I Cross My Heart

By: DJ Rodriguez

(Author's Notes: Hey everyone! How are you all doing? I hope that all of you are doing well. I also hope that you are all doing your best in what you do & enjoying it to the fullest!

Before I say or do anything, I want to give praise and glory to the Lord. Thank you God for looking after me and guiding me in your Ways, Will and Word! Thank you Jesus for looking after my family and being with them, protecting and walking them through scenarios and such that really make us look to you when things are dire. I will continue to do the same as well, to look to you Lord for strength, guidance, wisdom, insight and courage! Thank you Jesus again for the wonderful gift of imagination that you have given to me, and I want to use it in your name as best I can!

It has been a very active time for me so far this 2020, with finishing my 2nd Annual Disney/Toho Kaiju Music Video Awards special & getting my Star Vs. story Marco at a Crossroads off the ground with a solid foundation as best I can. Also finishing my Monsters and Magic Movie Trailers special, which I hope some of you go to check out. Combine that with helping other fellow Authors with their works, I have been a bit busy!

While it pleases me to help many people out with their works… also a bit sad with seeing something else. I haven't been getting some reviews from some of my usual Author friends on some of my stories. I hope that they are okay and also that I hear back from them soon…

In addition, still haven't heard anything from Disney after I sent them more of my letters which tell them about my Disney/Toho works. Sigh… combine that with not seeing any kind of advertisement such as drawings or video reviews for my Monsters and Magic series, I have been feeling a bit depressed and wondering if I should even continue my Disney/Toho work.

I mean, I do have patience and such… but even it has a limit & all I have now is just hope that something fortunate comes my way concerning that. I want to work hard for my dream in getting the companies to take a look at my Disney/Toho works, see that it is what they need to get out of this situation they are in & make them into how I envisioned them to be. But… I am at a dead end at the moment and don't know what else I can do. Sigh…

I am sorry about my rant. Just… Just feeling stagnated and don't know what else to do. Forgive me. I just sent another letter out to Walt Disney Animation Studios, which will make this my 12th attempt into contacting them, so please wish me luck here.

In any case, I hope you all enjoy this continuation of my Danny Phantom one-shot here. I wanted to do something special for my birthday, which you can see when it is at my Bio/Profile page here. And also hope it gets me out of this funk I am in.

Danny Phantom is a cartoon series that was created by Butch Hartman, developed by Steve Marmel. The series aired on April 2004, the network that released it was Nickelodeon. The production companies were Billionford Inc. and Nickelodeon Animation Studios, with the distributors being Viacom International Inc. and Nelvana. Look for my Danny Phantom series and specials when getting the chance, if you please.

The song used here is I Cross My Heart, written by Steve Dorff and Eric Kaz. It is sung by American country artist George Strait. It was recorded in April 1992, released in September 1992 as a single in his album Pure Country. It was also shown in the movie of the same name that was directed by Christopher Cain, produced by Jerry Weintraub. It was distributed by Warner Bros., released on October 1992. The album itself was made at SoundStage and Emerald Studios at Nashville, Tennessee & at Warner Studios in Burbank, California. Label is by MCA Records, producers were Tony Brown & George Strait.

Also, I will be showcasing the church I go to. It's called Summit Christian Center at San Antonio, and also the pastors there Rick & Cindy Godwin. It used to be Eagle's Nest Christian Fellowship before it evolved into Summit. Both are incredible ministers of the church, and awesome speakers for the Lord. Believe me, they are something to see and hear!

Now on with the special!)

The day is Thursday, March 24th 2022. It is now twilight, the sun slowly setting in the distance as it gave off a brilliant orange/yellow/purple effect as the night was taking over now. The moon was slowly rising, full and brilliant with the stars ready to illuminate the night. While the sky was peaceful and serene, down below on Earth much activity was going. Specifically at Amity Park, North Dakota at the Summit Extension church. The reason… Danny and Desiree Fenton were renewing their wedding vows!

The building now housed all of the family and friends of Mr. & Mrs. Daniel Fenton, not any of them wanting to miss the joyous event. Within the Main Praise Room, various family members were talking to one another while their little blessings played around the spacious area.

Alejo & Paulina Amido were still going strong, the Latina beauty's success as a coach shining forth from the girls that she helped train. From local competitions, to state and national tournaments… to even the Olympics where they had gone all the way at their very best! The shipping company where Alejo worked for known as Saurus Sails that delivered health & various other goods all over the world was also still thriving, with the young man getting a promotion now as he was an overseer now of the Australian branch department.

