Wedding of Professor Utonium and Ms. Keane
By: DJ Rodriguez
(Author's Notes: Hey everyone! How are you all doing? I hope that all of you are doing well.
Before I say or do anything else, I want to give praise and honor to the Lord. Jesus Christ, thank you once more for aiding me, my family, my friends & also to the people all over this planet that is called Earth. Thank you God for being with us, guarding us and guiding us in your Way, Will and Word. Continue to guide us where we need to be, and also Lord please help us to not give in or give up to anything that stands against you.
I continue to pray and hope to you Lord to see soon the end of the viral nightmare known as the Coronavirus, and also the end of this New Normal nightmare that has cropped up due to said viral plague. I hope to see everything & everyone start to make the journey back to regular-normal, like it was before all of this mess started.
I hope and pray to see the end of masks and face-shields, where people are more than happy to be rid of them for good. To see the end of distancing, where everyone is ENCOURAGED to gather together once more like before at games, events, schools, work, etc. To see plastic walls and barriers in certain areas to be taken down for good, where people can look and talk with one another with no kind of physical object between them.
To see the end of excessive sanitation, where people use good and real common sense instead of the Do The Five Thing rules. To see the end of contactless/touch-free/curbside services, where people go in the stores to do their business with others in the flesh and blood. To see people bursting free from their homes & no longer bound to a single location. To see people do things in real-reality instead of opting to do things with online/virtual substitutions of any kind.
Most important of all Jesus… I want to see the people breaking free from the chains of fear/paranoia/anxiety/doubt/hesitation! I want to see people go back to experience life how you made it to be God; to make connections and contact with others, for all to experience the subtle but strong substance/essence that makes all the difference in anything! The kind that was in the many small, subtle but significant blessings/gifts/freedoms that you laid down for us!
To experience life and work with that essence in there physically/mentally/socially/emotionally/spiritually/economically! To experience good and bad things in order to truly grow in all those areas, and to find once again that special sensation/satisfaction/accomplishment/fulfillment/completion that one just cannot acquire through a screen or staying at home. The kind that one can only get in real-reality, with doing things in different places with different people, making contacts & connections of all kinds in the flesh and blood!
This is what I pray and hope returns, and also that people put more faith and trust in you Lord rather than in anything else.
I truly hope that all of you are doing well. And also, this special here is dedicated to my Author friend Dreams Come True 996. Since she likes the Powerpuff Girls, classic and also the Japanese version of them as well, I believe that this one should be for her. I hope she likes it.
I really need to get my creative juices flowing once more. I have been… well, lacking in energy due to what has been going on for the past five or so months for me. Things have been really going up and down a lot, for personal life & also professional life. With things changing rapidly, and in my view not for the better, just been hard for me to get my imagination back up.
I refuse to give in or give up to this New Normal junk, and I refuse to lower my standards or ways due to fear, paranoia and anxiety!
Also, I have not heard from the Walt Disney Animation Studios concerning the letters I sent to them months ago. And also, I have not seen much of anything trying to promote my Disney/Toho novels or specials. Haven't even seen my Monsters and Magic novels or other Disney/Toho specials on a TV Tropes page. Sigh… the only kinds of promotions I have seen come from my friend Dreams, who makes fan art and posts them at her DeviantArt site. To find it, PM here for more information.
Sigh… I just have been feeling down and it's been hard for me to find the energy and strength to write. But… I will do my best to try and find said energy again. Hopefully it will come soon when everything, and everyone, start to make the change BACK to regular-normal like before. When this whole viral and New Normal nightmares are all done away with for good.

Now, on with the special!)
The date was November 14th 2020, mild and beautiful afternoon day and there was much activity in the realm of Cartoon Network, specifically in the realm of the Powerpuff Girls. The city of Townsville, there was activity going on at the Jesus Christ Faithful Church that was situated near the center of the small metropolis. At said establishment, a small but very important wedding was taking place. It was the wedding of Mr. Professor David Utonium to Ms. Alice Keane!
