I don't own Rocket Power...

After dinner, they went to a nearby bakery and ate flan only because Lars was craving flan for whatever reason. After desert, Lars drove Reggie back home. The two were rapping to Big Sean's, "IDFWU" on the ride home. It was strangely a fun night for Reggie. Probably the most fun she had in a while. Once they got to Reggie's house, they were laughing about what just happened. Lars found himself gazing at her as he had been at her party.

"Well...that was fun," Reggie said.

"Let me get you to the door," Lars said snapping out of it as he got out of the car.

He walked around his car to let Reggie out like he did when they went to the pizza place. He took her hand and helped her out of the car.

"Very gentleman like of you," Reggie said.

Lars walked her to her doorstep and faced her.

"Well...I surprisingly had a fun time." Lars said.

"Surprisingly?" Reggie asked.

"Yes. Surprisingly because I never imagined myself actually going on a date with you." Lars said.

"Because I'm friends with your brother and Otto hates you?" Reggie asked.

"That's pretty much it." Lars laughed. "Normally, my dates don't end with me taking a girl to her front door."

"Where you come from, dates end with Netflix and chill." Reggie laughed.

Lars smirked at her sarcasm.

"Okay...so...I guess I will see you soon..." Reggie said staring up at him.

"Yeah..." Lars nodded.

He bent down, tucked her hair behind her ear and kissed her on the cheek. She knew it was a thing in Hispanic culture to kiss one on the cheek, so she wasn't surprised at his gesture. The two looked at each other and felt their breaths quicken. Sure enough, the two moved in for a kiss on the lips. The kiss was so heated and passionate that Reggie moaned as if she wanted more. Lars pushed her against her door and pressed his body against hers making Reggie go weak in the knees. Wow. He was an excellent kisser. He was skilled with his lips. Was it a Hispanic thing or was it a Lars thing? This is what it felt like to be kissed and kissed. Sherri was right about wanting to be pushed against the wall. Just then the door opened, and Reggie and Lars looked up to see an angry Raymundo.


Meanwhile in the house...

The boys were upstairs studying. Sam made sure of it.

"Man...what are we going to need to know the French revolution for?" Twister complained.

The boys heard a car pull up. Reggie must've been back from her date.

"Let's go spy on Reggie," Otto said.

"Guys, that's invasion of privacy, and we have a test..." Sam was cut off by Otto and Twister looking out the window.

"Okay, let's go spy on Reggie," Sam said defeated.

The boys looked out the window to look at Reggie and Lars.

"Wow. He let her out of the car." Sam said. "Very un-Larsy of him."

"Now they're walking to the door. Wonder what they are going to do next." Twister said.

Otto was watching them like a hawk. The boys saw Reggie and Lars exchanging words. Reggie had a smile on her face. Trent or any other boy never made her smile like that. Lars even looked happy himself.

"Wow...Lars never smiles like an idiot around girls. The last time he did that was when he was with his last girlfriend, Alison." Twister said.

"Is that the one who had a weird closeness with her cousin?" Otto asked.

"Yeah. My mom hated her." Twister said.

"Guys, he's kissing her on the cheek!" Sam said.

The guys watched on as Lars kissed Reggie on the cheek. Otto was in protective brother mode. He knew the type of guy Lars was; say romantic things, get in a girl's pants. Not on his watch was Lars going to sleep with Reggie.

"Wow. She looks...whoa!" Sam cried.

"Wow. They are going at it." Twister said. "Like two sex deprived rabbits."

"Not on my watch!" Otto grumbled and ran downstairs to get Raymundo. "Dad! Reggie and Lars are doing something they shouldn't be...on our doorstep!"

Raymundo sprang up from the couch with Noelani following. He opened the door to find Reggie in Lars' arms. He quickly let go of her and wiped her lip gloss off his lips.

"Reggie! What's going on here?" Ray screamed.

"Oh...hi, dad...Lars and I were just..." Reggie looked at Lars and looked past her dad and saw Otto with a smug smile on his face. That son of a bitch!

"Do you think I'm stupid? I know what goes through the mind of a 19-year-old man! Get in here! The night is over! Lars, go home! You're no longer welcome here." Raymundo said, and then Reggie sprang in.

Noelani was trying to reason with Raymundo.

"Dad, don't punish Lars! It was my fault. We were...celebrating..." Reggie said.

