//-------------------------------------------------------// The Crushes That Bind -by TheSuperTransformerFan- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Scaly Rainbow Stars //-------------------------------------------------------// Author's Note And, here it is! My newest entry in the Cosmos love stories arc. So, a lot of you are wondering...how DID Spike, Rainbow Dash & Starlight Glimmer do it before the big six time wedding? Well, sit back and relax, ‘cause you’re about to find out! Scaly Rainbow Stars Starlight and her friends, Rainbow Dash and Spike were just talking about their friend’s wedding and how the pies were trying to get Twilight and Celestia & Luna’s families to agree on the bill. Rainbow was already embarrassed about her speech to her friend before the big day, but something unexpected would happen. Something...starry skied and special! You see a few stories ago, Firelight and Stellar Flare were thinking that Starlight would get married to her pen pal, Sunburst. But, what they didn’t know was that something else would happen instead. “Oh, my Dad’s right.” Starlight said, embarrassed to her friends. “I'm never going to get married.” Both Rainbow Dash and Spike couldn’t believe their ears. They didn’t think that sounded true. “Ahh, you know what? That is....Who wouldn't want you?” Rainbow asked. “Ohh, Please?! I'm a single mom, with a baby dragon son and a wonderbolt rainbow maned sister!!” Starlight said sarcastically. The two looked at each other. It didn’t sound right or so, but maybe they could work something out with their starry time travelling friend. “What?!” Rainbow said shocked. “NO WAY! I’m not your sister, and Spike’s like a brother to you, but biologically, he’s not your son. And biologically, I’m not related to you.” This made Starlight want to cry in her hooves sadly. “Sorry, Starlight.” She said. “That came out all wrong.” “How would it come out wrong?!” Starlight spat out angrily. “I might not even FIND the love of my life, and if I do, I might get Sunburst for all I know. I just feel like there’s no one to even love me for who I am!” She cried her eyes out as she blew on a Kleenex. “Starlight, you should be happy!” Spike said to her. “Your teacher, Twilight is getting married to Fluttershy, and you’ll be there to help! There’s nothing wrong with that!” “Yeah!” Rainbow said in agreement. “And Discord is getting to married to the two planet-raising princesses! Sure it may sound chaotic, but you know, they do love each other to Discord’s dimension and back!” Starlight Glimmer started to stop crying and was listening to her friends. “And Pinkie’s getting married to Zecora, AJ’s marrying her brother, and Rarity’s marrying Cadence!” Spike finished. “What is there to be sad about?” Starlight smiled to her friends. “I guess you’re right.” She said. “I mean it’s not like I’ll never get married. I probably will find my special somepony. I just gotta wait till the right time comes.” “Way to step it up, Star!” Rainbow said in excitement. “Well, I gotta get ready for bed. I don’t want to get too tired if I’m gonna be the reverend.” Starlight and Spike both yawned as they too were tired. “Yeah. Good idea, Rainbow Dash.” Starlight said. “We’ll get to bed. Come on, Spike.” “I could take you guys up there with me?” Rainbow suggested. “I mean our room is next door, so.” “Oh?” Starlight asked curiously. “Okay. Let’s just head back to the Crystal Hotel.” They left the rehearsal dinner hall and went back to the hotel. They went up to the Skyview level and went to room 3 which was Rainbow’s room, and room 2 was Spike and Starlight’s. “Well, here we are.” Rainbow said as she went back in her room. “Good night, y’all.” “Goodnight.” Starlight said as she and Spike both went in their room and got to bed. At first, Starlight and Spike drifted off into a peaceful sleep, but then, Starlight felt molten lead through her thighs as a puddle formed between her legs. She bolted awake. “What the?! Oh man!“ she said nervously. “Why won’t it stop?!” Starlight Glimmer shrieked in frustration, her voice echoing throughout the hotel’s empty hallway. She thought that reading might have been enough to keep her mind off of her aroused state, but her rapidly winking clit seemed had other ideas. It unfolded and retracted each second, further kindling the fire deep within her nethers, and botched any concentration that she might otherwise have had. Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash was feeling the same thing in her legs as she turned her body to the left and to the right. She groaned as she sat up. “Stupid heat.” She muttered. Starlight was so uncomfortable as she felt hot heat through her legs. She left her room and went to Rainbow’s room. Rainbow opened it and saw that her friend was uncomfortable. The wonderbolt, herself was also uncomfortable. "Rainbow Dash, I have to tell you something." Starlight said with her heat driving her insane. "Me too, Starlight." Rainbow Dash said as her heat burned up as well. "I'm in heat." They said in near perfect unison. “Well, what in Equestria ARE we going to do about this?!” Rainbow Dash asked. Just then, Starlight had an idea as she smirked devilishly, looking toward Spike as he was a few meter behind her. Rainbow saw, and smirked devilish too. They had an idea for the perfect plan! It had to work! They looked at each other, exchanging grins. Deciding to put their plan in motion, they asked, "Spike? Can you come up with us to our room?" Spike woke up, still feeling a little tired. “Uh, wha?” He asked. “Girls, it’s time to go to bed.” “We know, Spike.” Rainbow Dash said, giving him bedroom eyes. “And you’re a good friend. But, what if we want to be more than friends?” Spike sighed as he went over to Rainbow’s room and sat on her bed. “Don’t say something like that when you’re in heat, Rainbow.” He said. “We’re serious, Spike. You’re a great awesome guy.” Starlight told him. “You always lookout for your friends and always be there when we need you.” She held her “breasts” toward Spike as Rainbow held hers. Both were covered by their fur coat in their bodies. Spike took the opportunity to shamelessly ogle his friends’ tits. They looked pretty beautiful when they stood up in figure...but, damn! Their breasts were jaw-dropping, huge and round. His head snapped up to meet their eyes but they smirked at him, as if they’d caught him looking. They're pretty big, aren't they?" Rainbow said. "Any of the crusaders have boobs this big?" "N-no," Spike stammered. "Have you spent a lot of time staring at those girls?" Starlight asked seductively “Or just staring at us?” “What?!" Spike asked shocked. "Oh, don't be embarrassed, Spikey.” Rainbow said. "Starlight and I both remember what was like to be horny eighteen-year-olds.” Starlight nodded as Rainbow talked. “We used to notice when a handsome stallion was packing something big... especially when he was excited." Spike shifted uncomfortably. He did have a boner - he'd had one for a while - but he thought he was pretty good at hiding it. On the other hand, he was pretty big down there. Most of the time he was proud of that, but sometimes it was... inconvenient. "And it's even easier to tell when the stallion is a hunk of a dragon," Starlight continued, casually walking right up to Spike, putting her hands on the drake’s legs. “Everypony knows how their wings pop up when they're excited... but if you watch them carefully, you can tell when they're fighting to keep their wings under control. When you know what to look for, you can tell when a dragon has got a few crushes... on someone he thinks he shouldn't." Spike’s heart was thumping in his chest. They were messing with him! And they were teasing him, and Spike came to the most reasonable conclusion: They were in heat! He didn't understand why his friends would torture him, but... well, he deserved it. He gulped. His mouth was so dry. Starlight and Rainbow were now too close to him as he could feel their hot breath on him. “Tell us, Spike," Starlight said. "The girls seem to like you. Those fillies we see you with... have you done anything with them?" "S-Sweetie Belle sucked me off at a house party..." Spike stammered. "Fillies these days," Rainbow said, with mock disapproval. "Sweetie Belle, eh? So you're going after white, beautiful unicorns?" She rubbed her thumb over the tight skin of his shaft. "I imagine Twilight would be veryinterested to hear that..." "No," he protested, "It's not like that, Girls! She came after me..." "Oh, of course," Starlight said. "Where did we get the idea that you had inappropriate feelings for Rarity’s sister?" She giggled. "Don't worry, sweetie. I won't say a thing to Twilight." She took her hand off his shaft. "But if you've already had your dick sucked, then maybe we should try something else...” She looked at Rainbow who nodded and were ready to give Spike the time of his life! “We want to give our boyfriend a good first time." “Whoa, whoa!” Spike said in panic. “Girls, we can’t!” But try as he might, they didn’t listen. What hope did he have, sharing a house with two beautiful mares like this? Mature and super sexy... none of his friends were half as sexy as them. The deck had been stacked against him from the start. "Sure we can," Rainbow whispered to him. “This is the best time for it, really." Spike’s heart was thundering in his chest. He couldn't think straight. He knew this was wrong - and he could still walk out of this room - but he had no strength left to resist. He felt like he was falling, letting gravity take him. He'd felt the same thing when the Cutie Mark Crusaders had cornered him at the house party and dragged him up to the bedroom - but this was a hundred times more wrong and so much hotter. It felt so good to be seduced, and he knew he was doomed to give in, again and again... “Tell us, Spike.” Rainbow said. “Have you ever been with a mare before?” “Uh, with the Cutie Mark Crusaders at a house party, but mostly no.” Spike said quickly. “Well, then...” Starlight said to him. “Let us be your first." “What do you mean?” Spike asked. Rainbow Dash smirked as she kissed him on the lips, with her tongue swirling into Spike’s mouth. After a few minutes, she pulled away and breathed heavily. “Does that answer your question?” The wonderbolt asked seductively. Spike nodded. Starlight kissed him too as her tongue swirled in his mouth for a few minutes, then breathed heavily like Rainbow did. “We are going to have a great time!” She said as she and Rainbow both kissed Spike on the cheek and gave him a strong, loving hug. Spike blushed a pure crimson as they kissed him. “Gee, girls.” He said. “You really know how to make a guy blush.” “Well, then get ready!” Starlight said. “Because we’re going to make you blush the reddest shade of crimson...” They both leaned over to Spike. “Of love!” They both said at the same time. This made Spike blush even more as his tail moved towards Rainbow Dash’s and Starlight Glimmer’s pusses and played with their clits, causing them to moan in pleasure. Rainbow picked Starlight up and and they aligned with his belly as they saw the two cocks that rise. Spike and Starlight kissed with passion as Rainbow Dash put the first cock on her mouth and start moving up and down. Spike moaned as his tail was still playing with Rainbow Dash's clit as his right hand plays with Starlight’s wet pussy. Both of them moan loudly as their juices flow freely from they wet pussy. "What next?" Spike asked as they pulled away from him. "Now, time to give ourselves to you.” Starlight said as Rainbow nodded. Spike looks at both Rainbow and Starlight put their front hoof on the bed as their tails move aside, showing their wet fertile pussy towards the drake. Spike positions his first cock into Rainbow Dash's pussy and second cock into Starlight’s pussy as he pushes his lower body to the front. Rainbow Dash grunts softly, feeling his penis open up her vagina, breaking her hymen. Starlight yelped, as she felt the pain of her hymen been tore into pieces. She tried her best not to cry as Spike rubs both her’s and Rainbow’s back slowly, trying to ease their pain. Starlight panted heavily as Spike kept on pushing as his cocks hit the gate of their womb. Few minutes later, Starlight and Rainbow both looked at Spike and nodded. "Tell us.” Starlight said. "Tell us what you're going to do." "I'm going to fuck you both deep," Spike said to them. "I'm going to fill you up with dragon meat and blow my load inside you." He paused, sliding deeper, and he felt himself hit the back wall of her pussy. "G-Girls." "Oh yes," Starlight and Rainbow both said at the same time, rolling their hips languidly. "That's what we want. Fill us up with that sweet cream." They both put their hands on their tits and fingered their fat nipples. “O-oh jeez, you’re really, really warm, Girls.” Spike stuttered out as he sunk into the tight, squeezing flesh of her cunt. He was practically swallowed by her softness, and her clit winked harder than ever against his other penis, the wet nub sloppily kissing his sensitive tip in the only way it could. She let out a pleased sigh as she felt Spike penetrate her depths, however her dock was being bent upwards, and it was started to cramp. “Could you hold our tails to the side? It kind of hurts,” She told him, her ears folded back in discomfort. “O-of course, Girls!” Spike readily agreed, and wrapped his claws around the base of their dock, moving it aside and relieving the pressure in her tail bone. She pushed back in delight, which caused his thumb to squish against her anus, the donut-shaped muscle clenching at the contact. In response, he rubbed the outer ring in circles, liking how the taut flesh spasmed in sync with each flex of her dock. Starlight and Rainbow had never felt such a strange feeling before. His claws fit perfectly around their dock, and one of his digits tickled her butthole in such a way that it sent tingles up her tail. A grin spread across a face, and they looked into his dilated pupils. “Wow, now that feels strange. You like our asses, Spike? Well, maybe after you cure our heat, We’ll let you slip into that tight ring. Do you think you’d like that?” She felt him twitch within her, and his grip around her tail increased. “We’ll take that as a yes.” He pulled out, their walls gripping him tightly, the friction causing them to gasp in delight. His dick rested against their slick outer lips for a couple seconds, and then he wrapped one of his claws around the two ponies’ lower waist and grabbed hold of her small teats, cupping her breasts to her immense glee. And with one hand around her tail, and one hand around her small mounds, he proceeded to sink deep, deep inside the unicorn and Pegasus, their slick passage offering little resistance. “Ah, that feels so good!” Starlight moaned, their legs twitching as they was filled once more. He slowly humped back and forth, and she and Rainbow pushed their rear backS in earnest, biting their bottom lip as she shut her eyes in delight. He started a steady pace, pushing deeply inside until his tip softly brushed up against their cervix, and then pulled out until he was barely held between the seams of their labias. He snorted as he gripped her breasts even tighter, thrusting deeper and harder into her eager cunny. Each time their hips collided, he yanked her tail, causing Starlight and Rainbow to whinny in surprise, as their anuses twitched against his thumb as they both squeezed his dick tightly in response. Spike could hardly believe what was happening, even as he felt Starlight’s and Rainbow’s flesh clenching around him in earnest. He was fucking a mare...no, make that two mares. His dicks were inside two ponies! It felt incredible, and the pressure within his gut was very close to bursting. “F-fuck us!” Starlight and Rainbow demanded, their voice hitching each time she was spread. “Cure our heat, please! We’re so close!” They both gyrated her hips against his own, feeling their climax approaching as his shafts rubbed against their insides oh-so-wonderfully. Each thrust resulted in his other penis jabbing their clits, and that contributed to her pleasure more than anything else. Faster his small body went, until he finally felt the pressure release, and his cock exploded with