It came as a surprise to everyone for two reasons. One of the reasons was that the father of the legendary heroines, the Powerpuff Girls, was going to marry their kindergarten teacher. Many would have assumed that they just remain friends after their last date, that was ruined thanks to a certain paranoia from Utonium due to a cat that had tried to control him once. It seemed that the duo had patched things up, and secretly went out on dates to avoid prying eyes… especially from certain little girls named Bubbles, Blossom and Buttercup.
However, once they had been comfortable with one another, they told said young ladies who were very much delighted to hear the news!
The second surprise was that many believed that the family would have their wedding in the Disney realm, since they had moved there. However, the couple decided to have their special event in Townsville… one last special moment before moving for good to Toon Town.
The Guest List was small, comprising a little over sixty guests in total. The one in charge of the invitations that were sent out was Author Dreams Come True 996, a big fan and follower of the classics. Of course, coming to the wedding were the allies of the PPG such as the short & mustachioed man known as Barney Mayor, his very lovely yet face-hidden secretary Ms. Sara Bellum, the mysterious voice known only as the Narrator who now had a full real body thanks to Dreams, a talking dog & also the various children that were once under Alice's care.
Said guests were the entire cast from the 1972 cartoon series The New Scooby Doo Movies; the Great Dane Scooby Doo who was quite intelligent even though he was a dog, his little nephew Scrappy Doo who was full of life and bravery unlike his uncle, Shaggy Rogers who was technically the owner of Scooby but he considered the large dog his best friend, Daphne Blake who was a rich heiress to the family & who had a good head on her shoulders, Velma Dinkley the brainy but lovely little lady who was the most sensible one of the group & finally Fred Jones the leader of the group known as Mysteries Inc. who was brilliant when it came to setting down traps.
Among them were the various special guests who appeared in the show such as Don Adams, the Addams Family, the Three Stooges, Don Knotts, the Harlem Globetrotters and more! This particular cartoon series mainly stayed in the Boomerang section of the CN realm, but they had been invited by Dreams.
Next were the various characters from the classic cartoon series Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics. The characters from the three teams that were features in the wacky show were there; the Yogi Yahooeys, the Scooby Doobies and the Really Rottens were there! Of course, the place had some excellent security to make sure the villainous characters were kept in line.
Next were the various characters from the series Courage the Cowardly Dog. Said star of the show himself was there, along with his owners Eustace & Muriel Bagge. With them the characters that had become good friends with Courage during the series; Dr. Vindaloo, Charlie the Mouse, Shirley the Medium Chihuahua, Courage's parents, the Duck Brothers, the Hunchback of Nowhere and finally best friends Kitty & Bunny.
Following them were the stars from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends; Mac the eight year old boy, Bloo the imaginary friend of said human child who is the direct opposite of his creator in many ways, Wilt the tall & red-colored imaginary being who constantly apologizes, Eduardo the bulky and strong yet docile and timid imaginary friend, Coco the quirky yet loveable female bird who can only say her name over & over again, Frankie Foster the sassy and beautiful caregiver of her grandmother Madam Foster, said elderly woman who acts her shoe size rather than her age & finally Mr. Herriman the butler-like British bunny that is the imaginary friend of Madam Foster.
Next were the characters from the world of Dexter's Laboratory; the small but brilliant yet also arrogant Dexter, his tall and sweet yet hyper sister Dee Dee, his parents Dad and Mom, the superhero named Monkey, the alluring & beautiful Agent Honeydew, the Justice Friends that were led by Major Glory, the Puppet Pal duo Mitch and Clem & finally Dee Dee's friends.
The final guests were those that came from Justice League; Batman the hardcore detective and dubbed Dark Knight of Gotham, Superman the Kryptonian superhero that stood for truth & justice, Wonder Woman the exquisitely beautiful and deadly Amazon warrioress, Flash the swift and funny red superhero, the African-American Green Lantern John Stewart, the potent winged warrior with an electrified mace Hawkgirl & finally the shapeshifting being Martian Manhunter.
At the entrance to the church, Dreams herself was checking the names on the Guest List & counting the people in the building to make sure that only said beings that were listed were indeed them. She checked off the last of the names and said, "And… there! That makes everyone accounted for.".
