Another dull and mind numbing day was taking place in the Clock Town Hall as the mayor's secretary stared boredly at her desk, contemplating the mountain of half-finished paperwork that lay before her.

"Ohmigosh, this is like, soooo boring!" She groaned "I haven't had any stimulation in like, the last 10 minutes!"

At first, she loved her do-nothing job which mostly entailed telling people which way the mayor's office was, (and the financial security provided by the government payroll was certainly a bonus) but with the recent economic downturn ravaging the city, reports of all types were being sent to the office for her to file. Basically, she was dismayed to find that she had to actually work.

Little did she know, however, that an exuberant light was about to shine on her uneventful day.

"TINGLE, TINGLE, KOOLOO-LIMPAH!"

The front doors swung open as our hero Tingle made his flashy entrance. The secretary could only stare as the paunchy manchild brazenly strode his way towards his bride-to-be.

"Excuse me, but you're like, banned and stuff!" The receptionist scolded "You literally can't be here!"

Tingle, caught up in the joys of blooming romance, failed to even hear this warning as he finished his confident march up to the desk and presented his hand.

"Oh lucky, lucky are you, my good lady!" He chirped "For on this day, Tingle has chosen you to be his wife!"

There was then a pause in time as the bewildered maiden digested this sudden offer. The air was tense and silent for a while, making Tingle's legs begin to wobble. Fortunately, having nailed both the introduction and proposal, he was finally relieved of this horrid tension when he quickly found himself in the embrace of the overworked bachelorette.

"Oh Tingle!" she sang "You're like, my prince on a white horse or something! I'm ready to give up my life of shallow dopamine rushes and embrace true fulfillment in making your dinner for the rest of my life! Unironically!"

And that was it. Tingle and the green haired secretary were shortly thereafter wed and off to begin the rest of their lives. They would live together in a quiet and secluded cabin by the beachside with their numerous children. They never argued, and any hardships they faced, they faced together, coming out stronger from every obstacle overcome. Their happy, healthy lives continued until they peacefully departed together into the next world with no regrets in their long lives.

...okay, okay, I'll stop.

THUD!

So what really happened was, Tingle found his face planted against the stone pavement outside the town hall; in the middle of his fantasizing, he had been tossed right out the door by security.

"How peculiar." Tingle mused as he dusted himself off and carried on down the street; he never could have imagined things turning out such a way, what with all of his careful planning, but he was already certain that this incident was nothing more than a freak outlier in a sea of ripe prospects.

Concluding that the girl must have already had a husband, Tingle regained the spring in his step and continued the hunt.