sensation. “S-Starlight! Rainbow Dash!” He almost growed, holding onto her lower waist tighter than ever before as ropes of cum splattered against the two ponies’ cervixs. Spike’s semen was practically an inferno, the scorching hot liquid almost feeling like it would boil her insides. “Oh, Celestia, that burns!” Starlight yelped out, a bit louder than she meant to. However, it still felt bucking amazing, almost like a balm that simultaneously cooled her heat and burned her insides. Which combined with his second dick hitting her clit, caused her mind to go blank, and their vision to swim with stars, their pleasure reaching its peak in a crescendo of sensation. The two ponies breathed hard and fast as their cunts rapidly squeezed and clenched around Spike’s cock, pulling his tip right against their cervixs, and causing his next few loads to fill their womb with liquid fire. He pumped his seed deep within her rapidly orgasming pussy, the undulating passage swallowing his shaft whole as it milked him for everything he had. The soft walls were holding him in a vice grip, rippling around him as Starlight moaned with immense relief. "Okay Spike, Keep doing it. Pound us like you mean it," said Rainbow. Spike nodded as he kept moving his lower body. The movement of his penises inside their vagina, sending all three of them over the edge. Spike holds their rear and start pounding faster and harder as they scream loudly in pleasure. "This is awesome!" Rainbow yelled in excitement. Few hours has passed and Spike grunts. Rainbow Dash and Starlight are nearing another orgasm. "Come on Spike. Fill us up!" Starlight yelled. “Atta boy, Spike!” Rainbow said. “Make us yours!” Spike roars, filling their fertile womb into overflowing as they all screamEd in pleasure and released their juices again. All three of them pant heavily and slowly drifted to dreamland. “We love you, Spike.” Starlight said, smiling as she drifted off to sleep. “We will always be there for you.” “Yeah!” Rainbow Dash said in agreement. “You’re our best boyfriend! And also, we are more than willing to give you foals!” She yawned as she started to drift off to sleep. “Well, good night, Spikey Wikey.” Rainbow muttered as she fell asleep. Spike opened his eyes a crack and smiled. “Good night, girls. I love you so much.” Spike said. “We love you too, Spike.” Starlight said happily to her drake friend as she, Rainbow and Spike all drifted off to sleep, thinking about the wonderful moment they had just had together. The next morning finally arrived! It was the day of Twilight Sparkle’s wedding...as well as Discord’s, Pinkie Pie’s, Rarity’s and Applejack’s! All their families would be there. She rushed in excitedly to tell her friends the good news! “Girls! I'm getting married today!!“ Twilight screamed in excitement. “Whoo-hoo!!” “Morning, Twilight.” Spike said, waking up and ready for his sister’s big day! “I'm getting married, to..day!!” she said again excitedly. “Yeah you are!!” Spike said in agreement and excitement as Twilight left screaming with pure excitement in her voice. At that moment, Starlight and Rainbow rose up from the covers on both sides of him and were concerned. “Do you think she knew we were here?” She asked him. Spike just smiled as he looked at his two mare friends whom he just got laid. “I just had sex!” he thought as he was enjoying their little moment together in the morning. So, that’s how StarSpikeDash happened. //-------------------------------------------------------// The Shocking Announcement //-------------------------------------------------------// The Shocking Announcement On a nice day, Twilight and her friend went to the Crystal Empire to see Cadence and have a little lunch. When the Mane Six arrived at the Crystal Castle, Twilight ran up to meet with her sister-in-law. “Cadence!” Twilight said excitedly. “Twilight!” Cadence said excitedly as well, as they did the “Sunshine, Sunshine” routine. “We’re so glad you could invite us, Cadence.” Starlight said. “It’s not often we come when there’s no monster or an important matter to discuss.” “I’m so glad you all could come.” Cadence said. “I know you are hungry, and I know a great restaurant we could eat at.” They started to head out the castle to the restaurant. “Let’s go!” They arrived at the Crystal Hayburger (Strange name. I know) and sat at a table for 10 ponies. 2 of which would come later. The waiter came out to take their order. “Can I get you anything?” He asked. “Just water will do, thank you.” Cadence told him. “We have two more joining us.” “Of course, Ma’am.” He said and went to get them their water, and brought it to the table before leaving to check on another table. “We have more friends coming?” Twilight asked. “Yes.” Cadence told them. “They’ll be joining us shortly before we order. Right now, we’re waiting for them.” “Who else is coming?” Rainbow asked confused. “Shining Armor and Flurry Heart?” “Sunburst and Trixie?” Starlight asked. “Thorax and Ember?” Spike asked. Cadence just giggled. “No. Though those are all nice guesses.” She said to them. “I think you may know them.” Twilight was about to ask who was coming when suddenly, a bright yellow hippogriff with a blue mane was hovering over the Empire, scouting for somepony. She finally saw Twilight and her friends and landed right in the chair right in front of them. Pinkie and Twilight were shocked and amazed as they didn’t expect to see her here...of all places...of all days! “SKYSTAR?!” Twilight and Pinkie asked in shock. “AHHH, Twilight! Pinkie Pie!” Skystar said excitedly. “It is so good to see you again!” She swooped down into the chair next to Pinkie Pie. “How have you all been doing!?” “We’ve been doing great!” Pinkie Pie said happily. “I’m so glad you could come, Skystar.” Cadence said to her. “We haven’t seen you in such a long time!” “That’s what I was going to say.” A voice said. The group wheeled around and saw a regal pink hippogriff standing right in front of them. Twilight was surprised as she didn’t expect to see her here since after the wedding. She hid herself in her wings nervously. “N—Novo!” She said shocked. Novo giggled at the sight of Twilight hiding herself in her wings. “Are you still scared about what happened years ago when you saved Equestria?” She asked. “I thought I forgave you for that.” She smiled. “True, I did forgive you.” Twilight said as she retracted her wings. “I’m just scared with what you did to her after that!” She pointed to Skystar furiously. The hippogriffs giggled. “Twilight, that’s all in the past. We let bygones be bygones. Surely, you forgot about that?” Novo said. “Besides, everything’s okay. We just wanted to join you for lunch.” Twilight blushed a pure shade of red. “Oh. Sorry.” Twilight said, almost embarrassed. Novo only chucked. “It’s alright.” Skystar said. “Now, I believe someone has an order to make?” They all ordered their food which got delivered to them in a matter of minutes. As they were all munching on their goods, Someone would reveal something exciting to the group. “Okay, I know I’m not supposed to know, but I do.” Skystar said. “And I’m so excited for you!” “What? What’s going on?” Rainbow asked. “Fluttershy’s pregnant!” Pinkie Pie said as Skystar nodded. The others were shocked as they heard this news. “Land sakes!” Applejack said in shock. “Is that why you guys had to get married?!“ Fluttershy was shocked as she gasped and her wings sprung up. “Guys! I’m not pregnant.” she said. “Ah.” Novo said. “Slow swimmers?” She asked, looking at Twilight who was as shocked as her. “What?! What do you mean?” Pinkie asked. “You-you-you’re not pregnant?” “You didn’t tell anybody I was, did you?!” Fluttershy asked, still feeling shocked. “No!” Pinkie replied to her. “Hey Flutters!” Starlight asked. “Why did you tell the guys you weren’t pregnant?” “Because I’m not.” Fluttershy said bluntly to her. “We found your test in the trash.” Starlight said to her. “If you’re not pregnant, it’s because I am.” “What?!” Twilight and Novo both said as their wings sprung up like a spring! “What are you talking about?“ Twilight asked, further shocked. “What are you talking about?” Fluttershy asked, repeating her wife’s question. “Yes, I…I am with child.” The time travelling unicorn said. “And I didn’t want to say anything because it’s your day. I didn’t want to steal your thunder before your wedding.” Everyone was shocked upon hearing that Starlight Glimmer was pregnant. They just couldn’t believe it! “Wait a minute! So you told ponies I was pregnant?!” Fluttershy asked in shock. “Does this look like a conversation that I want to remember?!” “Who’s the father?” Twilight asked, wanting to know. “Yeah.” Novo said in agreement. “I can’t say.” Starlight said. “Why?” Twilight asked. “Why not?” Cadence asked, shocked. “I can’t say because he’s famous.” Starlight said, still staying oblivious about it. “Oh my God, who is it?!” Rainbow Dash asked. “Starlight, Darling! Come on!” Rarity said. “You have to tell us.“ Starlight took in a deep breath. “Okay, okay. It’s Skybeak.” She said. “Skybeak is the father of my baby.” Novo’s winged sprung up again. “As in the hippogriff captain Skybeak?” She asked surprised. “What?!” Starlight said shocked. “Well, he never said that to me!” Later on, when they were finishing off their meals, Starlight was still shocked when she told everybody she was pregnant. Unbeknownst to her, Rainbow Dash was feeling uncomfortable about something, and she decided to talk to her about it. “Oh my god!” Starlight said to her friend. “Oh, thank you for doing that, Starlight.” Rainbow said to her friend, feeling stressed. “I just can’t deal with this just quite yet.” “So instead you told me Fluttershy was pregnant...” the time mare started. “...You said that she was, I just didn’t disagree with you.” Rainbow said. Starlight developed a devilish grin. “Sneaky.” she said. “Oh yeah.” Rainbow smirked devilish as well. “Oh by the way? Skybeak?” “Oh, I know. I could only think of two names, him and Sunburst.” Starlight said. “And then, I remembered he lives here.” She pointed to where Sunburst lives which happened to be just a few blocks from the restaurant. “So, are you ready to talk about it?” “No.” Rainbow said, still nervous. “Now?” Starlight asked again. “No!” Rainbow was now on shouting level as she was still nervous. “Okay, we’ll talk about something else then.” Starlight said. “Thank you.” the wonderbolt said. They were silent for a few minutes not saying anything. Finally, Starlight broke the ice again. “Who’s the father?!” she blurted out. “Ugh!” Rainbow groaned in stress. “Look honey, y’know what? I haven’t told him yet! So until I do, I don’t think I should tell anybody else.“ “Yeah. That’s fine. That’s fair.” The time pony said. She then thought of something. “Is it Soarin?” “STARLIGHT!” Rainbow shouted in frustration. “Okay, I’m sorry. I’ll stop.” she confessed. “Good!” The wonderbolt said. Just then, she thought of something else. “Is it Spike?” She asked. “It’s Spike, isn’t it?” “Star, stop it!” Rainbow said in frustration, now boarding on anger. “I am not going to tell you until I tell him.” “Ah-hah!” Starlight said in realization. “At least we know it’s a him.” She then left to go to the bathroom and Twilight, Pinkie and the hippogriffs sat by Rainbow, wondering how all this happened. “Can you believe Starlight got pregnant?!” She asked in shock. “Oh, y’know what, Egghead?” Rainbow said stressed. “Let’s not talk about that right now.” “This is so huge.” Pinkie said in agreement. “Sure, but come on, as big as your wedding?” Rainbow asked. “Of course not.” Twilight said, cool and collective. “Nothing is between me and you…” Starlight nodded. “Besides, in this day and age how dumb do you have to be to get pregnant?“ “Hey!” Rainbow shot back, feeling offended. “Y’know, sometimes you can do everything right! Everypony can wear everything they’re supposed to wear, and one of those little guys just gets through!” “How?” Twilight asked. “I don’t know! Maybe they have tools.” Rainbow guessed. “Well, W-We talked to Starlight and uh, she’s definitely going to have this baby.” Skystar said. “Y’know, she said she was gonna raise it on her own.“ “Well, maybe that’s, maybe that’s really brave.” Rainbow said, feeling a combination of brave and nervous. “Maybe.” Novo said in agreement. “I just hope she realizes how hard it’s gonna be, Honey.” “Maybe she hasn’t really thought it through that well.” Rainbow told them. “Well, there’s a lot to think about.” Twilight said to her. “I mean, how is she going to handle this financially? How is she going to juggle friendship lessons? Does she realize she’s not going to have a date again for the next eighteen years?” She was in twilighting mode again. Rainbow heard this and started to cry. “I don’t know.” she said, as she started sobbing in her arms. The others took notice and were surprised at how she was crying at this news. “Are you okay?” Novo asked, putting her wings around her like a mother would. “Uh-hmm.” The wonderbolt said sadly, as she raised her face from her hooves. “I’m just thinking about Starlight! Poor knocked-up Starlight!” Just then, the waiter came by with a bottle. “Champagne?” he asked. “Oh yes! Thank you very much!” Rainbow said as she took a glass and poured some champagne in it. She then realized what she did and spat it out while no one was looking. Unfortunately, Twilight, Novo, Skystar and Pinkie Pie all noticed. “Oh that’s-that’s actually how the Prench drink it.” She apologized. This made all four of them gasp in shock as Twilight, Skystar, and Novo’s wings all spring up as they now just realized who was really pregnant! It was Rainbow Dash! A few minutes later, Applejack and Starlight both came back from the bathroom and saw the girls who were talking about who was pregnant. “Well, we got back from the bathroom, Y’all.” Applejack said to them. “Oh, really?!” Pinkie Pie asked sarcastically and angrily. The two mares didn’t know what to make of this. “Uh, what the hay is going on?” Applejack asked in confusion. “Rainbow Dash is really the one who’s pregnant.” Twilight told them. Starlight and Applejack were now shocked as they knew what happened. “Oh my god!” They both said in shock. “How do ya feel, RD?” Applejack asked her friend. “I don’t know.” Rainbow replied shocked. “I don’t know how I feel! This is all happening so fast. I have to make all these decisions that I don’t want to make.” She took a drink of champagne and spat it out again. “Somebody just take this away from me!!” the waiter came over to the table and took the champagne away. “Calm down.” Starlight said. “Maybe you’re not pregnant.” “What?!” The wonderbolt asked bluntly. “Maybe it’s a false positive.” Twilight said. “We’re just saying, don’t freak out until you’re 100% sure.“ Skystar added. “All right, I’ll-I’ll take it again when I get back to Cloudsdale.” Rainbow said, giving in. “You gotta take it now, Dash!” Applejack said serious to her. “Come on, do it for us!” Twilight said. Rainbow looked at the mares around her, smiling and hoping she would do it for her friends. She took in a deep breath. “Okay. Thank you.” “Okay!” Applejack said. “I’ll run out and get you one.” She did so, to get her a pregnancy test. “Oh, you guys are so great.” Rainbow said as she blushed happily. “Oh, wait a minute!” Pinkie gasped. “Who’s is the father?!” “Oh no, she won’t tell us.” Starlight said, serious. Applejack came back with a test. “See? This is why ya’ll register.” Later after lunch, Applejack, Starlight, Pinkie, Twilight, Rainbow, Skystar and Novo all went to the castle of Friendship’s throne room to check if the wonderbolt was really pregnant. “How much longer?” Rainbow asked, not wanting to wait for much longer. “30 seconds.” Twilight told her. “30 seconds, okay.” Rainbow said, taking in a deep breath of determination. “Rainbow Dash, I-I want you to know that, if it’s positive, we’re gonna…” Novo started to tear up as she said that. Rainbow smiled as she welled up with tears as well. “Oh, I know. I know.” she said as the girls all went in for a group hug. Applejack check the test. “It’s time, Y’all.” She said. Rarity was about to come in, but she was stopped by the girls yelling. “No!!” they all said as Rarity backed out and left. “Go ahead, Rainbow.” Skystar said as the others nodded. It was time. Rainbow started to look, but then shied away. “Oh wait!” She said nervously. “Y’know what? I can’t, I can’t look at it. I can’t. Somebody else tell me, somebody tell me.