I do not own Rocket Power...

After the contest, Reggie took pictures with sponsors of the contest and got her award. Once she was done being congratulated by people, she went to her friends and hugged each of them.

"Reg, you were awesome out there!" Sherri gushed. "I'm so glad I got to watch you!"

"Thanks. I'm glad you were here as well." Reggie hugged Sherri.

"You rode those waves like a pro," Trish said as she had Otto hugging her from behind.

"Eh...I've seen better." Otto joked.

Reggie hit him again and the group laughed.

"So...looks like you're off to college now. You're leaving us for good." Sam said.

"Sammy, don't think like that. I will still come back. Did you forget weekends, holidays and reading week?" Reggie said.

"I know but still. I am happy for you either way." Sam said hugging his friend.

"I recorded the whole thing," Twister said. "I will put it on a DVD and make a copy for you if you like."

"That would be awesome, Twist! I need to show Raymundo, Noelani, and Tito when I get home." Reggie said. "Hey, where's Lars?"

"I don't know. He wasn't with us when the contest was going on." Clio replied.

Reggie turned around and saw Lars looking at them. Otto nudged her and said, "I still don't like him, but you should talk to him. He did drive down here to see you after all."

"Yeah. Give him a chance, Reg." Twister said.

Reggie nodded to her friends and made her way over to Lars. She felt her friend's eyes looking at her as if they were waiting to see what was going to happen next. Nosey! Lars put his hands in his pockets nervously, and Reggie spoke up first, "So, you saw everything..."

"You still got it," Lars said.

"You coming down here says a lot on your part." Reggie snickered.

"I only came down to say what I wanted to say," Lars said as he started to fumble with his dog tags. "You were the first thing in my life that was going perfectly, and that's what I told Pi, Sputz, and Animal before I cut them out of my life for good. I started to feel things for you, and that's why I took that fake engagement seriously. I didn't want to lose you, especially to guys you may meet in college."

"Lose me?" Reggie raised an eyebrow.

"Look," Lars started and stopped fumbling with his dog tags, "you're a great girl. You're smart, pretty ballsy...really hot..."

Reggie blushed at his comments.

"And any guy would be lucky to have you. I can't compete with guys in college. I'm a Marine working in an auto body shop for fuck's sake. Plus, I don't want to hold you back any longer. You want independence, and that was the reason why we went along with this fake engagement. I took it seriously because I fell in love with you and I didn't want to let you go. I'm not going to hold you back like I was trying to do."

"Holding me back?" Reggie snickered. "Lars, you were never holding me back!"

Lars looked at her confused and said, "Wait, what?"

"Lars," Reggie started, "once I came down here, I did thinking, and I figured out that I didn't want to let you go either. I thought that when I called you stupid back in Ocean Shores, you would chase after other girls because you didn't want to deal with me. Here I was thinking, 'Okay, so I'm not engaged. Let me have fun.' But it just only made me realize how much I need you in my life."

"You need me in your life?" Lars was now really confused.

"Growing up, I knew you at the bully who use to torment my friends and me for shits and giggles. I didn't want anything to do with you. But the day I crashed Raymundo's car into that lamp post and asked you to be my escort to my party as an attempt to sabotage it had to be the best day of my life. I look back, and I'm glad everything that led me to you all happened."

"Even the part with me being a bully?" Lars asked.

"Sounds crazy, but yes! That is even all worth it." Reggie said. "So...reenlist in the Marines or stay in Ocean Shores to work with your uncle. I don't care because where ever you go, I'm coming too. And where ever I go, I'm bringing you along with me."

Lars, being taken aback by what Reggie was saying, said, "If that is the case, what's in it for me?"

Reggie took Lars' hands and got down on one knee. This caused attention to the onlookers, including her friends. Some even gasped and took out their phones to either film or record it. Twister took out his camera to film what was going on.

'Look! She's proposing to him!' one person said.

'He doesn't have to do all the work. Nice.' another said.

"Lars Rodriguez...I can't imagine not having you in my life because I know for sure that life would suck. So will you consider being my fiance for real this time?"

Lars smiled at Reggie and said, "Anything for you."

Reggie smiled with tears in her eyes. These were tears of happiness. She was engaged for real this time! Lars pulled her up by her hands and kissed her in front of everyone. Reggie's friends started to cheer for her. Even Otto had a smile on his face. Whatever made Reggie happy...but that meant the guy he has been rivals with for a long time was going to be his new brother in law. Crap! Lars took the ring out of his pocket and said, "I think you may need to wear this."

He placed it back on Reggie's finger and kissed her again. He scooped her into his arms and spun her around. Wow, this was crazy. The group ran over to the newly for real engaged couple and congratulated them. Otto swallowed his pride and shook Lars' hand and said, "Make my sister happy. If not, I'm going to seriously whomp you."

"Yeah, okay, Rocket dork." Lars snickered.

"It looks like I'm back to my best man duties!" Twister said.

"Who even said you had the job?" Lars joked making Twister glare at him.

"So, Otto," Sam started, "it looks like we may have a double wedding here?"

"Sam!" Otto and Trish exclaimed while blushing as everyone laughed.
