The day of the wedding was finally here. Near a small village the wedding venue was set up with several tables for guests to sit at during the reception. For the sake of convenience for the guests a large box of tissues was set in the center of the table. Not far away was a large table with a multitude of covered foods including the humbly small wedding cake. Mandrake and Lothar had asked Lothar's parents if they knew any catering services that handled a potentially wide variety of foods fit for carnivores to vegans alike and it seemed Lothar's parents knew of some good services. Made sense seeing as the couple were traveling merchants that had been all over the Digital World long before Mandrake and Lothar were even born. Not far from the tables was a sound system that was manned by a fairly mellow looking Lucemon wearing a headset. Apparently he was hired by Lothar's parents as well to handle the music. It was like the IceLeomon known as Crystal and her husband Fang, who was a GrapLeomon with solid black armor and gold turbines, were seemingly miracle workers. However the pair had been working with Mandrake's father, a Jijimon named Theron to pull off getting everything set up.
Not far away from the outdoor set up was a small and cute building that those who didn't show up in their clothes for the wedding could get dressed. It had multiple rooms for that purpose. Inside one of the rooms Mandrake was getting ready. Meanwhile outside Lothar, who was wearing a magnificent white suit designed by Mona which was complimented with a red tie. Mandrake and Lothar's kids were also waiting for Mandrake to finish getting ready. As for timid little Circe, who was now currently dressed in a lovely forest green dress with rose patterns elegantly sewn into the skirt of the dress minus her typical cape which hid her eight small spider legs from sight, was standing not far from Lothar as he was one of the few she was comfortable with. She was holding a basket of flower petals not forgetting the task she had in the wedding but it didn't stop her from being nervous.
Her older sister, a MagikGrowlmon named Lilly, was wearing a similar dress to Circe but only with a spider lily pattern sewn into the skirt of the dress. LJ was wearing a humble but still nice black suit instead of his typical clothing his sword resting against one of the tables set up for dining. Kshin was wearing a dark blue suit with a red bow tie which was part of one of his stage costumes that Mona designed a few months ago that he had grown fond of. Much like LJ he had his belongings near one of the tables. Grace and Mona were wearing a lovely pair of matching lavender dresses and Mona was in her champion form of Angoramon instead of her normal rookie form of Terriermon Assistant.
Also in a humble suit was Theron. The said Jijimon was standing not far from everyone looking as if he was deep in thought. Meanwhile, as if not noticing, Crystal and Fang were near their son Lothar. Crystal, being a bit of a tomboy, was wearing a nice black suit with a lovely blue silk cape. However she was still wearing her axe on her back. As for Fang he was not wearing any formal clothing seeing as he typically wore armor and saw it as a bit much.

Zack stood in front of a mirror, trying to stand very still and smiling even as his legs and arms began to ache from being held so still for this long.
"Stop squirming!" Marigold shouted which ironically made her father jump more than he would have if she hadn't said anything. He looked down at her and readjusted his leg into the spot where she wanted it so she could remeasure and do secondary stitching for the thousandth time. She would never be satisfied with her work, always the perfectionist as with any artist she rubbed some of the golden fabric to make it sparkle and shine.
"Alright. I'm pulling the perfectionist cord. You have thirty seconds to wrap up whatever you're doing or else we're going to be late." Zack said, speaking with an authority of this being something that they had set up beforehand. Something he could say that would jar Marigold out of her artistic spiral. She sighed and nodded, a few last quick jolts of her needle and thread and they stepped out. Zack pulling on a special custom helmet to make their way toward the festivities.

So today was the day. The day those two finally got hitched. Well at least someone was happy and was able to find peace with all this chaos going around. Ghost would now be at the wedding reception along with his twin Digimon. He had a lot to do. Starting with his choice of style.
He and Yara and Mary had to go and get fit and then dressed up for the wedding. This was easier said than done. Ghost was picky with what he wore and Mary hated getting dressed up.
How he was doing it for friends of theirs and they even helped them out a lot back when the trio first started. "It's been so long since we last saw them two. I still remember when we first met them. It was like yesterday to me. That is because, in the human world, it was yesterday." As he said that he would let out a laugh. As the trio was finally dressed. Ghost was wearing a classic black suit with a top hat a came and his digivice. As for Yara, she was wearing a light purple dress which favors a princess. Well, she is a princess so it made sense. As for Mary, she had opted to not wear anything fancy as she still did not like the pair but then again she didn't like anybody including her sister and tamer.
"Ok, you two let's hit the food stand and eat everything we could before we get kicked out." Yet another joke was made as he started to laugh. The trio would make their way to the food section.

