Highschool Dragon: Harem Legion

At the time when Spike and the guys had been off in Las Pegasus for the Dragon King's bachelor party, Twilight was back at their place inside the fashion studio area where she was being fitted for her wedding gown by Rarity. With her soon to be husband away with the rest of the guys, Twilight took advantage of this opportunity to also have her bachelorette party hosted by Fleur at her mansion as soon as the boys took off.

Twilight stood before Rarity wearing a beautiful wedding gown as the fashion girl was making a few touch ups. Much like Starstreak for Spike, she was making sure her friend and fellow harem mate was looking at her best.

“Rarity, I really love the design you put into this gown.” Twilight said, while marveling at the gown she wore.

“Thank you,Twilight. I dare say this has been my greatest challenge ever,” Rarity said proudly, “I mean I've done dresses for big exclusive parties, for pop stars debuting new shows, along with some for the rich and elite. But this will be my first time debuting a wedding gown of my own design. And you will be the first to have the honor of wearing it!”

“I do consider it an honor. I want to look my best for my wedding and my soon to be husband.” Twilight said with a giddy tone.

“Yes... your soon to be husband.” Rarity agreed with a sigh in her voice.

“Rarity?” Twilight asked noticing her tone.

“Oh, forgive me, Twilight. I was just…it’s just so much to take in. It still surprises me that Spike would just ask you to marry him out of the blue. I was hoping that….oh, it’s nothing. You are his soon to be bride….his soon to be queen. I…we just have to live with that, I suppose.” Rarity explained still sounding dismal.

“Well, yeah. Spike sure caught me off guard when he did,” Twilight admitted with a smile, “I didn’t think it was necessary for us to tie the knot, but as soon as he proposed…I couldn’t say no.”

“He caught us all off guard.” Rarity noted, while remembering how Rainbow, Pinkie, and Fluttershy felt.

Rarity looked at Twilight, seeing how radiant and happy she looked in the wedding gown. While she wanted to be happy for her friend, she couldn’t help but see herself in that very same dress with Spike by her side. As she continued to look, tears started to form in her eyes and eventually, the they ran down her cheeks. Her face then slowly formed into a scowl, which caught Twilight off guard. Rarity started to shake, unable to contain her emotions.

“Rarity?” Twilight spoke, concerned.

“Twilight….,” Rarity began angrily, “I never in my life had ever had the urge to destroy something I had worked hard on….until now.”

Fear crept on Twilight’s spine as she heard those harsh words from her friend, her eyes growing wide. She knew something was up with Rarity when she was fitting her in her gown but her to speak so harshly was something she didn’t expect. Twilight could see jealousy, rage, heartbreak on her friend’s face and practically radiated over her body.

“Rarity…please,” Twilight began softly, “We can talk about this.”

“Talk...the princess of friendship….the bride to my Dragon King….oh, how happy you must feel while I…” Rarity trailed off while trying to choke back some tears.

“Rarity?” Twilight asked, treading lightly.

“It's just not fair!” Rarity bawled as her tears started flowing causing her mascara to run, “I had hoped I would be the one to marry Spike! Even though in the beginning I was a harmless flirt to him, my love for him grew the more I spent with him. Especially when he saved me from my corrupt form! My choices in men in the past have always been one-time relationships because things didn't work out for one reason or another. But then Spike came into my life, I knew I found the one I was destined to be with. All the times we spent together….my love for him grew and grew! I gave my heart, my body….oh how much I gave my body to him and my soul! And for what!? Now seeing him marry you instead of me just feels like my hearts been ripped out! Like everything Spike and I experienced was for not!”

“Oh, Rarity.” Twilight said in sorrow.

“You've always been Spike's queen, and no one else in the harem has ever come close to your status in the harem. Not me, not Fleur, not even Princess Celestia herself!” Rarity continued to bawl.

Listening to Rarity pour her emotions out, Twilight started realizing just how much Spike's proposal to her had greatly affected Rarity if not more of the girls in the harem between Spike and Fleur. She embraced Rarity and comforted her friend, trying to soothe her

“Rarity, I'm sorry. I was so caught up in the proposal that I never thought how this whole thing had affected you or the others,” Twilight apologized, “We're supposed to be a harem, which means there should be no real favoritism.”

“Oh, Twilight, darling, I'm sorry. I didn’t mean to guilt trip you or Spike about your wedding, It’s just that….I was just hoping that….” Rarity sighed, “I don't suppose there's a chance all of us can be his brides as well. Some old Equestrian law that would allow us all to wed Spike.”

Twilight sighed and shook her head, “I'm sorry, Rarity, but there isn’t. This isn’t one of Spike’s comics or light novels where a guy can marry many girls altogether.”

Rarity looked sadder, “I know. I just felt the need to ask.”

“I know this is hard for you and the others, but you must remember that regardless of Spike's choice he still values all us. We’re not just his lovers, Rarity, we are his friends…his family. And just because he picked to marry me doesn't mean he's forgotten about you. He never will.”