Their four kids were also doing good; their sons Armando & Sofronio and their daughters Clarisa & Zarita. Armando was eleven years of age, Sofronio ten years of age. Clarisa was eight years old, and their most recent addition Zarita was three years old. The eldest brother was looking after his youngest sibling, who was a little bundle of energy as she toddled around between the chairs and the aisles. Armando was very protective of his siblings, especially of Zarita. The children have had their shares of mishaps and sickness when they got it, but under the loving care of their parents and some excellent doctors, they were now happy, healthy and strong.

Guarin & Star Raulf were also doing well for themselves & with one another. The blonde beauty's fashion career was still running strong, Star's fashion designers for almost any occasion had made sure to keep her in the top five list of best designers in the world! While not number one, she was still satisfied with her work & also that she had done it all without sacrificing integrity and honor. Her husband Guarin was still one of the best astronomers on the planet, even discovering a new constellation & naming it Gamera… since strangely it did look like the head of the famous Japanese giant monster.

Their children were also doing well; their son Nel & two little girls Pleasance & Quianna. Nel was ten years of age, Pleasance nine years of age & their latest sibling was three years old. Their son was quite adventurous and bold, while his sisters were a bit more reserved. But when something came along that got them angry… they would explode with furry and rage that was similar to a volcano! For Pleasance, it would be anything that would try to harm her family.

One time near a grocery store, her mother was strongly accosted by a man who tried to get acquainted with one of her body parts, the little lady screamed and rushed towards the stranger! She bit, slashed and punched with her fists to get the vile man off of her mother. Thankfully, police were nearby and arrested the stranger. Star was very grateful to her daughter for her actions.

Brenuor & Jazz Cawr also had a good run so far, in both their marriage, family and business life. Jasmine was a top counselor in the United States, highly recommended by a number of people. She treated and helped people that ranged from ordinary citizens to even high-profile movie stars, politicians, business people and more! She never turned anyone away, helping even the most bizarre and hopeless cases to get their lives turned back around & on the right track! Amazingly, it was thanks to Danny and Desiree's Christian ways & help that she was able to persevere. In fact, she was now a Christian herself like her brother!

Her husband was a sensational storywriter now, making children's books that were a hit with the little ones. He also wrote some comedy-romance short stories, one called The Spirit That Played Rock won a Pulitzer Award! His inspiration came from Ember, the spectral beauty showing the young mortal her vast assortment of music that she had managed to acquire over the years. Said rocking spirit was still at it, though now making legit concerts that sprang up worldwide!

Their children were also doing good, the son Orval & daughter Tamika were playing with the other little ones nearby. The twelve year-old son was studious and serious like his mother, but their ten year-old daughter was quite imaginative & energetic like her father.

Tucker & Natsumi Foley were also doing well for themselves & their family. The African-American man was still a valuable employee for the Microsoft corporation, even going as to make vast improvements in their products. He had recently been promoted to be a Software Development Engineer of a mid-level rank! His wife Natsumi was still a hard-working conservation specialist, her advice & exemplary work in the field helping much needed areas like the rainforest and the oceans.

The duo always made time though for their precious treasures; Zelda & Aiko their daughters and their son Masego. The twin eleven year-old girls were quite the troublemakers, energetic and loving to pull childish pranks but making sure that it never seriously hurt the person. Masego was a chip off his old man, the nine year-old displaying a talent with technology that made Tucker quite proud.

Hathus & Samantha Theudis have been living well. The young Gothic-loving woman was still making her unique designs for various movies, her husband designs bringing back the architect style of gothic culture that had flourished in the late 1980s with his own works that had a subtle but strong difference in them that made them more appealing to the Hollywood workers.

Their ten year-old son Ricimar actually preferred something more vibrant and colorful then his parents work, opting more for the classic movies that showed on Disney. His twin sister Gelvira also liked something more bold yet different than her parent's taste, more along the lines of the still-popular Monsters and Magic movies that appeared in 2014 & still going strong. Her favorite was the TV movie Monsters and Magic Special: Sofia's Imagination that featured a crossover between the movie series and the Disney Junior show Sofia the First.

Jack & Maddie Fenton were doing good & also has experienced the most change out of everyone there! They were still making products that aided many citizens all over the planet in defending themselves from rouge spirits and specters that loved nothing more than to cause mayhem and mischief. With more natural portals opening up, and spirits coming from them that were much more than the average ghost, the FentonWorks business had been booming with the family's self-defense goods being sold everywhere like hotcakes!

