I was sat under a tree, in the woods surrounding the circus grounds, you see, Joker and I had had a fight, and in a mixture of anger, sadness and annoyance I stormed out without a second thought. Funny thing is, I realise now, the argument wasn't even about anything serious, it's just that had been in a foul mood all day, I'd been having a bad day if you will. You see, if Lady luck was a real person, then it would have been like she'd been ignoring me. What I'm trying to say is today was just bad luck and nothing else.
Before we begin, I would like to alert you that today was a special day, though I won't tell you why until later, as it isn't of importance right now.
First off, I woke up, and forgot I was sleeping in a tent. I certainly wasn't expecting to step in mud the second I got out of bed, that's for sure, and being half asleep, I wasn't in the mood to clean it up. Nor was I in any hurry to do so either. After a while though, I decided to clean off the frousy substance and make my way out of my tent.
Although, when I set foot out of my tent, after finally cleaning the mud off of me, I nearly jumped a mile. Snake was outside, mind you, if someone was just standing there silently, and you turn around and see them, wouldn't you be a little shocked too? I practically had a heart attack, if I'm to be honest, but I digress, describing my fear in that split second is not what you're here for after all. Then, to make matters worse, he informed me that I was, in fact, late for breakfast. That was a big no no! I need food. Then, only making things less pleasing, he told me one of his snakes had escaped. Even bigger no no! A poisonous creature slithering around, ready to bite anyone without a moments notice. No thanks.
Then, by the time I got to breakfast, all that was left were a few slices of toast. The way my stomach grumbled in that moment was a sure sign that that would not be enough, but I would have to make do with what I could get.
After that the day just got worse, and my luck didn't get any better. I ripped the skirt on my costume, although it was just a tiny tear on the hem, thankfully. I kept messing up my act while practising, which is awfully humiliating when the other circus performers are watching. I am ashamed.
My day only continued to get worse, and finally the argument happened. I remember exactly how that argument went.
*flashback*
I walk to Joker's tent, not in the mood to deal with anything else, hoping he can cheer me up. You see it's our anniversary. 1 year to this day we have been together. Though, he's been avoiding me an awful lot as of late. Oh well.
I lift up the flap to his tent, his gift behind my back. "Joker, I have something for you!" I yelled.
His face lights up as he stares at me. "A gift? For me?" He asks.
"Of course, silly!"
"But, why?" He asks, dumbfound.
My heart drops. Did he forget? "Have you seriously forgotten what day it is today?" I ask frowning.
"What do ye mean?" He asks.
I gasp and look at him, slightly angry though I refuse to show it. "You have!"
"What?"
"You forgot our anniversary!' I yell, not holding back my anger any more. "How could you?!"
"I didn't mean to Diamond. I'm sor-"
"First you spent the past week avoiding me, and now this?" I ask, cutting him off. "What is wrong with you?!"
I felt a tear slip down my cheek. "Wait! I get it now! You don't like me anymore! Is that it?!"
He looks down, sighing.
"Answer me!" I demand, resisting the urge to slap him. Maybe I'm overreacting. "If it is then man up and say it. Do you have the guts to say 'I don't love you'?" (Get the reference? Shout out if you get it. Shoutouts: LadyWifi- user90614610 Okay, so no more shoutouts, cos I keep forgetting to put them, sorry guys )
"Diamond, I-"
"I don't wanna hear it!" I snap, before storming out of the tent.
*end flashback*
And now here I was alone in the woods, scared, cold. Maybe I did over react. I was dragged feom my thoughts by a rustling noise. Now, normally, I would pass this off as the wind, but I was alone in a forest, that could possibly be filled with preditors that may see me as helpless prey, ready for them to feast on. Who knew what terrifying creatures could be lurking around here?
I looked around, panic gnawing at my core. What I saw terrified me. There , in the bushes ahead of me, was a pair, of ominous, glowing, white eyes the colour of freshly fallen snow. Normally, I find this colour relaxing, but this is one of the rare times I don't see it that way. I began to back away, when suddenly, the sinister eyes vanished. I let out a sigh of relief, when more rustling came from the bushes right behind me. I froze, certain that the creature was behind me. Slowly, like an idiot I might add, I turned to face the bushes, only a few feet behind me. My fears were confirmed by the glowing white eyes, staring at me.
I let out a scream, as the creature suddenly jumped towards me. 'This is it!' I thought 'And I'm gonna die without being able to apolagize for all those mean things I said to Joker"
Suddenly I heard the creature whimpering and running off. Confused and anxious, I uncovered my eyes and looked at my saviour. "J-Joker?"
He turned and looked at me. "Are ye oka-"
I cut him off and tackled him in a hug. "I'm so sorry!" I yelled, hugging him so tight, like if I let go I'd fade away to nothing.
"It's ok."
"No. It's not. I said so many mean things and I probably hurt you and you probably hate m-"
"Sh.." he whispered placing his finger on my lips. "Listen, all that matter's is that ye're ok."
I didn't answer, I just hugged him again, crying into his shoulder. "I thought I'd never be able to see you again." I sobbed, tears dripping onto the shoulder of the ringleader. "Why would you save me, I was so mean?"
"Because, When I saw that thing, I was scared that I would lose you. That I'd never be able to hold you close and comfort you when you're scared. Never be able to hear your adorable laugh, or see how your eyes light up when someone mentions chocolate. I was scared I'd lose the one thing I love with every fibre of my being, you."

1127 words. The ending is like if you watch the dub, like I do, he loses his accent whenever he is being serious, and that's why he doesn't have an accent in the very end of the story.
