Wally's pov

I sat in an open coffin noticing that there was a bouquet of flowers nearby; picking them up I saw the flower language it spoke making me fill up with sorrow "roses for eternal love, lilies for sweetness, baby's breath" I sight before throwing the flowers on the ground in anger "why so blue?" I turned to see Sally sitting next to me rubbing my back "maybe Gold's right, maybe we are too different" I was sadden by that fact "maybe they would like their head examined" home said as I forcefully pulled him out from my ear "I could do it" Home continued "or perhaps they do belong with him, Mr. Living with those rosey cheeks and beating heart" I said with jealousy 'like really what do they see in him or... maybe I was quick to conclusions but still!' I thought of what happened more clearly "oh, those boys are just ten a penny, you've got so much more, you've got-you've got-you've got a wonderful personality" Sally stuttered.

🎶 What does that that wispy little brat have that you don't have double 🎶

🎶 He can't hold a candle to the beauty of your smile 🎶

Sally started to chime in

🎶 How about a pulse? 🎶

I placed Home down harshly while thinking of Gold with that man.

🎶 Overrated by a mile 🎶

🎶 Overfed 🎶

🎶 Overblown 🎶

🎶 If they only knew the you that we know 🎶

I scoffed

🎶 And that silly little creature isn't wearing their ring 🎶

Sally lifted my hand with the ring.

🎶 And he doesn't play piano 🎶

🎶 Or dance 🎶

My mind went to me and Gold dancing.

🎶 Or sing 🎶

🎶 No he doesn't compare 🎶

🎶 But he still breath air 🎶

🎶 Who cares? 🎶

🎶 Unimportant 🎶

🎶 Overrated 🎶

🎶 Overblown 🎶

🎶 If only they could see 🎶

🎶 How special you can be 🎶

🎶 If they only knew the you that we know 🎶

I stood up slowly.

🎶 If I touch a burning candle I can feel no

pain 🎶

🎶 If you cut me with a knife it's all the same 🎶

I get to the door.

🎶 And I know their heart is beating 🎶

🎶 And I know that I am dead 🎶

I slowly slid down the door I was leaning on.

🎶 Yet the pain here that I feel 🎶

🎶 Try and tell me it's not real 🎶

🎶 It seems that I still have a tear to shed 🎶

I scurled up a bit before Sally picked me up.

🎶 The sure redeeming feature 🎶

🎶 From that little creature 🎶

🎶 Is that he's alive 🎶

She spun me around.

🎶 Overrated 🎶

🎶 Overblown 🎶

🎶 If only they could see 🎶

🎶 How special you can be 🎶

🎶 If they only knew the you that we know 🎶

She let me go as I started to walk back to the coffin.

🎶 If I touch a burning candle I can feel no

pain 🎶

🎶 In the ice or in the sun it's all the same 🎶

🎶 Yet I feel my heart aching 🎶

🎶 Though it doesn't beat it's breaking 🎶

🎶 And the pain that I feel 🎶

🎶 Try and tell me it's not real 🎶

🎶 I know that I am dead 🎶

🎶 Yet it seems that I still have some tears to

shed 🎶

I laid down as a single tear slid down my face, Sally and Home tried to comfort me in my sorrow not realizing that a certain cat took the bouquet.

Gold's pov

I was at the same ledge where me and Wally first shared names; laying down on the seat as I hugged myself looking at the view.

I had finally calmed down when I heard a 'meow' looking down to see Rascal with a bouquet of flowers in front of him before he nudged it with his head towards me. I sat up before grabbing the bouquet of flowers and inspected each and every one of them before Rascal hopped up "...why couldn't I just do what I was told..."I whispered as I kept looking at the flowers "If I had just done what I was told then no one would have been hurt, everyone would have been happy" I picked out a lily knowing that Rascal was there to listen.

"... but then you wouldn't have been happy" I froze not believing the voice that spoke, the same that belonged to..... "...Jewel?"

