Highschool Dragon: Harem Legion

In Canterlot, the sun was starting to rise over the land, its bright glow washing over the kingdom. It was the day that many in Equestria had been were waiting for: the day Spike the Dragon King and Princess Twilight were to wed. Because of this, Spike, Twilight, and several of the girls had stayed the night over at the castle so they'd be ready for the ceremony the next day. In one room Twilight slept peacefully, until the sun's light shined on her, waking her up. She woke up and saw she was alone in the bed, without her lover Spike occupying the side opposite of her. She then noticed a plate with a breakfast eggwich and croissant next to a cup of coffee along with a note next to it.

Twilight looked at the note that read, 'Bad luck for Groom to see Bride on Wedding Day!'

Twilight smiled at the breakfast he left, feeling he knew her so well.

Later on, everyone was on the guest list from Equestria or the human world were arriving at the castle and being escorted by the guards to where the ceremony was to be held and to take their seats. Along with the Equestrian Royal Guards, there was also the Crystal Imperial Guard helping out and S.M.I.L.E agents at various locations throughout the castle. There were also dragons doing their own reconnaissance above the city, keeping a lookout for any intruders. Everyone was on high alert so everything would go off without a hitch.

Meanwhile, inside the war room located deep within the castle, was Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Shining Armor, Fleur de Lis, Ember, and Bonbon aka Agent Sweetie Drops. They were observing a holographic map, making sure that every security measure was in place.

“Alright, everyone,” Celestia addressed, “Now while today may be Spike and Twilight's wedding, we must still be cautious about security.”

Luna nodded, “Although the Legion of Doom is no more, and we have not had any new threats arise since Tirek, that doesn't mean we shouldn't be diligent. This is a high profile event and must make sure nothing goes wrong.”

“No sweat. If anyone dares cause trouble around, my dragon guard will give them a reason not to.” Ember smirked.

“Hopefully it won't come to that,” Cadence told Ember hoping only for good things, “This is supposed to be a happy occasion and all of Equestria should enjoy it without any worries.”

“Even if it doesn't, I can assure you all that I picked the best of the imperial guard for security at my sister’s wedding,” Shining Armor assured all in the room, “I should know. I trained them myself.”

“Quite confident, aren't you Shining Armor?” Fleur noted, “While I won't deny your effective training techniques, I should inform you, my troops are just as qualified.”

“It's true. I did a background check myself.” Sweetie Drops confirmed.

“Are you implying that your troops are better than mine?” Shining Armor asked squinting.

“I never said that, but if you want to put it to the test perhaps we should have a little game between our squads,” Fleur began a she sashayed closer to the captain, “And should I win, I wonder just what kind of reward I should ask of you? Maybe a moment of your time perhaps? I’d think an hour would convince you to perhaps…join my harem? I’m sure Princess Cadence wouldn’t mind.”

Fleur raised her brows as Shining Armor looked a bit red in the face, speechless.

Cadence frowned as she separated the two, and spoke to Fleur, “That's quite enough, Fleur. We don't need anything like this happening on the day of my sister-in-law's wedding. And stop trying to entice my Shining. He’s a one mare stallion.”

“Ooh, sounds like someone's a little possessive here,” Fleur giggled, “Don't you worry, Princess Cadence. As delectable as Shining Armor is, I would never go after him... teasing him is a different matter though.”

Cadence squinted, “You truly have no shame.”

Fleur smiled slyly, “I wouldn’t be the mare I am if I wasn’t.”

In another room was Spike who was fixing his tie while looking over his tuxedo, making sure that everything was in place. Though he tried not to show it, he was actually feeling nervous. Even with Stone Edge, whom he had chosen to be his best man, helping him prepare, he still felt like this was all a dream. Spike still couldn’t believe this was actually happening as many thoughts ran through his head.

“Oh, Stone, I can't believe this is happening,” Spike said as he was adjusting his tie, “I'm getting married. I'm actually getting married! I’m marrying a princess!”

“Yes, I know. Everyone here does.” Stone reminded him while keeping him still.

“I guess this is what they call wedding jitters. I wonder if this is how my dad felt when he married mom?” Spike asked himself.

“As long as you don't get cold feet you'll be fine.” Bahamut spoke up.

