Prologue

I sat alone, in a room, waiting. I was nervous and scared, I had no idea what to expect. I was dressed in a suit jacket covering my chest with tufts of white fur popping out in between the buttons. I looked in the mirror and saw my mechanical wings, tucked nicely by my side. My horn, functional but snapped in two. My hind legs, scarred a neon blue around the hoof and up the leg. All of these serve as reminders of how my life had changed. My magical aura, once green, had turned to cyan. My wings once filled with feathers are now metallic with red tips as a memory of the blood shed. Lastly the blue scars, served as a reminder of how a war can be won for justice.

“Are you ready to get married?” a voice from outside said, beckoning me outside. I took a deep breath and opened the door to find Spike, a dragon standing tall at the height of Princess Celestia, waiting for me.

“I’m ready Spike,” I replied, “I convinced the girls to add a bit into our wedding agreement that you can be wed into this harem at any time you wish.” Spike’s emotionless expression turned to that of pure happiness at a speed that would amaze Rainbow Dash.

“Thank you so much Pixl.” He exclaimed as he hugged me so hard it felt like my bones were breaking.

“Could you stop now? It’s starting to hurt.” I asked him, not wanting to get hurt on my wedding day. He nodded and stopped hugging me. I looked up at the purple dragon and knew he was the best choice for the best man. He knew one of my wives personally, he was her assistant for crying out loud. I’m just happy that she molded this dragon into what he is today, a strong, caring and wise dragon. We were told that I was to be walking down the isle in a few moments and to get ready. I straitened my bow-tie, looked in the mirror to check if my mane and tail were in shape and left with Spike down to the door. Normally a parent would be giving their child away but seeing as all of my family died years ago, I guess the best man will have to do.

The doors opened and we walked though, the best man and groom, a dragon and pony, ready for what lies ahead. We took our spots on the podium and turned to face the doors we just entered from. Gazing out on the crowd you recognize many of the soldiers you fought with, the mares from your hometown, the gigantic apple family colored from red all the way to green and then you see the door open. The six mares who you have gotten to know over the years walked in, their fathers next to them all. Many know these six mares by their title: The Elements of Harmony. They started climbing the steps and you realized something, Applejack was with her older brother, Big Mcintosh. I made a mental note to ask her about it later and looked over them. The parents left the altar and the only people still at the altar not getting married were: the best man and lady, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Spike stood next to me as we faced the two princesses, my brides were joined by the fourth princess, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, or Princess Cadence. Celestia started the ceremony and she and Luna read their specific parts of the ceremony. It finally came time for the vows. I decided to be a gentleman and let the ladies go first. They had Twilight prepare the vows that they all agreed on.

“I am speaking on behalf of myself, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity and Pinkie Pie. We vow to live everyday of our lives with you, to love you for all of those days, to live our our immortality together, as one big family. We vow to make this marriage magical.”

Twilight was interrupted as if this was rehearsed by Rainbow Dash. “We vow to be loyal to you.”

Applejack continues the chain of interruptions. “We vow to be honest to ya and y’all involved.”

Next it was Rarity’s turn to make her statement. “We vow to be generous to you, whenever needed.”

Now Fluttershy spoke, surprisingly not scared or timid in the slightest. “We vow to be kind to you and help you in any way we can.”

Lastly Pinkie Pie got her two bits into this chain of speech. “We vow to laugh at anything that may go wrong and to share a good laugh together.” Pinkie Pie finished up her bit and they all spoke in unison. “Cross our hearts and hope to fly. Stick a cupcake in our eye.”

With that Twilight retreated back in line with the others and it became my turn to speak.

I cleared my throat and started to speak. “I would like to thank you for all of your wishes and to take Pinkie up on her vow of laughing with me because you beat me to the Elements of Harmony puns.” Pinkie Pie at this point just started laughing and calmed herself down after a minute. “Now on to my vows. I vow to uphold the same vows that you have all made to me, to learn, teach, aid and laugh with all of you. I vow to protect you from death and harm for our entire lives. I vow to be a husband worthy of these six lovely and beautiful wives.” I walked over to Rainbow Dash and continued my speech. “I vow to be a loyal husband,” I continued walking down the line listing off the respective elements of the ponies I passed. “An honest husband, a generous husband, a kind husband, a laughable husband and lastly I vow to be a magical husband and to make this marriage the best it possibly can.” I stepped back in line with Spike waiting by my side.

Celestia continued on with the service as she called up the ring bearers. “Pixl do you take these six mares to be your lawfully wedded wives to love and hold dear until death do you part?” I responded with the two words the mares were needing to hear: “I do.” Luna turned to the six mares awaiting the same question. She asked them “Ladies doth thou takest Pixl to be thine lawfully wedded husband so thou shalt loveth him and holdeth him dear until death dost thou part?” They responded with the same word that I did: “We do.” Celestia finished off the ceremony by telling the ring bearer to hand me the rings, this ring bearer was none other then Shining Armor, Twilight’s older brother. The rings were gold bands with The Elements of Harmony recreated perfectly on each band. “You may kiss the brides!” Exclaimed Celestia and I waked down the line presenting each mare with their ring, then kissing them on their lips. The mares then presented me with my ring, a basic gold band with no bells and whistles added on to it. I took it and then went with my brides, the best man, the best lady and the two facilitators of the ceremony back to a room.

There was a lot of happiness to be had backstage. We chatted, drank alcohol and joked around. Then one question came up from Luna, “Pardon mine own question Pixl, I asketh thee what hath happened to thine horn and wings?” My six wives’ jaws dropped and they had looks of shock on their faces. I just attributed Luna's question to the alcohol and responded with a simple answer. “It’s hard to talk about but seeing as your are so curious I think that I might just tell you how I came to be half machine, half pony. This is the tale of a Pixl.”
