A/N: Yay next chapter! Man, you guys won't believe this- I haven't been to school for ten days! This snow is getting out of hand. Not that I'm complaining of course, more time to write! Also, shoutout it TURTLES2001 because she finally finished the whole "Good Match" series. If you haven't gone and read it, really go give it a read. It's Team Keefe, but it's still really good. Anyway, I posted a picture of the ring Fitz used to propose to Sophie, which is actually a really pretty ring that my mom bought me for my birthday. I just felt like it would be the perfect one. Anyway, here's the long awaited chapter!

Fitz took a deep breath and said the last words. "I love you. Will you make me the happiest guy in the world and... Marry me?"

It took Sophie a few moments to process what was going on, but when she did, it shocked her.

Fitz Vacker was proposing to her.

In the museum where he first found her.

And he was waiting for her to say yes.

She smiled as she said the words she knew were inevitable. "Yes."

Fitz's eyes lit up. "Really? You will?"

Sophie laughed. "Yes, Fitz. I'll marry you."

Just as the words left her mouth, he whooped and wrapped his arms around her, hugging her so tightly that he lifted her off the floor. After he set her down, he slipped the beautiful ring onto her finger.

In the center was a perfectly cut stone that was the most beautiful shade of teal she had ever seen, the color of his eyes. The stone was set on a ring of diamonds spiraling into the silver band.

"Fitz, it's beautiful," she whispered, twisting the ring on her finger. She looked around, remembering once again that they were in the human world. "But, come on we have to go stop the rebels."

Fitz grinned. "Sophie, there's no wedding and the rebels don't exist," he revealed. "Dad, Mom, and Biana helped me set the whole thing up so I could propose to you."

Sophie's jaw dropped. "But the crystal... And the outfits..."

"I persuaded the Council to give me a temporary leaping crystal," he explained. "It's also how I got the outfits."

"You did all this just to propose to me?" Sophie marveled. "That's the sweetest thing anyone's ever done for me."

Fitz smiled. "Well, I figured that if our story began here, we should also have our happy ending here," he reasoned. "Besides, elves don't really do big proposals so it's more appropriate to do in the human world anyway."

Sophie's eyes widened as she realized how huge this proposal truly was. She took a deep breath, remembering her promise to him in Telepathy not long ago. "You were my number one," she told him. "And my secret was that I had a crush on you pretty much since I met you."

Fitz smile grew, but he didn't reply. Instead, he wrapped his arms around Sophie and leaned in for a kiss.

"I love you," he breathed when they broke apart.

Sophie stared into his incredibly teal eyes, the first eyes she had ever truly seen of an elf. "I love you too."

*~*~*~*

"Did he do it? Did he do it?" Biana asked as Sophie stepped through the gates to Everglen.

Sophie pretended to look confused as she replied, "Do what?"

Biana turned to her brother. "I thought you were going to..." Her voice trailed off as she spotted Sophie's ring. "You liar!" she exclaimed, hugging Sophie. "Congratulations!"

Sophie smiled. "Thank you." Just as she was about to follow Biana inside, Della appeared beside her. Even after so many years, Sophie still jumped at the sight of surprising vanishing.

"Sorry," Della apologized, her eyes on Sophie's ring. "Congratulations. Welcome to the family."

Sophie's face turned as red as her dress when she realized what this mean, what marrying Fitz meant. She would be....

"Sophie Vacker," Fitz said, grinning. "Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?"

Sophie buried her face in her hands. "I don't... I can't... That's way too hard to believe," she marveled.

Biana laughed. "You'll get used to it," she assured. "Besides, it's not like you can get anymore famous."

"Good point," Alden agreed, walking in. "I can just see the headlines... 'War Heroine Sophie Foster and her Cognate Sidekick Fitz Vacker Get Married'!"

Fitz frowned as Biana stifled a laugh. "I'm not a sidekick."

Sophie lightly punched his shoulder, "You keep telling yourself that."

Fitz rolled his eyes. "Moving on," he began. "I wonder if our kids will have brown eyes."

"KIDS?!"

*~*~*~*

"Fitz really gave you a shock talking about kids, huh?" Biana asked.

Sophie shook her head. "We aren't even married yet. Besides, I'm only sixteen."

Biana shrugged. "So are you going to marry him soon or wait until you finish the elite levels."

"Wait until I finish the elite levels," Sophie said. "I'm not getting married at sixteen!"

Biana laughed. "Well Fitz is eighteen, but it's still pretty early," she agreed. "When he was sixteen..."

"We were still fighting the Neverseen," Sophie remembered. "It seems like so long ago."

"It was only two years ago," Biana argued. She stood up and brought a scroll from her desk. "Oh yeah I have to show you my matchmaking list."

Top Tiers for Biana Bella Vacker
1. Keefe Sencen
2. Tam Song

"Keefe and Tam are your number one and two?" Sophie asked, her eyes wide. Then, she smiled. "Oh that's going to be interesting."

Biana laughed. "I know right? Especially with Dex as my number seven."

She was right, he was her number seven, four spots above...

"Jensi?!"

Biana scrunched her nose. "Yeah. He's number eleven."

"Wow that's some list," Sophie muttered, scanning to see if there were any other names she recognized. There weren't.

Biana rolled up her scroll and placed it back on the desk. "Anyway," she said. "Who was on your list?"

"I actually don't remember," Sophie admitted, when a thought struck her. She had brought her matchmaking scroll with her when she came back from changing out of the human dress. "I have the scroll with me."

She pulled it out, tracing her finger over the words she had read a dozen times.

Top Tiers for Sophie Elizabeth Foster
1. Fitz Vacker

Biana grinned. "I think I figured that one out," she joked. "Although seeing it on the paper makes it feel more real."

Sophie laughed. "I know right?" She pointed to the next name she recognized. "I didn't see this one coming, though."

5. Keefe Sencen

"I think we all saw it coming," Biana disagreed, her eyes on Sophie's necklace. Shaking her head, Sophie went on.

17. Tam Song

"Wow," Biana murmured. "I definitely don't think I saw that coming."

25. Jensi Babblos

"Or that," Sophie agree, still looking down the list. And finally...

34. Dex Dizznee

"Seriously?" Biana asked. "Why is he so low on your list? He was pretty much your first friend in the Lost Cities."

Sophie shrugged. "I was wondering that too, but I think it's just because of Edaline and his family, you know?"

Biana nodded. "So when's the wedding?"

"Oh don't even get me started," Sophie murmured, putting her face in her hands. She'd had enough drama for one day... The wedding would be for another.
