---

Starlight and Apple Bloom sit on the balcony of their home over Ponyville Library. They watch a rare planetary alignment through Apple Bloom's telescope while snuggling under a blanket. In the distance, they can see Twilight's castle, where Starlight's parents are watching the phenomenon too. In the other direction, Apple Bloom's sister is watching the event with Starlight's younger brother and his friends in his clubhouse.

The alignment is over shortly, and the couple heads back inside. Apple Bloom starts getting their bed ready, but Starlight fidgets in front of their dresser.

“Apple Bloom… Would you like to get married?”

The young mare chuckles. “Sure, if Ah meet the right stallion.”

“Um, no. I mean, right now.”

Apple Bloom turns around, confused. Starlight is kneeling before her, levitating a jeweled anklet. Apple Bloom gasps in shock.

“I know it isn't much,” Starlight apologizes. “Dad helped me make it. Just gold from a planet where it flows over a waterfall. Gems from various aliens worlds and different eons. Diamonds compressed together from countless smaller ones harvested from asteroids. Nothing too fancy since you deserve so much more.”

Apple Bloom lifts her coltfriend up by the cheeks. “Shut up. It's perfect, ya idiot.” She gives him a long, deep kiss. “Course Ah'll marry ya.” She laughs. “Can't wait to tell all mah friends…”

“Can't we do it now?”

“Ha, ha. What?”

“No. I mean it. Let's get married right now.”

“But what about our friends and family and a ceremony and all that?” She rolls her eyes. “Ah'm sure ya have a weddin’ dress in mind.”

“We can do all that too.” Starlight taps his horn. “Time travel, remember?” He gives Apple Bloom a big hug. “I just love you so much. I want to be with you forever. I've waited twelve years to marry you. I don't want to wait a second more.”

Apple Bloom smiles, enjoying the sappy sentiment. Her stupor is broken when she realizes something. “Wait a tic. Did ya say ‘twelve years’?”

Starlight nods. “That's how long it's been since the moment I met you.”

“But… we're the same age right?”

“Uh huh.”

“That means when we first met Ah was two years older than you.”

“Yep. … Which is why I thought it was weird that you seduced somepony much younger than yourself.” He gives Apple Bloom another hug. “But I love you, even if you are a horrible vamp who warped my innocent mind when I was a mere foal.”

Apple Bloom growls at her fiancée's antics.

“I love you too.”

Apple Bloom sighs and returns the hug. “Fine. Ah love ya too.”

“Then we'll get married right now?”

“Ah don't know…”

“If you marry me right now, we can…” Starlight whispers into Apple Bloom's ear.

The young mare's eyes go wide. She pushes back and starts poking Starlight's horn. “How do ya get thing thing t’ teleport us t’ Los Pegasus?”

Starlight laughs and teleports them away.

Three days later. The honeymoon suite of the Celestia’s Palace Hotel & Casino is trashed. Dirty room service dishes and takeout boxes litter the rooms. There are many empty sparkling wine and premium hard cider bottles everywhere. The linens are stained from days of going unchanged. The carpets need a deep steam cleaning. Every available and some unavailable surfaces have been “used” by the celebrating couple.

In the bathroom, Starlight and Apple Bloom relax and recharge. The newlyweds pass one of their premium hard cider bottles between each other.

“We should get married more often,” Starlight sighs.

“Starlight…”

“Again?! You have to give me some time to regain my energy.”

Apple Bloom blushes. “Not that. Ah was gonna bring up our weddin’.”

“What about it?”

“Well, we were married by a buffalo in a white-sequined jumpsuit.”

“Best wedding ever!”

“And Ah don' deny the past few days have been fun but exhaustin’...”

Starlight moves himself around so he can hold his wife. “I know what you're getting at.” He kisses her. “But after what we did on the ceiling, I'm going to have to let my magic recharge a bit before we really get crazy with time travel shenanigans.”

“Speakin’ o’ crazy, thank Celestia fer chandeliers, right?”

Her husband fakes disgust. “You worship Celestia? Ew! Marriage ruined.”

Apple Bloom playfully pushes him away and splashes him. They laugh and pass the bottle around again.

After one last intercoital session, Starlight and Apple Bloom returned back in time to around when he proposed to her. They gathered all of their friends and family at Twilight's castle to announce their marriage. And there was much rejoicing. Despite knowing of the couple's marriage, they and their families went to work planning a fancy wedding.

Starlight and Apple Bloom meet with Rarity at Canterlot Carousel. The older mare takes their measurements in the fitting room. Spike watches them from a back room, instinctively protective of his wife and future child. Starlight hops from the stand and helps Apple Bloom up.

