A/N: here’s my comeback fic! It’s short, stupid but worth a try…xD

Meant

OneShot

Ben Casserole sighed as he arranged the collar of his tuxedo. He was going to be wed to a beautiful woman named Sisa Alabama. Yes, she was beautiful…funny, smart, kind, honest, trustworthy…all any man could ask for in a partner for life. But guiltily, she wasn’t the girl of Ben’s dreams.

The blue-topped man took out a worn, well-loved picture from his pocket. He had always kept it since he was eight. It was a picture of a pretty young girl with beautiful eyes and a bright smile…

FLASHBACK

Young Ben Casserole was walking home from a mundane day in school. It was December and the ground was covered in white sludge. Holiday preparations were as cheerful as his mood was gloomy because their school would be postponing their Christmas Break till the eve of Christmas Eve. His slate blue bangs fell over angry lavender eyes as he kicked up the snow in his frustration. Ben’s small wet shoe upset a piece of carton lodged in it.

He frowned and picked it up, trying to clean it by wiping the thing on his sleeve. He turned it over and saw a reproduction of the most beautiful girl in the world. She was just about his age and had soft waves of chocolate hair covering modest tiger gold eyes. Her smile contained all the happiness on the earth.

As young as he was, Ben fell in love. There was no name on the picture, no indication where she lived. The small boy could not tell her he loved her and even hoped to marry her someday. So, with his afternoon brightening, he ran home and held on to the picture, cherishing the inspiration till the day would come and his dreams came true.

END FLASHBACK

Unfortunately, Ben could not wait. He grew up, graduated college, met Sisa and found contentment. She dazzled him with her rambunctious flair, her dyed pink hair and her amber expressive eyes.

Now he was to wed her and he should be happy. But with his reminisce of his love for the girl in the picture, he felt guilt toward his wife for not giving his whole heart to her.

At that moment, Sisa Alabama came in wearing her wedding gown. She had forgotten something in her husband-to-be’s dressing room and stopped dead at the sight of Ben with a picture of another female!

…or that’s what she thought…

“What is this?” she said somewhat snappily, snatching the picture with a swipe of her hand.

Ben Casserole faltered. “I can explain, Sisa…it’s not what you think!...this girl…a childhood love…I just found it again…I…”

The pinkette’s expression changed. “Where did you get this?” she asked.

In the rush to redeem himself, Ben explained he had the picture since he was eight, that he found it on the street and that he fell in love with it and still loved it now.”

The bluenette did not expect Sisa to break into a smile.

“I…” she began in a happy, disbelieving tone. “I lost this picture when I was nine…”