She soon felt some slim but strong arms wrap gently around her midsection, pulling her back slightly and into a well-defined chest. Dreams made a cute yelping sound, was about to demand for the person holding her to let her go… until a familiar male voice whispered into her ear, "I hope you included us in the Guest List, my Maria.".
The young lady blushed at feeling the warm breath and loving tones coming from the young man holding her. Smiling and giving off a pleased sigh, she turned around to see her most beloved character of all time… Danny Fenton!
Dreams had invited Danny and his family to come see the wedding as well. The Fentons, of course, accepted the invitation. Sitting in the middle row were said family; Jack & Maddie Fenton, their eldest daughter Jasmine a.k.a. Jazz & finally their adopted daughter Danielle 'Dani' Fenton. Jazz was looking around at the classic stars, but she was also looking at a ring that was on her right-hand finger. It was the Steady Ring that her beau Tristen Taylor had gotten for her in April, and she rarely took it off. The couple had become stronger, more resilient with their commitment to one another on various levels.
There was even whispers of the two really becoming serious, like official engagement! Though they were just rumors, of course. But… no one can deny that the two seemed to become more alive and full of a beautiful substance/essence when they were together.
It was the same for Dani and Peter Pan, the unofficial King of Neverland. At the same time that Tristen presented Jazz with the ring, the Disney character had given the halfa little lady an obsidian tiara that was from his home world. The intricate and beautifully-crafted object had special magical qualities, blessed with defensive capabilities that increased her endurance in taking hits & also strengthened her shield capabilities significantly!
Dani, after some training, was able to keep the crown accessory hidden when in her human form. When going into spirit form, it would appear just like her outfit did. It would be situated on her head for all to see, and also it was capable of absorbing any kind of energy blast to increase its own magical capabilities. One had to physically touch and take it off, but Dani made sure it would only be her to take it off. Which she rarely did, only to clean and polish it. Plus when she had to take a bath or shower.
Dreams gave her beau a peck on the lips, looking into his eyes warmly and replying, "Don't worry Danny, you and the others are on the list.". She giggled as the halfa pulled her closer to him a little more, kissing her lips and subtly inhaling her sweet scent.
The hero of Amity Park smiled at his lady and asked, "Good to know. Also, have the band members arrived?".
The Author answered, "Yes. Ember and the MDRH are at the Reception Hall across from the church. They should be ready by the time the ceremony here is over & all of us go to where they are.".
Ember McLain was the lead guitarist & leader of the sensation that was sweeping through the multi-dimensional nation, the rock band known as the Multi-Dimensional Rock Heads! The group had formed on October 2019, but their first successful debut was on December 2019 at the premiere of the 2nd Annual Disney/Toho Kaiju Music Video Awards.
The members consisted of Huey, Dewy, Louie, Pepper Ann & Stitch. It also included the four alluring and talented female dancers known as the Dimensional Divas; Demetra, Nozomi, Francine and Matia! The group had been going on strong since then, their band manager Author DJ Rodriguez having them go on a multi-dimensional tour through various realms and worlds!
He started off small first, going on tours throughout the various universe/dimensions/worlds/realms in the Disney area. And after many successful gigs, they were now branching out to other places. They had gotten many good reviews from a majority of the worlds they had traveled to so far, and now they were being booked for the wedding reception gig.
Danny said, "That is good. So when does the wedding start?". He got his answer when the clock inside the church struck 12:00 p.m., on the dot. Coming in was the pastor for the church, an elderly woman that Felice Medad that was a potent and passionate daughter of Jesus Christ. Not in a fanatical kind of way, more in line with DJ's own pastor Rick Godwin from Summit Christian Center at San Antonio. And though she looked elderly, she did not act or speak like one.
Dreams whispered, "It starts now! Quick, let's get to our seats!". The duo soon rushed, but not in a wild way, back to their assigned seats.
Once Felice was in place, at the bottom of the steps that led up to an elevated platform behind her, the ceremony started.
From the right side of the doors emerged the Groom & Best Man, all eyes now focusing on the two men. Coming was Professor David Utonium, all dressed in a sharp tuxedo that was a good change of pace from his usual science lab coat. His Best Man for the wedding was… Samurai Jack! Yes, the samurai who tirelessly wandered the planet to vanquish the dreaded demon Aku, was chosen to be Best Man for the wedding! And he was dressed sharp as well, no longer in his samurai outfit nor his beloved sword & scabbard by his side.
