Previous ChapterThe day of the wedding. (1 month later)
"Fluttershy, how is the songbird choir?" Rainbow asked.
"They're great, I think, I hope.."
"Twilight, you remember your part?"
"Yes Rainbow, yes."
"Rarity, you brought your dresses?"
"Yes darling."
"Applejack, the food?"
"Yes."
"Pinkie Pie, the reception?"
"Yes dashie!"
"Rainbow, don't y'all fret. It'll be fine." Applejack said.
"Thanks Applejack, but I don't really know." Rainbow said as she pulled out her wedding dress.
"Oh my STARS darling, that's GORGEOUS!" Rarity said.
"Thanks Rarity." Rainbow said slipping it on. "Fluttershy, get the songbird choir out, everyone else, can you go to your places please? Twilight especially."
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. Rainbow Dash said a thought aloud.
"Marriage is a commitment, and I have to stay by my husbands side till death do us part."
Rainbow Dash stood by the door in the castle hall, waiting for the unicorn guards to open the door.
Soarin stood beside Spitfire and on the opposite side of where Rainbow would stand. He wore his black tux with pride and nervousness.
Fluttershy signalled her songbird choir to start chirping Here comes the bride, and as they did so, 2 unicorn guards opened the door with their magic to reveal Rainbow Dash. To the tune, Applejack's niece was the flower girl, Rainbow Dash slowly walked towards Soarin. Soarin's emerald eyes widened as he looked at the bride. She was beautiful. Her hair was tied with rainbow-coloured bands, her dress flowed nicely down her back. As Rainbow approached the groom,Twilight began here speech.
"Mares and Gentlecolts, we are gathered here today to celebrate the union of Rainbow Dash and Soarin Skies. Together they shine brightly, they're love, is without a doubt, very powerful and committed, together, they are unstoppable. If there is anyone who objects to the marriage of these two, speak now or forever hold your peace."
"wait..I OBJECT!" Screamed a loud voice from the crowds, very stallion-like.
The whole castle filled with gasps. They cleared away to see a blonde, light blue stallion whom Rainbow, Soarin and Spitfire recognized as Lightning Streak.
"Lightning Streak." Spitfire mumbled under her breath.
"And why do you do so?" Twilight asked.
"Because they're not right together! My plan in killing Rainbow should've succeeded if THIS JERK DIDN'T SHOW UP!" Lightning yelled as he pointed his hoof at Soarin. "Oops, I just yelled attempted murder out loud, didn't I?"
"Yes you did." Twilight began. "And for doing so, I banish thee, to 30 years in Tartarus!" Twilight said as her horn began to glow very bright pink, to purple, then to black, as a image of Tartarus appeared. Twilight continued her spell as she lifted up Lightning Streak and threw him in a cell. The room was silent until a filly spoke.
"Princess Twilight is awesome." Squeaked Lightning Orchid.
"Shh Lightning." whispered Harmonic Brush. "Rainbow was kind enough to invite us." She still whispered.
Twilight coughed. "Can we continue the wedding please?"
The whole room nodded their heads in agreement.
"Now, as I was saying." Twilight said.
The whole room jolted their heads toward her.
"Together they shine brightly, they're love, is without a doubt, very powerful and committed, together, they are unstoppable. Rainbow Dash, do you commit every day of your life your love, to comfort in sickness and health towards Soarin Skies?" Twilight asked.
"I do." Rainbow said looking towards Soarin.
"And do you, Soarin Skies, commit every day of your life to your love, to comfort in sickness and health towards Rainbow Dash?"
"I do." Soarin said locking his green eyes with her moderate cerise eyes.
"Then may we have the rings?" Twilight said turning her head to Spike.
Spike held out the rings and Twilight used her magic to place them on Soarin and Rainbow's hooves.
"You may now kiss the bride." Twilight announced.
Soarin locked eyes with Rainbow dash. Without hesitation, they locked lips and slipped into a kiss. They held it for a few seconds and then slipped away. The people in the castles cheered and stomped their hooves. In the front row Firefly, Rainbow Blaze (Rainbow Dash's parents) and Speeding Flight and Shooting Skies (Soarin's parents) were crying.
The ponies were dancing to a upbeat song that Twilight was singing.
"Love is in bloom! A beautiful bride, a handsome groom."
Soarin had a nervous look on his face that directed to Dash.
"Don't worry honey, It's a song lyric." Rainbow said comforting Soarin as they continued to dance together swinging back and forth.
"Phew." Soarin replied.
Rainbow laughed as Vinyl Scratch announced the next song.
"Alright lovebirds, grab your partners and time to take it down a notch to slow song."
Twilight grabbed Flash, Fluttershy grabbed Discord, Applejack grabbed Spike, Pinkie Pie grabbed Cheese Sandwich, Rarity grabbed Fancy Pants, and in the background Fleur Dis Lee looked angry and jealous, Soarin reached out his hoof to dance and Rainbow instantly took it. This moment was perfect, and Rainbow Dash wanted it to never end.
Meanwhile....
"UGH! Tartarus sucks, and they gave me a cell that I can't fly out of or walk through the bars! THIS SUCKS, STUPID CERBERUS!" Lightning Streak yelled out.
The dog just growled which caused Lightning Streak to back into a corner.
"Tell me about it, I'm Tirek, your name?"
"Lightning Streak."
They heard yelling in the background.
"The GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE SHALL NOT BE KEPT IN TARTARUS FOR HER CRIMES! JUST BECAUSE TRIXIE TOOK OVER PONYVILLE AND USED THE ALICORN AMULET, TRIXIE DOESN'T BELONG HERE!"
"Hi, Trixie, I'm Lightning Streak, and this is Tirek."
"I know very well who Tirek is, he stole my magic a while ago."
"What can I say, I'm mad with power."
"Well Trixie and Tirek, how do you say we strike back."
"The great and powerful Trixie shall not stand by someone with psychosis! Or a centaur!"
"You sure?" Tirek and Lightning said in unison.
"Well, Trixie can get back at Twilight, very well, but we still need to get out."
"No problem." Tirek said as he walked out of his bars. "I was waiting for ponies and creatures like me to come so I could escape, now to get you guys out."
The End!
