"Darling," A Yamataian man said to his sweetest as they floated in a little white boat. It was moving lazily across the pond as the man rowed it, but stopped and let his paddles float in the water. "I've bought you here this afternoon and taken you out here for a reason."
The girl leaned in and her eyes sparkled as her face broke into a smile. They'd gone out that morning and had a wonderful gourmet breakfast together in a place where you could see the whole city skyline. After that they went to a spa together to get extensive beauty treatments for each other on the man's dime, and now they were here on the pond in the park, rowing gently across the water.
It was such a romantic occasion and her heart was all aflutter as she watched her boyfriend reach into his jacket to produce a small box.
He opened it to reveal a diamond encrusted ring. "Would you make me the happiest-" The beau's smile threatened to leave her face, until she spotted a-
"BEAR!"
-about twenty metres away from them. The boyfriend jolted and the little box fell into the boat and the ring fell out.
Into the water.
With a plop.
By the bear.
They each exchanged a nervous glance before the woman gave him nudge. "Wh-what?" The man replied as she pointed to the ripples where the ring hand landed by the bear. "I can't swim."
The girlfriend rolled her eyes and sighed at him. He might've been receptive to her needs and a wonderful person to be around, but there were some things he just couldn't do. "You can wade in it you pillock!" The romantic pretences were beginning to crumble by the introduction of the bear, who was now watching the two argue in a rowboat.
