Just disregard the last part of the song
McDoon's POV
I held my cigarette with my fingertips, studying the unsuspecting family's wagon.
It looked like nothing but dry kindle to me, perfect to burn. And once I burned it down, I'd grab that sweet girl and drag her ass to Mexico with me and Cletus!
The perfect plan.
"Just a tiny spark, sends a light through the dark. The devil's unleashed, hell is your destiny."
I blew some of the embers on the ground, and flicked my wrist back to throw the flaming stick at the wagon.
"Your wagon is on-"
A hand reached up to grab my wrist, preventing me from throwing the cigarette.
I looked down to see Y/N, her face scrunched up angrily. She gave me butterflies.
"Why hello child bride! Pleasure to see you here on this fine night." I laughed.
She twisted my wrist down, so I dropped the cigarette.
"Mr.McDoon, what on earth are you doing?" She squealed, holding my arms.
I smiled and tipped my hat.
"Just seeing to it we made it to Mexico darlin'."
She looked shocked, as I knew she would be.
"W-what ever do you mean?"
I gestured to my much more advanced wagon, a smug looking Cletus stood.
I watched Y/N stare at the wagon in amazement, and I heard her murmur something like, "Circle wheels.."
But her face straightened quickly, and she looked stern.
"No, no I will not be going with you."
She started to to walk away but I grabbed her arm, pulling her towards me.
"I don't think you have a choice." I snarled.
She wriggle her arm out of my grasp and stamped on my foot, but didn't run.
"How about this... I'll make you a deal." She crossed her arms and smirked. Feisty.
"Y/N, you keep me on my toes. I like that. Well, I crave a boon as much as any man, so state your deal."
She stood tall and gestures towards Cletus.
"How about, if you two come with us, on our Oregon Trail... I'll marry you."
I almost laughed right there in her face.
"And why would we do that?"
"Maybe you could finally settle down, in a prosperous land no doubt. We can start a new life..." her hands cane up to mine, making my face heat up.
"A better life. Settle and leave your bandit ways behind you. With me."
It was like she had heard me and Cletus's conversation, I did want to do all of that. And I would love to do it with such a lively, beautiful young lady. She was fierce and tough, and she gave my butterflies. That was uncommon. I'd give up my bandit ways for her, any day.
But to travel with this family might be difficult.
"Alright, I'll accept. But we will be using my wagon, that things is a piece of shit." I took a drag from my cigarette and dropped it on the ground, stomping it.
She actually looked hopeful, and tugged on one of her braids.
"Great, oh I'm so excited McDoon!"
I smiled and wrapped my arms around her.
"Just call me Joey... Ms.McDoon."
