Proposals

by Dawn Totadile

Okay, so I figured I'd make a story to show how Honker and Gosalyn tied the knot. Here's how Honker proposed. It's based off of my "Return of a Hero" story, but you don't have to read that one to understand this. Hope you like it, and sorry, I've only seen cartoon proposals, besides, this just seemed right for them. Hope you like. :D

1. Chapter 1: Arrowtech's Proposal

It was just after the usual patrol, Quiverwing was sighing about how slow it had been and how they had gotten no information. Her father had been missing for three years now and she was an eighteen year old super hero by the name of Quiverwing Quack, the Daughter of Terror. She was an older sister to Darkwing's only biological child, Derek Mallard, the three year old son of Drake Mallard. Gosalyn sighed. She wanted her little brother to know their father, more than just the stories and pictures.

She decided to deal with her depression the best way she knew how, by training. She asked her sidekick, Arrowtech, who had once been known as the Arrow Kid, to start throwing some hoops in the air for her to shoot arrows through. They were in Quiverwing Tower, so it was set up for her to shoot arrows and build new ones when needed. Her tower was similar to her father's in many ways, and yet at the same time it definitely screamed that it was hers.

Arrowtech, Quiverwing's sidekick, started tossing the hoops as high as he could, knowing that it helped her to concentrate on something else when she was depressed. As he started tossing smaller hoops, he got an idea. He started tossing up tinier circles, a few bracelets that were kept around, a necklace or two, then he finally threw a ring in the air, knowing that it would be caught in her arrow.

When the arrow with the ring on it struck the wall, Quiverwing stopped shooting. She never missed. She was surprised to find that a small shiny ring was on the arrow. She walked over to it slowly and pulled it out of the target wall. The ring was a small arrow formed into a circle and on the center of the thin golden arrow was a small green emerald. "Arrowtech… what…?"

Arrowtech smiled. It wasn't easy for him to surprise her, or even confuse her at all, but when he did, he felt like he had won a great victory. "I was wondering if you'd marry me…" He was still a little nervous about her response though.

She looked from the ring to her sidekick, tears flowing from her jade green eyes. She slowly put the ring on, surprised that it fit over her glove's finger perfectly, and smiled. "Yes."
