The Consequences of Love

Three days pass in Las Pegasus and again Celestia is woken up by Twilight's eager kisses. Celestia pulled her close and said, "Ok Twily, hopefully this will be the day we can be the happiest ponies on the face of the planet."

Twilight was in a slightly different mood this morning. She gave Celestia a dreamy look and replied, "I'm sure it will be Celly." Twilight gave Celestia a kiss and asked, "After that, what will we do?"

Celestia replied, "Well given how we are always mobbed everywhere we go, I am thinking we should just lay in bed for a month, focusing solely on each other before returning to Canterlot."

Twilight asked, "Do we really ever have to go back there? Can't we just stay here forever?"

Celestia replied, "I'm sorry Twily, but we do have to go back eventually. Enough of this negative talk. I'm going to call room service and then we will go and get married."

After eating breakfast Celestia and Twilight headed down stairs and were getting ready to leave the hotel when a whole mob of ponies were waiting for them at the door. This irritated Celestia greatly. She said, "Damn it, can't we go anywhere outside of the hotel without every pony in town trying to get our autographs or get their pictures taken with us?"

Twilight replied, "I am thinking maybe you will just have to fire some energy at them. That should scare them off."

Celestia smiled and said, "That should take care of the problem. Let's get over to the courthouse sweetie!"

They headed outside and were starting to get mobbed. Celestia fired a warning bolt into the sky but that did not scare any of them off. Finally she started firing bolts of energy at them and they began to run in terror. On Twilight's side, they started to rush her so she decided to fire energy at them as well. Not only did she knock them out of the way she burned them a bit as well. Celestia saw this she was shocked. She knew Twilight could get angry but Twilight had never got mad like that around her before.

Celestia smiled at Twilight and said, "Wow Twily, I've never seen you do that before!"

Twilight looked ahead and saw that everypony had ran away from them. She replied, "Come on Celly, let's get in there before more ponies decide to try to mob us."

Celestia nodded and they ran into the courthouse. They headed up to Silver Ring's office. He saw them coming and said, "Good news you two, your results just got back from the lab about ten minutes ago."

Celestia asked, "Well could you give us the results? We are both very eager to get married."

Silver Ring grabbed the folder that was just delivered to him. He looked inside, got a sad look on his face and said, "I am sorry you two, but you are third cousins. I can not allow you to get married."

Twilight heard this and started to cry uncontrollably. She cried, "That's a lie! I know we're not cousins."

Celestia growled, "You see what you did to my Twily? I believe you are lying. Let me see that!"

Silver Ring shouted, "LOOK, JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE GALAXIA'S DAUGHTER DOES NOT MAKE YOU EXEMPT TO THOSE LAWS! IT IS AGAINST REGULATIONS FOR YOU TO LOOK AT THOSE RESULTS!"

Celestia levitated the results to herself and asked, "Want to make a bet?"

Celestia began to look over the forms and noticed that they were not for the blood tests for her and Twilight. They were DNA tests to determine the guilt of two cousins charged with murder. This sent Celestia into a rage. She shouted, "YOU IMBECILE, THIS IS FOR A MURDER CASE. I OUGHT TO SEND YOU TO THE MOON RIGHT NOW! YOU FIND THE RIGHT RESULTS OR YOU'LL WISH YOU WERE NEVER BORN!"

Silver Ring sneered, "Hey genius, it's daytime. You couldn't send me to the moon right now."

Celestia smacked him across the room for that comment. She jumped over his desk and started going through all the folders herself. She was trying to hurry because Twilight continued to cry uncontrollably. She could not find it. Finally a new folder was delivered to Silver Mane's office. Celestia grabbed it and saw that it was the results. She hopped over the desk and showed it to Twilight. Twilight read it and her tears of sadness became tears of joy.

She pulled Celestia close to her and said, "We're not related, we can get married!"

Celestia replied, "Yes my sweet Twily, we can as soon as this idiot gets off his flank."

Silver Ring got up and replied, "The only reason I'm going to marry you is because you are Princess Celestia and Princess Twilight. Had anypony else done this they would be in jail."

Celestia grunted and said, "Just get over here and marry us. My Twily and I have some serious love making planned for this afternoon."

Silver Ring said, "Look, I don't think I need to know about your personal lives. Oh and we are going to need a witness."

He saw the janitor sweeping the floor and asked, "Clean Hooves, think you could be the witness for this marriage?"

Clean Hooves replied, "Yes sir."

Silver Ring continued, "Ok, we are gathered here to day to join these two ponies, Princess Celestia and Princess Twilight Sparkle in wedded matrimony. Before we continue, if anypony believes that these two should not get married, speak now or forever hold your peace."

Silver Ring, Twilight and Celestia looked back at Clean Hooves, who did not say a word.

Silver Ring asked, "Do you, Princess Celestia, vow to take this mare, Princess Twilight Sparkle as your lawfully wedded life, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer for all eternity?"

Celestia replied, "I do."

Silver Ring asked, "Do you, Princess Twilight Sparkle, vow to take this mare, Princess Celestia as your lawfully wedded life, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer for all eternity?"

Twilight replied, "I do."

Silver Ring finished, "By the power invested in me, the city of Las Pegasus and the Marejavi Province of Equestria, I now pronounce you mare and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Celestia pulled Twilight close to her and gave her a long, deep kiss. Celestia looked at Silver Ring and said, "I'm sorry to have been such a pain in the flank. I guess when something like this comes along you tend to get overly emotional."

Silver Ring replied, "Oh it is no problem your Majesty. I'm sorry for the way I reacted as well."

Twilight looked at Silver Ring and asked, "Wait a minute, you said your name is Silver Ring. Are you related to Gold Ring, the pony who owns the jewelry store?"

Silver Ring replied, "Actually yes I am. She is my sister."

Celestia said, "Wow what a small world we live in." Celestia could tell that Twilight was itching to get back to their room. She waved to Silver Ring and said, "You have a good day Silver Ring. Oh, and Clean Hooves, thank you for being our witness."

After that they left the courthouse and ran back to the hotel as quickly as possible. A few ponies saw them but had heard about what happened earlier, so they left them alone. When Twilight and Celestia got back to their room Twilight jumped on the bed and Celestia jumped on her.

Twilight looked dreamily into Celestia's eyes and said, "I'm so happy Celly! I just wish this could have happened as soon as I matured."

Celestia smiled and replied, "I wish it could have too my sweet Twily."

For the next month Twilight and Celestia remained shut in their hotel room only having contact with outside ponies when room service showed up. While both of them wished they could just stay in there forever, they knew that eventually their bliss would soon have to end, but for now they just enjoyed being together.
