Master made his way over to where Hunter and Colleen were. "So," he began with a hug smile, "Exile and Blitz informed me of the happy news!" He reached over and gave them both a hug. "Congradulations!"
"So..you're not too mad at us, Master?" Hunter asked.
"Mad? At this? How can I be?" He laughed a bit. "I couldn't be happier for the both of you. "
"We're sorry we didn't invite you to this," Hunter tried to explain. "To tell you the truth, we were only planning to do this alone. Exile and Blitz kind of caught us, and so w had to take them along. But Blitz than surprised us when he invited my Mom, the Space Rangers, and Mrs. Blair. They also surprised us with this wonderful reception. We didn't mean to not tell you, but we wanted to get married as soon as we possibly can."
"I understand, Hunter," Master said. "Don't think I haven't noticed the looks that were passing between you, I did kind of figure something like this was eventually going to happen. I honestly couldn't be happier for you. But why did you feel you both had to do this so soon?"
Colleen came forward. "Because, Master, the truth is that Hunter and I don't want to be separated at all. Hunter and I love each other, Master, and we need to be together. Master, we know that in a month and a few weeks Hunter is leaving for Arkansas and he might not be able to be a Road Rover anymore. Master, even though I'm grateful that you mad me a Road Rover, and I'm extremely grateful that you allowed me to meet Hunter, if Hunter MUST leave the Rovers, than I'm leaving as well. I love Hunter with all me heart."
Hunter took Colleen's hand. "And I love Colleen,. Master. We want to go to Arkansas together as husband and wife and live together. "
"NO reason why you shouldn't if you love each other that much," Master said understandingly. "But, Hunter, why would you ever think that you wouldn't be allowed to be a Road Rover anymore?"
"Because I'm no longer the President's dog, and up until a few days ago the Clinton's didn't even know where they were going.."
"But you know now, right?"
"Yes, Sir."
"Well, this problem is solved than! Unfortunately, Hunter you might have to take just a temporary leave of absence from the Rovers while we finish building a brand new tube to transfer you to Headquarters." He glanced at Colleen,. "But now it seems that we also need to expand the tube to include TWO vehicles!" Colleen smiled and hugged Master happily. "Though I will admit, it's not gonna be the same around here for quite a while without the both of you. But believe me, Hunter, Colleen, I have absolutely no plans at all to replace either one of you. You are both extremely valuable to this team, that's why you were both chosen."
"So, I AM coming back as a Road Rover Master?"
"Indeed you are. You both are." Hunter cheered and embraced Colleen happily, giving her a deep kissed. They both embraced Master tightly.
"This is SUCH a night!" Hunter said. "When I woke up this morning I would NOT have predicted this! Not only am I still going to stay a Road Rover, my best friend and my true love is now my wife…and we're going to Arkansas!" He squeezed Colleen close to him. "Can this night BE any better?!"
"I don't think so, Huntie," Colleen agreed, looking into his deeply hansome eyes. "It can't be, at least for me.":
"Me, too, Colleen," HUnter said. "God, I love you so much!"
"I love you, too, Hunter," Colleen said happily.
Hunter looked at Master. "Thank you, Master. You have no ida now much that means to Colleen and me."
"Believe he, Hunter, Collen, you two will never have to worry about leaving this team. Just think of these few weeks as kind of a vacation until the tibe is ready. I'll summon the both of you once it is. Now," Master said. "I do believe we have a wedding reception to attend!" Master gestured back to Headquarters. Hunter hung back and gave Colleen a passionate kiss.
"We're staying, Colleen!' HUnter whispered, almost as if he couldn't believe it. "We're staying! Oh, Colleen, this night could NOT be any better! " He gave her a huge kiss. "I'm married to the most wonderful, most beautiful dog in the entire world, and we both get to stay Road Rovers! I think I hav to be the luckiest dog in the ENTIOREE world!"
"I'm lucky as well," Colleen agreed. "Oh, Huntie, I just lov you so much!"
"I love you, too, Colleen." He took her into his arms and kissed her on the top of her head. For a while they just held each other, listening to the water lapping on the shore, thinking about how blessed they were. This was ONE night nether one of them would forget as they made their way back to the party.
