Daria's birthday party was just getting started. She was wearing a beautiful long ballroom dress in a pink shade to match her fiance's pink fancy tuxedo. Another thing that her father insisted on. He decided that to announce the official engagement to all their guests the couple should repeat the whole process in front of them. He even makes them rehearse the whole beat of asking her hand and her accepting the ring a few times.

- Remember son, this must be absolutely perfect. - as your bride says yes, you grab her hoof and kiss it and lead ther to the first waltz. - He was instructing.- I will broadcast the whole thing on radio so we can inform all Hell about your union.

- Geez, Al, we've been over this! Like 10 times already! - He said. - Also, stop calling me "son", this is creepy.

- Nonsense! - Alastor replaied. - In fact I expect you to call me father soon~!

- The fuck? No way, Al.

- Well, suck it up, son, my in-laws are about 80 years younger than me and I still wouldn't disrespect them like that.

- You're in-laws have no idea their son-in- law is a demon from the 1930-s, do they?

- Well, I'm working on this. - Alastor said. - We plan to reunite the whole living family of Niffty so I started making deals some time I think I had to hurry up. We don't want grandma to miss your wedding day, now, don't we, deerie? - he winked.

- Please, don't tell me you plan to kill our entire family so they don't miss my wedding!? - Daria was horrified, sometimes moments like that remind her she was living with a serial killer.

- Not entire, I think we all agree cousin Roger is out of the question! Hmph! I bet he would not even bother to think of killing me if it was his daughter's wedding .

Spider demon visibly cringes at the idea of this "reunion", and decides to change the subject. He jokingly looked at Daria.

- And why is she the only one with a dress? I like it too.

- Ok, fine. - Stag snapped his fingers. And now Tony was the one in a small doe size dress, and Daria was in his oversized tux.

- Dad! - She yelped.

- You two look stunning. - Radio Demon smiled.

- Give me back my outfit, unc… Tony! - She angrily stated.

- Fine, it's too small anyway. - He delicately takes it off to not rip the silk.

- I will work on something more femine for you, as the wedding day arrives. Anthony. - He apologized. - But I still appreciate it if you enter the ceremony in a traditional suit. Color will be to your liking.

- Why are you taking all those wedding preparations on yourself, anyway? - He asked.

- Well, for once, this is for my Daria, of course, I don't want you two to stress out just because I scheduled the wedding for next week. All the preparations are on me!

- Oh, that is so nice of you, dad… NEXT WEEK!? - Daria realised.

Angel Dust looked at him. He knew Al was not the type to waste any time, but damn!

- Yes! We can't let true love wait, right? And king Lucifer told me he's only free next saturday, so I had no choice… - He quickly brushes off that detail with a nervous laugh.- As they say, a deal is the best when prey doesn't have time to prepare…

- Wait, aren't we the prey in that case? - Daria noticed.

- And today most of the people I want for your wedding are already here, so you don't have to worry about sending wedding invitations! We will just hand them down during this party. Isn't that smart of me?

Alastor hummed, rotating his microphone and stepped down from the Daria's room, to go to the guest's waiting at the ballroom of the mansion.

- Do you mind? - Daria asked. - I want to change into my dress again.

- Not at all. - Tony sat down on her bed.

Daria sent him a glare.

- Ok, ok, I was joking, "wife".

Spider left her dresser and took his tuxedo to get to the bathroom.

Few minutes later they heard how Alastor was calling Daria on stage. This was their cue. After she enters, the groom would go after her and officially proposes as they rehearse.

Alastor took off the stage to stand next to guests and see their dance.

Anthony was kneeling down and taking a small box with the ring Daria wore once a few days ago.

- You're the most delicate flower. The beautiful doe in a forest of my dreams… - Ugh, Alastor's writing was so stupid… - With permission given to me by your parents, I dare to ask... Will you marry me, Daria Basco?

She put a fake, wide smile on her face and cheerfully stated.

- It will be my pleasure. I wish nothing more in my life to be your wife.

"Really dad?" - she thought.

- Shall we dance?

Crowd went silent, instead of cheering as Alastor expected. He looked at the first row of guests and frowned a bit. Few demons started to clap, and then more joined in in case Alastor was watching them too. Ah, that's better.

- Al, what is going on? - Charlie looked at him with shock.

- Yeah, did you brainwash them or something? - Vaggie added.

- Don't be silly, he himself asked me for her hand. - Alastor couldn't help feeling insulted. - And you know I have nothing but respect for my daughter's choices.

- Niffty? - Vaggie asked.

- Well, as unbelievable as it sounds, it seems they both want it, so we can only bless their union.

Two ladies look in complete shock at their spider friend taking a hoof of young doe and leading her to dance. The music started to play as the two spun around.
