Cherry sat at the organ bench, she decided to play the Wedding March, mostly because her husband asked her to, but she didn't seem to have any objections like she did when she was a teenager.
Lexi was being fitted into her dress as the girls were among her. "I can't believe this is really happening..." she smiled.
"You look absolutely beautiful." Estelle smiled.
"Absolutely lovely." Eloise added.
"Tres magnifique." Felicity cooed.
"You really do, Lexi." Jenny smiled.
"Thanks, girls," Lexi smiled to them. "Oh, I feel so nervous and excited."
"You're nervouscited." Estelle said.
"Uh, yeah, that." Lexi giggled to the word.
"I wonder how the boys are doing." Felicity wondered as her voice seemed to change.
"Fliss, are you okay?" Lexi asked, looking back at her. "Your voice sounds different... You look a little taller too..."
"Must've had a growth spurt." Felicity shrugged.
"Yeah, that must be it." Jenny said.
Meanwhile, with Ace and his best man and ring bearer...
"Aw, man, this is really it..." Ace sounded more nervous than both nervous and excited like Lexi was.
"Ace, don't worry, it's going to be just fine." Akito soothed.
"Oh, what if we forget the rings?" Ace grew paranoid. "What if someone stops the wedding? What if-!?"
"And stop, no one is going to stop the wedding and the rings are right where they're suppose to be." Akito told him.
"Akito's right." Vincent said.
Ace sighed. "I'm sorry, guys, I'm just so nervous!"
"Come on, this from a Guardian Strike Sword master?" Akito smirked. "We got this in the bag, nothing's gonna happen, and you and Lexi are gonna live happily ever after."
"Hmm..." Ace pouted, then looked down to him. "Maybe you're right."
"Of course I'm right, now you go out there and marry the woman, or in this case, the female rabbit you love." Akito told him.
Ace sighed and took a deep breath. "Okay... I think I'm ready."
Cherry cracked her fingers an played Sunrise, Sunset for Ace. And where at first Ace was confident, but then when he got to his spot and started to wait for Lexi, he started to get nervous again. Cherry's fingers danced across the ivory keyboard as it played the music.
"Such lovely and graceful hands..." Forte whispered as he watched his wife's youthful hands at work.
Captain Planet saw the expression on Ace's face and smirked playfully. Ace took a deep breath and gulped slightly. Cherry kept a look-out for Lexi to arrive so she could play the second song that everybody knew and loved in wedding traditions.
After a few minutes, the wedding started and Lexi came in, wearing a beautiful dress after the girls came in on cue. Cherry saw that, then played the Wedding March. The others looked to see Lexi coming, so they stood up for her as the song played. Ace smiled anxiously at the end of the aisle. Jenny, Felicity, and Estelle followed Lexi and Eloise threw her flowers with a joyful smile on her face.
Ace looked jaw-dropped as he saw how beautiful Lexi looked in her wedding dress. Lexi smiled fondly to Ace as she walked her way over to him as the girls followed her. Once they were aligned, Cherry stopped playing the organ and it was now time for Ace and Lexi to give the final 'I do's' to each other. Luckily for them, Zadavia still agreed to be the priest for the wedding.
"Dearly beloved..." Zadavia started which had the others be seated. "We are gathered here together to join Ace Bunny and Lexi Bunny in holy matrimony..."
Ace and Lexi's eyes glowed to each other as they smiled to each other as they were going to be bonded together for life.
"Ace, do you take Lexi Bunny to be your lawfully-wedded wife for as long as for you both shall live, in sickness and in health, 'til death, do you part?" Zadavia asked the male rabbit.
"I do." Ace replied with a sincere smile.
"And Lexi, do you take Ace Bunny to be your lawfully-wedded husband for as long as you both shall live, in sickness and in health, til death, do you part?" Zadavia then asked the female rabbit.
Lexi sniffled, but took a small breath. "I do."
"Well, if there is anyone who doesn't think these two should be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace." Zadavia said.
The others were silent as they didn't say anything, however...
"Wait!" a voice called.
