5:00 PM

Clover stares into a mirror observing his suit, as Starlo and Asriel help get his tux presentable. "You doing good Clover?" Starlo asked the cowboy.

"Y-yea I'm ok."

"Getting cold feet dude," Asriel snickers "You're not thinking of bailing are you?"

"No Az; I worked too hard for this to walk away." Today was Clover and Martlet's wedding day; they had been planning this for almost a year; Martlet wanted the wedding to be in the spring, so they had to wait a bit for the wedding. It was seen as a very important day in New Home; Clover and Martlet were the first human and monster couple to officially marry since before the war; to monster kind, it was a new moment in history. "We have been planning this wedding for almost a year now, and I would never leave Martlet standing at the altar."

"Come on Clover you can do this, just take a deep breath and relax," Starlo said putting a hand on his shoulder

"I'm trying but I'm just nervous; I don't want to screw this up."

"You're not going to screw this up; It's ok to be nervous on your wedding day; just take a breath and get your thoughts together."

Clover continues to stare into the mirror as he takes a deep breath. "I love her, and I don't want to ruin our special day."

"Then go out there and say your vows, and kiss....that....fucking.....bird," Starlo said making Clover face him as he puts his hands on his shoulders.

Clover nodded his head before hugging Starlo. "Thanks, Dad."

Starlo felt as if he would cry as he hugged Clover back before hyping him up again. "Look you got this; just get out there and prepare to say your vows to her; alright?" Clover smiles and nods his head. "Alright get out there; Your mother wants to see how you look."

Clover walks out of the room and heads down the stairs and out the door to the altar; everyone is seated and waiting for the ceremony to start. Everyone was there ranging from Asriel and Frisk's family including Asgore; Martlet's family sat and waited in the front row next to Ceroba, and the others. Martlet's Mom wasn't seated causing Clover to assume she was helping Martlet get her dress ready; Ceroba looked as if she was about to start crying already Dalv and the rest of the five sat by her comforting her. Clover stood up at the altar and waited as Asriel and Starlo shortly followed and stood beside the altar supporting the cowboy

"This is rather crazy isn't it?" Asriel said to Clover.

"How so?"

"We went from being enemies to friends even after everything I did to you."

"Like I said before Az, you are not Flowey; Flowey is gone and never coming back."

"Even after all these years, it's still hard to accept that."

"Hey, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you and Frisk; I owe you for returning everyone's souls after the whole incident that broke the barrier."

"Wait, you knew about that?"

"I watched it happen, you did absorb my soul after all," Clover said with a chuckle.

"I guess that makes sense."

"I just still don't know how you were able to pull it off though."

"With Determination, anything is possible."

Back in Martlet's waiting room Martlet and her mother are busy having an emotional conversation. "Martlet sweety you look beautiful." Martlet wore an a-line wedding dress that reached and dragged on the floor behind her; she wore a veil and held a bouquet.
