I Said No to the Offer of a Lifetime

Twilight woke up in her bed starring right into Spike's eyes. She smiled. "Morning sweetheart." She giggled.

"Morning Twilight." Spike was about the kiss her, but he coughed up a scroll. He unrolled it and read it aloud.

"Dear Twilight Sparkle,

Is everthing alright? It has been a week since your last letter and I have grown worried. I do hope you haven't tried anything foolish again. Please reply as soon as possible.

Your loving teacher,

Princess Celestia"

Twilight blushed. She had been so caught up in helping plan Pinkie and Rainbow Dash's, as well as her and Spike's nights in bed, that she had completely forgot to write Celestia. She told Spike to write down a letter for her.

"Dear Princess Celestia,

I'm just fine. Sorry for not writing to you for so long. I've been very busy lately. Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash are getting married and I'm helping with their wedding. I'll try to remeber to write you.

Your faitful student,

Twilight Sparkle"

Spike blew a breath of fire at the scroll and off it went to the princess. Spike then turned to Twilight and kissed her passionately

Later that day the streets of Ponyville were taken by storm when the royal guards swooped down and cleared the streets. Even more shock came when Princess Celestia landed in the streets in her golden chariot. The sun goddess dismounted her chariot and walked entered Sugar Cube Corner.

Celestia rather enjoyed the quaint little bakery. She had never been to such an establishment before, or at least not in the last couple hundred years anyway. She approached the front counter and rang the service bell.

Cassaidy walked out of the kitchen with a plate of cupcakes in her hoofs. "Welcome to Sugar Cube Corner, how may I help..." She gasped and dropped her cupcakes. "L-l-lady Celestia..." She managed to say before fainting.

"Casey," Pinkie said while walking out of the kitchen. "We've been over this, the cupcakes go under the the counter not on the floor." She looked up and saw Princess Celestia. "Princess Celestia! Oh!" Pinkie bowed her head, remembering the manors that Twilight had taught her. "What are you doing at Sugar Cube Corner? If you wanted something I could have delivered it to you."

"I felt it would be better if I were to come to you on this matter." Celestia said. "Now Pinkie Pie, I understand you are to be wed to Rainbow Dash in the coming future?"

"You bet! We've got everything all planned out. We've already made the cake."

"Where do you intend on having your wedding?"

"Well the Cake's and I were going to rent out town hall and have it there."

"I see. Well perhaps you would like to be wed in Canterlot instead?"

Pinkie gasped. Had Princess Celestia seriously just offered for her to have a Canterlot Wedding? That only happens to the most important ponies in Equestria. But Pinkie shook her head. "No thank you."

Celestia seemed to be taken back by Pinkie's statement. "I beg your pardon."

"Princess, I'm honored by your offer, but I don't want to be married in Canterlot."

"What is wrong with Canterlot?" Celestia asked almost seeming offended.

"Everypony there is too stuffy and puffy. It feels like everything there has something stuck up their flank. And when I was hosting your niece's reception, the party didn't feel right there. Even DJing alongside Vinyl didn't make it feel like a real party. I want to be married here in Ponyville, where I grew up. Where I met Dashie."

"I understand. Still I would be honored to wed the two of you."

"Of course Princess."

"Then I must be taking my leave now. Enjoy the rest of my day." Celestia left the bakery and her chariot took off.

Cassidy slowly got up. "Oh my head...what happened?"

"Oh Princess Celestia came in here and you were all" Pinkie mimicked Cassidy fainting.

"I was graced by Celestia's presence?! Does she visit often?!"

"Nope."

"Oh...then what business did she have at this establishment?"

"She asked me to have my wedding in Canterlot."

Cassidy gasped. "Thy are going to have a Canterlot wedding?!"

"Nope. I told her I wanted my wedding to be here in Ponyville."

"What? Are thy mad?! How could thy refuse to be wed in the grandest manor?"

Pinkie smiled gleefully. "I have my reasons."

"I shall never understand thy Pinkamena Diane."

On the dirt roads far beyond Ponyville trudged a tan stallion with a black pilgrim's hat pulling a carriage. In the carriage sat an old looking mare with a light grey coat and a fade blue mare who looked younger.

"So Pinkamena Diane resides in the town called Ponyville?" The older mare asked?

"Tis where the letter came from." The stallion said.

"I had hoped she perished at the claws of timber wolfs. The world is better off without mares such as her. Hopefully we are able to reach the town before Pinkamena Diane gets to Cassidy."
