He smiled as she hugged him tight. "Hey Bekah."

She smiled as they parted and then she went to hug Caroline.

"Where the bloody hell were you guys!" Rebekah said. "And why is your hair a mess? Both of you?"

"Klaus took me on the helicopter tour," Caroline looked at him and smiled, remembering their time in the sky.

"I wanted to do that!" Grace hit Leo.

"Well we were busy!"

"Busy riding other things! That could've been our other thing!"

Leo rolled his eyes, but the smile remained there on his lips as he watched her.

"Did you guys meet the fiancé? He's actually pretty cool," Barry said as he talked to Stefan. "Well Klaus I know you have, but Care did you?"

Caroline looked past Rebekah and at the man talking to Barry. "STEFAN?!"

"Caroline?" Stefan looked at her confused.

Caroline ran and hugged Stefan tight. "I didn't know you were with Rebekah!"

"I thought you did…" Stefan said confused as they broke their hug.

"Well I do now so that's alright."

"How do you guys know each other?" Barry asked.

"Caroline and I were friends back in Mystic Falls years ago before she moved to New York."

"You said you would keep in touch!" Caroline pouted.

"I seem to remember you saying you would keep in touch as well," Stefan grinned. Caroline rolled her eyes and sat down on the bed she and Klaus were going to be sharing tonight.

"Well I met this guys and he needs full time attention!" Caroline joked.

"Yes apparently I am a person that needs full time care." Klaus rolled his eyes sarcastically with a grin on his face. "Hello again Stefan."

"Klaus," He smiled as he gave him a quick 'bro hug'.

"Does he really need that much attention Care?" Stefan grinned.

"Nah, I can handle him."

"I think he can handle himself," Kara's voice came into the picture as she and Mon el joined the party.

"Finally! We have 5 minutes till moon rise," Grace exclaimed as she jumped back onto her bed and sat in a crisscross position.

"Okay Klaus, Leo, I have a question," Kara turned to Leo and Klaus. "You guys are werewolves…aren't you guys supposed to shift on a full moon?"

"A hybrid controls their transformations, meaning we can shift at any time of the day," Klaus explained.

"I don't particularly enjoy shifting because you break every single bone in your body, but I love the freedom that comes with running as a wolf, you feel the whole world at your feet."

"But the problem is when you wolf boys go on murderous rampages and slaughter paths of people, we have to clean up your messes, and by you wolf boys I mean Nik," Rebekah jumped in. "When Nik first shifted we found trails of bodies, he didn't know what he was doing and he wasn't in control. It is also pretty gross because when you shift back you're totally naked," Rebekah shook the thought out of her mind.

"Why must you bring up tales of my past sister?"

"Aha wolf, tails…" Barry joked, scanning the eyes of his piers. "No? Not funny?"

"That was actually good," Caroline pointed to him and giggled, jumping back onto her bed.

"Do we have food?" Barry asked as he stood up from his 'bed'.

"In the hut thing over there," Grace pointed, receiving a nod from Barry as he disappeared into the room.

"Oh right I forgot, Kara, Mon el this is Rebekah," Grace introduced.

"Hey Rebekah! We heard a lot about you!" Kara smiled.

"Nothing bad, I hope."

"No all good," Mon el retuned a grin.

"I'm Stefan, I nice to meet you," Stefan awkwardly jumped in.

"Hey Stefan!" Kara giggled as she realized how uncomfortable he was.

"That was enthusiastic," Mon el narrowed his eyes at her.

"I want to make them feel welcomed and not awkward."

"Nah, I think you're just scaring them," Barry said as he walked out from the darkness of the cabin.

"We can't get scared, darling, we are the things that people get scared of."

"You're right sister," Klaus intervened from his standing position.

"Why not we all settle in and get ready to watch the moon? It will rise right there…" Grace announced as she pointed her phone with the Sky View app towards the ocean, showing that the moon was just about to break horizon.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Everyone settled into their spots. Grace laid on her stomach, chin in her hands as Leo sat at the bottom of the bed, legs stretched out and arms propping him up. Kara and Mon el cuddled into the pillows against the headboard and stared in front of them, Mon el feeling anxiety hitting him like a truck, knowing the moment would be coming soon. Rebekah and Stefan lounged in their spot as Barry sprawled out in his. Caroline laid in the same position as Grace, except instead of her hands propping her face up with her hands, it was a pillow and Klaus sat up at the edge of the bed, his legs dangling off the side as his arms held him up like Leo's.

"Klaus," Caroline spoke, causing him to look her way. "Relax."

Klaus rolled his eyes, she could tell what he was feeling all the time. "Fine," He took two pillows and placed them behind him, kicking off his shoes, lying back, putting his knees up and his hands behind his head. "Better?"

"Much better."

"Okay it's time guys!" Grace exclaimed giddily.

