"Should we wait, or tell everyone right now?" asked Joey, excited.

"Let's make the announcement right now!" Alessandro replied, just as excited as Joey was. "It's the perfect time! Everyone who is important to us is already here!"

Joey and Alessandro walked, hand in hand, back into the penthouse.

"Everyone," Joey said, to get everybody's attention, which worked, "we have an announcement to make."

All of the guests and Mr. Peabody looked at the two. Joey and Alessandro looked at each other, smiling. "We're getting married!" Alessandro burst out, joyfully.

The whole room was filled with exclamations of happiness, especially from Alessandro's parents and Mr. Peabody. They hugged the happy couple.

"We have even more reason to celebrate, now!" Mr. Peabody said, beaming.

Joey showed everyone her ring, proudly. Christy squealed with excitement. "I'm so happy for you guys!"

"I want you to be my maid of honor," Joey told her best friend.

"I can't wait! When is the wedding?"

"We haven't decided yet," replied Alessandro.

"We should have it before we go to school," Joey stated.

"That will only give you a couple of months to plan," Mr. Peabody remarked.

"Oh, it's okay. We don't want anything too elaborate or fancy."

The rest of the party was spent talking about memories of high school and plans for the future. Christy was going to college to become a lawyer, but she promised she would be there for Joey and Alessandro's wedding. There was so much energy and excitement at the party that by the time it was over, Joey was exhausted.

After everyone left, including Alessandro, who gave Joey a kiss goodbye, Mr. Peabody went up to Joey and hugged her. "My little girl is growing up," he said.

"Daddy?" Joey asked. She looked at his face. His eyes were filled with tears.

"I'm sorry, Josephine. I'm just so overcome by emotion. It seemed like just yesterday that I brought you home, and now, you've graduated from high school and are getting married."

Joey smiled. "I'll always be your little girl. Don't worry."

"Oh, yes, I know," the canine said, wiping his eyes. He smiled at her. "I need to clean up."

"I'll help."

Mr. Peabody and Joey cleaned up the penthouse, ending a long but happy day.
