What Beavis did not know was that his World would soon come crashing down, on him. He walked over to Deidra's house one Saturday to see her writing something in a notebook.
"Hey, babe!" The blond happily greeted his girlfriend.
"Whatcha doin'?" He questioned with a tilt of his head.
"Writing a list of my dreams…" Deidra replied, not looking up from her list.
"Cool! Heh-heh!" Beavis leaned over to read a few. Deidra crossed one of those dreams off the list: befriend someone I hate. She did that with Butthead.
Her other dreams were to be in two places at once, get a tattoo, and get married in the church where her mother grew up. She crossed out the getting married one as she knew that that would most-likley never happen. Though Beavis knew why Deidra had crossed out her dream to get married, he still held onto the hope that she would miraculously overcome her Cancer and live that dream one day. She stopped writing for a minute and shrugged.
"All these dreams are hopeless anyway…" She sighed.
"Don't say that; there's still a chance you might...ya know?" Beavis hinted at the fact that she might live.
"I don't know, Beavis…" Deidra replied, looking down at her body.
"I've lost some weight and I just feel tired. Really tired…" She sighed.
"Well, we could always turn that list of dreams into a bucket-list." Beavis suggested, trying to remain optimistic. Deidra smiled at the thought.
"You know? We should! Where should we start?" She asked as she looked over her list.
"Uh...um..." Beavis bit his bottom-lip as he took a few minutes to think about it.
"I think we should start with the get married one, hm-hm-heh..." He suggested as that seemed to be the most important one to him. Deidra looked at him as if to ask if he was serious.
"You really want to marry me?" She asked.
"I do..." Beavis nodded, using a serious tone for the first time. Deidra sat there, unable to speak for a moment or two. Finally she managed to gasp out
"But we're only fifteen!" She shouted.
"So? Heh-heh..." Beavis questioned.
"The legal marriage age is eighteen…" Deidra replied sadly.
"Butthead's Mom's current boyfriend was a minister! I could prob'ly convince him to marry us! Hm-hm-heh!" Beavis remembered with excitement. Deidra's face shined with excitement as well but only for a moment.
"My dad will kill me…" She sighed as if her dream had been shattered.
"You're gonna die anyway, hm-hm-heh..." Beavis reminded. Deidra looked shocked and hurt.
"Gee, thanks Beavis…" Without looking at him, she ran upstairs to her bedroom, in tears.
"Deidra, wait! I didn't mean it like that!" Beavis attempted to call out to her.
"GrrrrrAAAAAAA! Stupid!" Beavis pounded his head with his fist a few times before turning toward the door. He glanced up at the staircase one, final time before deciding to finally leave. Butthead was sitting on the couch, throwing cheddar and sour-cream chips into the air, trying to catch them in his mouth when Beavis walked in.
"Where were you, buttdumpling? Uh-huh-huh" Butthead asked.
"I don't wanna talk about it..." Beavis replied in a defeated tone.
"Uhhhh…okay? Uh-huh-huh…" Butthead replied, going back to trying to catch chips in his mouth yet failing over and over again. Beavis quietly took his usual seat on the couch, remaining silent as he shamefully stared down at his lap. He hated himself. No matter how hard he tried, he always ruined everything.
Now, Deidra would probably die angry with him. Deidra laid on her bed, tears streaming down her face but she had calmed down a little. She loved Beavis but what he said to her was terrible. Did she really want to marry him? She was not sure. Deidra's thoughts were interrupted by a knock at her window.
Jumping at the sudden noise, Deidra ran over to her window.
"Beavis! Wh-What are you doing here?" She gasped, opening it and leaning her arms on the window-sill.
"Listen Deidra, I didn't mean that the way it sounded...I like...say things wrong sometimes, hm-hm-heh...I was tryin' to say what Bon Jovi said best: it's your life, it's now or never and you're not gonna live forever so you should try to live while you're alive..." Beavis explained himself as well as his mind would allow him to before pulling out the diamond ring he had stolen from Butthead's Mom's jewelry box from behind his back.
"A-Are you sure you wanna do this?" Deidra asked softly, looking at the ring, then back up, at Beavis. She still could not believe this was happening.
"I've never been more sure about anything in my life, hm-hm-heh!" Beavis reassured with a determined tone.
"In fact, when you do die, I'm gonna recreate that play we were in, hm-hm-heh..." He added.
"You mean..." Deidra gasped, eyes wide. Beavis nodded to confirm her thoughts.
"Oh Beavis, no! I-I don't want you to do that to yourself!" Deidra cried.
"I would rather do that than live my life without you..." Beavis insisted. Tears filled Deidra's eyes again as she smiled, cupping the side of Beavis' face with her hand.
"Yes, I will marry you…" She agreed before softly kissing his lips.
