Chapter 4: A Proposal from the heart

The sun had almost set as the Rovers returned to headquarters. They all filed out of the Sonic rover and headed to the briefing room. The Master spoke as soon as all the rovers entered, "Good work rovers thanks to you all of the T90 tanks have been recovered, and Havoc has been charged and jailed for a long time. You all have indeed passed my expectations again. Your good dogs rovers good, good dogs."

Hunter turned to everyone, "To The Power Of The Pack!" everyone said in unison, "AAAAARRRRRHHHHHOOOOO!"

After the debriefing everyone went to do their own thing. Axel and Ariel walked out together talking. Ariel spoke, "Axel thank you for saving me earlier."

They both stopped walking and faced each other. Axel spoke, "I'd do anything to keep you safe love."

Ariel smiled and they both kissed. After they broke apart Ariel spoke, "So you want to do anything tonight?"

Axel thought back to when he talked to Hunter and Colleen about how he would spend his night with Ariel before he proposed. 'Tonight's the night' he thought. He smiled and spoke, "Yes I do, meet me on the beach later tonight."

Ariel smiled, "Alright see you then." She kissed him on his cheek and left. Axel was happy, and glad the way the night might turn out later.

He didn't know that Hunter and Colleen were behind him. Hunter spoke, "So tonight's the night?"

Axel turned around and saw Hunter and Colleen, "yes it is."

"Good for you Axel," Colleen said.

"So you remember the advice we gave you?" Hunter said.

Axel nodded, "yes thanks again, tonight is going to be one I'll never forget. Well I have to go see you both."

Hunter and Colleen both smiled, as they knew that soon Axel and Ariel will be together forever.

An Hour Later

Axel and Ariel both walked outside hand in hand. Ariel gasped as she saw a small table set up, with roast beef, noodles with biscuits and some soda. And in the middle were some lit candles. Ariel spoke, "Axel you didn't have to do all this."

Axel smiled, "I wanted to Ariel, nothing's too good for you." They both kissed long till they needed air. "Well lets eat before the food gets cold."

Ariel agreed as they both sat down and began eating, they both talked about various things as they ate. After a few minutes they finished and Ariel spoke, "Axel the food was delicious thank you."

Axel smiled, "anytime love." Axel and Ariel both held hands and remained in silence for a couple of minutes, both just loving just being together. Axel spoke, "Ariel would you like to dance?"

"I would love to Axel," Ariel said.

They both got up and Axel turned on a portable stereo which played the song 'Could I Have This Dance' by Anne Murray.

I'll always remember the song they were playin',
The first time we danced and I knew,
As we swayed to the music and held to each other,
I fell in love with you.

Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner every night?
When we're together, it feels so right.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?

I'll always remember that magic moment,
When I held you close to me.
'Cause we moved together, I knew forever,
You're all I'll ever need

Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner every night?
When we're together, it feels so right.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?

I'll always remember the song they were playin',
The first time we danced and I knew,
As we swayed to the music and held to each other,
I fell in love with you.

Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner every night?
When we're together, it feels so right.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?

I'll always remember that magic moment,
When I held you close to me.
'Cause we moved together, I knew forever,
You're all I'll ever need

Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?
Would you be my partner every night?
When we're together, it feels so right.
Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?

After the song ended they both held each other close. "That was wonderful Axel," Ariel said.

Axel thought, 'ok now's the time' "Ariel I have something to tell you."

That got Ariel's attention, "what is it Axel?"

"Ever since the day we both began traveling with each other and when we both started falling in love. I've noticed that ever since we were separated that day we both kept our love for each other strong. When we where reunited our love has grown even more, the love we have will never be broken." Axel said.

Ariel had tears in her eyes, "Oh Axel." They both kissed.

When they broke apart Axel spoke again, "seeing all this made me relishes something." Axel then got down on one knee and pulled out a velvet box. "Ariel we've been together for a long time and I love you with all my heart. I want to be with you forever, Ariel will you marry me?" Axel opened the box and showed her the ring.

Ariel had more tears in her eyes. She hugged Axel, "Yes Axel I will marry you." Axel was filled with joy as he slid the ring on her finger. They both hugged and kissed each other, both forgetting the world existed.

Off in the distance Hunter and Colleen both were watching the happy scene unfold. "I'm Happy for Axel," Hunter said.

"Me too Huntie, it looks like were going to have another wedding," Colleen said.

"I know Colleen," Hunter said. Hunter began thinking and then thought of something. "Colleen I know a perfect wedding gift we could give to Axel."

"What is it Huntie?" Colleen asked. Hunter then whispered the idea into her ear. "Huntie That's a abso-bloomin-lutely wonderful idea, but how are we going to do that?"

"It'll take time but were both manage it if we work together," Hunter said.

Colleen smiled, "yes we both can do it when were together."

They both kissed each other and went back inside to leave Ariel and Axel alone. They knew that if their plan worked Axel world be even more happier then he is now.

A/N: hope you all like, just a couple left.