Everyone's eyes were glued to face the ocean. The dark waves crashed on the sand, the only light you could see was the shine of a thousand stars and the white caps of the ocean bathing in them. Slowly, a red object started to peak over the horizon.

"Is that it?" Kara said in disbelief, her eyes widened.

"Yes!" Grace answered, double checking with the app to make sure.

The moon was blood red, the glow casting across the ocean making the water seem as if it was filled with blood. The moon kept rising as the minutes came and soon enough it was half way over the horizon looking like a giant tomato slice.

"Oh my god why is this taking forever?" Barry mumbled as he picked up his phone.

"I think its fascinating," Stefan said looking at Barry. "This kind of occurrence isn't natural and wont happen again for many years. I mean I've seen many in my life time but not like this, surrounded by friends and at a beach cabana," Rebekah turned to look at her fiancé moving to lay across his chest.

"Mon el are you alright?" Kara asked him as she felt him stiffen under her touch. "You seem very tense."

"And I thought Klaus was being tense," Caroline mumbled as she looked at Mon el's figure.

"I-Im alright, just watch the moon," He pointed to the rising moon.

Kara narrowed her eyes and sighed into his chest, trying to hide the small smile that crept onto her lips because she had that giddy feeling inside of her that he was going to pop the question.

10 minutes later

The moon was fully visible now, it was giant and bright red. "Okay gotta admit thats amazing," Leo said.

All of a sudden everyone jumped when they heard two back to back explosions.

"What the bloody hell?!" Rebekah shouted.

"It's fireworks, sister, relax," Klaus said as he looked at the bright lights falling from the dark sky.

Mon el carefully got up and walked into the little cabin.

"Where do you think you're going mister?" Kara pouted.

"I think you said that to me earlier, if I'm certain."

"She did! When you were looking at the cabana earlier!" Caroline butted in.

"Okay well I'm just going to the bathroom, alright?" Mon el compromised, receiving a disgusted face from the girls and a laugh from Barry.

Barry got up from his chair and sped over to Klaus who was checking the time on his phone. "Klaus," he whispered.

Klaus shut his phone and looked at his, hands folded against his chest, answering with a sarcastic tone, "Can I help you?"

Barry bent down closer to his ear, knowing very well that Caroline, Leo and Grace will be listening to him but he knew for sure that Kara was in her own world. "He's prepping."

With that, Klaus sat up and stood upright, straightening out his shirt. Caroline kneeled on the bed and moved closer to him, putting her arms on his shoulders so she could reach his ear. "Crap, I forgot what I was going to say…" she couldn't help but giggle. Klaus rolled his eyes with a smile and reverted his gaze over to the cabin where Mon el was prepping currently.

"I need you to do something for me Caroline, Grace and Rebekah…" Barry said seriously, the last part being a whisper so Kara wouldn't get suspicious. Both girls nodded and stood up.

"Kara why not we do take a walk?" Grace suggested nonchalantly.

"Alright," Kara answered as she set down her magazine.

"Girls trip!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Mon el you need to chill," Barry put both hands on his shoulders to make him face him. "You can do this."

"You shouldn't be scared mate, she loves you dearly," Klaus added from the doorway as Leo walked in.

"Look Mon el, she is already getting suspicious. Grace told me that when they were on the ride they were trying to figure out why you were acting like an ass and pulled together a stagey from Friends…"

"Crap! I was hoping she forgot about that!"

"Mon el she is the smartest person I know, she wouldn't forget that," Barry sighed. "Look, if she thinks you are going to propose to her, she will be very disappointed if you don't. And if she says no, which she won't… then I don't really know what to tell you, actually," Barry replayed his word choice in his mind.

"Not helping!"

"She won't say no, I can assure you," Klaus walked fully into the dimly lit cabin now. "I have never seen someone look at someone with that much love in their eyes, Kara looks at you like you're the only person in the world and you do the same to her. You guys are in love. I used to think love as a weakness, but now, its one of the strongest forces out there."

"Thank you, all of you for this support," Mon el said gratefully.

"We wish you the best," Barry smiled as he patted Mon el on the shoulder.

"Not to intrude or anything, but I've done this before," A fifth voice rang through their ears. "I was nervous as hell, but I knew in my heart that she loved me and would say yes, you need to realize that as well," Stefan smiled sympathetically.

"That actually does help, more than you know. Thank you, Stefan."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Okay I've never seen a moon that beautiful in all of my thousand years on this earth," Rebekah sighed in awe.

"I'm nervous…" Kara muttered a few moments later. The three girls turned their attention to Kara who was standing behind them. They were now by the shore standing directly in front of the glowing moon. "What if he doesn't do it, or what if he does…"

"Kara, he will, I know it," Caroline grabbed her hands. "He loves you."

"I know it too, he will," Grace smiled, knowingly.

