It has been another two years since then. The love shared by the three planted a seed of something deeper than mere friendship.

And after several declarations of intent, the grandest celebration of all time is underway.

Fireworks blew up in the sky as the wedding of the century was underway.

Charity, Twinkle and Zap Apple stood there in the bridal room getting ready.

All were wearing outfits made for them by Charity.

“Ah admit, ya’ll managed to make an outfit that fits me,” Zap said, noting it covered up her muscles.

“Mine's so cute!” Twinkle said jittering with excitement.

“Please hold still princess, we’re still applying the makeup,” A mare exasperatedly said.

“Sorry, too excited!” Twinkle giggled.

“I admit, my heart is racing too,” Charity said.

“To think me and Bulk, bet AJ and RD never saw it comin,” Zap said.

“I know if Fluttershy and Rarity were here they’d be happy too,” Charity said.

“And Twilight and Pinkie are happy too,” Twinkle said with a smile.

“Remember when it happened?” Charity asked with a smile.

“Flash and Cheesie were sooo romantic,” Twinkle said with a happy sigh.

“Yeah, so was Bulk,” Zap said with a smile.

“Welp, weddings gonna start soon, let’s move girls!” Twinkle said.

“Yeah!” The other two said.

Spike, Bulk, Flash, Mac, and Cheese were all in the groom's room.

“YEAH! My day is here! Me and Zap are gonna be the best power couple ever!” Bulk cheered.

“Yeah, and me and Mac are marrying our dream mare,” Spike said.

“Eeyup,” Big Mac said.

“And forget anypony who seems discontent with our trio of love,” Cheese said.

“There have been some complaints, but I’m willing to face them for Twinkle,” Flash said straightening his bow.

“All I need is Zap,” Bulk said.

“Alright,” Spike said.

As the three were getting ready they couldn’t help but remember the way they proposed to them.

Bulk and Zap were pumping iron at the gym when Zap got on a machine and began lifting the max weight on it, and she saw an open box with a ring on the weights…

At first she thought somepony else lost it but when she turned around to ask Bulk he was already on one knee.

After a corny speech on ‘lifting the weight that is the rest of their lives’ was spoken, the two were making out and Zap was saying yes over and over again to the cheers of the rest of the gym.

For Charity Spike and Mac were helping her collect gems from a cave and when they brought the cart back and emptied it, she found a ring amidst it.

When she turned the two asked her outright if she’ll have them both as her lovers from here on out.

Yesses were said.

For Twinkle, Flash and Cheese threw Twinkle a party and hid the ring atop the cake, with mini sculptures of the three holding hands around it.

After nearly accidentally eating it Twinkle was literally bouncing off of walls saying yes over and over before kissing them both.

“Time flies doesn’t it?” Spike said, having grown a bit more into a young adult dragon instead of a teen.

“Yeah, i’ll admit, four years ago I never imagined this would have been my life but now that it is, I am happy,” Flash said.

Before a knock alerted them they turned and saw a familiar pegasus walk in.

“Hey guys, just letting you know the wedding is happening soo-” Flash Sentry paused as he saw his human world doppelganger.

“....Awkward…” Spike said.

“I heard there was a lookalike of me, but…” Flash Sentry looked perturbed.

“Heh, sorry I guess,” Flash said with a chuckle.

“I-I’ll just leave,” Flash Sentry left.

“Might want to do something to ensure you two don’t end up confusing ponies,” Mac said.

“Maybe I’ll start wearing a hat?” Flash said thoughtfully.

The five grooms stood at the altar. At Twinkle’s request, this would be a unique wedding indeed.

As the five stood there ready for their wives to be to arrive the crowd was ready for the festivities.

Then the wedding music began, with Discord providing it, and the grooms got in order of whom their marrying.

And then the three mares came down the path, with the CMC spreading rose petals as they ran ahead.

And beside the brides were their fathers from both their families, Zap had Granny Smith accompanying her along the way for the apple side.

As the three made their way to the altar and they approached their husbands.

And the officiant is none other than Celestia who read their vows.

As they stared at each other Bulk smiled happily at Zap who mirrored the expression.

Twinkle and her two husbands Flash and Cheese seemed content to hold each other.

Spike, Mac, and Charity stared into each other's eyes.

At the end of it, Celestia asked the question they were waiting for.

“Do you Bulk, Spike, Mac, Cheese, and Flash Sentry, seek to take these three mares as your beloved wives?” Celestia asked.

“Yes,” They said.

“Do you Zap Apple, Charity and Princess Twinkle Pie Sparkle, take these stallions as your beloved husbands?” Celestia asked.

“Yes,” They said.

“Then by the power of the sun, moon and harmony, I decree you all, wedded, you may kiss,” Celestia said.

And they kissed, the mares with two husbands kissed one than the other.

The crowd cheered and the three couples turned to the crowd and waved.

