(Later that evening . . .)

Rayla: *Running down steps. Runs into Ezran* Oh! Sorry, Ezran.

Ezran: You're fine. Are you meeting Callum?

Rayla: Yep. This time he asked me to meet him in the woods which I thought odd. He's terrified of the woods at night so I'm tryin' to make it the best experience for him. I love the woods though. It reminds me of home.

Ezran: Ooooh, Callum. I'm proud of you. Well you guys have fun.

Rayla: Will do. *runs down the steps to Forest were Callum is waiting.*

Rayla: Callum, you combed you're hair.

Callum: Uh, yeah. Special occasion.

Rayla: But we're in the woods.

Callum: I never said I expected it to stay combed.

Rayla: Fair enough. *darts up tree* I don't come out here NEARLY enough. *swings from branch and hits ground with soft thud*

Callum: How do you do that so quickly?

Rayla: You just- (darts up tree again)

Callum: I don't think I can do that.

Rayla: *laughs* Have you ever climbed a tree before?

Callum: I think Soren got me to do it once but the first branch I grabbed snapped and I fell and broke my arm.

Rayla: In that case, here, I'll help you. *holds out hand*

Callum: *grabs it and hoists himself up. Sits next to her.*

Rayla: I love this time of day. It's so perfect.

Callum: *looks at her. Dosen't drop gaze*

Rayla: *after a few seconds sees he's looking at her* Callum . . .

Callum: *hastily looks away and blushes* Sorry, sorry.

Rayla: What?

Callum: Nothing. I just-I

Rayla & Callum: *both go back to staring at the sunset*

Callum: *fiddles with the ring in his pocket. And say abruptly* Rayla?

Rayla: *turns to face him* Yeah?

Callum: *pulls out ring for her to see* Rayla, I, I mean you, Will you, um, so-

Rayla: *smiles and holds out hand for ring*

Callum: But I haven't asked- *Rayla motions for ring* *Callum gives it to her*

Rayla: *holds it up* Callum, I've known you for nearly 4 years and they have been the most magical times of my life. Any time I see you, I light up. Any time I think about you, I can't think about anything else. You are my everything. Will you, Callum, Prince of Katolis, marry me?

Callum: Yes!

Rayla: *smiles and hands him ring* You're turn.

Callum: *blushes* Rayla, I-I don't know what I would do without you. If there's ever the slightest chance of loosing you, I freak out. You make me so, SO, happy and I've been waiting for someone like you my entire life. And I-I love you. I love you more than anything else in the entire world. I want you to be there for everything and every moment in my life to come. Will you, Rayla marry me?

Rayla: *grins* Yes.

Callum: *slips ring onto her finger*

Rayla: *leans forward*

Callum: *leans forward as well and kisses her back*

(Whoops come from Castle. Claudia, Ezran and Soren are watching them from the balcony of Ez's bedroom)

Claudia & Ezran: WHOOOO-HOOOO!

Soren: *looks like he's about to burst because of the 'mushy romance'*

Ezran: Why aren't you screaming stop?

Soren: I am containing myself on the special occasion of a proposal.

. . .

Ezran: You can go inside.

Soren: Thank you. *speed walks inside*

(Claudia and Ezran continue cheering)

Callum: *looks up* Oh my gosh. EZ! GO AWAY!

Ez: NUUUUUU!

Callum: YES!

Rayla: Ignore them.

Callum: But they're screaming.

Rayla: Lets go inside then.

Callum: *squeezes her hand* Deal. My FIANCE.

Rayla: You're going to abuse that term to the death, aren't you.

Callum: You bet I am. *kisses her hand*
