A date between two buff loves Epilogue

Several days have passed since Marty and Zen's date at the Giant Botanical Garden. After stopping the evil Gryphon Cory from using the fruit's muscle growing powers for evil, Marty and Zen went to the small beach area on the outskirts of the city. Marty asked Zen to merry him. Zen agrees and now we see Marty and Zen plan their wedding.

At Marty's house, Marty was planning him and Zen's wedding. Where's the wedding takes place, the food and the flowers and the guest list and buying wedding attire for the both of them.

"Ok, so we'll have the wedding at the park. A wedding by the lake might be perfect." Marty said, who wants to have the wedding in the park that the Giant Botanical Garden named Project Nature is at.

Zen agrees with Marty. "Yeah, i'd love that. Now for the guest. Should we keep it simple and just invite our friends?" He asked.

"Yeah. That's a wonderful idea." Marty said. Zen smiles and writes a checklist on all their friends and loved ones to invite to the wedding.

"Ok, I would love to have Nathan at this special wedding." Zen said. Him and Nathan did so much for each other and seeing him at his wedding sounds amazing. Marty agrees with Zen by saying "That's great. Add him to the guest list." And Zen then puts Nathan on the list and they think of the next person to appear at the wedding.

"What about Leo." Marty said. "He can be the best man." Marty wanted Leo to be the best man because of how much he means to him in his life. "Ok, that's another one on the list." Zen said and puts Leo on the list. And it continues as they put Geamex, Lance, Joey and Lindsay on the list.

"There we go. That's sorted." Zen said, with Marty giving Zen a high five. And then Zen said to Marty "Ok Marty, i'll take care of the preparations to make this the best possible wedding. Meanwhile you can invite our friends to this wedding." And Marty said to his boyfriend "That's sounds like a plan to me." And the two of them shake their hands, and off they went, Zen organizing the wedding and Marty inviting their friends to their wedding.

"Ok first off, let's go with Leo. He's been there for me so let's do that." Marty said and walks to Leo Industries humming a happy tune to himself. Today was his day off from walk so he's just visiting his boss. Marty goes up the elevator and goes to his office.

Leo was working out on the stretcher. "Ok Leo, try and beat your personal best." He said while try to beat his own record of 250 reps on the stretcher, but then he heard a knock on his office door. Leo stopped his exercise and then said "Come in."

Marty opened the door, "Howdy Leo." Marty said to Leo with a big smile on his face.

"Marty. I thought you were having the day off." Leo said, and then Marty said to Leo "I'm still on my day off. I came here to ask you something."

"Sure. What is it." Leo said. Marty then said to the beefy cobra "Well, me and Zen are going to have a wedding and we want all our friends to come. And I would like you to be the best man."

Leo was surprised by Marty's words. "I never been the best man in a wedding before." Leo said, "But if it's for you and Zen to be happy together than I'm happy to be the best man." In a way, this is Leo's thanks to Marty for being his bodyguard for all these years, he wants to help his employee/friend out because he's happy for him.

"Thank you Leo, you're the best." Marty said and Leo hugs Marty. "Marty. I'm proud of you for finding someone special as Zen." Leo said.

"I know Leo. Thank you." Marty said. And the two stop hugging and then Marty said "Well, I got to invite the of our friends so see you then. Bye", Leo then said "Ok Martin. See you later." And Marty leaves the office and Leo then said. "Marty. I couldn't gone this long without you and Zen. You made me into the gentleman I am today, and i'm forever thankful for that." Leo then looks out the window and sees the lovely sunshine over the horizon, and Leo smiles, being happy for Marty.

"One down, five to go." Marty said to himself. And he goes to GMX Market to invite both Lance and Nathan.

Meanwhile Zen was in the park. Some of the staff at Project Nature was helping him set up the wedding, along with Lindsay. "So, you and Marty are getting married. That's so sweet." Lindsay said, being happy for them. "Yeah, I agree. It's gonna be a day we will never forget." Zen said.

Then one of the Project Nature staff say to Zen "I'm gonna inflate these balloons for the backdrop. I want to give your wedding something that looks great on it."

Zen said in his own way "I'm fine with that. Go right ahead." and the Project Nature staff said "Thanks Zen." And beings to blow up the first balloon.

"This is going to be perfect." Zen said. Lindsay smiles, she thinks that this wedding is gonna be an unforgettable one.

Meanwhile, Marty went to GMX Market to go see Nathan and Lance. Marty looks at the inside of the store and said "Ahh GMX Market. They always big on quality, and small on price." Marty likes shopping here sometimes, he can get some delicious Apples, yogurts and Potato Salad for under all for under $2. That's a good deal.

