Here I am with what I presume to be the first Bad Guys fanfic. So just sit back and enjoy this three parter story.
It had been some time since The former Bad Guys thwarted the evil heist plan of Professor Marmalade, atone for their crimes by turning themselves in and had their sentence reduced to one year for good behavior.
They had moved on, did better things with their lives as they put their skills to good use. Tarantula is now Diane's new secretary, and with her amazing tech knowledge, the office has never ran so smoothly, Piranha is now Diane's personal bodyguard and even sings as a side job, believe it or not, he's already in talks of a record deal. Shark went to peruse a career in acting and has been in over 10 plays now, he's even told his friends that he's thinking about going into film, Snake is now working as a locksmith and as for Wolf, at the moment, he's currently writing a novel based on the memoirs of his life but that wasn't all that was new for the wolf.
It was also time for a new change. A change that started with him and Diane Foxington. Wolf and Diane had always had a competitive but playful chemistry with one another but it was clear to anyone with eyes that these two were really made for each other. Even during The Bad Guys' year of jail, Diane would always visit Wolf and the crew whenever she had the time. Diane was definitely a positive influence on him, as he was on her. At some point after their release, his crew was begging for Wolf to just ask her out already and get it over with.
After a bit of dating, Wolf thought it was about time to take their relationship to the next step. One day, he took Foxington to one of the fanciest restaurants in all of L.A. and just before he was ready to propose to her, she beat him to it. Apparently, Diane had the exact same idea as he did and thought it was time as well.
The wedding was held in a resort on a beach near the mountains on a lovely spring day. Being that this was a resort, two of the rooms were occupied by the bride and the groom.
With wolf, he was adjusting his necktie in a full-length mirror.
"Looking fresh buddy!" Shark commented.
"Thanks." Wolf replied.
His suit looked similar to his Oliver Poodleton disguise and was even a similar shade of white, only the vest underneath his blazer was blue, the dress shirt underneath that was white and his tie was a dark shade of blue.
"Yeah, Diane is so gonna drool over how hot you look!" Piranha said.
That comment made Wolf chuckle before he stopped to ponder a moment.
"Can I tell you guys something, honestly?" Wolf asked.
"Come on man, it's us! You can tell us anything!" Shark said.
Wolf chuckled again. He was so happy to have these guys as not only friends but family.
"You know, we had dealt with so many dangerous situations before; Luggins, Marmalade, that one job in Amsterdam… but this… this beats them all." Wolf said as he sat down by the edge of the bed.
"Seriously?" Asked Snake.
"I'm just so nervous about what I'm about to do here…" Wolf said. "Marriage is a serious commitment and I don't know if have what it takes to fall through on that. Then there's the chance of us having kids! I don't know if I have what it takes to look after a small version of myself!"
Snake, being the best man, slithered his way to Wolf placed his tail on his shoulder in a reassuring manner.
"Wolf, as your best friend, I say this out of complete love…" Snake said just before he aggressively slapped Wolf in the face. "Man up, you pansy!"
Wolf looked at Snake with slight offense as he rubbed his hot cheek.
"Don't give me that look! You're the one who wanted to marry her!" Snake said.
"Wait… YOU'RE telling ME, to get married? You?" Wolf asked.
For as long as they've all known each other, one thing that was perfectly clear was that Snake was against the idea of his best friend or any of the gang getting married, even before Wolf met Diane. Snake was convinced that people like them can't find love and although he's changed his attitude on going good, some mindsets took a little longer to change than others. However, after seeing how happy Diane made Wolf and how happy Wolf made Diane, he started to accept this and once he got know Diane a little better, he even considered her a best friend even if he wouldn't say it to her face. If anyone was going to marry Wolf, Snake was happy it was her.
"Well, you basically have been pining for her for a long time now…" Snake said.
"I wouldn't call it pining…" Wolf said.
"Dude, you've been saying things like 'OH MY GOD, HAVE YOU SEEN HER?! WOW! SHE'S SO AMAZING! I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW WONDERFUL SHE IS!'" Shark said.
"I never said anything like that!" Wolf protested as his face turned light red.
"But I DO recall you once saying and I quote, 'not only did she steal my car, she also stole my heart…'" Snake said in mocking tone.
Wolf's face was now beet red. That he did remember saying.
"Seriously, the tension between you two has been going on for so long, we even made a betting pool on your relationship!" Piranha said.
"PIRANHA!" Snake and Shark both yelled through gritted teeth.
"Right, sorry." Piranha apologized.
"I'm well aware of how much tension has been going on between us, but I don't know… I just have this weird feeling that's telling me that this is a mistake…" Wolf said.
"Dude, remember at the bachelor party? What you told us?" Shark said.
Wolf looked a little confused. To be frank, he doesn't remember much of that night.
"You said that Diane was the perfect woman. She believed in us and she was the perfect example of what we should be. Both us and her proved that we don't need to be bad guys. We wouldn't even have gone good without her help."
Wolf pondered for a moment.
"Yeah, you're right. I just…" Wolf stopped himself then.
"Wait, you guys had a betting pool on our relationship?" Wolf asked.
"That's not important right now…" Shark said. "What's important is that you need to get over this anxiety and get ready to marry the fox of your dreams!"
"I want to but…" Wolf said clear that he still had doubts.
"Will this make you feel better?" Shark asked as he reached behind Wolf's ear.
Shark then gently scratches Wolf behind the ear to claim him down. This gets Wolf to stomp his foot rapidly down before slapping Shark's fin away.
"Stop that! Only Diane can do that." Wolf said.
"See? That's another reason you can't back out now!" Shark told him. "Who's gonna scratch your ear that way if Diane won't be there?"
Snake then pondered for a moment about this scenario, he knew exactly what Wolf needed.
