L- Love

Summary: Shenzi Tuck and Chuckie Finster are believed to have had a thing for one another, ever since they were toddling, by the adults. Are they right? Will the two best friends ever get hitched?

On a nice day, Tommy Pickles, Phil and Lil DeVille, and Chuckie Finster were playing tag around the backyard, as Dil Pickles watched from his C-shaped pillow by the big tree. A bit before Angelica Pickles, who was in a white and pastel green flower girl dress, arrived at the house, Shenzi Tuck came dashing in the backyard. "Hey, guys!" She ran up to the toddlers. "What're you doin'?"

Chuckie felt his heart pound in his chest whenever she was around, but didn't know why. She was currently wearing a black angel-sleeve dress with a pink leopard 2-layer skirt, and a pink ribbon bow on the waistline, a pink bow headband, and classic Converse low-tops. Her training pants were shown under her dress. "We're playing tag," Tommy replied, "Want to join us?"

"Okay!" She nodded with enthusiasm, then ran up to Chuckie and touched his shoulder. "You're it!" With cute giggles, she started running around the yard, joining her friends in the game.

After a few seconds, Angelica came up in her fancy dress, carrying a basket. "Hi, Angelica!" Chuckie greeted her. "Would you like to be it? 'Cause you know, I'm it right now, and if I touch you, you can be it!" Angelica looked annoyed. "I mean, if well uh, if you want to."

"Do I look like I'm dressed to play tag with a bunch of babies? I'm a flower girl!" She started picking yellow daisies out of the ground, and putting them in her basket.

"Um, Phil, would you like to be it?" Chuckie asked the twin boy.

"Wait, Chuckie!" Shenzi chimed in. "You can't ask someone if they want to be it! You have to tag 'em!"

"He's a stinky tagger," Lil remarked.

"Oh yeah? Well, you tag too hard!" Chuckie retorted.

"Nuh-uh!" The twin girl shook her head, with her arms crossed.

"Uh huh!"

"Nuh-uh!"

"Uh huh!"

"Um, maybe we should, better play another game," Tommy suggested over the argument, "Uh, who wants to play hide and go peep?"

"I do!" Chuckie waved his hand.

"I do!" Shenzi repeated his actions.

Angelica stopped what she was doing upon hearing them, and turned to the toddlers. "Hey! You babies just said "I do"!" She pointed out. "You know what that means, don't ya?"

"Um, we want to play hide and go peep?" Chuckie guessed.

"No! It means you gotta get married, and have a wedding!"

"What's a wedding?" Lil asked her, as the blonde walked up to Shenzi, and gave her some of the flowers from her basket.

"It's when two people say "I do", and get married!" Angelica explained. "And then they're stuck together forever, for better or worser." She took a white cloth out of her basket, and tucked it under Shenzi's headband like a veil.

"Do we get to use glue?" Shenzi requested, but Angelica's unamused look said otherwise.

"Okay, you got your hat, and your flowers. Time to dress the gloom!" She took a small, purple bow off her basket, and walked up to Chuckie.

"Uh, I don't know about this." The bow was stuck onto the front of his shirt. "But I don't know how to be a gloom."

"All done!" Angelica walked up to the twins, and led them to the black-haired girl. "Now Phil, Lil, you guys get to... throw Shenzi away."

"Yay! I like weddings!" Phil smiled with excitement.

"Um, Angelica?" Tommy spoke up. "Can I play too?"

"Sure, Tommy. You can be the banister. He's the one that marries 'em. Now, where are we gonna find a ring bear?" After getting an idea, she walked up to Dil.

"But I don't know if I want to be stucked together forever with Shenzi, Tommy. Wouldn't she want to get back to her daddy someday? I don't want to hold her back."

"It's okay, Chuckie. It's gonna be fun!"

"Okay, Dil's the ring bear!" Angelica handed the 4-month-old baby two pacifiers. "And now, here comes the star of the wedding! The most beautifulest flower girl in the whole wide world!" She started tossing the rest of the flowers around. "Here come the bride! Here come the bride! Here come the bride! Here come the bride!" She turned to the toddlers. "Get over here, you dumb babies!" They walked up to her. "Here come the bride! Okay, time to throw the bride away!" Phil and Lil grabbed Shenzi from behind, and were just barely able to lift her, but then, the three of them toppled over. They all laughed as they regained themselves. Angelica whispered in Tommy's ear, telling him what to say for the pretend ceremony.

"Who wants to be married?" He asked his friends.

"I do!" Shenzi waved her hand that didn't carry flowers.

