The morning after Dustin’s stay, Cece awoke to an empty bed. She went downstairs, found Dustin, and began to follow her plan.

Cece: See this beautiful lot Dustin? It’s a perfect spot to watch the sunset. Want to know a secret?

Dustin: Sure!

Cece: You can stay on this beautiful lot.

Dustin: Really? You mean, I can live here with your parents and leave my elderly ex-wife and children behind in my giant mansion?

Cece: Yeah Dustin! You can be with me 24/7!

Dustin: Sure, I’ll move in with you!

Cece: *cackles*

Dustin: What was that?

Cece: Errr… I’m just so excited to live in the same house as you! Nervous giggles!

Dustin: Awww, how cute.

Man, he fell for THAT?

Cece: The stupider he is, the easier it’ll be to complete my LTW.

There was only one thing Cece had to get used to with Dustin….

Dustin: Come close for a moment, Cecelia.

WHAT?! He can call you Cecelia?

Cece: Urrhhmm… alright Dustin…..

Cece: *cringes*

She wasn’t used to being Dustin’s on hand blood bag.

Cece: Ugh. Just thinking about it gives me the creeps. Apparently I did something right by letting him take my blood! Something good happened next!

What happened?!

You’ll see…

Dustin: Cece, will you be my girlfriend?

What did you say?

Cece: I said yes! I mean, he has to be my spouse to complete my LTW! Unfortunately, he was in his underwear so it wasn’t perfect….

Stop being such a perfectionist!

Cece: Well, what I did next was a Trails tradition!

And what may that tradition be?

Cece: I immediately dropped down on one knee, almost dropping the box in the process, and asked him to marry me.

Cece: He was a little shocked at first, but I wasn’t worried about his answer…

Well, did he accept your proposal?

Dustin: YES!

Cece: Once he was under my spell, how could he refuse?

Dustin: Listen Cecelia, I love you so much! There’s something I have to tell you….

Cece: What is it dear?

Dustin: I want to wait a while after our engagement to get married. I don’t want Lliana thinking I’m abandoning her for the next thing to come along. I want her to know that I love you!

Oh snap….

Cece: I know, NOT perfect and NOT in the plan. That’s alright, I got some insurance to make sure he would marry me soon…

What did you do?

Cece: I’m so glad you told me Dustin! Now I will make sure that your death is slow and painful!

Dustin: I’m glad you understand….

Is that your “insurance”?

Cece: No moron! See what happens next!

I don’t-

Cece: JUST WAIT, ALRIGHT?

After they were done with their insurance plan, Dustin went down to the police station and got a job. He rolled the wish, I might as well fulfill it!

Cece: Yay! I don’t understand how he was rich and unemployed…

Well, that confusion will be replaced with sadness soon!

Cece: Why? What happened?

That night, alone, cold, and half naked….

Jared’s luck ran out…

Cece: NO! DAD!

That night, Jared looked Death in the face…

Or, where he thought his face would be…

and ran out of time.

Cece: DAD! HOW CAN YOU LEAVE MY ALONE WITH MOM?!

Needless to say, everyone was heartbroken.

Cece: I don’t understand why he couldn’t have more time… at least let him shower and be classy in the afterlife.

That perfectionist trait is going to KILL me.

Death haunted dreams…

Cece: HEY! NOT PERFECT!

The only good thing that happened was that Cece and her mother became friends once again.

Cece: I don’t know what to feel… Being evil, suffering is enjoyable.

Death did bring the lovers closer together…

Although death prevailed,

the plan must continue…

Cece’s insurance was in place…

Cece: Next time, we’ll get a shotgun wedding!

Cece: Yes, we’ll have the color scheme be blue and orange…

Rest in peace Jared Trails…

Until next time readers…
