Everyone knew that Honey Lemon pumped extremely loud music through her earbuds while she was working. It was a little known fact that GoGo did the same, as well. At first, she was against listening to music while working, since lyrics interrupted her train of thought.
That was before Hiro introduced her to electronic dance music, though. "Just try it," he had said, offering the right earbud. "No lyrics. Well, maybe just a few lines. But not every song has 'em. Come on, I know you'll get hooked."
The electronic beats had GoGo bobbing her head while she was working, and she unconsciously shook her hips a little when the beat dropped. Of course, Tadashi thought it was incredibly cute, and never teased her about it - mainly because he knew she'd stop doing it if he said a word.
But among all of the DJs she had taken a liking to, there was one DJ that had her instantly obsessed, and that was DJ Polaris. Besides the fact that DJ Polaris was a girl, she was one of those DJs that didn't inject lyrics into their songs.
So when news came out that DJ Polaris was going to play at Club Eterna in San Fransokyo, GoGo, despite not being a party girl at all, had to go.
And of course, GoGo had a loving, supporting boyfriend who was able to snag VIP passes to the club.

Tadashi paused in the middle of his ramblings, waiting to see if Hiro had anything negative to say about this plan.
Hiro narrowed his eyes. "Why'd you stop?"
"Oh, I don't know," Tadashi replied warily. "Just making sure you're not finding any loopholes in Plan C."
"Nope." Hiro said. "At least, not yet."
The older Hamada sighed. "Way to be encouraging."
"In all fairness, I actually like this plan, compared to the first two. Her favorite DJ, a concert, and you're going to propose in front of all those people, aren't you?"
Tadashi smiled. "Now, now, let me finish."
(*)
"And here I was, thinking you're not much of a dancer," Tadashi commented, as the two of them approached Club Eterna.
GoGo snorted. "Please. Like I haven't noticed you staring at my ass while I'm working." Tadashi slowly turned a shade of scarlet. "Oh, Hamada. It's okay to be a young adult," she teased, standing up on her tiptoes to give him a peck on the cheek.
After a near fiasco with a bouncer who thought GoGo was underage, they finally stepped inside. Red and purple lights flashed dully as the opening DJ played a few beats on his turntable. GoGo didn't know anyone here, which was a relief for her. Despite dancing a bit while she was working, she didn't exactly want to turn into a party animal in front of people she knew (besides her boyfriend, of course).
It would be bad for her reputation.
"Thirsty?"
Her eyebrows rose in surprise as she turned to see Tadashi offering her a glass of something unfamiliar. "What's this?"
He shrugged. "Some alcoholic mix... Don't worry, I'm not trying to drug you."
"Never took you for the drinker," she murmured appreciatively, taking the glass in her hand, looking at it warily.
Tadashi smirked. "You learn a few things, hanging out with Hiro. Cheers?" She clinked her glass against his, and downed whatever was in the glass. She shuddered. "That was awful."
Before Tadashi could retort, the lights dimmed, and she clutched at his elbow excitedly. "Come on, let's go to the front!"
"Ladies and Gents. EDM Fans of all ages - hopefully legal ages. I know you're here for one DJ, and one DJ only, one of the brightest stars in the universe! Give it up for... DJ Polaaaaaaaaaaris!"
The lights suddenly shone at center stage, focusing on a girl with vibrant, neon-pink hair, and a white headset.
At the sight of seeing her favorite DJ live, GoGo lost herself. "Come on, Hamada!" she smiled up at him, and dragged him to the middle of the dance floor. Tadashi couldn't help but smile as GoGo raised her arms above her head and started dancing. She had an easy smile on her face, eyes half closed, and she was a surprisingly good dancer.
He could only count on two hands the number of times he had seen his girlfriend like this; carefree, loose and happy. She was so uptight sometimes, and he knew that first hand. How many times had he offered to give her a massage after sensing her stiff muscles? He just shook his head, and started bouncing up and down to the beat.

