Mo came into her twins' bedroom and tucked them in for the night as they were ready for bed.

"Mom, do you really think that there really is a big red dog on the island?" Akito smiled.

"I'm sure there is if your father says there is," Mo smiled back to him. "We've seen pretty strange things, even before you two were even born."

"True." The Fudo twins nodded.

Mo then hugged them and kissed them good night. "Good night, I love you both so much."

"Don't we get a story?" Estelle pouted as she hugged her teddy bear.

"What story would you like to hear?" Mo asked them with a smile.

"The story about your and Dad's wedding day." Estelle smiled.

"Oh, are you sure?" Mo smiled as she knew that was coming, she never minded telling the story because she loved telling it as much as Atticus did since it was the happiest day of their lives together. "You've both heard that story so many times."

"Please, Mom..." Akito begged. "Pretty please with a cherry on top?"

"Well... Okay." Mo smiled.

"Yay!" The Fudo twins cheered. "Jinx!"

Mo laughed to that. Akito and Estelle giggled before settling down in their beds.

"We're ready." The Fudo twins said after getting settled.

"Okay, okay," Mo smiled. "Well, it all started in the land of Equestria..."


Flashback shows everything in the Crystal Empire getting ready for a special wedding. Twilight was making sure that everything was going to be perfect since she was going to marry Atticus and Mo and was also the wedding planner. Spike was by her side as always as numerous ponies ran back and forth to arrange everything for the bride and groom.

"Oh, this is so exciting," Twilight gushed outside of her hectic busy behavior. "I haven't been this excited since Shining Armor and Cadence's wedding!"

"I know." Spike smiled.

Mo walked over with Atticus. "We're ready for the rehearsal dinner when you are, Twilight."

"Alright, now remember, no seeing each other until the wedding." Twilight reminded them.

"We know, Twilight." Atticus said.

"Just so we're clear." Twilight reminded.

"Twilight, it's okay, besides, you're doing the service," Mo smiled. "It'll be like Rarity's wedding to Fancy Pants."

"Yeah." Atticus agreed in memory.

Twilight smiled to them and gave them a hug.


After the rehearsal dinner, there was time to set up for the wedding. Atticus and Mo spent their day apart from each other until it would be time for them to promise themselves to each other for life. Sweetie Belle stood by the organ as Forte sat on the bench of it and she had a microphone in place as she would sing along to the Wedding March and Cherry was standing in position as she had been asked to be Atticus's Best Mare and where Patch and Shining Armor were the ring bearers.

Button Mash smiled to Sweetie Belle which made her blush to him. Atticus seemed to get nervous. Millions of thoughts flooded his mind as he bit his hoof anxiously. Suddenly, the Wedding March played and Sweetie Belle sang along. Everyone stood up as Mo was coming and James had his own Equestrian form as he linked arms with his adoptive daughter and walked her down the aisle with the flower fillies following them.

'S-She looks beautiful.' Atticus thought to himself.

"Who is giving her away?" Twilight asked.

"Her mother and I." James replied as he held Mo close.

Twilight then backed up and helped Mo up the steps as she was now coming to stand across from Atticus.

'Just stay calm, Atticus, just stay calm.' Atticus thought to himself.

Twilight began the service for Atticus and Mo.


Back out of the story...

Mo smiled as the twins had fallen asleep and she kissed them both good night. "I love you two very much." she smiled as she turned out their light and let them get some sleep. She soon got out of the twins' bedroom and then saw her strong husband outside the room, seeming to have overhearing the story. "Well, hello there."

"You told them the story again?" Atticus asked.

"Well, it's their favorite, and it's such a wonderful story." Mo replied.

"Yes, yes, it is." Atticus smiled.

Mo smiled back as she lay down in their bed next to him. "So, did you get a ride for us to Birdwell Island?"

"Yep, I sure did." Atticus smiled.

"I knew you would," Mo smiled back. "And the gang's gonna be there... Though, not Emi, hope Akito doesn't mind that."

"I'm sure he'll be fine," Atticus replied. "I heard from New York that Nanny's brother is in town, so we'll take care of Eloise because Darla has to go to London for a couple of weeks."

"Poor Darla, she's always so busy in Europe..." Mo frowned.

"I know, I really wanna do something to help, but she seems happy, at least, I think she does..." Atticus replied.

"I doubt it." Mo said.

"She's always in a good mood when she calls..." Atticus shrugged.

"I don't think so," Mo said. "I mean, she goes to Europe all the time and she barely has enough time for Eloise... I have a suspicion that whoever wants her in Europe is trying to keep her away from her own daughter."

"I agree." Atticus said.

"I can watch over her." Drell said as he appeared in the room.


"Hello, Drell." Atticus and Mo droned.

"No scream?" Drell sounded disappointed. "Not even an 'eep'?"

"I'm not afraid of you, besides, you visit all the time." Atticus replied.

"Fair point." Drell said.

"What do you want, Drell?" Atticus asked as he looked like he wanted to cuddle with his wife throughout the night.

"I can watch over Eloise for ya while you and your family go to Birdwell Island." Drell said.

"Oh, no," Atticus replied. "Eloise is coming with us actually, Nanny's going to visit her brother at their friend's house while Darla is in London for two weeks."

"Besides, I don't think you could handle someone like Eloise," Mo giggled. "I know you plan on training her and the kids when they're in high school like you did with us, but she has her father's sense of humor."

"I think I can handle her." Drell said.

Atticus and Mo smirked to that since they have heard stories about Eloise's tutor Phillip who often quit on a regular basis due to having a hard time teaching the little girl since she didn't go to school like a normal kid.

"Okay then, she's all yours for two weeks." Atticus smirked.

"I thought you said she was going with you?" Drell said.

"Oh, she is, but you're going to be her replacement nanny since Nanny is away." Mo agreed with her husband.

"How hard can it be?" Drell shrugged innocently.

After he left, the couple then started to cuddle.
