“Marry me Helen, I love you from the core of my heart.”
“Everyone says that Aaron.”
“I’m a unicorn….”
“What’s the big deal about that? You’re just a horse with a horn.”
“But I’m the last surviving member of my species…”
“Ohhhhh, so now I should marry you out of pity.”
“No, but unicorns are magical beings, marrying one leads to eternal youth.”
“Stop it, you’re just being pathetic now Aaron.”
“No, I swear it’s true.”
“How can a gal say no to THAT baby.”
And as Aaron kissed Helen to seal their union, he quietly uncrossed his hooves.

Forget the legends, never trust a unicorn! This line made me laugh out loud: “Stop it, you’re just being pathetic now Aaron.”