I looked in disbelief, she was there even if blue she looked the same as she did all those years ago. She gave me a warm smile, a smile that had never changed, I tackled her into a hug "...big sister..." I felt myself weeping again and tried to stop it as she hugged me back, rubbing my head. "oh, Gold let it out, I'm here now" she hugged me tighter causing me to cry harder "that's it, there you go, good job" she rubbed my head more helping me calm down as I slowly let her go "now tell me what happened" gently grabbing my face as I nodded.

I started to explain everything, not skipping any details as Jewel listened intensely "I wanted to talk to Howdy, just to tell him that I didn't leave because of him and that he's a good person and should find happiness elsewhere but then he confessed to me and Wally appeared and-and" I had to stop myself from crying, Rascal climbed onto my lap so I could pet him to distract me "a-and he saw Howdy and n-now he's mad at me a-a-and I don't blame h-him" I stopped as Jewel rubbed my back "it's okay Gold, I know that everything is messy right now but who knows everything could fall into place before you know it" she said before grabbing my hand "but right now you need to focus on you, what do you want to do," she said "I-I... I want to be happy" Rascal pressed his head against my hand "then what makes you happy?" Jewel asked "Wa... Wally" I said covering my face with my hands to hide my blushing face "then do what you need to do" she said as she kissed my forehead, I handed her Rascal and left so look for Wally.

Howdy's pov

"It's true, Mother! Gold is married to a dead man, I saw him! a corpse! standing right here with Gold!" I tried to explain.

"Gold was in your room?" She asked me "I have to help them!" I said thinking of the worse "the candle!" My Mother shrieked "oh dearie, come sit, your shakin like a leaf! here I'll get you a blanket" Ms. Beagle said rushing off to fetch me one leaving me here alone with my Mother "fetch him a straightjacket! He's completely mad!" She shouted at Ms. Beagle before she herself went and locked the door from the outside so I couldn't leave.

My brain was still foggy after what happened, how could they just disappear like that? How could they be so calm? I couldn't do anything here, I needed to leave and get help, sure I could ask Ms. Beagle, she has been like a Mother to me and I don't want to get her involved in this plus I need greater help, I need the Pastor.

I grabbed the blanket that Ms. Beagle had fixed for me, I would apologize later, and used it to climb down from my room and made my way to the church, frantically banging on the door for the pastor to open "Mr. Pillar, what are you doing here? You should be at home, prostrate with grief" he said

"Pastor Galswells, I have to ask you something" I begged "this is most irregular" he said "please I beg of you, you are the only one in the village who knows what awaits beyond the grave" I kept begging "a grim topic for a groom-to-be" he said finally letting me ask my questions "can the living marry the dead?" The Pastor looked at me like I was mad which was understandable.

"What on earth are you speaking about?" He asked "please, it's Gold, they're married to a corpse, they have a corpse groom! There must be some way to undo what's been done" I begged again "mmm, I believe I know the thing to do, come with me" he blew his candle as I followed him.

He tricked me, dragging me to my Mother "he's speaking in tongues, of unholy alliances, his mind has come undone, I fear" the Pastor said "it's not true! Let me go! Let me go!" I protested, trying to get away from his grip but he was strong for an old man "then you so very much, take him to his room!" my Mother said to the pastor before closing the door and handing me to Ms. Beagle "no, I'm telling the truth, Gold needs my help, Ms. Beagle, you believe me, don't you? Mother, Father, please" I begged trying to get away when Ms. Beagle picked me up and started walking to my room "seal the doors, and bar the windows, see to it that he doesn't escape again" my Mother scream "they need my help! Let me go! Let me go!" I kept screaming, wiggling, trying anything to get out of Ms. Beagles grip but nothing helped 'with her strength it was no wonder how she could hold Barnaby when he acted up' I thought.

I was put to my room by Ms. Beagle staying by my side "oh my dear boy are you alright" she asked "no, no I'm not" I tried not to cry "my dear you acted to reckless down there, you might be labeled as mentally ill and sent to the loony bin if you keep this up" she said smacking my head gently "heh I'm just, what I saw was real, I don't know where Gold is but with that corpse around them I dear for their safety" I said "Howdy, my poor boy, maybe he is actually their lover and they decided to run away" I looked at her shocked "maybe they loved each other before this, remember you are in a arranged marriage" she said before I interrupted her "but they came here to talk to me" I said.

