It was another amazing day in Bel Air, California. Dave 1995 Alt woke up, with the sun shining on his face. Today was going to be an awesome day! It was the day that Dave was going to ask his girlfriend, Liz, to marry him. He had everything in place for the proposal: A song to play, Forever by Chris Brown, the ring, a 10000 carat diamond ring, a flash mob, which consisted of various friends that he knew from working as an electrician at THX during it's heyday, and the best wingman in the world, Kadin73. But wait! He needed one more thing: A boombox to play the song. He knew that he needed to begin saving money for the wedding. Yet he knew that he couldn't have a song of his choice play without a boombox. As he was thinking of a plan, he looked at his neighbor's house, knowing that he had a boombox.

"Tex?" said Dave, before he immediately hesitated. "No, no. Bad idea. Bad idea."

But Dave wanted everything to be perfect for this proposal. So, as soon as no one noticed, he got a wagon, a crowbar, and various other tools and broke into Tex's house. Luckily for him, the boombox was right on the kitchen table. But right before he grabbed the boombox, Dave saw a whole pile of sound equipment, lying on the living room floor. But right on the couch was a sleeping Tex.

Dave quit working for THX in 2016, two years before Tex became a serial killer, and had narrated stories and seen boxsets, including a Sprout boxset with Kadin, about Tex murdering characters. So, he knew what Tex was capable of, and didn't intend on being the next victim. But at the same time, he knew that Liz would definitely say yes to marriage if he got that sound equipment.

"Just take what you need!" Dave told himself.

At that moment, Dave got his wagon and threw each bit of sound equipment into it, trying not to wake up the sleeping robot in the process. Then, he saw Tex's IPhone X! He knew that he didn't need it, but the IPhone 6 was the hottest phone on the market, and Dave knew that Liz would say yes to marriage if she had that phone. So, he carefully grabbed the phone and threw it in the wagon. But at that moment, the THX deep note played from Tex's phone, waking Tex up. Dave turned off the phone, but at that point, the damage was done.

"Dave? The old electrician?" asked Tex, in shock.

"Uh, no?" said Dave, sweating nervously.

"The sun's not fully out yet," said Tex. "YOU WOKE ME UP AT 7AM?!"

At that moment, Tex noticed all of his sound equipment and his IPhone in Dave's wagon.

"Oh no," said Tex, as he got up and walked towards Dave. "Don't tell me that people disrespect so much, that they're dumb enough to actually try to steal my stuff. David, I'm gonna have to kill you."

"PLEASE! I'M JUST A BOYFRIEND TRYING TO PROPOSE TO HIS GIRLFRIEND!" said Dave.

"Wow," said Tex. "I didn't think that you had a girlfriend."

"I do," said Dave. "Her name is Liz. You'd love her."

Tex growled angry at Dave, who really began sweating.

"OK! Wait, wait, wait!" said Dave, as he pointed out something. "Look! It's still in your house! So technically, not stolen."

At that moment, Dave accidentally backed into the wagon and caused it to roll out of the door. He gasped as he saw the wagon full of valuable sound equipment roll down the street.

"Oh no," said Tex, sounding like Vincent from Over the Hedge.

"Oh," said Dave, as he saw the wagon roll down the hill.

"OHHHHH!" yelled Tex, as he saw the wagon speed down Main Street.

"SLOW! SLOW!" said Tex and Dave, as they noticed the wagon slowing down, getting close to a construction site.

"STOP!" yelled Tex.

The wagon complied, stopping underneath a conveyor belt.

"Phew," said Dave, as he and Tex laughed about how they thought that the wagon was gonna get smashed. "That was close."

But right on cue, the wagon was smashed by an excavator, much to Dave's fear and Tex's anger. Tex got out a butcher's knife and a chainsaw and began to chase Dave, preparing to kill him. But right when the end was near, Dave had an idea.

