The Most Amazing Proposition Ever!

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The Mane Six, and their friends including Pinkie’s mirror pool clone, Diane were in Las Pegasus, pulling some shenanigans. With some ponies playing slot machines, Pinkie and Diane trying to make it big, Rarity dealing with a lurker, and Spike, Starlight, & Rainbow Dash getting ready for their wedding.

At a craps table, Stormy Flare and her fiancé, Windrider...both close friends of the Wonderbolts, and Windrider being one himself...were on a big role, and the Hoofingtons were with them. Also, while they were playing, there was a whole crowd of people there! Don’t ask WHY or HOW they attracted a crowd of ponies there! It’s just Vegas! Sheesh! :)

Stormy Flare was rolling the dice, and so far, she was on a role! “All right baby, come on!” She said she rolled the dice. “Yes! Yes! I am on fire!” Everyone was cheering, including Windrider and the Hoofingtons as well.

Stormy was about to roll again. “A new pair of shoes for my Windy!” She said excitedly and competitive. She rolled the dice. “Yes!”

Windrider was excited that Stormy was on a roll. “Yes! I've-I've never seen a roll like this in my life!” He said happily.

“Neither have we.” Mrs. Hoofington said, smiling while her husband nodded in agreement.

“We’re just happy that you two lovebirds are having fun!” Mr. Hoofington said happily. “And from the looks of it, you managed to attract a large crowd of ponies as well!” He pointed to the crowd watching them.

“I Know!” Windrider said happily like Monica Geller would.

“You better believe it, baby!” Stormy said lovingly to him. She got ready to roll before turning to Windrider. “Okay, what do I want now?”

“Okay, ah umm, ah, a 8. Ah, a 6?“ Windrider asked nervously.

“Pick a number!” Stormy reminded him. “That is your only job!”

Windrider thought for a moment, until finally he decided on a number. “8.” He said. “8!“

“Thank you!” Stormy said contentedly.

“If you get this one, we buy everybody here a steak dinner!” Windrider said. This made the crowd cheer excitedly. “Yay!” Everyone cheered.

Mrs. Hoofington piqued up, because she loved steak dinners! “Ooh! A steak dinner!” She said, as she turned seductively to her husband lovingly. “You know I love those hun!” Her husband gulped nervously and nodded “Yes.” As he knew that she loved those dinners and he loved spending time with her during those dinners on their night out.

At the table, Barker was rolling the numbers, and got to the number Stormy rolled. “8!” He called out.

“Yes!” Stormy cried out overjoyed that her number was chosen. The Hoofingtons smiled as they saw Stormy celebrate in their moment of success.

“Yay!” Everyone else cheered.

Stormy turned to face Windrider “We're not really gonna buy these ponies steak dinners are we?” She asked.

“Noo!” He said, which made her sigh in relief.

“Okay, good!” She said. She was ready to make another decision. “Okay, what do I want now?”

“Ahh, ooh.” Windrider thought hard, and finally he decided. “Try a hard 8.” He said to her.

“What?” Stormy asked confused.

“Two fours.” Mr. Hoofington suggested.

“Okay.“ Stormy rolled the dice, and Barker collected them and got to the number.

“8!” He called out.

“Don't you let her go!” Mr. Hoofington cheered him on. “You're a lucky guy!”

Thank you, Mr. Hoofington!” Windrider told him. “Okay, you get this and uh, we get the biggest suite in the place!” Everyone cheered. Windrider stopped and realized something. “Wait-wait-wait-wait! We get the biggest suite in the place.“ He motioned to Stormy Flare and him as he said that.

“Ooh! That’s interesting!” Mrs. Hoofington said as she hugged her husband close to her. “Do it! Do it!”

“All right, biggest suite in the place.” Stormy said. “Come on!” She rolled the dice, and Windrider saw that she made it.

