Ryker smiled slightly as he watched the stars shoot through the sky. As she walked away slightly he walked forward and took her hand. "I can tell I didn't plan this well enough, but here goes nothing. I think I might've said this before, but I might have short term memory loss soo... I love you so much Abby. You brighten my day, make everything better, and are totally my reason to get up in the morning. You are sweet, beautiful, kind and strong. I could never imagine living the rest of my life without you." He slowly sank onto one knee in the glimmering light of the moon and stars with the scent of horses in the background, then he pulled out a ring box and slowly opened it. "Will you marry me?"

(BET YOU DIDNT SEE THAT COMING)

YAYYYYYY AND NO I DIDNT!)

Abby smiled when his hand touched hers. She blushed and blushed until her entire face was a soft pink. When he knelt to the ground, a tear fell down her cheek. Her hands flew to her mouth as he spoke. "Yes!" She squealed as her body flew down to meet his. Her arms flew around him in a crushing hug. "Another disappearance I'm guessing..?" She asked. Her smile was audible as she spoke. She pulled back to look at his face. "I love you too Ryker. Always and forever"

(I've read enough books to make anything dramatic xD)

Ryker really couldn't tell at first if the tear was a GOOD or BAD sign and even though he guessed it was a good sign he was still terrified she'd laugh at him and say no. So when that one precious word came his face lit up like the fourth of July. He let out a half-squeak half laugh of happiness as she hugged him, wrapping his arms around her and squeezing her tightly back. "I'm the king of disappearing for amazing reasons." He whispered happily, his eyes glimmering. "Always and forever." He repeated, bring her up with him as he stood and kissing her- although honestly it was hard to stop grinning long enough.

Lol yeah! Trust me. I CAN be the queen of drama. I just have to get there first and I'm toooooo impatient to wait when things get good)

Abby giggled when he lifted her up. She kissed him back, putting her toes back on the ground because she was too short to reach him. "Ack. Stupid shortness" she mumbled between kisses. She smiled at him when she pulled away slightly. She needed precious oxygen although she felt like she could go on forever. She loved him so much. She felt like she always needed to prove it. Her face fell slightly but as her mind started to fill with happy memories and even start to imagine what their future would look like, her face shined again. "Oh Ryker! You never cease to surprise me! "

(I don't doubt that in the least lol)

Ryker reminded himself he had to breathe someday, but he didn't want to. He just wanted to sink into the bliss of no worries, and cherish this moment forever. Freeze it in ice, and never leave. Soooo that's why Abby pulled away first, because she was smarter than him. His brain was more like +Yes you need oxygen to live... BUT WHO CAAARES+ At her mumble Ryker couldn't help but chuckle slightly. "If it helps, you're not that short. I'm just too tall." He responded with a grin as she smiled, his eyes sparkling happily. He really hadn't thought he could do that, though. He was pretty sure he was going to have a mental breakdown, but he hadn't, and now they were here. Abby had said yes. She had said YESS! As is YESSSS! Like she actually wanted to be with him! +Till death do we part+ he thought with a slightly evil smirk, though he couldn't keep it long. +FOREVER WITH ABBY FOREVER YAAAY+ his brain chanted, which in turn made him scold himself for being so childish, which honestly didn't make any sense cause why would a brain tell itself to stop? But it didn't matter. At her words he was drawn back to reality. "I never cease to surprise anyone." He laughed.

She giggled at his comment. "True" she stated. "This moment is missing one thing though" she winked as she peeled herself off of him. "Be right back!" She yelled as she maneuvered over the rocks to the barn. "Ouch ow ow ouch yikes " she grunted the whole way back into the barn. Abby opened the doors to Sun and Shadow and Serpant, letting them roam free. Sun followed her back to Ryker, Shadow right at her tail. "Got it! Now catch before I break a foot" she flung herself at him, hoping he would catch her

Ryker slowly arched an eyebrow at her statement, muffling a snort as she stepped on rocks all the way to the barn, then releasing the horses. "You do realize the barn yard isn't fenced in, right?" Ryker asked with a slight smile, knowing Sun and Serpant wouldn't leave and Shadow would stick with his mom. Ryker's eyes widened slightly as Abby practically threw herself at him and told him to CATCH her. "I'm not superman! Or the hulk! I can't just catch you whenever you do anything!" He protested quickly before taking a step forward so she didn't fall short and hit the ground. He did manage to not let her topple to the earth, with not too much of a problem.

(I got to get to sleep, I'll answer in the morning!)

(Ok. I'll go ahead and send this one. Night!)

Abby laughed at him "I know. And I know. And I know" she melted into his arms "but my feetsies are injured!" She lifted her foot then picked off a rock that was stuck to her foot. "See!" She stood, pet her arms around him, then stood back on his feet. "I guess your feet are going to save mine then" she said.

Ryker looked at her feet with a snort. "That's why most people wear these miraculous things called shoes. They protect your *feetsies*" He made a face just saying the word. Painful. Still, he pulled off the whole 'sarcastic comment' thing perfectly. "We could aaaalllsssooo figure out where we are sleeping. Can't we just bring a couple blankets to the hay loft of the barn and pass out there?" He inquired. Sounded fine to him.

Abby rolled her eyes "I guess so" she said. "How comfortable would it be though?" She eyed him with a smile "because you know me and I have used you as a pillow a few times lately" she grinned. "Ok. Beat you there!" She said as she launched herself off of her feet "oh wait -ow- never- owewww- mind!" she cried as she stepped into the grass "I also probably shouldn't run in my dress..."
