Corpse Brides (Corpse Bride X Fem Reader)

5. Explanations

{3rd Pov.}

The house lights dim, leaving a single spotlight hitting the stage, where Bonejangles, front-man for the skeletons, steps forward.
"Since you're askin' ..." He snaps his fingers."Hit it, boys!"The Skeletons launch into a lively number, a "Minnie the Moocher"-type ballad where the crowd sings along, pounding their glasses on the bar to keep time.

  Hey! Give me a listen you corpses of cheer
At least those of you who still got an ear
I'll tell you a story that'll make a skeleton cry
Of our own jubilicious lovely corpse bride

  Die, die we all pass away
But don't wear a frown 'cause it's really okay
And you might try and hide
And you might try and pray
But we all end up the remains of the day
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (that's right)
Yeah yeah yeah

  Well our girl is a beauty known for miles around
When a mysterious stranger came into town
He's plenty good-looking, but down on his cash
And our poor little baby, she fell hard and fast
When her daddy said no, she just couldn't cope
So our lovers came up with a plan to elope

  Die, die we all pass away
But don't wear a frown 'cause it's really okay
And you might try and hide
And you might try and pray
But we all end up the remains of the day
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

  Oh, that's right.
Okay. Oh, yeah.
Come on, boys, pick it up
Yeah. Like it.
Okay, Chancy, take it.
Yeah. Yeah! That's nice
Yeah!

So they conjured up a plan to meet late at night
They told not a soul, kept the whole thing tight
Now, her mother's wedding dress fit like a glove
You don't need much when you're really in love
  Except for a few things, or some told
Like the family jewels and a satchel of gold
Then next to the graveyard by the old oak tree
On a dark foggy night at a quarter to three
She was ready to go, but where was he?

And then?

She waited

And then?

There in the shadows, was it her man?

And then?

Her little heart beat so loud

And then?

And then baby, everything went black

  Now when she opened her eyes she was dead as dust
Her jewels were missing and her heart was bust
So she made a vow lying under that tree
That she'd wait for her true loves to come set her free
  Always waiting for someone to ask for her hand
When out of the blue comes this groovy young pair
Who vows forever to be by her side
And that's the story of our own corpse bride

  Die, die we all pass away
But don't wear a frown 'cause it's really okay
And you might try and hide
And you might try and pray
But we all end up the remains of the day

The pub is swirling with activity as the Dead dance and laugh. The song ends. The Corpse Bride plants a big kiss on Victor's cheek and holds (Y/N)'s hand then pulls her close. He is absolutely stunned. As the night shone over the village square is dark, Except for a few lights coming from Everglot Mansion. All is silent, but for the hacking cough coming from Mayhew, who sits shivering on the Van Dorts' carriage parked in the drive.

{Victoria's Pov.}

  The moonlight glistens through
Victoria's room as she is sewing together several patches of material to make the corner of the quilt. So far, it's only as big as her lap. Hildegarde attends her, clearly concerned for the girl. Victoria stops for a moment and her face is saddened." Perhaps the Pastor was right. And Victor doesn't want to marry me." She casts her patchwork aside." I'm being silly. He's turned up by now. bound to Right?" Victoria gets up and walks to the door, followed by Hildegarde. Heading to the drawing room the Van Dorts and the Everglots are gathered as Victoria enters, staying close to the doorway. Nell tries to reassure them. " I'm sure he'll be back shortly. He's terrified of the dark. In fact, when he was a boy he used to ..."The Butler announces a new visitor with a grim expression." Master Barkis!" Barkis enters the room and walks over to Finis." May I have a word with you, sir?" Finis didn't move an inch." Yes. Go on." Barkis beckons the Town Crier into the room." Tell them what you told me." The Town Crier rings his bell, as loud as he ever does in the square. He speaks in the same deafening tones.
