Another year went by and everything was back to normal. Koltor had reached the age of 20. He is now a full blown adult. He and Vetza are still together. She was 19, only a year younger than him. He loved her a lot. He and Vetza were just like Elara and Zarkon when they were young. After a long talk with Ulaz, he was given permission to ask for Vetza's hand in marriage... and yes Koltor fought Ulaz, it was scary but he succeeded. All Koltor needed was advice from his mother and father.

He sat in the lounge room with both of his parents. Zarkon and Elara always knew that Koltor and Vetza would have a future together.

"I need help. I'm lost." Koltor huffed.

"Well my first piece of motherly advice is to not listen to a word that comes out of his mouth." Elara said, pointing to Zarkon.

"What? Why not? My proposal to you was flawless." Zarkon scoffed, clearly offended.

"Do I need to tell him about the centipede incident?" Elara asked, arching a brow and crossing her arms.

"Son, listen to your mother." Zarkon said, turning to Koltor.

"I wasn't going to listen to you anyway." Koltor said before turning to his mother.

"Ok..." Zarkon muttered with a painful smile.

"Hush Zarkon this isn't about you. Anyway, you need to catch her by surprise. Don't drop any hints. Make sure the scenery is flawless." Elara said.

"Where did father propose to you?" Koltor asked curiously.

"An early morning in my bedroom." Elara replied.

"That's sad." Koltor scoffed.

"Hey! I did what I could! She woke up with a beautiful necklace around her neck!" Zarkon snapped.

"That's it?" Koltor asked.

"It's a long story that I'm not even going to get into." Elara said.

"Anyway! I'm trying to get a woman for life here!" Koltor snapped.

"What's her favorite color?" Elara asked.

"Blue." Koltor replied without hesitation.

"Shade?" Elara asked again.

"Sapphire." Koltor answered easily.

"Favorite food?" Zarkon asked.

"Cosmic vulture." Koltor answered.

"Favorite planet?" Zarkon asked.

"Daibazaal." Koltor said.

"Favorite song?" Elara asked.

"The Night We Met." Koltor answered.

"You're ready." Zarkon and Elara said in unison.

The next day-

"I'm too tired for this today..." Vetza sighed to herself as she headed to the outdoor canyons since Koltor asked her to meet him there.

The moment she got outside, her eyes widened in shock and awe. The sunset was gorgeous and Koltor stood there looking her in his formal armor.

"Koltor... What are you doing?" She asked nervously, now standing right in front of him.

"You'll see soon enough if you let me talk." Koltor chuckled.

"Well... I'll shut up now." She said nervously.

"Good.... Now, you Vetza are undoubtedly the most caring, beautiful, and gracious woman I've ever met. I would literally be miserable without you in my life Vetza. I need to stay with me. That is why I'm asking you what I'm asking today" Koltor said and the got down on one knee.

"Koltor... This isn't a joke right?" She asked, not believing this was actually happening to her.

"No it's not... Now will you, Vetza, marry me and keep me sane for the rest of my life?" Koltor finally asked.

Vetza was taken aback by Koltor pulling out the most beautiful sapphire ring she had ever seen.

"Of course I will!" She squealed in pure joy.

Koltor slipped the ring onto her left ring finger and smooched his new fiance. After she sobbed in pure joy, they returned to the palace to see Zarkon, Elara, and Ulaz standing there, anxiously waiting.

"Well? Am I gonna have a daughter-in-law or not?" Elara asked.

"You are." Vetza said with a smile.

In mere seconds Elara was hysterically crying tears of joy. Koltor and Vetza stared at her with wide eyes.

"She's fragile, just give her a couple... hours." Zarkon said as he hugged his sobbing wife and rubbed her back to calm her down somehow.

"Our little boy is a man now! I can't help it!" Elara squealed as she cried harder.

"Mother... You'll be fine. It's not like I'm leaving or anything."  Koltor said his mother.

"We should give her time to take it all in right?" Vetza suggested.

"Yeah." Koltor answered.

The new affiance couple were congratulated by the entire family and for that entire day Elara was a crying, sobbing mess.
