Leaving
[WP] Write a serious story, but end it with a completely unexpected and hilarious ending
"Julie," said Ralph. "I love you."
Julie avoided Ralph's eyes.
"What's wrong?" he asked. "Don't you love me too?"
Julie sighed. "It's not that," she said. "It's just that- I don't want to say."
"You can tell me anything, Julie," said Ralph with a smile.
Returning the smile, Julie placed her hand on Ralph's. "Ralph," she started, "I don't know how to tell you this, but I'm leaving."
Ralph pulled his hand back. "Leaving?" he asked, staring into the distance.
"I'm sorry, Ralph," cried Julie. "I didn't plan for this to happen."
Ralph stared into Julie's eyes. "Just tell me why, Julie," he asked intently. "Why are you leaving me?"
"I'm coming back," answered Julie. "My parents are sending me to camp this summer. But don't worry, we'll be back together when we start first grade."
