"Destiny?" I saw tracks that pointed toward the forest and decided to follow them.
The tracks ended halfway through the forest. "Destiny? You can come out now. This isn't funny anymore…" At that moment I realized the tracks were too big to be a Lopunny's. A few feet back, there were Lopunny tracks, then a Houndoom's tracks crossed them at the end.
"No. No. No, no, no, no NO! I… I've failed! I've lost Destiny and Sam, the ones I swore to protect!" I was reduced to a sniveling heap on the ground for what seemed like hours, until I heard a voice:
"Tenkai?"
I turned my head up and saw Destiny, with an ashamed look on her face.
"Destiny!" I got up and hugged her tightly, being careful not to damage the egg. "I thought something attacked you."
"Nope," Destiny replied, almost crying. "I'm fine."
"Good, because I thought this was going to go to waste." I knelt down. "Destiny, from the moment we met, I knew it was destiny, no pun intended, for us to be together." I glanced at the egg briefly. "And given recent circumstances, I think it's time for our relationship to get more serious. Destiny…" I paused as I revealed the ring. "Will you marry me?"
She stared at the ring with surprise. "Take Sam. Quick, take Sam. Take-" She began to fall backward, fainting.
I managed to catch Sam and Destiny before either of them hit the ground. "Destiny, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. You just surprised me." I set her on her feet. "Yes, I will."
"I knew you would." I slipped the ring on her finger as she let out an excited squeal.
We walked back to "camp," now more excited than ever.
"Alright," Baron chuckled, "it's obvious something's up. Come on, spit it out. Why are you two happier than normal?"
I looked at Destiny as she gave me a nod. "Well, we're getting married!"
"What's a married?" Chloe asked.
"I'll explain it to you later," Alan replied. "Congrats, you two. When's the wedding?"
"I don't know," Destiny answered. "We haven't thought of that yet."
"It doesn't have to be anything big. After all, there are only 8 of us here."
"Good point. How about sometime next week?"
"Sure."
When we RP'd this part I legit almost had a minor anxiety attack...
Especially because it took my friend 3 hours to respond after my string of "no's." -~-
Don't worry, I'm fine now.