“Yes!! I love you!” Windrider said in excitement as he kissed Stormy, which made everyone say, “Awwwww!” In excitement while The Hoofingtons blushed and smiled at them lovingly. “I can't even remember what we were fighting about!“

“Me neither!” Stormy said in excitement. She was ready to make another move. “Okay, what do I want now?”

“Another hard 8.” Mr. Hoofington suggested.

“Hard 8?!” Stormy asked in shock. “We should call it easy 8!”

Windrider thought about this, and his mind was instantly made up for him. “Okay, okay, I tell you what.” He said to her. “You roll another hard eight...” he paused for a second as he thought about what to say. Finally, he was ready to make his move! “...and we get married here tonight.“ Stormy was shocked and surprised that he told her his plan.

“Go! Come on! Roll!” Mr. Hoofington pressured him.

“Roll-roll!!” The whole crowd of ponies in this room said to him.

“Shut up!!” Mrs. Hoofington said to the crowd, shushing them. “It just got interesting!”

“What did you just say?” Stormy asked, shocked and excited about Windrider’s plan.

“You roll another hard eight and we get married here tonight.” Windrider recapped his plan to her.

Stormy was surprised. “Are you serious?!” she asked.

“Yes!” Windrider confessed his love for her. “I love you! I've never loved anybody as much as I love you, Stormy Flare!” He smiled heartwarmingly at her.

“I've never loved anybody as much as I love you, Windrider.” Stormy Flare said in her shocked state as a loving smiled slowly, but sweetly formed on her face.

“Okay, so if an eight comes up, you two take it as a sign and you do it!” Mr. Hoofington said as he walked up to them, encouraging them to do it. “What do you say?” He asked them excitedly.

The two looked in each other’s eyes and were shocked, and then smiled lovingly. “Okay!” They both said.

“Then, let’s do it!” Mr. Hoofington said as he and his wife got ready to watch Windrider make his move.

“Okay! Come on! Let's go! All right!” Mrs. Hoofington encouraged as she watched them out their plan in motion.

Stormy executed her move as she rolled the dice! But, one die fell off the table.

Windrider spotted one of the dice. “Okay! That's a four!” He said which made the Hoofingtons and the crowd cheer. “And where-where's the other one?”

Barker looked down and saw where the other die was. “It went under the table.” He said, pointing to where it was.

“Nobody move!” Windrider said to the whole crowd, as he turned to Stormy Flare. “Okay, you look that way. I'll look this way!”

“All right!” Stormy said as she started to search for the die.

Windrider searched to his right, while Stormy, herself, was searching to her left. They were both on their hooves and knees when they finally spotted the die. It was propped up against the table leg, and it wasn’t lying flat. Both the four and the five were showing.

“Here it is! Here it is!” Windrider called out as he found the die.

Stormy came over to him and saw that it was propped up against the table leg. Both numbers were showing. “That could be a four or a five.” She told him. “It's your call.”

Windrider looked at the die, and the side the four was facing. He thought about it and decided. “It's a four.” he said.

“I think so too.” Stormy said as well. The two looked at each other, and smiled lovingly as they moved their way in for the most passionate kiss in fanfic history. (Well, not really, since Twilight and Fluttershy BEAT them to the punch 6 stories earlier! But, what they Hay?!)

As they kissed, a song by Perry Como was playing as it said. “Everybody loves somebody, sometime! Everybody falls in love somehow! Something in your kiss, just told me, my sometime, is now!“ They had made it! They were finally, and actually going to get married here tonight! Unbeknownst to them, three OTHER individuals were also about to get married at the same place Stormy and Windy were going to be at. But, that’s for another chapter coming up.

Rarity, meanwhile was having problems of her own with a lurker, while she was at the casino. They saw a pony who was not having ANY luck with the slot machines, and both Rarity and the lurker were lurking him from every side, sticking their heads around their corner at different times.

