Kovu and Sima took their positions for the dance to begin. As a Mawashiian drum beat began playing, they took tandem steps towards each other, heavy steps at that. Sima had given him lessons earlier and now Kovu was able to put it into practice. They each shook that flabby bellies as they got closer and closer together, until said guts were touching.

"You take the lead," Kovu encouraged to Sima in a whisper.

..............

"Ok everyone, we only have a limited window of opportunity to free our friends," Bentley said as he pulled up his powerpoint presentation for the Cooper Gang to watch. "We each have a specific part to play."

"I know some robot birds in need of a Shock Pistol blast," Carmelita noted.

"See Po?" Jing smiled between prolonged smooches, "I told you you'd come to like my kisses." She said the latter sentence with utmost passion in her voice. Since the shuttle was on autopilot, neither of the newlyweds had to concentrate on driving.

"Yeah," Po nodded with a blush, liking the new life he was in. "Let's see what the gift from Ozai was," he added, both pandas having a box personalized to them.

................

"Ooh, a Mawashiian dance? What does that entail?" Kiara asked Sima after the two both gave Kovu a kiss.

Sima gave a chortle, and patted both her belly and her behind. "This should be a clue," she winked.

..............

Kovu and Sly met up with the Panda King, Bentley, Dimitri, and Caremlita. "Glad you could make it," Bentley said to Kovu.

"Is it time for the mission briefing?" Kovu figured.

"Yes, and listen carefully, as it requires precise detail," the genius turtle in the Cooper Gang declared.

Kovu smirked at the reference to him.

"He is right, big guy," Sima whispered seductively as she and Kiara began rubbing Kovu's belly. It would bring them good luck, he would say.

Oliver sat next to Panty. "Do you go a lot of these events?" he asked his literal goddess mother.

...................

For the next part of the ceremony, Po and Jing would pat their stomachs in a drum rhythm as the seer read off the next bits. They were going perfectly in sync, like the couple they now were. Jing couldn't wait for the knot to be officially tied. "You bet I am," Jing smirked about Po's comment.

Mr. Ping of course was also one of many restaurateurs who had contributed food for the ceremony. Simply put, even if it had only been the bride and groom eating, a literal TON of gourmet delights would be required. Noodles, dumplings, cakes, and various baked goods had been prepared.

"I'm so proud of you, my daughter," the Panda King smiled warmly to Jing. "Today is the first day of the next chapter in your life. I know Po will make you the happiest you've ever been, and I hope one day your mother will see you the way you are now."

"Thank you father," Jing nodded respectfully. "I've dreamed of this day since I first met Po."

.............

A special section was reserved for divines. Oliver, Tiger, Panty, and Ozai were among the ones who got these special seats.

"Wow......there really are tons of benefits to being a god," Tiger grinned, this being the first event he was invited to as a divine.

"You'll get used to it," Ozai nodded.

"What can I say?" Kiara smirked with earnest pride in her voice, "I like getting the attention of guys. Hope things are going well in the Amazon for you, Xiro."

"They are," Xiro added.

Just then, another message appeared on Kiara's phone. "Looks like John wants to talk to you next," Kovu chuckled.

Kiara nodded and smiled. "I wonder what my English muffin is up to," she commented.

...............

Tiger changed Kitty back into her normal form, but in a very revealing priestess outfit. "There you go," he smirked with a wink. "The mice have been going around, handing out fliers for my first worship ceremony. Now you can give me some praise," he encouraged Kitty.

..............

As Po lied in bed, he realized this would be the last time he went to sleep as a single panda. The next night, Jing would be in bed with him, and they would be together forever, for the rest of their lives.

"She is a nice gal," Po nodded, a bit tired as he was about to dream of married life.

..................

"I'll take some whiskey," Nick Wilde asked of Kiyo.

"Coming right up," the Mawashiian tanuki bartender nodded.

