The ABC's of Montessa

Disclaimer: I do not own Monty Monogram, Vanessa Doofenshmirtz or any character from Phineas and Ferb, including the series. I apologize if some chapters may be OOC, but what can I say? It's Montessa I'm doing.

Chapter 13: Marriage

"Monty... what's going on? I can't see!"

"Trust me, Vanessa... you'll see it when I tell you too."

Such commotion came from two people, who were standing among a dock in Danville Bay. To no surprise, the two people were Monty and Vanessa, who was completely blindfolded thanks to his boyfriend.

This moment felt strange. Monty was gonna ask Vanessa out on a plain old walk in the beach, but he decided to do it the other way. He decided to surprise her with a special occasion. The kind of occasion that Vanessa didn't know about.

Monty saw a small boat come across their feet. Being the savvy gentleman, Monty got in the boat. Now, if only he would grab Vanessa without making her fall into the water.

"Okay, Vanessa... grab onto my hands. Whatever you do, be careful." Monty said in concern.

"Got it." Vanessa nodded.

Blushing at the fact that she was feeling Monty's warm enticing hands, Vanessa carefully stepped onto the boat. They carefully sat down while Vanessa felt her seat rock a bit. Must be the waves that caused it.

"Whoa..." Vanessa said, feeling the rocking sensation of the boat.

"Don't worry, Vanessa. You'll open that blindfold of yours soon enough." Monty smiled at her.

The boat took of smoothly like a soft rock song. It had that laid-back feeling, the care-free wind blowing all across Vanessa's hair. She felt a little bothered by the way the boat was rocking, but she didn't care anymore. All she could feel was the grip of Monty's hand.

"Can I open my blindfold, now? I look like a blind hobo." Vanessa said in boredom. Monty replied with laughter as a result.

"Sure Vanessa, you can open your blindfold now."

Following Monty's command, Vanessa took her blindfold off...

...only to realize that she was looking at the most romantic fireworks she had ever seen. To add in a surprise, she was riding in a boat alongside her secret boyfriend.

There were nothing but red fireworks blasting all throughout the sky. It was almost like watching an animated fairy tale movie come to life. Even though Vanessa didn't look like a fairy tale princess due to the clothing she wore, she was a princess in Monty's heart.

"Wow, Monty..." she said in a speechless tone, "This is incredible."

"Believe you me, you might wanna keep watching. I managed to work in a few notches."

Following Monty's advice, Vanessa kept on watching the fireworks. It was more fun than having to watch paint dry in Vanessa's case.

"Nothing's happening, Monty..." she spoke impatiently.

"Keep watching..." Monty said in anticipation.

And then finally, one particular purple firework came off, reading the words 'Vanessa, look down'. Vanessa looked a little boggled. Was this the surprise that Monty gave to her? It didn't seem like a special occasion anymore. It felt like a disaster.

"Okay, Monty..." Vanessa groaned, "Why on earth do you want me to look-"

Vanessa never finished that sentence. When she looked down, she gasped at an amazing sight...

...

...

...the sight of an engagement ring sleeping around in a little black box. Vanessa looked a little shocked, and yet she was touched on the inside. So far, Monty's little plan wasn't a disaster, it was a breath-taking success.

"Oh my god..." Vanessa blushed, "Is this what I think it is...?"

Monty didn't need to say anything. He held Vanessa's hands with his own and even though he didn't go down on one knee since they were in a boat, he hardly mattered. All he wanted to do was pop the question.

"Vanessa, after all the troubles we've been through, you made it possible for us to survive." Monty said in a promising speech, "I know our dads may hate each other, but I don't care about that. I only want to share moments like this with you for as long as I can. And I want to share this moment forever."

"What are you trying to say?" Vanessa responded, almost losing her voice.

"Vanessa Doofenshmirtz..." Monty paused a bit, and then popping that all important question, "Will you do me the honor of being my wife?"

Vanessa could feel her heart pouring out with tears. It was the tears of joy she was crying. She would have talked a full sentence, but due to the crying, she couldn't. Yet, she didn't care one bit if she was crying. She wanted to give Monty her answer.

"Yes Monty, I will marry you!" she answered.

In delight, she started hugging her boyfriend tightly around the neck. Vanessa felt like the most happiest woman in the world, even though she didn't look like one due to her clothing. But on the inside, she was happy that Monty did something unforgettable for her.

"You're definitely full of surprises..." Vanessa whispered to him.

"I definitely am, Vanessa..." Monty whispered back, "I definitely am..."

As the fireworks kept on sparkling, Vanessa kept hugging her boyfriend for the rest of the night, thanks to his little romantic stunt. From this moment on and in secret...

...she was now known as Vanessa Doofenshmirtz-Monogram.

Well, this was a nice place for an engagement. Somewhere out to sea where fireworks are playing. Sure it sounds a little cliche, but nevertheless, it's darned romantic.

Next up for the "ABCs of Montessa" will be the letter "N". What shall I think of for letter "N"? Stay tuned and find out. (;D)
