Chapter 2: Mrs. Fox, the Wedding Planner

From Chapter 33

"I can tell."

"Heh, I've been told it's pretty noticeable, but I'm good now, you have my attention. What's up?"

"Well, I wanted to ask why Ringtail's been so... off?"

"Really?! I thought I was the only one that noticed? He doesn't seem mad, does he? Oh god, I did say the wrong thing!" Chaz blurted out, feeling a wave of emotions filling him at once.

Carmelita was shocked to see Chaz freak out like that. She's never seen him so on edge before-- Ever! "Calm down! My gosh, what happened? You're like the most nonchalant person I know. What's got you on edge?"

Chaz bit his tongue at first, unknowing what to say. Then he thought for a moment, which was a dangerous thing for him to do right about now. Carmelita is probably the closest to understanding him especially with situations like this. He felt antsy, out of control, and worried in a way. He doesn't feel like he could go to Murray or Bentley either. Murray can't keep his mouth closed about this kind of stuff and Bentley finds a way to turn it into a math equation. So maybe Carmelita was his best bet?

He hesitated for a quick moment, turned his head to make sure the other three weren't looking, and then motioned for Carmelita to come close. She moved from his position and put his ear close to Chaz. "Sly asked about like... I don't know... marriage things," he whispered.

Carmelita's mouth dropped and her eyes widened. "Are you serious?! Him?!" she said a little too loud.

"Shhhhh! The other two don't know anything about it and I don't want Sly to know I'm worried about it!"

"Right, right! So... Wait? What's the problem then? Do you not want to?"

"Well, now that I think of it... I don't know! I'm okay with it! But like, he's been quiet ever since we talked and has been writing in that notepad since we sat down!"

"It's not usual for Ringtail to be so quiet... Do you want me to be the spy and find out what he thinks?"

Chaz gasped and nodded his head. "Yes! Oh my gosh, that would make me feel a million times better!"

"Alright, I got your back from here on out-- On one condition!"

"Huh? What is it?"

Carmelita's smile spread cheek to cheek. "You pick me as the wedding organizer! And before you ask, I already know the color theme to match your style. I have my dress and everything already in mind! We could do a beach wedding, small but cute! We'll make it colorful too, get a bit of purple, red-- Oh, and some good Spanish food too! You'll love it!"

Chaz was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe what she was saying. It was like she's been planning this her whole life. "This might not even be set in stone but... I feel like I don't really have a choice so... Yeah, I'll let you have that role, I guess."

"Ha ha! Yes! Mrs. Fox, the Wedding Planner! Oooh, it has such a good tone to it!"

Chaz could barely believe this was the same person that would chase them around town trying to shoot shock bullets into their backs. Perhaps the police business suppresses some internal dreams

Location: Antibes, French Riviera, About halfway between Cannes and Nice,

Lodgings: Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc

Carmelita was ttrue to her word booking Sly and Chaz' beach front wedding venue at one of the most extravagant places in France.

Antibes is home to a peninsula that juts out into the sea, maximizing the amount of available warm, sandy, easy-to-walk-on beachfront.

Sun and sand were was what Chaz felt on his fur as he steped on the beach from their hotel room, the heat warming his bear chest, , sweat already covering his forehead.

"Why did I agree to a beach wedding? I hate the heat." He thought, admiring the waves crashing on the beach, Sly coming out from the room, wrapping his arms around Chaz's waist.

"Those waves look refreshing." Sly comments, "Want to go for a swim?"

Chaz smiles at Sly's enthusiasm, they both knew they still hated the water, but playing in the water with Sly would be fun as long as he could feel his feet under him.

"Yeah, handsome. Race you there." Chaz shouts, getting a head start on sly. Sly runs after Chaz admiring his cute butt as he runs, his tail, wagging back-and-forth.

Sly puts on a burst of speed, ; jumping into the air landing on top of Chaz, throwing the two of them into the sand, covering the both of them their giggles filling the air. The waves lapping over them as they kiss, sly atop Chaz.

They play in the water for a while, ending up back in their suite, exhausted.

Chaz just coming out the bathroom the steam still feeling the air, he stands there, in the bathroom doorway drying off, .

His tail raised in the air facing Sly . Giving him a a show as he finishes.

Slylaying on the bed, half listening to some program on the tv.

"Hey Sly, did everyone get settled?" Chaz asks, walking into the main bedroom pulling on his boxers.

"Hmm, yeah. Carmelita got everyone their own suites." Sly replies back.

"She really stuck to 'a beach wedding, small but cute! We'll make it colorful too, get a bit of purple, red-- Oh, and some good Spanish food too'." Chaz says, imitating Carmelita on the last bit when he was nervous about Sly's writing in his notebook after their talks of marriage.

"Yeah I hear that whole roasted suckling pig is driving Murray crazy." Sly says with a smile. " Carmelita had to put a whole new security grid around it to keep Murray away

Chaz reaches the bed, sitting down next to Sly, who was laying down

, his grey fur still damp from the shower. Chaz reaches over playing with Sly's damp fur. As he gets into bed with Sly cuddling up with him, Chaz wrapping his arms around Sly's waist.

"Love you Cotton ball." Sly says with love in his voices sleep catching up to both Chaz and Sly.

It was a few days later that Carmelita's wedding plans come to completion. The sun high in the sky , Sly and Chaz are standing in front of the wedding party. As Sly places the silver ring on Chaz's ring finger, Chaz taking the ring from Carmelita as he places the other ring on Sly's ring finger.

As the two kiss, everyone cheering as the sun sets low in the horizon.
