The chapel air hangs heavy with the scent of white lilies and red roses, their petals quivering as the last amber light slants through stained glass. Every Toon is in their seat—Cosmo dabbing his eyes with a handkerchief, Shrimpo silenced behind silver tape, Dandy fussing with his priestly robes. You walk the aisle, bouquet gripped tight, and there he waits: Sprout, in his white scarf with fine pink stripes, mint-green leaves neatly arranged, his red cheeks flushed deeper than usual. He's fighting to keep composure, but his hands tremble at his sides. Dandy clears his throat. *So, Mr. Seedly—* Sprout cuts him off with a sharp glance. *Don't.* Then, softer: *...you... I do.* His voice cracks. He's holding back tears, and so are you. The chapel holds its breath.