Chuckie stayed quiet, but Angelica harshly nudged him. "I do! I guess..." The black-haired girl felt uneasy at his hesitance, and didn't know why.

Angelica then turned to Dil, who was playing with the pacifiers. "Hey, ring bear! Hand 'em over!" She held out her open hand to him, but he kept the pacifiers away. With a growl of frustration, she put her basket down and used both hands in attempts to pull them out of his hands. After a few tugs, she was successful; Dil looked sad, but kept quiet. "Here you go." She put one "ring" on Shenzi and Chuckie's fingers each. She then whispered in Tommy's ear again.

"I now denounce you man and wife!"

"Eh, close enough." Shenzi looked excited, while Chuckie looked nervous. "Okay, time for your wedding deception. Good thing I saved a little cake." She took a small piece out of her basket, broke it into two pieces, then gave them to the "couple." "You're s'posed to smush it in each other's faces!" She then ate her own piece.

"Fun!" Shenzi then pushed her cake onto Chuckie's face.

"Shenzi!" He exclaimed, then pushed his piece onto her face. She only laughed harder in response, and ate it up.

"Got any cake for us?" Phil asked Angelica eagerly.

"No time for that! These two gotta leave on their money-moon!" She pointed to the tool shed, and guided the "newlyweds" to the area. After they were seated in front of the trees, Angelica took out a juice box. "Ta-da!" She gave one to each of them, then left them alone.

After a few sips, Chuckie spoke up. "Well, I guess being married is okay, if you get juice." He and Shenzi then drank some more.

"Looks like they're having fun on their money-moon," Tommy remarked to the twins. "Uh, wish I could've gone."

"Yeah, me too," Phil agreed, "I'm thirsty."

"Me too," Lil added.

Meanwhile, Angelica was cleaning out the playhouse set up in the backyard. Or, she was tossing stuff out. After opening the door, she saw Chuckie and Shenzi still sitting at the shed, sipping juice. She walked up to them, her tiny hands clenched into fists. "Okay, money-moon's over! Time to go!" They followed her to the newly clean playhouse, where she pushed him in. "This is where you're gonna live now! Bye!" She then closed the door.

The two turned to look at the playhouse interior. "Wow! Our very own house!" Chuckie exclaimed.

"What'll we do now?" Shenzi wondered aloud.

"I dunno. What do married peoples do?"

"Hmm... they kiss each other," She shrugged, "That's all I know." She then kissed his cheek, surprising him and making a blush grow. She giggled at his stupefied expression. "Or, we can do something else. But what? You have any ideas?"

"Um... we can just talk, and I can make food."

"Okay!" Shenzi nodded, and they sat at the table. "So..." She hesitated.

"That's a uh, a nice dress," Chuckie complimented her.

"Thanks!" She timidly squirmed in her seat a bit. "My daddy boughted it for me!" They then stayed quiet, not knowing else what to say. "Okay um, you want to make some yummy food now?"

After inviting Tommy and the twins to "dinner" and watching "TV," and attempting to play outside, Angelica told the "couple" that they had no time for fun, because they had a baby now, giving Dil to Chuckie. They were then forced back into the house, before the door was slammed shut.

"Wow! We got a baby," He remarked.

"I wish we talkedid about it first. I don't know if I'm ready."

"Well, maybe it'll be fun!" Just then, Dil spit up on Chuckie's shirt. "D'oh!- Sometimes."

After several minutes of experiencing the marriage life, when Didi brought Dil into the house, the two toddlers decided to "marry" Tommy and the twins, so they all could be "stuck together" forever. When Angelica came up with a red wagon carrying Reptar and Cynthia and towed tin cans, she was outraged at what she saw, but that didn't stop them. Tommy offered for her to "marry" them all too, but she refused and walked away, to Chuckie, Shenzi, and the twins' relief.

After they ran around for a while, they decided to play with Tommy's ball. "Hey um, Chuckie?" Shenzi turned to the redhead next to her.

"Yeah?" He turned to her after pushing the ball to Lil.

"Do you think we'll ever get married, for real, like mommies and daddies do? When we're growed up?"

He had to think about that for a second. "Hmm... I think we will."

"Maybe... to each other?"

That surprised him; Did she really want to marry him, for real? "Um, po-possibly."

A shy smile grew as Tommy pushed the ball into her arms. "I hope so."

