Previous ChapterNext ChapterCanterlot castle, 0500 hours, Twilight's pov
During the days after Celestia and Riker had told Princess Luna about her marriage to Admiral Riker and becoming the ambassador to this Federation I've heard so much about, but when I ask Lieutenant Commander Hawke or Commander Tuvok they always say that they can't violate their Prime Directive and that they had violated it when they had made contact with Celestia and Luna, and also by coming here with their metal airship. So after several failed attempts of getting information from the two of them I decided to try and get information out of Riker himself but I was stopped by Spitfire. "Whoa, where do you think your going princess?" She said and stepping in front of me.
"Why?" With a confused look on my face, Spitfire just lead me away from the throne, the Princesses and our guests rooms. Taking me to Celestia know's where.
"Well Princess Celestia ordered me to you busy while they get all the boring stuff out of the way, along with Princess Luna getting her dress made so her foal belly can be properly accommodated" As she placed a hand on my opposite hip pulling me towards her with our hips pressing against each other causing me to blush a deep crimson red, she gave me a passionate kiss on the cheek causing me to blush even further. All I could do was nod and just walk with her and the both of us went off to do our own things and to get our dresses done for the wedding.

During the days of the first and second months I had been contacted by the Titan that the ship repairs were going to be finished the day of the wedding I was ecstatic that the ship was going to be fully repaired, and I had also been told by my science officer who I won't name, had reported that the Titan wasn't far from federation space, about a few days away, so I decided to keep that a secret from the Royal Pony Sisters, as they call themselves, I hated keeping secrets from them, because if they found out they could just incinerate me, Hawke, and Tuvok. But they couldn't reach the Titan unless they disguised themselves as us and use our communicators and contact the ship, once they were aboard ship they would just drop their disguises and kill the whole crew.
During those first two months I had gotten to know Luna even more, she was born to two Alicorn parents and that she was the youngest of the two of the both of them, and what I found out was that their parents, King Artemis and Queen Solianna, were already deceased, and where the "rulers of the galaxy", which I didn't believe at the time until they showed me their death certificates, which were sketchy, and they had made appear out of thin air, which you have to quickly get used to, and they also showed me their possessions as well.

It was two hours until the actual wedding I was nervous, I was standing on the fitting pedestal having the servants fuss over me making sure the dress was perfectly made for me. The wedding was going to be small and quiet, the guards and servants were given orders to keep this whole ordeal quiet, and were given bonus' and pay raises to do so. During the two months leading up to this I had gotten to know Riker better, he told about his race and the Federation that was made up of different space faring races, like the race called "Vulcans" and how they were emotionally disciplined. I was using my magic to levitate a small silver rectangle with a small screen and two small black buttons for me to interact with it, they call it a "Datapad" to learn about the other races as well.
Two hours later, Canterlot castle chapel
after the servants were done fussing over me, started making my way to the chapel where Twilight,Spitfire and the Wonderbolts, the guard, and servants will be attending. After I entered the chapel and took my place behind the door I saw one of my guards standing next to me, he gave me a small smile, when we heard the organ began playing the wedding march I took my guards arm, he began escorting me up to the aisle after the door opened revealing Twilight, Spitfire, and both aisle's filled with servants and guards alike. I looked up at the alter and say Tia, Tuvok, Hawke, and Riker all of who were wearing from what I could tell were their dress uniforms, they had beige shoulders, red collars with pins representing their ranks, from below the shoulders they were all black.
Same time, Riker's pov
She looks beautiful in that dress even with a baby bell As she walked up to the alter taking her spot opposite of me, the guard escorting her quickly walked, trotted?, down the steps and rejoined his friends. "Today we are gathered to join these two together in marriage, if there is anypony who wishes these two not to be bound together speak now or forever hold your peace" The alabaster alicorn spoke, not getting a response. "Now, do you Princess Luna take William Riker to be your lawfully wedded husband forever to hold and to love until death or until you both part?" The sun goddess asked.
"I do" My-soon-to-be wife said, taking her hand and placed it on my ring finger
"Do you William Riker take Princess Luna to be your lawfully wedded wife forever to hold and to love until death or until you both part?" The white alicorn asked.
"I do" I said in return, taking the ring in my hand, placing it on Luna's ring finger.
"You may now kiss the bride" Celestia said doing her duty as pastier. Both me and Luna kissed as every in the room cheered and clapped for the both of us as we kissed deeply and passionately. The both of us walked down the aisle's and out of the chapel being showered by rice, the both of us walked to the conference room.