“Bahamut's right, Spike,” Stone agreed, “I mean look at all you've done before. You fought monsters and villains from this land and suddenly you're losing your nerve at your wedding?”

“Fighting the Legion was nothing compared to this,” Spike replied, “This is marriage. Marriage!”

“Trust us, you'll be alright,” Stone assured him, “You've come so far since you started out as a dragon hero. Now you're more than ready to take the next step in life. You've proven you can handle anything.”

Spike smiled, “Thanks. I wonder if Twilight's dealing with this better than I am?”

“Knowing her, she's probably all prepared.” Bahamut answered.

In another dressing room, Twilight was pacing around nervously, while Rarity was following her trying to make some final preparations to her gown. Much like Spike, the Princess of Friendship felt nervous. So many thoughts were running through her head that she barely noticed her close friends, who were dressed in their maid of honor dresses and looking on just as nervously.

“Twilight, darling, will you stop moving around?!” Rarity asked, as she tried to work.

“I'm sorry, Rarity, but I just can't help it,” Twilight said in a panic, “I'm about to get married to Spike. The Dragon King. The guy I've known since the day I brought him into our ranks. I love him, but does he truly love me! Do I truly love him? Am I ready? I thought I was, but now I'm not sure if I'm a hundred percent ready!”

Sunset gripped her shoulders, “I know you're nervous, but remember this is supposed to be a happy day.”

“The happiest!” Pinkie bounced happily.

“I know, but I just wonder if I should be prepared more?” asked Twilight nervously.

“Twilight, this isn't like studying for a test or final exam,” Starlight reminded her, “This is just something you jump right into. But we know you're ready for it.”

“Ya darn right she is.” Applejack agreed.

“Oh, thanks, girls,” Twilight sighed, calming down, “I…I really appreciate you all being here to give me comfort on a day such as this.”

Fluttershy looked around seeing they were shy one friend, “Well, except Rainbow Dash. She's currently at the Wonderbolt Academy with the others. They have been tasked with performing a finishing stunt at the ceremony.”

The girls nodded while wondering if Rainbow was still up for it given her recent behavior.

Meanwhile at the Wonderbolt Academy, Spitfire who was all dressed up paced around Soarin, Fleetfoot, Rainbow, and the rest of the pegasi. She gave her squad a final once over as they stood in attention. Though she felt pride in her squad, she had a feeling that one particular squad member didn’t seem up for it. Given that she saw what Rainbow tried to do firsthand, Spitfire had to be extra careful that nothing went wrong.

“Alright, listen up!” Spitfire called her squad to attention, “I'm only gonna say this once. We've been selected to perform an aerial stunt to honor the newlyweds Spike Drake the Dragon King and Princess Twilight Sparkle. An honor we should all be proud of.”

“Yes, ma’am!” the Wonderbolts agreed with enthusiasm, while Rainbow Dash looked like she wasn't in full spirit.

“As Wonderbolts, you should behave like Wonderbolts,” Spitfire continued, though she eyed Rainbow in particular, “With honor and dignity! We are the pride of Equestria’s air force! The elite, the best of the best! Do any of you understand our duty!?”

“Ma’am, yes ma’am!” the Wonderbolts saluted.

“Now then….assume positions!”

The Wonderbolts got into take off positions, and started readying their wings.

“Wonderbolts…open those wings, take off, and rise up!” Spitfire announced, as they flew off for Canterlot Castle.

A little later, Stone, with Octavia by his side, walked over to where Twilight and girls were getting ready. It didn’t take long for the two to arrive when Octavia opened the door, with Stone peeking into the room and waving a greeting to the Twilight and her friends.

“Oh, hi.” Stone greeted

“Hi, Stone, hi Octavia” the girls greeted.

Stone looked around and joked, “You might call this the starlet's dressing room.”

“Good one.” Pinkie chuckled.

“So, Stone, how's my groom?” Twilight inquired.

“The guy's stoked,” Stone answered, “In fact that's why he sent me to see how you're doing.”

“Well, I had some butterflies in me, but they're gone now.” Twilight confessed.

“He'll be glad to know. Octavia, you and girls keep an eye on her.”

“Will do.” Octavia nodded, as Stone left.

Not much later, Stone returned to Spike, who was just outside his dressing room, adjusting his tie.

“So, how is she? Is she having second thoughts?” the dragon hero asked in worry.