"TEX! WAIT! I CAN GET IT ALL BACK!" yelled Dave, which caused Tex to stop and think. "That's right! If you kill me, you'd have to do it! But I can get it! All of it!"

"My boombox?" said Tex.

"A boomy-er boombox!" said Dave.

"The deluxe speakers?" asked Tex.

"Deluxe speakers! On my list!" said Dave. "Gotta be deluxe?"

"Yes! And I want my IPhone!" said Tex. "I love that brand. Because with an IPhone, enough just isn't enough."

"So, true! Fearfully true!" said Dave. "And I'll tell you what: I'm gonna get you the IPhone 100, Super Deluxe Super Unlimited Data, with all six Ice Scream games, Poppy Playtime, and the Olive Garden app!"

"They have that model?" asked Tex.

"I'm pretty sure," said Dave.

"Alright, Dave," said Tex. "I'm gonna go about my day. When the sun sets, I'm gonna meet you at the mall, and you better have all of my stuff with you when I get there!"

"But that's just one day! I was gonna propose to..." began Dave, before Tex pulled out his sword, causing him to change his mind. "A day's perfect! I'll get some helpers!"

"The mall. All of my stuff. And don't even think about running away, because if you do, I'm gonna find you and kill you."

Tex walked back into his house and got ready to start his day, after saying that bone-chilling statement.

"OK! OK, buddy! You just have a good day, alright?! I'm on it!" called Dave. "And at the mall, we are gonna be laughing about this! OK? Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha."

Dave banged his head against the wall, in fear. How could he get a whole wagon of sound equipment and an IPhone in one day? He knew he had to pull it off, if he wanted to live. So, he called Liz and told her that he needed help. As he expected, she was mad.

"WHAT THE DEEP NOTE?!" yelled Liz. "You mean to tell me that you tried to steal sound equipment and an IPhone from a psychotic robot, known for killing people for hating on his company, which you worked for, so you could propose to me tonight? Then, the sound equipment and IPhone got destroyed, and you told the robot that you would get it all back for him? Now, you have until you meet him at the mall tonight to return it?!"

"I mean, when you put it that way," said Dave. "Look. Babe. I'm begging you. I don't want to be Tex's next victim."

"It's OK," said Liz. "We'll think of something. We'll get through this, together."

"Thanks babe," said Dave. "Love you."

"Love you," said Liz.

So, Dave proceeded to spend the whole day, getting the sound equipment and IPhone that he needed to save his butt from getting killed by Tex. As soon as the sun set, he went to the mall, with all of his stuff and waited to meet Tex. At that moment, Liz showed up, and saw the wagon of stuff. She had mud brown hair, brown eyes, and looked like Charli D'Amelio. Dave met her when he was working at THX in 2012. Like Tex's late wife, Teresa, she was also a huge fan of Tex. A couple of dates later, Dave and Liz officially became boyfriend and girlfriend.

"Babe," said Dave.

"So, you got the stuff, huh?" said Liz.

"Yes," said Dave. "My butt is saved!"

"OK. Let me ask you something else," said Liz. "How did you get this stuff exactly?"

"Well, I may off used my credit card to purchase all of it," said Dave.

"YOU WHAT?!?!?!?" yelled Liz, as she dragged the wagon to her. "That basically puts you in bankruptcy! I told you that I would help you figure something out! But risking your credit?! No. As your girlfriend I won't let you."

"What are you doing?!" asked Dave, in horror.

"I'm bringing all of this stuff back to where you got it," said Liz. "I hope you know that this is me, protecting you."

"Babe! You don't understand," said Dave, as he engaged in a tug-of-war with Liz. "I need this stuff."

"No you don't!" yelled Liz.

"You can't take it!!!!!!!" yelled Dave.

"Yes I can!" yelled Liz.

"Let go!" yelled Dave.

"You let go!" yelled Liz.

"I have to have it!" yelled Dave.

"NOOOOOOO!" yelled Liz, as Tex threw a pumpkin bomb in her direction.