But that wasn't the best news… it was this! The scientists had also converted to Christianity, just like their son and daughter did!

After some years of being part of their children & their grandchildren's lives, they started to see and believe that there was something much more to them. That it wasn't just their own actions that led them to having good lives, but something just more… profound and amazing as the family took on challenges/obstacles that would overwhelm them, yet having the help from Christ that guided them not only out of the problem… but conquering it & growing stronger together.

So a year ago, Jack and Maddie made the decision together. They went to Summit Extension and with witnesses such as their families and friends, with Damien & Maria Destryuk doing the honors of baptizing the couple together at the same time. The newly emerged Fentons gradually but strongly started to see a new outlook in their lives, and a richness they thought was not even possible, as they continued their passion in research… but with a stronger bond now between their families & with the One on High that really proved that there was someone good looking out for them.

The duo were currently bouncing the two latest additions to Danny and Desiree's family on their laps… little fraternal twins Arron & Fatima Fenton!

Arron and Fatima were born on January 20th last year, the delivery of the twins a very joyous event for entire family & friends! The parents had picked out the name Fatima from a character that was featured in the 1994 Disney animated series Aladdin, in the same manner that they had given Sadira her name. They were healthy and happy little ones, being spoiled by the grandparents & godparents very much.

Arron was wearing a onesie that showed the character Jet Jaguar from the Disney/Toho movie Monsters and Magic: Divide and Unite while Fatima was wearing a onesie that showed two Princess Sofia's, one in her princess attire with staff on the left & on the right wearing the armor from the TV movie Monsters and Magic Special: Sofia's Imagination. It showed the words Two Forms, One Strong Princess. Their older sibling Sadira was playing with the other children.

Dani Fenton was now a young woman of around twenty-two years of age. She was a sophomore now in college, going to North Dakota State University. Her halfa powers as Dani Phantom had grown exponentially, same with her cousin Danny. Along with gaining ice powers like said cousin, she also gained wind abilities that gave her the power to control any kind of air molecules! And under Valerie's training, she had gained a rather beautiful physique that made her quite popular with the men all over!

However, her body & heart belonged to one man. His name was Peter Banning, a freshman that was a year younger than her but with a zest for life and fun that made college life entertaining! The two had met at the university, at first their personalities getting on the other's nerves. But gradually, slowly… the two started to come around & both started to get to know the other a bit more better.

Peter's infectious positive attitude made it possible for Dani to really enjoy college life and work, while Dani helped him to be more grounded but not losing his optimism when it came to either work or life. And also she aided him in seeing that reckless, dangerous kind of fun was nothing to joke around with, especially if it's with your own life.

The duo were now quite tight, many saying they were to be the Power Couple of the Year if things progressed as they were now.

Valerie had also changed, now married as well! She was now married to a young white man named Iwain Perimones, a Spirit Redeemer like Danny & Desiree. The two had met shortly after Valerie graduated from the university that Dani was now a part of, the African-American beauty finding the young man helping an elderly spirit couple who wanted to see their grandchild before making the big leap to Judgement.

Miss Grey was in her Red Huntress persona & gear, swooping down to take care of the ghosts… but Iwain stood his ground and became a living barrier between her and the grandfather & grandmother spirits! Valerie told him to move so she could do her job, but he was steadfast as a knight of old. He proclaimed that it was HIS duty to resolve the couple's problem, and as he gave them his word just now… he was honor-bound to see it all the way through, and he wouldn't have it any other way.

Valerie was impressed by his strength of will and character, comparing it to Danny himself.

She relented and watched as Iwain guided the spirit couple to where they needed to be, which was to their grandson who was doing fine under his mother. The father had died defending his wife and child from a burglar that had entered the abode, so she was raising their son by herself. Once things between the grandparents and their living relations had been settled… the entire group including Valerie herself saw the elderly ones being escorted by angels up the sky… where it opened up briefly to show a kingdom that was truly otherworldly.

And that is when things started to get interesting between Valerie and Iwain.

They had started to date one another, each slowly but truly getting to know the other on various topics and levels. Valerie had managed to get a job as a top-ranked ghost specialist whose title was called Ghost Enforcer, which meant that she was hired by top government officials around the world to keep certain spirits in check. With new specters on the scene that were more formidable that Danny's old ghostly adversaries, she was needed to make sure they would stay in line & not cause too much trouble.

However, she was also careful and cautious on whom hired her. She learned that some government agents/officials were questionable, so she often had Iwain check them out. Turns out, he was good with computers similar to Tucker & often had to dig in deep to see if the clients were clean or good enough to trust at least.

