A couple days later Mrs. Cake came down to the kitchen and discovered Pinkie was gathering supplies to make a cake. "What are you doing dearie?" She asked the pink mare.

"I'm getting started on me and Dashy's wedding cake." Pinkie said while getting down the flower. "It's going to be a big wedding, so we need a big cake. I thought that I'd get an early start."

Mrs. Cake ran over and stopped Pinkie. "No, no dearie, you don't make your own wedding cake. Carrot and I are going to bake it."

"I can't bake my own cake? Next you're going to tell me I can't throw my own bachelorette party."

"Well actually…" Somepony knocked at the door. "I'll get it!" Mrs. Cake ran over and answered the door. It was Ponyvillle's mailmare Derpy. "Why good morning Derpy."

"Good morning Mrs. Cake," Derpy said. "Mail time. Your mailbox was gone so I have to give it to you at the door."

"Thank you Derpy, you're such a great mailmare. And sorry about the mailbox, some pegasi accidently destroyed it last night with their scheduled rainstorm."

"It's not a problem." Derpy looked at her mailbag, which her daughter Dinky was riding in. "Muffin could Mrs. Cake please have her mail?"

"Sure thing mommy." Dinky grabbed some envelopes out of the mailbag and handed them to Mrs. Cake. "Here you go ma'am."

"Why thank you." Mrs. Cake said while taking the envelopes. "And what are you doing here?"

"I'm going to work with mommy so I can write my paper for school about her."

"Well isn't that sweet. Here," Mrs. Cake ran inside the bakery and came back out with two muffins. "For being such great mailmares."

"MUFFINS!" Derpy shouted as she took hers and quickly gobbled it up. "Thank you Mrs. Cake." She said with her mouth full.

"You're welcome."

"Well we got mail to deliver." Derpy spread her wings and took off into the sky.

"Be careful!" Mrs. Cake called to her.

"We will!" Derpy called back right before hitting a lamppost and knocking it over. "My bad!"

Mrs. Cake giggled to herself as she examined the mail. "Let's see here, water bill, advertisement for coffee, postcard from Carrot's sister Angel, what's this? A letter for Pinkamena Diane?"

"Oh," Pinkie said. "That's for me. That's my name."

"I thought your name was Pinkie."

"My name is Pinkamena Diane, Pinkie Pie for short. I don't like my real name, it's too boring. Pinkie Pie sounds much more fun."

Mrs. Cake stared awkwardly at Pinkie for a second. "I guess it does. Well I'd better give this postcard to Carrot." She handed Pinkie her letter and went upstairs.

Pinkie happily tore into the letter. "It must be from mommy and daddy. No one else calls me by my real name." Her heart sank when she read the letter. "Oh…" Pinkie set the letter down and cried on the counter.

Just then Rainbow Dash entered the bakery. "Man Rarity's impossible to work with when she wants something perfect. Good luck with your…" She gasped and ran over to her fiancé. "What's wrong?!"

"Mommy and daddy…aren't coming….to the wedding."

"Why?"

"Because they don't like me…because I like mares."

Rainbow Dash through her harms around Pinkie. "Well screw them for not realizing what a wonderful daughter they have." Pinkie kept on crying. Rainbow Dash grabbed the pink mare's face and moved it closer to hers. "Hey dry those tears." She said seductively. "Where's that laughing little filly I love so much." The rainbow-colored pegasus started tickling her stomach. "Come on, where is she?"

Pinkie Pie burst out laughing. "Dashy stop!" She laughed. "You know I'm ticklish!" She pushed Rainbow Dash away. "Thanks Dashy I needed that."

"Any time sweet flank." She locked into a kiss with her soon-to-be wife. Somepony started knocking on the door soon afterwards. "I'll get it." Rainbow Dash went over to the door and opened it. Standing outside was a grey-colored mare with her main hidden in a bonnet and the cutie mark of a needle and thread. "Can I help you?"

"I was told that my sister resides here." The mare said.

"Um, I think you got the wrong…"

"OH MY GOSH!" Pinkie shouted as she dashed around the room and pushed Rainbow Dash out of the way. "CASEY?!"

The mare smiled. "Would seem that I was well informed. Tis been a while has it not Pinkamena Diane?"

Pinkie hugged her and started bouncing up and down with excitement. "Oh my gosh it really is you Casey!"

"Um," Rainbow Dash said.

"Oh sorry! Dashy, this is my big sister Casey."

"Thy name is Cassidy." Cassidy corrected.

"You'll always be Casey to me." Pinkie said with a smile.

Cassidy looked at Rainbow Dash. "This is the mare thou are to be wed to?"

"Yep." Pinkie ran over and hugged Rainbow Dash. "This is my fiancé Rainbow Dash. So if you're here then that means mommy and daddy changed their mind right?"

"I am afraid not. Thy have come here without mother and father's knowledge, and well as against their wishes. They are very cross with thee Pinkamena Diane. They say your ways have brought about great shame to our family."

"Oh…" Pinkie looked down at the ground.

"Then why are you here?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Thy do not believe tis right to neglect a member of kin, regardless of thy choice of life. Thou are my sister Pinkamena Diane, no matter what."

Pinkie hugged Cassidy again. "Oh thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you Casey! You don't know how much this means to me! Come on let me show you around Ponyville. If you're going to stay here you have to the meet all my friends. You are staying right? You can stay here with me, as long as the Cakes say it's okay that is."

Cassidy gave a nervous laugh. "Um, thy can hardly wait."