Rarity started to smile as she hugged Twilight who hugged her back, though tears continued to run from her eyes.

The princess continued to think about the situation, 'I wonder if Spike is aware of this himself?'

Meanwhile in Equestria, Rainbow was flying like a rocket, still fuming with jealousy over Spike’s proposal to Twilight. She was also angered that the rest of the elements of harmony would not join her in helping her get the marriage called off. In fact, it had angered her so much that she hadn’t been in contact with her friends for days. As the day of the wedding grew near, Rainbow had been thinking who else she could enlist to help her stop wedding and had heard that Dragon Lord Ember had been angered by the news of Spike’s proposal to Twilight. She was on her way to the Dragon Lands to enlist the Dragon Lord’s help.

When the element of Loyalty arrived at the Dragon Lands, she descended towards the cave before noticing two dragon guards.

“State your business, pegasus!!” one of the demanded out of Rainbow.

“Relax, I'm legit.” Rainbow showed her Equestrian I.D supplied by Princess Celestia.

The two guards recognizing her stood down, “Our apologies, Ms. Dash. What brings you here?”

“I need to see Dragon Lord Ember, right away.”

“Very well. Right this way.” one of the guards said, as the two escorted her.

The two escorted Rainbow Dash into a cave after some time, arrived at Ember’s private chambers where Dragon Lord was enjoying a stone bowl of sapphires.

“Dragon Lord Ember?” one of the guards addressed her.

Ember scowled, before looking up from her meal, “What is it? This better be important.”

“You have company, my lord.” the two made space revealing Rainbow to her.

“Rainbow Dash?” Ember wondered.

“Hey, Em. How's it going?” Rainbow began acting casual.

Ember smiled before turning to her guards, “Leave us,” the two left the girls, “So, Rainbow Dash, what brings you all the way to the Dragon Lands? Not that I mind it, but we are seeing each other at Twilight's bachelorette party.”

“We need to talk, Ember,” Rainbow said, cutting to the quick, “But I came to see you to discuss about this whole marriage thing.”

Ember was more curious than before, “What about it?”

“Let's be honest here. You weren't exactly thrilled when you learned Spike proposed to Twilight, were you?” the pegasus mare questioned the dragon lord.

Ember thinking back to when she first heard about the engagement and how she didn't exactly have a positive reaction to it, “Well, I did lose it when word reached me. I never spat so much fire in my life. My old man didn't exactly take it well, either, considering that I had made my intentions known to Spike. You wouldn't believe how hard it was to keep him from flying out to Equestria to go on a rampage.”

“I can imagine.” Rainbow replied seeing Ember and her dad had a worse reaction to the engagement than she did, “But I've come here with a proposition for you.”

“What kind of proposition?” Ember inquired.

“Like you, I’m pissed that Spike would propose to Twilight. Personally, I don’t see why Spike had to do what he did because he’s putting Twilight over all us. So I was hoping you'd help me in convincing the two to call this marriage off.” Rainbow smirked.

“What?” Ember asked in disbelief.

“Yeah. I mean, why should Spike officially marry one of us? Or better yet, why marry any of us at all? We're pretty much considered his wives already so why go through with all this hassle of a wedding? Come on, Em, what do you say?”

Ember couldn't believe what she was hearing. One of Spike's leading harem mates suggesting that they put a stop to the wedding between the Princess of Friendship and the Dragon King. Any negative feelings she had about Spike not proposing to her suddenly left as it suddenly was directed at Rainbow.

“No.” Ember answered plainly.

Ember's answer hit Rainbow hard, as she started to look angry, “What do you mean 'no'?!”

“Are you hard of hearing, pegasus mare!? I am not joining you in this folly! End of discussion!” Ember answered.

Rainbow frowned, “When I heard you were angry, I thought you would have done anything to stop this marriage from happening!!”

“Oh, trust me when I say that I have a thing or two to say to my beloved betrothed about not consulting me on the matter! I wasn't just angry, Rainbow Dash! I was furious! I made my intentions known to that dragon, to you, the harem, and to my entire kingdom and he still proposes to Twilight!? I wanted to rip Spike a new one and teach him what happens when you make light of a Dragon Lord's proposal! This won't go unpunished, I swear!!"

“Then why won't you help stop this from happening!?” Rainbow demanded an answer.

“I am a Dragon Lord and I have my responsibilities to my nation. One of those responsibilities is not starting a war with a foreign nation just because my intended is marrying another. It is not only stupid, but also petty. Another is that Princess Twilight is my friend and she did something that I would have done in a heartbeat. I wish her nothing but happiness. If anything, I'm madder at Spike. Besides, dragons have long lives, even half dragons like him. I can wait.”

Rainbow got angrier, “Well, I can't! I don't want things to change! I want things to be like they were! There doesn't have to be some stupid marriage!”

“You don't really mean that,” Ember warned her, “I can see you’re heartbroken over the matter, but this is what Spike wants! This is what Twilight wants! I’m angry that he didn’t choose me, but I don’t want to rip them apart! What you’re proposing is just petty and disloyal!”

