Big Fat Alien Wedding (Gren)

**Big Fat Alien Wedding** is the twentieth episode of Gren 10 (CYOA).

## Plot

Lucy was sitting in the mess hall with Octavia. She was asking about something that was on her mind and V was offering supporting words.

"Are you sure it won't be weird to ask?" Lucy asked again.

"I'm sure it'll be fine. Remember how Gren and I went to the future? We saw older versions of everyone. I distinctly remember seeing a ring around your finger. I don't remember if it was with Gren or not though, but it can't hurt to try," Octavia smiled.

Lucy held her breath and nodded. She then walked over to Gren's dorm room and knocked on the door to the apartment.

Gren walked up to answer the door, being understandably tired after the events of the past few days. He greeted Lucy with an expression of surprise.

"Oh, hi Lucy. Is everything alright? It's... not more alien trouble, is it? Wait, don't tell me, I'll guess... we finally found Animo? One of Zs'Skayr's minions broke out? The mushrooms want revenge after what happened at the camp?"

“No... for once... though this better not turn into one of those... Never mind... I wanted to ask you something."

“Oh. Well, that's a relief", he chuckled. "Sure thing. What's up?"

“So.... my sister is getting married.... to Molly's brother... and well the two families are kind of tense with one another.... I was wondering... if you wanted to go with me...."

“Of course, that sounds really nice", Gren answered without skipping a beat, smiling at Lucy. "Well, not the tension part, but you know what I mean. I'd be glad to go with you."

“Perfect! It's this weekend so be sure to pack enough!” Lucy smiled.

“Will do! Thanks for inviting me."

Lucy ran off with a happy skip as Octavia returned to the dorm a bit later.

“So how did it go?" V asked.

Smoothly", he replied with a wink, "And on top of having a fun weekend with Lucy, I get an excuse to stay away from alien trouble. It's a win-win!"

“She did mention her family is weird... and she is an alien, remember? So idk if that counts or not," V jokingly said.

“As long as I don't end up having to use the Omnitrix, it probably doesn't. Besides, as weird as they may be... I'm Brazilian, it can't get weirder than where I'm from"

“You’d be surprised. From what Lucy told me, you better hope you are legally allowed to drink wherever it is”

“Uh oh. Am I going to regret hoping for a weekend without fighting criminals?”

“Good luck, you may need it,” Octavia laughed.

Friday morning Gren made his way to the teleport platform and saw Lucy and Molly walking up to him.

“Oh, there you two are! Must be an exciting day for your families, huh?", Gren said.

“That will be an understatement..” Molly commented.

“LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED! TIME TO GO TO SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA!” Lucy smiled.

“Heard it's a beautiful place", Gren said as he stepped into the teleporter. "Thanks again for inviting me, Lucy.”

The three teleported and as they arrived at the vineyard, Molly stepped out and started walking. Lucy grabbed Gren before they walked in.

“Some things I should mention… my family is going to be invasive about you. Likely so will Molly's family..”

“...'invasive', you say.``, Gren repeated, his expression changing to one of mild concern. "Go on.”

"You know how in Earth movies in those romcoms the parents always assume they are dating and try to make sure they are good enough for their kid? It's going to be like that but worse."

"Yeah, I'm familiar... but it's probably gonna be fine. At worst I might have to just deflect any questions about..." he lifted his Omnitrix arm and shook his wrist, "this."

Lucy held her tongue as the two walked into the venue. As they walked in Lucy was greeted by her sister. They hugged and smiled and Lucy introduced Gren.

"So you're the Gren I've heard so much about. It's a pleasure to meet you." Camille said.

“Nice to meet you too, I'm really glad to be here.", Gren said while smiling at Lucy after Camille's comment of having heard about him.

“Are mom and dad here yet?" Lucy asked.

"They arrived this morning, I'm sure they'd be thrilled to meet your little.... friend here.." Camille said holding back her teasing, or at least trying to

Gren simply nodded in acknowledgement, pretending he didn't realize she was teasing.Lucy sighed and guided Gren over to her parents. Neither really looked like Lucy, but then again they were Lenopans.

"Mom.. Dad... this is Gren."

So this is the first year you chose to bring as opposed to the fine Lenopan we arranged for you? You and your sister are both so... new aged..." her dad said.