Finally the pony gave up and walked past the lurker's position, thus giving her the advantage. She scurried in and quickly drops a coin in the slot before Rarity got there. Rarity then arrives slightly later and pulls the arm just after the lurker deposits the coin and she won! She couldn’t believe it! “I won! I won!” Rarity said in glee. “I finally won!” She was wondering if this was all a dream.

“I won!” The lurker said in shock at her. “That was my quarter!“

“Fine!” Rarity said. She looked around for a quarter, and saw one. She gave it to the lurker. “Here! Take a hike toots!”

Unfortunately, at that moment, a security guard approached the slot machines where they were. The jig was up for Rarity. “What seems to be the problem?” The security guard asked.

“This lady played my quarter!” The lurker said, pointing to the jackpot angrily. “This is my money!”

“Is that true, miss?” The guard asked, turning to Rarity, who was nervous that the guard was facing her.

Rarity was nervous. But, after she looked at the angry lurker, she finally said something. “Sells drugs to kids.” she whispered quietly.

The guard didn’t catch all of that. “What?!” He asked.

Rarity cleared her throat. “She sells drugs to kids.” she said in her normal talking volume.

The guard glared at the lurker, who spat out. “It was my quarter!”

The guard turned to her again. “Was it her quarter?” he asked.

Rarity didn’t know what to expect. She suddenly remembered her advice to Fluttershy about not being a “doormat” and decided to try it out for herself. “Hold it right there, Mister small and handsome.” she said to the guard, sweetly. “How about flexing some of your muscles for me?”

“Okay lady, you're out of here.” the guard said, as he slapped the cuffs on her.

Rarity was flabbergasted and shocked that this was happening. “No! No, you can't arrest me!” She said, horrified. “No!! I won't go back! I won't go back to Tartarus!!!”

The guard was confused. “I'm just taking you outside!” he said calmly to her.

“Oh, okay.” she said, as she pouted and was taken outside of the casino.

At that moment, Fluttershy came IN to the casino room. “Hey, Rarity!” She said. “I think I found the art exhibit.” She looked around for Rarity, but she was nowhere to be found. “Rarity?” She asked. “Where are you?” She then heard a scream and looked to see Rarity being taken outside by the security guard.

Fluttershy was shocked at this. “I gotta tell Twilight!” She said as she raced over to find her wife.

Twilight was at the tiki bar, having a mojito drink with Moody Root, nearby the pool. “So, then I told him...if you snooze, you lose!” Moody Root said hysterically, as he laughed. Twilight hiccuped as she laughed.

“Well, I gotta say, this is one hell of a shindig we’re having here, Moody!” Twilight said happily and part-drunk. “Looky what the bartenderers gave us!”

“Well, Twilight, ol’ pal...” Moody Root told her. “...I may have never been to many extravagant places like this one, but this is the best night ever!”

“I know!” Twilight said happily! “I just wish it would never end.”

“How about we make a toast?” Moody said as he poured tequila in his glass and Twilight’s. “To a great stay in Las Pegasus!” He raised his glass.

“To a great stay in Las Pegasus!” Twilight said as she raised her glass and they clinked and drank the contents inside their glasses. At that moment, Fluttershy flew by and caught their attention.

“Twilight!” Fluttershy said in alarm.

“GAH!” Twilight said as she flopped flat on her face on the Tiki bar counter. She got back up. “Look I KNOW you can be anywhere, but would you just TAP me on the shoulder?!” She asked angrily.

“Fluttershy?” Moody Root asked drunk. “What’s a little feller like you doing here?”

“Rarity’s been arrested!” Fluttershy alerted them.

This sent the two drunk ponies out of their state and in shock. “WHAT?!” They asked.

“I was trying to find Rarity to the art exhibit, and I saw her being taken away by some security guard!” Fluttershy explained.

“We gotta find her!” Twilight said as she and her wife left quickly.

“I’m right behind you!” Moody Root said, as he left the money on the counter to pay the bartender and went to find their friend.

Meanwhile, Windrider, his soon-to-be wife, Stormy Flare and the Hoofingtons were at the gift shop, wondering what to get the two Pegasus lovebirds for their Vegas wedding. They were already looking for clothes.