“Shut up! You don't know what you're talking about!” Rainbow ordered while holding back her emotions, “I don’t want to rip them apart! I just think what they’re doing is stupid!”

“I'm warning you, Dash. If you do anything stupid to ruin this wedding, I will make you regret it.” the dragon lord warned her.

“I'd like to see you try and stop me.” Rainbow challenged Ember.

Ember frowned as she stood up, “I will if I mu-“

Rainbow didn’t give Ember a chance to act as she used her super sonic speed to give her sucker punch. Knowing now that the Dragon Lord wasn’t going to help her, Rainbow flew off. It wasn’t long before Ember got up and rubbed her lip, looking angry before flying after her. She flew out of the cave and tried to fly after the pegasus only for the mare to zip out of sight.

“Damn! I'll never catch her now. Luckily I know where she's headed.” Ember squinted.

Later on at Fleur's mansion, Fleur had her staff prep one of the halls for Twilight's bachelorette party. It hadn’t been long since Spike and the boys had left for the Bachelor Party in Las Pegasus and the Guardsmare wanted everything to be perfect. She had invited every mare in her own harem to help in the preparations and even had special entertainment planned.

“Yes, everything looks good, everyone.” Fleur said while supervising her workers.

“Mistress,” Pierre called out Fleur as he entered the hall, “Princess Twilight has arrived ahead schedule. She’s just outside the hall.”

“Show her in.” responded Fleur.

In no time, Pierre had showed Twilight inside the hall. Fleur smiled and walked over to her, seeing that the princess was smiling as well.

“Guardsmare Fleur,” Twilight greeted.

“Twilight, darling. So good to see you!” Fleur greeted as she embraced the princess and pecked her cheeks.

“Thank you. And thanks for hosting my bachelorette party at your mansion.” Twilight thanked her gratefully.

“My pleasure, darling. As you can see we're just about ready. The entertainment still has an hour or so before they get here. Plenty of time for the guests to arrive.” Fleur explained.

Suddenly a portal opened up and coming out of it was Pinkie and Fluttershy.

“Pinkie, Fluttershy! Welcome, girls!” Fleur greeted with open arms, as the two embraced her.

“Hiya, Fleur!” Pinkie smiled.

“We hope we're not too early.” Fluttershy said.

“Not at all. The others should be arriving soon.” Fleur assured them.

“I am surprised you didn't wait up for Sunset, Rarity, Starlight, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash.” Twilight told them in surprise.

“Well, we had to talk to you, Twilight,” Fluttershy began, “Could we have some privacy?”

“Sure,” Twilight said, as the three friends walked outside the hall, “Ok, so what's going on?”

Pinkie sighed and began, “Twilight, we haven't actually been honest about how we really feel about your engagement with Spike.”

Twilight sighed, shocking her, having just dealt with an emotional Rarity confessing her feelings not too long ago, “You two as well?”

“You know?” Fluttershy asked in confusion.

“Rarity had one herself during my dress fitting.”

“And how’d it go?” Pinkie asked.

“I calmed her down and told her no matter what happens, Spike's love for her and everyone else will never change even if I'm officially married to him. And I want you to know that to.”

“Actually, we already do.” Fluttershy confessed.

“What do you mean?” Twilight wondered.

“We talked to Spike about how we kinda got emotional ourselves.” Pinkie explained sheepishly.

“But he talked us down and expressed how sorry he was having not thought about our feelings on the matter, about not being asked and left in the dark.” Fluttershy added.

'So he does know as well.' Twilight thought.

“Even Limestone confronted him about how he picked you to marry over me, but me and the rest of my sisters calmed her down as well as Spike. So she and my sisters accepted he picked you instead of me.” Pinkie explained further.

“I'm sorry, girls. Spike and I were so caught up in the wedding plans that we never thought about how this could affect the rest of you.” Twilight apologized.

“It's not your fault, Twilight,” Fluttershy said in guilt, “We were starting to make it about ourselves and not about how you felt. If anything, we were being selfish.”

“But we're on good terms with Spike now, and just want you to know we accept it.” Pinkie smiled.

Twilight sighed in relief and hugged them, “Thanks, girls. I'm really glad. But what about the rest of the girls?”

“Well, Applejack, Starlight, and Sunset were actually more alright with it.” Pinkie admitted.

“Rainbow, on the other hand...” Fluttershy tried to explain, only for Pierre to enter.

“Pardon me, Princess, but your guests are beginning to arrive.”

“Oh, thank you, Pierre,” Twilight thanked him, “I'll deal with it soon. Come on. Let's go greet everyone.” Twilight followed Pierre, followed by her two friends who were concerned when Rainbow Dash would arrive and how she would behave.

