The following year...
"Sagwa?" Fu-Fu said, approaching Sagwa one day in the garden.
"Yes Fu-Fu?" Sagwa smiled.
"We've had so much fun this past year, and I love you a lot, so I was wondering..." Fu-Fu paused for a few seconds, blushing. "Will you marry me?"
Sagwa beamed at him.
"Of course I will!" She said.
They hugged, and later told Sagwa's family the good news. Through calligraphy they then told the humans, and later Fu-Fu flew to his bat friends to tell them. Everyone was happy for the couple, and the preparations begun.
It took time, since a few members of Sagwa's family lived far away and also since Tai-Tai wanted things to be perfect (like she always does). Sagwa and Fu-Fu didn't mind, they wanted to figure out what they would wear during the ceremony and had a feeling that it would take them a while to decide.
They turned out to be right. It took them a few months.
Sagwa finally decided on a red collar with the Chinese symbol for love written on it in gold. Fu-Fu donned a red hat shaped like an upside-down triangle. The Chinese symbol for cat was written on it in gold to represent the fact that Fu-Fu was to become part of Sagwa's family. Normally the wife joined the husband's family, but since Fu-Fu left his colony it was to be the other way around.
The wedding couldn't have been better. Fortunately Sagwa and her siblings formed a truce with the sleeve dogs a long time ago so the sleeve dogs were on their best behavior. After the ceremony there was a grand banquet, with the finest foods. Fu-Fu of course enjoyed eating foods other than bugs, but tried hard not to overdo it due to remembering the last time he ate too many dumplings.
Since Sagwa and Fu-Fu were now married they were given their own bed, which was separate but not too far away from the rest of the Miao family. The bed was a special gift from the village, and had both pillows for Sagwa and Fu-Fu and a bar that Fu-Fu could hang from when he felt like it.
Sagwa and Fu-Fu couldn't be happier, and spent the rest of their lives happily. More so when it was revealed months later that Sagwa was expecting a kitten! This caught everyone off guard, since they had no idea what the kitten would look like. There were dozens of versions of a cat-bat hybrid after all.
Everyone pondered for weeks as to what the kitten would look like. Eventually the kitten was born and revealed to be female, but it was instantly obvious that they couldn't call her a kitten. They had to call her a pup because she looked more like a bat! She looked entirely like Fu-Fu, except she had her mother's fur color (minus the ink markings of course) and eyes.
"The first Miao-Fu." The Foolish Magistrate smiled. "This is amazing."
"No more amazing than those catfish in the pond outside." Tai-Tai noted.
"True."
"What are you going to call her Sagwa?" Ba-Do asked.
Sagwa asked Fu-Fu for the parchment and ink the humans brought with them earlier. They did this with every new birth so that they could always call their cats (or cat-bat in this case) by the name the newborns' parents gave him or her. Fu-Fu flew the parchment and ink over. He and Sagwa had already decided on what name they wanted to give their kitten/pup, so Sagwa instantly wrote it down.
They named her Hui, the Chinese word for ash. After all they did first meet when Sagwa got stuck in an ash pot.
