" Hey Dawn! What's up?"

Dawg groaned. " Kenny, I need help with my nieces."

" Okay, I'm coming!"

" Wait, you're not gonna tease me?*

Kenny grinned. " I'll tease you in front of the kids."

Dawn groaned.



When Kenny stepped into the house, he ducked as a block soared through the sky

" Avery! Stop that!" Dres scolded, then waved at her boy. " Hi Kenny!"

" Wook, Mia!" Avery yelled, pointing at Drew. " It's Aunt Dawn's husband!"

Kenny blinked, and Drew choked on her breath. " What?!"

Averh gave an innocent smile. " Yeah! Mommy say when two people wike eat oder, dey mawy!"

" Did they say that?" Dawn's asked with a dark expression . " Your mom is in big trouble."

Mia, Avery's ten year old sister, looked up from her tablet. " Hmmmm...." She said, surveying Kenny and Daen. " No, this will not do."

Dawn blinked. " What will not do?"

Mia ignored. " Aunt Dawn, go into that bathroom._ she said, pointing to one. " And uncle Kenny, the other."

" But wh-"

Avery shot Dawn a look, and a sweatdrop appeared on her head. " Okay okay...."



When they came out, they blinked and stared at one another.

Dawn was wearing a pale blue gown with a pink veil. Kenny was wearing a white starched shirt with a pale green vest

" Uh.... You look nice?" Kennt offered.

Dawn gave him a look " you don't look half bad yourself."

" Hey!" He exclaimed. But before he could say another word, Mia came in.

" Ah, good. You two are ready. Come on, the guests are waiting."

" What are the guests for?* Dawn asked.

" Your wedding."

" OUR WEDDING?!" they yelled.

But before they could say anything else, Lily had already thrown them out.

When Dawn stood, the first thing she saw was Ash, Misty, Brock, and May confused and dressed in fancy attire.

" Uh..... Who's the wedding for?" Misty asked, confused.

Dawn looked around in utter disbelief as Mia stood at the altar, holding a clipboard and wearing an oversized hat adorned with fake flowers. Kenny rubbed the back of his neck, visibly uncomfortable in his pale green vest.

"This has to be some kind of nightmare," Dawn muttered under her breath.

Kenny leaned closer to her and whispered, "If it is, we're both trapped in it."

"Quiet, you two!" Mia called out, adjusting her "wedding planner" hat. "Aunt Dawn, stand here. Uncle Kenny, there." She pointed with authority to their respective spots in front of the makeshift altar, which appeared to be a pile of books draped in a white bedsheet.

Ash, Misty, Brock, and May sat in the "audience," which consisted of mismatched chairs dragged from every room in the house. All of them exchanged baffled looks.

"Uh, Mia?" Ash raised his hand. "Why are we here again?"

"For the wedding, duh!" Mia replied without looking up from her clipboard.

Misty crossed her arms. "Whose wedding?"

Mia sighed dramatically. "Aunt Dawn and Uncle Kenny's. Now, can everyone stop asking questions? We're on a tight schedule!"

"Wait—" Dawn started, but Avery cut her off with a stern look.

"No interrupting! Or no cake!" Avery threatened, her little arms crossed.

Dawn groaned and turned to Kenny. "Are you seriously going along with this?"

Kenny shrugged helplessly. "Do we have a choice?"

Before Dawn could retort, Mia clapped her hands. "Alright, let’s get to the vows! Uncle Kenny, you first!"

Kenny's eyes widened. "Vows?!"

Mia pulled a piece of paper from her clipboard and handed it to him. "I wrote it for you. Just read it."

Kenny scanned the paper, his face turning redder with each line. "Mia, this is—"

"Romantic, I know," Mia interrupted with a proud smile. "Now read!"

Kenny sighed deeply, then began, his voice monotone and reluctant. "Dawn, from the moment we met, I knew you were special. Your fiery spirit, your determination, and your kind heart have always inspired me. You make every day brighter, and I can't imagine my life without you."

Dawn's jaw dropped, and Misty let out a stifled laugh.

"Keep going!" Mia ordered.

Kenny glared at her but continued, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I promise to always be by your side, to support you, and to cherish every moment we share. You are my best friend, my confidante, and the love of my life."

Dawn's face burned with embarrassment. "Mia!"

Mia ignored her. "Your turn, Aunt Dawn."

Dawn crossed her arms. "I’m not saying that!"

Mia frowned. "Fine. Then no one gets cake."

Dawn groaned and snatched the paper Mia handed her. She skimmed it and turned an even deeper shade of red. "You have got to be kidding me."

"Read it!" Avery cheered.

Dawn sighed and started, her voice low and filled with mortification. "Kenny, you’ve always been there for me, even when I didn’t realize how much I needed you. You’re my rock, my partner in crime, and the person who makes me laugh when I want to cry."

Kenny stifled a laugh, earning a sharp glare from Dawn.

"I promise to stand by you, through thick and thin, to support your dreams, and to never let a day go by without telling you how much you mean to me. You are my home, my heart, and my forever."

The room fell silent, save for Ash stifling a laugh behind his hand.

"Beautiful!" Mia declared, clapping her hands. "Now, Uncle Kenny, you may kiss the bride!"

"WHAT?!" Dawn and Kenny shouted in unison.

"No way!" Dawn added, taking a step back.

"Not happening," Kenny agreed, crossing his arms.

Avery marched up to them, hands on her hips. "It’s not a wedding without a kiss!"

"Nope," Dawn said firmly.

"Absolutely not," Kenny agreed.

Avery's eyes narrowed, and she grabbed a nearby water gun. "Kiss, or else."

"You wouldn’t," Kenny said, narrowing his eyes.

Avery squirted him in the face.

"Fine!" Kenny exclaimed, throwing his hands in the air.

Dawn groaned. "This is the worst day of my life."

With exaggerated reluctance, the two leaned closer. It was the quickest, most awkward peck imaginable, but it was enough to satisfy Avery and Mia.

"Yay!" Avery cheered, throwing confetti into the air.

"Alright, wedding’s over. Can we go now?" Kenny grumbled.

"No," Mia said with a grin. "Time for the reception!"

Dawn and Kenny groaned simultaneously.