Twilight returned to where Fleur was to see Coco, Prim, Daring Do, Photo Finish, Cherry, Sassy, Lily, and Inky were welcoming the rest of the guests who were arriving. Applejack, Sunset, Starlight, and Rarity were the first to enter followed by Twilight Velvet and Cadence. Maud, Limestone, and Marble followed after. Then came Sapphire Shores, Rara, Lotus and Aloe, Sunshine and Moonlight, Swoon Song, Fond Feather, Dear Darling, Treehugger, Lyra, Bonbon, Vinyl, Octavia, Spitfire, Fleetfoot, Flitter, Cloudchaser, Radiant Hope, Zecora, Catrina, even the Dazzlings who were allowed to attend while having two Canterlot Guards supervising them. Finally entering were Celestia and Luna.

Twilight smiled, as she looked at all of her guests, while noticing that a certain rainbow haired friend of hers wasn’t present. It worried her that she, much like her close friends, may be broken up about Spike’s marriage proposal to her. She was quickly brought out of her thoughts, as Velvet and Cadence approached looking overjoyed to see her.

“Twilight!” Velvet cheered as she hugged her daughter.

“Mom! Cadence! So glad you both could make it.” Twilight said gratefully.

“Well, you didn't think I'd miss my daughter's bachelorette party, did you?” Velvet asked rhetorically.

“And since you were there for mine, it's only natural I'd be here for yours.” Cadence added.

Twilight smiled, as she started greeting the rest of her guests. Once the ladies were all greeted, Fleur announced, “Now we have some time before our entertainment arrives ladies. So, make the most of it and don't go anywhere because what I brought it will rock your world!”

“My kinda pun.” Maud said plainly.

And so, the ladies present took the time to gossip and relax with Twilight talking to her friends, and mentor.

“Girls, have any of you heard from Rainbow Dash lately? She hasn't been home since Spike proposed.” Twilight noted.

The girls were nervous, until Applejack spoke up, “About Rainbow, Twilight. She didn't exactly take the news as well as you think.”

“Like some of you didn't.” Twilight said, as Rarity, Pinkie, and Fluttershy dropped their heads in guilt.

“Yeah, but Rainbow actually tried to...” Sunset was cut off as the doors flung open, and everyone saw Rainbow standing in the door frame looking absolutely livid.

“Rainbow Dash, you….made it.” Twilight said in surprise but her expression turned to worry, seeing how angry Rainbow looked.

“We have to talk. All of us!” Rainbow addressed everyone.

“Rainbow, now is not the time!” Applejack warned her.

“I think it's the right time, Applejack!” Rainbow responded as she walked towards Twilight.

“Damn, Rainbow's giving off some major negative vibes.” Treehugger told Coco, and Cloudchaser who nervously agreed.

Twilight was nervous from the angry look on Rainbow's face but knew why, “Rainbow, I know you're mad and...

“Oh, I’m more than mad, Princess Twilight,” Rainbow spat. Getting in Twilight’s face, “I am pissed like I’m never been pissed before!!”

“Rainbow.” Starlight warned her, but the athletic girl didn't listen.

Rainbow started to address all the ladies present, “Listen up! We all know why we're here. To celebrate the engagement between our dear friend Princess Twilight Sparkle,and Spike Drake the Dragon King, a guy many of us share together in this harem of ours.” The ladies present agreed while Velvet, Cadence, and Catrina looked on in fear.

“But let me ask you, are all of you really happy for this whole engagement thing?” Rainbow questioned the ladies who while some like Fluttershy, Fleur, Rarity, Pinkie, and Limestone were concerned, several of the others were just ignorant of what she was getting at, “Don't you find it odd Spike proposing to one of us while leaving the rest of us out of it? I mean, doesn't being in a harem practically make us his wives!? He never even asked us what we thought about the whole thing!!”

“Rainbow, please.” Flitter began, only for Rainbow to interrupt her.

“I'm not done here! Are all of you just going to stand here and tell me you don't feel at all betrayed in any sense?” While many of the other ladies present were surprised at Spike's proposal to Twilight, they weren't nearly as broken up about it like Rainbow, Fleur, or the others as they made it clear to both Spike and Twilight.

“Rainbow, I get it!” Twilight spoke up, “Yes I know Spike proposing to me alone can look like favoritism to you and many of the others. And yes, I didn’t think what any of you thought about the whole thing and I accepted it. Right there and there. But Rainbow, we all love him. Just because he’s marrying me doesn’t mean he loves you any less.”

“Then why should you be the queen of this harem, huh?!” Rainbow questioned. “You know what!? I get it! You’re the one who saved his life, so you’re the one who gets to be his number one while everyone else is just a fuck buddy! All hail, Queen Twilight!!”

“You’re not being fair, Rainbow!” Twilight argued, “Listen to me! If there was a way….if there was a way for Spike to propose to all us…to marry us all….Rainbow, you have to believe me!! When this is over, I promise you, all of you, that nothing will change! Spike and I love you too much for us to ruin everything we’ve built!”

“Then call it off!!” Rainbow shouted, on the verge of tears, “We don’t need this stupid marriage to happen!!”

“I won’t, Rainbow Dash,” Twilight responded sternly and steadfast, “I won’t go back on my word and I will not betray Spike’s faith in me. Rainbow…I know you’re hurt, how Rarity is hurt and….I believe Spike knows what he’s caused…”

“We’ve talked to him, Rainbow!” Fluttershy added on behalf of herself and Pinkie, “Spike didn’t mean to hurt us!”

