Back in their apartment bedroom, Angel and Cherri were getting dressed.
Angel turned around, revealing his black tux and grey and blue-striped tie outfit.
"How do I look?" Angel asked, posing sexually in his fancy tuxedo.
"Stylish," Cherri replied, posing in her own long red formal dress. "How do I look?"
"As sexy as ever," Angel said with a smirk.
Cherri smiled for a moment before her smile fell and she asked, "So, are you sure we can help Vaggie?"
Angel looked away unsure and said, "I don't know, but we'll certainly try. And if all goes right, we can escape."
Just then, Angel's phone began to ring.
Angel carefully picked up his phone and answered, "Hello?"
Molly was frantically yelling "Angel! Angel! Angel! You're not gonna believe this! I called Charlie and she's getting Sir Pentious to crash the wedding!"
"Wait, what?!" asked Angel, surprised.
Angel put the phone on speaker, and Molly said, "It's true. I don't know how they did it, but Charlie has gotten that snake demon involved. She wanted you two to be ready for when they get involved."
Cherri's eye opened wide open and she said, "Holy shit! Really?!"
"Yes," Molly said. "She sent me pictures to prove it. Hold on!"
Molly sent the picture and, sure enough, there was Charlie taking a selfie with a smiling Niffty, a grinning Husk who just gave a shy wave, and an annoyed Sir Pentious.
Angel and Cherri looked at the photo with surprised grins across their faces.
"Holy fucking shit," Cherri said with a pleased grin. "I can't believe Pentious is helping."
"Neither can I," Angel said. "Never would have expected that."
Cherri looked back at the photo and said, "I'll be damned."
Ping. Just then, another photo came through. It was Niffty holding up Fat Nuggets.
"Fat Nuggets!" Angel squealed. "My baby! I've missed him so much!"
"Awwww," Cherri said. "That's sweet, but isn't bringing Fat Nuggets putting him in danger?"
"Husk said he knew you'd be upset if Fat Nuggets was left alone," explained Molly.
Angel smiled at Husk's consideration, "Awww, I knew Husky cared."
Molly then interjected, "I'm coming to the wedding, Angel. I'll do what I can to help you save Vaggie!"
"Thanks, sis!" Angel replied. "We're up against overlords. The odds are not in our favor, so we'll need all the help we can get."
"No problem, big brother," said Molly. "Now, finish getting your asses ready. I just talked to Arackniss and he said he and dad were on their way to pick you up."
"Don't worry," Angel said with a smile. "I just gotta style my hair really quickly and I'm good to go."
"Me too," Cherri said, looking at the mirror on the vanity and adding her final touches to her makeup.
"Good," Molly said cheerfully. "I'll see you when Dad picks me up!"
And with that, Molly hung up the phone.
As soon as she hung up, Angel and Cherri heard a knock on the front door.
"Must be your brother," Cherri whispered. "I'm almost ready. I just need to put up my hair. Could you stall him for a minute?"
"Sure," Angel said, running the comb through his hair one more time. "I'll get the door. Go get ready in the bathroom."
"Okay, see you soon, 'honey'," Cherri said with a chuckle as she shut herself into the bathroom.
Angel headed to the door and opened it to see Arackniss standing there.
"Can I help you, 'Niss?" asked Angel.
"Yeah, it's almost time to go to the wedding," Arackniss replied. "Are you and your wife ready to go?"
"Yes," Angel replied. "Cherri's just in the bathroom finishing up her hair."
"Okay, can I come in please?" Arackniss asked.
Angel hummed playfully for a moment before he replied, "Well…I suppose you did say please. Come on in."
With that, Angel stepped out of the way, letting his older brother annoyedly enter the apartment.
"I'll be out in a minute, dear!" Cherri called out from the bathroom.
"Alright, my love!" Angel gushed. "I'll be waiting with Arackniss until you're done."
"Okay, sweetie!" Cherri gushed just as overdramatically.
Barely able to conceal his jealousy, Arackniss followed Angel into the sitting area and sat with him.
"So, have you enjoyed your honeymoon?" asked Arackniss.
"Yeah, now that your perverted eyes are off my wife," Angel said pointedly.
Arackniss crossed his arms and said, "Oh, you're gonna be on about that now? Look, Anthony. I had a right to be suspicious. You were just so willing to turn over a new leaf for us after all that fight you put up in the beginning. It didn't make sense and it still doesn't."
Arackniss cocked an eyebrow and gave his brother a cold stare, hoping to get him to crack.
Thankfully, Angel had grown immune to his older brother's dirty looks a long time ago.
"What doesn't make sense about it?! I went through the therapy and realized I needed to do what you wanted. You gave me two choices. Live in the basement with Dr. Red going through therapy until I got lobotomized or return to the family and follow my suppressed feelings for my gal. What else am I supposed to do?" Angel shrugged with all four arms.
Arackniss shook his head in disbelief and replied, "I still don't believe it. Nobody changes that fast."
"I don't know what to tell you," Angel said, crossing his arms. "I did, big brother. I am happier being where I am now than I was in that basement or on the streets."
Arackniss took out a cigarette, lit it, and started to smoke, "Mhmmm…"
Angel sighed and said, "Look, I know it might be hard on you, but could you try not to be a jackass to my wife for one day?"