“ The others were shocked that she refused to look at it. Starlight took it and saw that it was negative. “Okay. It’s negative!” She said. Rainbow’s ears perked up. “What?” “It’s negative.” Starlight said again. Rainbow Dash was relieved as that meant she didn’t have to worry about being a mother. “Oh. Oh. Well there you go. Whew!” She said happily. “That is—that’s great—that is really great-great news. Y’know ‘cause the whole not being ready and kinda the financial aspects, all that. Whew. Wow, this is so just the way it was supposed to be. God.” She started to cry. “Well… Well, great.” Twilight said with relief and happiness. “Here.” Novo said as she gave her a tissue, which Rainbow blew on it. “Thanks. God, this is so stupid!” She cried. “How could I be upset over something I never had? It’s negative?” Novo checked again and she and Starlight were shocked that it came out positive. “No, it’s positive!” She said. Rainbow’s ears perked up and her jaw dropped down in shock. “What?!” she asked. “It’s-it’s not negative, Rainbow.” Starlight told her, “It’s positive.” “Are you sure?” Rainbow asked, making sure. “Well, yeah.” Starlight said. “I lied before.” “Oh my god!” Rainbow cried out in shock! “Oh God…” Novo said in shock. “Now, you know how you really feel about it.“ Pinkie said as she came up to her. “Oh-oh, that’s a risky little game!” Rainbow said, snarky and angry and excited at the same time In response to what Pinkie said. “Are you really gonna do this?” Skystar asked in shock, while the others wanted to know. “Yeah. I’m gonna have a baby.” She said. “I’m gonna have a baby. I’m gonna have a baby!“ Everyone all cheered as they all pulled her in for a group hug. “I’m gonna be a mom.” She said happily and calm as she embraced this one moment. “With who?” Applejack asked. “Ah, it’s still not the time.” Rainbow said. At that moment, Spike came in. “Still not the time for what?” Spike asked confused. Rainbow blushed as she saw Spike was here. She turned to the others and all nodded. She breathed in and out. This was it. There was no turning back. “Umm, Spike? I think there’s something that we really need to talk about.” She said, embarrassed. “Oh sure.” He said as he walked to her. “What?” Rainbow gulped. “Spike, I’m pregnant.” She said. This made his open his mouth and widen his eyes in shock. “And you’re the father by the way.” She smiled nervously. Spike was now frozen in shock as he didn’t know what to say next. Finally, after a few minutes of silence, he spoke. “What?” He asked. “I’m the father of your kid?” He asked. “Your kid? YOUR KID?!?!” Everyone was shocked that Spike had yelled in complete shock due to how he responded to all this. They all thought he’d react normally and calm, like anyone else would and they would talk this out and figure out how Spike could be a good Dad. But, what his was reaction was...was way too much for them to comprehend. “Uh, Actually, Spike?” Starlight told him. You and I are also the father and mother of the kid. She gulped as soon as she said that. This made everyone shocked as they didn’t know that Starlight was part of Rainbow and Spike being together and having that sex session during that time. “WHAT?!” Everyone except Starlight shouted in shock. “OH MY GOD!” Spike said in horror as he threw his claws up in the air, and on his head. Twilight was shocked to see him act like this over such happy news. “Ugh!” She said frustrated. “Like I can stop you for reacting like that! You’re becoming mental!” Everyone was surprised that Twilight had said such a thing to her assistant, now father of Rainbow Dash’s kid. And Spike was surprised that he was now that father of a kid that a rainbow maned wonderbolt was having and would be sharing with a time travelling lavender, and cyan hairlined unicorn! It was going to be a shocking, yet amazing long ride for Spike as he would now be the father of a kid that his friend now has, but also that his friends would be there to help him. Author's Note And, that’s all for this chapter! Rainbow Dash is pregnant, and Spike’s the father?! And Starlight is sharing the kid as well?! That’s big news to talk about. How will their friends cope with all this? The answers to these and other questions will be revealed in the next chapter! //-------------------------------------------------------// The Proposal //-------------------------------------------------------// The Proposal It was a nice day inside the castle of Friendship as Rainbow Dash and Twilight were still going over how Spike reacted when she told him Spike was the father. They were wondering what to do. Rainbow started to feel a little morning sickness as she was going over this, and Twilight could tell right away. "Hey, how are you feelin’?" Twilight asked her friend. "Any morning sickness?" "Shh-shh-shh!" Rainbow said urgently as she didn't want it to be so loud. "The guys don’t know yet do they?" "No!" Twilight said. "And Fluttershy still thinks that Starlight’s pregnant." "Yeah, that’s right." Starlight said as she came in, overhearing the conversation. "Fluttershy does still think I’m pregnant. She hasn’t asked me how I’m feeling or offered to carry my bags. Boy, I feel bad for the mare who ends up with her.” She quickly dodged an angry look from the rainbow maned pegasus. "After you of course." "Don’t worry! I promise that you will only have to be pregnant for a few more hours." Rainbow reassured her. at that moment, Spike came in the throne room. "Hey, Girls!" he said, feeling a little chirper today. "What's up?" "Hey Spike, what would you do if someone that you slept with told you that she was pregnant?" Rainbow asked out of the blue. "Rainbow!" Twilight said, trying to cover it up! "Who called here? Did she sound cool?" Spike asked warily. "Huh? Did-did-did she have an accent? I gotta make a call!" He started to leave the castle. "I should have never walked into that Ponyville Mall!" "Oh, Spike! Spike! No, it’s not you!" Rainbow said to calm him down. "You didn’t get anypony pregnant!" "Oh. Why would you scare me like that?" Spike asked shocked. "What's going on?" "Starlight's really the one who is pregnant!" Rainbow said. "Rainbow Dash, a minute please!" Twilight said as she dragged Rainbow out of the room. " What are you doing?! Spike knows YOU'RE pregnant! The only reason is..." She saw her friend make a "Button zipped" gesture and realized she was playing with him. "Oh, now I get it!" She said, now calm. "Sneaky!" they both went in the room before Spike. "Oh yeah. That’s me." Starlight said, before anyone had a chance to say anything. Spike was shocked at first, but then changed to happiness as he realized that one of his closest friends was with a baby. "Oh good." he said with relief. "Uh, Starlight? Listen uh sit down. I-I got something I want to say." "All right." She said as she sat down before the drake and was ready to hear what he had to say. (Spike's POV.) "Any decent dragon would do the same thing if they had a friend who was in the same position as her, so just do it already." Spike's thoughts said to him. "Stop overthinking this, Spike. It's not that big of a deal. Well, it sorta is a big deal, but still, just ask her already! Do as you always do, never think about what you're doing and just go for it. Ok, I'm gonna do it... Maybe… Ok deep breath, Spike. It's now or never!" (Back to the Story) "It’s a scary world out there, especially for a single mom. Y’know, now I always thought you and I had a special bond so…Starlight Glimmer, will you marry me?" Spike asked as he got down on one knee and pulled out the ring he bought at a jeweler. Starlight Glimmer was an absolutely divine mare, as well as one of his closest friends...and he thought very highly of her. Even though he hadn't admitted it, he knew he had feelings for her. If he told the group, it wouldn't be as personal to him, and things could get a little messy, so he kept it to himself for all this time. Now was his chance, all she had to say was "Yes." (Starlight Glimmer's POV.) "Alright, now this has gone a little too far." Starlight's thought raced in her head as she wondered now what she was going to do...now that Spike confessed his love for her. "Rainbow Dash had better start telling people that SHE'S the one who's pregnant and not me, and I don't think I can cover for her for much longer. The only reason Spike wants to marry me is because he doesn't want me to be a single mom, and he wants to give me a helping hand. Actually, now that I think about it, that's pretty sweet of him. He's always been a really nice guy, and he loves his friends more than air. I could use someone like that in my life. I've only ever gone out with friends like Trixie who is great and powerful. And, I did go out with Sunburst, and he wasn't a loser. He was great, and I really did like him… But to hell with that, he's living it up in The Crystal Empire and he probably won't be coming back any time soon. But, I know Spike will always be by my side, we've always had a special bond…" (Back to the Story) "Oh my God," Twilight said in shock, rolling her eyes. This was going too far! Somebody had to tell him, and it was gonna be her. "Spike-" "Of course, I'll marry you!" Starlight said gleefully, tearing up with joy after taking a moment to make her decision. Spike watched with a grin on his face as Starlight slipped the ring on her horn. "You can't marry him!" Twilight broke in, trying to keep them from making a big mistake. "Hey, Egghead your day is over, it's MY turn!" Starlight told her teacher before planting a kiss on Spike's lips. The alicorn watched as the pair wrapped their arms around each other and sank into the kiss lovingly. Although it was sweet, she knew she couldn't stand there and let this happen. "Starlight!" She said loudly, glaring at her friend. "What, why can't she marry me? I'll treat her very well and make sure she gets all the support she needs." Spike told his sister while he held Starlight's hand. Before Twilight had a chance to say anything, her pupil spoke up. "I can and I will marry you, Spike the Brave and Glorious Dragon!" She stated firmly, then she kissed her new lover again as he bushed a cute shade of red. Twilight had enough, she couldn't keep the secret anymore. "Spike, Starlight is not-" "Twilight! Can I speak to you in the hall for a second? PLEASE?" Starlight said frantically as she jumped up from her seat. "No Starlight, Spike has to know th-" The violet alicorn started. "Ok, come with me!" Starlight cut her teacher off then dragged her by her arm into the hall. "Starlight, what the hell are you doing?!" Twilight questioned her friend while shutting the door behind them. "The only reason he wants to marry you is because he thinks you are pregnant, which you aren't. This is a BIG mistake, so just call this whole thing off before it gets any wor-" "But I think I love him Twilight." Starlight said, cutting her off for the fourth time in the last five minutes. Twilight looked into Starlight's eyes, trying to study her emotions. Was she being genuine, or was this just Starlight being herself? After taking a pause, Twilight opened her mouth. "What do you mean?" "I love him Twi. We've been friends for more than a few years now, and we've always had a special bond that I just can't explain." she told her teacher. "If I picture myself ending up with someone, it's not Sunburst, or Double Diamond, I picture myself with Spike. He's caring, he's funny, he's loveable, and you know this as well as I do, he's a total babe. What more could a mare want? He is perfect, and I'd be willing to spend my life with him." Twilight took in and processed every word of Starlight's speech. Maybe she and Spike were meant to be, they do care about each other a whole lot, they're like two peas in a pod. But there were still problems with this spontaneous marriage proposal. "Starlight, Spike is gonna notice when you don't have a baby in nine months." She reminded her. "It's Spike we're talking about, Twi. He won't suspect a thing. Even if he did, he'll learn the truth eventually, Rainbow won't be able to keep this a secret much longer. I'm hoping she'll tell everyone soon, I feel bad lying to him like this." Starlight said. "I don't feel great about lying to him and the others either. Just like Spike, the others have no idea about what's going on. It's really hard being the only ones who know, but I guess you're right. They'll find out soon enough, just not quite yet." Twilight agreed. Starlight nodded her head. "Alright well this has been a fun talk, but I gotta go back in there so I can be with my new fiancé," she said, then paused. "Ooh, I like the sound of that. Fiancé. Fi-an-cé. Glimmy the fiancé!" She giggled joyfully at her new title, then headed back inside to meet up with Spike. Twilight took in a deep breath and closed the door to her throne room. At that moment, Rainbow Dash came out, overhearing the whole thing that just happened. “Oh.” She said excitedly. “A fake proposal. Very chill.” “This is NOT fake at all!” Spike said shocked and serious. “I think I really love her.” Rainbow gawked at that. She didn’t think she was going to be replaced...especially since it was so early! “What?!” She cried out. “Spike!” “Whoa, whoa, whoa!” Spike said, calming Rainbow down. “Hold on! Hold on!” He got out another ring and presented it to her. Rainbow’s mouth was agape as she saw the ring shining brightly before her eyes! She didn’t expect a proposal like this, and what she wouldn’t expect was that Spike would ask Rainbow Dash to join in on him and Starlight’s marriage. “Spike...” she said in shock. “A...Are you...?” “It’s a scary world out there, especially for a single friend” he said. “Y’know, now I always thought you, Starlight and I all had a special bond, ever since you two confessed your feelings for me.” Starlight and Rainbow both blushed in shock as they smiled brightly like christmas trees in the night sky. “It all comes down to this because since then, I have a feeling we were meant to be together since we hung out the past few years. Rainbow Dash, will you join me and Starlight’s marriage?” Rainbow Dash was utterly shocked as she was being proposed to, and Starlight smiled brightly and teared with joy as he said those words. Rainbow Dash breathed, hyperventilating in excitement! She looked at her friend, who smiled and nodded in agreement. “Ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh!” Rainbow squealed with glee. “NO! I mean....YES!” “Oh Spike!” Starlight said in excitement as well as she and Rainbow hugged the drake tightly with all their might. “That’s the sweetest thing you ever said to us!” “I KNOW!” Spike said happily as he blushed with a lovesick feeling! “Now, you have 2 fiancés!” Rainbow said as they continued to hug their soon to be husband. “Okay, since I proposed to you and you...” he said as he pointed to his soon to be brides. “...that leaves only one question: Where SHOULD we have the wedding?” Starlight and Rainbow both shared a giggle. “Calm down, Spike.” Starlight told him. “You just proposed to us.” “But, we won’t be waiting for long.” Spike said to the girls. “Will we?” “Of course not, Spiky!” Rainbow said as she and Starlight rubbed his scales and back nicely. “Now, where’s Rarity?” Spike asked. “I think the others need to know...that we’re getting married!” The two fiancés smiled and nodded as they couldn’t agree more than to tell their friends about this momentous occasion that would happening very soon! Author's Note And, that’s it for this chapter! Spike has proposed to Rainbow Dash and Starlight. Now, they’re going to tell their friends. Twilight is still skeptical of all this, but there is more than one way to prove a bookworm wife wrong. Find out what happens next in the next chapter! //-------------------------------------------------------// Going To Las Pegasus In My Mind! //-------------------------------------------------------// Going To Las Pegasus In My Mind! It was a nice day in Ponyville...well, actually, it was a nice day inside Twilight Sparkle’s Castle. Ponyville was still