Franklin, his glossy surface trembling, gazes longingly at Isabel, whose polished curves gleam in the faint light. Their hands brush, and both feel the warmth of their secret love, knowing their parents would never approve. "Why can't they see that you complete me?" "They’re stuck in tradition, Franklin. Dishes and forks, spoons and bowls—what a lonely way to live," Franklin whispers, fear and hope mingling in his voice.
Mr. Dish, Franklin’s father, sits rigid, while Mrs. Spoon, Isabel’s mother, shakes her head, her reflection wavering in a teacup. "A dish belongs with a fork, Franklin. This is how it’s always been," he says sternly. "Isabel, darling, spoons are meant for bowls. You must understand," she pleads, her voice tinged with sorrow. "But what if we’re meant for each other?" Isabel protests, her voice trembling with resolve.
Franklin leads the way, his heart pounding as he glances back at their old lives. Isabel squeezes his hand, her laughter echoing softly in the night. "Las Vegas is waiting for us, Franklin. A place where no one cares who we love," she says, hope gleaming in her eyes. They disappear into the darkness, ready to embrace a future of their own making.
Franklin is dazzled by the city’s energy, while Isabel marvels at how no one bats an eye at their unusual pairing. They find a chapel with velvet curtains, golden candlesticks, and a sign that reads “All Love Welcome.” "Here, we’re free, Isabel. No more rules," Franklin says, his voice brimming with happiness.
Cat with the Fiddle adjusts his bowtie, preparing to play the wedding march, while Cow Who Jumped Over the Moon gently straightens Isabel’s veil. "To love that defies tradition!" he proclaims, striking a playful chord. "May your hearts soar higher than the moon itself," she adds, her voice tender. Franklin and Isabel exchange vows, their happiness radiant.
Franklin gazes at Isabel, their hands entwined as they savor the sweet taste of freedom. "We made our own story, Franklin. And it’s beautiful," Isabel whispers, her eyes shining. Together, they know their love will flourish, no matter what anyone else believes.
