Marriage

As they were riding the train to Canterlot and the girls were talking about the marriage along with different things related to it, Twilight was twitching. She couldn't put her finger what was going on between Spike and Celestia. It was like trying to get out of a maze without a map for her. She had never felt so confused in her whole life.

"Are you feeling okay?" Starlight asked.

"Huh?" Twilight said, still shocked about the news."

"You were twitching." Starlight pointed out.

"I was?"

Twilight looked down and saw that her hand was moving the entire time as she was thinking. She stopped as soon as she noticed.

"You don't know how to take it, do you?" Starlight said with a comforting smile.

"It's all such a shock. It's bad enough that I never get to see him as much... but hearing about this through the paper. It's just..." Twilight said feeling disappointed.

"I know, but he's finally found love. And it's with a princess. I could never be anymore happy for him. Truth be told, it was such a shock, but it is what it is. And I know what you're feeling right now, but the sooner you confront the truth, the more easier it will be. It's a promise."

As she was finished speaking, the train has stopped. They were in front of the Canterlot train station.

"Well... it looks like we're here." Starlight said.

"Apparently." Twilight said, looking at the sign.

"Are you gonna be okay?" Starlight asked, concerned.

"I'll be fine. I'm just gonna go to Spike and tell him congratulations. Princess Celestia too. It'll be okay." Twilight replied.

"I hope so..." Starlight said, a little unnerved.

They got off the train and walked to the castle. As they proceeded, they saw Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, and Flurry Heart. She let her friends go on ahead so that she could say hello to her relatives, as much as it pained her at this moment in time.

"Twilie!" Shining Armor happily shouted as he walked towards her and hugged her.

"Hey BBBFF..." Twilight said, albeit a little sad as she hugged him.

"What's wrong Twilight?" Cadence asked.

After having a brief look at Twilight, Princess Luna said,

"You are already aware of the news."

Twilight gave her a sad nod as she looked away.

"I know the exact pain that you are going through. I was shocked when I first heard the news that my dear sister is going to marry my nephew. I was so beyond fury that I could barely look at her not because of who she was marrying- well, I was peeved at that revelation in all honesty, but also because she was keeping secrets from me. However, when I saw how happy the young drake was, I decided to myself that it was worth nothing getting angry over, and now that I look at it... they were both very happy with each other, and nopony deserves it more than my niece and nephew. I hope you will come to realize that point of view. It will be hard, but you will come through." Luna explained.

Twilight just gave her a sigh and replied,

"Is it true about what it said in the paper?"

"About what Twilight?" Cadence asked.

"About the pregnancy?"

Luna took a deep breath and said,

"Yes. It is so."

Twilight was even more flabbergasted at this major turn of events.

"When did this happen?" she asked, doing her best to hide her anger and sadness.

"Two months ago. On the night that I was finished raising the moon, I decided to go to the kitchen for a quick snack. When I was finished eating my favorite cream puffs, I saw her hold something. It looked like some sort of thermometer. I went to her and asked what it was. She told me that it was nothing. As soon as she turned her back, I swiped it out of her hand and I saw that it was a pregnancy test. When she saw it, she got upset, telling me that she wanted it to be a surprise. I was angry as well, about her keeping secrets from her, about her having Spike as her secret lover, and most of all, lying to me about being attentive to her responsibilities as a princess. So we gave each other our apologies and I promised that I wouldn't tell anyone that the time was right. Unfortunately, one of the chambermaids heard us speaking and we immediately saw her. We told her that if she told Equestria what she heard, she would suffer the consequences. She complied with our warnings and waited until yesterday to bring this to the Canterlot newspaper, to which we both told her to tell the press that my dear sister is getting married to Spike. " Princess Luna explained.

"But why didn't you tell me?" Twilight asked.

"We did not know how you would take the news." Cadence said.

"You knew?" Twilight asked, even more shocked.

"No. We were told about this three days ago. And believe me, this is nothing like every topic that I've heard in high school."

"How so?"

"No popular girl would date the nerd."

"Uh... I was the popular girl, Shining Armor. And you were the nerd."

"My point is that we were different, but things change. And we just have to learn how to accept it. It's okay to feel angry Twilight, but Spike has found the joy that he wanted and we need to be happy for him. It means that much to us."

"He's right. While I was a little steamed at first hearing this, I take a good look at Flurry Heart and I see that it's joy. It's the joy that is keeping him going, and that is what's making him feel complete. And I cannot wait to attend the wedding day."

Twilight was still frowning at that aspect, but she loosened up a little after hearing them talk.

"Do mom and dad know?" she asked.

"They do. They will be here by tomorrow." Shining Armor answered.

"Hmm. So where are they?" she asked.

"Huh?" Shining Armor asked.

"Spike and Celestia. Where are they?" Twilight demanded.

"They're in the castle somewhere, but I don't-" Cadence said before Twilight warped herself to the castle.

As she finished teleporting herself, she proceeded to look for them. Before she did, she saw her friends.

"Hey girls. Do you know where Spike and Celestia are?" she asked, still doing her best to hide her anger.

"Oh! I do! I do! They're in-" Pinkie Pie shouted before her mouth was covered by Starlight.

"It's no place important." Applejack replied.

"Yes. They're somewhere around here, and it's a good idea not to-"

Twilight move went forward without even batting an eye. While she kept looking for them, she had deep thoughts about the aspect of Spike and Celestia marrying. While she should be happy that they're getting married, she couldn't keep the fact that they were keeping secrets from her. She was so angry that it was eating away at her like a swarm of parasprites. It was just too much for her to handle. She didn't even know whether to shout or cry. Just then, she heard noises.

"What the...?" she thought as she kept moving.

She decided to keep walking, and as she did, she started to hear moaning from across the hallway. She kept moving, and it was getting louder and louder. All of a sudden, she heard the source of the noise coming from behind the doors. It was Celestia's room.

"Ooh~. You naughty little boy~..." Celestia flirted behind the door, albeit muffled.

"What can I-" Spike said being interrupted by a kiss, albeit muffled as well.

Hearing it only stirred Twilight's rage even more.

"Okay... get ready to be served a freshly-made knuckle sandwich, hot head." she said with anger in her voice.

She pushed the doors open and saw that Celestia and Spike were in the middle of having sex. She was on top while he was on the bottom, and they were both naked. Seeing it made Twilight go from angry to embarrassed. They both turned to her out of shock and annoyance.

"Oh. Uh sorry. I'll let you two finish up." Twilight said with her face completely red as she shut the door.

Twilight stood behind the door and just sighed. She proceeded back to the kitchen, completely lost for words.