Mr. Perimones gained a job as a CPS (Child Protection Service) worker. Not only was he good with electronics and information data, but also with people too. He had tough assignments and such with certain families, but he was fair and firm. And made sure to help out parents that seemed to be struggling with their new roles as parents.

And after some dating, on February 22nd 2020… the couple had gotten married, with everyone in attendance! And on October 24th of the same year… the world welcomed the little bundle of joy Jessie Grey-Perimones, a beautiful little girl that was healthy and strong!

Currently, said little girl was being babysat at their home since she was a bit under the weather. Not too serious, but the father and mother just decided not to take any chances. With her or the other little ones that might get sick if they tried to get near her.

Next couple was Damien and Maria Destryuk, the duo still going well and strong together. Many learned from them since they had been married for about 35 years or so! The two worked with the Summit Extension, bringing more beings into Christ… both mortal and spirit as even some ghosts popped into the church & for once didn't want to cause any kind of mayhem when they did! In addition, the godparents looked after the latest additions to the Fenton family when said family members were preoccupied with their jobs. Aaron had become attached to Maria very much, while little Fatima always had a smile on when handled by Damien.

Among the people were new faces, such as Dave & Gwen Howard, Duncan & Clawdeen Rosenblatt, Joe & Venus Ozmos and finally Daniel & Robecca Troniquez. These particular people were good friends of Danny Fenton… and also the team that has helped him launch his career more at NASA!

The young man was still monitoring the stars and most of space from his position on Earth, but now he was venturing to checking the very edges of the planet personally. Mr. & Mrs. Howard were the primary financial benefactors, providing Danny with capital to purchase necessary equipment. Duncan and Clawdeen aided in designing mission clothes for the times he would have to travel into space in his halfa form. Mrs. Rosenblatt designed the uniform, changing it often but with subtle difference that made each one unique. Her husband made sure that the suit & Danny would stand up to anything that would occur in space, testing both in various kinds of conditions and tests.

Joe & Venus Ozmos helped by studying plant pollen that often drifted in the atmosphere. The various pollen would stick to Danny's uniform or being, and when coming down, the duo would examine the plant particles to see how being high in the sky & near space would affect them. On a rare occasion, the halfa hero would bring pollen that had been from the Ghost Zone a.k.a. Purgatory that had escaped from said realm via natural Ghost Portals and floated in the air.

Daniel & Robecca were the experts in anything technological and mechanical, outfitting Fenton/Phantom with various jet booster packs that were of their own design. Said packs would allow his halfa form to travel faster & higher to the edges of the planet itself high up, and also designing for him safety gear that covered almost every base conceivable to the human imagination.

The other guests were a bit of a surprise for the others, but not by much considering they were good friends with Danny and Desiree. Floating amongst the various guests was Empress Dorathea a.k.a. Dora, Ember McLain, Kitty Melicent & the specter werewolf known as Wulf! Along with other members that belonged to Ember's popular rock group!

Empress Dora had actually ascended from being a princess in her ghostly realm. While it was now as modern as one can be in the human world, the subjects had loved Dora so much due to her hard-working efforts, good nature & firm moral center. The people had elected her to become prime ruler of her world within the Ghost Zone, but opted to call her Empress since she was more than a mere president or such to them. The title & name stuck and Dora did her best to lead her people justly and rightly.

Ember had gone from pop sensation in the spirit world & human world to world-class diva in both realms! She had formed a rock band known as the Multi-Dimensional Rock Heads, since they did play in two different dimensions of the living and dead. She also hired some back-up singers and dancers that were once part of a male pop sensation, but had been fired due to false claims. And even though their innocence was shown, they refused to go back to the old employer.

Their names were Francine, Nozomi, Matia & Demetra. And now the band members & dancers were at the event since Danny and Desiree hired them to be the entertainment for the evening. When the four ladies had come to Amity on tour with the band one day, they managed to get some lessons from Desiree that really added some new routines to their shows!

Kitty Melicent had changed from a biker girl to a beautiful spectral woman that had filled out in all the right places, her spirit body now very much lovely like Ember's and Dora's. She also had a permanent beau now, a young Polish spirit man going by the name of Jędrzej Lew. He was a year older than her, but he was vastly different from the womanizer Johnny Thirteen. He treated her like she was a blessing from the Lord; faithful to her, loving, focusing only on her even when other beautiful women were around & also thoughtful to her feelings on various levels.