“He looks like he's nothing but trouble. Staying with him will bring conflict..." her mother said.

"I-I-uh, I didn't know Lucy had someone else to bring... and I probably shouldn't have said that. Let's start over. Hi, I'm Caio Grenfell, it's a pleasure to be here."

Gren’s eyes then lit up as if a lightbulb had appeared over his head.

“And I'm a Lenopan."

“I don't have someone else to bring..." Lucy looked at her parents with an angry expression.

“Don't lie to us, child. We know about your Terran origins." Mrs. Mann stared into Gren's soul.

"I was uh, kidding. Brazilian custom, we're basically alien with how weird certain traditions are. Don't mind me.“

The Mann's eyes Gren as they walked away as they were approached by Molly's parents and Molly. The man shook Gren's hand

“Gordon Gunther, it's a pleasure Grenfell. I knew your grandfather. Hope you don't mind all this... sort of a mistake of a wedding.“

Molly smacked the back of her dad's head.

“Mr. Gunther, the pleasure is all mine. Always nice meeting up with Grandpa's friends from back then. And... don't worry, I'm sure it'll be a very happy marriage."

“Sorry, he's still a bit racist... okay, very racist towards Lenopans... a lot of my family is..." Molly sighed, “Actually... all aliens...."

“That's rough, I'm sorry you have to deal with that", Gren whispered to her. "Especially considering the whole academy deal. I can only imagine how they'd react to..." he discretely pointed to the watch. His expression then changed to one of instant regret. "Oh no. I jinxed it.“

“They were pretty annoyed when they went to the Academy their first year to learn aliens were there... and that it was run by one.”

Gordon was about to say something until Molly pushed him along before he could embarrass her more.

“Well, so far this whole thing is definitely going according to expectations", he chuckled.

“It could have gone worse... Come on, let's check out the place!

Gren nodded and followed along, brushing off the tension between the families. The two walk around the lake venue admiring the view

“I'm sorry that it's tense. Camille and I have been trying for years to make them... less so. Molly with her parents as well…”

“Don't worry. I know it's not that easy. Both to live with and to try to change them.”

“It's even worse when both sets of parents are very against the whole wedding.." Lucy sighs.

“Mhm. But the Lucy I'm used to is an optimist", he said, looking into her eyes. "So why don't we look at it this way: it's really nice that Camille and her soon-to-be husband's love can endure this whole unspoken war going on and still flourish despite it. Very... inspiring."

A pause fell over the duo.

“That sounded... unusually romantic, didn't it? I need to watch less novelas...", he said after a pause, putting a hand behind his head

Lucy blushed and smiled.

"I just hope whatever family I marry into can be more accepting, like yours," Lucy unsubtly hinted.

“Y-yeah." Gren replied awkwardly, staring off into the lake, “I... hope so, too."

Lucy leans her head on his shoulder as they look out onto the lake and see the wedding setup outside across the lake from them.

“This is nice *, Gren said under his breath. "We probably shouldn't take too long to go back though. Your family already doesn't like me after all", he continued with a chuckle.*

Lucy let out a sad sigh as she started to get up. She then noticed someone across the lake messing with the wedding setup.

“That’s strange. More setup isn’t going to be done until tomorrow night.”

“Hm. Do you think we should go take a closer look?”

“Definitely. Don’t need something going wrong that’ll give either family a reason to believe they were right”

“For sure." Gren went with Lucy to see the strange activity

They arrive to see someone trying to set the stage on fire. Lucy immediately sends a huge fist to hit them.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing!” Lucy yelled.

Gren instinctively moved his hand to the Omnitrix, but then pulled it back seeing Lucy had everything under control and turned his attention to the saboteur. They continued to try and strike a match, pissing Luucy off more. She went full lenopan and grabbed the person throwing them into the lake. This caused everyone inside to hear and come out.

“Lucy, you need to behave yourself. Stop lashing out just because your father and I hate your boyfriend." Mrs.Mann said.

Camllie went up to her sister to calm her.

“There is absolutely no reason for you two to hate Gren or give Lucy so much shit for liking him. You did the same shit to Joel and I. I won't have you torment them like you did ud! If you can't get your shit together for OUR wedding, you can just leave. I'll have Gordon walk me down the aisle.”

