~Valley going to get the Boys~
"Guys! C'mon up!" Valley yelled from the stairs down to them. "Are you sure?" Brian cautiously asked. "Yes, Bri! She's sure!" Nick said running up the stairs two at a time. "Nicky, she's on the balcony...go talk to her. She is upset about leaving all the memories, you two shared out there, behind." Valley said as Nick made it to the apartment. "Okay...Thanks Val." Nick said as he made it to the balcony and slid the door open. "Do you think she'll say yes to him?" Brian said as he wrapped his arms around Val. "I think so...or at least I hope so." Valerie sighed as her and Brian watched Melly and Nick talk.
~Melly and Nick~
"Sweetie? You alright?" Nick whispered. Melly turned around and Nick could see that she had been crying. "Don't cry...come here." Nick said with his arms open. He wrapped her up so tight. "You don't have to..." Melly interrupted him. "Yes." She whispered in his ear. Nick pulled away and looked at her, "Yes? as in Yes, you'll marry me?" Nick nervously asked. "Yes, I'll marry you." Melly laughed. "You've just made me the happiest man alive right now...I love you." Nick said as he began to kiss her. "I love you too." Melly said as they broke their kiss, "But we better go pack right now! I wanna move in to my new house!" Melly said as she went to open the door. "Wait a second..." Nick stopped her. "What's the matter?" Melly asked. "I didn't give you this yet." Nick said as he pulled out a little black box. "Oh, Nicky, I'm gonna cry again." Melly sobbed as she opened the box and there sat and huge diamond ring, "It's beautiful." "Here, let me put it on you." Nick said as she grabbed Melissa's shaking hand and placed on her ring finger. "You've been thinking about this for awhile?" Melly said as she looked at the ring. "Yeah, I didn't tell anyone, I went out one day on the last tour and bought the ring then. I was waiting for the right moment but it just came out back there. Sorry." Nick smiled. "Don't be sorry. Atleast we will have it on tape to show our family." Melly laughed. "Not exactly...I kinda smashed the camera on the ground when you ran upstairs." Nick smirked. "Oh Nick...what am I gonna do with you?!" Melly laughed, "C'mon let's go tell Brian and Valerie."
~Inside the Apartment~
"So, should we be smiling or frowning?" Brian asked. "You should be smiling like you've never smiled before, buddy. You're looking at the future, Mr. & Mrs. Nick Carter." Nick yelled. "Aww, I'm so happy for you!" Valerie said hugging Melissa and pulling her to sit on the couch, "We got so much to plan! Like your dress, the flowers, the guests....and holy shit! Look at your ring!" "You like it?" Melly laughed. "Yeah, it's beautiful...Good job Nicky." Valerie said to him. "Thanks, it's all in a day's work." Nick sarcastically said as he sat down next to Melly and put his feet up on the coffee table. "We may be moving...but get your feet off my coffee table!" Val ordered. "Yes, Ma'am!" Nick said. "Okay, you guys should be packing!" Brian yelled. "Oh yeah! Let's go!" Valley said as she pushed Melly towards their rooms. The girls and guys spent about 4 hours packing up all the girl's clothes and personal belongings before calling it a night. "What do you say we take what we have to the houses and come back tomorrow for whatever you forgot?" Brian yawned. "Sounds fine to me. I wanna take my fiancée home anyway to get settle in our house." Nick said picking Melly up. "Like you two are gonna do any unpacking tonight!" Valley laughed. "And what...we are gonna unpack?" Brian asked as her. "Yes & No. We can take a break in between to play." Valley smirked at him. The couples loaded Brian's jeep and headed to Nick's house first to unload all of Melly's stuff.
~Nick's House~
"My God, I think I am going to have to build another closet." Nick joked as he carried Melly's last bag in his house. "Women, Nicky boy, they always buy more than they need." Brian said in a fatherly voice. Both boys stood there laughing. "Alright, we better go unload my stuff at Brian's." Val said, "But I'll call you in the morning, so we can go wedding shopping and stuff, Ok?" "Okay, sounds good. I can't wait!" Melly smiled. "See'ya man." Brian said as he and Valerie left. "You really gonna shopping for the wedding already?" Nick asked as he pulled her in a hug. "Yeah, Val is really excited and there is alot to do. My Mom and your mom are gonna wanna help too." Melly said resting her head on his chest. "How about we skip all the planning and elope tonight?" Nick said as Melly picked up her head and looked at him. "Are you serious?" Melly said in shock, "What about our families and friends?" "They'll understand...eventually. We can have a small ceremony for them later. But I want you to be my wife tonight. We can fly to Las Vegas, get married, and be back by mid-afternoon tomorrow....what do you say?" Nick stared into Melly's eyes as she opened her mouth to say her answer.