"I'm gonna start sleeping if you don't get your head out of your sappy dreams and get on with the actual proposal," Hiro drawled.
Tadashi made a face.
(*)
"Excuse me for a second. Bathroom. You'll be okay?" He mouthed the words while making distinct hand gestures.
She nodded in response, making the universal 'I'll be fine' gesture.
Tadashi quickly made his way through the crowd, ignoring the fast beating of his heart.
Meanwhile, GoGo was enjoying the concert. She had lost track of how many tracks she and Tadashi had danced to, not to mention the few he had missed because he went to the bathroom. It positively enthralled her; she rarely had the time to let loose, and she was thoroughly enjoying herself.
"Is everyone having a good evening?" Polaris yelled. GoGo joined in the crowd as they screamed in reply. Polaris grinned. "Good to hear! Hey, listen. Before I get started with my next song, I'd like to introduce you to a friend of mine!"
The crowd buzzed with excitement. Was this going to be another DJ?
"I don't wanna spoil anything for ya, so I'll just bring him out here! Give it up for mi amigo, Tadashi!"
"Wait, what?" GoGo hissed, as her boyfriend showed up on stage.
"Hi," he said, and smiled at the crowd.
A confused hum echoed across the room, which suddenly died down to a silence that you could hear a pin drop in.
"I'm Tadashi, and... Wow, there's a lot of people of you down there."
GoGo threw her face into her hands. What in the world was he doing?!
"I messaged DJ Polaris a few weeks ago, and asked a teeny, tiny favor of her. It's not gonna take ten minutes of your time, so, please bear with me. Thank you!" He paused, as if catching his breath. "So... I'm here tonight with my beautiful girlfriend, GoGo." He pointed towards GoGo until all the lights were focused on her, and she squinted. "Yep, that's her. Anyway, she just loves Polaris, and I thought, I wonder if it would be the right thing if I ask her a very important question - GoGo, not Polaris, in front of her idol?"
He got down from the stage, still holding a microphone. GoGo's eyes widened slightly, and she looked at him. "What are you doing?" Her eyes flashed towards Polaris, who had a small, happy smile on her face.
"GoGo. I had the pleasure of seeing you happy, really, happy tonight... And when I see a smile like that on your face, I always thing, 'Damn, I need that smile on her face for the rest of her life.' But I never thought much about it until that sentence turned into, 'Damn, I need her. For the rest of my life."
Her mouth opened in a perfect circle. Tadashi just kept on smiling at her, as the crowd around her thinned out, and gave him enough room to reach her, until he was about a foot in front of her. "Ha... Hamada... What are you..."
"It's obvious, isn't it?" Tadashi's smile widened, if that was possible, and then he knelt down on one knee. "Would you please do me the honor of being my wife?"

Hiro stared thoughtfully at the piece of paper, while Tadashi looked on nervously. The younger Hamada then folded it neatly in half and placed it in the 'Maybe' pile.
"Yessss!" Tadashi cheered, pumping his fist in the air.
"It's only in the 'maybe' pile because even though it's a good plan, there's only the slim chance of you becoming friends with Polaris... But I applaud your effort. What's next?"
Tadashi felt rejuvenated - maybe he actually had a chance at proposing to GoGo the right way.
"D is for doughnuts."
(*)
So I finally got Tadashi to say a proposal speech. D'awwww. Don't worry, folks, the speeches (when there actually are any) are going to vary, so don't expect Tadashi to reuse, reduce and recycle. /coughs
I am enjoying these headcanons of the future AU - GoGo working on other vehicles, Hiro growing taller than Tadashi, Tadashi actually learning the difference between alcoholic drinks, Baymax getting more chips... The possibilities are endless! Stay tuned for more.
Thanks as always for the support and reviews - you always put a smile on my face!
Don't forget to request prompts for alphabets - I already have an idea for 'E'. You know who you are :)