“Trust me, he didn’t.” Limestone confirmed.

“I was broken hearted, but I believe he will always love us!” Rarity stated. She the turned her attention to the rest of women in the harem. “Spike is our king and we are his loves! Don’t ever think he will love us even less!”

Rainbow frowned at Rarity, Limestone, Fluttershy, and Pinkie, “How can you all just think that?! If I have to stop this wedding myself, I-!”

Without warning, Rainbow felt a slap across her face. She fell to the floor, wincing in pain as she rubbed her cheek. When she looked up, she saw Fleur, with an expression or anger and sadness adorning her face. Rainbow was in too much shock to respond, not knowing what to say or do as she looked up at the guardsmare.

As for Fleur, she had enough of Rainbow making so many accusations at her friends, bringing down the mood of the bachelorette party, and overall acting like a brat. While she did understand why Rainbow was angry, she knew that the Pegasus was going way over the line and wanted to prevent the altercation from going further.

Calming herself, Fleur spoke to her sternly, “Are you done yet? Because I speak for everyone here when I say that I…we've had enough.”

Rainbow continued to stare at Fleur in disbelief as tears were started to run from her eyes.

“Oh, believe me, I could've done so much worse than slap you with how I'm feeling right now about what you tried to do. You barge into my mansion and stir up all this drama and trying to get everyone here to join your cause of selfishly wanting Twilight to call off her wedding with Spike. And for what? Because you don’t want things to change? Get off your pedestal for once, Rainbow Dash! You’re not the only one who was crushed upon finding out that our king is marrying Twilight!”

Rainbow was about to argue but saw that Fleur was trying to fight back her own tears.

Fleur continued, “Before you and your friends found out….I actually knew about Spike's plan to propose to Twilight….he wanted to keep it a surprise but I found the ring he made for Twilight…..I thought he was going to propose to me….”

Rainbow eyes widened in shock while several of the mares gathered were also shocked.

“Yes. I was hoping Spike was planning to propose to me and I already started laying out plans, until he crushed them when he told me he was giving it to Twilight instead. Even that night I tried to convince him to change his mind and consider his options. I made love to him that night and it was the first time I cried about how unfair it was! No matter how hard I pleasured him, his mind was made up. I was so brokenhearted that I locked myself up in my room for days when I got back, and all I had for comfort was my own harem. But never once did I ever think of trying to rally the harem together to go against Spike's wishes, because that would only make me or any of us come off as selfish and petty. I accepted Spike’s decision no matter how much it hurts. I love him, Rainbow….and what you tried to do…it was selfish and petty.”

Rainbow remembering what Ember told her about why she wouldn't join her in her attempts to get the wedding called off started realizing a pattern if both of them had the same reason. Fleur continued to scold her, “But I know deep down no matter what you said here is not what you really think.”

Rainbow while looking up at Fleur, Twilight, and all the other ladies present started feeling another surge of emotions ready to burst, and suddenly she bawled her eyes out.

“I-I just don’t want anything to change to so much!” Rainbow bawled as she cried waterfalls.

“Rainbow, I told you this wedding will not change the love Spike has for you or anybody in the harem.” Twilight said, as she got down on her knees to face her friend.

“How can you be so sure?!” shouted Rainbow angrily.

“Truthfully, I can't answer how. It's just a feeling. But come on, after all we've been through together with Spike, marrying me is not going to change his love for you or anyone else here.” Twilight assured her.

Rainbow sniffled before crying again, “But he still chose you. You’ll always be his queen….and I’ll just be….”

Twilight pulled Rainbow into a hug letting her cry on her shoulders, “It's ok. Just let it out.”

Everyone watched in relief seeing Rainbow finally calming down, until Ember flew into the mansion looking out of breath but still angry, “Alright, where is she!? Where's Rainbow-” she stopped and saw Twilight hugging a crying Rainbow on the floor, “Did I miss something?”

“Believe me, it's better ya came here after the drama.” Applejack assured her.

Rainbow after calming down spoke to her friend, “Twilight….”

“It’s alright, Rainbow Dash,” Twilight said, before kissing Rainbow's cheek, “And for what it’s worth, I'm sorry for not being more aware of how this could affect you or anybody else.”

Fleur spoke up, “If you want we could cancel the party for another time….”

Twilight answered, “No. I'm not going to let a little drama spoil the mood. What matters now is all my friends are here to enjoy it with me. That is, if you still want to be here, Rainbow Dash.”

Rainbow looked away in shame as she stood, not wanting look at Twilight or anyone else as she walked towards the door.

“I’ll see you at the wedding, Twilight.” Rainbow said, wiping away the tears as she exited the room.

Twilight sighed, sad to see Rainbow go. She then turned to her guests, who all had expectant looks on their faces. Shaking her head, she addressed the guests, “Like I said, I’m not going to let a little drama spoil the mood. Rainbow and I will patch things up. Besides, Rainbow would have wanted to party go on and everyone has worked hard to make my special night to be a great one. So, who’s with me?”

