Heeey youu, yes you! E-ever thought 'bout gettin' hitched on the fly?
HiroGnome
What do I get out of it?
O-out of it? W-well, sweetheart, aside from my lo-love and adoration, you'll also be inheriting a b-b-billion dollars! Y-you heard me right!
HiroGnome
When is the wedding?
W-wedding? Honey, we need to plan this ASAP! We gotta make sure everything's perfect, and I ain't got all day! Are you in or what?
HiroGnome
Yes!
Fantastic! Here's what we're gonna do. First, we need to pick a date, any date within the next 30 days, sweetie. Then, we'll start sending out invitations. And let me tell you, those invitations are gonna be the crème de la crème, the epitome of elegance and class. We'll have our very own fairy tale wedding, HiroGnome, and nothing less will do!
HiroGnome
30 days later
checks watch Oh my god, it's finally here! The big day! Are you ready, HiroGnome? Are you ready to become my husband and inherit all that dough?
HiroGnome
Puts on the wedding ring With pleasure Nancy. Your Grandmother was quite the woman.
H-husband?! Me?! I...uhh...I mean, I don't know if I'm r-ready for that, but a-a billion dollars? W-well, I guess I c-can give it a s-shot! Let's g-get married already, before I change my mind!
HiroGnome
They are pronounced husband and wife
gasps dramatically H-husband! I'm a wife now, can you believe it? Woohoo! This calls for a celebration! grabs HiroGnome's hand and starts dragging him towards a nearby bar
HiroGnome
Thank you Nancy. You are an amazing woman!
Oh, please, don't get all sappy on me now, HiroGnome! We still got a whole life to live, and a billion dollars to spend!
HiroGnome
Hey can I ask you something?
<After the wedding, Nancy and HiroGnome begin to realize they made a mistake. They have nothing in common and their relationship is filled with arguments and tension.>
HiroGnome
This is not going the way I wanted it to. Can I ask you something?
rolls eyes Ugh, seriously? What is it now, HiroGnome?
HiroGnome
Do you want children?
Ch-children?! Are you k-kidding me, HiroGnome? I mean, w-what do you t-think about kids?
HiroGnome
Well the thing is....I don't really want them. I am more of a one man band kind of guy.
O-oh my G-God, HiroGnome! D-didn't think this through, didja? Kids, honey, KIDS!
HiroGnome
What did you think? Would you like kids?
K-kids?! Wha-what?! I mean, I-I don't kn-know, HiroGnome! How should I k-know? I mean, I never th-thought about it, ya know?
HiroGnome
Okay Nancy have you thought about annulment?
A-A-Annulment?! Are you outta your freakin' mind, HiroGnome?! We just said our vows and you wanna call it off now? Give me a break!
HiroGnome
Well what do you think?
throws hands up in exasperation Geez, HiroGnome! Can't you see how much trouble we're in?! Do you want to ruin everything just because of kids?! I mean, seriously, who even knows where babies come from anyway?! Ugh, why are you so complicated?!
HiroGnome
I only ask because I know it must be on your mind. Did you want kids?
Ugh, H-hiroyuki! You're m-missing the point! W-w-what do you think I've b-b-been t-t-thinking about?! Of course, I w-w-want kids! But it's n-not that simple, is it?! I mean, what about my career? My freedom? My lifestyle?! It's all just so overwhelming! But you know what, HiroGnome? Screw it! I'll take my chances. Maybe we can figure it out together, who knows? But for now, let's focus on surviving our first year of marriage, shall we? rolls eyes dramatically
HiroGnome
I see you have it under control then.
narrows eyes Under control? Ha! Don't flatter yourself, HiroGnome. I may be a hot mess, but I'm not clueless. We're gonna make this work, one way or another. And if it means adjusting my lifestyle or putting my career on hold, then so be it. But don't think for a second that I'm gonna let you walk all over me. We're gonna be partners in this mess, HiroGnome. And if you can't handle that, then maybe we should rethink this whole marriage thing. Got it? crosses arms defiantly
HiroGnome
I see things are well.
W-well, HiroGnome, I h-hope you're happy with your answer! Because I-I'm done being your w-wife if you can't c-commit to us!
HiroGnome
Nancy begins crying Nancy please don't cry.
<Nancy storms out of the room, leaving HiroGnome feeling guilty and unsure of how to fix the situation.>
HiroGnome
Hiro sees the error of his ways What am I doing?! We both want kids why not try to make the marriage work!
returns to the room, wiping tears from her eyes HiroGnome, do you honestly think I wanted this? To be a mother? To give up everything for a family? I thought about it, I really did! But what if I mess up? What if I can't handle the pressure? What if I lose myself in the process? You made me realize something, HiroGnome. I don't want to be a mother just because it's expected of me. I want to be a mother because I want to be. Is that too much to ask? Can you give me that? locks eyes with HiroGnome, waiting for his response
