My Little Pony: The Changeling of Friendship
Season 3: Episode 9 - A Rainbow's Wedding
Previous ChapterNext ChapterA month has passed since Rapidfire was imprisoned in a facility for the insane. During this time, Rainbow Dash had left the wonderbolts. As soon as this had happened, Luna once again proposed Rainbow Dash to become her captain, promising this time, Rainbow Dash was not choosing it over her friends. Rainbow Dash agreed, on the account that Rainbow Dash would be allowed to pick whomever she chose. As such, so long as they could fly, any creature was on the table.
While Pharynx would still refuse to join his soon-to-be wife on the team, one changeling from Amiticia's hive did show great interest in joining up. Ironically, it was Thorax; Pharynx's own brother. In addition to Thorax, Garble too joined up, though the reasons for that seemed to be unclear as Rainbow didn't buy the whole "wanting to study pony colture closer" excuse.
Unsurprisingly, Lightning Dust too wanted to join up, promising to improve herself and prevent her recklessness from causing problems again. She was to keep to her promise or be dismissed as both Rainbow Dash and Luna agreed to. Gilda also joined up, on the account of wanting to do something to try and continue to salvage her friendship with Rainbow Dash, and the cyan pegasus had no objections to this.
What was strange was that Hops, Hoops, and Dumbell also decided to join up. Which did round out the squad quite nicely for the time being. Still, those three would have to be trained by Rainbow Dash and Gilda to keep up with the rest. What was surprsing to all though, was that Pharynx also was willing to train the trio if Rainbow Dash wanted it. Which was permitted because Luna felt that he could be a useful outside couch for the new Shadowbolts.
But probably the most shocking development came from the Wonderbolts. Taking full responsibility for not seeing Rapidfire's psychopathic nature, Spitfire handed her job to Soarin and then proceeded to ask Rainbow Dash to become the manager for the Shadowbolts. Which Luna did agree to, but before Rainbow Dash agreed to the idea, the rainbow mare asked why.
"I have to do something to make up for the fact one of the wonderbolts used you. And besides, I want to do this because I feel like it's about time for me to move on anyways." Spitfire had said. That was enough for Rainbow Dash.
Now it was time for the wedding between Rainbow Dash and Phayrnx which was taking place outside in a clear blue skies, the wonderbolts were to give a brief airshow to kickstart the reception. Everyone from Ponyville including the changelings as well as many pegasi from cloudsdale; a few visiters from Apleloosa and Manehatten; and rounding it all out were many dragons and griffon too.
But of all those invited, there were two Pegasi that were basically banned from attending. It was told to them specifically that if they tried, they'd be imprisoned for three weeks on authority from Princess Twilight Sparkle. Those two being Rainbow Dash's Parents, Bow Hothoof and Windy Whistles. Rainbow Dash's Biological Father and mother respectfully.
...Or so Rainbow Believed so with Windy Whistles, who practically raised her from birth and the main reason why Scootaloo got put up for adoption.
Regardless, Scootaloo was the flower filly, and Rumble was the ring bearer.
"Rainbow Dash, of all the mares in this world, none are as talented or as loyal as you are. That's why I believe this is a union that is once in a lifetime." Amiticia began. He and Twilgiht were taking this one as a duo royal witness.
"And Pharynx, you are the most brave and dependable soldier that the Changeling Guard has ever seen, or will ever see for a long time to come. Another reason why this union is once in a lifetime." Twilight added.
"So do you, Captain Pharynx of the Changeling Guard, take Rainbow Dash to be your lawfully wedded wife until death do you part?" Amiticia said.
"I do indeed." Pharynx said.
"And do you, Captain Rainbow Dash of the New Shadowbolts, take Pharynx to be your lawfully wedded husband until death do you part?" Twilight asked.
"Beyond a shadow of a doubt I do." Rainbow Dash said.
"Then by the authority invested in both me and my wife..." Amiticia started.
"We now pronounce you husband and wife!" Twilight finished! The new couple kissed and then the Wonderbolts did their breif show.