"Celebrating what? His tongue down your throat? Or the fact I could've been a grandfather early because you two can't control yourselves!" Ray screamed.

"No...we...got engaged!" Reggie said out of the blue.

Lars looked at her utterly stunned at what she blurted out.

"What?!" Ray, Noelani, and Otto screamed together.

"Yeah...what?" Sam added.

"You guys are engaged?" Twister said excitedly. "I have to make phone calls!"

"No...don't..." Lars called out and watched his brother run upstairs excitedly.

"Yeah...I mean, it was so sudden, but we just knew, you know...so we got that excited and...can we come in?" Reggie said.

Ray sighed and let Reggie in.

"Lars, get in here." he said slightly annoyed.

"So you got engaged...to him?" Otto asked not fully believing it.

"Looks like I'm your new brother in law, huh Rocket dork?" Lars said making Otto glare at him.

"Just when I couldn't think life was going to get any worse..." Otto grumbled to Sam.

"Both of you have a seat," Ray said.

Reggie and Lars took a seat.

"So...are you for real or just pulling my leg?" Raymundo asked.

"For real..." Reggie and Lars answered.

"You can't be serious," Otto said.

"Lars, you aren't doing this to have your way with Reggie?" Ray asked looking at Lars in the eye.

"No...I love Regina and..." Lars looked at Reggie, who glared at him for calling her Regina. "I want to spend the rest of my life with her. She's beautiful, smart and everything I've been looking for in a woman."

Lars took Reggie's hand and held it to look convincing. Otto wanted to throw up in his mouth. Sam thought it was rather strangely sweet. Twister was talking to his mother upstairs.

"Reggie...you just turned 18. You sure you want to be engaged this young?" Noelani asked.

"Didn't you and my dad get engaged after you two dated for about a week?" Reggie asked.

"Big difference, Reggie!" Otto started. "She and dad knew each other for a long time."

"And we knew Lars when we were younger." Reggie snapped back. "We all played hockey together. Remember?"

Otto made a face of disgust. Ray sighed and said to Lars sternly, "You are to treat my daughter with
respect. And there will be no wedding until AFTER Reggie graduates from college. You understand?"

"Yes, sir," Lars said.

"AND...if I find out you two eloped, I will not be happy. So don't think of eloping because I will, and I can physically prevent the both of you from doing so..." Raymundo said almost threatening.

"No...absolutely not," Lars said.

"Believe me, Raymundo. This is going to be a very looong engagement." Reggie said.

"Lars, mom wants to talk to you!" Twister ran downstairs as chipper as ever.

His brother was getting married to his long-time friend. Lars took his brother's phone and said, "Hi, mom!"

He held the phone away from him because his mother squealed excitedly over the other line. All the group heard on the phone was, "Oh, mi hijo! Congratulations! You're getting married!"

"Okay...okay...yeah...alright, mom will you chill out? Okay! Yeah...alright...bye!" Lars hung up and threw Twister's phone at him.

"What did your mom say?" Reggie asked.

"She's excited," Lars said.

"There is only so much excitement I can take for one night." Otto ran upstairs.

"Yeah, same here. Lars, just because you are engaged to my daughter doesn't mean you can sleepover. Go home." Ray said as if he was still digesting the news.

"I guess we should start planning for this wedding," Noelani added while following Ray.

"Oh man! This is so exciting! Reggie is going to be my sister in law!" Twister gushed.

"Looks like you have best man duties to look forward to, Twist," Sam said and followed him.

Oh great. What had Reggie gotten them both into? She turned to Lars, who had his hands in his jean pockets and she said, "I'm so sorry..."

"Yeah...now we have a bigger issue on our hands. We have to pretend we are engaged!" Lars was furious.

"Look, my dad caught us, and I was scared he may make a comment about who I am seeing, and I don't want that," Reggie said. "Plus, this could be a good thing...I mean, he did say until I move out or get engaged, I'm my own free person."

Lars sighed and said, "Well...since we are going to pretend we are engaged, you need a ring. I have my great grandmother's ring she had left me before she died. So use that as to convince people we are engaged."

"That will do, I guess," Reggie said.

"Hey, Mrs. Rodriguez, you may be engaged but it is still a school night! Lars, go home!" Raymundo called from upstairs.

Lars looked at Reggie and shrugged. With that, he left the house.
