Our Story

The Cloonans

Picture of The Cloonans

Jasper and Charles both attended Full Sail University in 2018. They both happen to be taking Fundamentals of Art II together, where they would develop a strong friendship. While taking the class the close friendship developed into strong feelings for the other one. Jas would often wander over to Chad’s desk during class and at parties, just to joke and flirt with him although he was oblivious to the fact.


One time, Jas decided to throw a party, where she planned on making a move to confess her feelings. The party was going great however, unfortunately for Jas, Fireball had gotten the best of her that night. Too embarrassed to tell Chad how they felt, she decided to retire to her room for the night. But there was still hope; a few of the party guests, including Chad, would have to stay for the night because they weren’t able to safely return home. Not being able to get any sleep, Chad ended up leaving a couple hours later. Upon waking, Jas sprung out of bed in hopes to finally tell him her true feelings, but he was already gone.


Jas, unwilling to give up on the love of her life, decided to try one more time. But this time they would make sure nothing would be in her way. A group with Chad and Jas both had made plans to attend a bar that was showcasing UFC 229: Khabib vs. McGregor. Before heading out, the group of friends had decided to meet up at Chad’s apartment to pregame. Jasper had come up with a master plan to get the two of them alone. As the night was wrapping up, Jasper’s plan was now into action. Jas tells Chad that she had forgotten her vape at the apartment, giving her an excuse for the two to be alone.


Unbeknownst to Jas, Chad was also planning on confessing his feelings for her that night as well. Once in the apartment, Chad decided to jump on the opportunity before Jas could even say anything. Wanting to be able to play it off if it goes bad, he playfully said “Want to make out?” Jas, initially stunned thinking it was a joke, just said “What?” Embarrassed and feeling rejected, Chad decides to play it off, and says “I said, I found your vape.” However the drive home didn’t become as awkward as you’d expect, both Jas and Chad confessed their feelings for each other, and they decided to start seeing each other seriously. The two would soon move in together, and get a dog, starting their nuclear family unit.


After a couple of years of living together, the two felt as if they were married except there was no ring and no wedding. Chad had been thinking of proposing for a while and had even bought the ring a couple of months prior but was unsure how to propose. He wanted to make it special and romantic. Jasper didn’t want a big event and favored something smaller and more romantic. While waiting for the perfect opportunity, Chad received a job offer that would require them to relocate from Orlando to Chicago. A place that is closer to Jas’s hometown and a City in which they had many fond memories. But she wasn’t sure that she could commit to moving with him if he didn’t want to get married.


Chad hatches a plan to propose at one of their favorite places, (City-Walk at Universal) .So Chad put the ring in his pocket and asked Jas to go on a spontaneous date for food and drinks. Not wanting Jas to see the ring and get suspicious, he planned on how to get through the metal detectors. One of the parkgoers was causing a little scene going through the detector causing a distraction. Chad pointed at the scene causing Jas to briefly look over, where Chad had slipped the ring into his wallet to send through.


Mission Success.


They had found a spot right in front of the Hard Rock Cafe where they had stopped for drinks. It was game time. The lights were shimmering, the water was still and the night had a cool breeze. Right by the pond at night you can see all the lights reflecting on the water creating a romantic and beautiful atmosphere.


( Chad slyly popped the question )


Once Jas saw the ring it was as if time had stopped. This was something the both of them had wanted for a long time. This was the start of forever, for them.


tldr: One time in a lands far far away ( 667.2 mi ), two slightly artistic lovers decide to become the bestest of friendos.