As I ordered a late lunch I saw Lulu and Riker walk out of the side room in their normal attire, Luna her royal dress, Riker his Starfleet uniform. As I started eating my lunch the both of them kissed passionately, which brought a smile to my face. "When will the both of you be leaving?" As the both of them came out of the kiss.
"Later on today, the ships crew managed to get all of the ships systems repaired, but they are makeshift repairs. We'll have to stop at a drydock for the ship to be fully repaired." I just smiled knowingly, Luna looked at Riker with shock.
"You've been keeping this a secret!!!!" My little sister said with the royal canterlot voice creeping in her voice.
"Luna don't use the canterlot voice towards you're new husband!" I snapped at her, I sighed heavily regaining my composure. Luna also sighed heavily and hugged a shocked looking Riker covering his ears with his hands.
"I'm so, so sorry honey, I just loose my temper" After she regained her composure, hugging and nuzzling his broad chest. Riker uncupped his ears and wrapped Luna in an embrace, stroking her back apologetically, Lulu just nuzzled his broad chest. Commander Tuvok and Lt Commander Hawke walked in casually, stopping three feet from Riker and Luna.
"Admiral we better get going, I've just received from the Titan that Starfleet is searching for us, from where we disappeared to the out lying systems that are neighboring that location. They don't seem to know about this system, but they are searching for us." The pointed eared Vulcan stated. "I hate to cut pleasantries short but we need to beam up to the ship and depart" The Commander added.
"Right, I already have the things I deem necessary packed and ready to be brought along. All they have to is beamed up" My younger counterpart stated. I smiled. She has been learning about federation technology, which I know that they won't share it with us postindustrial ponies I thought to myself.
Luna walked around the table and hugged me. "I will miss you dear sister. But I'll try and come back and visit when I can, and tell Twilight to not to worry about me" As I hugged her back as lovingly as she was.
"I'll miss you to Lulu, I'll miss you to" As the both of us broke the hug, and she walked back to the group. "And you better raise that foal right and give me a decent niece or nephew." I quickly added, which caused Luna to giggle and the two humans to chuckle lightly.
The admiral tapped his little combadge, as they call them. "Riker to Titan, five and some luggage to beam up"
"Acknowledged, beaming you and the luggage up" Came a response from the little communicator, and the group was surrounded by a blue shimmering field and a few seconds later they were gone.

The group appeared on a transporter pad. "Welcome back Admiral, Tuvok, Hawke...Who are you!?" Came a female voice which was none other than Vice Admiral Deanna Troi, as she pulled her phaser out but was cut off by the Admiral. "Admiral get out of the way!" As Luna hid behind Riker.
"Stand down Vice Admiral! That's my wife your threatening" Riker said, which was received by shocked looks by Troi and the senior officers, they reluctantly re holster their phaser's as the admiral, Luna, Tuvok, and Hawke.
"How can this be your wife? And you broke the Prime Directive didn't you" Riker's first officer stated which she received a curt nod by her commanding officer, she was a strict but lenient officer she always was a "By the books" officer, she was shocked by the appearance of Luna and the on her ring finger and the ring on Riker's ring finger. The Admiral ordered the officer's there to the ship
s conference room. They made their way to the captain's ready room, Princess Luna was looking at the different alien's wearing the same uniform's with light blue, gold, and red collars. Once they got to the bridge the bridge crew look at Luna as she followed Riker.

Once the trio, Riker, Troi, and Luna entered the ready room, Hawke and Tuvok went back to their stations, Riker sat behind the desk while Troi sat in one of the two chairs facing him. "So number one what do you think about Luna being on-board, being my wife and the ambassador of her entire race?" The bearded senior officer stated angrily at his first officer. "She already know's each race's history, rituals and their culture practically burned into her mind" He quickly added before the Vice Admiral.
"Well I'm most heavily obligated to report this to command. And make sure you are put on report" The younger more strict officer stated watching Luna walk to the window facing out to space, and her leaning against the bulkhead looking out it. "And from what I've seen she's pregnant." Stating the obvious fact. She saw on Riker's face, "No Shit Sherlok" plastered on it when she turned to look at him.
"And before you say anything Number One She's carrying my child, so if you were wondering." He snapped back at the junior admiral, with obvious anger in his voice. "And she's going to be staying and she is to be not touched while on board" He quickly added with a smile on his face but also with a "Don't disobey my standing orders" look, which Troi quickly backed off her heated argument. "Tuvok please come to the ready room" The bearded, charming human said over the intercom.
"Aye sir" He responded, than a minute later he walked in with the sliding door opening and closing with a hiss, which still captivated Luna. "You wanted to see me sir?" The Admiral nodded and gestured to his first officer to explain some of the details of the experience. "Vice Admiral the reason why Princess Luna is here, is because her older sister has married her off to the admiral, she had started having feelings towards him the admiral comforted her when she wasn't wanting to really talk about her pass, he started to have feelings for her" The Vulcan stated leaving out most of what had happened causing Luna to blush at the statement.
The Vice Admiral sighed heavily before responding. "Aye sir, I'll make sure the crew doesn't harm her or the unborn child" Slumping into her seat, Tuvok was dismissed after being given standing orders to not to let anything harm Luna or the unborn foal. Then after a short silence the three remaining humanoids walked out of the ready room and out on the bridge.
USS Titan, bridge, several minutes later, Riker's pov
After giving my first officer a lecture, me, her, and Luna walked out on the bridge with all of the consoles, and doors still captivating Luna. After she had made her way into the middle of the bridge I sat down in the captains chair and gave the order to deactivate the cloak and to head back to earth with the ambassador of another culture in tow.
