Starting Over 2: Returning Home

Today's the day. Today is the day that Spectra and Rainbow get married. Neither of them could be any happier. Although, if they were in the same room, it would make it better. Pinkie hosted the wedding outside in a giant tent. Spectra was in a separate tent, with Shadow Nova, Aeb, Sparks and Luna. Aeb looked absolutely terrified of Shadow, Sparks was perched on top of the mirror Spectra was in front of, and Luna was next to Spectra. He was wearing the tuxedo Rarity gave him to go on his and Rainbow's date, the one he proposed on. Spectra was sweating bullets. He was so nervous about everything. Luna was sitting on a pillow next to Spectra, Lunar Guards were outside the door. Luna was trying to calm Spectra down.

"Spectra, Equestria isn't in a state of war between another species or anything, why are you so nervous? Usually you're confident and out going!"

Spectra looked to Luna with worried eyes.

"What if something happens? Like, if Rainbow thought it over, and ran away and didn't want to marry me? What if-"

He was interrupted by Luna smacking him across the face. She grabbed him and pulled him in closer to her face.

"Rainbow loves you way too much to do that! If she does run away or not want to marry you, I'll promise to give you the kingdom of Canterlot!"

Spectra shook his head and made a weird noise while doing it. "Blahlahlahlahlahlah! Alright, sorry Luna. I'll try and keep my cool."

Luna smiled and nodded. "Glad to hear it. Hey, Shadow? How do you think he looks?"

Shadow looked Spectra over. Shadow smiled and chuckled.

"I think he looks like a complete idiot. But if you're getting married, you have to look the part, right?"

Spectra laughed. "I guess."

Aeb smiles. "I think you look cool. Sorta like a secret agent or something."

Spectra chuckles. "Cheers, mate."

Luna looked at Spectra curiously. Spectra noticed this. "What?"

"....I don't know where I have heard your accent before...."

Spectra shrugs. "Ask my parents. If you can bring ponies back from the dead."

Spectra laughs and looks at Luna, she didn't laugh. "I wish I could, Spectra."

Spectra and the group remained quiet for a while, before Shadow spoke up.

"Can we go, yet? Honestly."

Luna nods. "Yes, Spectra, head up to the altar, whilst me, Aeb and Shadow will be in the front row. We will be silently cheering you on."

Spectra nods. "Alright, lets go."

The group head inside the tent holding the wedding of the pegasus couple. There was cyan coloured streamers everywhere, dark blue decorations. There was an altar with a flower covered arc right behind it. There were rows and rows of seats for ponies to sit on, only a few ponies were present. Spectra didn't recognize many of them. Spectra walked up to the altar and stood there, waiting for his wife to come up and marry him.

-----Rainbow Dash's Perspective-----

Rainbow was inside a tent separate from Spectra's, and she was worrying her pretty head off. Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy and Twilight were inside with her. Nopony knew where Pinkie Pie was, and nopony wanted to know. Rarity was busy putting Rainbow's dress on her, Twilight was reading a book on marriage, Fluttershy was sitting next to Rainbow, talking with her, and Applejack was sitting the opposite side of Fluttershy next to Rainbow.

"Rainbow, why ya all nervous? Arn't ya excited?"

Rainbow nodded furiously. "Yeah, I'm excited. But I can't help but worry!"

Fluttershy gave Rainbow a warm, happy smile. "What are you so worried about? You love Spectra with all your heart, he loves you with more then his heart, what more could you ask for?"

Rainbow looked to Fluttershy with a worried look.

"That's just it! What if he doesn't love me!? What if he runs off!? What if-"

AJ turned Rainbow's head around and gave her a slap.

"Rainbow! Think about the words in ya head before speakin' em! Why would he run away?! He loves ya! And if he never loved you, I'll give ya my apple orchard!"

Rainbow shook her head and calmed down. "Right, right. Sorry, AJ. Sorry everypony."