Lexi and Ace turned their heads and they looked to the doors.
"Stop the wedding!" the voice said, stepping into the chapel.
The others gasped as they saw a rather burly older bunny and turned their heads to see who it was and they were all in slight shock, but no one was more shocked than the bride once they saw who walked in, wearing a slightly torn suit and looked slightly mangy and very aggressive, but he had a soft look on his face.
"Daddy..." Lexi whispered.
"Wow, I did not see this coming." Akito said.
"Mm-mm..." the kids shook their heads in agreement with him.
"Eh, what's up, Doc?" Ace greeted the bunny who would be his father-in-law.
"I'm sorry, Lexi, but I can't allow you to marry Ace," Lexi's father said. "I haven't even gotten a chance to walk you down the aisle... Just let me do that and I promise, I'll explain everything after you two are officially married."
Lexi thought about it a moment, her father used to hurt her a lot when she was younger, but she could see honesty and sincerity in his eyes. "Okay, Daddy... Start the music again."
Cherry groaned, then replayed the Wedding March so Lexi's father could walk her down the aisle and they redid that part of the wedding.
'Hopefully no more interruptions will happen.' Akito thought to himself.
Lexi's father scooched and excused himself to have a seat.
"Now then," Zadavia said. "By the power vested in me of Acmetropolis, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Ace smiled as his eyes sparkled, he lifted Lexi's veil and the two shared their first kiss as a married couple. The crowd cheered and clapped now that Ace and Lexi were now officially married.
After that, they all were now each having a slice of the wedding cake. Vincent got a slice with a flower on it, then saw Jenny had a slice without one. He then looked down to the flower and decided to take it off and hand it over to Jenny. Jenny looked over and noticed that and smiled fondly to him.
Akito saw Vincent and Jenny happy together and where it made him think about Emi, even if he hadn't kissed her yet. He sighed as he thought about her distantly. "I wonder how she is..." he whispered to himself.
"So, Dad, what're you doing here?" Lexi asked her long-lost father. "I thought you were in prison."
"I got to bail out," Her father told her. "I was thinking about you and that you were a crime-fighter, I'm really proud of you and I promise, I'm not sucking up to you just because you're famous now and becoming a Guardian of the Galaxy, I just want you to know I'm proud of you and I'm really sorry I hurt you..."
Lexi looked down from him.
"I was just not thinking right..." Lexi's father continued. "I missed your mother... Losing your mother was the unhappiest day of my life and you're going to be a wonderful mother someday like she was... She may not had known you and you may not had known her, but I did, and she was a wonderful bunny and losing her was the worst thing to happen to me... My depression led to unhealthy habits which made me grow from sad to angry and I shouldn't have taken it out on you... But I did..."
Lexi kept her frown on her face, even while knowing what her father was saying was truthful.
"I don't expect you to forgive me, but I want you to know that I'm very sorry, Lexi." Her father said, knowing she would need some time to take this all in.
"Sure, Dad..." Lexi said softly, trying not to show a lot of emotions due to what he's done to her in the past.
Lexi's father accepted her reaction and her behavior after everything he put her through.
"Well, ya did it, Ace!" Duck put his arm around the male bunny. "You and Lexi finally tied the knot! I knew it all along."
"Did you, Duck?" Ace glanced. "Did you?"
"Well... Uhh... I knew it would work out eventually..." Duck shrugged. "Now, how soon until the girls come for me, Rev, Tech, and Slam, hmm?"
"For that, only time will tell." Ace said.
"Well, let's hope it's soon." Duck folded his arms, leaning back in his chair.
Ace rolled his eyes with a small smirk. After the cake, it was time for the dance and then would be time for the bouquet toss. It was truly the best wedding anyone had ever been to.
"Where's Ixta?" Akito asked Captain Planet and Zadavia.
"Settling into her new home," Zadavia smiled. "She's with Optimatus, they've gotten along very nicely."
"Good to know." Akito smiled.
"So, when are you two going to start dating?" Estelle smirked at the two super adults.