"Oh, Deidra..." Beavis' eyes began to tear up as well as he slipped the ring onto her finger. Letting her tears fall freely now, Deidra cupped Beavis' face in her hands, kissing him passionately. Beavis just as passionately returned the kiss as he wrapped his arms around her.
"We have to start planning! You'll have to get Butthead's Mom's boyfriend to marry us!" Deidra exclaimed as she climbed out of the window.
"He's already at the church, we just need to get there, mm-heh-heh..." Beavis explained. He had been prepared for once.
"Let's go!" Deidra cried happily. Beavis smiled as he lead Deidra to the church, where Butthead's Mom's boyfriend was already waiting for them.
"Now?" Deidra gasped in shock.
"You want to get married now?" She did not have a dress or flowers!
"Yep! Right now, heh-heh!" Beavis excitedly nodded.
"But what about your ring? A-And our parents. They'd probably wanna be here a-and Butthead! Plus, we have no music, food, cake...all kinds of things." Deidra pointed out.
"All we need is each other..." Beavis reassured as he caressed her cheeks gently. It was just like the play.
"You're right…" Deidra agreed with a smile. Taking Beavis' hand in hers, she walked down the aisle with him, in front of where Butthead's Mother's boyfriend stood.
"Do you, Bobby Beavis take Deidra Long to be your lawful, wedded wife?" Butthead's Mom's boyfriend questioned.
"I do! Heh-heh!" Beavis happily agreed.
"And do you, Deidra Long take Bobby Beavis to be your lawful, wedded husband?" The man then asked Deidra.
"I do…" Deidra happily replied, still unable to believe this was happening.
"By the power invested in me by the state of Missouri, I now pronounce you, husband and wife! You may now kiss the bride!" Butthead's Mom's boyfriend finished the ceremony as Beavis leaned in to kiss Deidra on the lips.
"I've never been so happy in all my life!" Deidra exclaimed as she and Beavis walked to his trailer for the night.
"Yeah! Yeah! Me too! Heh-heh!" Beavis happily agreed.
"Wanna get something to eat?" Deidra asked, hearing her stomach growl with hunger.
"Um...okay!" Beavis excitedly agreed. Their marriage did call for a celebration after all.
"Where do you wanna go?" Deidra asked, thinking of all the restaurants around their area.
"Wanna get some nachos?" Beavis questioned as Burger World and the Maxi-Mart were the only two places he and Butthead ever got food from.
"Sure!" Deidra eagerly answered, her mouth watering at the thought of nachos. In the Maxi-Mart, Beavis' eyes grew wide as he looked at all the food his new wife had picked out: an extra-large order of nachos, a hot dog, and a bag of chips.
"Because of the cancer, it's hard to eat much of anything…" Deidra explained, hearing her stomach growl again.
"I can see that, heh-heh..." Beavis let out a nervous chuckle. He was so glad that he had decided to save up the money Tom Anderson had awarded him for the yard-work he had done for him as he payed for all the food.
"That was great, sweetie!" Deidra grinned as they walked back to Beavis' trailer. She pulled out a candy-bar from her jeans' pocket and began unwrapping it, biting into it. She bought it before she and Beavis left the Maxi-Mart.
"Heh-heh, yeah!" Beavis agreed. Once they had arrived at Beavis' trailer, the two laid on the couch and began watching T.V. to relax. Beavis wrapped his arm around Deidra, pulling her into his warm, comforting embrace. Deidra kissed the back of his hand before leaning up, against him.
"Anything special you wanna do tonight?" She asked him with a playful smirk.
"After all, it IS our wedding night…" She flirted.
"Heh-heh, my Mom like...won't be home at all tonight...Hm-hm-heh..." Beavis snickered suggestively. Deidra purred seductively as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him lovingly. The next morning, Beavis slowly opened his eyes. He and Deidra ended up falling asleep in his bed.
Beavis smiled down at his wife lovingly as he delivered a gentle kiss to her forehead. Stirring under his touch, Deidra slowly opened her eyes, smiling up at her husband.
"Hey cutie…" She greeted him softly. She was about to lean up and kiss him in return when she fell back against her pillows from the aching-pain in her stomach.
"D-Deidra?! What's wrong?!" Beavis immediately began to panic, assuming the worst.
"It's okay, Beavis…" She reassured, placing a hand on her bloated-stomach.
"Ow…I-I think I just ate a bit too much last night and now I have a bad stomach-ache." She explained. Beavis let out a sigh of relief.
"Don't scare me like that..." He gently began to rub her stomach.
"I'm sorry, baby…" Deidra apologized softly as she leaned back and closed her eyes, relaxing under her husband's touch.
"I-I guess I shouldn't have had that chocolate shake but I was so, so hungry and now…" She paused.
"Now, I never wanna eat again!" She wined.
"I know that feelin', heh-heh..." Beavis chuckled at the memory of the time that he had eaten so many nachos that he actually began to believe he was pregnant. Maybe there were things Deidra never needed to know about him.
