"Is this even necessary?" Complained Flippy, Flaky adjusted his tie, she herself was wearing a matching yellow Sunday dress and a hat with a flower on the side matching with her outfit.
"Yes… Now stop squirming" Berated Flaky, playfully slapping him. Flippy's eyes widened like balloons when Flaky pulled too tight, making him choke a bit.
"Ah! Hehe, sorry honey" Flaky apologized kissing him in the cheek as an apology for the brief strangulation. Flippy rubbed his neck a bit, Flaky could literally pass as a soldier with how strong she was.
"None taken Flakes, I've taken worse" Said Flippy, beating his chest with a fist.
"Riiight. Just get ready, we don't want to be late" Said Flaky, grabbing her purse, and straightening her dress.
"Don't want to be late for my buddies' wedding. Besides, I'm the-" Flippy said.
"Best man Lucien. Where is ze best man right now?" Asked Abele, growing impatient. Either the other groom was going to come first, or the best man would arrive in time. The church was certainly packed, important people of all sorts who acknowledged the reputation of the Kaboom family.
Mouse' parents, his aunts and uncles, the many litters of relatives, and Axel was there to attend the said life changing event for Mouse .
"Relax Abele, I'm sure corporal Flippy vill come. They might have encountered some traffic is all" Whispered Lucien, wanting to pipe her own wife down.
"Hmph! Is this how you've trained your men? I thought you were better than zat!" Spat Abele.
"Simmer down Abele, you don't want to experience high blood pressure in zuch an early age, especially how zis is your son's wedding today" Whispered Ella, Abele took a deep breath and sighed.
"You're right Ella, Stress causes wrinkles… I don't want any of ze wrinkles…" Said Abele like a mantra, Lucien just sighed, glad that he was no longer getting any beef with his wife. Sneaky patiently stood at the podium, waiting for Mouse to arrive. Instead, Flippy and Flaky arrived, whispering apologies and cringing at the stares they were getting, standing beside Sneaky, while Flaky sat beside Abele.
"I'm s-sorry ma'am, we r-really had trouble navigating here" Whispered Flaky, keeping her head down.
"If you were French I vould have thrown you to ze dogs… But I understand, miss Flaky. Next time, please try to arrive on time, zis family values punctuality after all" Warned Abele.
"I-I understand ma'am" Said Flaky shakily. A hand suddenly started creeping up on her quills, touching and adoring them.
"Wow, I never saw a porcupine befo- OW!" Said Antoinette, getting cut off by Abele.
"Not. Here." Said Emeric, who sat behind Antoinette, disappointed, Anotinette gave a huff and crossed her arms.
"Sorry sir, uh, there were some complications getting here" Said Flippy to Lucien, Lucien stared back at him, giving him a look that said 'You better have a good explanation later'
"Hey Flips! Didn't think you would come. And I thought you would be here first on our wedding. Guess I was wrong" Said Sneaky, glad to see a familiar face.
"Well, I'm not going to miss you two get hitched now at the very least. It's the least I can do for giving me one of the best years of my life" Said Flippy, scratching the back of his head.
The wedding tune begun to play, all the guests had turned their heads to the lucky mouse, Mouse wore his own tux, complete with a flower near his left breast pocket. Mouse smiled meekly and Sneaky returned it. Flippy gave a thumbs up at Sneaky, making him blush.
Mouse arrived at the podium, the piano stopped, and the priest started reciting the wedding ceremony.
"We are gathered here today, to celebrate the union of two souls, to live in peace and prosperity, to live together in harmony…" Started the priest, Mouse and Sneaky started whispering to each other.
"So this was your surprise huh? Inviting our old buddy to see us go gay for each other?" playfully whispered Sneaky.
"Well, it waz only proper to see us over, before we move on with our new lives." Said Mouse, opening the side of his mouth to speak discreetly.
"Do you, Mouse Kaboom, take Sneaky az your lawfully wedded husband?" Asked the priest. Mouse grew into a panic at not paying attention to the priest's ceremonial rites.
"YES! I mean... *ahem* I do" Said Mouse, calming himself down and making Sneaky chuckle at him.
"And do you, Sneaky Camo, take Mouse az your husband?" Asked the priest. Sneaky smiled lightly, and said
"I do" Sneaky replied. Then the priest continued on with his preaching.
"Zen you may now kiss le groom" Announced the priest, Sneaky picked Mouse up by the waist and kissed him, Mouse' eyes widened in surprise, and then returned it, grabbing Sneaky's head and returning the kiss. The guests, including his family, started clapping as a sign of congratulating the newly married couple.
"Oh, zey grow up so fast. It feels like it was just a month ago zat Mouse just introduced his husband to me…" Abele said, wiping a tear from her eye.
"Um… zat WAS a month ago" Tried to clarify Lucien.
"…Shut up dear" Said Abele.
The church bells rang and the piano played, as the two newly wedded husbands started heading down the steps and onto their limo.
"Where to Mr Kaboom?" Asked Axel, starting up the engine.
"Mondo De Lifique" Said Mouse, having some plans for Sneaky and himself.
"As you wish, monsieur Mouse" Said Axel, speeding off to the nearby harbour. They saw that the rest of the guests were bidding them farewell, they waved back, content with this new chapter in life. The limo sped off into the sunset… With Zacharie hiding in the backseat.