Said items were being held by his best friend, the Scotsman who was also there in the seats with his daughter Flora by his side. With them were the various beings that Jack had aided throughout the series!
Once the two men were situated in front of Felice on the right side, according to the audience's point of view, coming in were the bridesmaids with the ushers escorting them. There were five in all; Ms. Sara Bellum being escorted by Bruce Wayne, Daphne Blake escorted by Fred Jones, Penelope Pitstop with Blue Falcon, Dee Dee Sykes with Shaggy Rogers & finally Kiva Andru with Clark Kent. The bridesmaids were all dressed wonderfully and uniquely, thanks to Dreams making the outfits. The ushers were also dressed sharp, but also unique as well to match their personalities and styles.
The bridesmaid soon went into a line on the left side of Pastor Medad, the ushers standing now in a line with Samurai Jack.
Next up was the Maid of Honor, which was Ashi! The former assassin and current girlfriend of Samurai Jack was actually chosen for the position of Maid of Honor by Ms. Keene! The samurai was in awe at seeing his lady love wearing such an exquisite outfit that looked extremely good on her, Ashi seeing his look and blushing in joy at seeing getting such a reaction from her beau. She soon took her appropriate place with the others.
Next was the Ring Girl, Robin Snyder. She was the best friend of the Powerpuff Girls, and also one of Ms. Keane's most energetic of students. She was in a sparkly pink dress with white ruffles at the shoulder and collar area, her brown hair brushed straight back with a white headband on with a flower with orange petals & yellow center hairclip attacked on it. She carried a small purple pillow that held the wedding rings; silver for Alice & gold for David.
Coming after her were three special Flower Girls; Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup! All were in cute white dresses, but each one unique according to their colors.
Buttercup's bottom part was green that looked like a meadow, with the shoulders also sporting her trademark color. In her hair were two flower hairclips, white petals with a green center in them. In her hands was a flower basket that held small green carnation flowers.
Blossom's dress had a red triangle design in the front of it, and on her head was a bow that looked to have white angel wings on top with a small red butterfly wing design in the middle. In her hands was a basket that carried rose petals.
Bubbles dress had a blue wave pattern at the bottom, to resemble the sea it would seem. She had blue in the shoulder design area, finishing it up with two butterfly wing hairclips on each of her trademark ponytail that had blue in the center. In her hands was a basket that held blue periwinkle petals.
The trio tossed and spread the flower petals where they walked, the trio trying so hard to contain their delight on what was to follow soon after. Once they reached the front, they soon went over to where the bridesmaids were at.
Felice than announced in a small microphone that was attached to her, "Everyone, please stand up and give honor to the coming bride.". At her words, the entire progression stood up and looked to the back door where the lady of the hour would be coming forth.
When the song Here Comes The Bride played over the speakers, the door opened… and coming in was the woman that had captured Professor David Utonium's heart & had decided to spend the rest of her long life with said man!
Alice walked down the aisle, dressed in a simple but lovely wedding dress, short sleeved and fitting her form quite nicely. She carried a bouquet of flowers that had red, yellow and blue roses. A white headband on top was like a crown that carried a long, delicate but beautiful veil that was in draped in front of her.
She walked slowly, with purposeful steps as all eyes were on her. But her eyes were only for the man that was going to be wed to soon. David was very much entranced by her simple yet very alluring beauty, one that had a substance/quality/essence to it that would be the seductive wiles of the villainous Sedusa any time
Alice soon stopped, now directly facing Utonium who was very much feeling humbled and honored that such a priceless, living and breathing treasure was standing before him like so.
Pastor Medad called for everyone to sit down, which they all did, and cast her gaze to the bride and groom. She smiled softly before looking back towards the audience and saying, "Everyone, we have gathered here together to witness the holy matrimony of David Utonium to Alice Keane. In the Bible, in Hebrews 13: 4, Marriage should be honored by everyone, and husband and wife should keep their marriage pure. And it is here that both have decided together to become one like so under the eyes of the Lord.".