AJ and Fluttershy nodded. Rarity walked around Rainbow. "I've finished! And may I say, you look lovely!"

Rainbow looked at herself in a mirror and gasped. "Wow. He's gunna be stunned! Thank you, Rare!"

Rarity waved a hoof. "Think nothing of it, darling."

Rainbow nods. "Should we go out yet?"

Twilight runs up to her. "NO! According to my book, you have to make the stallion wait a really long time! Not only will that let all the guests get here before it starts, but it'll make Spectra want you even more!"

Rainbow laughs. "Twilight, you're such an egghead. Alright, lets wait girls."

-----Spectra's Perspective-----

Spectra had been waiting for ages. He was starting to get bored, and so was everypony else. All the seats were full and Spectra could swear he could hear boredom just emanate from them. Spectra looked around and found a band set to his side. He got an idea. He ran back into his room and fetched Melody. He ran back inside and went up to Aeb and Shadow.

"Do either of you know how to play instruments?"

They both nodded. 'How does Shadow know how to play instruments?'

'Magic for all I care.'

"Then come up with me. Let's play some tunes!"

-----Rainbow's Perspective-----

Rainbow and her friends did as Twilight said and waited a long time. For a while, they just chatted, until they heard music play from inside the tent.

"Am I missing my own wedding?"

They all exited the tent and entered the main room. Inside, Spectra was playing Melody with a microphone up to mouth height, Aeb was at the drums and Shadow was with another guitar.

The song was one Rainbow had never heard before.

"Spectra must've wrote it."

Her friends sat down in the rows and smiled. Rainbow stood in the middle of the walkway, Spectra hadn't noticed her.

"There's a chance that I could fall

And not come back

And never regret a thing

I'd never get back on track

Darkness all around me,

I can't find the light,

I let it all surround me,

Giving up without a fight.

The bitterness and pain inside,

Countless tears I had to cry,

I was facing all my fears,

Just to let you in

To dry my tears, but

Your kindness won't betray me,

I feel your heart and soul,

Your kindness still can save me,

I choose to not let go,

Stretching out you somehow reach me,

I know this can't be wrong,

I'm ready, won't you teach me

Your song of kindness

Quiet grace surrounds you,

And helps me find my own,

I can't tell you how you've helped me,

And how much I have grown,

Even though you're far away,

Inspiration comes from you,

To shine a littler brighter every day,

If you only knew...

I will never get upset,

And I will never, ever forget,

The happiness you made me feel,

Almost as if you're actually real, but

Your kindness won't betray me,

I feel your heart and soul,

Your kindness still can save me,

I choose to not let go,

Stretching out you somehow reach me,

I know this can't be wrong,

I'm ready, won't you teach me

Your song of kindness

Your kindness won't betray me,

I feel your heart and soul,

Your kindness still can save me,

In a way you'll never know.

Your kindness won't betray me,

I feel your heart and soul,

Your kindness still can save me,

I choose to not let go,

Stretching out you somehow reach me,

I know this can't be wrong,

I'm ready, won't you teach me

The way to get along,

Even when the cold wind's blowing,

And I want to just give in,

It warms my heart just knowing,

I'll hear your voice again,

So won't you sing it loud,

And won't you sing it long,

I promise to remember,

Your song of kindness

I promise to remember.

I promise to remember..."

(Authors Note: I know its a Fluttershy song. Don't remind me.)

Everypony cheered. Aeb and Shadow got down, smiling, and walked back to their seats. Spectra slowly opened his eyes and spotted Rainbow. His jaw dropped. Rainbow walked up to the altar with a grin. She motioned with her head for him to come up with her. He put Melody away and walked up to her.

"You're absolutely beautiful."

Rainbow blushed and giggled.

"You look handsome."

Princess Celestia walked inside the tent and walked up to the altar. Everypony bowed, but when the couple tried to bow, she stopped them.