Though the ladies were still concerned over Rainbow Dash, they didn't want to let some drama ruin their day so they announced together answering, “Yeah!”

And so, the party continued. The guests began to converse among themselves as well have a few drinks. In fact, there were a few of the guests getting into a few shots contests in order to have more fun. As for Twilight, she made sure she didn’t have too much to drink as she wouldn’t enjoy the party much of she did were to get wasted.

As Twilight mingled among the guests, she spotted Fleur on the balcony with a drink in hand. She approached her and Fleur turned around with sigh, giving the Princess of friendship a smile.

“Your majesty. Fleur said, raising her drink.

“Guardsmare Fleur,” greeted Twilight, “I have to say that you throw an excellent party.”

“Only the best for the king’s queen.” Fleur said, drinking her drink.

“Queen,” sighed Twilight, “So…you really wanted to be Spike’s queen?”

“When I saw that engagement ring he made….,” Fleur began, before shaking her head, “In the back of my mind, I knew you were Spike’s number one. But I had dreamed from time to time that he and I would be one and our harems would truly be united. The Dragon Harem King and Guardsmare Harem Queen. I guess it was silly of me that I would somehow convince him by pouring my body and soul to him. No matter what I did, it wouldn’t be enough…”

“Hey, c’mon,” Twilight comforted as she wiped a tear that ran down Fleur’s cheek, “You’re Spike’s darling…his cara mia and…just remember that Spike love you, too. He’s always telling what a mare you are. Brave, strong, beautiful and confident. If, anything, out of all the mares who has attached themselves to Spike, you’re the one I feel most jealous over.”

“And yet, you will be Spike’s queen,” Fleur sighed again, “It says a lot what Spike thinks of you. You’re the one who saved his life so he will always feel indebted to you.”

“Just so you know, Fleur de Lis, that Spike won’t love you any less.” Twilight affirmed.

Fleur smirked at this and grabbed Twilight by the shoulders and kissed her full on the lips. Twilight found herself melting and, in an instant, the kiss was over. Twilight was dazed and shook her head.

“And I’m going to make sure Spike loves me as equally as you.” purred Fleur

It was here that Pierre made his presence known and spoke to Fleur, “Madame, the entertainment has just arrived.

“Excellent, Pierre, show them in,” Fleur began, before speaking to Twilight, “You're going to love these ones, Twilight. They make getting an education fun.” she raised her brows a few times.

“Oh boy.” Twilight blushed at Fleur's choice of words.

As soon as Twilight and Fleur entered the hall, the doors opened, and stepping in were several stallions of all three pony types dressed as school teachers of several types of courses, principal, and even janitor. The guests were confused at Fleur's choice in entertainment, as a unicorn dressed as a principal spoke.

“Which one is Princess Twilight Sparkle?”

Twilight approached the stallion, “That would be me.”

The principal the spoke authoritatively , “My dear, I'm going to have to shut this party down, and make it more educational.”

Some of the guests started groaning feeling this was going to spoil their fun. But when one of the teacher figures placed a boombox down, the principal continued, “Educational... And...” the teacher turned the boombox on that started to play dance music, “Wild!” the principal began as he ripped off his shirt revealing his pecs taking Twilight and everyone by surprise.

The other performers dressed as teachers and such threw off their own shirts revealing their bare and well-toned torsos.

“We're gonna give you ladies an education you'll never forget.” an earth pony stallion began.

A pegasus stallion who was brandishing a long ruler continued, “Step out of line with us however, and we may be forced to punish you.” he held the ruler.

A unicorn dressed as a janitor spoke, “And don't worry about making a mess. I'll clean it up good.”

The ladies started getting excited from the entertainment, as Twilight spoke to Sunset and Starlight, “I'm starting to see how Spike feels when surrounded by us so much.”

“Oh, yeah.” Starlight agreed.

The Principal spoke, “Alright, faculty. Let's put on a show.”

And so, the performers began dancing for the ladies who were hollering and begging for more. The teacher performer with the ruler tugged off his pants to reveal he was wearing a gold-colored speedo showing off his buns of steel. As he danced with his visible buns aiming at Prim, Sassy, and Fleur, he used his own ruler to smack himself on said buns of steel.

“Oh, that's so hot.” Prim panted, while fanning herself.

The performer dressed as a janitor using a bucket of soapy water and a mop dipped it into the water and lathered it on his pecs. Applejack watched as the sudsy water dripped off his chest and blushed.

“Wow, Rainbow's sure missing out here.” she said to the girls.

Two more performers dressed as teachers were dancing close to Velvet and Cadence who were being poured refills of their drinks.

“Wow. Reminds me of my own bachelorette party.” Cadence told her mother-in-law.

“Same with mine,” Velvet agreed, and thought, 'This feels just like one of my erotic novels. A failing college student getting makeup work from her hot studly professor.' she blushed as she reveled in being so close to said scenario.