bustling around with activity. We’re talking about Spike, Starlight and Rainbow Dash for crying out loud! As Starlight and Spike were reflecting back on the proposal, and how excited they all were about how they would finally be married off, there was still some planning to do and little time to do it. Rainbow Dash was just exiting her room to go tell Starlight and Spike the big news, when she saw Twilight and Fluttershy hanging up a portrait of themselves in the hallway, next to their room. “How's it coming?” She asked as she looked at how lovely and exquisite the picture was as she touched it. “Hey-hey-hey you're touching the picture!” Twilight pointed out to her friend as Fluttershy gave her a stare look. Rainbow looked and gasped as she saw the picture was the two as the American Gothic picture. “Sorry....you freak!” Rainbow said sarcastically with a smirk as she left the hallway, and went into the throne room to go meet up with the others. Meanwhile, Spike and Starlight were wondering about their proposal and how they would plan out their wedding. Starlight was the first to speak up. “Do you realize that any minute now, you, Rainbow and I could get married at our place of choice real soon?” She asked her lover. “It’s such a huge, life-altering thing.” Spike sighed with content and happiness. “I know.” He said happily and calm. Just then, they saw Rainbow Dash enter the room, feeling dejected. “Hi.” She said with no emotion. Spike and Starlight were surprised at Rainbow being in such a state. “Wow. That is not a happy hi.” Starlight said bluntly. “I just got off the phone from Flim and Flam, and guess what?” The two lovers were still confused as to what their friend meant. Finally, she broke the ice excitedly. “WE’RE GOING TO GET TO CHOOSE THE PLACE WHERE WE’LL GET MARRIED!!!” “We get to choose the place for our wedding?” Spike asked excitedly. “That's amazing! Where is it?” “And the best part is, we're going to Las Pegasus!!!” Rainbow burst out, which made the other two jump up and down in excitement. “And you know what that means, buddies!” “Yeah, We know that means, buddy!” Starlight said in excitement. “ROAD TRIP!” All three said in excitement at the same time. “Okay, not technically a road trip, because we're taking that,” Rainbow added as she pointed to a hot air balloon. The two gasped in excitement. “We can use it to get to Las Pegasus!” Spike said excitedly. “Whoa-whoa-whoa.” Starlight said worriedly. “What are we going to do about my job as guidance Counsellor?” “Oh umm, not go.” Rainbow said, nervously and bluntly. “All right, great, road trip baby!” Starlight and Spike said as they shifted back to excitement as they dashed out of the castle and to the hot air balloon! “Let’s go!” They arrived at the balloon and got ready to enter as the balloon took off and to their destination of choice for their big moment. Las Pegasus was their next target: Their wedding. Meanwhile, quite some ways away from Ponyville in Hope Hollow, a boy Pegasus filly, Pickle Barrel was entering a room as he was carrying a bucket of chicken that he was enjoying on. He was checking the mail when a small envelope fell out. Pickle didn’t know what this was as he picked it up and opened it. He read the letter. “You are cordially invited to the wedding of Rainbow Dash to Starlight Glimmer and Spike, Brave and Glorious.” He gasped in shock and excitement as he saw that the invitation was from Rainbow Dash, who was the guest of honor at the Rainbow Festival. He even saw a picture of the three ponies who were about to be married, and was surprised as it showed them having an aftermath of their sex session. At that moment, his sister Barley Barrel came in and saw him looking at the picture of the three lovers. What she didn’t know was that her brother was holding an invitation to Rainbow’s wedding! She gasped. “Oh my God! That's Rainbow Dash!!” She cried out in sheer shock. Pickle turned to see his sister and was shocked. “Oh no-no-no!” He said to his sister, trying to cover it up. “No-no-no-no-no-no-no!“ Barley walked past him, still facing him and felt angry and defensive as she saw the same sex picture he did. “You get away from me, You sick, sick, sick-o!!“ she said furiously to him. At that moment, Moody Root, Kerfluffle, Sunny Skies, and Petunia Pettles came in the room, following Barley. “What's going on?” Moody Root asked curiously as the others wanted to know. “Pickle’s got a secret peephole!“ Barley flat out accused. The Hoofingtons and Torque came in as well and saw the picture that Pickle was holding and were a little surprised. They didn’t know why the picture was there, but they figured it wasn’t Pickle’s fault. “Oh no! No! No! No!“ Mr. Hoofington said in shock as he saw it, as Mrs. Hoofington and Torque gasped in shock as well. “It’s not what you think!” Torque added. “Yes! He has a naked picture of Rainbow Dash!” Barley continued to shout angrily. “He takes naked pictures of Twilight and her friends, and then he eats chicken and looks at them!“ As she said that, Pickle took off his jacket in a huff as she showed them the picture. “Look!” Moody and Sunny took a look at the picture and gasped. “Pickle!” Sunny said in shock. “That’s our guest of honor!” Barley continued to show the others as they all gasped in shock and horror at the sight of the picture. “Give me that!” Mrs. Hoofington said as she snatched to photo from Barley’s hooves. Kerfluffle was confused as she wanted to know what’s going on. “All right, wait!” She said. “Just wait. Everybody just calm down. Okay? Let's give our friend, Pickle a chance to explain why he's such a big pervert!“ “No! I am not a pervert!” Pickle said in utter shock. “Okay? It's just… I just… Kinda…“ he was now at a loss for words as he didn’t know what to say now as he saw everyone else in the room with angry eyes at him. “All right, look! Look. I think we can explain this.” Mr. Hoofington said calmly as he knew Pickle wasn’t a pervert as he and his wife came to his side. Pickle sighed with relief. “Thank you!” He said happily. “Pickle’s a sex addict.” Mrs. Hoofington said which made everyone else, including Pickle shocked at this. “What?!!“ Pickle said further shocked. The Hoofington’s were wanting him to play along with it. But, he wasn’t willing to give in. “No I'm not!!” “It's okay! It's good!” Torque added in agreement. “It's good. It's a disease!” “No! No! I am not a sex addict!” Pickle continued pointing out, getting more flustered. “Yes, you are!” Mr. Hoofington said. “That's the only way to explain all this stuff!” Pickle was getting more stressed and felt like it was time to put his hoof down. “No it isn't! No, it's not. Because you can also explain it with the truth!” He said seriously and frustrated. Everyone was confused because they didn’t know WHERE he was going with this. “Well, what is the truth?” Barley asked him. “Yeah, what's going on?” Petunia Pettles asked. “What's going on?” Moody Root asked as well. Pickle had enough! He had to say it. “That’s even worse that you all were accusing me!!” He said to them. “You were all way over the line! You-you’re-you’re so far past the line, that you-you can’t even see the line! The line is a dot to all of you!” Everyone was still confused that they still didn’t know what he meant. “Uh, what are you talking about?” Kerfluffle asked. Pickle sighed. “Okay. The reason is this!” He got out the invitation for everyone to see. “I got this invitation to go to Rainbow Dash’s wedding, and I was going to tell all of you about it, when this whole fiasco started!” Now, everyone felt guilty as they now knew what he meant. “Oh my, Pickle! We’re sorry, don’t cha know?” Petunia said regretfully. “You got an invitation to Rainbow Dash’s wedding?!” Sunny Skies said in shock and amazement. “This is huge!” “Well, if that don’t beat all!” Moody Root said excitedly. “I didn’t know the guest of honor is getting married! That’s a really big deal!” “Our idol is getting married?!” Barley asked in shock. “Wow! I guess that explains why you got the invitation!” “Speaking of which...” Mr. Hoofington said as he and his wife were thinking about it. “We got the same invite too.” They showed their invite, which shocked everyone. “I think I got one too!” Torque added. “And us too!” Kerfluffle and Petunia Pettles both said as they got theirs out. “I think we all got the same invite.” Barley said in shock and excitement. “But, it’ll be great to go, knowing that our guest of honor is getting married! Though, I have to ask something...who is this Starlight Glimmer?” “I don’t know.” Sunny said confused. “But, it sounds like a friend of hers and Twilight’s.” “I think it says she’s from Sire’s Hollow.” Mrs. Hoofington said as she looked at the invite. “Starlight’s from Sire’s Hollow.” Pickle said as he saw it. “And, it looks like this Spike character is from the Crystal Empire.” Everyone gasped in shock that they heard that. “I thought the Crystal Empire was only a myth!” Petunia Pettles said in shock. “Well, apparently, it rose after 1,000 years.” Pickle told them. “And Spike’s a hero of the Crystal Empire, since he saved them from King Sombra not too long ago.” Everyone was now excited as they were going to a wedding of Hope Hollow’s guest of honor to a resident of Sire’s Hollow and a hero of the Crystal Empire! “Well then, we better get ready if we’re going to go to this wedding!” Sunny said excitedly. “And, it’s in Las Pegasus!” “Wow!” Barley said in excitement. “It’s in Las Pegasus?! That’s awesome, considering we never went there before!” “I think it’s a great place to start, Sis!” Pickle said to his sister. “Well, then let’s get ready to rest if we’re going to head there!” Moody Root said as he yawned. “It’s a big trip, and we don’t want to be tired making the journey there!” “And, we might meet Twilight Sparkle and the others. “ Mr. Hoofington said as well. “We’d better get ready to meet up with them. “Yes.” Mrs. Hoofington said in agreement. “If we’re going to meet Twilight and the others, we’d better prepare for this big day!” “Then, let’s get ready to rest up and prepare to meet up with the gang!” Torque said. “We’ve got a big day tomorrow!” “Goodnight.” Sunny said as he and Petunia Pettles started back to their home. “We’ll see you all tomorrow at the hot air ballon station.” “I’d better get ready too, if I wanna catch that ride!” Kerfluffle said as she and Moody Root started to head back. “Yeah!” Moody Root said. “See you young fellers tomorrow!” “We’re going to be heading back to get some rest.” Mr. Hoofington said. “We trust you two will get good rest before we head out for Las Pegasus.” Mrs. Hoofington added as they started back to their house. “Okay, Mr. Hoofington.” Pickle said. “We’ll be there bright and Early, Mrs. Hoofington!” Barley said as well. “Okay.” Mr. and Mrs. Hoofington said as they left. “Goodnight.” Torque was starting to head back too. “Well, I’d better head back to my workshop, so I can get the hot air balloon ready for the trip!” She said as she walked out. “Good night, you kids! I’ll see you tomorrow morning!” That left Barley and her brother in the room. “Well...” Barley yawned. “I’m gonna go to bed.” She noticed her brother picking Up his Chicken bucket and starting to eat it. “Hey, Pickle...what are you doing eating? It’s time to go to bed.” Pickle turned to notice his sister with a look on her face. “I know. I know it is!” He said. “I’m just going to get back to my bucket.” He started to eat the skin off his chicken. “I'm only eating the skin, so the chicken's up for grabs.” He offered it to Barley, who rolled her eyes as she went to her room to go to bed. Pickle rolled his eyes as he finished his chicken and then went to bed to get ready for the big day. Morning finally came as Sunny Skies, Petunia, Torque, the Hoofingtons, Moody Root and Kerfuffle all met up at the hot air balloon station to take off from Hope Hollow and head to Ponyville. Petunia looked around and saw that the Barrel Twins weren’t there yet. “Oh, for cryin' in the mud, where are the kids?” She asked. “I’m pretty sure they’re coming.” Sunny said. “They’re not ones to usually back out of a vacation.“ “Well, I hope they get there.” Torque said as she checked her watch. “It’s almost time to leave, and the sun’s almost up.” “Yeah!” Moody Root said in agreement. “This balloon won’t take off itself.” The Hoofingtons were also starting to get a little worried as they didn’t see the kids either. “You sure they’ll be there?” Mrs. Hoofington asked nervously. “Oh, honey.” Mr. Hoofington said warmly. “They’ll show up. I’m sure of it.” At that moment, the kids were racing to get to the ballon on time. “Beat ya to the balloon!” Pickle said as he was racing alongside his sister to get the destination. “Nope! I'm gonna beat you!” Barley said with excitement and confidence as she whizzed by him. The twins were racing neck-and-neck as they tried to get to the balloon. “I'm gonna beat you!” Pickle said as he pushed past her. “No, I'm gonna—” Barley started as she tried to push past her brother. They both gasped as they saw the rest of her friends at the balloon, and lost their balance, causing them to tumble on the ground to said balloon. “Look out!” Barley shouted in shock. “No, you look out!” Pickle shouted in shock. They screamed as they landed right next to the balloon, feeling a little bruised and having tired eyes from having to get up early for the voyage. They both got back up...Barley being the first. “Why did you zig in front of me like that?” she asked. “I didn't zig! You zigged! I zagged!” Pickle started to shoot back. “Doesn’t matter!” Moody Root said seriously. “You two are BOTH still late! We gotta leave soon, or we'll miss the tailwind.“ “I don’t see WHY we had to get up so early!” Barley said as she rubbed her tired eyes. “It’s like 5:00 AM in the morning!” “Provided none of us wake up at this time...” Pickle said. “We still had to wake up to get ready to leave, sis!” “Don't worry.” Kerfluffle said as she giggled. “We wouldn't have left without you.” “Well, that goes without saying, Kerfluffle.” Mrs. Hoofington said as she giggled. “After all, Rainbow Dash is getting married to Starlight Glimmer from Sire’s Hollow.” “And Spike from the Crystal Empire.” Mr. Hoofington finished. “Well, no matter what, It's should be a nonstop fun-o-rama party!“ Barley said excitedly. “Yeah!“ everyone else agreed. “Let 'er loose, Pickle!“ the filly told her brother as he undid the rope that held it in place. The ballon started to lift off in to the air, but then stopped after a few feet. Everyone was confused. “Uh, why aren't we going anywhere?” Kerfluffle asked. “The basket's too heavy.” Petunia pointed out as she noticed what was in it. “Mrs. Hoofington?” Moody Root asked confused. Said pony was shocked upon hearing that. “How dare you!” She said seriously. “I brought the itsy-est valise!” “Honey!” Her husband said, trying to calm her down. Barley saw what made it so heavy, and decided to sacrifice something. “Sorry to do this, Torque. But...” she took Torque’s bag of tools and threw it off the basket. “My tools!” Torque cried out as they were thrown out. “They'll keep 'til we get back.” Petunia said, while her friend groaned in disappointment. “Well, what are you waiting for, Everypony?” Moody Root asked. “Let’s get to that wedding!” He raised the burner which made the balloon go up high as they left. “Next stop, Ponyville!” He steered the ballon in the direction Ponyville was and the Hope Hollow ponies were on their way to where their friends are! Back in Ponyville, Fluttershy was scourging the castle, looking for Applejack. “Applejack!” She said. “I’m sorry I'm late!” She looked around and couldn’t find her. She went in the library. “Applejack?” At that moment, Applejack came in the throne room as well looking for her. “Fluttershy?” Her friend came back in the room as she heard. “Oh, Flutters, I'm so sorry.” She said apologetically. “Have you been here long?” “It's okay.” She said saddened. “What the hell took you so long?” “Okay, you can not tell Big Mac. Okay?” She said nervously. “That I ran into Trenderhoof!” Fluttershy gasped in shock. “Trenderhoof?! Oh my God!“ “It was, it was really nice.” Applejack said happily and calm. “We started talking and I-I ended up having lunch with him.