A year ago, Johnny had seen the two together and had been furious. He hadn't changed though at all, only growing a small beer gut and zipping around both Purgatory & the mortal world in trying to get a good time with any kind of woman. He and his Shadow tried to get Mr. Lew… but he proved himself like his name stood for which was 'warrior'! He soundly thrashed the punk, giving him clear warning that the next time he pulled anything like that… he would make the biker beg to be sent to Judgement.

In addition to having a worthy man by her side, Kitty was also teacher to Sadira! A year ago, little lady discovered that she had inherited her father's spirit abilities such as turning into a halfa like him! But her element core was different… it was of lighting, not ice! And since Kitty also had the same core, which was as rare as ice itself, it was to her that she was properly training Sadira even now to control the power of the lighting.

Wulf had not changed much at all physically in all the years, but he stood taller and prouder now. It was due that he found himself a worthy mate just last year, a beautiful she-wolf that spoke his language & also had a unique abilities with her claws. While he could create portals with his claws by slicing the air… his mate could utilize any kind of element in her own claws! She could change her claws to show various colors that were linked to the elements; red for fire, brown for earth, white for air, blue for water, golden for lighting, silver for light & black for darkness. She could use any element in either her left or right claw, also being able to mix elements in her own clawed hands!

Right now, she was back at their home in the Ghost Zone, looking after the pups that they had made together.

Another pair of guests there was Deuce & Cleo Gorgon, friends of Danny but in a different way. The duo were from the Ghost Zone & assistants to the halfa in all things spirit related. Danny was still considered the King of the Ghost Zone, and was still challenged by many spirits who wanted his title and riches. However, Deuce and his lady love were different. They sought employment from the king, not a fight. Cleo had a talent for rightly appraising items that were considered rare and valuable, while her beloved had a knack for keeping spirits/specters who wanted to battle the ruler of Purgatory at bay.

So Deuce was now Danny's official Royal Bodyguard whenever he had to go to the spirit realm on any kind of business, Cleo the Royal Appraiser for the treasury. Needless to say, Cleo fell in love with the job instantly as truly the horde that was accumulated & left behind by Pariah Dark was immense! It would take her some time still to go through everything.

Wulf was being chased by the living little ones now, smiling as they chased what they deemed 'the large puppy'. The onlooker's laughed/giggled/chuckled as they saw the large werewolf being 'hounded' by the kids being led by Sadira.

Just then, Rick and Cindy Godwin came in on the scene. The couple had come all the way from San Antonio, Texas to be part of the renewing of the vows since it was Rick that had brought Danny and Desiree together in many ways long ago. When the duo came in, Cindy exclaimed, "Okay everyone, time to get to your seats! Danny and Desiree are just about to start things off!".

This got everyone quickly going back to their seats, close friends of the family having reserved seats in the front row. Sadira sat beside Maddie while her siblings were given to Damien and Maria, infant car seats next to their chairs at the end of the aisle. Rick took his place at the podium near the steps that led to the stage, Cindy by his side this time around.

Ember and her band waited for the signal… and it was given by the pastor as she & her entourage started to play the song from the 1998 hit movie Armageddon, the music-only part of I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing from the American rock band Aerosmith.

Coming in from the open doors in the back was twenty-nine year-old Daniel Fenton, dressed sharply in a tuxedo as he wanted to be at his best for the renewing of his vows to his wife. He smiled as he saw Rick and Cindy; the two potent workers of the Lord that had saved him from his own self-destruction when he was under pressure, introduced him to Jesus and what He stood for, became a Christian himself, baptized Desiree that allowed her to become fully human & mortal once more… and the ones who brought the two of them together in holy matrimony.

When he got to the podium, he nodded to the married couple in gratitude for all they have done for him. And continuing to do back home. He went to the left side and waited… which was not too long.

The band continued to play the music from the movie… and emerging was Desiree Gamila Fenton, dressed in a beautiful white outfit that clung tightly to her form. Despite giving birth to three children, her body form had the right curves and suppleness that would make any man drool & go wild for! But it was too bad for them that her body, heart, mind, soul and spirit belonged to only one man… her husband who was waiting for her down the aisle. Their eyes met, love shining brilliantly in each of them as they saw the other.

Desiree soon stopped and stood on the right side of Rick Godwin, turning and looking directly at Danny.