“...climão.", Gren whispered before turning to Lucy. "Are you alright? We can try to explain to them someone was trying to sabotage it.”

Lucy returns to her human disguise and just stares at her parents. She then turns to the water where she threw the person and notices the muddy water. She grabbed Gren and walked off with him.

“Or we can do... this, sure. What's the plan?", he asked as she dragged him away.

“Whoever was setting off the sabotage was a Lenopan. The water I threw him in was muddy after. I think my parents are trying to sabotage and hired outside help."

“Do... do you really think they would...?" Gren did think it was possible, but felt bad about Lucy's situation and wanted to be sure before doing anything.

“They never really liked Joel... or you... they are like the opposite of Gunther's hate humans..”

“Fair enough. Well, I can be non-human for ten minutes at a time. Just enough to get both families' hate", he joked. "Then what are we gonna do to keep 'em from ruining Camille's big day?"

“We need to figure out what they are planning. We'll need Molly's help.”

“Right. In the meantime I could... sigh, use the watch to sneak around and see if I can find anything?”

Lucy nodded and hugged Gren.

“Thank you for being here. And supporting me.”

Gren reciprocated the gesture, embracing her. "Of course."

"I already have a plan on how I'm gonna sneak on your parents without being caught, too.”

“You don’t mean….” Lucy said, catching on to who Gren meant.

“I didn't feel like using it after everything he did to Grandpa, but... yes. I think it's the best option I have for this situation." He activated the watch, and turned the dial until he found Ghostfreak’s silhouette. "And I'm willing to try it out for you."

Gren pressed down on the Omnitrix becoming Ghostfreak. He immediately went invisible and headed out to find the Manns. Ghostfreak located them settling into their room inside the vineyard. They were unpacking when a mud pile slipped under the doorway and formed into a humanoid Lenopan.

“Did Lucy stop you, Logan?” Mr.Mann asked.

“Yeah and her little boyfriend too.”

“God what does she see in him? Is it only to piss us off even more?” Mrs.Mann said with a frustrated sigh.

Ghostfreak rolled his eyes, er, eye at their comment, but continued to watch, paying close attention.

“First Camille with Joel and now Lucy with Gren. I’m definitely not going to that wedding.” Mrs.Mann scoffed.

“What now?” Logan asked.

“We move on to plan B. A bigger disruption.”

Ghostfreak phased into the ground, still invisible, waiting right beside Logan for Lucy's parents' instructions.Logan simply nodded knowing what they meant. There was a knock at the door. Logan deformed and crawled away. Mr.Mann opened the door to Camille and Joel. The two came in and started to talk.

“Listen, we were talking. We are giving both of you one more chance to shape up. If you harass us or Lucy or Gren, that’s it. We don’t care what you think is right. Joel’s andI love each other and Lucy really likes Gren. Give him a chance” Camille asked her parents.

Glancing at them, then back at the door, Gren decided to set his priorities straight and chased after Logan but found him to have disappeared as he exited the hotel room.

“Ugh. He could be anywhere. There should be an easier way to find a Lenopan in disguise.", Ghostfreak thought before deciding to go tell Lucy he at least discovered they have a second, bigger plan.

Gren found Lucy in her hotel room with Molly. He transformed outside their door just for privacy sake. Gren knocked on the door, though slightly disappointed he didn't find out any real information and somewhat creeped out from having been Ghostfreak. Lucy opened it and let Gren inside the room. Molly was in a chair thinking and scribbling stuff down.

"Hey. Didn't find out much other than that their saboteur's called Logan and he's already working on another disruption. What about you two?”

“Logan??? Camille’s ex-boyfriend???” Lucy asked surprised and a bit irritated, “Molly’s working on some report to help her think. She wants notes on possibilities and stuff.”

“Her ex-boyfriend, huh? I guess it makes sense why he's helping them, then. What do you think they're planning next?”

Something bigger… more noticeable…. Likely during the open spa hours tomorrow as a sort of wholesome family event…” Lucy theorized.

Which means it’s up to us to be on guard.” Molly said

For sure. And to keep an eye out on any other suspect activities going on around the place.

The next day, the trio arrived to the spa grounds. Molly had a load of weapons with her

“Had to confiscate these from my parents.” She said

“Here's hoping things don't escalate to that point", Gren commented. "Any hints of them?”