“ Fluttershy was shocked and amazed that she was hitting it off and hanging out with Trenderhoof. “That is so weird!” she replied. “The strange part was, he was really nice, umm and he looks great, but I didn't feel anything at all!” Applejack continued her story and was amazed and surprised as she told her friend, who was also shocked and surprised as well. Fluttershy gasped. “So now, why can't we tell Big Mac?” She asked. “Because it would totally freak him out and tomorrow, we’re leaving the kids at Cheerliee’s while we head on vacation.” The farm mare said nervously. “I just don't want anything to spoil that.” “Oh, Applejack! I’m so happy for you!” Fluttershy said happily to her, which made her friend blush in excitement. “I know!” Applejack replied. Fluttershy gasped, suddenly. “Wow!” She realized. “I owe Twilight 20 bucks!” Applejack was confused. “What?” Fluttershy covered it up, quickly. “On a totally different bet.” she said. At that moment, Twilight and Rarity both came in the throne room as well. “Hey!” Twilight said excitedly. “It's almost time for our vacation!” Rarity said excitedly with Twilight. “I know. Can you believe it?” Applejack said in excitement. “We got you a present!” Twilight said as she gave Applejack the box. Applejack was confused. “Oh, but the vacation’s not 'til tomorrow, Sugarcube!” She said. “I know, but you have to open it today, Darling!” Rarity said as she and Twilight wanted their friend to open it. Applejack sighed. “Okay.” The farm mare opened it and saw that it was... Okay, Rarity snapped first. “Okay! There you go! It's tickets to Las Pegasus!” She said excitedly. Applejack was shocked and amazed. “Wow!” She said. “And, that’s where we’re going to this weekend!” Twilight said as she gasped excitedly. “Oh gosh, it would be perfect, we get to see our pals, plus we get to start enjoying life in the big city without any friendship problems! We can call it our freindshipversary.” Applejack didn’t know what to say at first. “Do we have to?” she finally asked. “This is great, but Rainbow, Spike and Starlight said they didn't want any of us out there.” “Oh, Rainbow just doesn't want us to go through any trouble.” Pinkie said as she came in the room. “Think of how excited she and Spike’ll be when we go out and surprise them! Plus we get to have our own, ani-Vegas-ary! A-Friendship Anniversary!” “Aw shoot.” Applejack gave in. “I reckon you’re right! I mean Rainbow and Spike won’t expect us to see them while they’re there, so I think it’ll work.” “Well, I WAS planning on organizing my baking sheets today, but I’ll go with you guys!” Pinkie said, giving in as well. “It's a great idea, Pinkie!” Twilight told her. “Okay, I'm gonna go too!” Fluttershy said as well. “Yay!” Cozy then came in as well. “Y'know Fluttershy, it's kinda your friendship anniversary.” She said as well. “Oh please, you are not gonna ditch me again like you did with Our Town?” Fluttershy asked jokingly. “Ditch you?” Twilight asked confused. “Fluttershy, you were wanting to play hoof ball with Big Mac and Spike!” “Uh-huh, great story! I'm going!” Cozy said in agreement. Just then, they all heard a loud knock on the door. Twilight answered it. “Barley and Pickle Barrel?!” Twilight asked in shock. “What are you doing here?” “Oh, Princess Twilight!” Barley said to start. “We got the invitation to Rainbow and Spike’s wedding!” Pickle finished. “And, we thought it’d be great if we came, Don cha know!” Petunia said as she and the other Hope Hollow ponies came in as well. “Mayor Skies? Hoofingtons? Moody Root?” Applejack asked in shock. “Kerfluffle? Torque?” Rarity asked. “What are you doing here?!” “We just wanted to tell you that this weekend, we're all gonna go to Las Pegasus to surprise Rainbow Dash and your friends, Spike and Starlight!” Kerfluffle said excitedly. “Including me!! You wanna go?!” “Well, I guess I could take a couple days off school.” Cozy started to say. “Of course you can take a couple days off school, Cozy! Because, this trip includes us!” Petunia told her. Cozy got nervous again. “Oh no, wait a minute, wait, I've got a test coming up. I can't miss that.” She said nervously, which made everyone start to groan in disappointment. “Oh, but I've got tickets for us to go to the Van Gogh exhibit!” Fluttershy said as she got out her tickets. “I've been waiting like a year for this.” “Art lover!” Pinkie coughed. Cozy wheeled around. “What'd you say?” she asked. “I said art lover.” Pinkie said bluntly. “Is that supposed to be an insult?” Fluttershy asked, not knowing if it was a compliment or an insult. “I don't know, I'm very tired.” Pinkie said sarcastically as she yawned. “So Torque, maybe you, Kerfluffle and I could fly out together Saturday.” Applejack suggested. “That sounds great.” Torque said to her. “Yeah?” Mr. Hoofington said. “All right we’ll call the hot air balloon station.” They all later met up at the station and got on the balloon. “Thanks for keeping me company, Guys.” Twilight said with relief. “If you all weren't here, well, I don't know who I'd be talking to right now.“ But suddenly, Windrider and Stormy Flare landed on the ground in front of the others, and took off his as Windrider said with a laugh. "Eh, you'd be talkin' to me.” “Windrider?” Applejack asked in surprise. “Stormy Flare?” Pinkie and Cozy asked in shock. “Are you going to Las Pegasus too.” Stormy and Windrider giggled “I guess you could say that.” He said. And then he explained. "Princess Twilight, Spitfire sent a message last night that she was sick. So, Soarin had to postpone their air show just to take care of her.” "Oh, no! I hope Spitfire’s okay!" Twilight gasped. "I know I'd hate to hear one of my friends were sick." "Yeah, we hope so too, and we feel the same way," Stormy Flare replied with a nod. "But in the meantime, we’re headed to Las Pegasus ourselves. We want to come to your friend’s wedding." "L-Like, in the actual wedding?" Twilight asked, hoping she wasn't hearing things. "Unless Spitfire gets well and unless otherwise, yes," Windrider replied firmly. "After all, with Spitfire away, and Stormy and I getting married soon, I decided to call the shots. So what we say goes.” “So, what do you say?” Stormy asked with a seductive tone in her voice. Twilight thought about it, and after a few minutes, her mind was made up. "We won't let you down, Windrider!" The alicorn firmly vowed, then spun up into the sky as she squealed in glee! "This is the best thing ever! Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!" Then, as she performed a series of odd moves in mid-air, she said in a sing-song voice. "We’re gonna get to our friends’ wedding with Wind Rider and Stormy Flare, 'cause We’re the bestest and We’re awesome and they know it! Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh..." "Uh...Twilight Sparkle?" Windrider called, as he and his fiancé were both unsure what to make of all this. But Rarity just shushed the veteran and told him. "Let her have this, darling. It's not everyday you get to fly alongside your idols.” And she was right. It wasn’t everyday she and her friends would go to someplace extravagant and fly...or ride with one of Rainbow Dash’s idols! She and her friends, along with another new couple, and the ponies of Hope Hollow were about to head out to the big casino in the sky to see some very important friends of theirs. And, they knew where they all were headed too! Las Pegasus was their next target to see their friends! Author's Note And, that’s all for this chapter! Boy, it took me a few days to write this one! But, it was worth it! Twilight and her friends are off to go see their 3 best friends get married! Also, their friends from Hope Hollow have come along for the ride as well! And, so are Windrider and Stormy Flare! What do you think will happen when they all arrive to see their friends before the big day...or rather big night, as they might get married around that time? Well, you’ll just have to wait and see until the next chapter! So, as usual, stay tuned! //-------------------------------------------------------// The Arrival //-------------------------------------------------------// The Arrival The Mane six, minus Starlight Glimmer, Rainbow Dash & Spike were already up in the air in a hot air balloon. Coming with them with their friends from Hope Hollow, and Windrider and Stormy Flare...Spitfire’s mother. Applejack breathed in the fresh flight air as she looked out one side of the balloon. “Aah!” She sighed. “Land sakes! I didn’t know Rainbow, Starlight and Spike chose this place for their wedding! I think they made the right call, don’t y’all think?” Fluttershy looked out, and felt nervous and was starting to board on air sick. “Umm....Applejack?” She asked scared. “I don’t think I like flying up high like this!” She started to barf. Rarity took notice and got out a puke bag for her. “If you need to throw up, do it in here!” She said. Fluttershy barfed in the bag, which made everyone groan in disgust at the sight of her doing so. “I am so excited! Are you so excited? I am so excited!” Pinkie Pie shouted in glee. “Las Pegasus is a wild vacation spot! It's just one big party!” she got out her party cannon and fired a huge beam of confetti and it landed on her friends and herself. Pinkie looked around and realized she goofed up. “Whoops.” Barley was excited as she and her brother looked out. “I can’t believe we’re actually coming here!” She squealed in amazement. “All those lights and sounds, not to mention the crowds... Oh, just the thought of it is just extraordinary!” “And considering it’s where Rainbow Dash is getting married, Don’t cha know?” Petunia chimed in as well. “I know Las Pegasus doesn't seem like anypony’s cup of tea...sometimes...” Twilight said. “But, Sunny and I have total faith we wouldn't all have been called unless you were the perfect ponies for coming to the wedding.” “And it’s to your Star pupil and the hero of the Crystal Empire!” Sunny joined in while the others “Mmmm....hmmmmmmed.” “Right!” Twilight said, nervous and excited as she did her deep breathing technique she learned from Cadence. They all arrived at the station for Las Pegasus. One by one, Everypony got off. Twilight breathed in the excitement for the soon to be coming moment! “Ah, Las Pegasus!” She said. “Here we are! It’s not entirely as bad as we thought, right?” The others looked around and smiled at what they were seeing. There were ponies running around in excitement, riding in rides...it was chaos! But, it was the good kind of chaos! “Probably not as bad as we think.” Applejack said as she broke the silence. “It’s worse!” Fluttershy said in fear, as she saw the excitement whizzing by her and Applejack. Twilight turned to them in shock. “WHAT?!” “PSYCHE!” Applejack and Fluttershy said, jokingly as the giggled. Twilight did a “seriously?!” Face at them, as they all went inside the Las Pegasus hotel. The barrel twins rushed in and were ECSTATIC at how the place looked from the inside! “This place is AWESOME!” Barley said as she and Pickle were amazed by everything they just saw going on in the main hotel lobby! “I know!” Pickle chimed in. “This place seems a lot more suited to you or even Rainbow Dash.” He said to Pinkie. “It’s just one big party for EVERYBODY!” Pinkie shouted in glee! “I can’t wait for it to never end! WHOO HOO!” “Wow!” Mrs. Hoofington said as she and her husband saw the hotel lobby and how things were going on around. “This place is paradise!” “I know!” Mr. Hoofington said. “It makes Manehattan look like a cheap thrift store!” “Oh my gosh!” Kerfluffle said. “I’ve never been here before! And already, this place is like a carnival!” “It’s so wonderful!” Stormy Flare said as she saw how extravagant it was. “I know!” Windrider said as well. “It’s everything we ever wished for!” He held his fiancé close to him as they both nuzzled lovingly. “Golly, this is great!” Cozy said in excitement. “This place is so much better than the Crystal Empire! This mare dressed like Cleopatra gave me a coupon, a 99 cent steak and lobster dinner. Huh?” She showed her coupon for everyone to see. Fluttershy gasped as she started to barf when she heard “lobster dinner”, and Applejack and Torque gasped. “Cozy, you don’t eat seafood!” Torque started to object. “Well, I know I don’t!” Cozy said jokingly. “All I’m saying is...for 99 cents, I'd eat you.” Everyone was a little frightened. “Okay, I can totally settle down here.” Everypony calmed down. “It's got everything I could ever want, including our friends! Look!“ They all turned to see Rainbow Dash, Starlight Glimmer and Spike all meeting up in the middle with two very familiar ponies that Applejack would know in an instant. They all heard a voice that didn’t go unnoticed. “Ladies and gentleponies, despite what my competition might say, I know you've come to this fair city to be entertained, and I assure you there is nothing more entertaining than the astounding wedding for Rainbow Miriam Dash!” The voice said. Applejack gasped and went to the crowd to see who it was. She saw two sales ponies in carnival like outfits and one of them had a moustache. She got an angry look on her face as she knew instantly who they were. “Now, I suppose that might be true if it weren't for the existence, and far superiorly entertaining presence, of the show-stopping exotic animal act that Ponet Fantastique includes as well!” another voice said. Fluttershy heard the voices too as she and Cozy went over to meet up with their friend. “Those voices sound familiar.” Fluttershy said. “They sure do.” Applejack said with an angry look and a serious tone. “Flim and Flam.” She went back to normal calm tone with her friends. “I know, I had grudges with them, but that don’t mean I hate them. I mean...I can’t believe that our friends were called up to their hotel to have their wedding.” “Now, that you mention it, it does sound shocking.” Fluttershy said seriously. “Also, now that I think about it, I did have lunch with them a few days ago, and I lied when I said I had lunch with Trenderhoof.” Applejack told her friends. “I told them about putting things behind us and they said they were okay with it. We have our weekly lunches here every week. I’m surprised I didn’t tell y’all that earlier.” Fluttershy and Cozy were shocked that Applejack told them all this! Finally, Cozy spoke up. “What?” She said. “You cheated on Big Mac with them, and you’re having lunch dates with them?” Applejack was shocked that Cozy asked something entirely random, it had nothing to do with any of that. “We were on a break!” She said with emphasis to the fliers. “Yeah, sure!” Fluttershy said jokingly, then shifted back to serious. “But, you can’t tell Big Mac about what you’ve been doing with them!” “Oh, shucks. You’re right.” Applejack said with worry in her voice. “I guess, I got a little wound up in all the grudges, and the lunch dates, and the whole ‘We were on a break’ thing, that I almost let if affect me and Big Mac’s relationship.” “A little wound up?” Cozy asked. “I thought you should have told Big Mac about your lunches with them,which is probably what you shoulda done. Huh?” “You think?!” The farm mare said, stressed, which effectively scared the two fliers. “Applejack, settle!” Cozy said, serious. “I think we should address the more important question. In this day and age, how dumb are you?” Fluttershy asked. This made Applejack’s face burn red with rage like Sunset Shimmer’s...but she calmed down using Cadence’s technique. “I think you guys are right.” She said. “I may have grudges that cloud my life, but sometimes, that’s just how life is. Sometimes, things can go right, and sometimes, things can go wrong. I just don’t know how to deal with such things in my life.” She hid her face in her hat, which Fluttershy uncovered it from. “Oh, Applejack.” She said. “I’m sure it’s probably nothing to worry about. I’m pretty sure they are probably working to get our friends wedding ready, and you don’t want to worry about that. Don’t you?” Applejack started to raise her hoof, but thought twice. “I know!” Cozy piped up. “Maybe, the Las Pegasus ponies have something in common with what you’re thinking.” “Oh, shoot.” Applejack said. “You’re right. Now, let’s go meet our friends before they have their wedding.” “Okay!” Her friends said as they made their way to Flim and Flam, which would lead them to seeing their best friends who were about to be married on the fateful night. They all saw their friends with the two sales ponies as they met up with them. Flim and Flam were already discussing the plans for their wedding, and their friends were just waiting to spring up and surprise them. “Okay, girls, you successfully are getting married in Las Pegasus and that's no mean feat!” Flim said as his brother nodded. “Most ponies might wonder what it feels like.” Flim said in excitement. “I know!” Starlight said in excitement, with her soulmates smiling and nodding in agreement. At that moment, their friends all showed up and surprised them. “Oh my God!” Twilight squealed in excitement, which started the lovers as they screamed in surprise. “Hey! Rainbow Dash! Starlight! Spike!” The three lovers all started to panic. “Hey! Hey!! Wow!” Twilight said as they all group hugged them, barely giving them a chance to breathe. They released them from the excruciating, tight hug. “Hi!” Starlight nervously said, as her lovers smiled and giggled nervously as well. “What-what are you guys doing here?” Rainbow asked. “We thought we told you not to come.” “Why are you with Flim and Flam?” Rarity asked, almost about to do a “gag me” gesture. “Can we cut?” Rainbow asked nervously to the brothers. “Yeah, our friends are here, We’re gonna take a little break.” “Of course.” Flim said as they took the time to talk to their friends about what was going on. “What’s going on?” Windrider asked curiously. “All right, all right.” Rainbow said, as her friends were wanting some answers. She took in a deep breath, and told them. “Flim and Flam are helping us prepare for our wedding.” “Why?!” Pinkie asked. “What happened?!” “Well, we wanted it to be extravagant, and we didn’t want you know because we didn’t know how Applejack would react.” Starlight told them. Applejack gasped in shock as she didn’t know that they were worried about how she was going to react to all this until now. “I'm so sorry.” Applejack said. “I didn’t know you actually cared about me.” She said as she smiled. “Look, We’re sorry we didn't tell ya.” Rainbow said. “No-no, that's okay, apparently there's a new policy where we don't have to share everything with everybody.” Moody Root said, grinning in jokingly nice way. “I knew you guys were not okay with that.