It's a special day...but not a good one! Begin!

Universe*

~Normal POV

"Why did we call this family meeting today," Isadora asked, "We're mostly all here, but we don't know why."

"I suppose we'll find out eventually," Quigley replied.

Five out of the six adults were standing in Duncan's office in his house, where they usually met for their family meetings. The only person who wasn't present was Violet, who said she would be here momentarily with whatever the subject of their meeting was. Duncan had called her twice now and she had simply said she would be here soon. The suspense was kind of putting them all on edge. Duncan and Quigley were pacing, and Klaus, Isadora, and Fiona were all distracting themselves with books.

After some more time passed, Violet entered the room with a smile. However, she wasn't alone. With her was now 19 year old Trevor, Sunny's boyfriend.

Klaus raised a brow at his sister, "Uh, not to be rude Violet, but didn't you say this was a family meeting?"

Violet smiled, "Trevor is actually the subject of this meeting. Which means we can finally get it started; whenever you're ready, go ahead and start."

Everyone's eyes were now on the young man before them. He looked nervous and very uncomfortable at the attention he was receiving. He also looked anxious, as if whatever he was about to say was incredibly important. He glanced between each of the six adult family members. His hands were shaking slightly. After a while of tense silence, Trevor took a deep breath and presented to them something from his pocket.

"Violet, Klaus, I'm here to ask your permission to marry Sunny."

In his hand was a small ring box with a lovely diamond engagement ring inside. Trevor had recently gained his inheritance from his parents' deaths, from when he was young, and had surely spent a considerable amount on this gift just from looking at it. Everyone in the room stared in shock, after a few moments the rest of the family turned their attention to Violet and Klaus.

Sunny's two older siblings were wide eyed in disbelief. Trevor looked faint waiting for someone to say something.

"You're... you're going to propose to our sister," Violet said quizzically.

"Yes, I am... We've been together for years now and I really love her. I want to be with her, if she'll have me. I love Sunny Baudelaire and I promise I'll make her a happy woman. So what do you say?"

Violet and Klaus looked at each other. They didn't say anything out loud, but it seemed to everyone else that they were communicating inside their heads. After another round of silence, Violet and Klaus finally spoke the words that everyone knew they would say when this day came.

"YES!"

Trevor felt an enormous weight lift off his shoulders as the two hugged him, "You really mean it?"

"Of course we mean it! Our sister is getting married," Violet replied excitedly.

"I was starting to wonder when you'd ask," Klaus said wiping his eyes behind his glasses.

"Oh my god we're going to have a wedding," Isadora was practically jumping with excitement.

"Sunny is going to look so gorgeous," Fiona said, "When are you going to ask her?"

Trevor smiled sheepishly, "Today, soon, please don't say a word ok? I'm trying to make it a surprise. I've already told Hunter that I'm doing it, but he's keeping it a secret for me. Bea doesn't know yet either."

"Well don't keep the girl waiting then," Duncan said, "I can't believe this is happening."

"I know right," Quigley said, "The kids are going to flip when they learn their aunt is getting married!"

"I haven't asked her yet!"

"But you will, and I'm sure she'll say yes," Violet said.

Trevor put the ring back on his pocket, "Thank you! Thank you all so much for the support! I should go so I can get ready! I'll see you again soon if she says yes!"

~…

He had it all planned out. He was going to take her out to a picnic on the beach; he'd even cook all the food himself. They'd watch the sunset together and then he'd ask. He could only hope that she'd say yes. Currently, Trevor was in his apartment that he shared with his best friend Hunter. He would be picking up Sunny in a few hours for their special date.

"So you ready," Hunter was standing nearby as he finished getting ready for his date with Beatrice.

"No, but I have to be brave," Trevor replied shakily, "I'm about to ask my girlfriend to marry me!"

"I know you are. And I'm happy for you, buddy, but you've got to take the chance. Now if you'll excuse me I have a date with Bea," Hunter smiled before grabbing his jacket and leaving the apartment.

Trevor sat down on the couch and sighed heavily. He was so nervous. He had bought the ring damn near a month ago. It had taken every last ounce of his courage just to ask for permission to do it! And the ring in his pocket was all he had been thinking about since he picked it up from the jewelry store. Maybe he just shouldn't...

"No! I... I want to! I want to do it so badly. But I don't know if I have the courage."

