Twin Desires: The Tale of Two Ponies Who Want Twilight

Finally the time had come, the time that both Twilight and Flash have been anticipating for so long. While ponies were beginning to get seated, Celestia and Luna could tell that most of them were not there to celebrate a wedding. They both could see that they had their saddle bags filled with eggs that were most likely rotten. The two princesses obviously knew what they would be used for and had absolutely no problems with seeing a crappy guardspony and a princess dumb enough to marry him getting pelted with rotten eggs. Luna just gave the increasing crowd a smile to let them know that they approved of their plans.

Flash and Blueblood arrived at the castle and headed to the throne room where the ceremony would be held. Seeing Blueblood usually made Celestia and Luna cringe enough as it is, but seeing Flash Sentry with him made it all the worse. Blueblood decided to at least try to be civil. "Aunt Celestia, Aunt Luna, how are you doing today?"

Celestia motioned for Blueblood to step closer. She whispered to him, "Terrible. Seeing Twilight marry that idiot sickens me."

Blueblood replied, "She may be a commoner princess but I would not think she would have such low standards and it sickens me that he will become a prince."

Luna whispered, "If thou feels this way about him, why art thou being his best stallion."

Blueblood replied, "So maybe I can improve my public image. Most ponies hate me but maybe if I am there for a pony in his time of need, they will like me better."

Luna laughed, "Blueblood, by thou doing this thou hast most likely worsened thy public image. Thou knows that nopony likes Flash!"

Flash heard a bit of what they were saying. He interrupted, "What was that Luna? You think nopony likes me?"

Luna stood in front of Flash, spread her wings wide and snapped, "That is either Princess Luna or your Majesty to thee private. If thou wishes for us to announce EVERYTHING thou hast done when thou thinks nopony is watching during thy ceremony, thou will show thy Princess of the Night maximum respect."

Celestia too stood in front of him and added, "And don't think I will try to stop her. I want you exposed as badly as she does. I'm only doing this because it is part of my royal duties. If it weren't for that, you wouldn't have anypony to marry you."

Blueblood motioned for Flash to step back and added, "Now step back and show my aunts respect or I will leave and you will have nopony to hand you the rings."

Celestia laughed, "Yeah and then with the way tradition is here in Equestria, you won't even be able to get married!"

For the first time in his life Blueblood actually felt like he belonged as he and his aunts were laughing over Flash's situation and how much Flash was depending on him. Flash just stood there with a scowl on his face hoping that this ceremony would hurry up and start.

While Flash was waiting for the ceremony to begin Twilight, her bridesmares and mare of honor were getting ready. Rarity and Fluttershy were inspecting Twilight's dress to make sure it looked perfect. Fluttershy asked, "What do you think Rarity, does her dress look perfect?"

Rarity replied, "Hmmm.....well the purple accents I put on the dress do bring out her eyes so that should make her all the more appealing to the one she will be hooking up with."

Rainbow was suspicious after hearing this. She asked, "More appealing to the one she will be hooking up with? You act like she is going to leave Flash and get with somepony else."

Rarity replied, "Well...I, you see....."

Twilight interrupted, "It just came out of her mouth wrong Rainbow. It's no big deal, I know it brings out my eyes."

Cadence added, "And you look absolutely beautiful in it Twilight. I know he will probably be in such a daze with your beauty that he will drop to the floor."

Just as she finished saying this there was a knock on the door. It was one of the guardsponies. He said, "Alright everypony, the ceremony starts in a few minutes. Get in your places, we don't want to keep Celestia waiting."

They headed towards the throne room waiting for the music to begin. The trumpets began to play as the bridesmares walked down the aisle. Fluttershy would stand on the outside once they reached the altar so that when Twilight motioned for her to come up to her, she would be able to do so more easily. Once the bridesmares were all lined up by the altar, Twilight and Cadence began to walk down the aisle. Flash had a huge smile as he watched Twilight walking down the aisle in that lavender gown. Despite the fact that nopony except Twilight cared for him, he was truly happy.

Finally Twilight and Cadence arrived at the altar. Twilight stood facing Flash while Cadence stood by her side. Celestia couldn't help but have a disapproving look on her face as she began to address the crowd.

"Mares and gentlestallions, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Princess Twilight Sparkle and PRIVATE Trash...oops, I mean Flash Sentry." The crowd chuckled a bit when Celestia screwed the name up. Once they quieted down she continued, "They have been through many ups and downs but their love has endured. Yes it is rare for a princess to even mingle with a pony as lowly ranked as Flash Sentry, much less hook up with them, but it happened." Quietly after that she added, "Unfortunately."

Celestia looked over at Blueblood and continued, "May we have the rings?"

Blueblood gave Celestia the rings and she continued, "PRIVATE Flash Sentry, do you take this mare, Princess Twilight Sparkle to be your lawfully wedded wife to have and hold through better and worse, through sickness and health and not until death you will part?"

Flash Sentry took the ring and placed it on Twilight's horn as he replied, "I do your Majesty."

Celestia gave Twilight a slight scowl as she continued, "And do you Princess Twilight Sparkle take this stallion, Private Trash...oops, I mean Flash Sentry to be your lawfully wedded husband to have and hold through better and worse, through sickness and health and not until death will you part?"

Twilight looked at Celestia with a smile and asked, "Your Majesty, may I have one of my bridesmares present with me while I answer that question?"

Celestia was puzzled as to why Twilight would need a bridesmare present with her while she answered the question but allowed her to do so. Twilight looked back and asked, "Fluttershy, would you join me?"