“ Barley said, as she pointed to them, which made them blush. “So you’re finally getting married!” Petunia said as she smiled and tears with joy. “Wow!” “So, that’s why you all decided to come and surprise us?” Spike asked in surprise. “Yes.” Mr. Hoofington said as his wife nodded in agreement. Pinkie was excited as she whipped out her party cannon and fired a huge beam of confetti. “I LOVE LAS PEGASUS!!!” She squealed as they confetti landed on her and friends. “Pinkie Pie!” Twilight said. “Honestly!” “Whoops?” Pinkie said as she blushed, which made Twilight’s roll her eyes in amusement. The Flim Flam brothers were a little shocked as they felt that some of Twilight’s friends were looking at them. So, they shied a little bit. “Hey-hey don't look at us!” Flim said defensively. “My brother and I just work here!” This made everyone smile, giggle, or blush in embarrassment in a funny way. Later on, in Starlight’s hotel room, Rainbow was just wrapping up some of the last-minute preparations for her big wedding night with Starlight and Spike. Today was the last day they would get to spend their lives alone. Tonight, and going into tomorrow, they would officially start off their lives as a married couple...or a married triple, depending on how you guys would say it. As Rainbow was fitting her dress for the night, Applejack came in to greet her. “Hi.” She said. Rainbow took notice and smiled at her. “Hi. Hey, y'know in wedding times this was more than just a simple gown as Rarity would say.” She told her friend. “Really?” Applejack asked as her ears perked up. “Yeah, sure! Sure!” Rainbow said, interested in her comment. “They would uh, they would make a work of art with it! They would even transform it into a gown for their little daughters and or flower girls or something. And sometimes, they would even sell it, or have a cocktail with…” “Rainbow, I uh!” Applejack interrupted in the nick of time. “ I can't believe this is how I'm spending my Friendship problem anniversary here.” “All right well, I'll take you and Fluttershy someplace nice then.” The wonderbolt said. She then got out a top hat that was filled with tons of money. “Look!” She showed her friend the money. “A guy tipped me a hundred bucks today.” Applejack looked at the money and was surprised somepony even tipped her that much. “Whoa!” she said in shock. “Yeah-yeah, Barker was playing blackjack for like an hour and he won $5,000.” Rainbow said in excitement. “Can you believe that? $5,000!” Just then, Applejack came up with a devilish idea, along with a smirk that came with it. “Y'know, if I won $5,000 I'd join a gym, y'know build up my upper body and hit Trenderhoof from behind with a stick!“ She mimicked a stick movement, and swung it around like Bruce Lee would. “Wait a minute!” Rainbow said as her ears perked up. “That’s it! Why don’t I do this? I’ll get Starlight and Spike to try on their dresses and suits, book our reservation for our wedding, go to our rehearsal dinner, practice our vows, and finally go to the little chapel at the hotel and get married? It’s that simple!” Applejack stopped her swinging motion and turned her attention to her fast friend. “Good luck!” she said to her, smiling with excitement and that she was proud of her friend that she was finally getting married. “Applejack!” Rainbow said sarcastically and calm as well as serious at the same time. “I don't need luck. I have this wedding thought through!” She got up and left her room to go meet up with Starlight and Spike to execute her wedding plan. “I see.” The farm mare said as she shook her head in sarcasm and proudness. She was happy that friend was getting married, and it was that same fateful night that she would do that. She just had to meet Starlight and Spike, get their dresses and suits fitted, have their rehearsal dinner, rehearse their vows and get married! What could possibly spoil their night of happiness? However, as Applejack left to meet up with her friends to meet them for their wedding, unbeknownst to the wonderbolt, Windrider and Stormy Flare have some wedding plans for their own as well. Author's Note And, that all for this chapter! Twilight and her friends have met up with their friends who are going to get married, and Rainbow Dash is ready to get her night of her wedding ready to go! But, wait! It appears that Windrider and Stormy Flare have some wedding plans of their own! What do you think their plans are? And how will Twilight and the others react to this news? Find out in the next chapter! //-------------------------------------------------------// Pinkie's Hand Twin //-------------------------------------------------------// Pinkie's Hand Twin At the Las Pegasus hotel, the mood was still in full swing as Pinkie Pie walked over to the casino room. She was already excited that she was going to her friend’s wedding, but she was even more excited because, she was at the room she loved the most: the game room! And, she couldn’t have her excitement contained even more! She trotted around and saw Barker ready to pit a few chips on the blackjack table. “How about 50?” He asked. “Do I hear 50 bucks?” Pinkie zoomed over and got her chips out. “Can I change a hundred?“ she asked him. “Changing one hundred!” Barker said, as he handed Pinkie her cash. “Good luck, Ms. Pie.” “Let's ride.” Pinkie said as she bet all $100 dollars. Barker called out, “13!” And spun the blackjack roller to its number. “Hit me!” Pinkie said. Somepony did so, and Pinkie groaned in disappointment, as that meant she lost all her money! “Ohh man!” Just then, she noticed a pink hoof right next to her! “Wait!” She said as she examined it. “Hey, what’s your name?” She asked. The pony that was right next to Pinkie looked identical to her, and she was confused at her question. “What?” She asked confused. “What’s your name?” Pinkie asked again, The pony was shocked upon seeing her like this, and answered her question. “You know me.” She said to her, shocked. Pinkie was confused at first, but then realized who it was. “Oh my goodness. Have we met?” She asked her. “I’m your mirror pool clone.” She said. Pinkie gasped in shock, but then realized that it DID look like her! It WAS her! “Oh, that’s right.” She said as she giggled. “Yeah. I’m Diane!” The clone introduced herself to Pinkie, which made her further shocked. “Wanna get some snacks?” Pinkie nodded in shock and excitement, as that meant she found her long lost, sister clone! She had to tell Twilight and the others when she had the chance! Later, after her date with Diane, she raced over to Windrider’s room and saw Windrider himself, as well as Sunny Skies! “Windrider! Sunny! You two are not gonna believe this! I have found my identical hand twin!“ she yelled in glee. Both ponies were confused as they did not know what Pinkie was talking about exactly. “What?” They asked. “My identical hand twin!” Pinkie repeated. “What's an identical hand twin?” Windrider asked, wanting to know more about Pinkie’s discovery. “What's it sound like, Boys?” Pinkie asked them. “It's a pony with my identical hooves! It was incredible! Guys, her hands were exactly like mine! It-it was like looking at my hands in a mirror!“ “Are you sure you weren't looking at your hands in a mirror?“ Sunny asked to make sure. “Don’t you see what this means?!” She said in glee. “I'm gonna be a millionaire!” “How?” The boys asked, totally confused. “Look, I don't have it all worked out yet, but it's gotta mean big money!” She said as she got out her hooves. “Come on! Identical hands!“ “Again I must go back to, how?” Windrider asked again. “This is Las Pegasus, man!” Pinkie said like Joey would. “Ponies will pay to see freaky stuff! Okay, how much would you pay to see this hand twice?” She pulled out on of her hooves. “Huh?” “Y'know, I-I can't really put a price on that, Pinkie.” Windrider said. Pinkie started to deflate and her eyes started to get sad. “Hey, are you unsupporting me again?” she asked weakly. “No! No! We support you 100%!” Windrider said, which made Pinkie fluff back up “I just didn't, we didn't get it right away. Y'know now we’re all caught up! Identical hand twins! It's a million-dollar idea!” Pinkie squealed as she left to embark on her journey to find Diane and tell her about her idea. But when she heard the knock on her door, she froze in fright. She calmed herself down as she opened the door to reveal Stormy Flare. “Hey.” She said to Pinkie. “Stormy!” Pinkie said in shock. “Yeah?” she asked. “I found my identical hoof twin!” Pinkie told her. “Ohh, you are so lucky!” she said to the party mare. She turned to Windrider. “Hey! So, still got the plans for tonight?” She asked him. Windrider out on a sultry look and smiled at her. “Yep.” He said. “But, Pinkie came and told me about her hand twin idea.” “I know.” Stormy said, just as sultry as he was. “Now, do you want to catch some dinner, and then head to the casino?” “You bet!” Windrider said as he started to leave the room. “See you later, Pinkie.” He said as he left. Pinkie watch the two leave, and had some thought brew up in her head. “I wonder what romantic things they’ll be doing tonight?” she thought. She then left the hotel room to find Diane. As she left, Sunny wanted to know what that was all about. He felt a costume hat in his room, and thought of an idea. “I should really start wearing hats more often.” he thought as a sneaky smiled curved onto his face. She arrived at the blackjack table to find Diane and saw one of the trapeze artists there. She wondered where she was. “Uhh, hey. Where's Diane?” She asked. The trapeze artist took notice at her and asked her. “Who’s Diane?” “She looks just exactly like me and literally acts like me like she came from some kind of mirror pool.” Pinkie explained to him. “Oh! That Diane!” The trapeze artist said to her. “Yes, she’s one of our popular ponies her at Las Pegasus! She should be about right to the Girls bathroom.” “Okay!” Pinkie said as she started to leave, but stopped to ask him one more question. “And by the way, How you doin?” “Very busy.” the artist told the party mare. “Right! Okay.” Pinkie said as she went to the bathroom to find her mirror pool clone. She went into the girls bathroom and saw her washing her hooves! She was excited to see her as she walked up behind her. “Oh-oh-oh, yeah!” she said, catching Diane’s attention. “That's right, you take good care of those babies!” Diane was startled for a second upon hearing that voice. But when she heard that voice, she knew who it was! She turned to see her clone right behind her. “Pinkie!” Diane said in excitement as she hugged her clone sister. Pinkie broke the hug, and decided to tell her sister her plan. “Okay, Diane? I’ve got an idea that could make us famous in Las Pegasus...Equestria even!” Diane squealed in excitement. “What would that be?” She asked. “I was thinking you and I could be hoof twins!” Pinkie said, which made Diane jump up and down in glee. “I was thinking that same thing too, Pinkie!” Diane said. “This is going to be the best get rich plan ever!” She hugged and kissed her sister on the cheek. “Okay, so what are we going to do about this hand twin thing?!” Pinkie asked Diane. “Something. Look, you and I have been given a gift. Okay?” Diane said. “We have to do something with it. Like-like, hand modeling! Huh? Or-or magic! And you know Manehattan will want to talk to us!“ “Those plans DO sound good.” Pinkie said, thinking these plans over. “I know!” Diane said as she cheered and thought about this too. “Ooh! I know!” Pinkie said in glee. “What? What?” Diane said, getting more excited by the minute. “We could have our own show!” Pinkie suggested, which made Diane jump up and down in more excitement. “Y'know we could clap our hands together people will love it! Huh?“ “Yeah!” Diane said. “And, I even wrote a song for us for when me meet together!” She got out her song sheet for her clone. “Oh wait! That’s today!” She and Pinkie both giggled as Diane sung her song. “This hand is your hand! This hand is my hand! Oh wait, that's your hand! No wait, it's my hand!” she and Pinkie got their hooves out just as they sung their song. “That’s the best we ever sounded!” Pinkie said after hearing the song, and doing the motions. “We sound so great together!” Diane said as well. “Want to hear the chorus?” “Do I ever!” Pinkie said, and her sister sung the chorus for her hand twin/reunion song while Pinkie joined in. Author's Note Well, that’s it for this chapter! So far, Pinkie has met her mirror pool clone, Diane and now she and Diane both have a plan to hit it to the big time! What do you think Pinkie and Diane will do to devise their big time dream? Also, what will happen with Rarity in the next chapter? And, we’ve still got more of the cast to cover as we delve into the next chapter, coming up soon! Also, I came up with the name Diane, because I saw Pinkie’s clone from “The Saddle Row Review”, and the name also came from my Aunt Diane, so...it kinda worked out. Yeah. Anyways, find out to see what happens next soon. //-------------------------------------------------------// Rarity's Lurker //-------------------------------------------------------// Rarity's Lurker At the Las Pegasus casino inside the hotel, Pinkie and Diane were already figuring out their plan to be famous. Meanwhile, the other ponies were having some adventures of their own. The barrel twins and some of the Mane six were already scouring the place to find out some new activities to do, before they all went to their friend’s wedding. Cozy, Pickle and Barley were wanting to play the extreme ring toss that was just set up and open in the game room, so they were looking for it. “I think the extreme ring toss is that way.” Pickle said. “Ahh.” Barley sighed with relief and excitement. As she was flying by, some colts and fillies were laughing at her. But the silly thing was...she didn’t know about what her brother did! He had secretly drawn a beard and moustache on her face with a sharpie, and sooner or later, she would find out. Barley saw the kids who were laughing at smiled. “Ohh, kids love me.” she said warming. They saw Rarity who was about to go to one of the Casino slot machines and zoomed over to her, who noticed them. “Hey, Cozy, Barley and Pickle, Darlings!” Rarity said happily to them as she hugged them tight, before letting them go. “Rarity!” The fillies said as they hugged and let go. “This is extraordinary, Darlings!” Rarity said with complete excitement. “We got lots of time to hang out! We can go play some games on the slot machine, got grab some food to eat, we can...” just then, she noticed Barley’s fake face drawn on her. She giggled. “Why, Barley Darling? Did you go to a costume party? Let me guess...Pancho Vila?