“Don't worry, she's just fine. Now come on let's get you to the altar before you get an impulse to run away.” Stone suggested, as he led Spike on.

Not much later, Celestia stood at the altar with Spike and Stone, while the guests were all seated on both sides with the exception of Ember's father Torch peeking through a window since he cannot fit inside the castle itself. Off to the side were Twilight's friends, Luna, Cadence, Shining Armor, and the Wonderbolts. The girls looked to Rainbow Dash who was putting on a brave face for the sake of both Spike and Twilight.

As Fluttershy began to conduct a chorus of birds to play the wedding march, the doors opened, and three flower fillies walked down the aisle dropping flower petals, as Twilight walked arm in arm with Night Light. Spike smiled as he watched his queen approach, while the girls smiled happily. Velvet watched from her seat smiling while wiping some tears from her eyes as Flurry Heart sat with her looking in awe at her aunt.

As Night Light and Twilight reached the altar, Spike shook hands with the father, “Thank you for being here, sir.”

“Please, Spike. It's dad now.” Night Light reminded him.

“Right. Dad.” Spike smiled.

“Thank you, daddy.” Twilight kissed Night Light's cheek before being handed off to Spike.

The two stepped up to the altar before Celestia, as Fluttershy motioned the birds to cease their singing.

Celestia began to address everyone, “Dearly beloved, we're gathered here today to join in marriage Spike Drake the Dragon King, and Princess Twilight Sparkle. If there are any who do not think these two should be wedded, speak now or forever hold their peace.”

‘Screw it!’ Rainbow thought tearfully.

Rainbow was about to object out of impulse, but Spitfire and Fleetfoot put a hand on each on her shoulders, glaring at her making her back off. She then looked onto Spike and Twilight, blissfully unaware of what she was going to do and felt guilty. She bowed her head in shame, her tears started to run down her cheeks.

All the while Torch looked ready to voice an objection but spotted Ember glaring at him with a shake of her head, causing him to drop it as well.

Celestia continued, “As Princess, I've seen many ponies in my life. I've known so many since they were so young, and how far they grown. But none have been so close to me than Twilight Sparkle. Ever since I took her under my wing I knew she was indeed a special mare. I didn’t just see her as just my student, but also a friend. While book smart and talented in magic, she lacked a certain something that one cannot learn from books. How to bond with others. To my relief she made several friends when I sent her to live in the human world. But I never would've imagined one of those friends would turn out to be the one she'd want to spend the rest of her days with.” She turned to Spike with a smile who blushed along with Twilight.

“And Spike Drake, a human boy granted the power of the dragon king, Bahamut. He exceeded all my expectations with every battle and obstacle he faced alongside my pupil and the elements of harmony, from bringing my sister back to me,” Celestia motioned to Luna who smiled, “Helping to change so many others for the better,” The Dazzlings, Trixie, Flash, Catrina, Rep, and Sombra smiled, “To even uniting our kind with others.” Ember and Torch smiled and nodded.

“And now the bride and groom will recite their vows.” Celestia said motioning to Spike to go first.

Spike nodded while fighting off his nerves and cleared his throat, “Twilight, before I met you, I was just a simple highschooler wanting to find his place in the world and find a special someone. And though that second part led me to what could've been my untimely demise...”

Trixie shrunk back in her seat knowing she was responsible for that, only for Flash to lay a hand on her to calm her.

Spike continued, “That also drew my attention of you. You gave me new life, a real purpose, and love. Since I became part dragon, I've done things many could only dream of. I met so many other ponies and others in this magical land and learned about so much. At first, I thought I was just crushing on you because of your beauty, but the more time I spent with you, the more I realized I wanted to be with you. And when you agreed to be my girlfriend, I was so overjoyed, but then when you realized my dragon passion would overtake me you agreed to let me start a harem with you, your friends, and so many other ladies both here and my world. And I want to keep protecting Equestria and my world with you at my side not just the way we've been when I joined, but now as husband and wife.”

Twilight smiled with tears of joy. She could tell that Spike, for all his faults, was being sincere.

In the crowd, so many of the guests were smiling and some shedding tears. Limestone, who was sitting with her sisters and shedding a tear, spotted Garble wiping his eye and whispered, “Are you crying?”

Garble wiped his eye, “No! Are you?”

“No!” Limestone denied, as she looked away.

