Epilogue (Todd)
#26 of First Steps 2: Happy Trails
August 2016
I walk down the aisle slowly. The white dress fit me perfectly. Around me is about twenty of me and Wendell's closest friends. Among them is Angie, Dexter, Tom, Toby, and Bruno. Wendell is on stage wearing a tux that makes his took cute. I walk up the two steps onto the stage and face my soon-to-be husband.
"Hi cutie." He whispers. I just smile and blush.
The priest, who's a green and black striped tiger who looks scary, starts to speaks once I'm up here. "Friends, family; we're here to celebrate the marriage of Todd McCarthy and Wendell Tripp." He turns to me. "Todd, do you take Wendell to be your lawfully wedded husband?" He asks.
I look Wendell in the eyes and say the answer I've been dying to say (literally): "I do."
The presets then turns to Wendell. "Wendell, do you take Todd to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
"Yes I do." He says, being his average self. I look towards our friends. They all look so happy for us. I look towards the back row and notice a hallucination of Jani and Steele watching us. They're not real, I tell myself, but I'm sure if the were here, they'd be happy too.
"... Wendell, you may now kiss the bride." The priest says. Me and him look at each other. We take each other's paws.
"Lifetime, buddy?" Wendell asks.
"Always." I say. We both lean and lock muzzles. I hear crowd applaud and whistle. This kiss will seal our lives together.
Forever.