"How can you be so sure? I'm a pure genus but I cannot see where this is going…"

"That's because love is crazy, it doesn't follow the rules of science or stuff like that, it follows your heart, your actions, his actions and his heart," Caroline explained.

"Kara, I was in a similar position as you when I thought Stefan was going to propose to me. He acted strange all day, not looking me directly in the eyes and constantly playing with his hands and jacket. I would ask him what was wrong and he would never answer, he would only reply with a simple 'nothing I'm fine.' Mon el has shown many more signs, he is probably having a pep talk with the boys right now."

"But he's using the bathroom…" She paused. "Oh… oh my god he's going to do it…" The girls watched as a smile blossomed on her face, "I'm going to get engaged!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The four girls returned back to the cabana just as the boys came out of their guy meeting. Klaus, Caroline, Stefan, Rebekah, Grace, Leo and Barry all stayed back at the cabana, lounging on their beds trying to act normal as Mon el asked Kara on a walk.

Before walking away into the darkness Kara turned to the girls and gave a very excited yet nervous smile.

"It's lovely right?" Kara started, looking at the bleeding moon in the black sky. Her hair blew in the wind as her thin clothing swayed.

"It is," Mon el looked down at her, not referring to the moon but to her. She looked up at him and they stared at each other for what felt like eternity. "This is going to be romantic as hell, watch this," Mon el broke the gaze by taking out his phone and playing a slow song that the both enjoyed. He offered her his hand and she took it without a second of hesitation.

Tell your heart to beat again, close your eyes and breathe it in, let the shadows fall away, step into the light of grace.

Yesterday's a closing door, you don't live there anymore.

Say goodbye to where you've been…

and tell your heart to beat again.

Mon el rocked them slowly, feeling the music and the waves hitting the ground underneath them. His hand was warm in hers and his eyes never left her face.

When the song started to fade, Kara leaned her head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around her.

"I love you," He whispered.

She didn't move. "I love you too."

Mon el then broke from her embrace once the song ended. Another boom suddenly rang through their ears but this time it was different. Kara gazed at the words sprawled across the sky,

I love you, Kara Danvers.

She smiled at him, teasingly. "What are you planning…?"

Mon el took off his jacket and threw it into the sand, glancing back at the cabana one last time, seeing that everyone was watching them. If she says no this was really going to suck.

She noticed that his hand was wrapped around something, a small box. She felt tears start to pool in her eyes as one slipped out, running down her cheek.

Mon el walked up to her and took her hands in his, putting that small box in between his arm and torso. "Kara Danvers, I love you so much. You are the love of all my lives and I will never, ever want to leave your side. You make me smile when I feel like I never could again, you make me laugh when I am feeling down. You make me happier than anyone ever could, your brought love into my life. You're the first thing I want to see in the morning and the last thing I want to see before I go to sleep, every night for the rest of our lives. I love you more than any earth in this universe…" Mon el pulled away from her, grabbing the small box and moving to place one knee on the ground. Kara gasped and put her hands over her mouth, tears flooding out of her eyes while they sprinkled his. "Kara Danvers, will you make me the happiest man in the world and be my wife?"

Kara's knees suddenly gave out and she was kneeling down in front of him too, wrapping her arms around him, soaking his shirt with her tears. She pulled away and wiped her eyes. "I would want nothing more."

Mon el let out a laugh in between tears and placed the ring on her finger, earring another hug from his fiancé.

"I love you so much," Kara whispered. Applause filled their ears as everyone came running towards the newly engaged couple. "I'M ENGAGED!" Kara screamed as she hugged everyone one by one. She pulled Caroline, Grace, and Rebekah into one big hug and then went to hug Barry, Leo, Klaus and even Stefan who she had just met.

"I think its time to celebrate," Barry grinned as he held up two bottles of champagne.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"To Kara and Mon el… I have been around for a thousand years and these past few days have been the best of my life. I was always marked as paranoid and insane but I have been introduced to new, amazing people and I'm so happy that I met all of you," Klaus smiled honestly looking at the group of his new friends. "Congrats guys."

"Aw I love you!" Kara giggled as she hugged him again, receiving a classic-off-guard-Klaus-grin.

They were all sitting on the floor around the fire they pitched in the middle of the cabana, champagne bottles were exposed and they were having a good time.

"Kara I've known you for a while now and you are one of my greatest friends, you are my super friend. Mon el, I've known you for a while too and I heard about everything that happened in your relationship…" Barry said.

"Everything?!" Caroline's eyes widened.

"No! God just the tough parts like the breakup and whenever Mon el was being an 'ass'."

"And I thank you still Barry, I used to think that this would never happen. Especially this. I never, ever thought that my life would lead to meeting an amazing group of people, getting engaged to the perfect man at the beach at moon rise. I love you all and I am very grateful for this amazing life I'm living," Kara clinked her glass with the rest of the group.