Kiyo the Mawashiian tanuki was serving drinks just outside the arena where the charity matches were happening. She was a skilled bartender, able to put together any drink someone could ask for.  "Anyone up for some shots?" she smiled to her customers.

"You want anything?" Jing as Tigress as she pulled up nearby.

"For after we get back to the hotel, maybe," Tigress replied. "You gonna bring Po something to drink?"

"No, we'd have to unlock his room to hand it to him," the Panda King's daughter chuckled.

Kiyo's husband Shoukichi was also lending a hand. He had donated several bottles of wine and sake for the wedding after party. He and Kiyo had received invites to Po and Jing's upcoming wedding as well.

...............

"Wow, it's always incredible to watch King Ozai in the ring," Zoai said, watching the sumo king easily defeat the 100 opponents who had entered at once.

Ollie was still puzzled about something. "You two say you want to be defeated by him? I mean it's obvious you'll probably lose, but to want to lose?"

"It's an honor to be defeated in the ring by the almighty," Zoai explained to the other cat.

.................

"Either way, we plan to cuddle with you much more often now," Sima purred romantically, giving Kovu a few kisses on his paw and his face. "Hope you ordered a lot of food, by the way."

"Of course I did," Kovu winked, "2 of the 3 of us have literal sumo appetites, and I know Kiara appreciates a big meal as well."

Kiara nodded and licked her lips. "I love watching you eat, Kovu," the Pride Land Princess said. "You look especially handsome when doing so."

..................

As Tiger relaxed upon Kitty's cushion form, he suddenly said "More."

"More what?" Kitty replied.

"More praise, more adoration. I like hearing it from you," Tiger smiled gently.

What Jing and the others were telling Po was only half-true. They were installing security features into Po's room, yes, but they were also making sure that before the wedding, Po would not be able to slip away. Sure he had come around to finally caring and loving Jing in return, but all of Po's friends agreed that they just had to be sure he didn't get any last second cold feet.

"There we go," Tai Lung smirked as he adjusted the last of the installations. He sent Jing a text message.

"Thanks for doing that, he can't slip away now," Jing replied to Tai Lung's message as she set the game up.

....................

Several sumos were eager at the chance to wrestle against Ozai. None of them thought they could actually beat the king, far from it. It was the exact opposite-they not only expected to lose, but wanted to lose to Ozai. When they were defeated in the ring by the sumo king, they became part of Ozai's sacred win count.

100 sumos of various species went in to the ring. Being a charity event, there were a lot less rules than a proper tournament. "100 at a time? This'll be fun," Ozai smiled in confidence.

.................

Tiger sat down upon the transformed Kitty. "You're really comfy," he complimented of her, as his whole weight covered her form. It was a new experience for Kitty, especially now that Tiger was a god.

"This feels.....oddly nice," Kitty admitted, as Tiger adjusted his position on her.

...................

Kovu sent Kiara a text. "Where should I meet you two for dinner?" he asked in it,

Over at Po's party, Tai Lung and the others had a plan for the big guy about what to do once the party was over. They were happy Po had finally come to accept Jing into his life, they just didn't want to take any chances.

"We'll lock him inside," Wandering Blade whispered to Tai Lung.

"Agreed," Ta Lung affirmed.

"This is so awesome!" Po grinned, still watching the fight in the ring.

....................

"Are you gonna bump Po with that thing?" Viper chuckled.

Jing replied matter-of-factly. "Actually, yes. I take it this is the first panda wedding either of you have attended, right? There are some rituals during the ceremony that make use of our size," she patted her belly with pride. "And I'm not just talking about the buffet at the afterparty."

...............

"Say, I don't think I asked this, but what's your favorite color, Kiara? We could pick outfits out in our favorites," Sima suggested, as the Mawashiian lioness eyed the shelves.

"Blue and emerald-green," Kiara replied. "The latter being the color of Kovu's eyes." Oh how she smiled at the thought of her mate's lovely eyes.