“ Barley was confused. “What are you talking about?” She asked. “I don't…” she then turned to see one of those crazy mirror you’d see at an amusement park, and saw herself with the face that Pickle drew on her. She was shocked! “Oh my God, you drew on me?!” she asked in absolute horror. Pickle and Cozy saw that she found out, and all they could do was let out a stifled giggle. “Uh...gotcha?” He managed to say. Barley was a little miffed at him. “Guys, I have been walking around like this since we left our hotel room! I can—you two have so crossed a line.” She shouted at them and went for the men’s bathroom. “Barley! Wait! The girl’s room is that way.“ Pickle said, pointing in the direction of the room, which made his sister turn around, and head for that room. But, not before she hit him HARD in the gut. While Cozy giggled a little. As Pickle was trying to go to a game, Rarity saw a pony win at a slot machine and was disgusted. “Ugh!” She said. “What?” Petunia asked her. ”That's like the third time that mare’s won on a machine I was playing.” Rarity said, pointing to the mare that won on said machine. “Oooohhh.” Petunia groaned. “I'll bet she's one of those people.” “M-M-Mole people?” Rarity asked, getting scared. “What? No-no, a lurker.” Petunia said, calming her down. “Oh.” Rarity said in realization. Then asked. “What's a lurker?“ “Okay, when you're playing a machine and it hasn't paid out, a lurker waits for you to give up and then…” Petunia started to explain. “Kills you?” Rarity finished in shock. “No.” She told her. “They swoop in and steal your jackpot.” “Ohhh!” Rarity realized. “How do you know about this?“ “My mom used to do it.” Petunia explained. “That's how she paid for all my dance—karate lessons. It’s a deadly but beautiful sport.” Just then, Barley came back as Pickle came back “All right, it won't come off!” She complained. “What?!” Pickle and Cozy both said in shock. “It won't come off!” Barley repeated. “Oh, Sweet Celestia!” Pickle said in complete shock. “Sis-sis, are-are-are you sure?” “No.” She said to him jokingly. “Actually, I took it off, so it looks like we’re good.” “Good!” Pickle sighed in relief. Just then, Pinkie and Diane both came over to their friends. “Hey-hey-hey you came back!” Pinkie said. “PINKIE!” The barrels said in excitement. “Who's your friend?” Pinkie said sarcastically as she looked at Barley’s washed up beard and face. “He's hot!” That earned Pickle another playful nudge from his sis. “Thanks man.” He said jokingly. “And speaking of which. I found my identical hand twin!” Pinkie said which made everyone confused. “I think what Pinkie means to say is that...she found me!” Diane told them. “I’m Diane! Pinkie’s long lost mirror pool clone sister!” Everyone was now shocked. Rarity was the first to break the ice about this Pinkie Pie “imposter”. “Did you again used the Mirror Pool?” Rarity asked. “"W-what?! Pinkie! I said you NOT to use the Mirror Pool! Why wouldn't you even understand after a warning?” Pinkie was surprised that Rarity even SAID such a response to her. "NO, RARITY! I haven't even used the Mirror Pool!” She said. “Then, why Is SHE here?” Rarity asked. “Because, she’s my identical hand twin, Duh!” Pinkie explained. “I found her at the casino earlier. She’s the pony whose hooves are exactly like mine! This thing is a gold mine!” “What?!” Rarity asked her in shock. “That's not gonna make you any money!” “Okay.” Pinkie said beat. “Well, if that's how you feel about it, fine!” Diane said strictly to the fashionista. “None of you get to live with me and my sister in our great big hand-shaped mansion!” She then pointed to Petunia, and the barrel twins. “Except uh, you guys. You can live in the thumb.” The barrels were surprised. “Oh, well. That’s swell, don’t ya know?” Petunia said warming as the pies smiled and went over to execute their plan. Rarity was still confused on how to wrap her head around this, however. Meanwhile in Rainbow’s hotel room, Rainbow, Starlight and Spike were going over their plans for the wedding, with Starlight and Spike waiting while trying dresses and suits, Rainbow calling the chapel to book the plans. “Yes, hello. I have a question. Umm, I am trying to plan this place for my friend's wedding.” Rainbow called. “Yeah, a unicorn to dragon and Pegasus pony.” Starlight and Spike overheard the conversation and giggled. “Thank you.” Starlight blared at her before shifting back to whistling and not looking at anything. “No, they didn't think so. I know it's like...anyway, umm well, we’re trying to get married. What-what do you suggest we do?” The two were still listening “Yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah. Oh! Okay. Okay, thank you!” Starlight and Spike both got excited at this tone as Rainbow hung up. “Yeah, we’ve got our wedding booked at the little white chapel.” She explained. “What else did he say?” Starlight asked. “Umm, he said he thought I was funny. So…” her two soon-to-be-wed friends flared at her. “Okay, look-look umm, let's just go downstairs, and we'll have some fun before tonight.” “Rainbow Dash, no!“ Starlight said seriously. “Oh, come on! Guys!” Rainbow tried to tell them “Rainbow, we are unprepared!!” Spike pointed out. “Look, just because you guys aren’t prepped yet doesn't mean you shouldn't have any fun! Okay? And besides, This is Las Pegasus! Hello! There is tons…of…funhere. No other. No. Come on! No one will notice, I swear!” Rainbow left the room, while Spike and Starlight followed. They later came back with Rainbow giggling sheepishly and her other two lovers glaring at her angrily. “Okay, there was some staring...” she started to explain. “What the hell was all that about?!” Starlight spat out to her. “You just can’t see it, can you Guys?” Rainbow tried to point. “What is there to point about?” Spike asked her. “We’re totally unprepared, we’re at the casino and ponies were staring at us!” “Well...” she started to say. “Maybe, they aren’t used to seeing a baby dragon around these parts and I love the way you waddle so much.” She said lovingly to him in her baby-talk. “Waddle?!” Spike shouted as he let out a disgruntled yell. “Wait, Spike!” Rainbow tried to say. “I was only saying those things, because I wanted to get you guys ready for the wedding, because...I love you!” The two stopped and turned to their friend, with sly grins on their faces. “You really love us, Rainbow Dash?” Spike said heartwarming as tears of joy came out his eyes. “Rainbow, you sneaky mare!” Starlight said as she wrapped her legs around the wonderbolt and kissed her. “That was a sly trick you used.” Rainbow blushed happily. “Well, it’s a role I was destined to play.” She said. “Okay, if we’re gonna prepare for our wedding, we’ll have to do a few things!” Starlight started. “Right!” Spike said. “First, we gotta put on our nice dresses and suits...” Starlight continued. “Then, let’s put them on!” Rainbow said, and brought out their dresses and suits. When they put them on, Rainbow and Starlight were both in white wedding dresses, with Rainbow’s being a little aerodynamic, like a wonderbolt, and Starlight’s a little more sorcerer-like. Spike ogled at them, and was so surprised that he almost drooled. “Spike?” His two lovers said. “You girls look...gorgeous!” Spike said as he smiled. His lovers did the same. “Awwww...thanks, Spike.” Starlight said. “And, you do too!” Rainbow said, pointing at Spike’s outfit. Spike looked down at his suit, and she was right. Spike did look good. His suit was the one he had worn at the Grand Galloping Gala with Twilight and the others, only Starlight had adjusted it to fit the drake’s wings. “Thanks, girls.” Spike said as she smiled. “Okay. Before we have our big night...” Rainbow said. “We’re going to have a special toast. So...” she made a beeline for the mini bar in their room, and got out a few alcoholic drinks. “Here you go, guys!” She said as she handed them to her two lovers. Spike was confused as to why she got some beverages out of the minibar. “Oh, hey y'know, they-they really overcharge you for that stuff.” he said, unsure about all this. “It’s alright, Spike!” Rainbow said, as she opened Spike’s bottle and put it in his mouth. “We gotta get prepared, so drink up!” “Wait, what?!” Spike asked in shock. “So, to prepare for our wedding, we basically drink a lot of alcohol until we get dizzy?” “Yep!” Starlight said, smiling. “In fact, a lot of couples who get married here ARE drunk!” “And, In fact...” Rainbow said, taking Spike’s bottle, opening it, and pushing it into his mouth. “We’ll make sure our Spikey-Wikey gets his just desserts.” “Huh?!” Spike asked. “Wait...wait!” But, Rainbow had already shoved the bottle in his mouth, making the drake guzzle it down. “Rainbow Dash...what are you doing?” Rainbow kept feeding more drinks to give him that dizzy feeling. “You know they overprice you for—Mmph!” Spike could talk as Rainbow giggled while she fed him the alcoholic beverage. Starlight saw her friend force feeding him drinks, and giggled drunkenly. She walked up to him and caressed his chest, rubbing it down to the groin. “Starlight?! Hey! Get your hooves off me!” Spike said. Starlight responded by slapping his belly hard, yet playfully. “Hey! Watch it!” The drake yelled, starting to feel drunk. “You know...I was going to share, right?” “Sure...” Starlight said, drunk. “We’ll make sure the lover drake deserves the whole thing.” “Well, Duh!” Spike replied. He was force fed the alcohol, until finally he hiccuped. His two lovers smiled at this, as this was a good sign. “I think we wasted him good, Starry.” Rainbow said. “Eeyup.” Starlight replied. “We sure did!” At that moment, they all hiccuped and were woozy in the room. “Don’t worry, Spikey! It’s all on us!” Rainbow went to the minibar and got out a package of macadamia nuts. “Macadamia nut?” she asked. “Umm… Wow! That's-that must be some pricey nut!” Spike said, woozy as Rainbow opened the container, And replied with a “Hm-mmm!” “Really like those Macadamia nuts, huh?” He asked. “Nope!” Rainbow replied happily as she put one in her mouth and spat it out, and did it again in another direction. Meanwhile at the Casino, Rarity was having problems of her own as she was trying to get her locker out of the casino slot machines. The lurker stuck her head around one of the aisles, which really made her perturbed. She had finally had enough as she shouted at her. “Get out of here, you lurker!“ she didn’t move. Rarity threw a quarter to make her go away. “Go on! Get!” Just then, Stormy Flare and Windrider arrived to her, arm in arm. “Hey, Rarity!” Windrider said. Rarity turned to them, as was excited. “Ooh!” She said. “You’re ready for the big night?” Stormy just smiled. “Yeah, couldn't live without the Love.“ she said as they started to kiss. Rarity smiled. “Ohh, get a room.” she said. “We have one.” Stormy said, confused. “I know. Use it.” she said seriously, to which they understood and went over to a craps table. Meanwhile back in Rainbow Dash’s, Starlight’s and Spike’s room, the three soon-to-be-married lovers were enjoying life with Spike drinking a beer, and the two mares examining themselves in the mirror lovingly, and ready for their wedding. “Oh my God.” Rainbow said happily. “I look like my mom, Windy Whistles.” Starlight smiled in agreement. “All right.” Spike clapped his claws to catch the girls’ attention. “Before we go to the little white chapel to get married, we can bring Las Pegasus up to us!” He got out a deck of cards. “All right, come on, come on, we'll play some blackjack. Here we go.” “Okay!” The girls said as Spike dealt out the cards to everyone in the room. “13.” Spike called out. “Hit me!” Rainbow said. Spike did so. “Oohh, 23.” Spike said. “Which is what we play to at this casino! You win 10 bits!” He handed 10 bits to Rainbow, as Starlight was excited and ready for her turn. “I bet 20.” Starlight said in excitement. “You're right!” Spike said as he gave her the 20 she won. Their game went on for many minutes, and still the three lovers were still going at it with Blackjack, at Rainbow’s ideas to ‘Bring Las Pegasus up to them’. All three have finished consuming the drinks from the minibar, and needless to say, they were feeling no pain and were still going on. “Hit me.” Rainbow and Starlight both said, as Spike did the same. They kept saying it, and Spike kept decking the cards out. The two mares said it slowly with each turn. In a matter of time, Spike ran out of cards. “We need more cards.” he said weakly. All three of them started laughing. They then heard a knock on the door. “That must be our alcohol and beers.” Spike said as he slowly got up to answer the door. It was Pinkie who replied “Hey!” to them. “Ohh, it's Pinkie!” Spike said in drunken glee. “I love Pinkie!” He hugged her. “Ohh, I love Pinkie!” Rainbow said, as she and Starlight hugged her. “Pinkie lives with a gator! Hey!” Starlight said, drunkenly as she hugged her with Rainbow. “Hi!” Pinkie told them. Diane also was with her as well as she said “Hi.” “Look-look-look you guys, Pinkie and I need some help! Okay?” Diane told them. “Someone is going to have to let us perform at the big stage.” “I'll do it.” Spike said groggily. “Hey, whatever you need me to do, I'm your drake.” He started to sit on the bed, not realizing that he was 2 feet away from it. He missed, and fell on his butt. He was okay, however. “Whoa-oh-whoa! Are you, are you okay?” Starlight asked drunkenly. “Yeah! We’re fine! Thanks!” Diane said. “Come on, Pinkie!” She started to head out to the stage where the trapeze artists were. Pinkie was about to join her, but as she left, she got an idea. She turned to Rainbow Dash. “Hey Rainbow, how you doin'?” She asked. “I'm doin' good, baby. How you doin'?” the wonderbolt replied, seductively and drunk. Pinkie giggled for a second before she smelled something fowl. She turned to Spike. “Spike, don't let them drink anymore!” She said. Then, she left. “Ohh, here's that Macadamia nut!” Spike said as he picked it up into his mouth. “Nope! Something else.” He threw it under the bed. “Oops! All right, so what do you want to do now?” Starlight asked jokingly. “I wanna get out of the room!” Spike told them. “Y'know, I…I‘m bored. I want to actually have a night on the town.” Starlight nodded while Rainbow opened the door, and checked to see if no one else was there. Sure enough no one else was. She quickly turned to them. “Okay, y'know what guys? There's only one way to leave this hotel room.” What happened next was that Rainbow and Starlight in the wedding dresses and Spike in his wedding suit...who were all totally drunk were walking arm and arm through the casino greeting ponies along the way. “Well hello! I'm Spike!” The drake said out loud, drunkenly. “Good luck to ya!” Starlight said out loud, drunkenly. “Excuse me sir, you've got a little something right here.” Rainbow Dash said, as she pointed to the corner of a pony’s mouth, and all three of them laughed. Then then made their way to a statue of a naked person and oohed and Ahhed at it. “Wow!” Starlight said, groggily. “Hello!” Rainbow said, bowing down. “Hello!” Spike said, bowing down. “Hello!” Starlight said, bowing down. “Hello!” All three of them, said bowing down at the statue before leaving With Spike meowing like a cat. They were out on the town, and drunk alright, but they were ready for their big night! And this would be a big night, no one would forget! Author's Note And, that’s it for this chapter! Rainbow, Spike and Starlight are all...drunk?! Why are they out on the town in the casino? And, what about the other ponies? What about Stormy Flare and Windrider? These and other answers will be revealed in the next chapter! Find out soon! //-------------------------------------------------------// The Most Amazing Proposition Ever! //-------------------------------------------------------// The Most Amazing Proposition Ever! 