As estimated, plastic ruler was gone the next morning. HE WAS TAKEN TO THE REBORNING. It was a process when one was melted and made into another ruler/ stationary once again.

Once again, I bought a bunch of pink roses and bought another engagement ring. This one was silver and had a tiny diamond sitting on top. Once again, I met her in the park where birds chirped gaily. Two little hummingbirds were making an " ornate" nest, fluttering in and out of branches.

Once again I found her sitting on a bench, reading a novel. I strode over and gave her a sloppy kiss on the cheek."Ewww, quit that!" wooden ruler slapped my round face gently.

I chuckled and said," I have some good news! Plastic ruler is rid from us forever! Also, I brought you some peaches from his beautiful garden. He won't be needing it anyway!" I cackled evilly. Stationaries walking along the park stared at me, thinking " Who is this maniac laughing like crazy?" But I won't care so much!

Wooden ruler looked like I've given her a million grams of sand." Oh my god! I cant believe you've succeeded! And you even brought me an extra present! Yipeeeeee!" She whooped as she was being swept into my arms.( Yes I agree she is a bit cold-hearted)

My face turned serious again. I gave her the bunch of sweet-smelling roses. " Well, that's nice!" wooden ruler beamed and planted a kiss on my cheek.

My stomach was full of butterflies, trying to escape. I had planned an even grander proposal than the last disastrous time for woody.

"The rose is red, the violet's blue, The honey's sweet, and so are you. My sweetest, dearest wooden ruler, you are my life and soul; I cannot live without you! Please keep me alive with your happiness and love! Will you give me the honour of becoming you partner, your groom, a part of your soul? Will you marry me?" I blurted out and quickly turned scarlet.

" Well... can you please give me some time to think about it?" wooden ruler looked shocked and a bit frightened.

My heart sank, but I forced out a smile courageously and said, " Sure! About how long, may I ask?"

" Maybe a day?"

I smiled sadly and nodded.

Woody seemed to know what I was thinking and said," Don't worry." and hugged me." I just need to consult my parents, that's all."