Before Arackniss could answer, Cherri called out from the bedroom, "I'm ready!"
Angel smirked and replied, "Come on out and let us see ya, honey!"
Cherri stepped into the living area with her beautiful red dress and her hair in a fancy updo.
Angel stood up, admiring his best friend's beauty, ""Goodness me, babe! You look beautiful! Don't you agree, Arackniss?"
Arackniss blushed jealously and said, "Yeah, really nice."
Angel then hooked his arm with Cherri's, "Are you ready to go? They're here with the car. Do you have your phone and charger? You'll need to contact me if you get lost."
Cherri rolled her eyes as she opened her shoulder bag and showed him the items plus his phone and charger.
"Honestly, sweetie, what would you do without me?" asked Cherri playfully.
"Probably be lonely," Angel replied.
"Awwww!" Cherri said in a super mushy tone before she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Angel then got struck with an idea. He lifted Cherri up in his arms and gave her a deep kiss. Knowing the reason behind his actions, she kissed him back.
Arackniss watched on in bitter jealousy, envious of what he always wanted but never managed to get.
Angel and Cherri kissed even harder to stifle the sounds of their laughter. But after another minute, they finally stopped kissing.
"Woah there, honey!" exclaimed Cherri. "You need to be careful. You could mess up my hair."
Angel lowered Cherri to the ground and said, "You're right. I don't want to mess that up till later tonight."
Cherri purposefully chuckled obnoxiously out loud.
Arackniss just growled and asked, "Are you two ready to go?"
Cherri glanced back at Arackniss and retorted, "Are you?"
One of Arackniss's eyes twitched annoyedly and he said, "Yes."
"Then, let's go," said Cherri.
Angel came up with an idea to keep the ball rolling and asked, "Want me to carry you down the stairs, Cherri?"
Cherri chuckled and said, "That would be so sweet, dear. Thank you!"
Angel picked up Cherri and carried her out of the condo.
Angel then looked at his jealously glaring brother and said, "Shut the door and lock it for us. Won't you, Arackniss?"
Arackniss growled and grumbled under his breath, but he did what he asked.
After locking the door, Arackniss followed the happy couple to the elevator and pressed the buttons to open it since Angel kept carrying Cherri in his arms.
Arackniss cocked an eyebrow and asked, "Do you plan on carrying her all the way to the car?"
"Damn right I do!" Angel said with a wicked laugh.
"Well, aren't you an angel?" Cherri smiled as she kissed Angel on the cheek.
Angel grinned and gave her another peck on the lips.
Arackniss rolled all eight of his eyes as the elevator finally reached fhe floor.
Angel carried Cherri out of the elevator and into the parking lot with Arackniss following at a distance behind them.
Unfortunately for Angel, his father was waiting by the limo.
Angel felt his heart skip a beat as he said, "Hello, dad."
Henroin smiled and replied, "Hello, Anthony. Is your wife okay?"
"Oh, yes," Angel said, quickly getting Cherri back to her feet. "I just felt like carrying her down as a nice, romantic gesture."
"Yeah, I'm totally fine," Cherri backed him up.
Henroin puffed out the smoke of his cigar and said, "I know you two are newlyweds, but you still need to act decent in public. So, don't go overboard with any hanky-panky while we're at the wedding, capische?"
"You don't need to worry about that, dad," Angel lied. "We won't do anything to embarrass you."
"Ditto," Cherri added.
"Alright then," said Henroin. "Let's get going."
Suddenly, the limo door opened, and Dr. Red greeted the group from inside the car.
Angel stepped back nervously, but Cherri gripped his hand to show her support.
That action calmed Angel down enough to give a fake smile and speak up again, "Hey there, doctor. What are you doing here?"
"Your father invited me to go to the wedding with you as a guest," answered Dr. Red. "Isn't that nice?!"
"Yeah, doc," Angel said more sincerely than he felt. "That's great."
Noticing Angel's unease, Cherri spoke up, "Oh, we're riding there in a limo. How fancy!"
"Of course, it is a big occasion after all," Dr. Red said. "Come on in."
Without another word, Angel and Cherri stepped into the limo and sat on the other side. Henroin climbed in after them and sat next to the doctor.
"So, is there any champagne or liquor in here for me and the Mrs.?" asked Angel, trying to light up the mood.
Dr. Red picked up bottles of alcohol from a storage compartment within the limo and said, "I don't see why not."
Dr. Red poured a wine glass for Angel who then poured a glass for Cherri.
"Cheers, babe," Angel said as the two clinked their glasses.
Henroin watched his son interacting with his wife and smiled, "I'm so glad to see you two are happy. I knew you would be. Much better than that life you had before chasing dicks around, isn't it?"
It took every ounce of self-control Angel had in his system to contain his anger and rage so he could turn to his father and say, "I agree. Thanks, Dad!"
"Don't mention it," Henroin said, giving Angel a pat on the back.
Meanwhile, Arackniss was watching the scene in a mix of jealousy and complete disbelief. Only the sounds of his father shouting could break him out of his reverie.
"Arackniss!" shouted Henroin. "Get your ass in the car! It's time to go!"
Arackniss reluctantly shook out of his reverie and stepped into the limo. Once the door was shut, the limo sped away to their destination.