Fluttershy walked up to Twilight where they put their wings around one another. Flash saw this and smiled as he figured that it was just his bride sharing a special moment with one of her friends. Twilight continued, "Ok, back to that question." She levitated the rings off of her horn and threw them at Flash and added, "No, I do not take Flash Sentry as my husband. I know now that all the rumors about him are true."

Flash shouted, "WHAT? You actually believe those idiotic rumors?"

Twilight levitated a rotten egg out of one of the guest's saddlebags and fired it at Flash, hitting him in the face. She replied, "Many ponies have mentioned the rumors about you, I have heard about your incompetence, disobedience and laziness, I have heard about your excessive drinking, I have heard about how you will wager entire checks in poker games on hands that have no chance of winning, I have heard about you soliciting prostitutes and I have even heard that the engagement ring you got me was stolen when YOU held up the jewelry store! You sicken me private, you are pathetic, truly pathetic."

Celestia gasped, "He's done what?"

Twilight continued, "For so long I refused to believe all these rumors were true but last night when Fluttershy paid me a visit and comforted me during my time of need, I realized that I could do better, I realized that the rumors about you were true and most of all, I realized that you are not the one for me." She gazed into Fluttershy's eyes and continued, "I realized that Fluttershy is the one for me. The love I have had hidden for her for so long finally came to the surface." She gave Fluttershy a kiss and finished, "Fluttershy, will you marry me? Will you make me the happiest mare in the universe?"

The crowd looked on in shock seeing what was happening while Flash Sentry began to cry. He cried, "Twilight, how could you?"

He began to head towards the couple when Celestia shouted, "Guards, seize him!"

Flash was quickly subdued by higher ranking guards and was forced into a corner in the room. Fluttershy gave him a sinister smile as if she were saying, "Look what I have!"

Fluttershy interrupted, "I don't mean to interrupt you Twilight but my answer to your question is yes. Yes I will marry you!"

Twilight and Fluttershy began to kiss passionately while the room erupted into cheers of pure joy. Even the normally snobbish Blueblood was jumping around more like Pinkie and cheering in glee. Celestia finally raised her wings and lowered them, causing the room to go quiet. Celestia asked, "Twilight, Fluttershy, do you wish for me to marry you now or do you wish to wait until another day to be married."

Twilight replied, "I would like for you to marry us now."

Fluttershy added, "Uhm...if it is ok with you.....I would like it if you could marry us now too."

Celestia replied, "Well come up to the altar so we may do the vows."

Fluttershy and Twilight headed to the altar and faced one another with loving smiles. Celestia began, "Mares and gentlestallions, today we are gathered to witness the union of a TRULY LOVING COUPLE, Princess Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy. It is obvious that their love for one another is strong and that their desire to be with one another is infinite." Celestia paused and asked, "Is there anypony here who objects to these two mares getting married."

Flash shouted, "I object!"

Before he could say anything else Fluttershy and Twilight, in unison shouted, "SHUT THE BUCK UP! NOPONY CARES WHAT YOU THINK!"

Celestia smiled and started, "Fluttershy, do you take this mare, Princess Twilight Sparkle to be your lawfully wedded wife to have and hold through better and worse, through sickness and health and not until death you will part?"

Fluttershy replied, "I do your Majesty."

Celestia continued, "And do you Princess Twilight Sparkle take this mare, Fluttershy, to be your lawfully wedded wife to have and hold through better and worse, through sickness and health and not until death will you part?"

Twilight replied, "I do your Majesty."

Celestia said, "By the power invested in me, Princess Celestia of Canterlot, I now pronounce you wife and wife. You may now kiss."

Fluttershy and Twilight began to kiss passionately as the crowd again erupted in cheers. Twilight's other bridesmares, with the exception of Rarity, were in a state of shock. Never did they imagine that Twilight would actually leave Flash for Fluttershy, much less do so in the way that she did. Rainbow looked over at her friends and said, "I can't believe it! I can't believe Twilight came to her senses!"

Twilight and Fluttershy headed towards the balcony, followed by her bridesmares. As they reached the edge of the balcony a crowd was waiting. Before coming out, the crowd was ready to begin booing as they expected Twilight to come out with Flash but when they saw a yellow pegasus mare by Twilight's side instead, their mood changed to one of anger to one of happiness.

Celestia walked up and stood by the newlyweds' side. She announced, "For the very first time, I present to you Princess Twilight Sparkle and Princess Fluttershy!"

The crowd began to cheer wildly upon hearing the announcement. Fluttershy looked at her new wife and asked, "Did I hear that right? P-Princess Fluttershy? I'm a princess now?"

Twilight gave her a loving look and replied, "Yes sweetie, you are a princess now."

Fluttershy asked, "B-but what do I do? I don't even know what a princess is supposed to do."

Twilight replied, "I'm still growing into the role myself. We will learn from one another's mistakes and will share our rule over the Ponyville region."

Fluttershy was in a state of shock and happiness realizing that not only had her dream of being Twilight's wife had come true, but also something she never expected, becoming a princess.

Things were not going so well for Flash Sentry as he sat there curled in a ball in the throne room on the floor crying over what had happened. Soon the guests began to surround him like a pack of wolves, cornering him. They began to point their hooves at him and laugh. He cried out, "How could you laugh at me like this? I just got dumped at the altar in favor of another mare. How could you be so cruel?"

The crowd did not answer him. Instead they began to throw rotten eggs at him. The unicorns used so much energy in their throws that they left bruises on him and caused him to cry out in pain. Finally after ten minutes the supply of eggs had been exhausted and the crowd dispersed. All that remained in the throne room was an emotionally broken Flash Sentry, covered in rotten eggs and questioning his future. One thing he did know was that he wanted to do something to escape this humiliation and hopefully never have to see Twilight again.
