(Chapter Seventeen – Proposal at the Game)

Four years have passed. The famous football player, Sena Kobayakawa, was now 23 years old. His girlfriend, who is the famous actress, Maya Kitajima, was now 21 years old. Over the past few years, the D-Bats were now a major-league football team. They hardly ever lost any games and their future was looking pretty bright. Sena and Maya have been together for about four years now, but because of their very busy lifestyle, they were always away from each other.

The only thing that kept them in contact with each other was the Internet and their cell phones. Sometimes they would run into each other, which was always a pleasing surprise. Maya no longer had a mentor, she was doing fine all by herself. She would get tons of calls to do movies and plays, which she did, but she turned down the ones about romance. She didn't want to act those roles because she felt like that would betray her love for Sena, also because she just didn't want anything to do with anybody else. Acting or not, she didn't want anything to do with it.

Maya has been one of the cheerleaders for the D-Bats lately; it was like a part-time job like thing for her. She was the only girl there that didn't dress like a slut, and people didn't like that, but Sena did, he loved it. He loved the fact that she didn't want to flaunt her body to the world. The only one she wanted to show off her body for was her beloved Sena when they get married, and that's what she told many people whenever they asked her why doesn't she show any skin for the audience. She was so sweet, so pure, and so innocent. Sena couldn't ever get enough of her.

Today was a very special day. Not only because the D-Bats were about to win the game for about the 1000th time, but also because Sena was going to propose to Maya in front of everyone. He always dreamt about this moment, and it's finally here. After a little while later, the game was done and over with. The D-Bats won the game 72 to 7! What a victory it was for them. The team started to celebrate on the field as they were on their way to the super bowl. Hiruma was talking to a news reporter who was asking him questions, Monta was dancing around for fans in the crowd, Kurita was signing autographs, and everyone just seemed so busy.

Sena's mission: find Maya and ask her the most important question of your life. Sena started to walk over to where the cheerleaders were at, and Maya instantly seen him coming her way. She stopped talking to the girls as she stared at him. All of the other girls looked to see what she was looking at, and when they found out, they started to nudge her and what not.

She didn't bother to make them stop; she didn't really care at the moment. He soon reached her, that usual smile on his face. "You did great out there," Maya said with glee, she sounded so cute to him.

"All because you were cheering me on," he happily replied to her. The two then began to have conversation after conversation, not even paying the others any attention, but they were enjoying being nosy and listening to what they were saying anyway.

After a while, Sena believed now was the time to break the ice. He had to quit being a coward and get on with it. He started to rub the back of his head as he began to say, "Uh, Maya? There's something that I need to ask you, and I want you to be completely honest with your answer, okay?"

Maya paused for a second before nodding her head and retorting back, "Sure. What is it?"

"Wait here," he said to her as he ran away. A few seconds later, he ran back over to her and grabbed her hand. "Okay, here it goes," he lowly spoke sounding shy. For some reason, Maya began to blush and feel her heart beat extremely fast. It was like she knew what he was about to say to her, and she was hoping it was what she thought it was going to be.

He kneeled down on one knee, looked her in the eyes, pulled a small case from out of his pocket, opened it up, revealing a beautiful ring, and then said to her, "Maya Kitajima, will you marry me?" It was indeed what she thought; it was what she's been dying to hear for years now. It felt like the world stopped, it felt like they were the only ones here now.

Oh, how surreal and magical this felt to them both. Everyone's attention seemed to be focused on them now; nobody was talking or saying anything. Her tears began to run down her face, she never felt so happy before, she never thought something as great as this would ever happen to her, but it is, and it did.

"Yes," she whispered to him, he never seen her look as happy as she did now. He began to cry himself; his emotions were getting the best of him. He never thought someone as amazing as Maya would ever want to be his bride.

He never thought such an amazing creature would want to spend the rest of her life with him, but she did, and that made him feel so overjoyed. He then stood up and replied back very softly, "Thank you." Soon after that, he hugged her, and he hugged her tight and didn't want to ever let her go.

"I love you. I love you so much." She kept saying those words to him, as he did to her. This was a historic event! Eye-shield 21 and The Girl of 1000 Masks were going to get married soon, how awesome is that? The crowd then went crazy with applause and cheers that even the deaf could probably hear. This was an event that nobody could ever forget. Heck, even Hiruma was happy for them. This day was truly, truly wonderful, unconditionally wonderful.

Almost done with this! Y-Y-Yesh! ^_^.
