Be234therz: Thanks-ya! LOL Yes, Oprah, I loved the, "She's an inspiration!" so I had to have her in this story, LOL Well, this is the one downfall to writing prequels second, they're married in "If I didn't have you" so obviously she says yes, LOL but I guess, it could have happened at another time….hm…LOL

He was running down the street, and Amanda was trying to keep up with him, but eventually gave up, and just walked. When they finally got back to Drake's parent's house, he left Amanda there, who did not want to be there without him, but didn't have much of another choice. Then Drake rushed back to Talbot's, and took Josh to the NBC station in Downtown San Diego.
"What are we doing here?" Josh asked
"Oprah!" Drake said, imitating the way Josh says Oprah.
"Seriously? Oprah is in there! No way!"
"Yes,"
"Oh my God, my prayers have finally been answered!" Josh said, he folded his hands, and looked to the sky, "Thank-you," he said.
"Look, we're here to get her to propose to Amanda for me, not for you to be all," -he made a really stupid face and started flapping his hands around- "Oprah! Oh my GOD I love you! Marry me!" then Josh stared at him and finally said, "I do not sound like that!"
Drake sighed, and they got out of his car, and walked inside the building. There weren't many people on the first floor, but the tenth floor was a different story, there were news casters, camera men, directors, paparazzi, and of course, Oprah. When Josh saw her, he started flapping his hands, and was talking in a high squeaky voice, "Oprah! Oh my Goodness, it's Oprah!"
"Yes, Josh. Now, control yourself!"
"I'm sorry," Josh said
"Ah, Ms. Winfrey," Drake said, using a 'posh' accent
"Well, hello, Mr. Parker," Oprah said shaking his hand, "And you are….?" she said to Josh
"J-J-J-Josh," he said
"Well, hello Josh," Oprah said, shaking his hand
Josh looked at his hand, and then fainted.
"Well…I wanted to talk to you about you possible proposing to my wife on your show…"
"Oh, yes, Michael told me, I would love to do that, I don't think it's ever been done before,"
"Great, blazing trails, I like to do that,"
"I do also. So what exactly do you want said?" she asked
Drake told her what he had planned to say, and she had someone taking notes, then, when he finished telling her, they left the studio, and he was so happy about this.

One week later:
"Amanda!" Drake called
"What?" she answered
"Oprah's on," he said,
"Oh yay!" Amanda said, joining Drake, Mrs. Nichols, Mr. Nichols, and Josh on their couch.
(On the TV)
Applause
"Hello, I'm Oprah Winfrey, and we have a very special show today, our long time viewer Drake Parker, has something very special he wants to ask his girlfriend, Amanda Joy Michalka."
Amanda gasped, as she looked at Drake, then back at Oprah on the TV.
"I met with Drake a few days ago, and he told me he wanted the perfect way for this question to be asked, so he wanted me to help him out a bit, Drake."
Drake came running onstage, and sat next to Oprah, with his guitar, and started strumming on his guitar, and singing his song, Lost a Lover.
"Lost a lover
Gained a friend
I can't afford all the love that I spend
You said you'd wait for me
But there's no commitment I see
Can't you see I'm in love with you
Can't you see there's so much I do
You keep my head spinning around
It's hard to keep my feet on the ground
Talk to you in metaphor
I know the end babe
I've been there before
Oh how I want to be your friend
But I don't want this love to end
Can't you see I'm in love with you
Can't you see there's so much I do
You keep my head spinning around
It's hard to keep my feet on the ground
Can't you see I'm in love with you
Can't you see there's so much I do
You keep my head spinning around
It's hard to keep my feet on the ground
Thought our love would go on and on
Now I can't believe you're gone
Like the heavens have no end
Why can't I have your love again
Can't you see I'm in love with you
Can't you see there's so much I do
You keep my head spinning around
It's hard to keep my feet on the ground"
Oprah clapped, and so did the audience, then Oprah and Drake said together, "Amanda will you marry me?" Well, Oprah said, "will you marry him."
------
In their living room:
Drake got down on one knee, and took Amanda's hand, Amanda was very excited, and shocked at the same time, then Drake said "Amanda, you make me happier than I have ever been, my life has new meaning and happiness because you're in it, and it could only get better if you were my wife, will you marry me?"
Amanda was starting to cry (happy tears of course!) then she smiled, and said, "Yes,"
Then he put the ring on, and they hugged, and kissed. Then the whole room was filled with 'awwah' and crying, (again, happy tears.) Josh was dancing, then he said, "I think I should be the entertainment at your wedding." No one was sure if he was serious, so no one said anything.
A/N: Wow, interesting chapter, their wedding will be in this story, then there will also be how Amanda gets her job, so the next chapter'll come very soon!
