The wedding reception was held immediately after Snake's wound was bandaged up. The reception was a big open room that had a beautiful view of the beach as it looked over the ocean as well as having a great view of the nearby mountains.
Before entering the room, Tarantula put on a black zip up hoodie over her dress. Before she zipped it up though, Piranha's words came back into her head. So rather then zipping it up, she left it unzipped.
Snake was busy, tending his patched up wound by placing one of the smushed push-pops on it to relieve the pain.
"Come on buddy…" Wolf nudged Snake. "You gotta give a speech."
"Do I have to? I just got stabbed today…" Snake begrudgingly asked.
"It's kind of the best man's job to say a few words about his buddy." Wolf insisted, giving him slight puppy eyes, a rare thing wolf did as he got older.
"Alright, but I'm not getting up!" Snake said. Snake always falls for that trick.
"Fine by me." Wolf said.
Snake sat up in his seat, and raised his cup.
"Now, I'm not one for long speeches…so I'll keep this short." Snake said.
"I've known Wolf as far back as I can remember, I've been his best friend and maybe even a father figure to him. Maybe not a great father, but I digress. Anyways, once Diane came into the picture, I was a bit nervous over what she did to my boy… I had a whole set of flash cards to insult you with but I forgot them at home. So you're safe… for now. Honestly, I'm nursing a wound right now and I need to rest a bit so just pretend I said a lot of fancy words that basically meant 'Congratulations guys and welcome to the family, Diane.'"
The crowd applauded.
"I wanna say some things, you okay with that?" Asked Shark.
"Go ahead." Wolf said.
"Not a problem." Diane added.
"Thanks!" Shark said.
Wolf and Diane are probably going to regret letting their friend take the floor.
"Hello everyone! Glad you could make it here to the wedding and if you ask me, these two should have done this a LONG time ago! Right?" Shark said as he looked over to Piranha and Tarantula, both nodding in agreement.
"El lobo y el zorro se están haciendo TOTALMENTE el chingar…" Piranha muttered under his breath.
"Took them long enough…" Tarantula muttered.
"Right everyone? It seemed REALLY obvious they had a thing! Especially after that charity gala, you all know what I'm talking about!" He told to the audience, they too nodding in agreement.
"That guy knows exactly what I'm talking about! I saw him there!" Shark said as he pointed to a man in the back.
"SHARK!" Both Wolf and Diane shouted, bringing Shark back to reality.
"Right, right! Sorry about that!" Shark apologized. "Anyways, I'm glad you two finally resolved your tension and I got a cool 300 bucks out of it! Congrats!" He said raising a glass.
"Now with that out of the way, LET'S GET LOCO!" Piranha shouted.
It was time to dance and everyone was getting funky. On top of being a groomsman and a bridesmaid, Piranha was also the wedding singer. Diane looked around for her husband, only to have him sneak up behind her.
"If I'd didn't know any better Diane, I'd say you were ignoring me." Wolf told her.
Diane then turned to see Wolf, who was smiling as he bowed gracefully.
"May I have this dance?" Wolf offered, sounding like a noble gentleman.
"I'd be delighted…" Diane said in a similar tone.
Wolf took her hand as they danced together just like their night at the gala and just like so, he grabbed her and spun her around, taking a moment to look into one another's eyes.
"So, Mrs. Wolf…" Wolf said. He really liked how that sounded.
"Yes, Mr. Wolf?" Diane answered back. She liked how it sounded too.
"Would you say that today is the happiest day of your life?" Wolf asked.
"Hmmm….no, but it's definitely top 5, maybe top 10." She said.
"Really?" He asked, feigning hurt.
"I'm kidding. I'm kidding." Diane assured. "It's top 3 at best!"
"Well, as long as it's in the top 3…" Wolf chuckled.
Once he was done singing, Piranha was in a competitive dance with Tarantula. Cheering from the sideline was Wolf, Diane and Shark who all looked at one other with the cheekiest grins on their faces as Shark points his thumbs at the tiny dancers. Snake looked over and was kind of shocked what was going on there.
After a while, they all switched dance partners. Diane got to dance with Shark, Piranha and even Snake while Wolf got to dance with Tarantula, the cat and even Luggins if you can believe that. The entire crowd all danced until their feet hurt. Shark then notices a man with a photo camera has entered the room.
"Oh! The photographer's here! Guys! Come on! We need to take photos!" Shark said as he grabbed everyone.
"Anyone see Piranha?" Asked Tarantula.
Piranha had disappeared after the dancing and nobody knew where he went. When it was time for Wolf and Diane to take wedding photos together, they stood right behind where the ocean and the mountains could be seen, making it the perfect backdrop. Once the flash went off and the photo came out, Wolf and Diane noticed that they were photobombed by Piranha, who being the loose cannon he is, decided to dive into the ocean from the rooftop as he showed the picture to everyone.
"So that's where he went!" Wolf said.
"Oh god, it's Amsterdam all over again!" Shark said once he saw the picture.
"Amsterdam?" Diane asked.
"It's a long story…" Wolf said.
Piranha then walked in and was soaking wet.
