Yak Marriage

Yona and Spike speed through the town, Upon making it to sweet Apple acres they found Granny Smith standing out front waiting for them.

"Well, it's about time," The Old mare said as she turned away from the road "Yall are 10 minutes late,"

"We overslept," Spike replied with a shrug from his perch on Yona's shoulder "Or we stayed up too late?"

"We did both," Yona decided as they made their way down the dirt road. Granny stopped at the door of the barn and leaned against it.

"You two head on inside, I'm the lookout, just in case Twilight or somepony similar to her comes a looking for ya," Yona and Spike opened the Barn door and a dozen sets of hands pulled them inside before slamming the door, Yona and Spike looked around as the group gave them room, Among them, they spotted the Young 6, The Cutie Mark Crusaders with Gabby included, Fluttershy and her Bear friend Harry, and a few other creatures mixed in.

"Say hello," Applejack said as she broke from the group and waved around "To Your Anti-Wedding Planers," The two were immediately surrounded and broken up, Spike being carried off by the CMC and Yona being taken away by the rest of the Young 6,"

"Oh Spike," Fluttershy said as the CMC Put him down "I'm so sorry, I was happy to hear you were getting married, but when Applejack said it was a forced marriage," Fluttershy gave a swoon before pointing to her bear friend. "Harry here was forced into an arranged marriage, ended up losing everything to that no good-" Fluttershy was cut off as Harry patted her shoulder and she gave a cough. "-I'm sorry, I don't like arranged marriages,"

"Well on the bright side," Spike said pointing to Yona "If we fail to stop this I don't think Yona's gonna take everything I own, though I doubt either of us will be happy with it,"

"Dude," Scootaloo said patting him on the back "How did you even get into this situation?"

"Well, I got one of Rarity's Gossip mags and-" as Spike began explaining to the CMC and Fluttershy how it had gone done Yona was being consoled by the Young 6, though her friends seemed to be arguing about how to do just that.

"It wasn't Spike's fault," Smolder said in an exasperated tone "Honestly if he hadn't said the word marriage we'd probably all still be stuck in that room with our leaders yelling at each other,"

"But he was the one he said it," Sandbar replied "I'm just saying, we just need to replace Yona with a Female Yak that-"

"Let me guess," Gallus said giving Sandbar the stink eye "With a Female Yak we don't know so we don't feel bad about it?"

"Ok so my plan isn't that good," Sandbar said "but come on, Why should Yona have to deal with this when it was Spike's fault,"

"Maybe we could just hide Spike in the Changling Hive," Ocellus suggested "Thorax would love to have him, think he enjoys Spike a little too much if you get my meaning,"

"Ya, I think everyone's noticed that," Galus replied.

"Yona what do you think? Sandbar asked turning to her "This is Spike's fault isn't it?" before she could respond to that there was a loud tapping and the residents of the bar turned the wall opposite the door and saw Applejack banging a gavel.

"Alright Everypony, we'll have time for ideal chit chat later, as you all know Yona and Spike are about to be forced into a commitment that should only be done for love, not to help save two stubborn creatures their own pride, Now before we really get started I would like to thank each and every one of you for coming, none of you had to do this, but please remember the Pinkie Promise you all made to not mention this meeting or any other of it's kind outside of this barn," Applejack banged her Gavel and called out. "Now, we need ideas on how to disrupt the wedding, and try and be creative, we're working against quite a few Princesses," At once there was an outburst of Ideas from the crowd.

"One at a time," Applejack cried out, banging the Gavel and waiting for the shouting to stop, "Alright if you have an idea raise your hoof, claw, or other such appendages in the air," In one motion almost every creature in the barn did just that, even Harry the Bear had his paw raised. Applejack looked around for a second before picking at Random. "Ok, um, Sandbar what have you got?"

"Well, this was Spike's fault right?" That was met with some mixed feelings from the crowd, "So I'm just thinking, it's only fair he goes and asks for a different Yak to be wed to him, one who's ok with it,"

"And what would we tell Cadance or any other pony not in this barn?" There was a moment of silence before Sandbar flattened his ears and sat down.

"Ok raise 'em up!" Applejack called out, she looked around for a second before sighing "I'll never be able to live myself if I don't find this out, Bear what is your idea?" The Bear gave a few growls then looked down at Fluttershy, who cleared her throat and translated.

"Harry thinks that we should bring a few Parasprits to the wedding," there was a murmur from the crown and Applejack banged her Gavel.

"Show of appendages, who agrees with Harry the bear?" After a second the mass majority of the Barn raised in agreement, "Alright, Harry you and Fluttershy form a group and gather some Parasprits close to the wedding date, We've got an inside pony who will help you smuggle them to the wedding, and Make sure you bring the instrument requirements so we don't leave the Crystal empire with a Parasprit problem," Applejack banged her Gavel one more "Alright who else has an idea?"

The Anti-Wedding Planner meeting was winding down slowly, with groups only being permitted to leave every few minutes to avoid suspicion. The only ones left, save for Applejack, was the Young 6 along with Spike.

"I mean if you really think about it, it was kind of your fault," Silverstream said as she scratched her chin "Though I guess by that logic if you think about it too much it's more Ember and Rutherford's fault, but still,"

"So," Sandbar said awkwardly "You still on for next Saturday?"

"Of course," Yona said earning a smile from Sandbar before adding "But Spike will have to come to,"

"What?" Sandbar and Spike asked in unison.

"No offense," Smolder said patting Spike on the back "But your betrothed going to Dinner with only one of her guy friends alone might look a tad fishy,"

"But their friends," Spike shot back "It's not a date,"

"True," Yona said earning a frown from Sandbar "But better safe than sorry," There was a knock on the Bar door and the group went silent before two more rapid succession knocks followed it.

"Bucking good?" Applejack called out.

"Eeyup," Big Mac replied through the door.

"Alright, Spike and Yona it's your turn to leave, The rest of you can leave when Bigmac gets back," Yona picked Spike up like he was nothing and placed him on her shoulder, the two waved before heading out the door, a few seconds after it was closed Gallus and Smolder started chuckling.

"You thought it was a date," he said turning to Sandbar who turned his back to him.

"Shut up," He snapped back "And no I was hoping it would turn into one,"

"Fat chance with Spike tagging along," Smolder replied with a chuckle.
