At the Wedding Pt 5 Moo-ving Ahead

"Uh oh."

Walt looked at Charles Gardner. He'd just finished introducing him to everyone he'd brought. "Something wrong?"

Charles chuckled. "Maybe. You still got the usual tucked away in your pocket for emergencies?"

It only took a split second for him to catch on. "Who's drunk already? No no. Wait let me guesss. Jimbo?"

Chuck grinned. "Got it in one!"

Walt shook his head. "Ain't that usually how these Gardner weddings go? I recall a fair few of yers where we had to consult the video not just for the referees but because you couldn't remember them."

Charles chuckled. "Yeah. There were a fair few of those. But this ones different. You see..."

Walt blinked as Charles explained a long, but actually understandable considering, tradition among Starfire's people that her father wanted observed. "...so basically you're telling me Jimbo needs to be drunk but somewhat coherently drunk and moving when he makes his vows or the King of Tamaran declares war on the House of Gardner?"

Charles nodded. Walt sighed and looked across the way where some of his characters had gathered around James babysitting. Penny, Neo and Sienna with Manami recording were having some laughs talking about something with James. And James ...?

"MoooOOOooo!!!" James moo'd loudly holding fingers up to his head pretending to be a cow or some nonsense. He was sitting on the ground to prevent him from falling down but now he was trying, and sadly failing, to crawl around in his bovine impression. "MahWOOooo!"

"What the hell is that supposed to be... a werecow or something?" Walt asked wondering.

Charles shrugged. "Who knows what he's imitating but if he's trying for "just cow" it's a miss. Anyway I'm pretty sure if he moo's his vows to Star, King Myand’r probably won't find that as "acceptably coherent" in his tradition." Charles laughed. "Be great video moment though! I'm glad your ladies are recording this for him for later."

Walt laughed too. Sure enough the girls were having some kind of conversation with him. Penny nodding her head while Sienna was telling him something. James laughed nodding so at least they were having fun and thick as thieves. Neo wrote him a note and stuck it in his pocket for later and pointed at Manami with the camera. Must be something James needed to remember? Drunken inspiration perhaps?

James rose unsteadily to his knees. He gave Manami and the camera a double thumbs-up then made the "finger horns" again laughing and nodding. Then he held his hands out in front of his chest in a suggestive fashion and batting his eyes and almost fell over. "MwahoooOOOooo!"

Charles and Walt looked at each other snapping their fingers and saying, "Jessica Rabbit/Cow!"

They both laughed long and hard. "I dunno. I take it if he told Lil Star at the alter he "Moooved" her tits that might not be "romantic" enough?"

Charles wiped away a tear nodding. "It'd be beautiful though! Think you can help him out?"

Walt pulled out one of the emergency detox pills. "If he takes it it'll have him sober as a judge in moments. But drunk as he is that's going to make him feel awful and likely super sick in that suit. Lil Star and Aye-Lee ain't going to thank us for messing that up... hmmmm... and he needs to be drunkenly coherent so sober is no good? Huh..." Walt shrugged and reached into the belted sash at his waist drawing out the bowie knife.

Charles chuckled. "You and your ladies do know we changed from the costume party idea right? They changed it to a costume photo booth at the reception instead. Jim Bowie?"

Walt blinked then shook his head setting the pill down carefully cutting it in half. "Wild Bill," he said and Charles tapped his nose nodding. "And no I wasn't aware and it wasn't intentional. Well it sorta was... the ladies wanted us to stand out but not in a way that detracted from our brides. They're sweethearts that way so they went the extra mile. I got damn lucky, Chuck. For some of them in there world color is significant. Wearing someone else's symbolizes a bond. Something like partnership but it can also mean marriage. The rings and the sash mean just that. I'm committed to them." He smiled seeing them with James. "They're the best trouble I found. Just like you all. I'm keeping them always and never letting go."

Charles smiled and patted his shoulder. "We're happy for you. All of you. I know you ain't big on ceremonies but you let us know when your official "wedding" is and we'll be there." He nodded at the broken pill. "Think it'll work?"

Walt grinned. "Honestly I got no idea!" They both laughed. "In theory it should." They both shrugged.

Charles pointed. "Well nothing ventured, nothing gained. Come on. We'll take him behind those rose bushes over there. You get his jacket and I'll get his tie just incase."

Walt nodded. "Sounds like a plan! And if King Myand’r tries to slip him some more of whatever that was I'll try to intercept him. I still like a good stiff drink even if I can't hardly feel it. Maybe I can drink him under the table later at the reception!"