His phone started buzzing. He pulled it out to see that it was Sunny. He quickly answered it.

"Hey Sunshine."

"Hi Trev, listen we're going to need to change our date plans tonight. I know you wanted to go to the beach to watch the sunset, but it just started raining and the weather forecast said that it's going to be raining all night."

He quickly got up and looked out the window to see that she was right. It had been a bit cloudy today but he had been so sure that it wouldn't rain.

"Just my luck."

"Uh, ok..." He racked his brain for a plan B, "How about I pick you up and we'll just have dinner here at my apartment?"

"Ok we can do that! I'll see you soon, bye honey!"

He hung up the phone and sighed, "Great... Well I should go pick her up I guess."

~Sunny's POV

I waited patiently for Trevor to come pick me up. He sounded really disappointed about the weather changing so suddenly. I wonder why. He's been acting so strange lately. I hope there's nothing wrong.

Trevor is a very good boyfriend. He treats me like a queen. And we're going to open that restaurant on Dark Avenue together soon with his inheritance so perhaps he's just nervous about that. I can't believe we're going to go into a business together! It'll be so fun to work alongside the man I love. But tonight was just supposed to be a date night for us. I hope it can still go well after the weather shifted. I was standing outside my apartment complex under the awning to keep myself dry as I waited for him. Trevor had told me to wear something nice for the occasion; I'm not sure what the occasion was but I complied anyway. I found a pretty dark blue dress to wear; it's simple but cute.

I saw his car pull up next to me and I eagerly got inside, "Hey Trev." I gave him a quick kiss.

"Hey Sunshine, are you ready to go?"

"Yes, I'm sorry about the rain," I replied as he started driving, "You sounded really upset."

Trevor smiled sheepishly, "It's fine... hey do you want to get a milkshake or something on the way?"

"Sure I'd love to!"

He drove us to a small café and left me in the car while he got us milkshakes. Once he came back, he handed me a strawberry milkshake. I quickly started drinking it... but something was wrong.

"Trev, what flavor is this?"

"Is something wrong?"

"Yeah, this is peppermint," I felt my tongue swell up to where I couldn't talk properly and I could feel the hives breaking out on my skin.

"Oh, shit! I thought it was just strawberry! I didn't know it had peppermint mixed in! I am so sorry Sunny," Trevor looked worried and scared, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

I knew I wouldn't be able to talk to him with my tongue all swollen, so I pulled out my phone and decided to communicate through texts.

I'll be fine! I need a baking soda bath for the hives and my tongue will go back to normal over time. You should really be more careful! You're lucky my allergies aren't fatal!

"I know, I know..." He frowned, "I'm sorry... can you forgive me?"

I rolled my eyes and nodded before texting him to just take us back to the apartment. Poor guy looked so disheartened. If I wasn't busy worrying about these awful hives all over my body, I'd try to cheer him up. He looked nervous too. He knows I'll forgive him right? He just has to be more careful next time.

~Trevor's POV

I wanted to bang my head against the steering wheel as I drove. First it started raining and cancelled the plans I had for our picnic, then I gave her a milkshake that had peppermint in it. And she's allergic to peppermint! This... is not a good day.

When we arrived at my apartment she quickly stepped into the bathroom to take a baking soda bath for her hives. I knew this might take a while so I just decided to start cooking our dinner for us. At least I can give her that. Maybe I just shouldn't propose at all. Today has been going so damn poorly and I wanted everything to be perfect! Or maybe it still could be? I just got a great idea!

I pulled out my phone and proceeded to call Duncan. If I was still going to do this, I needed some pointers from guys who had been married already. And there were three that I knew for sure would have great advice for me. When he answered I talked quietly just in case Sunny finished her bath early.

"Trevor is everything going ok?"

"No it isn't; I'll explain later, but right now I need advice. How did you propose to Violet? And tell me fast!"

I heard him start chuckling, "That's easy. I took her out to a beautiful flower garden at night and got permission from the people who owned it to decorate the place with fairy lights. I set up a little radio to play some songs for us. We talked for a while, and admired the flowers, and I even said a dumb line that made her laugh, 'the violets are beautiful tonight, and you're the most beautiful of all.' Stupid I know, but making her laugh calmed me down. Then I asked her the traditional way and she screamed 'yes'. Then we slow danced together. It was amazing."