"Hey hermano!" Piranha cheerfully shouted as if he hadn't done something crazy just now.
"Hey hermano." Wolf replied back, casually not even noticing his friend was dropping all over the floor with his soggy shirt and shoes.
"Congratulations again guys!" Shark said.
"Thanks buddy." Wolf said.
"So, now that we have a moment… care to explain to my wife and I about that betting pool?" Wolf said as he turned to face Shark.
"What betting pool?" Diane asked, also facing Shark.
"They've been making a betting pool on our relationship…" Wolf told the fox.
"Is that so?" Diane asked, turning to face Shark while placing her fists on her hips.
"Dude! You told them about the betting pool?!" Tarantula frustratedly asked Shark.
"It was Piranha's fault!" Shark said pointing to the accused.
"Still waiting on an answer, big guy…" Wolf said, tapping his foot.
"Okay, so… there's a funny story about that…" Shark explained.
Before he could explain though, the wedding cake was wheeled in and Shark was relieved he didn't need to answer any questions now.
The large cake was a beautiful shade of white with accents of orange and brown, representing the colors of their fur, topped off with the standard bride and groom decoration. Shark did his best to restrain Piranha from eating the cake.
"No! Not this time, little buddy! Let someone else actually get one taste of the cake first!" Shark told him.
"The cake looks beautiful!" Diane said.
"Not as beautiful as you…" Wolf said giving her a full Clooney styled smolder.
"Seriously?" Diane teasingly asked.
"I'm with her! You're gonna make me puke…" Snake snarked.
Wolf and Diane both got a piece of cake and while Wolf got feed her a piece, Diane shoved her plate right onto his muzzle, he licked his messy muzzle before he did the same to her. It was about a good thirty seconds after when Piranha broke free and ate the rest of the cake.
Once the reception was over, everyone exited the resort and in a twist, it was Diane who carried Wolf bridal style.
"Don't I weigh anything to you?" Wolf asked.
"Not really. It's a bit like carrying a pencil case…" Diane answered.
Wolf and Diane got into their car as she place him in the driver's seat as she went over to the passenger seat, they were on their way to their honeymoon at a beach house in Santa Cruz.
Before they could drive away however Diane needed to do one last thing. As she stood up in her seat facing backwards and threw the bouquet into the crowd. As the flowers went flying, Fluffit and Luggins were putting a heck of a fight, only for the bouquet to overshoot them all and landed squarely in Piranha's hands without him looking as he saw it was in his hands and then looked over to see Tarantula was standing next to him, they both looked shocked as their faces turned red. Out of complete panic, Piranha ate the bouquet. This made Wolf and Diane chuckled as she sat in her seat proper.
"See you guys!" Wolf and Diane shouted simultaneously.
"Bye! Have fun in Santa Cruz!" Shark yelled while holding the cat in one of his arms.
"Adíos hermano!" Piranha shouted before belching up a few flower pedals.
"Later guys!" Tarantula said.
"Go on! Get on out of here, you nutty kids!" Snake told them.
The car was was revved up and drove off at breakneck speed as the wolf husband and his fox wife rode off into the sunset, towards a brand new day.
One year later.
There is now a massive beach house in view and stepping out of the front door was Wolf, wearing his iconic white clothes as he walked over to the small table on the front porch as he grabbed a newspaper while the kitty jumps into his lap and takes a nap there.
"Hey you, come here!" Wolf said to the non-existent camera.
"Been a while, huh? Well, here's what I've been up to since my wedding day. We liked the beach house on our honeymoon so much, we decided to get our own and thanks to all that betting pool money we confiscated, we all now live in this lovely Los Angeles beach house and Diane being the sentimental type she is, even manage to move her old lair here. Don't ask me how though, I STILL have no idea… But yeah, it's just me and the pack, all seven of us!"
"Wolfy…" Diane said to her husband, which got his attention.
"That's right! I almost forgot!" Wolf said as he got up, kissed his wife on the forehead then kneeled down a little and kissed a swaddled bundle in Diane's arms.
"All eight of us!" Wolf said as he lifted the hood of the swaddle down to reveal a little pup with brown fur, big fox-like ears and a small pink nose. "Diane and I had a little baby boy a few months ago, and his name is Wolf Jr." He added.
"It's actually Moe Jr." Diane said.
"He's still named after his father though." Wolf commented.
"That's fair." Diane replied.
"Yeah. After having this little guy around for a while, I found out that I'm basically the coolest dad ever!" Wolf said.
"GUYS! WE'RE OUT OF CRUNCHY PEANUT BUTTER!" Snake shouted from inside the house.
"Oop. Gotta go, Jr.'s godfather is a little cranky right now…" Wolf shrugged.
"SERIOUSLY, IF YOU GUYS DON'T GET ANY SOON, I WILL EAT THE CAT!" Snake shouted.
"Did you check the back of the pantry?" Diane asked.
"THAT WAS THE FIRST PLACE I LOOKED! AND I DIDN'T EVEN… NEVER MIND!" Snake shouted.
Both Wolf and Diane chuckled as they sat in the chairs and looked at the clear blue sky.
