(Zane's POV)
I woke up before she did, like always. She cuddled against my chest and smiled. I tried to slowly slip out of her grasp but she cuddled closer to me. I smiled and managed to get her to cuddle with my pillow instead. I kissed her forehead and went to the kitchen to make everyone breakfast. As I started on the pancakes, I thought about our plans for the day. My new wife, Mel, and I were moving into our new home in only a few hours. We'd been planning it since before Sarah and Cole's wedding, and now it finally was coming true. We had almost everything packed up, only needing our clothes to box up.
As I finished up the pancakes, Sarah and Cole walked into the living room. "Good morning, Zane" Sarah said with a yawn. "Good morning" I replied with a smile. "You excited about today?" Cole asked. "Very much so. Mel and I have been waiting for this for quite a long time now." I replied. "Got everything packed and ready to go?" Sarah asked. "We just need to pack our clothing, once she wakes up of course." I said, casting a look to our bedroom. Sarah and Cole helped make the table while I brought out our breakfast. Eventually Kai and Gabby walked in, enticed by the smell, I guess. Not long after, Nya and Jay came in, holding hands and smiling. "It smells wonderful, Zane!" Nya said. "Thank you." I replied.
Just then, I felt arms around my waist and a kiss on my cheek. "Good morning, Zane." Mel said. I smiled and kissed her back. "Good morning. Are you ready for today?" I asked. She smiled and nodded as Izzy and Lloyd entered last. "What smells so good?" Izzy asked. "Pancakes." I replied. Everyone sat down at the table next to their spouses. "So, when are you guys moving out?" Lloyd asked us. Mel and I looked at one another. "In a few hours," she said "we want to get everything unpacked as soon as possible." I overheard Gabby whisper to Kai, "I bet that's not all she wants to do." Mel shot Gabby an angry look and looked away, blushing bright red. Kai laughed at the two.
After everyone was finished eating, Mel and I headed back to our room to finish packing. "What did Gabby mean?" I asked her. Mel blushed a deep red and nervously laughed. "Don't lose your innocence, Zane." she said, looking away. We started to pack our clothing into the cardboard boxes, and I started to get butterflies in my stomach. As we packed, Mel started humming a song from our wedding. She walked over to me and wrapped her arms around my waist. We started to dance slowly as she hummed the song happily. Halfway through the song, she dipped me and we kissed. After we stopped to catch our breaths, we kept dancing slowly, both of us humming the song with joy. Near the end of the song, she rested her head on my chest and sighed. "You are the love of my life, Zane." she said. I lifted her chin up and kissed her. "You are my other half." I said after we kissed. She smiled and hugged me.
At that moment, we heard cooing from the doorway. We looked up in shock and saw the girls smiling at us. "They are so cute!" Nya said. "Looks like they're getting some sugar from each other!" Sarah said with a smile. "It always starts with kissing.." Gabby started to say before Mel yelled at her. "Gabby! Stop saying that!" I looked between them, confused. "That's not what we're here for Gabby! Mel, Zane" Sarah said "we wanted to give you two something." Mel and I looked at them in confusion. "What?" I asked. Nya, Izzy, Sarah and Gabby smiled and revealed a shadow box from our wedding. Mel's wedding dress and bouquet were placed neatly next to my black tux. Mel gasped and smiled at the gift. "It's wonderful!" she said. "Thank you all. This is amazing." I said. Sarah handed it to us and we looked at the shadow box. "Thank you so much!" Mel said happily. "It was no problem. Kind of a 'thank you' for everything that you two have done for us." Sarah replied. "Well, we better leave you alone so you can finish packing." Nya said. "Uh-huh..." Gabby said, looking at Mel with a devious smile. "Gabby..." Mel growled.
The other girls pushed Gabby out of the room and down the hall quickly. "I'll get that girl if she keeps talking like that..." Mel grumbled. I placed the box onto our bed and held her against my chest. It seemed to calm her down considerably, I'm the only person who can do that. Mel sighed, "I guess your right, Zane." "But I didn't say anything." I said, confused. "You don't have to, you just know how to make me feel better." she said. I smiled and kissed her again. "We better finish so we can head to our new home." I said. She smiled and kissed me one last time before packing up the rest of her clothes. Later, when everything was packed up, she transported the boxes to our home in rural Ninjago. We headed out to the living room where everyone was waiting. "Everything's packed?" Nya asked. We nodded and smiled. "We're going to miss you guys!" Sarah said sadly. "We'll miss you too." I said. Everyone got up and hugged us. Soon, we said our goodbyes, then smiled and waved at them. Mel held my hand and our friends disappeared and were replaced with an empty living room filled with cardboard boxes. We looked around at the boxes and sighed. "Now for the fun part, unpacking!" Mel said sarcastically. I smiled and headed for the nearest box and opened it up. "You're right, this will be fun. We get to choose where everything goes." I said, smiling. Mel looked over her shoulder at me, saw my smile and laughed. "You're right. Let's get started."