"did you even let them talk first, you are one to rush into things without another thought" she said making me rub the back of my neck because what she said was true and that I was also embarrassed "I just... I need to know if they are alright" I said sadly "you love them don't you" she said rubbing my back "I guess I do get attached easily" I said shyly as Ms. Beagle rapped me up in a blacket. She left me with my thoughts until I heard my parents down stairs "will this mortification never cease? It will be years before we can show ourselves in public again?" I heard my Mother say, I bent down closer to the floor to hear more of the conversation "what shall we do?" I heard her ask most likely my father "we shall continue as planned with or without cold" "Gold" both me and my Mother correct him.

"Whatever" my Father said not caring "for that child to toss aside a young man like Howdy... It is positively criminal" I heard Lady Julie 'what was she doing here' I thought confused "why, if I had a man like your son in my arms, I would lavish him with riches befitting royalty" she continued making my uncomfortable "your gentlemen husband is a most fortunate man" I hear Mother say to Lady Julie "alsa, I am not married, I was betrothed some years ago, but tragedy snatched my lover away" she said and I caught a bit of actual sorrow at the end "when one lives alone, wealth counts for naught" she finished as I got up knowing where this was gonna go and I had to leave. Grabbing a crowbar I snagged when I was younger and tried to open the door for a few minutes until it opened but on the outside. I quickly hid the crowbar behind my back seeing my family.

"Marvelous news, Howdy, there'll be a wedding after all" Father said

I had to play the act of an oblivious fool "you found them?" I asked "we must have you looking presentable for Lady Julie" she said.Even though i knew this out come I was still shocked "Lady Julie?" I said "she will make a fine wife" my Mother said "aye, a fortuitous turn of events indeed" my Father said "a far better prospect this time" my Mother remarked "but I do not love her, you cannot make me do this" I protested me unwillingness but they didn't care "we must" my Father argued "please I beg you, there must be another way" I was begging at this point "without your marriage to Lady Julie, we shall be forced penniless, into the street, we are destitute" Father barked annoyed "but Gold-" I wanted to continue with my protest but my Mother cut me off "Gold Treasure has gone, child".

"You shall marry Lady Julie tomorrow" Father said before they both walked to the door "according to plan" they both said before leaving and locking my door.

Eddie's pov

My mind was twisting when I was called up by the Van Dort's for their carriage "oh, it's almost dawn! Where could they been?" I heard Ms. Van Dort's say 'maybe hiding from you' I thought "Gold Treasure, elopes with a corpse! Heartbroken groom to wed a newcomer" I heard what the news said and so did the Van Dorts' "wealthy newcomer? It cannot be" I heard Ms. Van Dort 'of course, more worried about the money' I snarled at these so called 'parents' "did he say 'corpse'" Mr. Van Dort said "oh, don't be ridiculous what corpse would marry our Gold" Ms. Van Dort said making me angry.

'your Gold? YOUR GOLD?! YOU MEAN MY KID, NO MY KIDS THAT I RAISED AND LOVED UNCONDITIONALLY, HOW DARE YOU TRY AND TAKE THE TITLE OF PARENT AWAY FROM ME' I held the reins tightly making my knuckles white before I started to cough, but taking Gold's advice earlier, the cough was getting better

"oh, Eddie! Silence that blasted cough" Ms. Van Dort said trying to hit me with her umbrella 'oh, I'm gonna enjoy wasting your time' I thought as I made the horse start running startling the two "Eddie!, are you trying to kill us!? I think he's trying to kill us!?" Ms. Van Dort shouted but I couldn't hear her due to my laughter.

Helping me with my worry 'my little Peach is a smart and kind person, they'll come back, I just need to give them some time' and this would also give me time to work on my plan.