The music ceased and Rick started to speak. He stated, "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here for the renewing of vows between Daniel & Desiree Fenton. For seven years, these two had gone through thick and thin. They have endured the trials and test of not only love & marriage, but also of parenthood. They have gone through so much both physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and spiritually. But instead of just looking out for one another… they both looked to the Lord for guidance, wisdom, strength, courage, conviction, love, grace and patience. And in doing so, not only overcame the trials… but did so together, becoming more forged and enduring to one another, to their families and friends & to Jesus. Now, we are here to witness them speaking the words they spoke to one another on this very day when they were joined in holy matrimony. Danny, if you please?".

The young man nodded and turned to his wife, his heart almost bursting to see his love standing before him. Just as lovely as the day when they came together as one. He spoke softly but with love & conviction in each word, "Desiree, you showed me long ago that there was more to you than just the physical parts and powers. You showed me that you were vulnerable, but trusted me enough to help you. And I am glad that you trusted me with seeing that side of you. I promise to always look after you, put your needs before my own, be faithful and loving to you from here to eternity… and also to show you that no matter how much time passes, my fire for you will always burn strong and true.".

Desiree had tears in her eyes, not bothering to wipe them away as they were tears of joy, love and hope. When Cindy told her it was her turn to speak, she did so with the same intense emotion & intimacy as Danny did for her.

She stated softly, "Danny… you… you really helped me to become so much more than I was back in the past. I was so twisted and full of pain from my past so many centuries ago… and still when I had passed on to become a genie spirit. But you… you rescued me from myself. You showed me something truly more better and right than I ever thought possible. You were patient with me, kind to me… and showing me a side of you that I am honored to know now. I refuse to leave you, refuse to stop loving you. You are the half that truly makes me whole… and I will go where you will go. And every day… I thank the Lord that we are together. And pray every day that we stay together.".

There was not a dry eye in the audience, although some of the kids were a little antsy as they wanted to ceremony to be over so they could play again.

Danny than showed his wedding ring to everyone, turning the crowd and proclaiming, "I took Desiree as my wife back in 2013 on this very day… and I plan to be by her side always as her husband, if she will continue to have me.".

Desiree did the same thing with her wedding ring and stated, "I took Danny as my husband on that same day. And I plan to be at his side for all time, just as I hope he is always by mine.".

They soon clasped hands, looking at one another and stating as one, "As God as our witness, as Jesus Christ as our very Cornerstone in our lives and with our families and friends… we pledge ourselves to one another & to Him. In sickness and in health, for better or for worse, for rich or poor… we vow to be faithful, passionate, loving, strong and dedicated to one another!".

Rick and Cindy Godwin than declared as one, "And ladies and gentlemen, mortals and spirits… we present to you Danny & Desiree Fenton!". The crowd got to their feet and cheered loudly, the Destryuk couple lifting the little ones from their seats so they could see their parents. Aaron and Fatima smiled and giggled at seeing their mama and daddy together like so, the noise not bothering them at all.

Danny and Desiree than shared a steamy kiss, one that showed their love was hotter than even the core of the Earth itself! And later on, they would have the kids spend the night over at their godparent's house… for they didn't want innocent ears to be subjected to certain noises. Luckily for Sadira, there was no class tomorrow on account the school was closed due repair construction. It seems that several water main pipes had burst, so thus it would take some time for the repairs to be complete.

The couple slowly, reluctantly broke apart as they stared into each other's eyes for some moments before turning to the audience. Danny picked up a wireless microphone from the podium and said, "Thank you everyone for coming! Now, if you would please calm down a bit… I have something special to share.". The crowd quieted down at his request, the people looking at the halfa hero. Aaron was now in the lap of Maria, Fatima in the lap of Damien.

Once he had everyone's attention, he looked to Desiree and stated, "I want to do something special for you. I want to show you and the others here on how much you really mean to me. Rick, if you please?".

Mr. Godwin nodded and went up the steps to the elevated platform, going behind the place that was usually meant for the sound maintenance in the church. He pulled out an old-school CD player boom box, plugged it in and pressed the Play button. Meanwhile, Danny took some steps away from Desiree as he took a deep breath, preparing himself.

Kitty smiled as she got up and grabbed extra chair from the back, flying over quick and putting it behind her best female friend. When Desiree turned and saw her friend putting the chair down, Miss Melicent gestured for her to sit down in it. When she did so, Kitty winked at her knowing on what was going to happen, a silent gesture of good luck before flying back to her own seat.

The song that was now playing was I Cross My Heart, a country song sung by legendary country artist George Strait that was featured in the hit 1992 movie Pure Country! When the part where the lyrics came in, Danny started to sing as his eyes was locked on his wife.

Our love is unconditional

We knew it from the start!