As the festivities were getting ready to begin, there would be one last group of four showing up at the last minute, barely managing to arrive in time. Hana and Sakura were wearing blue and green dresses of identical design, with Sakura using her holosuit so that the dress would fit better and wouldn’t need alterations for her wings and whatnot. Data was using his holosuit as well, along with a formal tuxedo, but that was more out of practicality since Guardromons tended to take up a lot of space. Rush, however, simply decided to attend in his default Morphomon form, his only sign of dressing up for the wedding being a black bowtie. “Okay, I don’t think they’ve started yet, so we should be good.” Hana quietly said as the quartet approached the wedding venue. Despite their formal appearance, one look at Hana or Sakura’s faces would show someone who was noticeably frazzled a bit from preparing for the event. One week’s notice for the wedding really didn’t leave much time to obtain appropriate clothes AND make it all the way to the venue from Terminus, and that stress was still visible in the form of tired eyes and a strained smile on each of their faces. Data had his usual “tired babysitter” face that he usually wore, while Rush was his normal, endless bundle of energy as he literally bounced along the ground. “Ehehehe! This is so cool! This is the first wedding I’ve ever seen and it’s going to be amaaaazing!” Rush rambled, unable to hold in his excitement for the event. How Rush could still be so energetic despite the time crunch is something that nobody will ever know. |

Sure Lothar was visibly nervous but that was momentarily forgotten as Zack, Ghost, and Hana's groups came into sight. Taking a deep breath he approached them one by one with Circe now clinging to one of his arms. Didn't seem to bother the Leomon as she was just uneasy as Mandrake still hadn't finished yet. Mona caught sight of Zack and Marigold too and approached the father and daughter pair after stopping by Kshin's bag lifting a similiar dress to Lilly and Circe but smaller and clearly made for a Fanbeemon with Marigolds being the flower theme on the forest green dress and said "Here you go, Darling, a matching dress to the rest of the flower girls. I hope you enjoy the work I put into it for this event."
Mona then backed up as Lothar approached to give the timid Circe her space. She knew of the child's fear of adult females and was eager to be one of them that left a good impression. Besides at her age she had learned some degree of patience. Lothar watched as Ghost, Yara, and Mary made their way to the food and shook his head with a chuckle. Maybe the tamer felt out of place so he would talk to him in a moment. Approaching Zack and Marigold with Circe in tow he said "It's nice to see you both here. Where is Violet? Did they not want to show up or are they still in your digivice, Zack?"
Circe peeked out from behind Lothar and asked "T-That outfit is nice, Zack. Did Marigold m-make it for you?" Little by little Lothar had noticed that Circe's stutter was slowly fading. Whether it was because she was slowly growing more confident and less fearful he couldn't say. All he knew was when the shy child spoke it wasn't always with a stutter now.
As Hana's group got closer Lothar said "Excuse us, Zack. Marigold." He moved closer to Hana and her party and said "Hana. Data. Rush. Sakura. It's nice to see you all again." Then noticing how frazzled the group except for Rush somehow looked he said "Sorry the whole wedding seemed rushed. Mandrake has been more impatient than normal. Maybe he was just excited at the prospect of getting married." Lothar did admit a week Digital World time seemed much and wondered what Mandrake was thinking but was glad most of the planning was handled by his mother. For someone not magical in nature Lothar's mother Crystal seemed like a magician when it came to finding not only a nice venue but catering and even hired a Lucemon DJ that was currently playing soft disco music giving him a vibe that the young one was familiar. He quickly shook it off as the DJ was just waiting for things to start so Lothar then indicated the MagikGrowlmon some distance away now messing with her hair before retyeing her scarf into her hair and said "You remember Lilly. As you can see she has grown since you guys last saw her." Then he looked down at Circe who was peeking cautiously out as he said "And the little one with me is our youngest child, Circe." Circe was understandably quiet as the young spiderling didn't know Hana's group.
Meanwhile Crystal approached Ghost's group before the tomboyish IceLeomon said "I see you young ones have gotten hungry before the vows were said." She chuckled before, in a gentle motherly tone, said "I understand as I was young once too. There are some appetizers on the far side of the table. I'm sure both Mandrake and Lothar will be glad you three showed up." With that Crystal rejoined her husband Fang.
Theron still looked distracted but this time but Kshin and Lilly noticed. However Kshin was standing next to his bag. On the table near where his bag was at was a red and gold trimmed pillow upon which two familiar necklaces belonging to Mandrake and Lothar sat. Yes Kshin had been given the role equivalent to the ring bearer and since Mandrake and Lothar had decided to use the necklaces also as the equivalent of wedding rings since the half heart sapphires on a gold chain had been used to propose as well months ago. Meanwhile Lilly was silently observing Theron.