“Okay, come on!” Stormy said, seriously. “I can't get married until I get something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.“

“Okay, all right, all right, all right!” Windrider looked around for something new and blue, and came across a sweater. “Okay!” He said, showing it to her. “Okay, here's something, here's something blue and new.”

Stormy saw it, and her heart fluttered. “You're so efficient. I love you!” she said to him.

“Let's go!” Windrider said, just as he was stopped by his fiancée and Mrs. Hoofington.

“No-no-no!” Mrs. Hoofington said, pulling him back in. “We need something old!”

“Ohh, great.” He groaned. Suddenly, he remembered something. “Gallus had a condom in his wallet he had since Twilight’s wedding.”

“That'll work!“ Stormy piped up, excitedly.

“I don't think so.” Mr. Hoofington said, nervous and unsure of all this.

“Okay, now we just need something borrowed!” Mrs. Hoofington said, to finish off the collection of things they needed before they got married.

Windrider looked around, and saw the sweater. “Here just…take this.” He said, handing it to her.

Stormy was shocked that he was handing it to her like that. “That's stealing!” she said in shock.

“Actually, no.” Mrs. Hoofington said, as she slipped her credit card through. “I just paid for it.”

“Oh, well that’s not a problem now.” Stormy said with a sigh of relief.

“Just put it under your dress.” Mr. Hoofington said, as Stormy did so, which made her look pregnant under her purple dress.

“Ohh.” she said, as she rubbed her “fake stomach.”

“Okay, one thing at a time.” Windrider said, as he, Stormy, and the Hoofingtons left to go to the Little White Chapel to get married. Little did they know, they would run into a certain purple alicorn and her friends, trying to find THEIR white unicorn friend, who just got arrested.

Meanwhile, Pinkie Pie and her mirror pool clone sister, Diane were at the Blackjack table trying to move in, and get the guard to get them to execute their “evil plan to rule the world as Father and daughters! :)” (Sorry, I had a little Star Wars mention in there—Ooh, I have a big spoiler for The Phantom Menace, Yoda lives at the end! Ha-ha, spoiled it! Now you don't have to see it! Anyways, back to the story!)

They both put each of their hooves down on the table. “Ahhh!” They both said, as they slid their hooves on said table.

“Are you gonna play?” The guard asked, after coming up to them.

“No-no, I don't really have any money.” Pinkie said, as she winked to Diane.

Diane caught the wink and smiled to her. “Not yet, anyway…” she said sneakily.

“You two can't sit here if you're not gonna play.” The guard said to them.

The pies responded by putting down a wad of money. The guard unfolded it, and the two once again brought their special gift to the world. “Ooh-ho-ho!” They both said in unison. The guard just looked at them and stopped.

Just then, both Flim and Flam came over to them. “Hello. Would you like to see our cards?” Flim said, as he showed the guard their cards. “Ooh, what did We do with our file-a-facts? My brother and I must've left it in conference room B.”

“14.” Diane said, not paying attention to what they just said and getting out a deck of cards.

“Hit me!” Pinkie said. Diane did so, and they saw that their gift has just been shown to the Flim Flam Brothers.

Both brothers were shocked and amazed by what they saw! “Sweet Celestia!” Flim said.

“Well, what do you know, Brother?” Flam said in agreement. “May I just say that you two mares have the exact same hooves! They're identical! Now, we’ve never seen anything like that in the business world.”

The two sisters blushed at their compliment. “Thank you.” They said.

“You’re quite welcome!” Flim said to them.

“Uhh, Flim, may we ask you a question as impartial ponies at-at this table?” Diane asked.

“And that is?” Flam asked.

“Wouldn't you pay good money to see these identical hands showcased in some type of a uh, entertainment venue?” Pinkie asked, finishing Diane’s question.

