Hunter laughed for the first time in a long, long time. He picked Colleen up happily and twirled her around and around. She laughed and giggled, feeling almost like a puppy again. She rained kisses down upon Hunter's face happily until she found his mouth and kissed him with such love and tenderness it took their breath away. He pulled away and stared happily at her.

"I love you," he said simply.

"I love you," sh answered.

"Oh, Colleen, I'm so happy…you can't believe how happy I am right now! I fel like screaming from the hightest mountain that I'm going to marry the dog I love more than anyone in the entire world!"

"Oh, too, Huntie! I feel like telling everyone I see!"

"But NOT Blitz!" they both said together before bursting out in laughter.

"It's almost scary how we can do that," Hunter remarked. Colleen giggled. "But..you know what I really feel like doing, Colleen?"

"What?" In answer Hunter looked at the moon and howled as loudly as he could. Smiling, Colleen joined him. They looked at each other and shared a passionate embrace.

"Colleen," Hunter suddenly asked. "Do you think there are any more cocktail weenie's in the fridge?"

"I think so, Huntie. Why?"

"I think Confuse-Us is still up at this time." Hunter looked at Coleen seriously. "Colleen..let;'s get married tonight!"

"Tonight?!"
"Yeah. We can get dressed up, get the cocktail weenies, go to Confuse-Us, and ask if he'll marry us tonight."

"But..Huntie…why so soon?"

Hunter looked at her seriously. "Colleen..I love you. I love you more than anything on Earth. But if you're going to come to America that means we BOTH have to give up our Cano-Mutant forms and both be regular dogs. Colleen…I want to STAND up there in front of Confuse-Us, and SPEAK my vows to you, not bark them. I want to spend at least a month in Cano-Mutant form knowing you're my wife. But..most important.,.I can't spend one more day NOT being your husband! Please, Colleen…marry me tonight!"

Colleen looked into his eyes and smiled happily. "This is so crazy….but I'm in, let's do it!"

"Let's go take a shower, and get dressed up, I'll get the cocktail weenies, and meet me in front of the Sky Rover in an hour!"

"In an hour, yes!" Hunter scooped her up in his arms and gave her a passionate kiss.

Hunter ad Colleen both snuck into the Headquarters, carefully looking around to make sure no one could see them. Hunter went into the shower. He let the water flow over his body and grabbed the dog shampoo. He lathered himself all over. He knew he had to be extremely clean today. After all, no one in his entire life had ever been with him in that way before. Never at all. Tonight, someone would for the first time. He had to make sure he was extra, EXTRA clean tonight. Afterward he wrapped a towel around himself and snuck in the kitchen to take the cocktail weenies. Going to his room, he searched his closet for his best suit and tie. He put them on and ran a comb through his hair.

Meanwhile Colleen was digging, digging through her closet, looking for a decent dress to wear for tonight. Being a bit tomboyish she knew she didn't own that many, not at all, and they were deep, deep in her closet. Finally she was able to find at least three of them, which she laid on her bed. One was a pale peach color with no adornment and just a plain ribbon. "No," she said. "Far too plain for me wedding day!" she smiled at that thought. "Me WEDDING DAY! Oh God, it's almost time!" she glanced at the other two dresses. One was a medium length dark blue with white caps on the sleeves and belt. "No, too stiff!" She picked up the third. It was a meduim pink colored with white lace at the belt and frilly bottom. The sleeves were short and big at the shoulders. "This is it! Not exactly white, but it looked bridal enough! Hmm…wat else can I do to look like a brid? Aftr all, I am going to be one really soon." She got an idea. And went out on the beach. She picked some flowers from the nearby garden and took them to her room. She wove them ionto a headband of flowers and set it on her bed. She then went into the shower herself and lathered herself with her own dog shampoo. She scrubbed herself from top to bottom. Like Hunter, she had never been with anyone ever. By the time she had finished she looked like a Yeti. She rinsed herself off and wrapped a towel around herself. Hading back into her roo she got out her blow dryer and blew her hair dry. She stared at her image in the mirror. Her eyes were glowing with complete happiness and joy. Her hair was shining and soft due to the dog shampoo. Add to that the fact that she was in the best physical condition of her life and she could come up with only one conclusion…this was the best night of her life! Taking out the curling iron, she styled her hair until it looked just right. She changed into the pink lacy dress and took the flower headband, fashioning it to her hair with bobby pins. She took one final glance in the mirror and liked what she saw. Taking a huge deep breath, she walked right out the door. Not even glancing back at the Union Jack hanging on her wall.

Hunter was waiting on the beach next to the Sky Rover. His face lit up when he saw Colleen in a beautiful pink dress with flowers in her hair, step out the door and come right to him. He stared her her…there never was a more beautiful dog in all the world. "Wow," was all he could say. "You look beautiful!" He took her in his arms.

"You look more handsome than you ever have!" Colleen said. Hunter reached into the Sky Rover and pulled out a bouquet of roses tied with white ribbon.

"For you," he said.

"Thank you," Colleen said happily. "They're lovely."

' "Should be, they're from the White House," Hunter said. "I made a quick stop there. A bride needs a special bouquet today!"

"Oh Huntie, thank you!" Colleen said, embracing him. Hunter pulled her into his arms in a gentile tender kiss, for just a moment letting the world fade away…but they were quickly brought back to it when a large familiar voice was heard.

"COMRADES! WHAT'S GOING ON OUT HERE?"