An earth stallion dancer dressed as a hot gym instructor was moving around two basket balls while rubbing them together in front of Daring, Flitter, and Cloudchaser.

“The way he's rubbing those balls makes me feel so hot.” Daring panted.

“Us too.” the pegasus sisters agreed.

As Twilight sat with the performer dressed as a principal danced around her erotically, the princess made sure to enjoy it, but not too much.

“Enjoying the service, your majesty?” the performer inquired.

“Very much, thank you,” Twilight admitted while she sweated. ‘Think of Spike, think of Spike!’

“Good. After all we made sure to bring our A game since we're performing for royalty.” he said while also motioning to some of the performers who were dancing close to Celestia and Luna who were enjoying the show.

“Well, your performance is very satisfying.” Twilight assured.

“From you that means so much.” the performer continued to dance for Twilight.

The performers continued to put on a show for the ladies as another stripper, dressed as a gym coach, was doing some soccer moves using not just his knees, feet, and head, but his butt as well. When he did this, Fleetfoot, Swoon Song, Fond Feather, and Dear Darling watched while blushing at how his buns of steel bounced the soccer ball up before coming back down only to get bounced up again the same way.

“That's using his ass.” Fond panted.

“I'll say.” Fleetfoot agreed, not taking her eyes off the stripper’s butt.

Another dancer performed in front of Fleur, Fluttershy, and Ember, before speaking, “Here's a little lesson in foreign language, my dears.”

The stripper began to speak in another language, which Fluttershy and Ember couldn't understand, but Fleur was blushing with every word the dancer said.

When he finished, Fleur spoke sounding turned on, “Oh, you naughty boy.”

“What?” Ember asked her.

“What did he say?” Fluttershy inquired.

Fleur smirked before whispering the translation of the dancer’s words to them. This made their eyes widen and blush furiously.

“Oh, my.” Fluttershy gasped.

“Maybe I should start learning other tongues.” Ember told herself, as Fleur giggled.

As the party continued, Twilight decided to get some air and stepped out onto the mansion's balcony. Though she was having a good time, her mind kept wandering back to Rainbow's breakdown, as well as wondering about Rarity, Fleur, Fluttershy, Pinkie, and who knows how many others in the harem who were heartbroken at Spike's proposal to her. She sighed, placing her hands on the rails.

Twilight the heard footsteps behind her. She looked back and saw Velvet, Cadence, Celestia, and Luna, with looks of worry.

“Twilight?” Velvet asked in concern.

“Oh, hi, everyone.” Twilight greeted with a forced smile.

“What're you doing out here?” Cadence inquired.

“Just needed some air is all.” Twilight answered while trying to keep her true reason hidden.

“Yes, it is getting rather exciting in there.” Luna admitted, while motioning to the fun still going on with the dancers performing for the ladies.

“Yeah.” Twilight agreed with a nervous chuckle.

Celestia squinted at Twilight and spoke, “Twilight, you didn't come out here just for air, did you?”

Twilight, seeing her mentor already onto her, knew she couldn't hide it from her and neither from her mother and sister-in-law.

“No.” groaned Twilight.

“You're still thinking about Rainbow Dash and the others.” Celestia guessed.

“I am,” Twilight admitted sadly, “Even if it was sorted out, I just wish Rainbow Dash didn't leave. She deserves to be here.”

“She needed to be alone with herself and reflect on her own behavior,” Luna noted, “That was quite a spectacle she put on and from what I saw, she really regrets what she said to you.”

“It wasn't easy for her any more than it was for the rest of your friends.” Cadence added.

“I know. I just wish I could've seen this coming. I could've helped them realize no matter who Spike chose to marry doesn't mean he loves everyone else less than that.”

“We can't always predict these things, Twilight,” Celestia noted, “All we can do is accept and move forward no matter what.”

“You're right. And I'm just glad Spike is aware of this as well and expressed his own apologies. But he'll also have to confront Ember and Rainbow about how they feel about it,” Twilight said with a sigh, as Velvet and Cadence hugged her comfortingly, “But how do you feel about this Princesses? About Spike’s proposal to me?”

“While we were surprised at Spike's sudden proposal, we were still overjoyed and happy for the both of you,” Celestia began, “Besides…though we love him body and soul….had he proposed to us, we would have said no.”

“That is not to say we both felt a bit jealous, but then we remember we are the great monarchs of Equestria. Us having an official engagement to the Dragon King would prove to be even more of a hassle than any would know. We love him dearly, but a marriage between either I or my sister….” Luna continued.

“Still, we are content being in the harem without officially marrying Spike.” Celestia finished.

“After all, you and your friends deserve him more than we do.” Luna concluded as well.

“If anybody deserves love, it's you two.” Twilight pointed out.

“You’re too kind, Princess Twilight.” Celestia complimented with a smile.

“Though we do look forward to having some quality time with the Dragon King soon.” Luna said with a smirk.

And with that, the royal monarchs started walking back for the party. The two looked back at Twilight being comforted by Velvet and Cadence. Then they looked at each other and sighed.

