"Debbie? Where is she? Where's Debbie? Debbie?" Zeta called out to her daughter, hoping that she's alright until they hear debris falling down. They turned to see Mighty Eagle emerging from the debris with an unconscious Debbie in his arms as Zeta cried, realizing what she had done and said, "Debbie, no. What have I done? Oh, Debbie."

Mighty Eagle looks down at his daughter and said, "Are you okay? Sweetie? Honey pie? Love of the last one minute of my life?" In a minute, Debbie opened her eyes and muttered, "Dad?" Mighty Eagle smiled and said, "Yes." "You are so strong! He saved my life!" Debbie said as Zeta hugs her daughter, glad that she's alright.

The others smiled as Red and Stella held their kids close, glad that they're also safe. Debbie points at Mighty Eagle and asked her mom, "Can we keep him?" Zeta looked at her ex, a bit skeptical as Mighty Eagle said, "Oh, I, uh... Wait. Wait. Before you answer, you should see something." He moved some of his feathers to reveal a tattoo of Zeta. She stared before he continued, "Wait, wait, wait. Mm-hmm. And the one closest to my heart."

He shows her another tattoo of Zeta and with a ring that he kept years ago as he began singing, "For our lives to be over, Will it be yes? Or will it be Sorry? Oh, no. Doo, doo, doo. Doo, doo. Doo, doo, doo. Doo, doo..." Zeta gives a small smirk as she said, "You are so pitiful." She then goes to Red and Stella and motions to something, asking, "So, when you two finally gonna be official?"

"What/I'm sorry, official?" The two questioned before Zeta points out, "Y'all have a family of your own, but ya ain't married. I think it's about time ya do." Red looked at Stella as she hesitated until he offered her his hand, wanting to do it. Stella looked at him and smiled before she held his hand. Moments later, there was a wedding ceremony being held at the beach as birds, pigs, and eagles sat on chairs with Lillie and Debbie being flower girls as they toss petals around. Jason, playing as a marriage officiant, spoke, "Ladies and gentlemen, birds and pigs, we are gathered here today because of these two pairs. Not only because they're being joined in holy matrimony, but also because one girl from one of the pairs tried to destroy our islands for her own selfish reasons."

Zeta widened her eyes and slightly laughed as Miles adds, "Guess which one." Chuck wipes away a tear and said, "Such a beautiful wedding." "But Mighty Eagle swooped in at the last second and got all the credit for stopping her." Jason said as Mighty Eagle waved a bit before Zeta said, "Yes, you did, baby." Debbie whispered a "I love you" while Red motions to Jason to wrap it up. Jason then finished, "I now pronounce these two Eagle and wife, and my parents bird and wife. You two may now kiss the-" "Come here, you." Zeta said, dipping Mighty Eagle and kissed him off-screen. Stella gives a smirk and does the same to Red.

Matilda taps on a wine glass as she speaks, "Attention! Attention, everybody. Eyes on me. Hi, hi. Look up here. I would like to propose a toast to the bird who made all of this possible. Our hero, Red." Everybody cheered as they carried Red to a table to give a speech while chanting his name.

Red looked up with a smile until he sees Silver at the end of the crowd, backpack on as she saluted him goodbye. He then sees his family at the end of the crowd as Stella motions to the village, telling him that they'll meet him at home later. He got up as Chuck goes to him and said, "Looks like they still love you." Red turns to the crowd and said, "Um, okay, well, you know, I'm... I'm honored, everybody. Really, I... And I just, um... Give me two seconds. I'll be right back." He quickly gets off the table as the crowd got confused by that. He squeezed through the crowd as Silver and the family were about to launch themselves until Red calls out, "Hey, hey, hey! Guys!"

Silver and the family looked at him before they launched. He caught them and brought them back as he said to the crowd, "Wow. I, um... Thank you, guys. Thank you for this. And for all the support and love. You know, it means... Well, it means everything to me. But, um, I don't deserve it. She does." He motions to Silver , who looked confused as one student takes off his headphones and asked, "Is that the nerd from our physics class?"

"Hey, treat our aunt Silver with respect!" Miles yelled as Stella pats his head, telling him not to yell ares continued, "This is the real hero right here. Silver is the one who came up with the plan to stop the super-weapon and ultimately saved all our lives." "Red, I didn't do this all on my own." Silver said as Red smiled before he said, "Right. Because we're a team. We couldn't have done anything without Chuck and Bomb, Dahlia, Lucas, Poppy and Willow, or Courtney and Garry. Or Gale and Leonard."

"Actually, we probably could've done it without Gale and Leonard. Let's be honest, huh? And even Mighty Eagle. And last, but certainly not least, those adorable hatchlings and my family." He looks at his family as they smiled at him as he continued, "We are strongest when we all band together. Just like Super String." Everybody cheered, now respecting Silver as the silver colored bird smiled before Red said to Garry, "Okay. Garry, now." Garry pressed a button which the drone lifts the curtain up, revealing a monument with the team's faces on it as Red said, "You see, these guys are the real heroes. They're the ones who deserve your love, not me."

"We love you even more now, Red!" One bird said as the crowd cheered, which Red was shocked before Silver said, "See? You're not in this alone." Red smiled as Zeta yelled out, "I'm married now. Let's party, y'all! I's married!" Everybody else partied and celebrated for the two wedded couple.
