In this story, Loose has been mated to Sparky and has fathered 4 goslings. King occasionaly would sneak off to bed with Athena, while his mate Comet sat on her nest.

"I am so looking forward to this wedding," I think. I don't have enough time to think anymore, because Meesa dashes in my room, holding a papered bundle of something-or-other.
"Get up, Athena," Meesa snaps," Loose is waiting for you, and the wedding begins in half an hour."
I stand up, groaning, because I have a feeling I know what is in that bundle. Sure enough, it contains a wedding dress. The state of the dress knocks me senseless. The chest part has mud caked on it, and the holes where a bird's wings stick out are way too big. The dress once was a black, red, green and blue thing, which would have been bad enough, but the colors clash with my dark brown feathers.
"I know this dress isn't very pretty, but it's the only thing Comet would lend me." Meesa is saying.
"Comet wore that dress??!!!!!" I screech.
"Yes. Now, I'm going to put it on you."
For the next half an hour Meesa puts the dress on me, pulling out at least a dozen feathers as she goes.
Finally, I am ready to go out and get married.
"Now Athena," Meesa says, pulling on a white and black dress," Remember to say 'I will always be married to Loose, in sickness and in honk' and you'll be fine."
"Yes Meesa."
As I walk out into the marrying place, I hear music. BOOM BAM BAMETY BAM. BAM BAM BAM BOOMETY. BOOM BOOM BOOMETY BOOM BAM BAM BAMETY. Not a pretty sound.
As I see who is going to be marrying us, I almost have a heart attack.
Queen is holding the book 'A Honk to Love', has plastered a purple suit on himself, and he has also taped an enornmous black mustache to his beak.
"We now gather in this sacred place to witness the marriage of Loose De Honkardi and Athena La Corncob." Queen begins." Loose, do you promise to marry Athena and care for her in sickness and in honk?"
"Yeah."
I catch sight of King and Sparky looking ready pounce at Loose...
"Athena, do you wanna marry Loose? Hurry up, I gotta go to the bathroom."
"I w-will always be maried to Loose, in s-s-s-s-sickness and in ho-"
King and Sparky suddenly jump out at Loose, clobbering him with great blows of their wings.
I take one look at Loose, and then start to cry.
