Chapter One:
It was a bright afternoon on Christmas Eve in the park and Horace was walking through the snow to meet up with Clarabelle, he was holding a tiny box in his left hand. He stopped and turned to make sure no one was around, when he didn't see any one he opened the box and smiled. When he heard something he quickly closed the box and hid it in his jacket pocket. Five minutes passed and soon he finally made it. Clarabelle was sitting a at bench admiring the winter view, Horace walked up to her and embraced her and sat down next to her. Horace couldn't help turning bright red sitting right next to her. About an hour passed and he finally decided it was time.
"um Clarabelle, there's somethin' I wanted to ask you." He said nervously.
He got up from the bench and kneeled down, Horace pulled the little box out of his jacket pocket. All of a sudden he began to shake from being too nervous.
"Horace I think you got the nerves again." Clarabelle giggled.
"Really?"
"Yes Horace."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm pretty sure."
"You're not pullin' my leg ?"
"Nope."
"Don't fool with me like that!" Horace shouted.
"What do you mean! You're trembling like a wet puppy. I'm not blind y'know!" Clarabelle replied angerly.
Horace eventually stopped trembling and apologized, he was ready. He looked around to make sure no one was aiming a "cupid's" arrow at him. So finally he cleared his throat.
"Clarabelle I know I asked this before and I disappeared before it happened too." Horace said becoming completely nervous again. But before he could even ask, Oswald was walking by taking Pluto out for walk since Mickey was helping Minnie set up for a christmas party that was planned for the evening.
"Hey Horace, Hi Clarabelle what's up?"
There was no answer. Horace will still trying to finish his sentence.
"I know it's Christmas Eve, but I thought I'd I give you your gift a little early." He blushed.
"Horace, are you okay? Yoo Hoo!" Oswald called out.
Still no answer. Oswald decided to get Horace's attention another way, he unhooked Pluto's leash. Oswald told Pluto go get Horace. Pluto ran fast to Horace and tackled him, knocking over the box. Luckily it landed on Clarabelle's lap. Pluto kept licking Horace's face, Horace got up. He seemed pretty irrate.
"Oh for gosh sakes Oswald! Can't a guy make a proposal to his girlfriend!" Horace yelled. Realizing Clarabelle was right next to him he slapped his hands over his mouth.
Clarabelle pick up the little box and opened it. Inside was ring, but this ring was no regular ring. In fact it was an engagement ring. She looked down at Horace who mumbling to himself.
"Jeeze Horace, sorry for ruining your chance to pop the question." Oswald said feeling guilty.
"Oh no Oswald, no he didn't." Clarabelle said smiling.
" R-really ?" Horace was stunned.
"Horace do you know how long I was waiting for? Well here's my answer."
Clarabelle kissed him on the lips, which made Horace blush bright red. He could feel his heart beating really fast. Oswald and Pluto just stood there stunned.
"Oswald she said 'Yes!'" He said so happy, it was like if he won a million dollars.
"Well don't that beat all." Oswald said scratching his head.