“If you two separated now, You will chop off your hooves and give them to each other!” Flim said jokingly, which made the sisters cringe in embarrassment. “Oh, we’re not talking literally. We’re talking about how we’d hate to see such a tragic thing like that happen to you.” He said embarrassed.

Just then, the security guard that took Rarity away came right to the four ponies. The sisters tried to turn their back on him.

The brothers took notice, and tried to comfort them. “It’s the Po-Po.” Flim whispered. “Be cool!”

The guard looked at them. “What is going on here, sirs?”

They looked at the guard nervously, and they could tell the jig was up. “Uh, we were just talking about entertaining our hooves and presenting them at an entertainment venue!” Pinkie said nervously.

“Yeah!” Diane giggled nervously as well. “An entertainment venue! Yay?”

“Come on, lady!“ the guard said, as he grabbed Pinkie and slapped the cuffs on her. “I’m taking you too!” He did the same to Diane and dragged them both out.

Pinkie and Diane were both shocked at what was happening before their eyes! “Us?! Oh come on, man!” Pinkie gasped.

“You can't do this! Come on!” Diane pleaded. “We’re hoof twins!!” They were thrown out of the casino and landed on their bellies.

They both got back up from their recent kick-out. “Well, this couldn’t possibly get any worse.” Pinkie said to her twin as Diane nodded as well.

“Pinkie?” A voice asked. The twins turned to see that it was Rarity, and she was out like they were.

“You too?” Pinkie asked shocked.

“You know this mare?” Diane asked. Pinkie nodded. “Huh? Small world.”

“Yes, she does.” Rarity told them. “And, who are you?”

“Well, this is a bit awkward.” Diane confessed, as she wondered how she was going to break this to Rarity that she was Her long lost hoof twin!

Meanwhile, inside the casino, the Barrel twins and Cozy saw that Pinkie and Diane were BOTH thrown out and they were shocked. “Okay...did you just SEE what happened?!” Pickle asked.

Barley was shocked as he was. “I think so!” She said. “I think Pinkie Pie got arrested!”

“Golly! We gotta get some help!” Cozy said. The Barrels nodded as they zoomed to find some help.

They raced all over the casino and after a few minutes of zooming, they bumped into a butterscotch, purple and crimson blur, colliding for impact. The blurs felt a little dizzy as they got up. But once they did, the twins instantly recognized them as...

“Take that, you guard!” Pickle said, punching what he thought was the guard. “And that! And that! And...” he stopped when he saw who he really punched was... “Twilight! It’s you!” He said in shock.

“Yeah, it’s us!” Twilight told them as she got back up. “But, Rarity’s been arrested!”

“Pinkie got taken away too!” Barley said in shock.

Twilight and the others were on full panic attack as they heard this news. “What?!” Twilight said. “Oh no! Not Pinkie too!!!”

“I know!” Cozy said. “We saw what happened!”

“I can’t believe they got taken away from us like this!” Twilight said, as she was going into her full “Twilighting” mode. “We may never get the back in here!”

Fluttershy, on the other hand, was thinking about this calmly and thoroughly. “Twilight.” She said. “We just got to find a way to get them back here.”

“But, how?!” Twilight asked in horror.

At that moment, they saw the entrance to the casino, and saw the guards stationed there. “Oh.” Twilight said. “How come we didn’t notice that?”

“Well, don’t just stand there!” Moody Root said as he was ready to use the ol’ go go go! “We got our friends to get back!” The others nodded as they all went to get to the entrance to their friends.

They stopped at the security guards. “I have to get through this entrance!” She told them.

“Sorry, Ma’am.” The guard said. “No one beyond this point.”

“But, we have friends waiting for us out there!” Fluttershy pleaded.

“It’s all right.” The guard said. “Your friends can go without you for a long time.”

“At this rate...” Twilight said, checking her watch. “Probably an hour.”

