A/N: I know it's been ages since I updated, but well…kinda had writer's block and I never got around to updating between: school, broken hearts, friends, and other…stuff. Went through some hard things. BUT, here is an update at long, long last!

Disclaimer: I don't own RENT or Legally Blonde the Musical (there is a reference to that in here. If you get it right, brownies to you!).

Dedication: This one goes out to Twisties (Yay!)

Alyssa stumbled into her apartment late that night after Collins' funeral. She found Meg waiting for her, expecting updates on Roger. She saw that her friend had been crying, and immediately stood up to wrap her in a hug.

"It's ok," she whispered, gently rubbing her friend's back. "It'll all be ok."

Alyssa sniffled. "Thanks, Meg." They sat on the couch, and relaxed.

"So?" Meg asked. "What's going on with Roger?"

Alyssa smiled. "Every time he looks at me, it's totally proposal eyes!"

"Omigod!" Meg exclaimed. "Looks like you've won the prize!"

"I know! I hope I'm right, though. I mean…I don't want to assume…or look like I expect it or anything…"

"Lyss, he totally loves you. I can see it in his eyes when he talks to you. You have no need to worry!"

"I'm sure you're right…" Alyssa sighed. "Look, I'm tired so…"

"Say no more," Meg said, kissing her friend on the cheek, and leaving.

Alyssa crawled into bed, and took out her journal. She wrote:

Dear Diary,

Collins died the other day. I've never seen Roger and Mark so heartbroken, not to mention Maureen. She looked like a wreck. Poor dear, her best friend just died. I know how that feels. Oh, boy, do I know how that feels. I'm sad, although I didn't know him that well. I guess I felt a kind of…connection, you know? On other news, it's been so incredibly amazing with Roger lately. Diary, I think he's going to propose to me sometime soon! Meg thinks so, too. Oh gosh, I hope she's right! I think my heart's nearly mended from the hole Toby left when he passed. Perhaps we can start a family together, Roger and I. I would absolutely love that. Have I finally found love? My heart thinks it has. I can only hope nothing else happens. I don't know how we'll all take it. Another family member can't die, not now. I will go now, diary, but I'll be back. Goodnight.

She turned off the light, and sank into a deep slumber almost instantly.

Roger opened the little box, and closed it. He opened it again, and closed it again. After doing this several times, Mark finally spoke up.

"Come on, man, it's not going anywhere!"

"Except on Alyssa's finger…I hope…" Roger responded.

"Of course it will! I know she loves you. I can see it in her eyes. Hey, let me see the ring again," Mark said.

Roger handed him the box carefully. It contained a beautiful ring, with a single, small diamond in a heart shape. It was very nice, considering it was all he could afford. Mark sighed in approval, and tossed the box carefully back to Roger.

"Night, man," he said, before snuggling up with Mr. Scarfie in his room.

Roger chuckled. "Poor boy needs to get a life." He picked up his guitar, and began to play. He had been practicing the song he wrote for Alyssa. He'd play it when he proposed to her.

Your eyes

As we said our greetings

Can't get them out of my mind

And I find I can't hide

From your eyes

The day you came into my life

Where there's daylight

I see your eyes

I'm longing so to hold you

So there's something I should tell you

Yeah, there's something I should tell you

When I look into your eyes

I see Heaven

And I swear I can fly

When I see your eyes

So I should tell you

I should tell you

I love you, I love you always

You can see it in my eyes

Alyssa

After making sure it was near-perfect, he let himself go to bed, tired, but happy.

The next day, Alyssa went out dress shopping with Meg. After browsing through many, many stores, they finally made a selection. It was a knock-out, beautiful Spanish-style dress. It was black, and off-the shoulder. There was a fake rose pinned on. The end was diagonally cut, and had red trim. They paired it up with black ankle-strap high heels, and Meg styled Alyssa's hair into a fancy twist, pinning a real rose in. After makeup was applied, Alyssa put on some perfume, and tried to stay calm. She couldn't help but to shake, though.

Meg laughed. "Calm down, sweetie! Your makeup's going to run, not to mention you'll give yourself a heart attack!" she joked.

"I'm sorry!" Alyssa cried. "I just can't help it!"

Meg looked her friend in the eyes. "Don't worry about a thing," she reassured Alyssa. Alyssa ran into her friend's open arms. Meg gently comforted her, and looked at her again. Wow, she looks beautiful. And so sexy. Wait, what am I thinking? She's my best friend! She's practically my sister! I can't think of her that way! I mean…I'm in love with Jake…right? I gotta shake this off…I don't need confusion with my sexuality on top of all this. I need to be here for her. Maybe I'll talk to her about this later…

"Now, go get him!" Meg said. Alyssa smiled, and kissed Meg quickly on the lips. "Thanks, Meg!" she called over her shoulder as she left the apartment, leaving Meg stunned. Wait…did she just kiss me? Oh wow, that felt amazing. I think I'm…no! I can't be falling for her! I'm not…I'm not…oh God…

Alyssa knocked on the door to the loft. Roger let her in, and kissed her passionately…

To be continued!!

Muah ha ha ha I love these cliffhangers!! So, is Meg falling for Alyssa? How does the proposal go? Will Mark ever find a girlfriend? Tune in later to find out!! By the way, a lot of Meg's thoughts are true, and most of it happened between me and the REAL Alyssa…and I mean it's REALLY true. I will gladly talk about it over PM with anyone curious. Teehee, now go review!! (Anyone catch the LBTM references? And yes, I did alter Your Eyes to fit the situation.)