“My parents are we’re they should be, Logan could be anyone here…” Lucy said.

“Logan? Why would Logan be here?” Joel overheard.

“That's kind of a long story, but he really shouldn't be." Gren activated the Omnitrix and turned to Lucy. "I think I know how to sniff him out, though. That being, literally. If I can get a smell cue, "Grenwolf" might be able to identify him”

“I’ll go ahead and cover for you guys. Be sure that douchebag is not here. Be sure Camille does not find out.” Joel said.

Gren hit the watch, having selected his Loboan transformation. Gren transformed into Grenwulf but before he could do anything Molly rummaged through her gear and pulled out an ID mask, handing it to Gren. Gren quickly put it on and began trying to sniff out the Lenopan.

Four Lenopans.... Camille... Lucy... parents.... bingo.. Grenwulf caught a scent of a fifth. Resisting his instinct to just pounce the guy, he signaled to Lucy and Molly instead, discreetly pointing at what he believes is Logan.

Lucy and Molly notice Gren signaled to the caterer and moved over to him signaling back to follow them. The trio approached him with a smile.

“Hey! We were told to help grab out plates of Aunt Vera’s favorite jelly desserts for everyone. Where are they?” Molly asked.

 “I… uhhh…. Follow me,” he said, trying to maintain cover until all the guests got there.

Logan led the group into the kitchen which was empty. Molly swiftly kicked Logan’s back in making him fall to the ground and blow his cover.

“God damn it,” he cursed.

“That was... suspiciously easy.", Gren said, trying to smell out any other possible threats. "There must be something wrong.”

“Don’t count me out yet kids,” Logan sneered, forming his body around.

He launched mud at Molly as Lucy deflected it with her own mud. Gren tore off his mask and leaped at Logan with his claws. Logan regenerated while building up a powerful blast to send Grenwulf flying. Molly took out a pair of escrima sticks.

Gren shook off the mud as he recovered, though he didn't want to use the sonic blast to avoid drawing in attention, so, being familiar with Lenopans' weaknesses because of Tarpit, he simply tried to look around for a source of any of them - heat, cold, water or electricity would all do.

Gren noticed a sprinkler system in the ceiling as well as various stovetops in the kitchen. The sprinkler would hurt Lucy too and he didn’t know how to use the stovetop without straight up killing, so Gren once again goes for a claw attack at Logan.

 Logan regenerated as the two began to form a stalemate. Molly tinkered with the weapons she had combining them as Lucy kicked Logan away from Grenwulf.

 “Could you do a small howl? To minimize attention and damage?” Lucy asked.

“I can try", he said before attempting to do just that, focusing it as much as he could to make sure it would only incapacitate Logan.

The howl hit Logan as Molly swooped in to make sure he was out with a modified electrical baton she rigged together. Once he was unconscious, Molly placed cuffs on him as Gren transformed back into human.

“Let’s get him out of here before anyone sees or notices we are all gone,” Molly advised.

Gren nodded and helped them take the saboteur away. They snuck out with Logan and gave him to a Plumber ship. Once free of Logan, they returned to the spa day wedding party.

“Crisis averted, thankfully.", Gren said with a sigh of relief. "Now we just gotta hope your parents don't try to pull off something else to ruin Joel and Camille's joy.", he said to Lucy. "Or that Molly's parents don't, for that matter”

“For now we can relax and enjoy the wedding like we originally planned,” Lucy smiled.

“Right." Gren put an arm around her. "Though it might be a bit hard to relax knowing your parents already hate me, and are gonna hate me more when they realize what we did about their plan", he whispered.

“We will cross that bridge when we get to it,” Lucy giggled while giving Gren a hug.

“Yeah..." He smiled at her. "Alright, let's enjoy the rest of this then.”

The rest of the day went on without any problems. Gren was able to get a massage helping all the built up tension from fighting aliens for seven months.
“Wow, I haven't been this relaxed since... uh, ever.", he said, relieved. "I'll try to convince Myaxx to put a spa in the academy when we get back.”

The day came to an end and the next morning, Gren was in his room looking over Grenpa’s heirloom suit he was lent. It was bright orange with a green tie.

“Garish? Maybe, but it's a good color scheme", Gren thought out loud as he put on the suit. "I hope he recovers soon from the whole Zs'Skayr situation... I'll check on him when we get back to the academy."

