It was evening and Barley was up on the rooftop listening to music. Then, he felt a tap on his shoulder which startled him. "Hey Barley." It was Elsa. "Elsa! You're okay!" Barley said and hugged her. Barley motioned her to come sit with him and watch the sunset. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" Elsa asked. "Not as beautiful as you," Barley told Elsa as Elsa giggled. Elsa sighed, "Barley, I wanted to thank you for saving me, you are truly a hero," Elsa smiled. Barley thought for a moment. "What about Leo?" Barley asked. "He told me what happened and I forgave him," Elsa said as Barley nodded. There was a long pause. "Oh I got you a gift!" Elsa said as she swirled up a Slurpee with Barley's favorite flavor and a mini ice statue of Barley as a mighty warrior. "Wow! It's a mini-me! Thanks Elsa," he said kissing her on the cheek. "Well we better head back or we'll get in trouble," Elsa said as sh started walking back. "Elsa, wait!" Barley said and stopped her, looking concerned. Elsa turned around. "Barley, what is it?" she asked him. Barley got down on one knee and took Elsa's hand. "Elsa, you are my best friend. When we first met, I fell in love with you right away. You are the most amazing person I have ever met and you have taught me  so much. I know we have our differences but it's just who we are and I love that about you," Elsa stopped him. "Wait are you saying..." she started to say as Barley pulled out a ring. "Elsa, milady, will you marry me?" Barley asked as Elsa gasped and hugged him. "Oh my gosh! Yes!" Elsa said as Barley put the ring on her finger. They kissed passionately as the sun set behind them. Leo peeked out from behind the door. Way to go, Barley, Leo thought to himself and smiled. Barley and Elsa started to sing:
All those days watching from the windows
All those years outside looking in
All that time never even knowing
Just how blind I've been
Now I'm here blinking in the starlight
Now I'm here suddenly I see
Standing here it's all so clear
I'm where I'm meant to be
And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you
All those days chasing down a daydream
All those years living in a blur
All that time never truly seeing
Things, the way they were
Now she's here shining in the starlight
Now she's here suddenly I know
If she's here it's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go
And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything is different
Now that I see you
Now that I see you
