Twilight fell onto a bed of flowers before slowly getting up and dusted herself off. She didn't fully know what was going on. But getting the chance to see her friends and getting some answers was worth the risk. Taking a deep breath she started walking down the only path she saw. It only took a few steps for the rabbit's words to click.

"Wait… PRINCESS SCOOTALOO?!?!?!?!?!?!"

She gasped before breaking into a full run, letting her jacket fall off as she got rid of anything that might slow her down till she was in only her jeans and tank top.

"So… how long does the wedding last?" Scootaloo asked, as she sat back waiting for the candles.

"Three days." Psy replied softly. "The first day is to ask the spirits for permission. Then comes the tests. And finally the banquet to end the wedding."

Apple Bloom fussed with her top. "And we all have to wear so little?"

"If you want to be a part of the wedding and not just a guest. Then yes." Psy replied. "And don't worry. Rose is out looking for your other friends. She'll make sure they show."

Silver sat in the back seat of his car with Sweetie Belle resting on his lap. Looking out the window he smiled at the approaching black cat. "Hay hot stuff. Long time no see."

"Same to you, you sluty black widow." He laughed, stroking Sweetie's hair.

"I see you found a sweetheart." She teased. "You hear the news?"

"Of course I have. That's where we're going. I just wish her sister could go." Silver sighed.

"Where is she?"

"With HIM." Silver replied flatly.

"Well… fuck… I feel sorry for her." She sighed looking off to the distance. "I wonder though. If he's trying to turn her… or if she's trying to turn him."

Silver chuckled and shook his head. "Either way. Let's hope our friend is able to pass on the news. Sweetie would be heartbroken if her sister was left out of this event."

With a nod the cat walked off flicking her tail as the dragon rolled his eyes muttering. "Best slut ever."

Rarity sighed as she sat at her work desk as she sketched a new outfit. "It truly is odd how all he wants is new outfits." She sighed to herself before looking over at a gnome that had its arms out with different fabrics draped over its arms. She examined the fabrics before pulling a few off and placing them in a pile.

She then took the fabrics that were left and started working on the outfit. "Come now dear. There are plenty of worse things you can be doing than helping me with these outfits." She sighed as she worked.

"I agree." A voice called from her mirror.

Rarity blinked and looked at the gnome who pointed at the mirror. "Ummm… who are you? And how are you talking to me?"

"I go by many names." The voice replied as a white rabbit stepped into view. "But that's not as important as the wedding that's happening soon."

"Oh?... well. I'm happy to hear that." She replied with a smile before returning to work.

"I would hope so. Your friend is excited to be getting married." The rabbit pointed out.

Rarity blinked in shock as she froze. "Come again?"

"I can help you get to the wedding in time. But you'll need to convince him to let you go."

Rarity thought for a moment before getting up and putting the fabrics to the side. "Then I don't have time to lose." She paused for a moment and smiled at the gnome. "You may go for now." She told him before turning to the mirror. "How will I get a hold of you when I get my reply?"

"Don't worry about that. I'll wait."

Smiling, Rarity calmly but quickly walked out of the room and made her way to her throne room. She had a mission and had a few ideas on how she was going to convince him to let her go. If nothing else, she was going to try and convince him by tugging at his heart.

It didn't take her long to arrive at the throne and the waiting figure that sat upon his throne. "Have you finished the uniforms I instructed you to make?" He asked flatly.

"Not quite yet I'm afraid." She replied softly. "I received some news about my friends. And I came to ask for a favor."

"Really?... and what would that be?"

"I'd like to go to my friend's wedding." She replied. "We made a promise that we'd go to each other's wedding. And I'd hate to be the first to break my promise."

"I see." He replied flatly. "And what would you do for me in return?"

"Well…" She replied as she tried to think of something. "What would you want from me?"

"Letting me choose what your payment will be." He chuckled. "A wise choice. One you may live to regret. But wise nonetheless." He took a deep breath as he thought for a moment before replying. "How about your hand in marriage?"

"What?!?"

"I've lived for a long time. Even if I don't look it. And after being forsaken by my master. I've had time to… reflect on what I wanted." He replied. "And one of them is a bride."

"Well I am flattered that you would consider me to be your choice. But I always pictured marrying a noble after falling in love." She countered. As an afterthought, she smiled and added. "But I wouldn't be against the idea. If you're willing to step out of the shadows and spend time with me. It would even make designing an outfit for you a lot easier."

He thought for a moment before sighing. "Very well. But I expect pictures of the wedding. After all, your friends will be coming to our wedding as well."

Rarity bowed before quickly walking back to her room. "He said yes!"

Once she was out of sight, the figure got up as a grinning red muzzle poked out of the shadows. "There's more than one way to gain power." He laughed, licking his lips.