Gren exited and made his way to the lobby where he met up with Molly who was wearing a nice red shirt with a black vest and pants.

“Looking nice, Molly. Where's Lucy?", Gren asked as he looked around.

Lucy comes down the stairs wearing a beautiful crimson dress as she walks over to Gren holding out her arm.

‘Shall we?”

“...Of course." Gren says after a pause, stunned at her, and takes her hand.

The two walk into the wedding and sit together. All goes well with the official going through the spiel.

“If anyone has any reason why these two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold yo-“

Mud was shot at him as he fell his mouth full of it. The attacker was Mr.Mann as he and his wife transformed into their monster forms.

“We have a few objections.”

"I knew things would get heated. Well, I guess they need to chill." Gren immediately hit the watch, going for Arctiguana.

In a flash of teal light Gren had transformed into Woodimentary.

“Thanks for ruining the pun, Omnitrix. I really appreciate it", Gren joked as he enlarged his arm and tried to restrain Mr.Mann.

“See, Molly!? This is why your mother and I needed weapons! We have… Gren… turning into an alien… instead…” Mr.Gunther said.

“Oops. I forgot people weren't used to me doing this. I know you're saying that out of prejudice rather than surprise though. But that's beside the point, can't you all just chill out and let Joel and Camille be happy?”

“I am sick and tired of you both interrupting my relationship with Joel. This ends now. I won’t wait around for you to do the same thing to Lucy,” Camille yelled as she changed into her humanoid Lenopan form.

“This doesn't really have to end in a fight... does it?", Woodimentary said as he stood between the conflicting parties, using his large body to try to keep them distanced.

“It’s the only thing they know… they profited a lot from a war between Lutos and Plumbers until Joel and I’s relationship put a halt to it years ago,” Camille explained.

“Ah, profit. That explains a lot. Not that prejudiced people often need a reason mind you,” Gren said.

Mrs.Mann lunged at Joel only to be blocked by Camille as Mr.Mann charged Gren. Molly handed her brother a weapon as her own parents looked at her.

“What about us?” her mother asked.

“This doesn’t mean you were in the right,” Molly said, giving them weapons as well.

Woodimentary tried to use his own shapeshifting to avoid his attack and counter with an enlarged fist. Mr.Mann was knocked back as Lucy grabbed him and threw him towards the Gunthers who sent a shock to his system.

“Wish things didn't have to end like this", Gren said as he tried to restrain Lucy's mother as well now that her father was dealt with.

With Mrs.Mann outnumbered, her husband detained, she put her arms up as she was arrested by Lucy. Later, after Gren transformed back, he was waiting with Lucy for a prisoner pick up.

"Are you... going to be alright?", Gren asked as he turned to her. "I mean, it must be a bit tough, having to deal with your parents being arrested - or, actually, having to arrest them. Not that they didn't kind of deserve it but... you know what I mean.”

“It… I was hoping for this to be a nice weekend. See my parents again, have them meet you, see my sister get married. Now.. now it’s just another disaster. You probably don’t want anything to do with me after this weekend,” Lucy sighed.

“Well... I actually do. I enjoyed it. I mean, not the... 'having to fight your parents' part, but, like, outside of that, it was really nice to be here with you. We could go out again sometime... if you want to, that is. Do you..?” Gren asked.

“.... OF COURSE, Silly.” Lucy smiled, returning to her normal self, “I knew you weren’t like everyone else.”

Gren giggled. "So, what are we going to do now? Did the priest recover from the mud blast to finish the ceremony or are Joel and Camille going to just kind of... drop it?”

“I’m an officiant,” Myaxx said, coming out of a plumber ship.

“That probably should surprise me but for some reason, it doesn't.", Gren said with a smirk as he turned to her. "I guess I'm used to you bringing all sorts of secrets and revelations.

With that Myaxx officiated the wedding, much to the Gunthers’ weird looks, as the couple kissed and the wedding turned into a party.

Many years later, Lucy was in a beautiful wedding dress being walked down the aisle. As she walked by Camille and Joel, then her parents who were restrained. As she got up to the front of the venue, she turned to look at her partner whose face was obscured by light. However there was a massive teal hourglass on his arm.
