Two friends visited the wishing tree. Eloy released an inaudible sound as he falls flat on his side by the tree trunk. His breaths stumbling by each other. Finger twitching involuntarily. Feet twisted around each other, the reason for him falling in the first place. Eyes twitching… searching for the box. His gaze is limited from the angle he’s positioned for this view.

“Have you found it yet?!” Exclaimed Ellenoy approaching the tree. “Are you seriously resting right now?” Eloy forces his body to turn over. Dried leaves, old sticks and broken branches piercing his back. Eyes twitching again as he tries to focus his gaze but his mind wouldn’t let him. “Have you found it yet?!” Screamed Ellenoy, frantically twisting and toasting, scoping the area for evidence of a box or something that could be considered a box.

Eloy grunts as he lifts the top half of his body from the ground. Pointing the index finger of his trembling left hand toward Ellenoy angled sixty-five degrees overhead. “There.” Eloy said confidently. Ellenoy looks up, turns around and lets outs a hysterical laugh. “There’s a fricken box, you idiot, I cannot believe it’s really here!” Ellenoy starts climbing the tree unconcerned with what Eloy was doing hereafter.

Laughing all the way up and across the very unstable branches of the tree until she laid hands on the box. “Why on earth would your father put this box in this tree? All the way out here in the middle of nowhere? It’s almost like he didn’t want you to even access this!” Ellenoy shouts down to Eloy who is regaining control over his nerve wrecked, exhausted body. Eloy stands to his feet, cracks his neck and yells back to Ellenoy with a smirk. “Can you get you fine self out of that ancient tree before you fall and my father’s idea of a joke is seen as a death trap?”

Ellenoy safely returns to the based of the tree. Face to face with Eloy, “even the exterior of this box it made of expensive jewels” Ellenoy whispers enthusiastically. “Should we open it now? I cannot withdraw my want to see what’s in it after that torchering hunt.” Staring eye into eye in silence for a slight moment before Eloy shyly accepts here request. “Here, I will open it” he offers as he takes the valuable treasure from her hands. Staring once again deep into Ellenoy’s eyes before he drops on one knee.

“Ellenoy, my Love you have once again tickled my fancy by following me all the way out here” he chuckles. “This is what’s in this box” he proudly says as he opened the gold trimmed gadget. “Something almost as valuable as you but something that would add much more value to our relationship.”Ellenoy is completely shocked. The fearful surprise is displayed facially. Water filled joyful eyes staring in disbelief.

Eloy takes a deep breath “Will You Marry Me” he asks with a bright smile. The tears are flowing uncontrollably now. “YES, yes I will!” Ellenoy replies. “I love you, yes I will. Your father is still a fricken jerk for this.” Theydigested the moment and prepared to make their way back. “I wish we could just skip to our wedding day” joked Ellenoy making a ballet twist in front of Eloy.

Just like that the wish was granted. They were suddenly in the middle of a ballroom with all their wedding guests in attendance. Dancing the final dance of the evening.
