carpe_demonDrake had the class meet in the Danger Shop this time. He was his own personal Danger Shop in a way, but he had plans for the students to make use of it.
"You've made it through dates and dancing and singing and other romantic gestures, now it's time for the big moment," Drake said. "The marriage proposal. The concept of marriage varies from culture to culture, but it's generally some kind of pledge to spend the rest of your lives together, along with an exchange of some sort of token, like a ring." Not that kind of ring, Karla.
"There are all sorts of ways to propose. Generally, you want to choose some sort of romantic moment to proclaim your everlasting love, like a candlelit dinner, but there are no set rules. There are plenty of ways to do it. You can hire an airplane to fly a banner through the sky. You can spell it out on the ground and take him or her for a hot air balloon ride -- just don't drop the ring. You can hide the ring in a wineglass or dessert, but you have to be careful they doesn't accidentally eat it and spoil the moment. You can propose via a huge view screen at a sporting event, but you gotta be prepared for public humiliation in that case if the object of your affection says no. You can even go on a TV show to pick your mate, but that's kind of silly."
Drake moved over to Angela and sank down to one knee, snapping his fingers to conjure up a ring. He held it up to her, his eyes full of adoration. "Or you can simply drop down to one knee and say 'Angela, I love you. Will you marry me?'"
Drake hopped back up to his feet and vanished the ring before Angela could react. "Anyway, your final assignment is to imagine you're with the person you're spending the rest of your life with. You want to ask him or her to be your husband or wife. Then pair up and make that proposal. You can play with the Danger Shop controls if you want to create the atmosphere, and I'll give you big points for creativity."
