[CW] Flash Fiction Challenge! Location: A Birthday Party | Object: A Radio "Are you sure about this?" Posie asked his wife. She carried their daughter, Threnody, while they walked into a large, black portal floating in their living room. Two men awaited them in the dust covered wasteland on the other side. The tall one wore a polka dot party hat on his wavy, golden mane. The short one wore his party hat to the side of his bright blue mohawk. Its top tips barely reached the tall man’s armpits. "Relax, honey. It'll be fun," Robin reassured her husband. She set Threnody on the ground and the toddler bolted to the short man. "Besides, it's her birthday and she wanted to." " VEGAS !" the little girl yelled with glee. The short man knelt, ignoring the dirt, to give the little girl a hug. "Threnny!" Vegas smiled and lifted the orange eyed girl to swing her around.

The late afternoon sunlight caused her red hair to glow like a flame. She hurriedly pulled Posie up from the ground where he knelt. A crowd of strangers around them cheered and clapped, tossing out congratulations. "Of course!" She wrapped her arms around him. Posie returned the hug for a second, then Robin felt him push her away gently. She noticed tears streaming out of his orange eyes. "I'm so happy you said yes," Posie said. He walked toward a nearby bench, leading her by the hand. They sat and he stared at a knot in the pier. "Now that we've gotten to this point, there's something about me you have to know." He looked up from the ground to meet her eyes. "I won't bring any secrets into our marriage." Robin nodded, and her heart overflowed with love. She needed to ...