"Anyways, let's see how Nathan and Lance are doing." Marty said. Nathan was checking food items on the shelf, seeing if there's any out of date items. He spotted some expired Yogurts in the dairy section, Lance was also there, and he said "Well these Yogurts are no good." and Nathan said to him "Yeah, these need to go." and then he puts the expired Yogurts in a trash bag.

Just then Marty greets the two "Howdy Nathan and Lance. How are you doing today."
Nathan smiles and walks up the Marty saying "Doing great. I'm just happy because my step-brother is getting married to you." and then hugs Marty with Marty hugging him back.

"Heh heh. Yeah we are gonna be husbands. And don't worry, we'll still be here, because we like living here with all of you. You're a big part of our lives."
Marty said. Nathan really is happy for them. Even after they get married, they'll still be there for their friends and will continue to enjoy the company of each other. This is how strong their bonds with their friends are. Their friends are supportive of their love and are happy that they are getting married. Lance then said "I'm happy to see you two, me, Nathan and all your other friends have a connection that won't break. Your friendship and your love for Zen is stronger than any muscle in your body. If it's what your heart wants, then i'm happy for you.

Marty blushed a bit. "You know, you kinda sound like Zen for a bit." he said. Lance chuckled a little bit and then said "Yeah, I guess I did just now." and Marty then asked them the question that he wants to ask them "Anyways, do you guys want to be in the wedding?"

"Of course we'll go to your wedding. I want to be there for your marriage." Nathan said with joy. "I'm happy to come to." Said Lance.

"Well that's great. Thanks guys, you're the best." Marty said and hugs Nathan and Lance, and then asked them a question.

"Umm, where's Joey." Marty asked. And Nathan said "He's at the gym, pumping iron."

"Thanks, well see you guys then. Later." Marty said as he waves the two.

"Later Marty." Nathan and Lance both said to Marty and waved to him as he leaves. Nathan looked at Lance "You know. I'm proud that Zen found someone as kind, sweet, funny and handsome as Marty. Those two were made for each other and i'm happy that they are getting married and that their love will last forever. " Lance said to Nathan.

"Yeah. I want to be their by Zen's side when he marries Marty." Nathan said. And Lance puts his hand on Nathan's shoulder and said "You're gonna do great, and i'll be there with you." and Nathan smiles at Lance and then Lance smiles back.

Back at the park, The Project Nature staff has finished setting up the wedding shrine with the balloons incorporated into it. Zen was happy with how it looks, and said to the staff "You did a wonderful job. Here's $300 for a job well done." Zen gave them the money and the staff gave Zen a fist bump. That $300 given to them for their hard work was to go into funding for the Project Nature. "Thanks Zen, you're the best dude." said the staff.

"You're welcome, now take care." said Zen, and the staff gave Zen a thumbs up, and Zen gives him a thumbs up back.

Lindsay walks up to Zen and said "Seems like everything is going well. Our staff loves to help."

"Well I just appreciate all the wonderful things you guys do. Project Nature is better than ever before, and I want to give them my thanks." Zen said and then realised that the chairs need setting up "Oh I need the stairs sorted. Do you want to help me?"

Lindsay said "Sure. Consider it a big thanks from me, it's the least I could do." and Zen smiled. His smile is a kind of smile that brighten up someone's day and makes them happy.

Marty then heads to the gym, not to work out and pump some iron, but to see Joey. He opens the door and walks inside the gym, and there he sees Joey, pumping iron. Lifting heavy weights. After the last rep he puts the weights on the ground and and drinks his water. "Man, that was a good workout. I always keep my body in tiptop shape." he said, and he flexes his bicep and said "Yep, you still got it Joey."

Marty goes up to Joey and greets him by saying "Howdy Joey. Woah that must have been one heck of a workout.", Joey was slightly out of breath, but still have lots of energy and power in him. "Yeah, I like to challenge myself. I am a bodybuilder after all. Anyways, how are you doing?" he said, and he takes a sip of his water.

"Doing good. Me and Zen are going to have a wedding." Marty said to Joey, and Joey happily said "Oh nice, i'm happy to come to your wedding."

Marty was surprised that he immediately said he was happy to come to the biggest day of their lifes. Marty said to Joey "That was quick. I was about to ask you if you want to come to our wedding, but it's fine. Thanks Joey."

"No problem. It's your big day, and i wouldn't miss it for the world. I want to be their to see you marry Zen and support you and Zen." Joey said. Those words puts a smile on Marty's face. This wedding definitely made Marty the happiest he ever felt since his and Zen's first kiss.

