Charlie's POV

"Wow, today sure was a quick day." I noticed as I looked at the clock in my car, "It's almost four o'clock!"

Days like this don't happen on a regular basis, so I'm always happy when they do. I'm always open for some extra free time.

As I turned onto the street my house was on, I saw the mailman dropping off envelopes in my box.

My mind turned, thinking of what it could be, "Hm? I received and paid the bills already…Probably just some advertisements and other junk like that."

I parked my car into the garage and quickly went for the mailbox, there were four envelopes inside. Two of them were junk, one was just a folded up ad, and the last one was from… Alph and Brittany?

"Wow…that's some really elegant cursive."

I fished my house keys out of my pocket, approached and unlocked the door, and went inside.

"Quack!" My lovely Elizabeth greeted me happily and flew up to me.

"Hey there Elizabeth, surprised to see me home so early?"

"Quack! Quack!"

I laughed, her webbed feet felt funny against my chest, "All right Elizabeth, I'll get your food out as soon as I read these letters."

Well, there was only one letter that I was really interested in, and that was the one from my friends. I sat at my desk and used my envelope opener to tear open the letter.

The message itself was in the same fancy-looking type, 'Alph and Brittany' were written at the top in large letters.

Together with their families

Alph Dustin Riverdale and Brittany Leah DeMira

Invite you to share with them

The joy of their wedding day

At the Rose Garden Dream Palace

My eyes were glued on the paper for more than a few minutes, my bottom jaw hung.

"They're getting married!?" I almost involuntarily shouted. The letter fell to the floor as I felt this burning sensation in my stomach. The same feeling I got while they were dating, except more intense.

"I don't believe this! It's… it's not fair!" I jumped up and started pacing, "I mean, they've only been going out for a short time… then again they've known each other since college which is… oh what does it matter? They're engaged!"

My jealously exploded to the surface, I knew that the chances of them splitting up now were slim to none. Oh no, none to none at all! They're so much in love with each other… Alph… why Alph? Why not a brawny man like me?

I sat back down, "I love Brittany… she's the most beautiful woman… why does this have to happen?"

Suddenly a flash of inspiration, "No… oh no." I stood with a wicked smile, "It doesn't HAVE to happen. I'll think of a way… Brittany… she deserves a big, strong man like me! Alph is way in over his head! If he had stayed out of my way during our adventure in PNF-404 I would've been the one to smitten her! But no, he had to steal her from me!"

…

"If they aren't going to break up on their own… I'll break them up myself!"

Alph's POV

Getting married is nerve-wracking, but it's a good thing we have the planning to burn the energy. There's so much to be done, it's crazy!

But I'm happy, I've always wondered what it would be like to marry the one you love and be able to be with them for a lifetime. Now I get to experience firsthand.

"Alph, did you remember to mail those invitations?" Brittany walked in and asked me. She's probably more nervous than I am, she's been in a flustered state since the planning happened.

"Of course I did, and I got everyone on the list you gave me so don't worry." I comforted her.

She breathed out, "Okay, great."

"I sent an invitation to Captain Charlie as well."

"Oh did you? That's fine." She shrugged, I guess it's okay with her. Since she never really cared for the Captain too much I figured she wouldn't mind, I chuckled lightly.

I put my arm around her, "It'll be fine okay?"

She smiled, "I know... I love you Alph."

"You can still call me Alphie."

She giggled, "Okay... Alphie."

And we embraced.
