How Green Becomes Wood

"Thank you, I'll need it." Cooger chuckled, giving a fist bump to both boys before heading out.

That night, Dark and Daizi crawled into bed, separated by by a carefully built pillow wall, but found it difficult to actually sleep. It was such a big day, and they stayed up too late just talking. Even so, when Daizi woke that morning, it was to Dark carving more designs into their bed post, just as he had every anniversary.

Because Dark and Daizi needed to get ready at the venue, they suggested they take different cars so the twins didn't need to wait around at the venue doing nothing. It'd be easier for Ivy, too. Overall, her presence at the event caused minor stress, but since Amty Zeinab had stayed just long enough to see the renewal, when Ivy got too tired, she's take her home.

The twins would need to arrive an hour before the ceremony began, and as they got ready to leave, Dark asked, "Would you need help to tie your ties?"
 
"I think we'll be okay," Xander assured him. "I'm pretty sure we'll manage. We've practiced a couple of times, and if we get it wrong, I bet someone will fix it for us."

"Are you sure you have everything?" Alec fretted. "If not, text us and we can bring it."
 
"I am quite sure," Dark replied, having made a list and checked it about a hundred times. "But if something is missing, I can assure you I will send frantic, panicked texts, and then a phone call three minutes later."

"It'll be great, we have everything," Daizi replied, "Remember, we're staying the night at a hotel so we don't need to drive all the way home."
 
Alec caught Daizi's hands and squeezed them lightly. "It's going to be so wonderful! You should get going."

"They are trying to. You're the one holding on," Xander reminded him.

"Right." Alec let go so they could make it out the door.
