Chapter 30: Happy Anniversary

Agent BM: Thx, that's what people who care about each other do.


April 2019

Honey couldn't believe it, she and Zeke had been married for almost a whole year. And things were really great, they looked out for each other, took care of one another, split the chores and talked to each other.

Of course, things weren't entirely perfect. There were times when they fought, didn't see eye to eye, and lost their cools. But like two people in love, they worked out their issues, and made up. They enjoyed sharing their birthdays together.

Honey was now 25, and Zeke was now 27. For Halloween dressed up as a cowboy and cowgirl to match each other, while they handed out candy to the trick or treaters. For Thanksgiving they prepared a small traditional meal together.

And Christmas was much better spending it together instead of alone. Things were wonderful, and the two couldn't have been happier. And soon it would be their one-year wedding anniversary, and to celebrate they were going to throw a little party.


While at her store, Honey was making sure everything was in stock.

"Gee Honey, I can't believe that in a few days you and Zeke will have officially been married for a whole year." Bumble told her.

"Me neither, I can't wait." Honey replied.

"Any idea what you're gonna get him?" asked Buzz.

"Not yet, but I want it be great."

"I'm sure he'll like whatever you get him." Stinger told her.

"Yeah, but I still gotta find something."


Meanwhile at the garage, Luke had dropped by with his car.

"You still coming to the party, Luke?" Zeke wondered, as he worked on his car.

"You bet. Congrats on being married for a year." Luke replied.

"Thanks, I've never been happier."

"What are you gonna get her?"

"Something that she can use. Getting her jewelry or a dress is a little cliche."

"Got any ideas?"

"Not yet, but I'm going to the store later."

"Hope you find something."


When they both got off work they went into the city, and went to two separate stores. Honey had went into a men's clothing store, and looked around.

"Hmm, what to get?" she asked herself.

"May I help you ma'am?" questioned a worker.

"I'm looking for an anniversary gift for my husband."

"Well we have a wide variety of items that could be gifts."

And he led her away.

Meanwhile with Zeke, he went to a store that sold a little of everything.

"What would Honey like and be useful?" he thought.

He looked around, and managed to wind up in the spa and relaxation section.

"Can I help you, sir?" a worker offered.

"I'm looking for an anniversary gift for my wife. Is there anything you could recommend?"

"Well that kind of woman is your wife? She a hard worker?"

"Oh yeah, owns her own little store, she's there five days a week."

"Then I might know just the things."

And she led him away. Back at the men's clothing store, Honey had just found a gift for Zeke with the help of the worker. She had picked out a nice tie. It was a medium length tie, that was red and had dark red stripes on it.

"This is perfect, I'm sure my Zeke will love it." Honey told him.

"Shall we ring it up?" he offered.

"Yes we shall." Honey declared, and she followed him to the register.

Back at the other store, Zeke found something for Honey, it was an electric foot massager.

"Honey will definitely love this."

"I'm sure you wife will. Come on, I'll ring it up for you."

And Zeke followed her.


May 1st

When the day of their first wedding anniversary came, Honey and Zeke were in a really good mood. Buzz, Bumble, and Stinger gave the two their space for the day, and went off to get their present for them ready.

That morning the two woke up, and made each other their favorite breakfast. Honey fixed Zeke an omelette with cheese and green onions and bacon, and Zeke whipped up some pancakes with sausage.

They had their breakfast together, and when it was time for work, they shared a minute kiss, and went off their separate ways. The day couldn't go by quick enough, because that evening would be their party.


After the work day was over, the two hurried home, and got the house ready. They tidied up, got out the special dishware, and fixed up the dinner they'd serve. They were having baked chicken, mashed potatoes, peas, and rolls.

And for dessert they'd be having a chocolate cake (which Vanellope was bringing), and champagne. Around 4 all the guests arrived. They all brought presents, and congratulated the happy couple.

After everyone ate, they opened their presents and cards. Each card said words about how happy they were for them, and congratulating them. Their gifts consisted of vases, glasses, plates, and money.

Honey and Zeke thanked them all, and then it was time for dessert and champagne. Vanellope and Rancis stood up, and he tapped his fork against his glass to get everyone's attention.

"Everyone, I'd like to say congratulations to Honey and Zeke. They spent a whole year together." Vanellope announced.

"May they have many more wonderful years together, and hope that the good outweighs the bad." added Rancis.

"To Honey and Zeke." they both said, raising their glasses.

Everyone did as they did, and said, "To Honey and Zeke." And everyone drank their drinks.


After everyone went home, Honey and Zeke settled down on the couch, and exchanged their gifts.

"Happy anniversary, babe." Zeke told her handing Honey the box.

"Thanks, Z, here's yours." said Honey, giving him her gift.

They each unwrapped their gifts, and were pleasantly surprised.

"What a great tie." Zeke observed.

"And this foot massager is just what I needed." Honey replied.

"Thank you." they said together.

Suddenly Buzz, Bumble, and Stinger flew in.

"Hey, where have you guys been all day?" Honey wondered.

"We've been getting your present ready, it's in the backyard." explained Buzz.

The two went outside, and saw their gift. Out in the yard were a bunch of different flowers that spelled, "Happy Anniversary".

"You guys did this?" asked Zeke.

"Yeah, took a lot of work too." Bumble informed.

"Like it?" Stinger wondered.

"Yes, it's beautiful." Honey told them.

The bees flew to her, and nuzzled her cheeks. Then they all went upstairs, and went to bed.