"This is a day for you two to remember. Don't bow to me today. Enjoy today."

The couple nod and let Celestia walk up to the front of the altar. She turned and faced everypony.

"Mares, and Gentlecolts. Today, we are here to witness the marriage of one Spectra Speed, or 'Speedy',...."

Spectra looked at Luna, who giggled and grinned.

"....and one Rainbow Dash, or 'Dashie'. They have shown complete love, loyalty and devotion to each other, and nothing less. They want to make this love for each other official, by getting married. Spectra, say your vows."

Spectra nodded and looked at Rainbow.

"Rainbow, ever since that day two years ago when you crashed into me, I've had the best times of my life with you. I've never had someone care for me so much as you have for me. And for that, I thank you. I want to make more happy memories with you by spending the rest of my life with you."

Rainbow was tearing up, and resisted the urge to leap at Spectra and kiss him.

"Now, Rainbow, you will say yours."

Rainbow nodded and got a happy face.

"Spectra, I don't regret ever meeting you. I've treasured each and every moment that we have spent with each other. When I first met you, I didn't know that I would soon fall in love with you, but I would never say that I regret loving you. You may have a dark past, but I'm always here for you, and I always will be."

Spectra put a goofy smile on. "Great, now mine sounds bad."

Everypony was thrown into hysterics. Even Celestia was laughing a lung out, she was coughing and laughing at the same time. When everypony calmed down, Celestia looked down at the two ponies.

"And now, Spectra, do you promise to love and to care for Rainbow Dash?"

Spectra looked at Rainbow with a smile. "I do."

"And do you promise to take whatever fate may throw at you along side her?"

Spectra nodded. "I do."

"Rainbow Dash, do you promise to love and to care for Spectra Speed?"

Rainbow smiled. "I do."

"And do you promise to take whatever fate may throw at you along side him?"

Rainbow was almost crying. "I do."

Celestia nodded. A Celestial Guard came from behind her holding a ring with a small chunk of Galaxy Diamond in it. She gave it to Rainbow, who put it on Spectra's hoof.

"Then I pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."

Spectra grabbed Rainbow and gave her the most passionate and loving kiss he could muster.

Everypony was cheering, and some were crying tears of joy. When the couple pulled away, Spectra looked at his friend, Luna was smiling a massive smile. Aeb was holding Shadow in a one-armed hug, with them both cheering.

Rainbow looked over to her friends, all of them were crying, but they were standing up and cheering at the same time. Suddenly, Pinkie Pie appears next to the couple.

"Come on! It's time to party!"

Pinkie disappeared and reappeared behind a giant DJ Table, which nopony noticed before. She reaches down and pulls Vinyl up.

"What!? What am I doing here? Oh, a DJ table? Alright! Let's party!"

Vinyl started playing some beats and a wicked song started playing. Spectra and Rainbow were dancing together on the dance floor.(all they did was move the chairs out of the way)

Spectra and Rainbow were the happiest couple in Equestria that day, and nopony could take that away from them.

After everypony had left, only Spectra, Shadow, Luna, Aeb, Sparks, Rainbow and her friends were left.

"Thank you everypony. That was truly a great experience for me. I must return to Canterlot now. Congratulations, Spectra and Rainbow Da- I guess we have to call you Rainbow Speed now, right?"

Rainbow looked at Spectra and smiled. "Yeah. I'm Mrs. Rainbow Speed now."

Luna nodded and smiled. "Take care."

Luna walks outside and flies off. Everypony else headed off home. When Spectra and Rainbow got home, they threw off their clothing and placed it in the closet. Spectra and Rainbow lied down in bed and....well....take a guess.

After they were done, Spectra was holding Rainbow in a hug, smiling. She had fallen asleep ages ago, so he soon drifted off to sleep. He fully expected another nightmare. But, he got a dream. In it, he was flying through the open sky, with Rainbow right next to him. Just soaring the skies, having an absolute blast.