Meanwhile, Pinkie, Rarity and Diane were standing outside the casino, and were coming up with a plan to sneak back in. "Okay, we have to think of a plan to get back in there, Darlings!" Rarity said with determination and anger in her voice. :I can't let that lurker win, it's me against her!"

"Okay, come on!" Diane said, trying to calm her down. "We'll think of a plan!"

"But that security guy is standing at the door!" Pinkie said, pointing to said guard.

"Do you want me to knock him out, Girls?" Diane asked, getting her hooves up and herself in a fighting position, ready to fight.

"No thanks, Diane." Rarity told her. "But, I have a plan!"

At that moment, Twilight, Fluttershy, the Barrel Twins, Cozy Glow and Moody Root came out the door, and were happy to have found their friends! Twilight was the first to break the silence. "Girls? What's going on here?" she asked.

"Twilight, Darling!" Rarity told her. "I got arrested for whatever I did...stealing a lurker's quarter!"

Twilight was now shocked. "What? RARITY?!" she asked.

"And Diane and I got thrown out for harassing a guard!" Pinkie said as Diane nodded.

"Pinkie!" Twilight said in anger. "Why did you do that?! And, who the heck is Diane?" She asked curiously.

Diane facehoofed. "Why does everypony ask me that?" She was exasperated.

"Would Everybody just relax for a second?" Fluttershy asked. Just then, they all took notice, and saw a make pony doing something strange to a female pony inside the casino!

"This is the last time I take you two to Las Pegasus." Twilight groaned in frustration to the girls that got kicked out.

"We can live with that." Pinkie said, calm after taking a deep breath.

"Honestly, Pinkie Darling..." Rarity started to tell them.

Suddenly, Barley shouted at the shrill top of her lungs, "OH MY GOD! THAT MAN IS KILLING HER!" THAT caught the security guard's attention as he rushed over to them.

"What ma'am?" he asked to them. He suddenly took notice of the Alicorn. "Princess Twilight!" he gasped as he bowed down. "What brings you here to Las Pegasus?"

Twilight was nervous and tried to say something, but Barley cut in. "We just saw a man drag a poor defenseless woman behind that corner." she tried to explain.

The guard turned to face Barley with a serious expression. "Right, Lady that's a terrible excuse." he said. "C'mon, give me a little credit."

"Your right, I'm sorry." Twilight pleaded. "Look c'mon I'm sorry, could you please give our friends here another chance?" She and the others smiled toward the officer, who had a stone expression on his face.

After looking at their smiling puppy-dog faces for a few seconds, he sighed. "Okay, but I don't want to hear about any of you for the rest of the night." he said calm to them. "Go on in." he gestured them in the casino.

"Thank you!" Everyone said as they rushed back in.

As they went inside, Rarity caught a glimpse of the lurker, as she saw a pony leave one of the slot machines. They met eye to eye, as they tried to get to the slot machine. The lurker, however, got there first and the fashionista seethed with anger as she pulled the lever and received the jackpot.

"I won! I won, ha ha ha!" The lurker said happily. She was about to collect the money when the security guard came up to her, much to Rarity's surprise and delight.

"Excuse me, ma'am, I'd like to escort you off the premises." The guard said to her. He slapped the cuffs on her, rendering her speechless.

"But, but, I did..." The Lurker said in shock as she was escorted off the premises and out of the casino.

"Yeah. Bye, Toots." The guard says as she was thrown out.

Rarity seized this chance to collect her money from the machine. "Yeah!" She said, in a manner like Gollum from Lord of the Rings would say. "No one messes with me!"

"Come on, Rarity!" Her friends said impatiently, as she was pulled by the arm by them, and the money in her right arm to join her friends at the center.

They met up with Applejack, Sunny, Petunia, Torque, & Kerfluffle in the Center, waiting for the others. Applejack was overjoyed. “Oh, thank Celestia we found ya!” Applejack said with relief.

“We were worried they’d take ya to jail, don’t ya know?” Petunia said as well.

