A Matter of Pride and Honor

In the crusader clubhouse, two crusaders were sitting at the table, having a somewhat intense discussion.

“Ok, so you and Rainbow Dash are technically sisters,” Apple Bloom said slowly. “So she’s getting married to my brother, so that means she's my sister-in-law, and so Mac's your brother-in-law. And so that makes us…” Her voice trailed off, and she scratched the back of her neck. “Cousins?” she guessed.

“I don't think so,” Scootaloo said. “Cousins are kids of aunts and uncles, not brothers.”

“Second cousins?”

Scootaloo made a face. “I don't even know what that means.”

“Third cousins once removed?”

“Now you're just making things up,” Scootaloo accused.

Apple Bloom scowled. “Am not.”

“Are too.”

“Am not!”

“Are too!”

They glared at each other. “Fine. We'll ask somepony else,” Apple Bloom said. She stuck her head all the way out the window. “Hey, Big Mac!” she called.

Macintosh glanced up.

“When you marry Rainbow Dash, what’ll that make me and Scootaloo family-wise?”

Mac chuckled. “Technically, you won’t be.”

“Aww,” Apple Bloom said dejectedly.

“Hey, now. Family ain't who you're related to…” he started.

Apple Bloom sighed. “It's who you make it with,” she finished. “I know, I know. Fine.”

Mac waited until Apple Bloom had turned to go back inside before answering. “But you can be honorary sisters,” he suggested.

Their ears pricked up.

“Honorary sisters. I like the sound of that,” Scootaloo said, nodding.

Apple Bloom cheered. “New sister!” And she reached out and grabbed Scootaloo in a tight hug.

“Ugh! No hugging! Apple Bloom, let go! I don't care if we're-! Let-! Apple Bloom!”

Aw, I was looking forward to the other Wonderbolts, outside of Soarin, getting a look at her coltfriend. Oh well, still a good story.

Dumb-Bell x Marble (Pie) when?

[Glitterpaint]

i like the story but, i am confused. Are they getting married or are they planning to? Also, what happen with Soarin and his marefriend after what they did?

Maybe there's room for another stinger…

Just planning to. For now, anyway.
I'm assuming Clean Sweep got pregnant. But that's a different story.

[Captain Unstoppable]

I gotta say I really enjoyed this story. I like the development of characters, how they were all kept in character, and just a ton of funny extras. My only thing is I feel like Clean Sweep was Applejack without being Applejack. Though if that is my only complaint I must say I liked this story. Great job.

[Drago Cadenza]

I love it. It had humor, character development, and was enjoyable to read. Fav!

[The Cyan Recluse]

Well, that was really well done from start to finish. I loved the slight cluelessness of Rainbow Dash as well. That's an interpretation I've never seen before. I was wondering why each chapter had so few comments, but now I see that the whole story was posted over a very few days. Still, I don't see why this one hasn't gotten more love. It definitely earned two thumbs up from me!

Actually, this 'Marble' is one of the castle statues, not the Pie.

[Snowdrifter]

Something's wrong! I can only upvote once!
Have a 'stash instead.

I know. That's why I put the "Pie" in parentheses. It was supposed to mean "If he liked that marble, I wonder how he would like the mare Marble".

Oh, I get it now. I jumped to a conclusion without all the facts. Sorry about that.

[Isaac The Red]

A short but fun read.

[Born-From-Black-Lightnin]

I really enjoyed this story.

[Gustauve]

Damnit this was a fun read. I'm glad I read it.

[EternallyLost]

This was a fun read. No melodrama, everyone mostly in character... just a simple story of two ponies eventually getting together (even if the initial reasoning was skewed by Dash-Logic). Cute little read.

[Atom Smash]

I really liked this story, it was calm and relatable.

[WildFire 24]

Loved it