She continued onward, "Marriage is another major step that both parties make, where husband and wife start a new chapter of their lives together. An adventure that is more challenging and tasking than anything that one can imagine. It has its challenges, trials, tribulations and more. But the purpose of the union is for the two to get through the obstacles, be it physical/mental/social/emotional/spiritual together. For both to find strength in the other to stand back up, to dismantle the obstacles, overcome the trials as one. For both to cover each other's weaknesses, husband and wife looking to the other for help and strength.".
Felice spoke with conviction and strength, "But more importantly, when things look too rough or overwhelming… the two look to the Lord for strength, courage, conviction, faith, trust and love. When one puts Jesus as the Cornerstone in not just their lives, but on their marriage… they gain something so much more than just being united. And when they turn to Christ in all kinds of matter, they WILL regain the strength and wisdom to not only work things out… but to become more forged, tempered with themselves, with each other… with God."
She finished up, "Marriage is a life-time commitment to one another that requires willing sacrifice between both husband and wife, to take the extra mile for one another, to be fully committed to one another & to family when the time comes & to put the needs of the other in front of their own. It is not easy, nor will it ever be. But with patience, love, gentleness, understanding, faith, trust, discipline, firmness & acting more with Christ, the union and life become better & more true than anything one can imagine.".
The elderly pastor looked to Robin, asking her to approach the adults, which she did. In-between the bride and groom, she lifted the pillow and presented to them the rings. The professor of science picked up the silver band, the kindergarten teacher the golden one.
Felice looked to Utonium and recited, "Do you, David Utonium, hereby take Alice Keane to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold from this day forward, to never forsake or leave her for another, to be with in sickness and in health, to take care of her in all ways, to put her needs first before yours, to sacrifice much for her, as long as you both shall live?".
The professor looked at the face of the young woman before him. Her eyes, her smile… all of her face that completed a picture in more ways than just physical. He smiled as he replied while slipping the wedding ring on her right ring-finger, "I do.".
Felice looked to Alice and recited the same vows for her towards David, the young woman smiling and replying, "I do.". She slipped the golden band on his left ring-finger, the physical representation of the bond now on his being.
The pastor of the church spoke, "If there is anyone here who believes that these two should not be joined in holy matrimony, speak now… or forever hold your peace.". Some of the villains/villainesses who were in the audience wanted to say something just so they could ruin the occasion… but glares from certain heroes/heroines, including from the Powerpuff Girls themselves, caused them to re-think their decision and stayed quiet.
After some time had passed, Mrs. Medad finished it up, "Than by the power invested in me by the city of Townsville, and by the Lord Himself with His Son Jesus, I hereby pronounce you Man and Wife! You may kiss the bride now.".
David lifted the veil slowly, carefully away from the face of Alice, now seeing her fully with no coverings. She was smiling, her eyes shining bright with hope and love. His eyes were also full of the same strong emotions, the two soon coming together… and landing a deep kiss that had everyone cheering and clapping for the duo! Blossom, Buttercup and Bubbles were all crying but in joy rather than in sadness.
Felice smiled brightly and declared over the noise, "I give to you all Mr. & Mrs. Utonium!".
The little daughters of David rushed up from their seats, flying towards their father and new stepmother! Bubbles and Blossom latched onto Alice, very much happy that she was now officially their new mom while Buttercup hugged her father and congratulated him on now having a wife. David looked to his newly-minted wife, both blushing as they came together to hug one another and the girls.
He looked to Alice and said, "W-Well… this is the start of a new chapter in both our lives! I hope I live up to your expectations, my dear!". He had to yell due to the noise so that she could at least hear him.
The former Ms. Keane smiled and replied, "I believe you will! And I believe that this is one adventure that will be quite the long one! And you will always count on me to be by your side!". The professor felt so much love and goodness in hearing that from her, soon delivering another sweet kiss to her lips that made the PPG go aww… well, Bubbles and Blossom yes. Buttercup merely gagged, but was silenced by a glare from her siblings.
Dreams stood up and announced, "Everyone, let's get going to the Reception Hall! It's time to get this wedding off right with a party!".