"Thank you Joey, you rock." Marty said, and the two of them gave each other a high five. "Well, i'll take a shower and i'll and get ready for your wedding when i get home. See you then." Joey said and he goes to the locker room to take a shower. And Marty waves bye to Joey and goes out of the gym and then makes his way to the final guest, Geamex.

Meanwhile, back at the park, the wedding venue has finally been set up. The chairs are set up, the shrine looks gorgeous and the wedding cake Marty ordered has arrived. On the cake was a small version of Marty and Zen made out of rice and food colouring and was a four layered cake with delicious white icing and strawberry feeling with blackberries. It was pretty to look at and definitely tastes amazing.

"I'm thankful we are doing this on a warm day like this. Not a rain cloud in sight." Zen said. He said that because he don't want the rain to ruin his and Marty's wedding.

"Yeah, the sunlight helps plants to grow big and beautiful. And helps give us the fruits and vegetables through photosynthesis." Lindsay said, who loves the sun just as much as Zen. Not just because it's a beautiful sight that brightens up anybody's day, but it's helps plants grow.

"I'm happy you help make our Garden grow. It's nice to have a botanist friend like you." Lindsay said, praising Zen for his love of nature. Zen then said "Yeah. Me, Marty and Geamex are glad to help you Lindsay." and then they both smiled and look at the sun, and wait for the guest of honor to come.

Meanwhile, Marty's final stop is the local hospital where Geamex is working in. "Ahh Geamex. I'm proud of you for becoming an awesome doctor." he said and waits for Geamex.

And then Geamex went outside the hospital, still wearing his hospital uniform. Both of them gave each other a big hug. "Marty. What are you doing here." Geamex said, looking happy to see Marty. Marty then said to Geamex "Well, I came to ask you do you want to come to my wedding?"

Geamex then said "I'm happy to. I just finished my shift, but I helped cured so many people with the medicine I made. The one with the Hawthorn, it works very well." He was proud of himself of the amazing medical work he was doing. He helped cure so many clients at the hospital with all the medical skills he learned along the way, and finally archived his dream. And Marty couldn't have been prouder.

"I'm glad you finally became a great doctor. The people at this hospital are happy to have someone as funny and lovable as you do Geamex." Marty said to Geamex, and Geamex puts his hand on his chest and said "Thank you Marty for all that you and Zen did for me."

"You're welcome. Anyways want to come to our wedding?" Marty said to Geamex.

"Honestly, i'm happy to." Geamex said, and Marty then said "That's fantastic. See you then." and both of them gave each other a thumbs up, and Geamex then said "I definitely need to wear something for fitting for a wedding." And he went home to get dressed for the occasion.

After a while they made it the wedding spot and sees Zen watching the sunset, and saw Marty and then said "Marty! I'm happy your here.", and Marty then said "Thanks sweetie." and he sees the wedding venue.

"Wow, Zen this is incredible." Marty said, and Zen said "The Project Nature staff helped out with the shrine. Me and Lindsay did the chairs and i paid them $300 towards the funding for the Project Nature."

"Oh wow. Thanks Lindsay and Project Nature. You'll really did an amazing job." Marty said. Lindsay and her staff was quite proud of the job they did. "We were happy to help. You know we were gonna do it for free, but Zen was such a nice guy for paying us $300. So, thank you Zen and thank you Marty for loving such a gentle and sweet guy like him." Lindsay said.

"You're welcome." Zen said with Marty smiling, and then they hear a familier sound.

"That's Marty and Zen for ya. They are big sweethearts." said Joey, wearing the fanciest tuxedo money can buy. Marty said "Joey, you look great in that tuxedo."

"Heh heh, thanks Marty." Joey said, happy that Marty likes his tuxedo. Joey smiles and gives the three a nice wink and grin.

Leo was the next to arrived, wearing his usual business suit and calling someone on the phone. "Don't worry Barry you'll get your new home finished in a week. You are going to love it, trust me. Ok byee." He said before hanging up the phone. He then said to Marty, Zen, Joey and Lindsay "Sorry about that guys. I was talking to Barry who wants a new home after his old one was burned down. Poor guy."

Zen said to Leo "I feel sorry for the guy." Leo smiles and said to the wolf "Thankfully, our guys are making a new home for him. I just don't want him to have nowhere to live you know."

Marty smiles, and then said to Leo "That's the Leo we now know and love. A Giant Cobra businessman that likes to help anyone who needs it." Leo lets out a little chuckle and said to Marty "Well Marty, you and Zen and the others helped me into becoming the man that I am."

And then they saw two more of their friends arrived at their wedding. It's Nathan and Lance from GMX Market. "Welcome to the party guys. I'm happy that you two made it." Said Marty.