I see it in your eyes…

You can feel it from my heart.

As Danny started to sing, Desiree quickly felt touched and glad as this was her & Danny's favorite song. The former genie spirit had caught up with the times of today's modern world, but to everyone's surprise… she liked what came forth from the 1980s, 1990s & early 2000's. She and Danny were a bit more retro when it came to certain entertainment features like movies & music. The couple had watched the movie feature George Strait some time ago, and it quickly became Desiree's favorite film due to both said movie & the songs in it.

From here on after,

Let's stay the way we are right now.

And share all the love and laughter

That a lifetime will arrive.

As Danny continued to sing, his heart went completely with both the music and lyrics. To him, this song was more than just a love song… but a promise. A solid promise to love his wife for all the rest of his mortal life, and more so when it came for the two of them to pass on & go to Heaven. That he would share all with his family and loved ones; his joy and sorrows, his triumphs and failures, the happy moments and sad moments… everything in life, he would share with them! More so with his wife though, the very woman who made his life more complete and full of substance in a way that was amazing every day.

{I cross my heart

And promise to…

Give all I've got to give

To make all your dreams come true!

In all the world,

You'll never find…

A love as true as mine!}

As the young Fenton man continued to sing to his wife, the others were looking on with a good kind of pride in their eyes. Jack and Maddie were so proud of their son in finding a really terrific woman that made him happy & also that both were quite dedicated to one another. And also that they followed the path of the straight and narrow, knowing that it had its obstacles and trials… but instead of letting the challenges get to them, they rose to it and in turn had their love & trust in each other re-forged to become stronger, better… deeper. And also their faith and trust in the Lord to see them through. It really amazed the scientists on how they ever managed to go through life without Jesus in it. But now, they never wanted to go a day without Christ with them.

You will always be the miracle

That makes my life complete.

And as long as there's a breath in me…

I'll make yours just as sweet.

Kitty, Dora and Ember were very glad that their former spirit friend had finally found someone to take care of her, understand her and also to give her what she craved for many centuries… love and patience. The empress and the rock star diva wondered if they could find someone like Danny to love them, to give them that special & secret love that would make their souls more complete and fulfilling like they had seen from Danny and Desiree. They continued to hope to find that special man that would complete them… and show them a kind of substance and strength that they were witnessing now in front of them.

As we look into the future,

It's as far as we can see.

So let's make each tomorrow…

Be the best that it can be.

When this song came up, husband and wife looked to their children. To Sadira, Aaron and Fatima. In their view, they were the future. To see them grow up under their love and care, to teach them everything that they needed to know about the world, to see them soon spread their wings and soar in the sky. And also that they go with God in all they do, to walk and live with Jesus Christ in their hearts, mind and actions. Danny and Desiree let their gaze linger on their precious blessings for a bit longer before turning to one another, their thoughts completely with the lyrics in making each tomorrow the best. Not just for themselves, but for their children… their future.

{I cross my heart

And promise to…

Give all I've got to give

To make all your dreams come true!

In all the world,

You'll never find…

A love as true as mine!}

Danny's close friends since he was a kid were also looking on with a good kind of pride, glad to see their best friend finally living a life he thought would only be in his dreams. Samantha and Valerie were glad to see their former crush so full of life, vitality and a certain substance that only comes from having a family. He had a beautiful wife that loved and cared for him so much & children that looked to him as a role model/hero/father that they loved to have. And that Danny would truly go the extra mile and more to make sure they were safe, loved, protected and cared for to the very best of his knowledge and abilities. The ladies once again thanked Jesus for bringing together Danny and Desiree like He did those years ago.

And if along the way

We find the day it starts to storm…

You've got the promise of my love

To keep you warm.

Desiree knew for a fact that part of the song was true when it came to her and Danny. There were many times in their marriage where cracks had started to form, when the challenges of parenthood and marriage sometimes became too much for them. Their life was not perfect, as it had its shares of problems and trials. And there were times that each had blown up at the other! But instead of giving in completely to negativity and despair… they came together in prayer and asked God for guidance, wisdom and strength. And each time, they slowly but surely took down each obstacle in their path. The cracks in their lives weren't just repaired, but forged to make themselves and their family & marriage stronger! So when a storm came in any kind of shape or form, Desiree would always count on the love of her husband and family to see her through.