Zack's new outfit was a variant of his superhero garb, a custom motorcycle jacket and loose fitted athletic bottoms. The colors however were totally different. Where his costume's majority yellow had been it was now a rich and formal black with the black and bronze highlights replaced with a glittering gold that sparkles slightly with flecks of material every time his motion slightly shifted. His helmet was polished to a mirror shine as he unlatched it and lifted it off of his head, tucking it under his arm and giving a handsome smile.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world. We ALMOST missed it for the sake of Marigold's perfectionism but not for the world, no." Zack said as he softly teased his daughter. Marigold smiled at that before she was presented with her dress. Giggling and looking it over, spinning and twirling in the air in pure delight as she threw it on right there in the open. Twirling in the air as she inspected every possible inch and angle.
"You and I." Marigold buzzed right up to Mona with a sparkle in her eyes and a flashing of color on her face as she admired the dress and admired its maker. "You and I are going to find time to swap techniques because this thing is a work of ART, you hear me?" Marigold said, doing a barrel roll in the air that sent the skirt of her dress fluttering in waves that she could admire against the sunlight.
"What do you mean? Violet's right...oh no." Zack said, looking at his left hand side and not finding the little polished robot Digimon he had been expecting. "Marigold! Where's your sibling?!" Zack shouted, cupping his hands in front of his face to jar Marigold out of her conversation with Mona.
Marigold hovered up and up and up, climbing several stories in the air until she was above the roofs of all the buildings meant for the ceremony. Doing a spin in the air to search the horizon she pointed one of her legs out and Zack stomped off in that direction, mumbling softly to himself.
He came back several moments later with Violet held under his arm, the small robot was positively COVERED in small brush leaves and petals of a deep yellow color, smudges of powdered pollen clinging to their clean exterior.
"I had read it was traditional to present flowers to the happy couple." Violet extended their arms with a perfectly organized, semi circular bundle of small yellow flowers in their arms, wrapped up at their base with a neatly tied wooden branch.
"Meaning they got distracted by a bush of wildflowers on the walk here and decided to take up flower arranging without telling anybody. As is the want of my children." Zack said, giggling and shrugging at the presentation of the flowers. "Just be thankful they didn't catch a look at your wishlist. You put any appliances on there or the like and they're turn your gift into a kaiju."

As the duo pertook in eating the food. Yara was the only one to not do such a thing. As she knew well. Yet her sister and tamer had other plans. Not to be rude or disrespectful but because they simply did not know any better. As the Iceleomon came over and saw the trio. She commented on them not being able to wait to eat the food. But with a loving and warming smile.
She ok'd the group to eat have much as they wanted. This put a smile on their faces as the group continue to eat as they wanted to.
Yara would only shake her head and smile. As she went on to look for the Mandrake and Lothar family. Especially to offer her apology for her sister's behavior earlier. Meanwhile, Ghost would start to look around the altar as he did not know too many people there. "Ouch those are popular and whatnot. I wonder what could be taking them so long?" As he said that he would drink down a soda.

At the mention of Mandrake's unusual rush to get the wedding done, Hana shared a brief look of concern with Data and Sakura. The possibility of Mandrake having his mind affected by an outside source was a valid thing to worry about, but the trio would keep that thought to themselves for now. It would be best to discuss that possibility somewhere private, after all. "It's okay. At least we managed to make everything work out in the end."
Meanwhile, Lothar would go on to point out Lilly and Circe to the group, as well. The sight of the MagikGrowlmon brought a smile to Hana's face. "Wow, she grew up pretty fast. The last time we saw her, she was just a little baby."
Rush wasn't paying much attention to the conversation, though. The hyperactive Morphomon was too busy looking around in an attempt to absorb everything around him at once. The moment he laid eyes on Circe, however, Rush quickly forgot about everything else around him. He couldn't understand why, but something about the young spider made his face blush a deep sapphire-blue.
Rush would slowly shuffle his way towards Circe, offering out a wing-tipped arm to the Araneaemon while trying to stammer out a flustered greeting. "U-um, hi?"
Aside from Mandrake and Lothar's families, the only other guests Hana could recognize were Zack and Marigold. Hana didn't even know those two knew Mandrake and Lothar! Or... should she say three, seeing as they now had a Gizumon with them as well? Either, she still sent them a quick wave so that they would be aware of their presence.

