***********************************************************************************************

The world slowly came into focus for the young girl as she slowly opened her eyes. A chattering of voices filled the air as her hearing came into focus.

First thing seeing a skeleton man in a suit with a curly mustache and a worried-looking Corpse Groom.

"A new arrival!" The posh skeleton man joyously said. Y/n blinked and suddenly everything in her vision became much clearer.

Though it made no sense. It was utterly baffling.

Two more dead people were behind the skeleton man and the corpse groom. " She must've fainted," The young groom said as he leaned closer to her face with a touch of fear in his features. He gently grabbed the nape of her neck and lifted her head up. "Are you alright?"

You looked at him, eyes wide as you breathed heavily. " Wha...whatareyou-"

The skeleton man shoved the groom aside. "By jove man! Looks like we have ourselves a breather!" An old chef man, who was completely blue in the face, was the next one to shove into her view. " Does she have a dead sister?" After looking her over. A small skeleton boy jumped up, touching her with his cold, bony fingers. "She's still soft!" His nasal voice spoke. You looked at them, petrified. You crawled backwards, bumping into a bar. The corpse groom watched all this unfold as he stood, quietly watching you with an unexplainable face.

You slowly stood up, your back to the liquor bar behind you.

"A toast, to the newlyweds!"

You spun around to see a very short-looking skeleton man with a sword in his torso, attempting to down a beer. He clinked with his taller skeleton friend, who had a huge gaping hole in his chest. " To the newlyweds!" The short man said again.

The last word finally registered in your brain.

" W-WAIT! Newlyweds?!" You gasped. The young groom- your husband- gently grabbed your shoulder. He spun himself around behind you, a lovestruck look on his face. " W-Well... back there in the woods, you...said your vows. And, wow were they perfect." He chuckled a lovesick chuckle as he took your hand in his own, showing you the ring you had bestowed on him.

" I-I did?" You gaped, confused. The boy nodded with a small smile.

" I did." You looked up, this couldn't be real. You banged your head on the bar surface. " WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!"

"Bonjour!" You heard a voice say. You looked up to see a severed head, being carried by spiders and beetles toward you. "Coming'z through, coming'z through!" He called out. You stared at him in shock. How was this severed head talking?

" Heghlo, my name is Paulz and i am 'ze waiter, ahahah!" He said with his thick accent as he hiccuped.

" I will be creating your z'wedding feast!" He said joyously. Just then, the Corpse Groom's left eye popped out. A worm came through his eye socket. And spoke.

" When is the feast? I'm salivating!" His creepy voice said. The corpse boy quickly put his eyeball back in as you gasped in horror. His face was apologetic and nervous.

" Apologies. maggots, aha~" He awkwardly said as he looked to the side with an embarrassed smile.

"Oh!" You exclaimed as you backed away, this was all too much. Where were you? How did you get here? WHY WERE YOU MARRIED TO A CORPSE? HOW WERE ALL OF THESE DEAD PEOPLE ALIVE?

Your breath quickened as you backed away more. You saw one of the military skeletons again, you quickly picked the short one up by the sword in his stomach. " Enough! I-I have some answers that need questions!" You yelled as everyone gasped and stopped what they were doing.

" I think you mean questions that need answers." The skeleton you were holding said.

" Ah yes thank you. I have some questions that need answers! What's going on here? Where am I? Who are you!?" You called out. The corpse groom gently stepped forward with a sheepish smile.

" Well...that's kind of a long story." He said as he rubbed the back of his neck.

" AND WHAT A STORY IT IS!" A rough voice said as you all looked to see a skeleton man leaning against the wall in a spotlight, wearing a bowler hat. He had one eyeball that rolled side to side in both of his eye sockets in his skull. " A tragic tale between romance, passion, and murder most foul." His low gritty voice said.

" This is gonna be good." The short skeleton you were still holding said excitedly. "Oh!" You exclaimed as you dropped him quickly, having forgotten you were holding him.

" Hit it boys." The bowler hat skeleton said. Suddenly music started. A xylophone played, joined by a piano, and soon the whole band.