Luna asked Celestia, “Is there nothing we can do, sister?”

“I wish there were, Luna,” Celestia answered, “Once upon a time, before our reign, there was a law where either a mare or a stallion of royal blood could marry as many times as they wanted. It created more problems than it solved and we had it abolished. But know this, Luna. Spike and Twilight will find a way to make things right.”

Luna nodded in agreement.

Sometime later back at Spike’s place, Twilight had returned, emotionally drained. While she did get back to party, she still had the drama of what happened nagging at her. Rainbow had let all of her emotions out and left, guilt ridden about she had tried to do. She hoped that by the time the wedding rolled around, things would get solved. For now, as she walked towards the master bedroom, she just wanted to be with Spike. When she opened the door, she saw that Spike was sitting on the edge of the bed. She smiled when he looked up at her.

“Spike!” Twilight said, excited as she dashed towards Spike.

“Twilight!” Spike said as he rose to meet Twilight.

The two happily embraced tightly. Though they had enjoyed their respective parties with friends, both were just happy be in each others arms. They kissed briefly before letting each other and sighed.

“So…how was your bachelor party?” asked Twilight.

“Exciting,” Spike answered, “The boys and I really enjoyed the show.”

Twilight squinted, “Speaking of which, you didn’t entice any of those strippers to join the harem, did you?”

“No! Not at all. You can even ask Bahamut.” Spike motioned to his medallion.

“He didn't,” Bahamut answered, “Though he did wake up with three strippers after the after party. Don’t worry, Princess. No consummation was to be had. Though, I’m not sure about the others…”

“Good,” Twilight said in relief, “Wait, what about the others?”

“Anyway, about the strippers.” Spike started hopefully.

“After the honeymoon, darling,” sighed Twilight, “As for my party, it was great as well. Fleur got some good entertainment to perform.”

Spike got nervous, “Were they better looking than me?”

Twilight smiled as she chuckled, “Spike, you’re worrying over nothing. Chiseled as they were, they don’t even come close. Still, it was a bit of a turn on that they dressed themselves up as school faculty.”

Spike sighed in relief. As much as she trusted his future bride, he did worry about Twilight being surrounded by musclebound stallions, even if it was for entertainment.

Twilight let of another sigh, looking worried, “But I will say we did have some drama there.”

Spike looked to her, “What drama?”

“Well, when the guests arrived, Rainbow arrived second to last and wasn't exactly in a good mood,” Twilight explained, “She wasn’t exactly on board with us getting married.”

“Oh, no.” Spike said, sitting on the bed with a feeling of dread.

“You should have seen her, Spike. She tried to get the others to join her in convincing me to call it off. She was hysterical about losing you until Fleur literally slapped some sense into her. I talked her down, but she broke down emotionally. Despite all of this, I still wanted Rainbow at the party, but she just left saying she'd see us at the wedding.” Twilight explained, looking down.

Spike himself started to sniffle, which caught her attention. She knew that her groom was trying to hold his emotions back. She sat down next to him and placed her hands on his.

“Spike... What's wrong?” asked Twilight.

“I screwed up, Twilight. I just thought everyone would be happy about us being married, but....I just didn't think they felt that strongly about the whole thing.” Spike answered sadly.

Twilight knew Spike shouldn't take all the blame and said, “Me neither. I was just so happy about taking that next step with you that I didn't think about what the others thought about it.”

“Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Ember....” Spike listed off.

“Rarity, Fleur, Rainbow...by Celestia, Rainbow Dash...” Twilight listed as well, shaking her head.

“I was such an idiot.” the young man put himself down.

“So... what now?” Twilight asked wondering how her lover would take all this.

Spike turned to Twilight. Though he was sad, there was a look of determination that wouldn’t let him hold back, “Nothing changes, Twilight. Not the wedding plans, not our relationship or my relationship to my harem...my family. I'll...find a way to make them all happy. After all this drama, they deserve happiness.” he promised with determination mixed with guilt.

“Spike, listen,” Twilight began as she held Spike’s hand tightly, “You've already made me...made us so happy. We've been on many adventures together and we've grown closer. But...if you feel that you need to unite with them officially...then I'll help you find a way.”

Spike smiled placed his head between Twilight’s boobs, “You're gonna be such an amazing wife.”

Twilight smiled with tears of happiness in her eyes, “And you'll make a great husband, my king.”

And so the two stayed close together for the night.

Meanwhile at Rainbow's parents’ house, the athletic girl who had been staying there for some time now following the proposal was in her old bedroom curled up on her bed, hugging her legs and burying her face in her knees sobbing.

Rainbow lifted her face up with her cheeks red from all her crying. She had almost ruined what was supposed to be Twilight’s friends bringing up all the drama because of her petty selfishness and was questioning herself if she truly was worthy to be Twilight’s friend over even Spike’s lover. It ached at her heart and the guilt wasn’t going away.

“What have I done?” Rainbow sobbed. “I tried to ruin everything and…oh, what am I going to do?”