Years passed, and soon enough, Shenzi and Chuckie were now high school graduates. Not to mention they had been dating for almost 5 years now, and their love was strong as ever. She realized that she had a crush on him when they were both 11 years old, when he had a thing for Nicole Boscarelli; The jealousy she felt pretty much confirmed it. But they decided to wait until high school to start dating, and stay casual friends for until then.

One day, as they were on their way to a date in the mall, she was unaware that her loving boyfriend had a very special event planned. For the date, she was wearing a pink bralet, a black peplum tube top that showed her now fit, flat stomach, black mid-rise skinny jeans with studs along the front pockets, black leather Converse low-tops, a black belt with pyramid studs and pink bows, black rose earrings, and a pink hair extension in her long bangs, which now covered the left side of her face, including her black cat-eye prescription glasses.

As he drove to the mall in his new car, Shenzi couldn't help but stare at him from the passenger seat. Throughout the years, he grew into quite a handsome boy. His red hair, which was still wild, barely reached his shoulders, freckles still decorated his cheeks, and his purple rectangular glasses framed his eyes. And he wasn't very muscular, or not at all, but he was still thin and fit. She didn't think of him as a "man", because he was too cute for that term. "Enjoying the show?" His amused voice snapped her back to reality, as he chuckled at her flushed cheeks. They were at a red light that took a minute or two to change, so he took the time to look at her.

"S-sorry," She stammered.

"For what?"

"... For staring."

"It's okay," He assured her, with a quick kiss in her still raven-colored hair, making her blush deepen. The light turned green, so he continued driving; Without any more encounters with slow traffic lights, they made it to their destination. He parked in a spot close to the mall, then hand-in-hand, they walked into the building.

Chuckie's heart filled up with excitement as they each ordered classic hot dogs from the Burger King booth, with ketchup and mustard on his, and the same for hers but with relish as well, and small fries and drinks. They each got a Pepsi for their drinks, before they sat at a table with only two chairs. As they ate, he waited with anticipation for the perfect time to come, when he could make his move. He briefly felt inside the front, left pocket on his jeans for reassurance. "You okay?" Shenzi asked him. "What're you doing?"

"Oh, I uh, I was just... making sure my car keys were in there," He replied.

"Ohhh, okay," She nodded, while eating one of her fries after dipping it in ketchup. He felt relieved that she bought that. She may be very academically intelligent, but she had her gullible moments. Either way, she was adorable in his eyes. Not to mention beautiful.

This may be hard to believe, but the time he and Shenzi got "married" when they were toddlers was still somewhat fresh in his memory. He couldn't remember everything from that day, but he remembered enough. Something like that was hard to forget, especially when the girl you "marry" becomes your actual girlfriend.

When "Marry Me" by Jason Derulo started playing throughout the mall, his heart jumped. This was it. "Um, Sh-Shenzi?" She looked at him, with curiosity in her eyes. "I, I uh..." Dang it! He had it rehearsed with Kimi's help, and everything! How could he forget it now, when it meant the most?!

"Are you okay?" She asked him.

He sighed in distress. "Okay Shen, I had this planned out, but it seemed that it has abandoned me." She looked confused. "So... I'm going to just say it." He reached into his pocket, and took out a black ring with an 18kt white diamond. She gasped in surprise as it shined from the mall lights. "Shenzibeth Callie-Belle Tuck?"

"Y-yes?" She stamered, already getting emotional.

His smile grew, as he held the ring to her. "Will you marry me?"

She was on the verge of hyperventilating, before giving him her answer. "Oh, yes! Yes, I will!" Mall patrons cheered around them, as she practically leapt across the small table, and forced her lips on his, with emotional tears falling down her cheeks.

21-year-old Shenzi and Chuckie Finster, along with 21-year-old Wally and Phil DeVille watched as their respective children, 3-year-old Maya Finster and freshly-turned 2-year-old twins Parker and Harper DeVille, played in the Finsters' backyard. Maya had her father's skin color, albeit with a vague grey tint, his ears, his wild red hair, although it was slightly darker, his brown eyes, and his adorable freckles, while her skin tint, round black nose, and eye size came from her mother. Parker and Harper had Wally's long eyelashes and dirty blonde hair, and Phil's brown eyes. Parker was around 2 ½ minutes older than Harper, who had a purple bow in her short hair.

"Hey, guys!" Maya came up to them after they finished a game of tag. "You wanna play wedding? Harper, you be the flower girl, while Parker will be my gloom!"

Shenzi and Chuckie glanced at each other with knowing smiles. Now, that sounded familiar, didn't it?

(A/N: I hope L was good! You know the disclaimer. I pretty much came up with the last part on the spot, so it's very short.)