At the musical break in the song, Danny went over to her and kneeled before his better half. He looked into her eyes, seeing the love shining through them though they were wet with tears of joy. He returned the emotion in fully, then took her hand that held the wedding ring. He kissed the back of said hand, like a knight of old that was submitting himself to his lady love that he had fought long and hard to see & have. The females in the audience cooed and softly squealed in delight at seeing such a romantic gesture, Desiree feeling such love bursting from her being that she was almost unable to contain it.

In all the world,

You'll never find…

A love as true as mine!

A love as true as mine.

At the last part of the song, Danny rose up and gently brought Desiree up with him. At the last part of the lyrics, he slowly closed in and gave her a tender kiss on the lips. She returned it in full, and soon the kiss deepened to become something more potent and stronger! When the song finally ended, the audience cheered loudly with a lot of whistles from them. To them, this was worth the wait as this was something really special and sweet!

The couple soon released the kiss, slowly and reluctantly as their foreheads pressed against each other. For the brief moment, it was just the two of them. The noise was buzzed out and they were in their own world for the time being.

However, they came back to reality soon and looked back to their family & friends who were all grinning at the duo. Desiree and Danny blushed, the lovely lady smiling and giggling before trying to hide her face in the hair of her beloved. Danny chuckled, patted her back and brought the microphone up to his mouth. He stated, "Thank you all for coming here to witness this… and thanks for being there for us when we needed you. Thank you very much!".

The audience cheered loudly once again, many saying that they would always be there for them. Sadira rushed over to hug her parents, the adults smiling bright as their blessing hugged their waists tightly & lovingly.

Danny than announced, "So everyone, let's enjoy the rest of the night and event here! Ember, you and your band take it away! Everyone else, enjoy yourselves!".

The rock diva exclaimed that since Danny wanted it, he'll get it as she flew back to the stage with her band members also rushing back to their instruments. The four dancers also hurried so they could show the group what they were made of.

So it was that Danny and Desiree enjoyed the rest of the event as they talked with family & friends, ate delicious treats and drink with them, played with the little ones… and also thanking the Lord very much for all He had done for them. And promising to always look to Him first in everything, and also to look out for one another as well.

(Author's Notes: And… cut! That is it for this one! This one is truly complete now! I had to go back to my one-shot and take down a lot of notes to see what I needed to do, but it was all worth it!

Before I say or do anything else, I want to give praise and thanks to the Lord! Thank you God for giving me the courage, conviction and strength to really follow through with this chapter here! Thank you Jesus for also watching out for my family & their own families as well! I am not ashamed to be a Christian and also bold to put you in my stories, Jesus Christ! Again, thank you for everything Lord and I hope to use the gift of imagination you gave me more in your name in a very good way!

I also hope that certain Authors liked what I put in here. For Author DRAGONDAVE45 and Elfire, I used them as Dave & Gwen Howard and also used the characters from their story Monster High: Primal Hearts here. And for Author SaurusRock625, I put him here in a way as the company Saurus Sails which Alejo works for. And for my dear friend Dreams Come True 996, I put down her OC dancers here that are with Ember's group & also that said group was featured in my 2nd Annual Disney/Toho Kaiju Music Video Awards special! Also, I used the name Peter Banning from the 1991 movie Hook! Heh, a couple of guess on why I did that? Hehehehe…

And again, advertising my Disney/Toho novels here again. I really hope that one day, it becomes reality that my works become such a hit worldwide just like Disney was in the 1980s and 1990s.

I really love old-school songs like the one featured here. Call me a romantic and such if you must, but I really believe in songs like that. And also this: that women are truly living blessings from the Lord, priceless treasures that should be held on high. Not on a throne mind you, but on a pedestal so all could see their goodness & the special unique differences that are with them. Some obvious yes, but also some subtle yet very strong. That they should be treated with love, dignity, respect, honor, faithfulness and patience. They really are the better halves of us men, and I also believe in this: God made a man for every woman, and a woman for every man.

And again, I am hoping to see more reviews from my Disney/Toho works & my Star Vs. story. And also hoping and praying to get a positive letter from the Disney Animation Studio. Any kind of help from any of you in getting the companies to see and recognize my works, I would gladly appreciate it. And I also hope to see certain Authors/Reviews return to review my works…

Now for the questions! Ahem…

What do you think of the lives I made for the others such as Paulina, Star, Samantha, Tucker, etc.?

What do you think of the children that were presented here?

What would you be doing at the place before the renewing of vows started?

What would be going through your mind at seeing & hearing the vows spoken between Danny and Desiree?

What would your thoughts be at seeing Danny singing to Desiree like so?

And finally this… what would you be doing after the event was over?

R&R, no flames, enjoy and leave LONG reviews!)
