Strangely, and Joker laughed loudly as he thought about this, he couldn't seem to get a certain song out of his obsessive mind.

Harley, before she had been rudely taken away by the Bat, had winked at him oh so casually. A small perhaps invisible wink towards him that showed she was boiling up a pot of trouble, also letting him know to just let her go. Joker shook his hands in excitement, how wonderful it was to have been able to get her to start thinking like he did. Perfectly marvelous, yes truly marvelous, oh, I can't believe it's happening to me, some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this!

He jumped up and down still laughing madly.

"Perfect! Perfect! Thank you Batsy! You're such a doll ya know!"

Joker jumped up again and clicked his heels, he pulled a gun from his pocket and shot crazily at the windows for the store, mouthing 'pow' as he shot at each window.

"What the hell are you doing Joker?" Ike called from behind.

"Oh sorry about that Ike…you see I'm just a tad excited." He shook his hands again tossing the gun to the side.

"Why are you excited?" He was extremely puzzled which made Joker laugh even harder, he himself didn't think he could possibly laugh any more deep than what he had been doing.

Joker held onto his stomach leaning forward gasping for air, he finally came up, "Well…I'm engaged!"

"What? Engaged, you? The Joker is engaged? To who?"

Joker swung his arms towards the mass of broken glass on the floor, but more towards the pile of glass the Bat had broken, "Harley!"

"Why would you be excited that your fiancée…got taken by the Bat?" He scratched his head thinking about the new windows he would have to get now.

Joker skipped happily over to Ike and then wrapped his arm around his shoulder, "Ike…you're too simple of a man to understand the deep complexity of this moment. But, in time you will come to appreciate this wonderful beginning, yes in due time you will." Joker patted Ike's chest and stared at him, "But!" Ike became startled after the long pause, "I would like you to, in the mean time, make my tux for the wedding, purples…greens…and all that, you have my dimensions haven't shed or gained a pound since the last time you measured me. Oh and I want you to come…I really do, Harley will probably take care of the invitations when I get her back…you know women like those tedious little things. Anyways I'm rambling on, I'll see to it that you get one!"

Joker motioned for his suit and Ike handed it to him with a concerned look on his face, "Well Ikey boy…Gotham needs attending too!" He stepped over the broken glass then stopped when he was on the outside of the building.

"I'll have someone come by and fix this awful mess you have here…you know you should be more careful…lot's of weirdo's running around…they might break in!" Ike watched Joker skip out of view listening to his maniacal laugh.

"Joker's engaged? What the hell is this world coming too?"

Harley sat in Batman's batmobile, it smelled awful. Pure sweat, nothing like her Puddin', and oh how she already missed his incredible charm and wit…

"Oh thank you so much Batman! I thought I would never get away from him…" Fake tears rolled down her cheeks, "I was so scared…thank God!"

Batman noticed the bruising on her cheek, "He hit you? What else did he do to you Miss Quinzel?"

She laughed within herself, "He…he touched me…if that's what you're asking." She made a disgusted look on her face, but she loved it when Joker touched her…absolutely loved his tender and brutal touches.

"Did he…"

"Yes, but I let him. I fooled him into actually thinking I liked him…loved him…I thought maybe somehow it could turn into a valuable situation."

"I'm sorry, I'll take you to the commissioner. You'll be safe there. You're very brave for being able to get through this with your head still on straight, although I'm sure you'll be scarred for a while. Joker is a sick and psychotic man…he is incredibly dangerous and cares for no one."

That's what you think…God I could wring your neck right now…talking about him like that you asshole! You don't even know him. None of you actually know the terror that man went through. I miss you so much Joker!

"Tell me about it…he treated me…like…like I was nothing but a…toy."

"Doctor Quinzel, again I'm incredibly sorry. I wish I could have gotten to you sooner."

"Hey…at least you got to me, I can be thankful for that right?"

Batman smiled towards her and nodded.

Look at that cheesy ass smile you have…it's so ugly! Jokers smile is always perfect…so bright and loving, his lips so soft…yours looks like someone grabbed them and ripped them off and then stuck em' back on your pathetic face, mistaking you for a pig! Ya a pig! Joker always and foreva' B-Man!

They pulled in front of the police department, "Thank you so much Batman…you are a true hero…"

Batman walked her inside and then vanished in a second flat; Harley was then met by Commissioner Gordon.

"Dr. Quinzel…it's an honor to see you…alive to be honest."

She faked a new set of tears and held herself as if she were disgusted with her body

"Please Miss Quinzel follow me, would you like some coffee, tea, water…anything at all?"

All I want is my Joker back, and I'll take him now please…

"A glass of water would be perfect."

The two of them sat down in his office and discussed the time she had been with The Joker. Harley carefully picked her words and used each tone of the words to her advantage, she had learned from the master of course.

"…and that's pretty much it…" She concluded her statement wiping her eyes with the tissue Gordon had given her, "I'll probably be scarred the rest of my life…thanks to that…monster."

Sorry Puddin'!

"Well, Doctor Quinzel, I can't tell you how good it feels to know you are alive…I can only imagine what it must have been like for you."

Truly blissful…

"You can go home, we'll triple the amount of protection around your house this time…Joker won't be able to get near you, and I give you my word."

…I want to laugh so hard right now! My God you are all so stupid…we're going to get married for goodness sakes! All part of the joke I suppose.

"I trust you commissioner…I trust you'll do your job right."