Discord peeked over, “Don't hide it. We're all feeling it.”

Celestia motioned to her pupil, “Twilight.”

Twilight nodded, and spoke, “Spike, it is as Princess Celestia said. Back then I wasn't interested in making friends or relationships. All I had were my books and studies. But when she sent me to your world to learn about friendship, I made the greatest friends I ever could've hoped for,” she glanced at the rest of the elements of harmony who smiled, and even at Rainbow Dash, who through her tears, was trying to smile, “And that day when I saw you there was something in you, potential. That's why I brought you back reincarnated as the vessel for the dragon king. I promised I'd take care of you and show you how to defend yourself against other threats. And yet the more time I spent with you, the more I started seeing my friendship with you was different from the ones I had with the others. I realized I have fallen in love with you. Luckily, I went to Cadence in my spare time to learn about how to handle love in a romantic way and not just a friendship way.”

Cadence smiled and nodded, feeling a bit of pride.

Twilight continued, “And while I was put off about your desire to start a harem, I knew your dragon passion, if left unchecked, would be problematic. But I'm glad you let me have a say in who gets to be in the harem and who doesn't. It was the only way to continue to help keep your perverted behavior in check.”

“Twilight!” Spike groaned, as the guests chuckled.

“But in all seriousness, my love for you has not changed no matter how many women you've added to the harem. And it will continue to grow over time as it has done following our first meeting.” Spike smiled happily.

Celestia motioned to Stone, “The rings.”

Stone nodded, as he presented the bride and groom with their wedding rings. Spike took one of the rings and slipped it on Twilight's finger, while Twilight took the other one and slipped it onto Spike's finger.

Celestia spoke to Spike, “Do you, Spike, take Princess Twilight to be your lawfully wedded wife to have and to hold till the end of time? In good times and bad, in sickness and in health?”

Spike nodded, “I do.”

Celestia turned to Twilight, “And do you, Princess Twilight take Spike to be your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold for the rest of your days. In good times and bad?”

Twilight nodded, “I do, Princess. With all my heart.”

Celestia smiled, “Then by the powers vested in me by the land of Equestria I hereby pronounce you Husband and Wife. You may kiss the bride.”

Spike and Twilight smiled before going in for a kiss. Upon doing so the guests cheered and applauded, as Spitfire turned to the Wonderbolts, signaling it was their cue. They nodded, and flew out of the balcony and around the sky above them. The guests and the newlyweds watched, as the pegasi were performing an aerial stunt leaving behind colored trails.

As Rainbow flew, she felt like she was slowing down as the negative emotions were holding her back, until she remembered she didn't want to ruin the wedding anymore. Looking down directly at Spike and Twilight, she saw how happy they were. Wiping away the remains of her tears, she focused on the task at hand.

'Alright…one sonic rainboom coming up! Hope this makes up for everything!’ Rainbow thought she picked up the pace before flying ahead of the Wonderbolts before coming back down faster than light resulting in her releasing a sonic rainboom that brightened the sky.

The guests cheered and applauded for the performance, as Spike and Twilight smiled seeing Rainbow Dash give a perfect finish. Then the two ran down the aisle as confetti and streamers were launched.

Later in the evening, everyone had gathered in the ballroom, all seated and enjoying the wedding feast. Spike and Twilight sat with her friends at the main table, looking at the guests enjoying themselves while drinking and eating a piece of the wedding cake. They were glad that despite all the drama from the past few days, the wedding went off without a hitch. No one dared invade or make a nuisance out if the event. The newlyweds smiled, glad for the peace.

Still, Spike knew there was something he had to do. He looked at the girls seated at the table and had to clear things with them. He cleared his throat, getting the girls’ attention.

“Girls, I wanna thank you all for attending our wedding. I know you're probably tired of hearing this, but I have to tell you how sorry I am. I assumed too much about you all being ok with me proposing to Twilight, when I still should've talked to you all first.”

Applejack was the first to respond, “Yeah well…ya really should've said something before popping the question, but it doesn't matter now. You and Twilight are husband and wife, and nothing can change that. Not even a harem of jealous gals. Ya have my blessin’, love birds.”

“That's a relief,” Spike sighed, “I’m just glad that we can move past this.”

Applejack the added, “Well, just so you know, I probably would've said yes in a heartbeat had you proposed to me.”

