To say Lucas was nervous was an understatement. Serenity and him had been together for a few years and he knew right away he wanted to ask to marry her. The question was, how to do it. Should he make some sort of grand gesture? With flowers everywhere with a candle lit dinner and music playing in the background? Maybe in front of her friends and family? No, something more subtle and private so she wouldn't get too embarrassed by the spectacle. As for the ring, something simple. He'll have flowers; white irises to be exact and one other that she really likes. Now the location; nothing public, don't want to overwhelm her. Have indoor and outdoor options in case of weather problems. No dinner before, he didn't want to get so nervous and end up getting sick; maybe afterwards. It had to be special and unique just like her. He then saw his guitar and knew he would sing to her and maybe get his band mates to help. Things were coming together, so long as he doesn't fall apart. Serenity was worried about her Puppy, he's been acting strange lately; very secretive. She tried to get him to fess up but he wouldn't budge. She even tried to ask Faang but he swore he wasn't supposed to tell. Not even Hoppe giving him The Look worked, and that always did. Whatever this was, it was important and it was killing Serenity to not know what it was. Her theories ran wild, and most were over the top. Emilee, her brown haired friend, found it all rather amusing seeing her trying to figure out the big secret; the thing is, she already knew what it was just not the details. It took everything within her not to spill the beans but she always pulled the same stoic face Fenn gave her when she was trying her kwami's patience.

"Oh, Emilee," whined Serentiy. "I just want to know what Lucas has been up to! He's been practicing with his band a lot and he won't even let me listen in and he always lets me listen!"

"Maybe they just want to work on a song without anyone else listening until they are sure of it. Musicians are weird about that kind of stuff. You're over thinking this, just relax. Whatever he's planing its going to be good."

"How do you know?"

"I just know, trust me," Emilee smiled.

After that, Serenity kept herself occupied so her thoughts wouldn't go crazy trying to figure out what Lucas was up to. Emilee said it was going to be good, so she believed it. It was all set up perfectly; a nice quiet, secluded area of the park with a great view of the night sky. Blanket and snacks would be there, Lucas would have flowers and his band mates would be there to play and quickly leave afterwards to let Lucas ask the question. It was the perfect setup, that is if the forecast hadn't called for rain all week. Knowing she probably wouldn't want to have it out in the muddy park he opted for the next best thing and with Emilee's help, get it set up. The two of them were at the spot working out the details.

"I can't believe you managed to get this for us on such short notice," said Lucas.

"The director owed me a favor. But you only have a few hours though."

"I know, but still, I can't thank you enough."

"It's no big deal. I'm really happy for you guys. She's gonna love it," beamed Emilee.

"I hope so," Lucas said softly.

The time soon came and Emilee was leading Serenity to the place where it was about to happen. When Serenity saw it, she was a little confused.

"Why are we at the Planetarium?"

"There's something you need to see," Emilee said cryptically.

Emilee dragged the short girl inside and stopped at one of the auditoriums.

"Am I supposed to just go in," asked Serenity.

"Yeah, go on in."

She did and what she saw took her breath away. The lights were out except for the artificial starlight and moonlight projected onto the ceiling. It seemed like the "sky" was full of them, casting an ethereal glow about the room. She happened to have looked down and saw a trail of cherry blossoms in the aisle. She followed it to the center of the auditorium. She saw Lucas there, next to a blanket with her favorite snacks and his guitar case and in his hand a bouquet of white irises.

"Lucas, what is all this?"

"I just wanted to do something special for you Bun-Bun."

Serenity stepped up to Lucas and took the flowers from him. Feeling rather shy from the attention, she hoped there wasn't anything else he planned.

"Lucas, this is so sweet of you," she said softly.

"Hold on, it's not over yet," smiled Lucas as he bent down and opened his guitar case.

"You're gonna sing?"

"Yep, and I have a little help."

Serenity saw that Lucas' band mates appeared. One guy was sitting on a Meinl percussion block with a cymbal next to him. The other had an electric guitar and Lucas with his acoustic. Lucas began to play the first few notes and then, opened his mouth to sing.

"I don't want another pretty face. I don't want just anyone to hold. I don't want my love to go to waste. I want you and your beautiful soul."

Serenity let the music wash over her and the sweet words he was singing. She'd always loved his voice. Whenever she was upset, he would sing to her to help her feel better. Even listening to his band practice helped lift her mood at times, but those moments alone together were her favorite.

"You're the one I want to chase. You're the one I want to hold. I won't let another minute go to waste. I wan you and your beautiful soul."

She always felt embarrassed when she was put into situations like this but she loved it just the same. Her Pup was pretty affectionate when he wanted to be. She gets pretty emotional whenever he goes over the top and she starts to cry. But what he was singing was so sweet and it struck a cord with her.

"Am I crazy for wanting you? Baby do you think you could want me, too? I don't want to waste your time. Do you see things the way I do? I just want to know if you feel it, too. There is nothing left to hide."

Lucas finished the song after singing the chorus twice. When the last of the notes died, Serenity clapped softly for them.

"Hey, thanks guys. I'll see later," said Lucas to his friends.

"No problem, good luck," winked the percussionist.

When they left, Serenity and Lucas were alone again.

"That was great! Was that why you couldn't let me listen to your practice last week?"

"Yeah, I didn't want you to hear it just yet."

"Lucas, really, what's this all about?"

He stepped closer to her and took her hands in his.

"Does there need to be a reason to show my girl how much I love her?" Serenity shook her head no. "But, there really is a reason for this." He took a deep breath and spoke again. "I had originally intended to do this outside with the diamonds in the sky but then the clouds rolled in. I asked them to fill the map with as much diamonds as possible because you are worth that and more. However, I did managed to get one of those diamonds." Lucas pulled out a small box and got down on one knee. "Serenity, the day you hopped into my life is a day I'll never forget. Since then, we've had many unforgettable days together and now, with this," he opened the box to reveal a princess cut diamond set on a platinum band. "We have more unforgettable days, including this one. Will you marry me?"

Serenity began to sob. Her heart exploded with emotions and try as she might, she couldn't quiet answer him. But, her actions could do it for her. She nodded vigorously and grabbed his face for a kiss. It took Lucas by surprise but he quickly kissed her back. After separating, she giggled and said the one word he longed to hear.

"Yes," she whispered.

He smiled and took the ring and placed it on her finger. The two spent the rest of the night in each other's arms basking in the light of the diamonds in the sky.

Back again with another story for Princess Sakura Serenity with her two Miraculous Ladybig OC's, Shiroi Usagi and Lupus (bunny and wolf). I wrote this for her as my gift to her for her work doing fan dubs of Miraculous Ladybug comics and to congratulate her and Isa on their engagement.

In here is a cameo appearance of an OC that belongs to Kalyn McCabe who does voice overs with Serenity. Her name is Emilee and I hope to have a oneshot done for her soon once I can get my head around a decent story. Look for her on Twitter twilitwing

The song is an acoustic version of Jesse McCartney's song "Beautiful Soul" by Boyce Avenue. These guys do amazing acoustic covers and gotta say, some sound better than the original. Their YouTube is here: user/boyceavenue/videos