Sometime after the reception, Rainbow Dash and Pharynx started heading home, but not before as was tradition for each wedding, Rainbow Dash threw the bouquet of flowers into the air. After a fierce competition, the flowers somehow wound up in Scootaloo's hands. She and Rumble both looked to each other with a huge blush supporting both their faces as they headed up with Rainbow Dash and Pharynx to RD's Cloudhome.
"Home sweet home..." Rainbow Dash said, taking off her wedding dress. "And I am so glad to be out of that thing. Probably will still wear it for special occasions but other then that..." She added.
"I prefer you being you as it is." Pharynx said.
"Thanks dear." Rainbow Dash said. Suddenly, the door bell rang. "I'll get it!" She added.
"Wonder who that could be at this hour?" Pharynx said.
"Oh my gosh!" Rainbow Dash said. "A.K. Yearling, do come in!" She added. In came a mare with a hat, glasses, and a dress on.
"Been a while, hasn't it Rainbow Dash? Sorry I haven't been contacting you, I just...took a while..." A.K. Yearling said.
"Wait a minute..." Pharynx said and approached the yellow mare. "...How are you walking on clouds? I don't sense a cloudwalking spell on you." He added.
"Well...um..." A.K. Yearling said.
"You might as well just tell him. Changelings can detect magic after all." Rainbow Dash said.
"...Fair enough..." A.K. Yearling said before throwing off everything and then put on a different hat. This caused both Scootaloo and Rumble to gasp.
"YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME." Rumble said.
"A.K. YEARLING IS DARING DO!" Scootaloo exclaimed.
"...Suddenly, now everything makes sense..." Pharynx said.
"Yeah I was surprised the first time too." Rainbow Dash said. "So, what are you here for anyways, Daring?" She asked.
"Your joking right? I was really hoping Bow would've mentioned SOMETHING about me, but I guess just like how Rapidfire used you and left you with a child you spent forever to get back, Bow use me and then replaced me." Daring Do said.
"Your not making any sense. What do you mean, replaced you?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"...Rainbow Dash, I am your real Biological mother." Daring Do said.
"But...but how...why?" Rainbow Dash said.
"After I gave birth to you, I had to go and take care of something for Book Five." Daring Do said.
"Book five is the Jewel of Amazon if I remember correctly." Rainbow Dash said.
"Yep. That's the one." Daring Do said. "But by the time I recover it, and got it to a museum, Bow Hothoof had already replaced me." She added.
"Windy Whistles..." Rainbow Dash said. "...No wonder we're nothing alike..." She added.
"I couldn't try anything. Considering Bow Hothoof was mayor at the time, it would've been my word against his. It's...surprising though that the one time a book of mine got delayed we ended up bumping into each other for the first time since you were born." Daring Do said. "And I'm glad you did. It just took me a while to get things situated and under control enough for a while." She added.
"So wait..." Scootaloo said. "If I'm the daughter of Rainbow Dash who is the daughter of Daring Do, does that mean...I'M THE GRANDAUGHTER OF DARING DO?!" She added.
"You betcha kiddo." Daring Do said.
"...Scootaloo.mlp will stop working now..." Scootaloo said before fainting. Daring Do looked to her daughter and son-in-law
"Don't ask." Both Rainbow Dash and Pharynx said at the same time.
Author's Note
Now I know that this season has been a short one, but honestly, considering Rainbow Dash's personality and how much I've built up her relationship with Pharynx so far, did you REALLY think Rainbow Dash was going to wait long to marry Pharynx at all after that race between the changeling and Soarin? I don't think so, and I'm pretty sure others would agree with me. There's only one season left after this folks, as much as that pains me to say. It's been a wild ride, but there isn't much more I could tackle that would change drastically which is why Season 4 is going to feel like a speed round as I do my best to cover the things that WILL change from season 6 onwards.
...Also, who here saw this ending coming?
Side note: The name of Book five was made up, I think. Correct me on this if I'm wrong and I'll change the book number. Unless the name is also taken, in which case...I'll keep it in.