~At the Reception Hall~
True to form, everything was set up in the place across from the church. Various kinds of food & drinks were set up in large quantities, given on certain characters who were part of the festivities, tables and chairs that were all set up for the various guests & also for the two special guests of honor. Ember and her crew were already set up, the rockin ghost girl and her crew of Disney stars were all ready to jam and rock the place!
As everyone got situated, David and Alice were set near the dancing floor with the Powerpuff Girls with them. The seating arrangement was like so; from the left to the right was Bubbles, Mrs. Utonium, Blossom, Mr. Utonium to finally Buttercup.
Everyone was eager to eat, drink and be merry & it showed in their actions. However, one important part of the festivities needed to be done first. Ember called out, "Okay everyone, let's get things started! As tradition states, the first song and dance belong to the bride and groom! So to David and Alice, come on down to the dance floor!".
Said couple rose up from their seats, going hand-in-hand to said area with smiles and blushes on their faces. Once they were on the dance floor, a spotlight was shown on them as all eyes were now upon them.
The blue-flamed hair beauty stated, "And now, performing the first song and dance for the couple is… our own band manager, DJ Rodriguez! Come on up stage please!".
Coming forth was the Hispanic young man who was dressed in his best for the event. He waved to the clapping crowd, grinning as he came on stage with his band, going to the band leader and thanking her for the intro. Wireless microphone in hand, he looked to the patrons and stated, "Okay ladies and gentlemen, let's get this started off right! This song I know very well… it is Said I Loved You, But I Lied from the legendary singer Michael Bolton! I asked to sing this song for the newlyweds here because… heh, I am a hopeless romantic myself, and I like to sing songs like this for couples like them. So to the newly minted Mr. & Mrs. Utonium… this one is for you two.".
The lights soon dimmed down, the bright white spotlight on the married couple as the Multi-Dimensional Rock Heads started to play the music with the Dimensional Divas swaying & moving to the beat. David and Alice called up their courage, the husband drawing his wife in close as they started to move to the soft music. And that is when DJ started to sing:
You are the candle, loves the flames.
A fire that burns through wind and rain!
Shine your light on this heart of mine…
Till the end of time!
DJ admitted to all that he was only average at best when it came to singing most of the time, having not gotten past the 1st round of American Idol Experience at Disney World's park Hollywood Disney after a total of five or so tries together. But when it came to singing from the heart, love songs to couples like David and Alice… he put his best into it and made sure to pour out all of the emotion into the lyrics.
The Powerpuff Girls and all of the various guest patrons looked on as Mr. & Mrs. Utonium continued to dance together, their courage steady while the world seemingly faded to nothing until all that was left was just the two of them. At least in their view; both in the mind and in the heart.
You came to me like the dawn through the night…
Just shining like the sun!
Out of my dreams and into my life…
You are the one! You are the one!
Blossom had happy tears in her eyes as she looked at her father and stepmother dancing together. She whispered to her sisters, "Awww, isn't that romantic?! They look so happy together!".
Bubbles wiped away some of her own tears of joy and replied, "Yeah! It's so cool that our teacher is now our new mom! Oh, this so sweet!".
Buttercup smirked softly and stated, "Heh… yeah, got to admit. It's good to see the Professor with her. And… not getting all mushy and such but… I have never seen him so glad like this before. I like it!".
The trio knew that big changes were going to be coming to the family… but it was the positive, good kind of change that they welcomed very much! This they believed in very strongly!
{Said I loved you, but I lied!
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside!
Said I loved you, but I was wrong…
'Cause love could never, ever feel so strong!
Said I loved you, but I lied!}
The various residents of Townsville that were invited to the wedding looked on at the dancing couple; the little ones that Keane had taught for some time with their parents were glad that their teacher was happy, the Mayor and Sara Bellum were glad to see that the Powerpuff Girls now had a maternal figure to look up to & learn from in the future.
The various other guests were satisfied to be witnesses of this wedding, though some were getting impatient as they wanted to either rock on or get to the food & drink that was nearby.
With all my soul, I tried in vain…
How can mere words my heart explain?
