The time for the wedding had officially arrived. All the Umbrellas and Sparrows were getting dressed in their suits and gowns. Still slightly tipsy from the bachelor party, Klaus stumbled as he adjusted the collar of his satin dark green suit. "Can you zip me up?" Dusk called out. He turned around, seeing her move her dark hair to the side while holding the pieces of fabric in place.

"Sure thing," Klaus nodded. As Dusk felt her boyfriend zip her into the fiery orange gown, she looked out the open-blind window, watching pieces of the earth be swallowed and torn to bits. "It feels awkward, doesn't it? Attending a wedding, given everything that's been going on?" Dusk asked. "Maybe that's the best reason to have it. Because of everything that's been going on. And besides, how about some fun every now and then?"

As Klaus zipped up the last of his girlfriend's dress, she turned around and stared at him before looking down briefly at his lips. Her hands rested softly against his cheeks as she slowly leaned in and kissed him, her lips soft as the inside of a rose. "Sorry, it's just the negative thoughts talking," Dusk pulled away, tucking her hair behind her ear. The raven briefly sat on the couch as she slipped on a pair of gold open-toed heels. As she and Klaus walked towards the door and down the hallway, Klaus suddenly snuck around her, blocking her path.

"Klausy, what are you doing? We have to be down at the banquet hall soon!" Dusk looked confused. "I know hon, but I just remembered Five needed to have a word with us," the junkie remembered. At first, she was confused, wondering when he and Klaus had that conversation. But it came to her that maybe he dropped a hint at the bachelor party. With a slight nod, she grabbed her boyfriend's hand, and they walked to where Klaus claimed her twin would be getting ready.

"Five? You still in there?" Dusk tapped on the door. The lock clicked, and Five poked his head out. "Good, your both here. Finally, somebody does something right for once," the time traveler mumbled the last sentence under his breath as he let them inside. Klaus didn't catch the last bit and asked what he said, but Five brushed it off. "So, what's going on that you needed to talk to us?" Dusk questioned.

Her brother stared at the ground for a moment before locking eyes with the junkie and phoenix. "It's about Victoria. You guys both know she currently hates my guts," He sighed. "Ooo, I know where this is heading!" Klaus smiled, clasping his hands together near his face. Dusk put a finger to his lips, and he quieted down. "Go on," she motioned. "And the reason I needed to talk to you guys is-"

"You're so in love with Victoria that you need our help to win her back?" Klaus interrupted once more, grinning like the Cheshire Cat. Five just blankly stared at him, it was like Klaus had read his mind. Though he planned to word the situation differently in his head. "Mhmm," he nodded. Well, after seeing how hostile she can be around him, getting her back won't be easy, but we could make it work! "Dusk, you're the romantic dreamer. Any suggestions?"

The raven rested a hand underneath her chin as she went deep into thought, trying to remember the littlest things that Victoria could like from a man. As memories came flooding back, there were some things she noticed. Moments before Sebastian's wedding, Dusk heard a tango song playing in the distance towards the vineyard's entrance. And out of the corner of her eye, she saw Victoria's hands patting along to the beat, though she kept staring straight ahead. 

Not only did that stand out, but also the occasional Spanish phrases she would drop and her admiration for the color red. As each piece of the puzzle came together, it soon became clear the phoenix indeed had a grand romantic gesture in mind. As Five noticed her expression, her thought process instantly transferred over to him, almost like a twinly instinct, and it became clear to him what his mission was.

"What the heck is going on?" Klaus asked, nervously smiling. "What's going on is we might have an idea, Klausy!" Dusk smiled.

The door of the elevator slid open, revealing the beautiful banquet hall. Each table was covered in white cloths, the dishes and cutlery already out, waiting to be used. The disco ball was rotating and shining bright, and the DJ Booth was already playing soft classical music on vinyl. As they all stepped out of the elevator, they gasped in amazement. "Not sure if this place is gonna be big enough," Klaus commented, wrapping his arm around his girlfriend.

"Well, this is a small gathering. So it should be enough for all of us," Dusk smiled. "This place better have an open bar," Allison muttered as she brushed past her sister. Do you have to continue being a bitch on a night like this? Dusk bit her tongue, not wanting to start another brawl. This was Luther and Sloane's night, not hers. She turned her attention to Victoria, who was cooing softly to Pennycrumbs as he wagged his little tail and panted with his tongue sticking out.

"Aww! I knew he'd look adorable wearing that!" Dusk smiled, gently scratching  behind the pooches ear. "I'll admit, it was a pain getting him buttoned up, but you handled it very well, didn't you, mister?" Pennycrumbs licked Victoria's cheek in reply, making her giggle. As the elevator dinged, the door opened, revealing Luther and Viktor talking to each other, making sure Luther didn't look like an 'idiot' in his black tuxedo.

"Looking good, Viktor!" Dusk smiled. Number Seven looked down at his attire before smiling and giving her a look of thanks. But Allison also took notice, subtly insulting him for his choice of clothing. "I see you've gone for the oversized button-down. Original." "You do realize there's no paparazzi here, right?" Viktor hissed back. Before things could escalate, Luther intervened, telling them to be nice. 

"If you two can get along for a couple of hours, you can consider that my wedding gift," He exhaled. Allison rolled her eyes, making direct eye contact with Dusk. Though the raven vowed to keep her demon in check, she shot The Rumor a glare. The elevator dinged, and everyone stared in awe as Sloane stepped out in her wedding dress, holding a tiny bouquet of white flowers.

Though she would deny it if anyone confronted her, Dusk felt tears of joy well up in her eyes as Sloane and Luther gazed lovingly at each other. "Let's get this over with before I die of cringe," Ben sighed. Dusk sharply elbowed Ben's side, shutting him up before they all gathered outside where the procession was beautifully laid out.

Luther walked down first, Viktor standing next to his side. The next person to walk was Lila, as she was the bridesmaid. Everybody started smiling and holding back their aww's as Pennycrumbs walked down the aisle, sitting at Lila's feet. And last, but certainly not least. was Sloane, who kept eye contact with her soon-to-be husband with every step she took. And as the bride finished her walk down the aisle, Klaus took stood a couple of feet away, holding back his excitement to officiate. "Dearly beloved, we're gathered here today for a good time, not a long time, so let's have a good time, huh? Cause the sun can't shine every day. Can I get an amen?"

"Amen!" The sibling all responded with amusement. When they all simmered down, Klaus turned to his brother. "Luther, do you take this banging hottie to be your lady?" Luther grinned, widely saying, "I do," Klaus then turned to Sloane, sighing emotionally, holding his hands close to his chest. "And Sloane, do you promise to love and cherish this big hairy bastard for the next 24 to 48 hours?"

"Give or take a day!" Five called out. The junkie shushed him before looking back at the bride. "I'm gonna try," Sloane responded lovingly. Klaus blinked away his tears of happiness, choking up on his last line. "I'm sorry," He apologized. "I pronounce you married as shit! Viva La Apocalypse!" Sloane immediately jumped into Luther's arms, kissing him as the Umbrellas and remaining Sparrows clapped and cheered for their union.
