A Sunset On the Horizon

Anon fixed his suit collar nervously, going over all the lines. He'd never been more nervous in his entire life. This was his big moment. The big day. He could swear his heart was pounding so loud everyone could hear it the next state over. The bell sounded. Now was his time to shine.

He stepped out the door and onto the red carpet, followed shortly after by his soon to be official wife, Sunset Shimmer. Her dress was magnificent. All white and covered with sparkles and gemstones. Her veil lightly concealed the beautiful face underneath. He could see that amazing smile shinning through. They began to walk down the isle, past the pews, as the music played and the flower girls tossed their petals about. They reached center stage.

Rarity stood behind Sunset, her first choice as the Maid of Honor. As Anon was not the biggest social butterfly, his only choice for best man was Applejack, who took the role eagerly. The music died down and the vows began.

"Sunset Shimmer," the priest began "Do you take Anon E. Mouse as your lawfully wedded husband."

"I do." she said

"And do you, Anon E. Mouse, take Sunset Shimmer as your lawfully wedded wife."

"I do."

"Do you together promise you will love, cherish and respect one another throughout the years?"

"I do." they responded in unison

"I, Sunset Shimmer, take you, Anon E. Mouse, to be my husband, my partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day before. I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall live."

"I, Anon E. Mouse, take you to be my wife, to respect you in your successes and in your failures, to care for you in sickness and in health, to nurture you, and to grow with you throughout the seasons of life."

They went through, vow by vow, until the big moment arrived.

"I hereby pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Anon lifted her veil and the two shared a deep kissed, followed by thunderous applause. Rarity could hardly keep herself from crying. The wedding ceremony went on well into the night. It was the most fun he'd ever experience. At the end they sat out by the cemetery overlooking the lake. Sunset leaned against him lovingly.

"That was magical." she said

"It really was." he said "I'm glad... I'm glad this worked out. That day three years ago... I was so sad I thought I'd never come out of it. When Twilight showed me her tablet I swear I nearly jumped all the way to heaven."

"You know I never did get an answer. How were you able to craft a power core able to sustain me?"

"It wasn't easy. Applejack went through day and night trying to craft it. There's a reason it took over two and a half years to put it together. Though I doubt she's mad. She did win an award with it after all. The most efficient power core ever devised. You know she's retiring next year right?"

"Is that so?"

"Yep. She says she'll still help service you when need be." he said "What was it like? Being confined to a book tablet?"

"It was certainly something to get used too. I hated not being able to move about and only being able to speak through text."

They both fell silent, staring out across the moonlit lake

"So what do we do now?" Sunny asked

"Well we still have the honeymoon."

"Yeah but that's three weeks away. I mean right now, now."

Anon got a devilish smile

"Are you able to get wet?"

"Yes. Thanks to the improvements Aj made to my chassis, I'm completely waterproof now."

"Well then, what do you say to a bit of moonlight skinny dipping?"

Sunset snorted

"Oh yeah. Remember what happened last time? You came down with a cold."

"How could I forget? We snuggled together while I told you scary stories. I could go for getting another cold again for a change to snuggle."

She kissed his nose

"You know, you don't have to get sick to get snuggles from me. You can just ask."

"Come on Sunset. What do you say?"

"Fine, fine. But don't say I didn't warn you."

Anon began to take off his suit. Felt good to air out after spending so long in that stuffy thing. Sunset, however, was not fairing so well. She was wearing an actual dress, not doing the whole reskin trick she liked to do. Rarity simply insisted that she wear and actual hard fabric dress.

"A little help please." she said

Anon happily obliged, carefully pulling off each piece of the puzzle that was a wedding dress. Sunset covered her now nude body with her hands and Anon hugged her tight.

"It's been three years since we've seen one another naked." he said

"It's so embarrassing!"

"Sunset, a lady as good looking as you should be flaunting that body."

The two of them kissed.

"Shall we take a swim beautiful?"

"Lets."

The two ran down into the lake, sealing what would be the start of a long lasting, stronger than gravity relationship.
