Author's Note

Of course. When I say that the chapter will be out soon, I mean life will inconvenience the heck out of me and I won't upload it until now. I am trying out my phone and I hope this turned out well. I know that it has been forever, and I want to apologize for that, moving and the internet not working really messed everything up.
Enjoy~

Why not?

It was the day that I've been dreading, Tuesday. Normally I would be waiting for Discord to arrive, but today is his wedding. Although I don't want to go, I know that he will be disappointed if I don't show up. Everypony else will be there, and if having Discord wondering where I wasn't enough, having my friends and the princesses be there will. I had to keep everything together, Twilight would be here any minute to pick me up.

"Fluttershy, are you in there?" Twilight asked outside the door. I needed to be there for him. This had to happen. So I put on a smile and opened the front door to see Twilight, who was already dressed for the ceremony. She was wearing what looked like her gala dress, but her mane was put into a braid on the side. She wore a golden crown, similar to her element of harmony. Or what it used look like before we put our elements in the tree of harmony.

"Oh, hello Twilight. You look lovely." I said and she smiled. My dress really wasn't anything special. It was just the same bridesmaid dress I wore to Princess Cadence's wedding, a dark pink skirt with light blue flowers on it.

"Thank you, you look nice as well. I still can't believe that Princess Celestia is letting me be the priest! I assumed that she would choose Cadence or Luna, but she said that it would be an honor for me to be the priest." She said excitedly. I just nodded as we walked to the chariot. Although Twilight could fly to Canterlot, she told me that she preferred the ride more. Once we arrived at Canterlot, I saw Princess Celestia and the rest of my friends

"Hello Fluttershy, I would like to welcome to once again to Canterlot." Celestia said as we descended. As soon as we landed I ran over and bowed.

"Thank you Princess Celestia, I would also like to say congratulations on your marriage." At the thought of the wedding, my eyes started to water. I just swallowed them down and looked up to see the princess beaming.

"Thank you Fluttershy. As you can see, your friends have already arrived." When she said that, Rainbow Dash came and gave me a giant hug.

"I thought you'd never get here." Rainbow said.

"Well, Twilight and I wanted to ride together. Plus, I couldn't fly all the way here like you can." I said. Then, I was attacked by a pink blob.

"Oh hello Pinkie Pie." I giggled, Pinkie Pie was known to make an entrance.

"Hi Fluttershy. Discord was just asking about you." Pinkie said and my eyes widened.

"H-He was?" I asked. I couldn't believe it, in all the excitement, Discord was wondering about me.

"Yeah. He said something about you being upset, and wondering when you were gonna be here." Pinkie said.

"O-Oh." Was all I could manage. I honestly didn't know what to think.

"Now, why don't the rest of you finish getting ready. The ceromony will be starting soon. A chorus of agreements filled the air as we went inside the castle.

"I simply can not believe that the Princess is letting us stay here!" Rarity squealed as we walked down the entrance.

"I reckon it's because we've become closer to her and Discord." Applejack replied. Yeah, we really have become very close to Discord since the Tirek incident.

"I still don't trust Discord. At least I know that if any pony can handle him, it's the Princess." Rainbow Dash added.

"Do you guys think that Smoozy will be here this time?" Pinkie Pie asked excitedly.

"Why do you ask? All he did at the Gala was cause trouble." Twilight said.

"Well, Maud is coming and," Pinkie looked all around, as if to make sure that no one but us was listening.

"she reallyreally wants to talk to him. If you know what I mean." Pinkie said. Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and I all giggled. Twilight shook her head.

"Sorry Pinkie, but different species are too different. Celestia herself said that a pony should be with a pony. That's why I'm confused about her marriage. She's never shown any interest in Discord before now. I suppose all that really matters is that she's happy." Twilight said.

"I agree Twilight, a pony shouldn't be with a dragon, griffon or draconequus." Rarity added.

"Yeah Pinks, I don't think it'll work." Rainbow stated.

"Why not?" I asked everyponys eyes were on me.

"What do ya mean sugar cube?" Applejack asked me.

"Why can't a pony be with a draconequus? I mean, sure their species are different, but as long as they love each other, does it matter?" I said.

"Have you ever seen a cat and dog be together? Or a bird and a lizard?" Twilight asked. I shook my head.

"There's your answer." She stated.

As we all went into our rooms, I thought about what Twilight said.

Great, another reminder of why Discord couldn't be with me.
