Titan Part I: The Fallen Hero

Reconciliation

I knock on Rose's door. She doesn't respond. I knock several other times. The door finally opens. Rose barely shows her head.

"Rose can we please talk?"

"Please go away!"

"I can only imagine how you feel. Finding out your boyfriend is an alien. I wanted to tell you since the day we met but I was afraid. However, I should have told you when we met."

Rose opens the door.

"It's not the fact that you are an alien. It's the fact that I still don't know a lot about you."

"Well what if we find out together?"

"What are you saying?"

I bend down and show the ring.

"Rose, will you marry me?"

Rose is speechless. I am shaking.

"Yes."

I give her the biggest hug I have ever given. After our date, I tell Michael about our engagement. He throws a party and introduces me to many of his friends. And on Monday, June 15, the big day finally arrives. As I am getting ready for the wedding, I hear a knock on the door. Michael is standing at the door, holding an envelope in his hand.

"This just came for you."

"Who is it from?" I ask.

"I have no idea."

I open the envelope.

"Congratulations on the wedding. Wish you many happy days ahead,-signed Anonymous."

"I wonder who it could be," Michael asks.

I shrug my shoulders.

The wedding begins. Everything looks nice and well-placed. Michael brings out Rose in a white, lavish-looking wedding dress.

"Do you, James Anderson take Rose Phillips to be your wife?"

"I do."

"And do you, Rose Phillips, take James Anderson to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do."

"I now pronounce you husband and bride."

We embrace each other and kiss. Then we head to Fiji for our honeymoon. I pack my Titan Suit just to be safe.

"Did you have to bring your superhero costume with you, honey?"

"You can never tell what will happen."