The sight of Violet appearing with flowers in their tentacles caused both Lothar and LJ to snort with laughter. Meanwhile Mona just smiled at the sight and as Zack spoke of catching a look at Mandrake and Lothar's wishlist the Leomon laughed before he said "Knowing Violet's curiosity driven nature maybe it's a good thing Mandrake and I didn't think of making such a thing. Guess it is fortunate such a guest list didn't exist or the gifted kaiju would of likely been stomping its way to the Moonblossom Monastery by now." Then after a moment Lothar then said "All we wanted were friends and family to come to our wedding. You know something simple. It was my mom who handled the DJ and food. Not only that there is apparently a mix of stuff for omnivores and vegans alike."
Then he looked over at Violet before he said "Thank you for the flowers, Violet. You can put them on one of the tables if you want."
Crystal looked over the area before looking back at Ghost as she said "I agree that Mandrake is taking longer than he normally does as he is not one of the types to take long to get ready even if he is nervous. My son Lothar is likely just as nervous about getting married as him and he is out here with us. Now that you mention it this is weird." Now Crystal was looking in the building where Mandrake was getting ready getting the sneaking suspicion something might be amiss.
Meanwhile with Lothar he took in what Hana said before he replied "Yes it is impressive how fast digimon grow isn't it? Though she still seems at times not much different than how she was as a baby since she is still energetic and extroverted. In many ways she is so much like Mandrake."
Circe was peaking out from behind Lothar cocking her head in curiosity at the sight of the blushing Morphomon that was Rush before taking notice he was shuffling closer to her and when he stammered out a greeting Circe looked at her feet for a moment before looking back up at Rush and shyly stammered "Umm H-Hi."
Kshin then caught sight of a shimmering coming from his bag near the table he was seated at and reached over and grabbed it pulling out an all too familiar magic book to him. After turning several curiously blank pages the image of what looked like a dark crystal of some kind with the faded image of what kind of looked like a heart appeared on one of the pages. Something about that heart image looked familiar but the young Gumdramon couldn't place where he had seen it. Was this crystal magical? Perhaps and it made him start moving to Theron as maybe the ancient Jijimon had seen this crystal at some point in his life.
Meanwhile Lilly had begun walking over to Theron as she had noticed that not only the Jijimon was scratching his chin but was now humming in thought. She had beaten Kshin to Theron as she asked "Grandpa is there something wrong? You're emotions are reflecting that."
Theron glanced over at the young empath before he said "Indeed it is. There is something amiss with Mandrake's emotions and if you can't feel them then it is clear that he is just out of range of your senses. Given how young you are that would not be so surprising."
"Grandpa, what do you mean daddy's emotions are amiss? I don't understand." Lilly then asked her face scrunched up in confusion.
"I suppose I should be more clear, little one. What I mean is that unlike with everyone else I can't sense Mandrake's emotions. This is not normal given how holding back his emotions makes him ill." Theron explained now sounding concerned before he then said "Perhaps someone should check on him as now I suspect something is not right."
Just then Kshin ran up with the magic book in his clawed paws before he began flipping pages as he said "Theron, there is some weird crystal that showed up in this book. I don't know what it is so I wondered if you might know. I think it might be some magic artifact of some sort."
Theron looked at the image as Kshin flipped to the page before the old wizard said "Hmm. That crystal looks remotely familiar but what looks more familiar is the image on it." He then pointed to the image before he explained "Look at the image Kshin. There is no doubt in my mind that this dark crystal for some reason has the Crest of Love on it." To say Lothar, Kshin, Lilly, Circe, and Mona were surprised was an understatement and if anyone else in earshot was also shocked it would not be surprising.

Zack walked Violet over to the table where the flowers were meant to go, only able to get the bundle out of the young robot's arms after they had taken pictures and videos of the species from every conceivable angle. Zack just crossed his arms over his chest, tapping his foot. He was far too resigned to its children's eccentricities to rush them but he also wasn't going to walk away and do anything else while Violet was still liable to wander off the second they saw an interesting blade of grass. He fitted Violet back under his arm and walked up to Hana and company.
"Hey Hana, how's life treating you?" Zack said, tilting his head in genuine interest at the tamer and her hangers on, even as Violet waved their tendrils to the assembled crew. "I'm sure you remember my daughter Marigold." Zack said, jerking a thumb over his shoulder to where the bee was still exalting in her lovely dress, inspecting every hand sewn detail. "I don't believe you've had the privileged of being introduced to my youngest child, say hello Violet." He said before opening his mouth to correct himself, too late to stop the inevitable pun.
"Hello Violet." Violet said without pause, waving to Hana. Even beneath his mask Zack's unimpressed look with his child's play on words was obvious even if it's the exact same thing he would have done.
His hero senses started tingling, seeing a group of people hunched and huddled over something with serious faces. He walked up to the group, Violet still slung under his arm and Marigold approaching based on similar concerned curiosity.

The chips and dip were delicious and Ghost would finish the last of them.
Although he could hear what was being said or whatnot. He would see everyone gathering closer to the mega Digimon. Something was going on and he wanted to know what.
Surely there was no drama at a wedding or whatnot.
This must all be an act or something like that. As he began to think that.
Mandrake and Lothersure went all out on this here wedding.
Ghost would still be looking on as he then would look to his left.
Looking down he would see that Yara and Mary were in a shoving match for some reason. The duo were always at each other's necks. He would just shake his head. As he pulled out his Tamer cards.
These cards are what makes him and his team the heroes that they are. As he looked through the cards he would smile as he normally do.
He did not know what was going to happen but he did know he was going to be ready for it
