Hello!

It's been awhile! But first off, I want to inform you guys that this, unfortunately, will be the last one-shot for Jack and Lula. I'm working on a Marauder's Era fanfic (Harry Potter) and since it's multi-chapter, I'm really wanting to only focus on that. James Potter and Lily Evans are my all-time FAVORITE couple and I've had this story in my head for ages. It's about time I write it. But anyway, I'll let you read the one-shot and continue this author's note at the end.

A Thousand Times, Yes.

"Wow, Jack, did I mention how handsome you look tonight?"

"You're just trying to distract me."

"No, I'm not."

"Oh, really? Because it looks like I'm gonna win."

"Yeah, right. But seriously, you look very hot."

"Still not distracting me."

"I wasn't distracting you."

"Lula, c'mon- UNO!"

"Dang it!"

"Got one card left, babe. And how many do you have?"

"Shut up."

"I win." Jack smiled in victory as he slammed his last card onto the messy pile of worn-out Uno cards. He hollered and laughed, watching as Lula pouted and threw the rest of her cards onto the coffee table in front of them. "Up top," Jack held his large hand in the air, expecting a high-five from his girlfriend. "Don't leave me hanging, Lula."

Sighing, Lula raised her hand and high-fived him. "You suck."

"No, Lula, I win." Jack winked and climbed over to the couch Lula was sitting on. Wrapping his arms around her, Jack pressed a kiss on her forehead. Jack sighed. "I'm sorry you lose all the time."

"Whatever!" Lula laughed, smacking Jack's chest. She tried pushing him away but since Jack was incredibly stronger than her, failed and ended up with him even more closer to her. The young woman smiled and kissed Jack's cheek. "Well, Jack Wilder. You've treated me to my favorite restaurant, a beautiful walk in the park, gave me my favorite flowers, pigged out on ice cream with me, and played my favorite games. So, what now?" Lula wrapped her arms around his neck. "I swear, if you wanted to get in my pants, you could have just asked."

Jack chuckled softly and the sound vibrated through Lula's ears, as always. Her stomach flipped the way it always did whenever he looked at her. Lula could feel her heart skip a beat as he took his hand in hers- they fit perfectly together.

One thought occurred to the young woman just then. She was happy. More than she had ever been before- more than finding her passion for magic, more than joining the Four Horsemen, more than even meeting Jack Wilder. Lula was the happiest girl in the world, and she was prepared to fight on it.

Lula smiled, waiting for his response.

"I might have something." Jack gently pulled her up and guided her throughout the apartment they bought together. Lula smiled, following Jack down the hall towards one of the rooms at the end.

Jack stopped in front of the closed door on the right and faced Lula, who was staring up at him happily. Curiosity gnawed at her stomach and Lula bit down on her lip to keep herself from asking what exactly he was doing. After all, she would find out in just a few seconds. But that didn't stop her thoughts from running wild with what could possibly be behind the door.

Did he finally get the furniture moved? Or maybe the walls painted? Oh! Perhaps it was an office just for their magic supplies! Or their own home theatre? THAT would be awesome.

Jack gently turned the doorknob which seemed to cause Lula's stomach tighten with excitement. She met his eyes as he pushed the door open and let go of her hand. Lula watched as he stepped into the room but out of the way, allowing her to see.

What Lula saw took her breath away.

Rose petals. Hundreds of them littered the floor, forming into one large heart. In the center of the heart was a small table. On it, lit candles that made the room smell like her favorite scent- Christmas. Also on the table were pictures of them over the years- from their very first show together to last Christmas with Danny and Merritt. A bottle of red wine (her favorite) and two fancy-shmancy cups (that's what Lula called them) were on the table as well. Above her on the ceiling, hung beautiful lights that twinkled, reminding Lula of the night sky.

It was absolutely beautiful.

Lula smiled as tears gathered in her big eyes. She looked over and met Jack's gaze. When he pulled out a small black box, Lula gasped. Her small hands immediately covered her mouth, showing the shock and awe she was feeling at that very moment.

Her heart raced against her chest and the butterflies that fluttered around her stomach were almost unbearable. She smiled, wiping away the already spilling tears.

Jack returned the smile and slowly got down on one knee. "Lula," He began slowly.

Lula nervously ran a hand through her hair and nodded. "Yes?" She was completely out of breath and had the biggest smile Jack had ever seen on her face. Lula took a step closer and clutched onto the dress she was wearing, for her hands were shaking wildly.

"These past four years have been the best of my entire life. And it's because of you. I wish to spend the rest of my life by your side, protecting you and loving you. I know that with you, anything is possible. Will you do the honor of making me the happiest man alive?" Jack opened the box, revealing Lula's dream engagement ring. "Will you marry me, Lula?"

Lula nodded furiously, still sobbing, and cried out- "Yes! A thousand times, yes!"

She ran and threw her arms around him, smashing her lips against his. The kiss was wet from her tears but the happiest one they had ever shared. When Lula backed away, the two smiled happily, truly happy.

Jack took her small hand and slid the ring on her left finger all the while Lula smiled, staring at him. "I love you," She whispered once he met her gaze.

Running a hand through her dark hair, Jack smiled. "I love you, Lula."

Lula smiled, kissing him one more time, before staring down at her ring. "Mrs. Jack Wilder. Lula Wilder. Has a nice ring to it, you know."

Jack smiled brightly and pulled her close. "I'm the luckiest man the world."

Lula looked up and stood on her toes to place a kiss on his cheek. "Well, I'm the luckiest girl in the world."

And, like always, two familiar voices from the doorway ruined their moment and yet, somehow, made it that much more special. Danny and Merritt both burst into the room.

"YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED?!"

I really hope you enjoyed this one. I feel like it definitely wasn't my strongest (since I've been stuck in the mindset of the Marauders) but I certainly enjoyed writing it. I want to also apologize if I didn't get around to writing your one-shot requests. A lot of them were alike so I tried putting them together to form a combined one-shot(s) and I hope that I got all of yours. If not, I'M SORRY. Please don't be mad; I love you.

Anyway, this is the last one-shot for Jack and Lula. Thank you all for supporting and reviewing. I hope you enjoyed reading about this adorable couple! Now, it's time to go to Hogwarts. And I hope you all can come along. Grab your brooms and let's fly.

The first chapter to my story, Of Witches and Wizards, will hopefully be published soon! It would mean a lot if you guys read it and reviewed. :) I'm really looking forward to this whole adventure because Harry Potter is literally my life and if it's not yours, then you're lying. And if you don't love James Potter then you need to rethink your life. He's the best.

I love you all. Stay awesome.

I'm out.

XOXO