With that, Harley was taken back to her home, outside three squad cars, not under cover this time, sat in the streets. Two large body guards stood at the apartment entrance, and two guards stood in front of the doorway to her room.

Harley noticed the time, just pass one in the morning. She usually was still awake at this time, talking to Joker, listening to his hypnotic words. Harley cried hard, she truly missed him…missed his hugs, kisses, ruffling of her hair. She had become so used to feeling Joker wrap her up in a warm embrace whenever she cried…and now he wasn't there…

Harley stepped carefully into the warm water in the tub then sulked down so the liquid was just beneath her chin line. She flicked the water with her fingers, bringing back the memory of how Joker had washed her so lovingly.

Harley wiped the tears from her eyes. He had told her so much about him, something no one else in the entire world new about…and she promised to never reveal his secret. He had told her that he loved her, that she had been the only person he ever loved.

"I miss you Puddin'…"

She finished her bath and got out. She dressed and then went to the bed and sat on it, twiddling her thumbs as she did.

I really did have a boring life…if Joker were here we would be having fun. Whenever he's around we always have fun.

Harley sat up after a moment of thought and walked to the window to look out at the squad cars below.

There were no dead bodies on the hoods, damn.

She laughed at that, remembering how he had made a stalkers entrance into her life…she loved him so much.

Harley thought about his childish little acts, his unique breakfast meal, the love he had for gummy bears…she couldn't stop giggling.

"I love it when you laugh pumpkin…"

She turned around quickly and to her amazement Joker was leaning against the wall, dressed in his new vibrant suit.

"Puddin'!" She screamed loudly and then covered her mouth in fear that the officers might hear her.

"Don't worry cupcake the officer's work for me…" His voice deep and dark just the way she liked it.

Harley smiled as she ran across the room to him and jumped up into his arms smelling his wonderful scent, "I missed you so much Mistah J!"

Joker licked her lips, "I've missed you too Harley, I just can't get enough of you. But really it's only been what about six hours at the most?"

"Six hours too many…I love you! I love you! I love you!" Harley kissed his neck and nose.

"Harley I can't stay, even though the guards work for me…it's too risky. I wrote this so you can get a vibe for the plan…it's a good one you'll love it!" He handed her the sealed letter.

Her face dropped down a mile, "Please don't leave me…it's so boring without you."

Joker shrugged his shoulders, "I guess it couldn't hurt really."

Harley shrieked with joy and pushed her head into his chest.

"You're going to be the perfect wife Harl. That sounds odd huh?"

She nodded, "Yea."

Joker set her down on the bed and closed the blinds, "Harley?"

Harley kicked her legs in the air, she was so happy that Joker had come to her, "Yes?"

"How do you want to get married?" He sat down next to her and rubbed her back

"As long as I'm married to you I'll be just fine." Joker felt her place her head onto his shoulder, he ruffled her hair.

"You want a wedding…" He dug his nose into her cheek.

"Well, I wouldn't mind one."

"If you want a wedding Harley, then you'll get a wedding. I'd do anything for you just to see that gleaming smile of yours…it gets me so well."

Harley crawled underneath the covers of her bed and watched Joker stand up and stretch, "Are we going to bed Harl?"

"Yes…I've had a long day."

Joker slipped out of his suit and hung it delicately into her closet he walked back to her bed in his boxers, scratching his armpit as he went.

"Attractive…" Harley giggled.

He snuggled under the covers next to her and tapped her nose, "I do it for you babe."

"Guess what!" Harley shouted excitedly.

Joker jumped and then mimicked her tone of voice, "OMG what?"

She quieted her demeanor, "Did you just say omg?"

"Duh, get with the times Harley…"

"Don't say it again…it's weird…even for you."

"For you, I shall retire from using the phrase of omg…"

"Thank you, anyways…I got to ride in the batmobile!"

"Yea? I've always wanted to ride in that thing…it must have so many buttons."

"Buttons?" Harley questioned.

"I like buttons…" He said it so casually.

She giggled, "I figured that you would…I missed you so much."

"I know Harley…"

"Batman said that you were a…dangerous man…that you cared for no one…" She rubbed his chest underneath the covers.

"Oh really? What did you say?"

"I said 'tell me about it', but I wanted to tare his head off and wring his neck…bastard…he doesn't know you at all…"

Joker kissed her forehead, "What else happened?"

"I called him a hero…I felt like throwing up when I said that, and then I met Gordon."

"How did that go?"

"Well I faked some tears, got him to think that I fooled you into thinking that I loved you. It was fun but challenging, trying to keep my true feelings from flushing out."

Joker pulled her closer to him, "You did well…you did fantastically well."

"They took a urine sample though…to check if I was pregnant…"

Joker looked hard at her, "What were the results?"

"…Negative."

"Oh…"

Harley rubbed her thumb over his lips, "Well…that's good right?"

"…Yea, that's good."

Harley saw a look of sadness flutter throughout his eyes, "Hey…"

Joker kissed her forehead and then looked at her.

"If I was pregnant and they found out…who knows what would have happened, besides it's too early to tell anyways right? I would want you to know first also..."

Joker noticed a tear fall from her eyes and he rolled his, "Harley stop all this crying! What's the reason now?" He responded to her jokingly and Harley recognized the tone of his voice.

"You're going to be a great dad Joker…I honestly wouldn't want anyone else to be the father of my children…"

Joker popped his neck, "Thanks Harley…"