" Hey! Give me a listen you corpses of cheer

At least those of you who still got an ear,

I'll tell you a story that'll make a skeleton cry

Of our own jubiliciously handsome corpse boy~" The skeleton sang as the spotlight shined on your corpse groom, who stood in the spotlight looking shy as he rubbed his arm sheepishly with a small smile.

The dead people all sang the chorus.

" Die, die we all pass away

But don't wear a frown 'cause it's really okay

And you might try and hide

And you might try and pray

But we all end up the remains of the day!"

You watched with a blank face as you stood between the two military skeletons, both dancing side to side with their beer cups. The skeleton backup singers sang out

" Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (that's right)

Yeah yeah yeah"

The corpse groom as he stood on stage, looking down shyly as the bowler hat skeleton danced and made shadow puppets on the wall, showing the story of what happened as he sang.

" Wellll our boy is a beauty known for miles around,

When a mysterious stranger came into town..

She's plenty good-looking, but down on her cash

And our poor little baby, he fell hard and fast

When his daddy said no, he just couldn't cope

So our lovers came up with a plan to elope.."

You now stood between two dead zombielike people as they each wrapped their arms around your shoulders, dancing side to side as they all sang the chorus. You grimaced.

" Die, die we all pass away

But don't wear a frown 'cause it's really okay

And you might try and hide

And you might try and pray

But we all end up the remains of the day!"

The bowler hat skeleton suddenly grabbed your hand and spun you into him, twirling you around against your will and dancing with you.

" Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah!"

Your h/c hair flew as he spun you, he scatted as the band did a music break.

" Oh, that's right.

Okay. Oh, yeah."

You were spun again as you landed smoothly on a stool, dizzy by how fast of a dancer he was. The corpse groom came up to you and offered you a hand, his faded blue eyes shined as he smiled. You made a small smile as you took it, he gracefully spun you as his black hair shined in the spotlight.

" Come on, boys, pick it up.

Yeah. Like it.

Okay, Chancy, take it.

Yeah."

" You know, I've forgotten to ask for your name." The teenage groom said as he danced with you.

" Y/n!" You called an answer to him over the jazz solo music.

" Yeah! That's nice

Yeah!"

The bowler hat skeleton went back to the stage and started making shadow puppets again, telling more of the story.

" So they conjured up a plan to meet late at night

They told not a soul, kept the whole thing tight

Now, his father's wedding suit fit like a glove,

You don't need much when you're really in love~

Except for a few things, or some told

Like the royal family's jewels and a satchel of gold!"

The shadows showed a young teenage boy figure trying on a suit and fixing his tie, a woman with long hair had her back turned as the boy took a bag of gold while she wasn't looking. It next showed him with the bag under a tree.

" Then next to the graveyard by the old oak tree-

On a dark foggy night at a quarter to three!

He was ready to go, but where was she??"

The undead people were on the edge of their seats, and so were you. What had happened?

" And then?" The people asked.

" He waited." The bowler hat skeleton answered suspensefully.

" And THEN?" You asked. The teenage boys shadow looked around, hearing something nearby before vaguely seeing something.

" There in the shadows, was it his woman?"

" AND THEN??" You and the people asked desperately.

" His little heart beat so loud!" As it showed the teenage shadow boy calling out, asking who was there.

" AND THEN?"

"....And then baby, everything- went black..." As it showed a monster engulf the boy in darkness as he screamed.

The lights came back on as everyone danced.

" Now when he opened her eyes he was dead as dust

His jewels were missing and his heart was bust

So he made a vow lying under that tree!

That he'd wait for his true love to come set him free!

Always waiting for someone to ask for his hand!

When out of the blue comes this groovy young maiden

Who vows forever to be by his side!

And that's the story of our own corpse groom!" The skeleton man belted as you stood between the undead people who were singing the chorus.

" Die, die we all pass away!

But don't wear a frown 'cause it's really okay!

And you might try and hide-

And you might try and pray!

But we all end up the remains of the day!"

The corpse groom looked around for you as the song ended, you were sneaking out the door. And then you were gone.
