Chapter 1
Load Full StoryNext ChapterHarmony skipped through the streets of Ponyville a broad smile plastered on her face as she made her way to her parents house. The most wondrous spectacular thing just happened and she couldn't wait to tell them. Her stomach was tight in joyous but nervous anticipation. She was nervous, of course, of what they would say. What they would do. But she knew they'd be happy for her. As she got closer and closer her anticipation grew exhilarating the tiny girl. She broke from her skip into a light run and got faster and faster before turning into a full sprint. Then her yellow translucent wings sprouted from her back and she took flight. She rarely ever used her wings her immense fear of heights and weak wings kept her earthbound. But at this moment all of her fears were washed away in a flood of happiness she could fly all the way to Cloudsdale and not even notice. Her mothers' tree house came into view and her smile grew even wider. Landing at her doorstep her translucent wings vanished and she began banging on the door.
"Mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom!" The door swung open to reveal a startled and confused Fluttershy.
"Harmony what's-" she was cut off, however, by Harmony wrapping her into a spine crushing hug. Or as close as the small girl could achieve.
"Mommy, please tell me mom is home." She said looking up at her birth-mother.
"Yes, sweetie she's taking a nap though and-" Her words fell on deaf ears as Harmony rushed up the stairs to her parents' bedroom. It was at that moment her eldest, Windy Belle, walked out of the kitchen wondering what all the commotion was.
Windy Belle was Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash's first born. She had incredibly long but gorgeous hair that shined like a rainbow. A beautiful mix of Fluttershy's pink and Rainbow Dash's spectrum mane. She was the tallest girl of their group of friends. She was a tom boy like Rainbow Dash but had Fluttershy's tender heart. Creating a natural attraction to other people it seemed everywhere she went people were friendly to her.
"Hey mommy what's going on, was that Windy Belle?" She asked.
"Yes I've never seen her like this. Whatever it is it better be important enough for her to ignore me and wake up Dashie." She said with a huff and focusing attention on upstairs. Living with Rainbow Dash Fluttershy picked up on how to be more assertive especially with their children. She still wasn't as assertive as Rainbow but one thing she taught them early on was to never ignore either of them. The other was not waking Rainbow unless it was a dire emergency. Or as Rainbow put it. "If you're waking me up, it better be an emergency. You've lost an arm, the house is on fire, or you've broken your legs if it's any less than that you're in a lot of trouble."
Harmony barged into her parent's room startling Rainbow Dash awake. "Wha- What happened did you lose your arm, is the house on fire, what?" She blabbered still half asleep. Harmony ran over and shook her mother awake.
"Mom, wake up, wake up, wake up you need to come downstairs I have something to tell you." She squealed.
"Can't you tell me now?" Rainbow moaned.
"No I need to tell both of you at the same time now let's go!" She squealed grabbing her mother's hand and leading her downstairs.
"This better be important or I will ground you in your own house."
As Harmony lead her mother downstairs she noticed Windy Belle standing at the foot of the stairs with a confused look on her face.
"Harmony, what's going on why are you acting so strange?" But like her mother before her Harmony didn't pay much attention.
"Windy, you're here? Great, come over to the living room I'll explain everything." She said still pulling Rainbow with her over to the couch. Windy Belle could only shrug and follow. Harmony has always been a sweet and kind but she's never acted like this. She was acting more like Starchaser in her 'party-mode.' With her family fully seated on the couch she grabbed a chair opposite of them. Windy Belle and Fluttershy were confused and Rainbow was still half asleep.
"So, what is it that you wanted to tell us, honey?" Rainbow asked leaning on Fluttershy as a comfortable pillow.
"Well, you know that I went up to Canterlot to meet Pan? Well, we went out got some dinner then he brought me to the Canterlot gardens just as the sun was setting and he... well... look." She breathed her face glowing crimson as she held out her left hand. It took each of them to only a second to realize what had happened.
Their eyes became dinner plates, Fluttershy gasped placing a hand over her mouth; she could feel tears swell in the corner of her eyes. Windy Belle smiled which grew wider and wider until it was the same size as her sister's she could feel tears of joy cascade down her cheeks. Rainbow could only stare in shock. Now out of her sleep stupor she was stunned. Staring blankly at the platinum ring with a bright blue gem on her daughter's finger. Fluttershy got up and held her daughter tightly her tears flowing freely now.
"Oh Harmony, I am so happy for you." She breathed pulling her daughter even tighter.
"I can't believe I knew you two were meant for each other. After I stopped trying to kill him of course." Windy said smiling sheepishly. Rainbow Dash, however, was still in her seat completely silent. Harmony pulled away from Fluttershy and stared worriedly at her. “Mom don't you have anything to say?" She asked. She thought her mothers would jump for joy at the news but here she was not saying a word. Frightening thoughts began swirling in Harmony's 'Was she angry, did she not approve of Pandemonium, what if she forbids it, what would Celestia do, what if they had to elope, what if-' Those dreaded thoughts came to a swift end when she was swept up in her mothers arms carrying her to the top of the massive tree's interior. Harmony could feel droplets of water fall onto her head as Rainbow Dash embraced her.
"My little girl, getting married, oh Harmony, words can't describe how happy I am." She choked out. Harmony smiled warmly holding her mother close her quick lived fears a distant memory. This was the happiest she had ever been and it was only going to get better from there. 'It's going to be perfect' she thought closing her eyes.
