Buttercup Monologue

Good Essays

“Hmm... I wonder what I should get Buttercup!”, Westley thought to himself. He had many wonderful ideas, but none seemed good enough for his love. Jewelry? No. Buttercup never wears Jewelry. Chocolate? No, he’s never seen her eat candy. What about a movie? No, she never watches them. You’re probably wondering how someone could be so clueless about someone they love. It’s not that he was clueless.. but buying gifts for Buttercup was pure torture. He loved her with all his heart, but he had no idea what to get her.
Buttercup was faced with the same problem. Should she get him a new watch? No. He’s always late anyways. Some new glasses? No. That’s stupid. A new action movie? No, he’s boring anyways. Just when they both almost lost hope, they …show more content…

He decided that now was the time to take action with his plan.
“Get him a berry pie.. Boys like Westley sure do love a pie! I mean.. I’m guessing boys like Westley would love a Berry pie.. I wouldn’t know since I haven’t met him.”
Miracle Max had to backtrack his story because he was scared he would blow his cover if he kept talking. Then, Buttercup would know that Westley came to see him. He couldn’t let that happen. It would be too suspicious.
Christmas morning came soon enough, and Westley and Buttercup were seated in front of the large (and overly decorated) Christmas tree.
“Are you ready to open our presents.”
“Yeah sweetie! I’ve been rea-” ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong ding dong
The doorbell rang repeatedly and urgently.
“I’ll get it!”
Buttercup curiously opened the door, only to come face to face with Miracle Max. There he stood in the freezing, December snow. Panic was evident in his tone when he said, “Have you opened the presents? The presents from each other?”
“Uh.. No? And may I help you?”
“Do it! Do it now!”
Buttercup gave him a disapproving look as he invited himself in and sat on the couch between Westley and Buttercup’s seat. The lovely couple sighed, rolled their eyes, and looked at Miracle …show more content…

I bought you a back-up-present just in case this plan failed.”
“Okay!”
Westley got down on one knee and pulled a small box out of his pocket. He pulled out an engagement ring and cheekily said, “Will you marry me?” Tears welled up in Buttercup’s eyes. “Yes! Yes, I will!” she exclaimed, happier than ever.
While they had forgotten about the pie-mishap, Miracle Max had not. He got about 2 blocks away from their house, then had a change in heart. He remembered how much trouble they went through to get each other a present, and suddenly the evil, cunning, inconsiderate side shifted into the loving, caring, Christmas-spirit-filled side of the store-owner. He then made a decision. He would return the pies.
Miracle Max stood outside the door. “How on earth do I say, ‘Hey! Sorry for stealing your Christmas presents that I tricked you into buying each other, only so I can steal them. But have no worry, because I have returned with your presents!’ No.. That is too blunt. I’ll just go with the flow.” He went to knock on the door, but he didn’t shut it all the way when he left, so it creakily shifted open. With his eyes crinkled shut, he exclaimed, “I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have stolen. It’s Christmas, for goodness sake. I had no Christmas spirit- but don’t worry- I do now!” He then opened his eyes and saw a sight he is sure to never forget. He saw Westley on one knee, sliding a ring onto Buttercup’s finger while the tears slid down her cheeks. The newly
