《More Angry Birds One Shots》I Choose You
Advertisement
"And now, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you... the Everything-Ever Pocketknife!" Garry announced on stage. "It literally has everything you could possibly need. You name it, it has it!"
"Does it have a breadmaker?" someone asked.
"Yes."
"Umbrella?" wondered another.
"Yes."
"Emergency tube of lipstick?"
"Yes! The Everything-Ever Pocketknife has everything!"
"Excuse me?" Silver joined in from the audience. "Quick question... How would that fit in a pocket?"
Garry suddenly looked very nervous.
"Uh... Like this!" he answered, shoving the knife's leash into his pocket. "Satisfied?"
Feeling bored, Silver left Gadget-Con early. As she strolled down the busy streets of Piggy Island, she noticed Leonard looking at a bridal store window display.
"Hey Leonard, whatcha doing?" she asked curiously. He turned to find the green-eyed bird standing next to him.
"Silver, am I glad to see you!" he said happily. "Maybe you can help me."
"Sure, what do you need?"
"Promise you won't tell anyone," Leonard said, and Silver crossed her heart. "Okay... I'm gonna ask Red to marry me."
Silver gasped and hugged her green-skinned friend. "Oh, Leonard! That's amazing! I'm so happy for you guys!"
"I haven't asked her yet," he pointed out.
"Oh, right. Stupid of me to say that. How do you plan on asking her?"
"I was thinking maybe somewhere quiet, but I'm not quite sure when to ask specifically," Leonard answered.
"I'm sure whenever you think it's the right time will be perfect," Silver assured him. "But just in case, I could stand by and give some pointers."
Leonard smiled at the wide-eyed bird. "Thanks, Silver."
💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍
Silver hid behind a rock as Leonard took Red to Bird Island's cliffs to watch the sunset. Red seemed upset, but that was normal.

"Ouch!" Silver heard someone mutter. Curiously, she peaked in a bush to find Courtney covered in thorns.
"What are you doing here?" Silver whispered.
"Watching Leonard propose to Red, same as you," she answered, crawling out of the bush.
"How do you know he's proposing?" Silver asked.
"Who do you think polished the ring?"
The two decided to keep quiet as Leonard looked over to Silver. She wrapped her wing around Courtney as a gesture. Leonard did the same to Red, who was still brooding.
"C'mon, Red, it's no big deal," Leonard tried to reassure her.
"Pfft, wait till someone assumes you're setting," she scoffed.
"Setting? What does that mean?" Courtney asked Silver.
"It's when a bird's about to lay an egg, only lasts a few days," Silver answered.
"Oh. It takes us four months," Courtney pointed out, and returned her focus to the couple.
"Do you think about it, though?" Leonard wondered. "Having a family?"
"Of course I do," Red replied. "I doubt I'd be a good mother, but I would make sure my hatchlings, or piglets, would have what I didn't."
Leonard felt touched. "You want to have kids with me?"
"We've been together for a year, why wouldn't I?" she said. "Unless... you don't want them?"
"Actually, that's kinda why I brought you here," Leonard answered, getting on one knee much to Red's surprise.
"It's happening!" Courtney muttered excitedly, and held onto Silver's wing.
"I know!" Silver whispered back. "Why are we holding hands?"
"I don't know," Courtney replied quietly. "Should we let go?"
After five seconds, Silver answered, "... Yeah," and they let go.
"Red," Leonard began, "you are the bravest, strongest, most amazing woman I've ever met. I used to think you were my worst enemy, but all along, you were the best thing that ever happened to me, and I don't want to spend another moment of my life without you. I want you to be the first face I see every morning, and the last for every night. I want to take care of you, start a family with you, make you happy every day, and you can make me happy just standing by my side. I love you more than life itself, my gem. Will you marry me?"

Red's tawny eyes were overflowing with tears as Leonard held a beautiful moonstone ring in his hoof. She tried holding them back, but found herself succumbing to her own emotions.
"Yes!" she cried, falling into the pig's arms. After planting a couple kisses on her cheeks, Leonard took Red's wing and slid the ring on her finger.
"I can't wait to marry you," he said softly.
Red smiled at her fiancé and kissed him gently. "I love you."
"I love you, too," Leonard replied.
"That's so romantic," Courtney cried quietly, pulling out her phone. "Wait till I tell my Snoutchat followers!"
"Hey, Courtney?" Silver suggested, taking it away. "They're the ones who got engaged, so maybe they should be the ones to tell everyone."
"Ugh, fine," Courtney groaned, and put the phone back in her pocket. "But what am I supposed to do?"
"Hey, Courtney!" Red called out, grabbing the teenage pig's attention. "Wanna help plan the wedding?"

Edge Cases (Book 1 Complete!)
Rare classes and powerful skills are helpful. Too bad the system doesn't seem built to handle them. What even are all these errors? Our team of outcasts and adventurers will have to rely on their trust - and the bane of all stories, healthy communication - just to survive, let alone understand what the system is doing. Because they're quickly realizing that it's doing something; to people, to monsters, and maybe even to the gods themselves. And their goal isn't just to survive; it's to make things better. It's a good thing they're not doing it alone. --- Edge Cases is an attempt to take the LitRPG genre and the overpowered MCs trope and write a story where numbers aren't everything. Sometimes it takes trust, support, and just a touch of being very, very clever. Expect a mix of action, slice-of-life, friendship, and ominous worldbuilding. Updates M-W-F at 6pm EST. Cover art by Alovck of Artstation, and typesetting by jessessey right here on RoyalRoad.

Small Chests Are Fine Too
It is an undeniable fact that good things come in small packages. More often than not, it is necessary to trim the fat in order to bring what really matters to the forefront. Having extra bulk may seem like a good idea, but in reality it is merely a crutch that will one day become a hindrance, as it is no substitute for personality nor ability. Indeed, often times it is the small things in life that brighten up our daily lives and constantly remind us exactly why we do the things we do. However, it is important to keep an open mind, for while bigger is not always better, there are also times when it is. This holds especially true when it comes to hopes and dreams, which have been known to require a suitably large container from time to time. And while dreaming big could potentially lead to massive dissapointment, one will never truly reach fulfilment if they think too small. A truth that one small woman with meager aspirations is about to find out. DISCLAIMER: This is a spin-off/side story of my main series, Everybody Loves Large Chests, which is also mandatory reading to understand this one. It runs parallel to the main plot, branching off from the chapter titled Upheaval 2, so there will be spoilers for anyone who hasn't reached that point.

The Records of Eternity: The Traveller of Worlds
There probably won't be anything much for Traveller for the next while as I honestly don't have much of an idea of what the hell I plan on doing. While I wait for another spark of genius for this I want to get out some chapters for my other works, which I do have an idea of where I want to go. So instead of stressing myself out over this bottleneck, I will be focusing on other stories until I breakthrough. The Traveller of Worlds is a tale that tells the adventure of the young Saxon girl Millie Von Augustine, though she has another name. Millie is the eldest child of the Augustine family, a noble family in the Kingdom of Saxony. Although being a woman she was barred from succeeding her father as head of the family. In addition, she has been treated rather poorly by most of her family due to her tomboyish personality. But one day as a youth, she met someone in the woods behind her house, and this encounter would forever change her fate. Moving this to have a new chapter at a minimum of every three weeks as I have started another project full time. The cover artwork was made by Nez Illust, check their page for more their stuff. You can find more information on the universe of The Records of Eternity at https://recordsofeternity.wordpress.com/ I will also be posting any updates on how things will proceed and random other thoughts pertaining to the series on my website.