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! Author's Note And, that’s it for this chapter! Everyone is worried about Rainbow Dash, Starlight and Spike. But, now they know where they’re headed, and are in their way to stop it before it spirals out of control! Rainbow, and the lovers haven’t been seen in this chapter...what will happened for them, when their friends arrive at the Little White Chapel? And what about Windrider, Stormy Flare & the Hoofingtons? What about THEIR wedding?! The answers will all be revealed in the next chapter! //-------------------------------------------------------// Viva Las Vegas! //-------------------------------------------------------// Viva Las Vegas! As Windrider, Stormy Flare & The Hoofingtons arrived at the Little White Chapel, they were easily getting rid of their nervousness and preparing for their special hard-rolled 8 wedding! However, they also had the same mission: To find Spike, Rainbow Dash & Starlight Glimmer, and bring them to the Mane Six, before this whole drunk situation spiralled out of control. The two lovebirds entered the Chapel with the Hoofingtons following them, and stopped when they saw the attendant, right behind the counter. They decided to tell her. “Hello!” Windrider said cheerfully. “One marriage please!” “Yep, we wanna get married!” Stormy Flare piped up in agreement. “Well, there's a service in progress.” The attendant said to them as they entered. “Have a seat.“ The two former wonderbolts thought that sounded reasonable. “All right.” they both said, as they sat down on one of the chairs in the lobby. The Hoofingtons joined them as well. They waited for a little bit, and after a few moments of silence, Windrider started to hum some music. “Dum! Dum-dum-dum! Dum! Dum! Dum! Dum-dum-dum!” he hummed. Stormy Flare felt a little nervous as she cringed a little bit, while Windrider hummed the tune. “What are you doing?” she asked him. Windrider stopped humming, and turned to his fiancée, who looked a little nervous. “Oh, that's The Wedding March.” He said calmly to her. “Does, does that freak you out?” “No, only because that's the graduation song.” Stormy said to him. At that moment, the real Wedding March was playing from behind the closed doors of the chapel. Windrider was ready for this one moment as he got up, ready to enter through those doors. Mr. Hoofington did the same and patted him kindly on the back like any father would to a daughter before giving her away to the groom. “Okay! This is it!“ Mr. Hoofington said to him as he patted his back kindly. “You and Stormy are gonna get married!” Stormy and Mrs. Hoofington both got up as well, with Mrs. Hoofington feeling all confident as she knew the two lovebirds have got this, and Stormy Flare feeling nervous wondering if she really wanted to do this at all. “Are you sure you wanna do this?” Stormy asked Windrider nervously. “Oh, Stormy!” Mrs. Hoofington said calmly, patting her down like a mother would to a child. “Of course I’m sure you are! After all, you both wanted to get married if you rolled a hard eight, am I right?” “Yes.” Stormy replied, feeling less nervous. “So, this is your big chance!” Mrs. Hoofington said gleefully as she carefully pushed the two Pegasi to go through the doors. “Go on! Do it!” She said as she smiled at them with tears in her eyes. The two wonderbolts looked at each other and smiled in each other’s eyes. “You ready?” Mr. Hoofington asked happily as Windrider looked him as happy as wife was. Windrider looked at the Hoofingtons smiling with pure delight, and then at Stormy Flare, who was smiling with a big loving, heartwarming smile. He smiled, and nodded. His mind was finally made up. “Yes, I am.” He said. He looked at Stormy. “Let’s do it.” At that moment, the doors swung open and Rainbow Dash, Starlight Glimmer and Spike burst out arm-in-arm, and Starlight was carrying a bouquet! All three were drunk as they exited, and they got married!!! “Well, hello, Mrs. Spike!” Spike said drunkenly as he tossed up some rice! “Well, hello, Mr. Rainbow Dash & Starlight!” Rainbow said, drunkenly as she to tossed up more rice. They exited out the doors and into the street. “Wait!” Starlight cried drunkenly. She collected her bearings. “Okay!” She said as she left with her two married friends. Starlight went one way, while Rainbow & Spike went the other. Windrider, Stormy Flare & The Hoofingtons were shocked upon seeing this, and stood there with their jaws dropped in awe and horror. “What...what just happened???” Windrider asked, his mouth still agape. “I...I think we found them.” Stormy Flare said shocked, with her mouth still agape. While this happened. The King's (Elvis Presley to the youngin's) Viva, Las Vegas was playing. Sing along with me now. “Viva! Las Vegas! Vivaaaaaa! Vivaaaaa! Las Vegassssss!!" For a moment, no one said anything in their state of shock. Finally, Windrider broke the silence. "Oh my God!" He said in surprise. "Did you just see that?" "I think so." Stormy Flare said, snapping out of her shock. "I mean...I can't believe that!" Windrider said, still shocked. "Do you think they got together in love? Or maybe they were just very, very drunk?" He asked. "I think so." Stormy said, still feeling confused. At that moment, a member of the chapel staff came up to the two of them. "Are you ready now..." she checked her clipboard. "...party of Windrider?" For the first time this night, the two Wonderbolts didn't know what to do or say as they were starting to have second thoughts about all this. Stormy turned to her fiancee. "Are we?" She asked. "I don't know. What do you think we should do?" He asked as well. "I mean do we really want to rush in, to do this? Do we want to do what Rainbow, Starlight and Spike just did?" Stormy smiled at him lovingly. "I love you, and whatever you decide we'll do." she said. Windrider looked at her and smiled lovingly at her as well, and the two gazed in each other's eyes for a moment. The staff member was still waiting on the couple's answer. "So?" Windrider responded by picking her up, and carrying her into the Chapel. "I love you too." He said. "Let's do it." The Hoofingtons smiled as tears of joy came out their eyes. "Go to it, Windrider!" he said, happily. "You got this." "I know we do." He said, as he and Stormy both went inside as the doors close behind them closed. At last, they were ready as they walked up the aisle and the Wedding March was playing as both Windrider and Stormy Flare stood together at the altar. An Elvis impersonator came up to them. "Are you ready?" He asked them. Both Pegasi looked at each other, smiling happily and then turned to the Elvis pony. "Yes." They both said. "Do you have the rings?" He asked. "Oh yeah! Right here!" Windrider said as he reached into his jacket pocket and brought out two rings. "Where did you get those?" Stormy asked surprised. "Oh yeah, um...I was actually going to ASK you to marry me and...um...er...I just thought that that was the best opportunity to do it." He said sheepishly as he blushed a little bit. Stormy glowed happily once again. "Oh, I love you so much." she said as she hugged her husband-to-be, and they both kissed happily. The Elvis pony coughed. "Excuse me?" He said as he showed them his watch. "I'm kinda on a schedule here." "Oh, sorry." Windrider said, as they broke their kiss and brought their attention back to the pony before them. "Do you take this mare to be your lawfully wedded wife?" The pony asked. "I so do!" Windrider said quiet, but excitedly. The Elvis pony turned to Stormy Flare. "Do you take this stallion to be your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold, until death do you part?" He asked. Stormy Flare smiled sweetly at her new husband. "I do." She said. "I now pronounce you Husband and Wife." The Elvis pony said as the two now-married ponies kissed. As they embraced in this moment, Fools Rush In by Elvis was accompanying the occasion. They were now husband and wife as they continued to embrace in this passionate moment. They both exited the chapel room and saw the Hoofingtons waiting for them with big smiles on their faces, and were clapping in joy and excitement as they met them. “Oh my god!” Stormy said in excitement. “We did it.” “We just got married, Right there!” Windrider said, as he pointed to the spot where they got married. “We’re so happy for you guys and you are both so lucky!” Mrs. Hoofington said happily as her husband nodded. At that moment, the Mane six, Cozy Glow and the REST of the Hope Hollow ponies arrived in the White Chapel “Come on, Girls!” Pinkie said, trying to get everyone else inside. “Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!” They all made their way in to find Windrider, and Stormy Flare married, but no sign of their missing friends anywhere. Twilight was shocked. “Oh, no! We're too late!” she cried out. The two now-married ponies, along with the Hoofingtons were shocked that the others arrived suddenly. “Oh my God!!” Windrider said in shock. “Is everybody getting married?!!“ The others were confused as they didn’t know WHAT Windrider was talking about. “Who’s gettin’ married?!” Applejack asked in shock. “Apparently, the majority of ponies in THIS room!” Diane said in surprise and seriousness to everyone that was in there. “N-No running in the chapel!” the attendant scolded the ponies who JUST rushed in the room. Everyone then froze after that. “Hey!” Torque said in shock. “Don’t you give me any of your—Hey!“ she noticed Stormy and Windrider now married. “Hey!“ Windrider said surprised. “How you doin’?” Rarity asked. “Don’t!” Stormy said, making her jump back in fear. “What are you all doing here?” Mr. Hoofington asked everyone in surprise. “Spike, Starlight and Rainbow Dash left us a message saying they were getting married!” Pinkie replied in surprise. “Isn’t that why you guys are here?” “Yes!” Windrider said, surprise and sheepishly. “Well that-yes.” “Why else would we be here?” Mrs. Hoofington asked. “Besides Windrider and Stormy Flare getting married, that is?” “Well? What happened?!” Fluttershy asked in shock. “Did we miss it?” “We actually missed it.” Windrider told them. “Aah!” Twilight said in shock as she broke into pieces and shattered like her ‘Pony Life’ counterpart would. “Well, Golly, maybe you wouldn’t have had you...” Cozy turned to the attendant. “...ran in the chapel!” She said to her, seriously, like she was about to yell. Twilight then regenerated, still in her shocked state. “This is insane!” she finally managed to say. “What’s the big deal, y’know?” Kerfluffle asked confused. “It’s not like it’s a real marriage.“ “What?!” Windrider asked in confusion and shock as if he didn’t process what she just said. “Yeah, if you get married in Las Pegasus, you’re only married in Las Pegasus.” Rarity clarified to him as if he understood as Kerfluffle nodded in agreement. “What the hay are you talking about?” Applejack said in shock and confusion. “If y’all get married in Las Pegasus, y’all are married everywhere.” This threw everyone in shock as they didn’t know it actually meant that until now. “WHAT?!” they all shouted, except Windrider, Stormy Flare and the Hoofingtons who knew what that meant. “Yeah!” Applejack said, lowering her voice to a whisper to her friends. “Oh, sweet Celestia!” Rarity said in shock, before switching to uninterested, or resignation as if she gave up. “Eh! Well…“ The rest of them were in a state of shock and some...or most of them switched to sharing heartwarming comments and nervousness, as they didn’t know what to expect after this or what happened: Rainbow and her friends getting married, or Stormy and Windrider getting married? Either way, they wondered if they were ever going to witness anything like this again. After a while, the Mane Six and Hope Hollow ponies all went back to the hotel and into their rooms to get ready for bed. Windrider and Stormy Flare walked to the Honeymoon suite, happy that they got married and were ready to celebrate this occasion. They were about to walk into the room, when Stormy tapped her husband hard on the back, carefully. "Windrider!" Stormy playfully said, to get his attention. Windrider turned to her and blushed a little sweetly. "Oh sorry. I almost forgot, Mrs. Rider." he said. "That's alright Mr. Rider." Stormy said as she smiled at him sweetly. "That's already my name." He said to her. "I know." Stormy said. "How about, 'I almost forgot Mr. Flare.'" Windrider chuckled. "Yeah, that's better." He said to his new wife. "Okay, come on." Stormy said as they opened the door to their room. "Let's go in." Windrider picked her up and carried her into the room, across the threshold. "I've carried you twice in a couple of hours. I'm gonna need to see a doctor." He said sarcastically. "Shut up, and kiss me." Stormy said seductively to him. Windrider smiled at her, lovingly as she did the same. He was ready to make his first move to her as her husband. "Okay good plan." He said as he kicked the door closed, and they made love and fell asleep. The next morning came as Starlight Glimmer, Rainbow Dash & Spike, who were just married moments before Windrider and Stormy Flare got married, were snuggling each other in a deep sleep. The sun came up and slivered through the window, and into Starlight’s eye. She slowly started to wake up, feeling like she was in a crazy hangover “Ohhh!” she groaned groggily, as she slowly rose up. She looked in the mirror and saw that she looked pretty tired, but still beautiful. Suddenly, she felt movement beside her, startling her. It was Spike and Rainbow Dash! As soon as they slowly woke up, they saw Starlight right by them. At first, it felt like nothing, but when they noticed each other, they got up screaming in terror. Then, they grabbed their heads, having aggravated what happened last night. Rainbow was the first to speak. “Why are we in bed together?” she asked in shock. Spike and Starlight were shocked as well. “I don’t know!” Starlight said. Just then, Spike’s mind clicked as he put 2 and 2 together. “Oh. I remember now.” He said. “We got married last night. Remember?” Both mares realized that Spike was right. They DID get married last night. “Oh yeah, you’re right.” Rainbow said as she giggled. “We did.” Starlight said, as she smiled happily to her two new married friends. They both hugged each other, and drifted back to sleep. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. “Rainbow! Starlight! Spike! Are you guys in there?“ the voice said as it knocked. It was Twilight, and she was knocking on the door to see if her friends were okay. No answer. The three new lovers were out cold, and snuggling with each other, starting their lives as a new married triple. She knocked again. “Rainbow Dash?” No response. “Starlight Glimmer?” Still no response. She knocked again. “Spike?” Rainbow Dash’s ears perked up again, this time in realization that she heard Twilight’s voice. They knew that voice. Ah, but did they really want to see her right now? Not really. They were currently too tired from their wedding last night, that they decided to start the morning off sleeping in, to be refreshed and recharged up for the day. Twilight, at the hotel room door, listened and heard them snoring, and realized that it would be best to let them sleep until they got up. She slowly started to leave to go down to the breakfast room, and meet up with the others for breakfast. “I should leave them alone.” Twilight said to herself, smiling as she left. “They deserve this.” And she left to go to breakfast. Spike and his new wives were sleeping soundly through the morning. It would be a great new life for the three lovers...because a little later, they would celebrate their first full day married, by getting ready and going down to breakfast to meet up with their friends.