This taste of heaven, so deep, so true…
I've found in you!
David and Alice kept on moving, swaying to the music while holding the other close. They each thought, in sync though they did not know it, the various dates they went on together. It started slow at first, gradually but steadily building up to one another. It was then the spark of love flickered into life on one of the dates, gaining strength and intensity with each greeting and touch. Slow but sure, the flame grew until it became what it was right now.
The couple opened their eyes and looked into the other's, seeing a special kind of shining quality in them that was only meant for the other. Both felt so blessed, not lucky, to be holding one another like so now. And they could not wait for their honeymoon to officially start so they could so their love to one another completely!
So many reasons in so many ways…
My life has just begun!
Need you forever, and I need you to stay!
You are the one! You are the one!
While this was going on, no one could see a hidden camera that was inside the complex. It was a small, brown cricket spy bug that blended in well with the painting in the room. The bug sent a live feed back to its owner which was… Mojo JoJo! In his observatory hideout that was in the middle of the city, he was observing everything that was occurring in the hall… and he was not alone! With him were the many villains/villainesses that the PPG had fought and defeated numerous times!
Right now, two certain villainesses were looking at the couple with mixed reactions. One was Sedusa, the seductive super-powered thief who looked on with jealously and envy as the former Ms. Keane had managed to do what she had failed to do on many occasions… and that was to snag the Professor. Another bad girl that watched on was Femme Fatale, a deceiving equal rights activist that manipulated and twisted things up so that people would be on her side. She watched in disgust at the scene in bitterness, on the grounds that none of her dates in the past had ever been this devoted to her as the Professor was to Alice.
{Said I loved you, but I lied!
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside!
Said I loved you, but I was wrong…
'Cause love could never, ever feel so strong!
Said I loved you, but I lied!}
As the music played on, couples on the edge of the dancing floor swayed to the music while holding their intended ones. Jazz looked at her steady ring, hoping that Tristen could feel her emotions through it. Normally, Jazz would not think something like that was even possible given how she was logical and such. But after falling in love with the best friend of Yugi Motou & going on many dates with him… she was now considering such an idea. It was the same with Danielle, as she was hoping that Peter could feel her own flowing emotions through their bond & the tiara that was still hidden.
Some had to give it to Dreams for choosing such a wonderful song for the newlyweds to dance to as their first dance together.
You came to me like the dawn through the night…
Just shining like the sun!
Out of my dreams and into my life…
You are the one! You are the one!
Dreams sighed as she was looking at the scene, then got a gentle nudge from Danny. She looked at him, the young halfa smiling at her before moving his hand into hers. The Author blushed and smiled, snuggling against him as the duo watched the scene. Inside her head, the young lady was doing a little jig as she was now a step ahead of the other women who really liked Fenton/Phantom as much as she did.
Ember smirked and flipped a secret switch on her guitar. The spotlight quickly flickered off… than the whole area was lit in many bright white-blue pinpricks that was designed to look like the stars in the night sky! The whole patrons were surprised by the sudden shift, but in a pleasant way. But David and Alice did not notice it, as their focus was still on one another as they danced.
{Said I loved you, but I lied!
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside!
Said I loved you, but I was wrong…
'Cause love could never, ever feel so strong!
Said I loved you…
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside!

As the music played on, slowly dying down, the couple looked at one another as they gradually stopped swaying. They held one another close… than slowly came together for another sweet, deep kiss that had everyone cheering loudly! When the song was over, the girls flew in and swirled all over the duo! They were just so excited and happy, it could not be contained!
David and Alice soon came back to reality, looking at the various guests and smiling joyfully that they were there to witness all of it. DJ looked at the duo, just very glad to be part of something special and right like it. He looked to Ember, smiled and tossed the microphone back to her. He gave her a wink before walking off the stage, the ghost girl shaking her head but with the smirk still on her face.
She announced, "Okay ladies and gentlemen, let's rock this place! We have this hall until 5:00 p.m., so let's all make the best of the time!". It was 12:30 p.m., so therefore, all had plenty of time to mingle, eat, drink & have a good time!
