Just Let Her Marry Me Already!

What up ishaboi sugar nips comin' back at it again with a stupid story. M'kay...it's between Truth and Lapis some time in the near future. Let's get er' goin'.

Teh Story
"Aw c'mon," whined the white cat with messy, long hair. "I saved the world multiple times already! You guys have some incredibly high standards."

"That's not it," shouted the other, much bigger cat named Arminger. "The fact that you don't have a steady job is the deal breaker. How are you able to provide with for daughter without any money? She can't support a family all on her own!"

"Dad please..." said Lapis quietly.

"Stay out of this," said Arminger. "Listen up Truth, until you get a good paying a job, I can't allow you to marry my daughter. Oh, and one more thing."

"What is it now?" asked Truth in a frustrated tone.

"The two of you are too young to get married," added Arminger. "My daughter is 23 and you're 25. You're way too young!"

"Age shouldn't be a factor!" yelled Truth. "Besides, this should be Lapis' choice not yours. After all, it's her life and she should do whatever she pleases!"

"Young man," said Lapis' mother, Luna. "I think it's about time you leave."

"Mom!" shouted Lapis.

"No," said Truth who turned back. "They're right...I should go, it's getting late." Truth opened the door and left.

"Lapis," added Arminger. "I think it's best that you stop seeing him."

"Agreed," said Luna.

"..." Lapis ran up to her room with tears in her eyes. She's never been this angry before in her life.

Back with Truth, he walked in the streets of Yamar, a beautiful city filled with many bakeries and restaurants. "Hmph," remarked Truth. "Yeah right...get a job. I've lived a comfortable life without money. Soul even offered to have a house built in a forest not too far from his town,"

Continuing down the street he came across a man asking for money to help support his family. Truth, of course not having any, was unable to give to the man. He then whispered to himself, "Maybe Arminger is right...plus it's the only way they'll let me marry Lapis. The only problem is I don't know what I can do."

The day quickly turned to night and Truth didn't have a place to stay. "I guess money isn't useless after all," said Truth. He walked down an alleyway and came across a poster and saw a sign that asked people to join the military. Truth read the poster out loud, "Give your services to Her Majesty. Many benefits are offered during service and after retiring. Current salary is 36,000 Arks."

'Not very familiar with this currency..." Truth thought to himself. 'I'll give it a shot." He took the poster and looked for a recruitment center nearby. It took him all night, but he eventually found one. "Excuse me, I came for the recruitment."

"Of course," said a tall male fox. "Fill out these papers please."

Truth followed the instructions and trained with many other recruits for 6 months. His performance impressed the Queen who assigned him to the Mystic Legion.

After getting everything settled he could finally tell Lapis' parents the good news. He put on the Mystic Legion uniform and made haste to Lapis' home. 'After all this time, I can finally see her,' thought Truth. He knocked on the door and was answered by Arminger.

"Truth!" shouted Arminger, shocked to see Truth in a Mystic Legion uniform. "You're...you're...I can't believe it!"

"Well you better believe it," remarked Truth arrogantly. "All this in like 6 months. Pretty cool, huh?"

"Oh yes," Arminger's eyes lighted up. "I'm truly impressed! I never thought I would see the day. Luna, come over here."

Luna walked over and was surprised to see Truth. "You really did it! Oh, Lapis is going to be so happy!"

"Ha ha," laughed Arminger placing his hand and Truth's shoulder. "You did good. Now let's talk about that hair of yours."

"Don't get your hopes up," countered Truth.

Lapis walked downstairs still in her pajamas. "What's with all the yelling?"

"Yo," started Truth waving at Lapis. "Guess who joined the Mystic Legion in half a year!"

"What?!" shouted Lapis. "It took me years to be in that, how were you accepted so quickly?!"

"What can I say? I'm just one mean fighting machine." Truth chuckled as he knew that his accomplishment slightly angered Lapis.