"What... What are you talking about...?" Captain Planet chuckled. "We're just friends, kids."
"I'm a girl, I have an eye for these kinds of things..." Estelle said. "Especially when you guys went to that concert together."
"Yeah, and also you two seem to blush at times." Akito said.
Zadavia looked away. "Don't you children have better things to worry about, like, who's gonna make you take a bubble bath?"
"Don't try and change the subject..." Estelle put her hands behind her back. "It just means we're gonna finally have a cool aunt on Mom's side of the family."
"Yeah, and not one that is a perky goth or super famous." Akito said.
Cherry glanced at the twins as she was dipped from the dance she was doing with Forte. Darla looked over as well.
"No offense." Estelle told their aunts.
"Mm-hmm..." Cherry hummed, then flung forward to continue the dance.
"None taken." Darla added with a shrug.
"Phew!" Estelle wiped her forehead.
Zadavia and Captain Planet chuckled to that.
After the dance, it was now time for the bouquet toss.
"Okay, girls, get ready, that includes you, Zadavia." Lexi smiled.
"Very well." Zadavia said once she got into place with the other girls.
"Okay, this is it!" Lexi told the others, then walked forward a little with her back turned to them. She then took a deep breath and tossed her flowers in the air for one of the girls to catch it which usually meant that the girl to catch it would be the next to get married.
And where each of the girls began to try to catch it, but it passed each of them and landed into Zadavia's hands as Captain Planet came up next to her, as if fate had planned it.
"Hey, pal, looks like it could be your turn next." Lexi's father gently nudged Captain Planet in the arm with a smirk.
"Who knows?" Captain Planet smiled bashfully.
Zadavia smiled as she caught the bouquet, then looked over to Captain Planet, feeling that Akito and Estelle's suspicions were right.
'Looks like they were right about us.' Zadavia and Captain Planet thought to themselves.
There were pictures taken and there was a final speech for best wishes to the bride and groom.
Eventually, Ace and Lexi decided to take their temporary leave for a honeymoon.
"Well, kid, time to go," Ace knelt down to Akito's height, having already said goodbye to the others. "Thank you so much for coming to the wedding and believing in us. We're really gonna miss ya."
"I'm gonna miss you a lot too," Akito said. "Even Duck..."
"I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but I'm gonna miss you kids too." Duck said.
Simon reached for the floor. Cherry bent down and put Simon down so he could crawl around. Simon crawled over as the kids actually hugged Duck, going to miss him, admittingly enough.
"Oh, great, that little tyke probably wants to strangle me..." Duck glared down at him. "Well, all right, get it over with, just make it as quick and painless as possible."
Simon looked up. "M-M-Miss you... Too... Duck..." he seemed to utter out.
"Wait, y-you're going to miss me too, little guy?" Duck asked, surprised.
Simon stoically nodded.
"Aw, jeez..." Duck picked up Simon. "Maybe you're not so bad after all!"
After their goodbyes, Ace and Lexi left for their honeymoon and Zadavia left for her home planet after saying her last goodbye.
"Goodbye, goodbye, I'll miss you!" Eloise gave Zadavia one last hug.
"Take care, all of you..." Zadavia said before she went to Freleng to meet her brother and the ex-princess.
"I'll see you again sometime." Captain Planet smiled.
"No doubt about it." Zadavia smiled back, then surprised him with a kiss on his lips.
Akito and Estelle smiled to them, then to each other, and Zadavia was gone in a flash.
Captain Planet waved as she was gone for now. "Farewell, my dear..." he whispered to the love of his life.
"Well, we better get back home then." Atticus said.
"Yeah..." Akito and Estelle said, then weakly smiled to each other. "Jinx."
"Does that ever stop?" Vincent sighed.
"Maybe." Akito and Estelle smirked.
Cherry walked over and picked up Simon again. "Time for us all to go home..."
"Yes." Forte agreed.
The portal then opened up, ready to take them all back where they belonged. Tech, Rev, Slam, and Duck waved to their friends one last time and they all went to their respective homes.
