Elements of Peace
Wedding planning and invitations
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTwilight looked over a list of possible locations the wolf might be hiding her friends. And more importantly, where he might be himself. It didn't take long for her to receive reports from scouts that had been posted in those locations.
Angered from the reports of him not being in any of the areas, she threw the tablet against the wall. "Where is he!?!" She snapped… Just then the vehicle jerked to a stop causing her to fall out of her seat. "What the hell was that?"
"Unknown lifeform is blocking the road." The robotic driver replied.
"What do you mean unknown?" Twilight asked as she got up and looked out the window at the white rabbit dressed like a circus ringleader that smiled at her. "It's just a rabbit." She huffed. "Use the speaker and tell him to move."
"Error. Rabbit DNA not detected. Error. Speaker system is unresponsive."
Rolling her eyes, Twilight got out and walked over to the rabbit. "You're obstructing traffic. Move."
The rabbit tipped his hat at her. "My apologies Twilight." He said softly. "Or do you prefer Princess Twilight? But I was lost in thought for a bit."
Twilight blinked. "What did you call me?"
He tilted his head in confusion. "Sorry. Did I get the wrong time-line?" He rubbed his chin in thought. "I could have sworn she said you-"
Upon hearing "she", Twilight grabbed his arms. "Who? Who told you about me?"
The rabbit grinned. "Does twitchy tail tell you anything?"
Twilight gasped and let go before stepping back. "Is she the reason you're here?"
"No." He replied. After a moment of silence he continued. "Oh yeah. I was going to invite you to something. And I should ask. Do you truly think your shy friend is safe?"
Twilight thought for a moment. "Why do you ask?"
"Just something to think about." He replied with a shrug. "Anyway. If you want to go to the wedding. Just know that no robots can get there. So you'd be on your own."
"Why would I want to go to a wedding?" She asked.
In response, he smiled and handed her a card that had an orange feather and rainbow lightning bolt on it. As soon as she saw it, Twilight gasped and covered her mouth in shock as she read the invite.
"You are cordially invited to the wedding of Phoenix, Princess Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash. Contact your nearest clan member for location and transportation."
Twilight looked from the letter to the rabbit. "Ok. How do I get to the wedding?" She asked.
The rabbit simply turned and started walking away. "I can bring you there. But I should warn you. Your boss isn't going to like it if you return without them."
Twilight looked back at the transport in thought for a moment before following him. "Then let's hope I can convince them to come back with me." She sighed.
The rabbit smiled and stopped next to a pool. "Interesting idea. But I wonder if you'll still think that when it's over."
"What do you mean by that?" She asked, standing between him and the pool.
"You'll see." Was all he said before shoving her into the water.
Once the ship's autopilot was set, Phoenix and his crew went to their rooms to prepare for the wedding. While Walker worked with Phoenix and the other guys, Psy had the girls in her room as she worked on getting them set up for their big day.
"Remember." Psy explained as she adjusted Scootaloo's dress. "Stay silent. Clan weddings are performed through the heart. And no words are shared with those that are getting married."
"Why?" Applejack asked as she adjusted Apple Bloom's dress.
"It's believed that words can hide truths where the heart hides nothing." Psy replied.
Applejack thought about it for a moment before smiling at the idea. However her sister just became more confused and asked. "How would they say I do?"
Psy went over to her work desk and pulled out a candle. "This." She replied. "It's a special candle that is made by the people who wish to marry a clan member." Sighing, she set it on the table. "I hoped one day to use mine… but it was not meant to be." Shrugging, she turned to the others. "I'll walk you through making your own. And don't worry. As long as your heart truly wishes to be with him. Then all will be well."
Rainbow and Scootaloo smiled as they joined her at the table to make their own sacred candles as Applejack and Applebloom went through other parts of the party preparations.
In the guys room, Spike struggled with his outfit as Soren and Flash worked to figure out how their tribal dressings were supposed to be worn. It wouldn't take much for someone to tell that they were unsure about how things worked. But they weren't about to argue or deny that they were interested in what was coming.
Author's Note
The rabbit seems to be up to something. And the girls are eager for the big day. But with how the guys are struggling... I wonder how things will pan out. Thoughts?