"Babe! Look out!" yelled Dave, as he pushed Liz out of the way and took the blow for her, getting half of his face charred.

"Time's up, David," said Tex, as he emerged from the shadows. "Your girlfriend tried to take my things once again. So, I think instead of you, I'll get her."

"NO!" yelled Dave. "This is between you and me! She has nothing to do with this!"

"Oh really?" said Tex. "She used to be a fan of mine, when you worked at THX. Then, just like everyone else, she feared me. That makes her just as bad as the rest. If not a little bit more. Now, TIME TO GO SHOPPING WITH THE T-MAN!!!!!!!!!!"

"Babe," said Dave. "RUN!"

Liz nodded and ran like crazy, trying to find an exit, while Dave tried to fight Tex. But Tex used his hammer, and smashed Dave in the head with it. Then, Dave tried to punch Tex in the face. But for each punch, Tex let out a psychotic laughter, similar to the Green Goblin. Then, he used a jackhammer to smash Dave's legs in. Dave tried to get up, but he couldn't, as his legs were broken. At that moment, Tex found Liz and put her in a box. Liz tried to get out of the box, but to no avail.

"I want you to be here for this, Davey," said Tex, as he lit a match.

"NO! You leave her alone!" yelled Dave. "This is why you are a killing machine! Damn you! Damn you to hell!"

"Dave, please don't save me," said Liz.

"But I love you," said Dave, with tears in his eyes. "Please, Liz. Don't go."

"I'm sorry," said Liz. "But it's not looking good. I love you. I'll miss you and I'm sorry for everything."

"It's OK," said Dave. "I love you too."

"Tex," said Liz. "Ignite the box."

"Oh, I'm not gonna do it," said Tex, as he grabbed Dave and hand the match to him. "He is."

"What?" said Dave, as he got even more emotional, breaking down into tears. "NO! NO! NO! Please!"

"It's either you or her," said Tex.

Dave took a deep breath and looked at the box.

"I'm sorry," said Dave, as he threw the match and ignited the box.

Tex flew away, holding Dave in his arms. Liz screamed as she was burned to a crisp. Dave silently bawled to himself, as he heard Liz's screams.

"You're weak," said Tex. "Just like when you watched that Vortexx CW trailer. Watch this."

At that moment, Tex used his hallucination technology to make Dave see the Warner Animation trailer. Then, Tex noticed the movie theater, where he killed Tobey Maguire, Joan Cusack, Natalie Portman, and Hugh Jackman, and smiled.

"Ready to put your trays in the full upright and locked position and approach your final descent, Lover Boy?!" asked Tex.

"NO! I DEMAND THAT YOU PUT ME DOWN PROPERLY THIS INSTANT!" yelled Dave.

"OK!" said Tex, as he dropped Dave from 1,000 feet. "HAVE A GOOD TRIP, COURTESY OF THE T-MAN!"

Dave screamed as he fell down from 1,000 feet. Then, he landed and blacked out. When he woke up, he watched the news, which covered the events of the previous day. Except, they said that he also died in the attack, as he went missing after the attack, meaning that he was presumed dead.

Dave was devasted. Why didn't he save Liz? Was he really weak? Would he be able to redeem himself? Throughout the course of the next few weeks, Dave went on a mission to save the multiverse from Tex and his Horror Gang, with Toppy Dreemurr, Kadin73, and Rohan Hordern, among other heroes and victims that he revived with Toppy and Rohan at the THX headquarters. During the final battle, Tex dropped Kadin73's girlfriend, Oceanna from the THX logo. Remembering the death of his girlfriend, Dave, along with the Amazing Spider-Man, jumped in and saved Oceanna.

"Are you OK?" asked Dave, with tears in his eyes.

"Yeah," said Oceanna. "Are you guys OK?"

"Yeah," said Dave and the Amazing Spider-Man.

Dave had redeemed himself.

(The end.)