“Well, at least we got them back in!” Twilight said with relief as she gave Pinkie, Diane and Rarity a death stare. The mares just giggled nervously, while some just whistled off to the side.

“We’re just glad you are all safe!” Sunny said. “That’s what matters!”

“Yeah! We found them!” Moody Root said happily. “Speaking of which, we got a wedding to go to tonight, don’t we? What time have you got, Twilight?”

Twilight gasped in realization as they knew that Rainbow’s wedding was tonight! She checked her watch and saw that it was almost 8:00 PM. “Oh, wow!” Twilight said in surprise. “The wedding’s tonight!”

“We’ll go check on the girls and guy!” Barley said, as she, Cozy and Pickle started to lift off!

“Sounds great!” Twilight told them. “Bring them back when you find them.”

“Okay!” The barrel twins and Cozy said as they flew off to Rainbow’s room to find the two soon-to-be-wed lovebirds.

“I mean, I knew our guest of honor was awesome, but I never thought all of Hope Hollow depended on her!” Petunia said in excitement.

“Or that she’s getting married!” Kerfluffle said in glee.

“I’m so proud of my former pupil.” Twilight told them. “She and Rainbow Dash, as well as Spike were meant for each other. And if we didn’t allow it, Starlight would never have gotten knocked up...” her friends looked at her funny as she blushed. She changed the subject. “...I meant, they never would have been able to find their true love. But, I’m glad they were!”

“I can't believe their finally gettin’ married!” Applejack said, as she wiped a tear from her eye.

“I thought she’d get married to Sunburst.” Pinkie piped up. “But, it turns out Rainbow Dash was the one.”

“I know the marriage wasn’t exactly what her parents wanted...SPOILER ALERT!” She spoke to the readers...TWILIGHT?! How in Equestria did you break the fourth wall?! I thought only Pinkie Pie could do that! With you, you’re just unpredictable! You...I...never mind. Let’s get back to our story.

“I think Spike and them would make a great couple.” She said as a tear slipped through her eye. “I’m just so happy that Starlight has a lifelong, that she now calls her lover. And I bet that whatever they’re up to, they’ll have a nice long life...together.”

“But if she and Rainbow are in love, along with Spike, we can't just get Spike to dump your ‘Royal Advisor title’, can we?” Kerfluffle asked.

“Actually, I think we kind of have something else in mind.” Twilight said as she smiled to her friends, who smiled at her too.

At that moment, Cozy and the Barrel twins came back in a frantic panic to the others. “Twilight! Twilight!” Pickle shouted. “Rainbow, Starlight and Spike aren’t in the room!”

This caught the attention of the whole group as they were shocked and were trying to process all that was happening. “WHAT?!” Everyone shouted in horror.

“We went to their room like you asked, but they weren’t there!” Cozy said frantic.

“Let’s go!” Twilight said. They all rushed to their room in a mad panic, and Applejack bucked down the door, only to find out that they were not there.

The ponies were shocked that they weren’t there. “Well, look at that.” Applejack said. “They ran off.”

“But where too?!” Twilight asked, getting more worried by the minute.

“I don’t know!” Fluttershy said worried as well. “I just wish we knew where they are!”

“You DO realize that the brides and groom still went out on the town, despite having to prepare for the wedding, right?” Torque asked.

Twilight then realized what she must do. She started running to the casino, and to the outskirts of the town as the others followed. “We have to find them as soon as possible!” She said with determination. “They may already be—!”

Suddenly, Twilight slammed into a blue Pegasus with a jacket HARD, as they collapsed to the ground. Twilight got up pretty quickly, but the other pony was slowly trying to recover from the crash. The pony looked at her, and in an instant they recognized themselves as...

“Windrider?” Twilight asked in shock.

“Twilight?!” Windrider asked in shock as well.

“Windrider?!?!” Twilight asked in further shock.

“Twi...” Windrider started, then stopped. “Argh! What are we doing?!”

“Windrider, have you seen Rainbow Dash or Starlight or Spike anywhere?” Rarity asked him with worry.