And while Zap, Twinkle, and Charity were waving they looked at the back of the crowd and saw ponies they were shocked to see.

Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Pinkie, Fluttershy, and Rarity were standing there, waving.

“Wha?” Twinkle rubbed her eyes and looked out at that spot, but they vanished.

“Ya’ll saw that too right?” Zap asked.

“Yes,” Charity said with a smile “I think I know, this is their way of giving us their blessings,” Charity said.

The other two smiled as they heard this.

“Twinkle? What’s wrong?” Flash asked.

“Nothing Flash, nothing is wrong, not anymore,” Twinkle said with a happy smile.

Ten years later…

Sweet Apple Acres has grown a bit in the last ten years.

Then several hooves splashed in puddles and it was shown as several fillies and colts were running around and playing.

“Slooow poke!” a yellow and purple earth pony filly cheered.

“Hey! Ah’m not slow!” a light green and blonde pegasus colt called as he chased after him.

“I’m still faster!” A pink and purple unicorn filly ran past the green colt.

“Jest wait till ah catch ya!” The colt panted as he ran faster.

As they ran passed there were two scaly kirins one a blue filly and one green colt were reading comic books.

“Hey! Watch it!” The blue kirin filly snapped.

Overhead two alicorns a filly and colt were flying around.

“Whee!” the filly cheered.

“Whoo hoo!” The colt cheered the two had been trying and they finally got this flying thing down pat.

“Hey! Mom, Dad and Daddy said it’s dinner time!” A blue and purple earth pony colt called up to them.

“Ok!” The two alicorns descended and the other foals joined them as they stood by for rollcall.

“Alright! Time ta gather!” A firm female voice said and they saw Zap Apple exiting the house.

“Woot! Time for the celebration!” Twinkle cheered as she hopped out as well.

“I’m coming!” Charity said as she followed behind.

“Alright, take it away Twinkle,” Zap said.

“Right! Upper Strength! Yellow Blur!” Twinkle said and the green colt and yellow filly ran up to them.

“Here!” they said.

“Glimmer! Gem! Garnet!” Twinkle called and the pink unicorn filly and the two kirins ran over.

“Here!” they said.

“And my lovable kids! Caramel Pie! Evening Glower! Dusk Shine,” Twinkle called out to them and they approached.

“All here!” They said.

“Hmm, we seem to be missing somepony…. Oh yeah! Hey dads! Come on out!” Twinkle playfully said and the five husbands of the three mares came out all carrying the dinner feast they were going to have.

“Ah’m comin!” Mac said.

“Gotcha sweetie!” Cheese said.

“Whoa!” Spike almost dropped the dish he was carrying.

“Careful,” Bulk said carrying the most.

“We’re here!” Flash said as he gave Twinkle a passing peck on the lips as they walked past.

“Alright! Let’s move!” Twinkle cheered and they all gathered at the table set up.

After setting up the group all sat down and got to eating.

Twinkle was going to have pie slice number three when she paused and looked up at the sky as a breeze blew by and fall leaves were scattering to the sky.

And she could swear… she saw their old selves staring down at them from above.

Twinkle smiled and looked around at all they’ve accomplished over the years.

And they were all happier for it.

“Let’s never forget times like this,” Twinkle told her husbands.

“Not in a million years,” Flash said.

“Not in a bajillion,” Cheese said and the three laughed as the leaves continued to scatter, into the distant sky…

In Tartarus, a familiar figure sat there.

Dusk Heart, he had many years to think, and to wait for his eventual release…

But what’s left for him out there?... even if he resumed his conquest, there was nothing for him in this world… he… was a broken pony…

But… there was one light, that while it wasn’t there for the twenty years of incarceration he endured.

It has been there for the last ten years… never missing a day as promised.

Dusk heard a door open and Celestia walked in, carrying a sack of board games.

“Hello Dusk Heart,” Celestia said.

“You're late,” Dusk said.

“Forgive me, the guards were quite chatty, I brought your favorite, chess,” Celestia put the board down and set it up.

“How long are you prepared to keep this farce up?...” Dusk said.

“Until the day one of us dies, and even then, I will never let you endure alone anymore,” Celestia said.

Dusk looked down, all these years had done a lot to cool his anger and outrage at being denied his ideal Equestria… but there was still a part of him that wanted her to burn.

But it gets quieter with the passing years.

“I’ll be getting out soon… thanks to you,” Dusk said.

“I did advocate for your release, now that we’ve managed to take away your fusion magic,” Celestia said.

“So you think Equestria will be safer because you weakened me?” Dusk said.

“No, I did it so others won’t assume the worst will happen,” Celestia said.

“...You can learn,” Dusk said.

“Indeed, now, shall we play?” Celestia asked.

“...Ok,” Dusk said as he reached through the bars and moved a piece.

And the two continued playing their games, and Celestia could only hope, he would be able to forgive and forget.

After all, he’s not alone, anymore.
