This is just a story told by dialogue . WARNING- POSSIBLE TRIGGER

"Where are we going?"

"Just... somewhere."

"Can you please tell me?"

"That would ruin the surprise."

"Oh, it's a surprise. Please tell me that it's not a prank or something."

"Now, why would I do that?"

"Because you're you. You love doing surprise pranks."

"Okay, okay. It's not a prank, but that's all you're going to get out of me!"

"That's good. I can strike that off my long list of things that is running through my mind right now."

"Haha. What else is going through your mind?"

"Um.... Let's see.... First one was a prank. Now it's a haunted house. Then ancient burial ground."

"Why do you assume I'm going to do something horrible to you?"

"The next one was murder."

"Oh, God! Why would you think that?!"

"I have a dark mind when it comes to walking in a forest with no one in sight and no one to hear you. You also make me watch horror movies with you in the dark."

"You can't watch a scary movie by yourself! It's like the bro code."

"Tell that to the nightmares that I have afterwards."

"Can you at least tell me it's a little romantic?"

"I guess it's romantic in a creepy way."

"That's good, right?"

"Eh, it's the way you interpret it."

"Okay, sure. Now think of the nicer things that could happen in the woods."

"You don't think that murder isn't nice?"

"No, it's not."

"You could drown me in the river then place loving flowers arou- nope, never mind."

"First off, I'm not going to do anything horrible to you. Second, why not flowers?"

"Undertale."

"Oh, yeah."

"That thing always creep me out."

"Let's go back to the good things, shall we?"

"Fine.... The good things are a loving stroll through the woods with the changing leaves as you do know that autumn is my favorite season."

"Okay. What's the next thing?"

"I'm in the middle of the woods with the man who I love so very much."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. What else? Mm.... It has been a stressful week with the Texas job and you being in the hospital, so being away from it all feels amazing."

"I'm glad that you feel that way. We're almost there."

"This is a pretty long walk...."

"It's a pretty big surprise."

"I'm about a hair away from going back to my horrible list of terrible things."

"Please don't! We... are... here!"

"Ohmy- Wow! This... this was totally worth it."

"I told you it was a big surprise!"

"Best. Surprise. Ever! Look at this view!"

"Mhm.... Getting any good pictures?"

"They're all beautiful. You had this hidden behind your mother's house?"

"I took some time when I was recovering to find this spot."

"Well, thank you. It's pretty amazing and you pulled it all together with a orange sunset. Planned too well."

"I did my research and figured out the time."

"I love it. I love it all. This is too glorious. You know what else I love?"

"Let me guess.... Golden cheese pizza?"

"I do love that, but that's not it. I'll give you a hint. It starts with a 'M'."

"Mmm.... Macaroni and cheese?"

"I do love that too."

"Give me another try."

"Okay."

"Starts with a 'M'. How about 'Marcus'?"

"Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!"

"Ooo! What's my prize?!"

"It is.... A lovely girl who has brown hair and some physical problems."

"Which I love so much."

"...What it is, Marcus? It seems like there's something on your mind."

"I guess you do know me. Okay, fine! I'll tell you."

"You can tell me anything."

"Huh.... Amy, we've been together for along time. We've been through so many things that I thought that I would never go through."

"Marcus...."

"I put you through all those horror movies and pranks."

"Marcus."

"I had to go through the shock of you dying on a hospital bed."

"Marcus! Please n-"

".... I did everything for you and yet, that wasn't enough for you. You had to go and sleep around with my best friends. My friends, you bitch!"

"M-Marcus, please.... I-It was just one-"

"Shut up, you whore! I gave up my life for you to be happy! Now, it's my turn."

"Marcus.... Marcus, put the gun down. Put it down. Now."

"I'm going to be happy."

"You were always happy. We were happy! It was one mistake that I made. I will pay the price. You are not going to take your life to be happy. Trust me, I know from experience."

"I've seen you. Dying on a hospital bed. You were so peaceful. I want that."

"Marcus, pull you finger off of th- Marcus!"

"Goodb-"

".... Marcus. Baby, speak to me. Talk to me, hon. T-This isn't h-how you should go. Marcus, no...."