“I haven’t seen them. Why?” Windrider asked curious.

“We checked their room, and they weren’t there!” Petunia said in shock. “All we found were some booze and some macadamia nuts!”

Pickle then noticed a trail of leaky booze which was leading to outside of the chapel. He wondered where it led to. “Uh, never mind that.” He said. “But, it appears there was a trail of booze on the carpet leading to outside.” The other took a look at the booze trail, and saw it led to where Pickle was pointing to. “I think I belongs to Rainbow, Starlight and Spike...Unless...”

Windrider and everyone was shocked and they now possibly knew what would happen if that trail DID belong to them! “Eek!” Windrider said in shock. “Unless they already went outside. I know Pinkie told Rainbow not to drink anymore and then they vanished!” He put on a look of brave determination as he knew what would happen if Rainbow, Spike and Starlight did something really crazy and unthinkable. “We have to find them and stop them from hating my guts forever!”

“Aw, Windy.” Mrs. Hoofington said to him calmly. “Rainbow could never hate you.” But the look on his face that spelled imminent doom, made her change her mind as she and everyone else now knew what must be done. “Uh..I see your point. Alright, let’s go!” They all split up in various directions to find their missing, drunk and possibly, soon-to-be-married friends!

They asked various ponies at the place to look for them. However, none of them knew where they were. Twilight, Fluttershy, Moody Root, Sunny & Petunia checked at the auditorium. “Sorry, Girls.” One of the trapeze artists said. “I haven’t seen them.”

Rarity, Pinkie, Diane, Applejack, & Kerfluffle checked in the food court. “Rainbow Dash?” One of the ponies asked. “Not recently.”

The Barrel twins, Cozy & Torque even checked the craps table, and saw Derpy showing them a toy. “Derpon?” She asked them, making them very confused.

Windrider, Stormy Flare and the Hoofingtons were having trouble as well with finding their friends, as they were nowhere to be found. “Rainbow Dash?” Windrider asked frantically. “Starlight, where are you?!”

They all met up, and were getting more worried by the minute. “We haven’t seen them anywhere!” Fluttershy said more frantic.

“It’s like they all left without any trace!” Applejack said, feeling the same as Fluttershy was.

“Where could they be?” Stormy Flare asked worriedly as well. It looked like there would be no way to find them, until Pinkie Pie figured out something.

The others took notice of Pinkie going off randomly like that. “Pinkie!” Kerfluffle asked. “Your Pinkie sense is going on! What could it be?!”

“Oh no!” Torque said, getting worried by the minute. “What does that mean?”

“Dunno, never gotten any like it before.” Pinkie told them. “But, whatever that shudder's about, something you'd never expect to happen is gonna happen!” She went off and shuddered again. Suddenly, her mind clicked and out 2 & 2 together. “And it's gonna happen... at The Little White Chapel!”

Everyone gasped in shock, as they now knew what that meant for their friends. “That must be where our friends are headed!“ Applejack said. “Since the booze points to the place, when I saw out the window and all.”

“Oh no!” Diane said in shock. “Is it about them?”

“I'm not sure.” Pinkie told her mirror pool clone.

“We better go there and find them!” Windrider said as Everypony else nodded in agreement. “You guys go get changed!” He pointed to the Mane 4, Barrel twins, Cozy, Kerfluffle, Sunny, Petunia, Diane, Torque and Moody Root. “We’ll meet you at the White Chapel!” The others nodded as they went off to get ready find them.

“And, you guys come with me!” He said, pointing to the Hoofingtons, and Stormy Flare. They nodded as they left the casino in a hurry, and zoomed over to the Little White Chapel! It was already a hectic night for our friends, but it would soon be one heck of a night for Rainbow, Starlight and Spike that they, along with the others...will never forget!

There would be a crazy wedding for one couple...later, two tonight! And then others were on their way to find their friends, and crash it...before it was too late!
