How A Canterlot Wedding Should Have Gone

"All right... The sniper rifle is in place... duct tape, rulers, hammers, books... Everything appears to be in order..." Gummy was looking over his Rube Goldberg device in the highest room of the tallest tower in Canterlot Castle.. If successful, this would fire off a sniper shot, hit the male Rarity, and leave the female Rarity available for Gummy to conquer. "Oh, can't forget the cucumber..." Everything had to be just right, or it wouldn't work.

Gummy dropped the marble down the first chute, setting the chain reaction in motion. If somepony had their ear to the door, they would have heard a cacophony of noise from the inside. Of course, nopony was on to Gummy's Nasty Plot (+2 sp.atk stages) so nopony would have been listening.

Each of the stages went off without a hitch, and the sniper rifle fired at the end. However, he had it aimed wrong, and it fired its bullet out of Gummy's window and hit a very excited Scootaloo who had just learned to fly. Gummy had anticipated something going wrong, however, so he had loaded the sniper with rubber bullets. Thus, Scootaloo, rather than being brutally murdered, just fell to the ground. The distance from the fall would have crippled any normal pony, but Scootaloo just so happened to fall upon Pinkie Pie, wearing her 37 jackets.

"Oof! Wow, am I glad you were here, Pinkie Pie!" Scootaloo said, then reached behind her neck, looking rather embarrassed. Her embarrassment wasn't the reason for reaching behind her neck though. She was grabbing a zipper, revealing that she wasn't Scootaloo at all, but Diamond Tiara in disguise! Pinkie Pie freaked out at this and ate Diamond Tiara in one gulp. The real Scootaloo then fell onto Pinkie Pie, knocking her down, and causing her to bounce along the ground into the Ponyville KFC.

"Scootaloo? What are you doing here?" Sweetie Belle asked. She had a job at the KFC, and she had since gotten her cutie mark in chicken frying. "We gotta hide you before they find you!" Sweetie Belle then shoved Scootaloo into a cupboard and acted like nothing was out of the ordinary. In the cupboard, Scootaloo was then shocked to find a tied-up Applebloom huddled in the corner, looking very scared. Scootaloo reached over and removed the gag and untied her.

"Scootaloo! Thank goodness you came! They tied me up and hid me in here! They made me dress in this Applebloom suit!" Applebloom said.

"Suit?" Scootaloo replied. Applebloom then ripped open her own chest cavity, where a very messy Sweetie Belle then crawled out of.. "Sweetie Belle! Then... Who is that outside frying chicken? And where's your cutie mark?"

"That other one out there is another me. I don't know how it happened. I haven't gotten my cutie mark at all yet, but she's REALLY good at frying chicken."

"That makes a lot more sense. But there's a hole in reality, if there are two 'you's! We need to find a way to fix it, maybe if we got rid of the other you?"

"Yeah!" Sweetie Belle then threw open the cupboard, which hit Sweetie Belle's stool she was standing on to reach the fryer. Sweetie Belle's head then fell forwards and hit the fryer, knocking her out. Sweetie Belle then took Sweetie Belle, and Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo dragged Sweetie Belle into the forest. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle dragged Sweetie Belle all the way to Zecora's,

"Hey Zecora! We brought you a body for you to experiment on, desu!" Skawaiialoo yelled out. Zecora walked out her door and saw two Sweetie Belles, one of them unconscious, and the most kawaii-chan orange pegasus filly you ever did see.

"Who the fuck are y'alls? Comin up to me like this sure takes some balls! Gimme dat body so I can work, unless you wanna look like a jerk!" Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle looked at each other, tossed Sweetie at Zecora, and disappeared back towards Ponyville.

Meanwhile, in Trottingham, the real Applebloom was going to college. She had left her family to go to school, the first of the Apples to EVER do so. For leaving her family, they had all stopped talking to her. Octavia was there, for some reason, though, and had made friends with her through their shared love of music. Applebloom had earned her cutie mark for singing at this point, after all. It was a microphone, only the top of it was shaped like an apple.

Vinyl Scratch was Octavia's roommate, so she was friends with Applebloom too, naturally. Applebloom looked to Octavia and asked, "What am Ah supposed to do? Ah don't want to leave my family forever, but they won't talk to me because Ah left 'em to come learn things here!"

Octavia then spoke in a thick Scottish accent: "Well, surely ye should just return after ye get yer doctorate in apple here."

Vinyl then spoke up "Yeah, Octavia's right. Just go back afterwards and make your farm better than ever before! Here, look at me." She removed her trademark shades, and Applebloom stared into her deep yellow eyes. "Your family will always be your family. It doesn't matter what happens, or how many times you fight. They'll accept you back when all is said and done." Applebloom then fell asleep in the arms of the two other musician ponies.
