Trisha saw the other ring in the oak box and swiftly snatched it up, and took Yuki's hand, and slipped it on her finger. Her actions and teasing smile made Yuki chuckle. After the proposal was over, the two sat for a while staring at the stars with Trisha sitting in Yuki's lap. An hour had passed when one of the waiters walked over with a cake that said happy engagement on it. "I didn't order this..."

"It was called in by a certain someone. He said I hope the view is nice, even I do not get to enjoy it much." The waiter replied with a smile.

Yuki shook her head, knowing very well who he was talking about, and gladly accepted the cake. She made note to call and thank him later. After a romantic evening, Yukie and Trisha left the restaurant and headed home. Trisha kept playing with her ring the entire time while giggling and kissing it, making Yuki laugh at her antics.

When they walked through the doors of their home, Tina was up watching TV with both Anthony and Kieth sitting on each side of her. "Your back! How was it?"

"Mom, it was amazing! Yuki is the sweetest girl alive!" Trisha ran over to Tina and began telling her about the entire night. Tina giggled and laughed as she heard what happened.

Yuki saw that they were going to be a while and decided to go to the bedroom while the two chatted. She sat there in her wheelchair, looking at the ring on her finger, and smiled. "Finally, a sign of our engagement. The next step is for my legs to be healed so I can walk down the aisle with her and marry her." Just thinking of Trisha wearing a white wedding dress, saying her vows made Yuki happy. She leaned her head back and looked up at the ceiling. "Mary, are you watching? I am starting my family, and I am living a life without any regrets. I will also be going back to school soon. I will finish college and decide on the future I wish to follow from there. I will not waste the life you gave me."

"Master… " Mary knocked on the door, breaking Yuki out of her thoughts.

"Mary, is something wrong?" Yuki asked as she opened the door to the room.

"Master, I am a little confused, but after seeing you and Miss Trisha expressing your love for one another, I wondered… What is love?" Mary asked. She really did not understand the concept of love.

"Love is when you wish to always be with someone. You wish them well no matter what and would even put your life on the line for them. You miss them even if they are a room away. Love is formed in different ways as well. What I said before is more for romance. While there are forms of love that are milder and refer to your family. Like I love my mom, and I love you as well, but not in a romantic sense but in the sense of family. Does this make sense?" Yuki asked.

"I think so. I had been wondering if the way my thoughts toward Master was the same kind of love you had for Miss Trisha. But it seems it is not. Because I do not wish to do all those things you do with Miss Trisha, I more wish to protect you from all harm and wish to see you happy more than anything else. I just want my Master to always smile. I know I tease Miss Trisha a lot, but I never once thought of doing anything that would make her sad. So is my love that of family? " Mary asked. She still seemed confused, but from what Yuki was hearing, she did seem to have an understanding of her own feelings. But the fact that an A.I. was even talking about feelings was an amazing thing.

"Mmm… Your feelings are that of familial love. And it is the same way I feel about you. I hope you will be happy as well, Mary." Yuki said with a smile as she reached out and took Mary's hand. "Just know that I will always think of you as my family. So if one day you wish to stop guardian me, let me know. You can take your newfound understanding in life and explore what you truly wish to do."

"No… I want to stay by Master's side and protect you always. Only then will I be able to feel reassured that you are doing fine." Mary patted the top of Yuki's hand before smiling and giving her a hug. "Thank you, Master, for treating me, an A.I., like a normal person."

"Hehe, your silly, of course, I would. There is no way someone like you can pass as an A.I. anymore. You are a living being with a conscious. The same goes for Kieth and Bell as well and maybe Mike too, although he never talks. You all are now part of my family." Yuki patted Mary's back before breaking their embrace. "Go rest and think. You may just find something else you wish to do in your life. But then again, you have a longer life ahead of you than me."

"Maybe I will find a way for Master to become immortal. Good night, Master." Mary smiled and left the room.

Not long after, Trisha walked in. "She seemed as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders."

"You heard?" Yuki asked.

"Mmm… Mary is truly one of a kind. The others are close, but only she no longer thinks as an A.I." Trisha replied as she locked the door and began taking her dress off.

"Your right. Mary is very different. But that is also good. I am glad we went to buy them. Because I would hate to think what would have happened to her if she went elsewhere." Yuki smiled and looked over at Trisha, who was already completely naked, and chuckled. "It seems someone is ready for a night of lovemaking."

"Mmm… it is our engagement night, so I will be refraining from any Soul Fusion Online and occupying my time with making love to my beautiful, sweet, kind fiancee who I love very very much." Trisha said as she walked over and sat in Yuki's lap facing her.

"This fiancee of yours seems to be a lucky woman." Yuki teased as she kissed Trisha's lips lightly.

"That she is. So shut up and make love to me."