"Well I bought myself a little present for the both of you, with an employee discount, thanks to Lance." Nathan said. Lance gave Nathan 70% on a gift for the two lovers. Nathan gives them a big box and Zen takes it off their hands, although it was a bit heavy. Marty and Zen opens the present curious on what's inside. And it was a set of weights, two sets for each of them, and two slippers for the two of them.

"Wow, These are amazing. Thanks for these Nathan." Said Marty. Marty and Zen love this gift, and Leo gives them his gift to them. "Here's something from me. I hope you enjoy it." Marty opens the present, and it was a collage of the photos Marty and Zen took over the years. Marty thinks this is the most thoughtful gift Leo has ever bought them, and he got emotional and cries. "Thank you Leo, this is so beautiful."

Marty then hugs Leo, and Leo hugs him back and said to him "This is for not just loving Zen, but for being my favourite employee ever. I'm proud of you." Joey then gives his gift to Zen, "I think you might like this one."

Zen opens his present, and it's a poster of him and Marty flexing in front of a rainbow background. Zen was very happy with this gift. "This is awesome, and well put together. I'll put it up when we get home Joey. Thanks man." Zen said.

Both of them share a fist bump "Glad i made you very happy." Marty finishes crying. He breaths a little bit and said "Anyways guys, once Geamex arrives we can start the wedding."

And then, Geamex arrived carrying a big box with the help of a Bronko the T-rex, he said to everyone "Hey guys. I made it and i've got a gift for Marty and Zen. It's a little big but i'm sure you like it. Thanks for the help Bronko."

Bronko then said "I'm happy to help. Any form of workout is great in my books, enjoy your wedding guys, and see you tomorrow at the gym Joey". Joey said "You two dude." and Bronko waves as he leaves. Marty said "Wow, i didn't expect to see him."

"Yeah he's one of my gym buddies. I think you and him would get along greatly." Joey said. Marty then said "Yeah, he seems cool." He definely likes to hang out with him at the gym someday, it sounds like fun.

"Anywho, let's open the present." Zen said and opens the present. It's a treadmill for their house. "Wow, this is the Run Master X-829. This thing's incredible." Marty said. They were impressed by this treadmill. The Run Master X-829 is a treadmill that cost $70 and it's very good to use, It's great for building stamina.

"Geamex, thank you for this." Marty said, and Geamex said to them "Well i saved every doller to get this for you guys, because i know how much you love exercising so i wanted to get you this."

"Thanks Geamex. We'll put this thing to good use." Zen said, and Geamex smiles and gives them a thumbs up.

It was time for the wedding, The moment they were all waiting for. Marty and Zen were standing under the arch, and Leo was the best man. Nathan, Lance, Joey, Lindsay and Geamex all watch the two get married.

Leo coughs to clear his throat, and beings reading his vows "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join together this wolf and this quail in Holy Matrimony. They have loved each other since they met in the mountains. Zen is a kind-hearted wolf with a love of nature and is kind and friendly, and Marty is a lovable quail and is an awesome bodyguard. These two have a love that will never, never die. They loved with a love that was more than love. Marty, do you take Zen to be your husband, forever."

Marty says softly and with his all his heart "Zen our love story have been a roller-coaster. You were there for me, and you made me happy. So, I do." And then Zen said to him "I do to." And they sealed their marriage with a kiss.

Joey, Nathan, Geamex and Lance was happy for them. And each of them have something to say to them.

Lance said "Zen, i'm glad you have someone as Marty in your life. You found the perfect guy, a man that loves who you are on the inside. I'm proud of you.", Zen smiles from those nice words from his Cousin.

Then Nathan said "Yeah, you and Marty were an awesome gay couple. It's so wonderful that you found love for each other all those years ago. You loved Marty because of his kindness. You two rock." Zen said "Thanks Nathan, your the best step-brother I could ever have."

After that, Geamex said "Marty you gave Zen so much in your life. Love is a powerful emotion and even if the future is unclear and you don't know what happens next, you'll face it together. And we'll be by your side along the way." Marty smiles and said "Thank you Geamex."

And finally Joey said "You two, enjoy the time you have together. You two have something you can never take away, is that love. You appreciate each other for who you are, the people you are and what you do. So you two have a great lifetime together and enjoy each other forever and ever." Both Marty and Zen smiles.

"Thanks you guys. You're the best friend anybody could ask for." Marty said and he, Zen, Leo, Joey, Geamex, Lance, Nathan and Lindsay all have a big group hug. It was a beautiful sight. Marty and Zen came so far, and this is their big moment. They couldn't have been happier. Marty and Zen will still be in the same city that they always lived in. But they will be together for all eternity, and they'll face whatever comes next in life with each other and their friends by their side.

The End.
