2. Mayhem in Melbourne

Once I had arrived in Melbourne, I was going through all the streets, catching trams and taxis whatsoever, looking for a place to stay. I couldn't find anywhere to live. Unexpectedly, I heard a familiar voice call out, 'Darling! Where are you?

Oh, no! It was the Corpse Bride! How did she even know I came to that city? On second thought, how did she get there so fast? So I quickly headed for an apartment to stay in. I asked the counter for a suite. Then, after an agreement, I caught an elevator to head for the room I would be staying in. Once I arrived, I relaxed on the couch, sighing with relief.

'Safe at last,' I remarked to myself.

So then, I started unpacking my entire luggage along with bits and pieces to last me a life-time. The other items I took with me (for example; TV, couch, bed etc) were all left in a secret tunnel that I knew. So when I decide to buy my own house, I will bring all those things with me.

When I had finished unpacking my stuff, I sat back on my couch and grabbed the tv remote. I switched the television on that had revealed a comedy show. I laughed madly.

'I love this show!' I cried.

'So do I,' said a voice softly.

I gasped and turned to my left-hand side. The Corpse Bride was sitting next to me!

'You're so quiet,' I remarked.

'That's because I am mysteriously magical,' said the Corpse Bride.

'Why are you even after me?'

'Because you said your vows so perfectly. And we shall finish off our marriage. But before that; where is my ring?' She was raging with anger at that moment.

I humphed. Then lied, 'I have no idea what happened to it.' Because my ring was actually hidden in my pocket. I was also hoping that the Corpse Bride wouldn't figure it out herself.

'Darling, if you don't give me the ring, I am going to snatch it off you!'

'Oh, but I swear: I haven't got it with me!' I tried explaining the lie, but she refused to believe me.

'Oh, but it won't hurt, will it?' The Corpse Bride was softening now.

So I just ran out onto the balcony. I paused and looked down at the ground below. It was so high I didn't even want to look at it. If I looked down I might feel like falling until it eventually comes true. So, to get back to the story, the Corpse Bride was lunging down on me slowly.

'Even if I don't have your ring at the moment,' she said, 'you will kiss me.'

Before she was able to raise her lips to mine, I ducked down and lifted the Corpse Bride over my shoulders and out over the balcony. I then heard her screaming. So I checked over the balcony to see her falling towards the ground. I knew she wasn't going to get hurt because she was already dead. I looked away from the balcony. I didn't even hear a thud after a few moments.

'Shouldn't she hit the ground by now?' I wondered to myself.

I stared down the balcony once again to see that the Corpse Bride was not shown nor did she even appear at all. I turned back around and there she was; in front of me.

'I'm still here,' she said quickly, then said a bit slower this time, 'and where abouts were we?'

'Nowhere!' I retorted, grabbing the Corpse Bride by the waist and hauled her off the balcony again.

There was no time to lose. So I had to repack my luggage and other goods I would need. Before I was about to leave, I payed the counter some money. I headed back to the airport to book another flight. Because this time, I was going something even further.

I was going to book to go to Hong Kong. But first, before I was able to book for Hong Kong, I realised that it was too far off and too expensive to pay for. So first I had to stop at Bali (an island in Indonesia). Once I had arrived at the Bali airport, I booked to go to Hong Kong, then that is where I had arrived.