Ok I can't do anything like that. I sighed and thanked him for the advice before hanging up. I quickly dialed Klaus. Maybe he had something more helpful. However, when I asked him the same question about how he proposed to his wife Isadora, his story was even less helpful.

"Well, it was in the backyard of our house at night. We had already started living together. We were lying on a blanket stargazing and talking before I finally worked up all my courage. It was a little less traditional because I used a couplet. I took her hand, got down on one knee and said, 'Isadora Quagmire you are the love of my life, will you do me the honor of being my wife?' She basically tackled me afterwards and I think her shouting her answer almost woke up the entire estate. That would have been embarrassing."

"Not nearly as embarrassing as how my day has been going," I internally screamed. Ok poetry definitely wouldn't work. I thanked him and hung up. This was starting to become a lost cause. I hurriedly dialed Quigley to ask him the same question.

"Easy, I took Fiona out to a picnic in a secluded part of Finite Forest and even strung up fairy lights everywhere. I can't cook so I had to get everything as take out, but I made sure to get all her favorites. We talked for a while then I asked her the traditional way and she screamed her answer and started kissing me all over. It was a wonderful night!"

"I'm sure it was..." I hung up and sighed as I continued cooking dinner.

I'm god damn pathetic. I shouldn't have asked them because it only made me feel worse. The rest of Sunny's family members all had wonderful, perfect proposal stories; and I'm sure she was hoping for something like those. I felt the weight of the ring in my pocket. I just shouldn't. I know I shouldn't. If I'm going to ask Sunny to marry me I want it to be special. And so far this day has been anything but special. If I tried to propose now she'd probably reject me because her family members all had it done... right.

I saw her pass by the kitchen. Her hives looked mostly gone but I could tell her tongue was still swollen. I couldn't help thinking about how weird her peppermint allergy was to begin with. She smiled at me and sat down in the living room.

"Hey Sunshine," I called to her.

She nodded at me in response so I continued, "I'm sorry that this day hasn't been going as planned."

Sunny shrugged and texted me, Oh honey, it's fine! You're making me dinner and we can still watch a movie or something. Any date is perfect, even if it goes a little wrong. Shit happens! What can you do?

When she wasn't paying attention, I smiled at her words. Maybe this could work out after all.

~Sunny's POV

"How's your tongue?"

"Better now that the swelling went down," I replied as we watched our movie. It honestly wasn't that interesting. We were making fun of it most of the time.

I was lying in his arms on the couch. Trevor has been acting so strange today. Ever since he picked me up he's been jumpy and nervous. I wonder what's going on with him. He's not usually like this. We continued watching our stupid movie and laughing at its absurdity. Once it was over Trevor put the movie away and began pacing around the living room.

"Trev, are you ok? You've been kind of... out of it today." I got up and walked over to him.

He stared at me in silence for a minute and then took a deep breath.

"Listen I wanted today to be a perfect day and so far it's been the exact opposite. We couldn't go out for our dinner, I gave you an allergic reaction, I almost burnt our food because I was so distracted and now that you're all better and happy I guess it's time for me to say why I was so out of it today."

I looked at him in immense confusion before he did the most unexpected thing I could have ever seen: he got down on one knee and pulled out a little box with an engagement ring inside.

"Sunny, I love you more than anything in the world. Will you marry me?"

I felt a few tears sting my eyes. He was nervous about proposing to me!

"YES! Of course I'll marry you!" I tackled him to the floor and kissed him. I've never seen him so happy. He gently put the ring on my hand; almost like he thought it would break if he touched it.

"I'm sorry that I couldn't do some more romantic proposal like I had planned-"

"Trevor... It's perfect I wouldn't have it any other way! Sure, my sister and my sisters-in-law all got some special perfect proposal stories but who cares? We're different! And I think this is as damn perfect as I could have ever wanted."

He kissed me again deeper this time before responding, "You have no idea how happy I am to hear you say that. I love you, Sunshine."

"I love you too, Trevor."

"Uh, hi, um, our teacher told me that you didn't have a partner so I was wondering if you wanted to work together."

"I'd love to, I'm Sunny Baudelaire."

"I'm Trevor Macready... It's nice to meet you..."

"It's nice to meet you too."

I could not wait to tell my family the good news!

~The End!

I have nothing else to add here! Sunny and Trevor are engaged!
