Maya pulls out her phone to take a video as the plane starts to take off, she couldn't believe her and Josh were on the way to Australia.

"This is crazy, I can't believe this" Maya smiles as she turns to face Josh, the only other passenger on this plane, except the pilot of course.

"I don't get it" Josh laughs, "We travel all the time, constantly on private planes, yet you're so excited to film this take off"

"Because this take off, means Australia is our next stop" Maya sighs, "This trip is going to be perfect"

Little does Maya know, this trip will be even more perfect than she could imagine.

"What's the first few things on your Australia bucket list?" Josh asks, picking up a water bottle

"I wanna go to the Australia Zoo and maybe have dinner on the beach" She smiles

"Well, looks like our first full day in Australia will include a zoo and beach dinner" He smiles

"What about you?" She asks, "What's on your Australia bucket list?"

"Mine's not specifically for Australia, it could happen anywhere but it'd be cool if it happened here" Josh shrugs, "I really hope it does"

"Well, what is it?" She laughs

"Can't say, don't wanna jinx it" He winks

Finally Maya and Josh arrive at the zoo, the pair enjoy their night and walk around until they reach the final animal, the giraffe.

"Why are they so tall?" Maya says looking up at the animal

"Go up there and ask him" Josh laughs, pointing to the stairs

Maya climbs them and becomes almost eye level with the animal, "Excuse me, Mr. Giraffe, why are you so tall?"

Josh just laughs at his perfect girlfriend. They enjoy the last few hours at the zoo then head to their hotel to get ready for their beach dinner.

Maya ends up wearing a really pretty light purple romper with white sandals to go with it

"You look absolutely stunning" Josh says as he walks out of the hotel bathroom

"You don't look too bad yourself, handsome" She laughs, he pulls her in for a quick peck

Once the pair arrives at the beach, they're met with a table with a white table cloth draped over it, a few candles on the table and multiple candles surrounding the area so they can still see if the sun sets before they finish

"Josh, this is beautiful" Maya gasps, grabbing his hand, Josh smiles and looks back at Maya, "Only the best for the best"

They sat at the table and enjoyed some small talk about the off-season and what their plans for when they got back would be

"We could maybe meet up with some of the guys and their girlfriends or something?" Maya offered

"Yeah.. that sounds fun" Josh kinda mumbles, he hasn't been able to focus all night because he's so nervous about asking Maya

"Josh, are you okay?" She notices

"Yeah, I'm just not hungry anymore.. let's go for a walk?" He offers, Maya nods as they stand up and head the opposite direction of their table

After about five minutes, Josh stops and stares at Maya, "What are you doing?" She asks

"Maya, I love you so much, and I can't imagine my life without you in it. you've been here since before my career.. you've been through all the slumps, all the hard times.. and especially, all the best times. I want to make more memories with you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you" Josh says, pulling the box out of his pocket and goes down to his knee

Maya can't believe it, "Josh.. of course" She cries, "This was on your Australia bucket list?"

"This was my whole Australia bucket list" He smiles

"I love you so much"

"I love you more"