“So would I,” Pinkie answered, before whispering, “Same goes for my sisters.”

“Admittingly I would've said yes without hesitation.” Rarity confessed.

“I would've too.” Fluttershy put in.

Spike turned to the others, “What about the rest of you?”

Sunset answered, “I would've said no, honestly. Still I'd be more than flattered if you had asked me.”

“I would have said no, as well,” Starlight answered, “Since we're already in a harem, marriage seems pointless. As long as you love each other, it doesn’t matter if we’re married or not.”

“That goes for me, too,” Rainbow confirmed her feelings on the matter hadn't changed. “Still, I shouldn’t have lost my head over the whole thing.”

“I’m really sorry…all of you,” Spike said.

“Spike…. Twilight…I am so sorry for my behavior in these last weeks,” Rainbow continued, trying to hold back the tears, “I tried to rally everyone to go against your marriage, and I ended up making a fool of myself at Twilight's bachelorette party and said things I didn't mean. I was almost ready to voice objection at the ceremony had it not been for Spitfire and Fleetfoot. I'm surprised you still wanted me here at the wedding.”

Spike smiled, “Because you're one of us, Rainbow Dash. We know deep down despite what you said, you'd never want to hurt any of us.”

“It wouldn't have been a complete wedding without you.” Twilight added.

“Oh, guys,” Rainbow sighed in relief.

“And knowing ya regret your actions proves you've learned your lesson.” Applejack put in.

“Oh, I sure did. I was already dealing with a threat of demotion from Spitfire, and that's being kind compared to being kicked out of the Wonderbolts all together.”

“That is letting it off easy.” Applejack confirmed.

“But now I wanna move past all this drama and support you both,” Rainbow continued, “You have my blessing for this marriage.”

“And ours.” Rarity said, as the rest of the girls nodded.

“Thanks, girls.” Twilight smiled.

“We love you all.” Spike smiled as well.

“And we do to you guys too!” Pinkie cried.

“Spike!” and angry voice shouted.

Spike's head shot up, “Uh-oh.”

They looked over seeing Ember make her way over to their table scowling. She stopped in front of them with her hands on her hips.

“Looks like you got another to apologize too.” Applejack noted with a chuckle.

Spike spoke up, “Ember, I can tell why you're pissed, but I...”

Ember held a claw up silencing him, “Pissed? Pissed!? I swore to you and my kind that you and I would be married when I declared you as my fiancé!

“Yes, you did.” Spike acknowledged

“And yet you go on ahead and marry another before me?” she continued to question him.

“I know, I should've consulted with you and the rest of the ladies and in the harem. But my impulse and desire to marry made me go on ahead of it. I wanted it to be a surprise and I blew it. I know no amount of apologies can make up for it, but I promise you my marriage to Twilight doesn't make me love you or anyone else less than that.”

Ember sighed, “I still have more I wanna say to you, and you will face consequences for making light of my proposal to you. But for now, I hope that you and Twilight have a happy marriage. So, you have my blessing.”

“Thank you, Ember.” Twilight said, as she got up and hugged her.

“Yes, thank you, Ember.” Spike said, as he hugged her as well.

“Just so you, Dragon King….I’m a patient dragon lord,” Ember said. “Just don’t ever test it again.”

“I won’t.” Spike shook his head.

Ember turned to Rainbow, “And as for you, Dash. I still haven't forgotten that sucker punch you gave me when I refused to help you stop the marriage. I'll be planning to pay you back for that somehow.”

“Uh, right. My bad.” Rainbow cringed.

Luna spoke up into a mic, “And now a word from Spike's best man, Stone Edge!”

Stone got up from the table with Octavia, Lyra, and Bonbon, before standing before everyone with his drink.

“Hello, everyone. It's an honor to be here at the wedding of the Dragon King and the Princess of Friendship, especially as the former's best man,” Stone began, “I know this whole wedding plan has been quite a rollercoaster for some, physically and emotionally. Especially the emotionally part.”

The guests couldn't help but laugh.

“But in all seriousness, it's good to see family and friends gathered here together to celebrate these two lovebirds. Like you I've watched how their relationship started to grow following Princess Luna's return and since I began helping to train Spike against tougher enemies. And he's proved to be quite the learner. He'd always tell me about how much he loves Twilight and the girls, and how he wanted to get stronger so he could protect them as they have done for him.”