"Can you guys hold on a moment, I'll be right back!" Snake said as he slithered his way out the door.
"Oh! That reminds me! I need to go check in on the girls!" Piranha said following suit.
Wolf and Shark both give Piranha a confusing glare.
"Don't give me that look. What happens in girl's trip, STAYS in girl's trip." He said exiting the room.
Diane and Tarantula had an actual girl's trip for the bachelorette party, but they also brought along Piranha, who had begged on wanting to come this time.
Deciding to leave Piranha be, Shark went back to reassuring Wolf.
"Look, the point of all this is…" Shark said calmly before he aggressively grabbed Wolf's face with his fins.
"We've been waiting for FAR too long for you guys to finally get to this day and you're NOT going to back out now when you're LITERALLY 10 minutes away from marrying the best thing that's ever happened to you! This wedding wasn't cheap you know! Do you know how much it cost to rent this resort? I had to sell a full row of my own teeth! I mean, they grew back, but still!" Shark aggressively told Wolf.
"Now, practically the entire city of L.A. is out there now, waiting to see the governor and the big, no-longer bad wolf get married and if that doesn't happen, we're going to have a full-scale riot on our hands!" Shark added.
"That's absurd. They wouldn't riot…" Wolf said, calling Shark's bluff.
"Okay then, if you don't marry her… I'd be more than happy to take your place and marry her myself!" Shark said.
"YOU WILL DO NO SUCH THING!" Wolf shouted.
Wolf then gets up and marches toward the door, opens it and continues marching.
"I amaze myself sometimes…" Shark chuckled, dusting off his shoulders as he went after his friend.
Over with Diane, she was straightening her fur in front of a vanity mirror.
"You look great Diane, Wolf is gonna drool all over you…" Tarantula said.
Her dress looked similar to her blue dress with the hidden pants, only it was white, had fluffy straps that went past her shoulders and had a light blue bow tied around her waist.
"Thanks Webs, you don't look too bad yourself." Diane said.
"Thanks, I guess…" Tarantula said sheepishly.
Tarantula was the maid of honor, which meant she had to wear a dress… something that wasn't really her thing. To be honest, she'd sooner wear that blue lemur kigurumi again than wear the blue strapless dress she wearing right now.
"Can I tell you something, Tarantula?" Diane asked as she brushed the tuft of fur on the top of her head..
"Shoot." Tarantula said.
"When I was the Crimson Paw, I had dealt with with some of the most dangerous heists and jobs imaginable… but all of that… all of that seems so minuscule compared to what I'm about to do right now…" Diane said.
Tarantula crawled her way to Diane and gave her paw a reassuring pat.
"Diane, we both know that you've turned your life around for the better."
"Still, I never would've imagined that someone like me would ever get married…" Diane said.
"To someone like Wolf?" Tarantula asked.
"No, ever." Diane answered.
Tarantula looked a little shocked. Though she figured that a master thief like the Crimson Paw couldn't see herself in a wedding dress. After all, she knew Wolf felt the same way about marriage.
"We'll, I guess sometimes it's okay to be wrong…" Tarantula assured her friend.
Diane smiled. Then a knock was heard.
"Who is it?" Diane asked.
"Piranha!" The voice answered back.
"Come in!" Diane told him.
Every big wedding always had groomsmen and bridesmaids, and Piranha was technically made both in this situation. This was done mostly for the fact that only the Bad Guys knew about Diane's past and it was best that the secret was kept between the six of them. Especially after what happened with Marmalade.
"Everything okay, ladies?" Piranha asked.
"Diane's a bit nervous…" Tarantula said.
"Oh. If it helps, Wolf is also nervous."
"Figures…" Diane said as she chuckled a bit.
"Hey relax, you got this!" Piranha said, reassuring the fox.
"I know I do. I just have some premarital jitters is all." Diane said.
"Yeah, you'll be okay. Pretty soon, you'll be married to the best looking wolf in all of L.A." Tarantula assured her friend once more.
"Yeah… And at the very least, I just hope this wedding goes better than my bachelorette party…" Diane said.
Diane and Tarantula both glare at Piranha.
"What? How was I suppose to know they put people in cakes sometimes?" Piranha said.
"We'll, we're lucky you only gave him teeth marks and he decided to not press charges!" said Tarantula before turning her attention back to Diane. "But don't worry about today, you've done a lot for yourself after going good. You've come too far to quit now. We all have." Tarantula reassured Diane as Piranha nodded in agreement.
"Also, if we cancel now, Shark will be mad over how much it cost to rent this place and we all will NOT hear the end of it! So…" Tarantula said.
"Yeah. Can't have that, can we?" Diane said.
"Alright, well I guess I'll see you ladies at the alter!" Piranha said.
"See you Piranha!" Diane said.
"Later Piranha." Tarantula said.
Piranha was about to open the door and make his way, until he stopped himself for a moment.
"Oh, and Webs…" Piranha said, turning his head towards the ladies.
"Yeah?" She answered him, expecting him to stay something really dumb and crazy like he always does.
"You look… nice… in that dress…" Piranha said as he broke eye contact on that last part, a small blush crept on his face.
"Oh, well… thanks…" Tarantula said completely taken aback by the complement, with her slightly blushing in return.
"We'll, see yah." Piranha waved goodbye at the two girls.
"See yah." Tarantula waved in reply.
She look over to see that Diane was giving her a sly smirk.
"What?" Tarantula asked.
Diane continued smirking slyly.
"What!?" Tarantula asked again.
"It's nothing…" Diane chuckled, lightly shaking her head.
"Come on, it's about time for us to start." Tarantula said as she crawled onto the fox's shoulder.
"Then let's get going." Diane said before she put on her earrings, grabbed her bouquet, and was on her way.
