Rudolph and Zoey arrived at the New Year's party shortly after their honeymoon.
When they came to the doors and knocked, Rudolph looked incredibly nervous.
Zoey looked at her husband. "What's the matter, Rudolph?"
Rudolph looked back at her. "It's just that this is our first New Year's Eve as buck and doe, and I want this to be your best one."
"Oh, Rudolph, I-"
Boone answered the door. "Hey, everybody, look who's here!"
As soon as everyone saw the couple, they cheered.
"Hey, you two." Leonard greeted them. I never knew you'd be back so soon from your honeymoon!"
"This will be the best party ever!" Slyly whooped.
"And you're just in time!" said Stormella.
Then she and Slyly hopped on the table and pulled out megaphones.
"Pop 'em, boys!" they shouted.
There were three loud pops, and then a shower of beer, wine, and champagne fell into the rows of glasses without making the smallest mess.
Everyone clapped.
"Hey, Rudy!" Arrow came up to the two before giving Rudolph a playful noogie.
"Hey, Arrow." Rudolph said.
"How was the honeymoon?"
"Amazing."
"Well, I must say, you better keep her safe. You don't want others drooling over her, do you?" he joked.
"Oh, quit it!" Rudolph said, giving his cousin a playful punch in the shoulder. "But I'll take that as a compliment.
"Arrow laughed before going off to get some beer.
Rudolph was relieved to finally be alone with his wife. "So, Zoey, what were you saying when we were at the door?"
"Oh, right." she said. "Rudolph, you don't need to make this my best New Year's. You've done it before and you always have."
"Huh?"
"Ever since we were yearlings, you've made every single one of my New Year's the best, even when I was going out with Arrow. And it just keeps on getting better. There was our first one together when we were dating, the one when we were fiancées, and so far, you've already made this one the best."
"Gosh, sweetie." he chuckled.
She smiled softly before kissing him on the cheek, making his nose glow brightly.
They had the time of their lives.
"Hey, everybody!" Slyly called. "The ball's about to drop!"
Everyone circled the television, which was filming live in Times Square.
And then began the countdown.
"10...9..."
"Should we do it?" Zoey asked.
"Yes." Rudolph said.
"7...6..."
They began to lean in.
"5...4..."
Closer.
3...2...1..."
They kissed.
"Happy New Year!"
Everyone cheered as the golden confetti fell. But they cheered more when they saw the couple kissing.
When they broke apart, Rudolph's nose shined brighter than the moon.
"Ready for another amazing year together?" Rudolph asked.
"I always am." Zoey said.
And the couple watched the fireworks, loving every minute of their time together.
Happy New Year, everybody!