Sima smirked at that. "He IS eye candy," she affirmed.

.................

Tiger held the still fattened Kitty close to him. "How about you and I take some time off after the ceremony?" he offered Kitty. "Plus you can work out how to be my chief priestess more."

"Thanks Tiger," Kitty said appreciatively, "I'd like that."

"Thanks mom," Oliver smiled to Arlene as they went inside. "I can't wait to show my friends my new powers!"

Arlene could only give an amused look to her son. "I'm sure they'll be impressed by your sharp teeth," she commended.

"Oh they will," Oliver smirked, showing off said sharper teeth.

....................

"Say, since this is the first panda wedding I'll be attending," Viper said at Jing's bachelorette party, "Are they any panda-specific rituals that will get performed at the ceremony?"

The daughter of the Panda King recalled what her father said about his and her mother's wedding. "Well, besides just a kiss, couples also share a belly bump," Jing recalled.

"And perhaps some couples' hill-rolling?" Tigress figured, remembering her stay at the panda village.

"You got it," confirmed Jing, "I can't wait for me and Po to roll together a ball of flabby love....."

......................

Indeed, Kiara thankfully had some napkins in our purse. "Of course, Kovu probably would've enjoyed cleaning this off of us at dinner time, but we shouldn't walk around the Spire covered in this," she chortled.

"He's earned having his own throne," Sima nodded, "He's plenty attractive, and after the wedding tomorrow he'll be on a heroic rescue mission." She clasped her paws together. "Mighty Ozai, give Kovu the strength to save the day."

The Pride Lander Queen did remember some prior timing. "He was rescued on the day you prayed for his safe return," Kiara noted.

........................

"Wait, but I thought the movies we're watching today are new Ozai films," Ollie said, confused, "How is there another new one coming just days later?"

Zoai and Flash laughed lightly, they new about how often these things got released.

........................

Kitty looked at her still-massive form from Frenchfry's food. "So, do you think we'll be able to get me a chief priestess attire at my current size?" she asked, her stomach squishy like blobs of jello.

"Of course," Tiger promised, "Cat fashion stores know to have everything in XXXXXXXL size if need be. Say, were you alone in that alien's stomach?"

"No, there were others in there.....it's bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside," Kitty explained.

Tiger hmmmmed. "Maybe I can do something about that," he suggested, resting his head against Kitty. "But first, the ceremony!"

"You know, if I eat enough, maybe I can surpass you in weight one day," Kiara said. "I wouldn't mind some sumo training from you, honestly. Between that and my gymnastics, I can be very mobile."

"Well, the post-wedding feast tomorrow will have tons of food, you could start there," Sima winked in reply. "And I'd add to that.....we're lucky to have Kovu. He's big, handsome, fat, smart, and kind, everything you'd want in a guy," she felt her own fat folds as she thought of him.

.............

"My first hunt went really well, mom," Oliver said as he and Arlene walked around the shops. Arlene wanted to get her son a reward for his first successful hunt. "Turns out eating people whole is really tasty...and fun."

Arlene smiled, she could tell Oliver was picking up some traits from Panty.

....................

"You'll probably want to take a bath before the wedding, big guy, but don't add to the mess you'll have to clean," Tai Lung told Po.

"Hey, Tai Lung," the Dragon Warrior replied, "It's ok that you went and married Tigress. I can't say I blame you for taking the chance while I was......occupied. But Jing has proven to be really awesome, so the 4 of us can double date."

"We'd like that," Tai Lung affirmed.

.................

"And I take it Jing will be sitting the mission out?" Kovu figured to the Cooper Gang.

Carmelita and Sly nodded. "She's so happy to be with Po, we figured we'll just let them enjoy their honeymoon and not worry about the mission," Sly said.

"The Guru, Penelope, and Murray need us to save them," Carmelita continued, "Hopefully Bentley's De-mind control device is in its final phases."
