Marry Me!

said the man as his love walked away. She was going to have to leave the country in a few days. They had only met two weeks ago, but he knew she was too special to give up.

"What?" she said, stopping, but not quite turning around.

"I said..." he worked up the nerve to repeat it, "Marry me."

She turned all the way around and looked at him.

"Like, 'marry you' marry you?"

"Yes," he said as the two slowly walked towards each other.

"But we've only just met..."

"I know, but... I really like you, and I want to see where this goes. Besides, you deserve to be able to stay in this country."

"But you barely know me..."

"Yeah, but what don't I know that I'd need to know?"

She paused, looked up, and turned into a demon.

"I am the daughter of the Lord of Darkness," she said.

He stared at her.

She turned back into a person and smiled, "So can my dad come to the wedding?"