The girls all smiled at Spike feeling at ease knowing he really does care about them equally as he does Twilight.

“So, here's to Spike and Twilight,” Stone raised his glass, along with the others, “May your love continue to grow as strong and powerful as your very abilities.”

The guests had a sip of their drinks and applauded Stone. Twilight and Spike raised their own glasses.

“Thank you, Stone.” Twilight began, as she approached Stone and hugged giving him a peck his cheek.

“Really appreciate it.” Spike said, as they locked fists before embracing.

“And now my wedding gift to you both,” Stone said, before speaking back into the mic, “Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Songbird Serenade!”

The guests were surprised, as the lights began to dim and a light shined down on Songbird who entered the fray. The pegasus pop star took the mic and spoke, “Thank you, everyone. I'm so excited to be here at the wedding reception of Spike Drake and Princess Twilight Sparkle. I have a little number for the happy couple as their first dance as husband and wife.”

The couple smiled, as Vinyl went to her turntables and began running some soft beats, as Songbird began to sing.

Spike and Twilight went to the dance floor and slowed dance together smiling at each other. As they looked into each others eyes they thought back to all the times they had together since they first met from fun to battles, and everything. And they knew more times like that were sure to come for them and everyone else.

Suddenly, Twilight welcomed the rest of her friends out onto the dance floor to be with them. Twilight passed Spike off to dance with each of them. From Applejack, to Rarity, Pinkie, Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer, and Fluttershy. Spike then began to dance with Fleur who had also been invited to join them, having fully accepted his and Twilight's marriage now, though she did get teary eyed when she held him close. Spike then danced with Rainbow who held onto him not wanting to let go, also getting teary eyed. Spike held her close knowing this whole marriage affected her the most. When she finally let go, Spike went back to dancing with Twilight as they spoke to each other.

“Reina mia (My queen).” Spike said in Spanish.

“Mon roi (My king).” Twilight responded in French, before the two kissed as photographer snapped of them both.

As the night went by, many pictures were taken of each of the guests at the wedding, from the Pie sisters close together, the Wonderbolts, Fleur with Fancypants, Stone and Octavia, Rep and Catrina, Sombra, and Radiant Hope, Night Light and Velvet, Cadence and Shining Armor with Flurry Heart, Celestia and Luna, Ember and Torch, Pinkie and Discord gorging on slices of cake, Songbird, Sapphire Shores, and Rara performing together, and even a group shot of the newlyweds and the Elements of Harmony was taken.

Later on, outside the castle, Spike and Twilight got into their carriage ready to leave for their honeymoon.

“Ready to ride?” Spike asked.

“One last thing.” Twilight said before tossing the bouquet.

As the ladies were eager to try and catch it, Rarity desperately plowed through to get up front, “IT'S MINE!” she caught it, as the ladies gave her dried looks at her desperation, as the unicorn girl smiled sheepishly.

As the chariot drove off, the couple looked at each other, “And so it begins.” Spike began.

“The next chapter in our lives.” Twilight agreed.

“Scared?”

“A little.”

“Hey, we'll make it through together. Like we always have.” Spike promised.

“We sure will.” Twilight agreed, as they kissed some more.

Back at the castle, the rest of the girls looked on as the carriage left, waving farewell.

“Well, this was some wedding.” Applejack admitted.

“The best.” Pinkie smiled. “Still, I wished I could have gone with them.

“You tried to sneak aboard in one of their suitcases,” Applejack said dryly.

“And I guess things won’t change much, right Rainbow?” Sunset teased Rainbow.

“Hey, I said I was sorry. I was being stupid. Can we drop it?” Rainbow asked sounding annoyed.

“Do you really think despite Spike being married to Twilight he'll still make time for us all?” Fluttershy asked.

“I have faith he will, Fluttershy.” Starlight believed.

“So do I.” Rarity agreed.

“Spike's love for all of us will never change even if he is married to Twilight,” Applejack assured them, “That's just the kinda person he is.”

“And how we all fell in love with him.” Rarity added.

“Girls,” Sunset addressed as she looked at the rest of the girls, “To Spike and Twilight. The two friends we love with all our hearts. And will always love forever. Three cheers for them”

“Three Cheers!” the girls cheered, once again waving goodbye to the carriage.