DJ went to the Dreams and Danny, who waved at him and asked on how it was singing up there. He answered, "Heh, it was awesome! I hope to do more singing like that in the future, but for fun. It's Ember and the divas who have the beautiful voices to do singing professionally! Also, just to let you know, everything is arranged for Mr. & Mrs. Utonium's honeymoon!".
Dreams replied, "That is good! I hope they like their two-week stay in Hawaii.". DJ had used his own pocket money to arrange for the newlyweds to stay for two glorious weeks in the Hawaiian Islands! All expenses paid for, with a VIP Honeymoon Suite at the grand hotel called Nature's Blessings on the isle of Maui.
Danny put in, "Me too! And I have assured them that me and the others will look after the girls while they are gone.". Danny had volunteered his family to look after Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup in their new abode in Downtown Toon Town. The little ladies had small, puppy love to Danny and were excited to hear the news! Of course, after talking with the Fenton clan, it was made official some time ago. And so, the couple could spend their two weeks away while the kids stayed with the Fentons.
Before anyone could say anything else… the walls to the hall were blasted open! Some of the guests shrieked in fright and surprise, wondering on who would dare to interrupt such a good time. They got their answers when it was the various villains of the PPG, all led by Mojo Jojo!
The one called Him, a crossdressing demon of the Underworld, declared in his creepy voice, "Now, this is not right. All of these guests here, and we were not invited to the party! How rude… tsk, tsk, tsk…".
Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup were shielding their parents… and now looked TICKED off at the sudden intrusion! This was supposed to be David and Alice's big day, and they were ruining it!
Buttercup looked to her sisters and asked, "Girls, shall we show them what happens when you crash a wedding party like this?".
Blossom smirked evilly and replied, "Yeah… LET'S!". The trio zoomed over to the villains, who were caught by surprise by the sudden attack that they didn't stand a chance!
The Announcer soon declared, "And so, the first day in the new chapter in the lives of… the Powerpuff Girls! With their parents Mr. & Mrs. Utonium!".
(Author's Notes: And… cut! That is it for this special! I hope you all liked it, especially you Dreams!
Now before I say or do anything else, I want to give praise and honor to the Lord. God, thank you for helping me out with this. I was really in a funk for some time, but you pulled me out of it. It has not been easy for me during these times of crisis, but you manage to help me. In the heart and in the head in a way that is needed. So again Jesus Christ, thank you for everything.
I continue to hope and pray to see the end of these two nightmares; the Coronavirus & this New Normal lifestyle. I hope and pray to see people, places, events and mindsets get back to the tried & true way of living and working all around. This New Normal is subpar on all levels, and I refuse to lower the standard of living like this!
I hope and pray to see the end of masks and face-shields, where people willingly and gladly rip them off their faces and toss them either into a bin or fire pit! For social distancing of all kinds to end, where people GATHER around one another like before! For the end of excessive cleaning to everyone and everything! For the end of plastic walls and barriers in certain places! For the end of isolation and staying at home! For the end of curbside/touch-free/contactless delivery services and practices! For the end of online/virtual substitutions of all kinds…
More importantly, I hope and pray to see the end of fear/paranoia/worry/anxiety/doubt/hesitation! I pray for everyone to get their heads out of their own fear-filled thoughts and such, to hope for the best instead of fearing for the worse!
After this story, I will work on the next chapter of my Disney/Toho movie night special. I just wanted to complete this before getting started on it. Also, I hope to see anyone wanting to try their luck at the Danny Phantom challenge one-shot special I made some time ago. Rules and such are there, so I hope those that take up the challenge abide by them.
Now for the questions! Ahem…
What do you think of the line-up of guests? What classic cartoon stars would you invite from both Cartoon Network and Boomerang area?
What advice would you give to either the bride or groom? And also to the Powerpuff Girls concerning this big change in their lives?
What do you think is going through the mind of the villainesses Sedusa and Femme Fatale after they saw the dancing of David and Alice?
What kind of gift would you bring to the couple? And who do you think will catch the bouquet of flowers… after the PPG defeat the villains/villainesses?
And finally this… what kind of future do you see for the family in their new home town? And for each other?
R&R, no flames, enjoy and leave LONG reviews!)
