Swift calmly made his way through the forest, making his way to where the wedding was going to take place. One interesting thing he noticed was how the creatures seemed to recognize their superior. Smirking, he looked around before noticing a striped flank that was sticking out of a bush. Licking his lip Swift looked back down the path as he quickly thought about how best to handle the situation.

Taking a deep breath, he looked back to her and asked if she needed help.

There was a moment of silence, she let out a muffled “no.” That sounded like she was either too embarrassed or nervous to expect his help. But after a few moments where she realized the voice coming from behind her was a male voice… she nervously asked if he would help.

Thinking this wasn't a safe place to take advantage of the situation, he moved up next to her and wrapped a vine around her waist. “Relax your body.” He instructed before he prepared to pull. And with a hard yank, he got the mare free.

As he looked her over, he noticed she was a zebra. And from the way she was talking, was either cursed or the riming was a family thing. Either way, he smiled as the word “favor” graced his ear.

“If you want to thank me. Then how about some tea?” He asked as a plan formed in his head. He might not have long to spend with her. But he intended on planting the seeds that will grow and make her hooked on him like the others.

Discord dug frantically through the closet of his home mumbling about how for a lord of chaos, how annoying it was that he couldn't find something as simple as a gift.

“Do you mind?” He asks the… author? “Some of us have a wedding to prepare for.” With a snap of his fingers the…

Thunderlane, and Spitfire landed outside Thunderlane's home where a young colt was sitting on the porch. “Hay little bro.” Thunderlane called as he approached him. “Thought I'd drop by and let you know. Your second favorite Wonderbolt is getting married.”

“Spitfire?” He teased, causing said mare to cover her mouth with a wing to hide her snicker.

“Fine. Your third favorite.”

“Fleetfoot?” The colt asked with a smirk.

“Fourth?”

“Misty Fly?” The colt asked, causing Spitfire to fall over, unable to hold back her laughter. As Thunderlane let out a groan of defeat, the colt got up and put a hoof on his brother's shoulder. “Don't worry bro. I bet your wedding is going to be great.”

“It's not my wedding.” Thunderlane whimpered as Spitfire held herself as she continued to laugh.

After a moment of realization, his eyes widened. “Wait… that means…”

Spitfire finally managed to stop laughing and got up before smiling. “Dash is the bride.”

Rumble blinked in shock before rushing into the house and within minutes, came back out in a tuxedo and a few wrapped gifts on his back.

Minits later, Thunderlane caught up with Rainbow who flew through town with her friends after deciding on her “speech” as they did some last minute preparation. One of the biggest things they needed to do was get Scootaloo and the other members of the CMC. Luckily when they stopped off at Swift's house, Scootaloo answered the door with her friends.

"Hay squirt. Ready to see your hero get married?" Rainbow asked with a big smile.

"To Swift? You bet." Scootaloo replied happily. "Are we going now?"

"Not yet short stuff." Spitfire laughed. "We have to get you girls dressed up at Rarity's first."

"I got the gifts covered." Thunderlane grunted. "And I think my little brother said he'd be there too."

Scootaloo thought for a moment before looking off into the house. "Yeah… maybe… he can come over later?"

"Sure thing." Thunderlane laughed. "But the three of you should hurry. Don't want to be late. Right?"

A unified, "RIGHT!" Came from the girls before they rushed down the street.

Twilight sighed as she sat with her brother and sister in law watching a group of creatures sing as they worked on what looked like a bedroom set made of different materials. “Do either of you know what they're talking about?”

Shining shrugged. “Something about breaking ice?”

Cadence bit her lip and turned away with a sigh. “Something like that.”

The three looked at each other curiously before looking back to the workers as Twilight wondered where they even came from and why they seemed so dedicated to their work.

Several miles from Ponyville, Celaeno's ship flew toward the forest as the pirate mare stood on the bowsprit. Taking a deep breath she smiled down at the town as one of her crewmates came up to her. “Captain. I believe we've arrived at the location he may be staying.”

Her smile faded and sighed before turning back to him. “Don't you think it's sad they don't have a proper place to park our ship?”

He nodded in agreement as she hopped over him and calmly made her way to a barrel and using a mug, scooped out some rum to drink. “What do you think their punishment should be?”

He looked down at the town for a moment before replying. “They seem to get most of their visitors by train. I doubt they expect many ships to come to such a place.”

She stopped and thought about what he said as she whipped her lips before turning to him. “Then while they're out. Why don't you boys find the richest ponies house and gather some goods.” She thought for a moment. “Oh. And see if they have those snacks I like.” She instructed as a plan formed in her mind. After all, there was a wedding she had to get to. And possibly a sexy pirate to scoop off his hooves.
