Chapter 4: The Australian Wedding

.

.

.

After a while, inside the Mascot Manor, Claude and Carla are getting ready for the wedding.

"Uh, Claude? Are you sure about this?" Sam asked.

"Of course! I was blushing because...You know.." Claude said.

"About what?" Sam asked.

Unnoticed, Carla came to answer Sam Tomcat.

"He was blushing because we are getting married." Carla said.

Sam's jaw drops. Carla kissed Claude on the cheek, and Claude blushes.

"Well, this is gonna be a sweet day, isn't it.." Claude said.

"Yep.." Carla replied.

Carla went to the bathroom to change to her bride outfit. When Claude was done changing to his groom outfit, he shook when he saw Carla in her bride outfit. Claude blushed in excitement.

"Wow... You look great in that outfit, Carla!" Sam said.

"Wow. That outfit looks amazing.." Claude said blushing..

"Thank you." Carla replied.

"Well, before we can bring up the decorations, we need to get the cake to be ready." Bernie said, getting some Mascots to work on the cake.

Woofer has to work on the frosting, while Barry has to work on the fondue roses (if he can without his boxing gloves on), and Bernie has to work on the cake (that was baked before adding frosting). When Bernie finished baking the cake while Woofer made the frosting and Barry made the fondue roses. When they are done frosting the cake, Barry added the finishing touches, the fondue roses. After the cake was done, Bernie showed the cake to Claude and Carla.

"Wow! That looks great! Did you guys make this?" Carla asked.

"Yep. Me, Woofer, and Barry." Bernie replied.

"Wow! That looks amazing!" Carla cheered.

Bernie felt proud.

"Oh, by the way, while you are holding the plate onto the cake, make sure you don't let it fall off." Carla replied.

"I won't.." Bernie said.

"Uh, we should carry it for you.." Barry said.

Without an answer, Bernie nodded.

Later..

Not much as little as 15 minutes before the wedding started, Claude tighten up his bowtie a little bit while Stripes was decorating the chairs and Sam was decorating the wedding arch with roses.

"These look pretty, Sam.." Claude agreed.

"Thanks. I decorated this arch my myself, no help at all?" Sam said.

"Uh, do you need help getting down? This arch is really long." Claude asked.

"Nope. No help." Sam lied, trying to get down.

Without warning, Sam fell down from the arch, and as he was falling down, Claude catches the Yellow/White cat to save him.

"Heh. Thanks for saving me." Sam replied.

"Sam, I think you needed to be careful while onto long arches." Claude said.

Sam blushed in embarrassment.

"Don't feel bad, Sam! I think you just needed some help getting you down." Claude replied.

"Hey! What happened?" Stripes asked, unnoticed.

"Sam fell off of the arch, so I have to save him." Claude said.

"That was amazing when you saved him! He could've gotten hurt!" Stripes said.

"I know, Sam has to get some help while getting down.." Claude replied.

Not much later..

As the wedding started, all 10 Mascots, and a couple of NRL Mascots sat down on the chairs while an Ocelot plays a wedding theme on the organ piano.

"Wow. This is gonna be sweet, isn't it.." Wolfe said.

Jock shook, as he saw Wolfe unnoticed.

"Wolfe? How did you get here?" Jock asked.

"Well, I was invited.." Wolfe replied.

Jock went confused when he saw Wolfe. Even when the wolf got to Mascot Manor..

"So… Where's the.. Uh.." Ozzie asked, still confused of what he's gonna say.

"The reader?" Wolfe answered.

"Yeah. The reader." Ozzie said.

"Um, back to the organ piano, please?" Wolfe asked.

"Oh, right!" Ozzie replied.

Ozzie continued to play on the organ piano. When the wedding started, Claude was standing there, next to Ozzie. There was a reader that was named Hank. Hank was a black dog. When Hank was ready to open the page, a flower thrower named Rosie was walking, throwing flower petals onto the ground. Carla was leaded by Rosie the Border Collie. When Carla stood towards Claude, they both smiled. Ozzie smiled back, and the two dogs smiled back at Ozzie the Ocelot. When Hank the dog opened the book, the ring bearer named Clyde the Border Collie went towards Hank.

"For our love in Australia, for our love for everybody we knew, we always have the heart for each other. Our hearts for any kind, for everybody to love for. For one crow who has the heart to the other crow, their love goes together. One crow has the love for the other, while the other has the love back. For you, Claude, all of your love goes to Carla. And for you, Carla, your love goes to Claude and back." Hank softly said.

The two crows blushed in happiness.

"For you, Clyde, will you give the ring to Carla?" Hank asked in a soft voice.

Clyde nodded and went towards the two crows. Clyde puts the first ring on Carla's ring finger.

"And for you, Clyde, will you give the ring to Claude?" Hank asked in a soft voice again.

Clyde obeyed and puts the ring on Claude's ring finger. Clyde went towards Hank.

"Carla, will you marry your husband?" Hank asked.

"I do." Carla said.

"And for you, Claude. Will you marry your wife?" Hank asked.

"I do." Claude said.

"For you, Claude.. You may kiss the bride." Hank said.

Claude kissed Carla, and all Mascots and animals cheered. After the kiss, Carla, Claude, and Wolfe had salmon for dinner while Ozzy and Hank had tuna for dinner. After the dinner party, Hank had an idea.

"So, guys." Hank said.

All 11 Mascots, Carla, Wolfe, Ozzy, Ella, Rosie, and Clyde looked at Hank.

"Wanna try roasting some marshmallows onto the fire?" Hank asked.

Claude and Carla were confused.

"Uh, Hank? Isn't it safe when the fire is near the… tree or something? It may cause fire." Carla asked.

"Uh.. Let me just move it a bit." Hank said, putting the fire out with water.

Hank puts the water out with water, then moves the firewood onto a safe flat space where the tree doesn't get burned. Hank adds the fire again. Hank has to make sure it doesn't get near the grass, and the fire wasn't near the grass.

"Well, all clear." Hank said.

"What's that tree for?" Carla asked.

"The tree? Well, I first grew it when I was a young pup. It grows blossoms onto the tree. And my Dad said that it will be my tree just to keep it for weddings." Hank answered.

"Wow! That tree is kept for weddings?" Claude asked.

"Yep. My Dad said that I have to keep it for weddings." Hank said.

"That's so nice!" Wolfe said.

"So, marshmallows anybody?" Hank asked.

Some mascots, and the two dogs, Ella and Rosie nodded.

"No thank you, Hank. We already had cake after dinner. So we are good." Claude said.

"I agree with Claude.." Carla said.

"OK then. I will save them just for you when the marshmallow roasting is over in case you are going home." Hank said.

Carla nodded. After the marshmallow roasting party, Claude and Carla are starting to feel a little tired. So Claude told Hank that they are going home, so Hank gave the plastic bags of roasted marshmallows to the two crows.

"Thanks, Hank.." Carla said.

"Your welcome!" Hank said.

Carla shook when she saw the car. It has cans that are tied in strings, and a poster that said "Just Married!".

"That was amazing!" Carla shook in excitement.

"What's amazing?" Claude asked.

Claude shook when he saw the car just like Carla saw. Claude was full of excitement.

"Wow! I can't believe that your friends made that!" Carla cheered.

Wolfe, Ella, and Rosie walked towards Carla.

"We decorated your car just for you guys!" Wolfe said.

Carla was blushing in excitement. When they are about to go home, They both got into the car, then opened the windows. The two crows stook their heads up and Claude's friends took pictures of Claude and Carla.

"Hey, since they are going home, should we follow them?" Sam asked.

"Well, you should wait when they get back to the Mascot Manor.." Wolfe said.

"Only for a little bit, Wolfe.." Ozzie said.

Wolfe sighed in disappointment.

Back at the Mascot Manor…

Claude and Carla went back inside and then changed to their sleepwear. After they changed to their sleepwear, they went to Claude's room and rested.

That Morning..

Claude and Carla got up and saw the 10 Mascots eating breakfast. Carla went towards Skeeta and then the Mosquito hugs her.

"Wow. That was so amazing, Carla!" Skeeta said in excitement.

"Last night was amazing!" Stripes said.

"What did you guys have for dinner last night?" Claude asked.

"We had salmon, just like you and Carla did." Stripes said.

"How did you know?" Claude asked.

"Well, Salmon is my favorite fish, so I had it just like you guys ate!" Stripes replied.

Claude felt a little tired, but still ready for breakfast.

"So, do you have a pear?'' Sam asked.

Stripes looked in the fridge, and no pears.

"Nope. No pears, but we do have apples!" Stripes said.

Stripes threw and apple at Sam, and the Yellow/White cat catches the apple.

"Wow! Nice catch Sam!" Carla said.

"Thanks." Sam pleaded.

"So, what are you guys gonna do?" Claude asked.

"Do some more training until the weather gets worse." Stripes said.

"Well, last night was nice! Also, Hank looks cute in that outfit!" Syd said excitedly.

"Well, you do like our friend, Hank. Don't you." Carla said.

Syd blushed.

"Uh, Hank is our friend.." Syd replied.

Carla giggled.

"Well, we should get to training before the AFL season starts." Stripes said.

All 11 Mascots, and Carla went out to the backyard to train.