“It is so wonderful to do this for you,” Rarity says. “As you know, I made dress plans for all my friends years ago. It will be great finally using the ideas I came up with for your sister.”

“But I wanna wear the dress,” Starlight complains. “I wanna be the pretty one.”

“But dearie, the mare traditionally wears the dress.”

Starlight pouts and gives Rarity his best sad face.

“Its okay, Rarity,” Apple Bloom assures. “Ah don' mind switchin’ it up a bit. ‘Sides, ya can go all out on the bridesmaids dresses. Ah'm sure Sweetie Belle and the rest will love what you come up with.”

Rarity scowls for a second then smiles kindly. “How about matching dresses?”

“Sure,” Apple Bloom agrees.

“As long as I'm the prettiest,” Starlight stipulates.

Both mares roll their eyes as Rarity goes back to taking Apple Bloom's measurements.

“Since you mentioned it, have you considered who your mare of honor will be?” Rarity asks.

“Good question,” Apple Bloom replies.

“Imma going with my brother,” Starlight says. “Wait. Do we have to get all of them in to be fitted too?”

“You're the only one wearing a dress,” Apple Bloom commands.

“ ‘kay! Just don't blame me if their tuxes don't fit.”

“He does have a point,” Rarity agrees, “but back to my question…”

“Sorry.” Apple Bloom thinks. “Its hard pickin’ jus’ one. Ah mean, Ah've been friends with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo ferever. Babs is my favorite cousin. And then there's mah sister…”

Before anypony can respond, there is a commotion out front. Sassy Saddles is heard yelping in shock. The door to the fitting room is kicked open. Sweetie Belle gallops over and grabs her friend's hoof.

“Pick me! Pick me! Pick me!” the young unicorn begs. “PICK ME!”

Rarity tries removing her sister from her client's leg. Starlight just covers his mouth and laughs at the display.

Apple Bloom tries kicking free. “Leaning mighty heavily towards mah sister now…”

Apple Bloom samples a row of treats at Sugarcube Corner. The Cakes, Pinkie Pie, and Razzly and watch in anticipation. Starlight sits off to the side, coloring with his little sisters.

“Ah like the apple cake,” Apple Bloom comments. “The tarts are good too. Ah think ya went overboard with everythin’ else, though. Ya should ask mah sister fer help with the fritters. She mixes them up good.”

“Did you like the sparkly frosting?” Razzly asks. “Pound helped me make it.”

“It was nice, but Ah didn' understand what ya meant by it.”

“It was supposed to be served in the dark, so it would be like apples and starlight.”

“I get it!” Starlight calls.

“It was Pumpkin's idea, but we helped.”

“Thank ya. Ah really liked it,” Apple Bloom replies.

“How was everything else?” Pinkie Pie asks. “Did you like my decoration ideas? Not too over the top? I've been planning your wedding for the past ten years!”

Apple Bloom is a little surprised. “Y-yeah. Everything looks great. Jus’ don' ferget t’ invite yer family too. We are essentially cousins.”

“Of course!” Pinkie looks at Starlight and her foals. “Anypony special you want to bring?”

“Nah. You got all my friends, family, loved ones, Helios. That's everypony.”

“Are you even going to contribute anything?” Pumpkin snorts as her teacher returns to coloring. “All you've done is play with the babies and agree to everything. Why are you even here?”

“I'm here as a reminder that Rei, Del, and Rainbow will be at the wedding too.”

“And Rei's eating for two, too!” Pinkie adds.

Pumpkin looks confused, but her parents panic and scramble to the kitchen.

“Hurry up and get baking!” Cup Cake yells.

“We're way behind schedule!” Carrot Cake adds.

Pinkie Pie laughs and collects her foals. “Better help them out.”

“Wait. I don't get it,” Pumpkin says.

“It is because they can eat as much as everypony else at the reception. Each,” Starlight replies.

“Oh,” the filly squeaks, turning white.

“That's why I've been helping Aunt Lemon with the ice cream order,” Razzly says. She turns to Apple Bloom. “I'll tell her which flavors you liked, and we'll focus on those.”

Pinkie holds the door for Razzly as the filly prances from the shop. Starlight and Apple Bloom follow, talking about the decorations, music, and other details.

“Pumpkin! Pound! Get your flanks in here and help!” their dad calls.

“Now!” their mom adds.

The two foals rush to help with the baking. After a moment, Pumpkin hurries back to the front of the shop, to hang a “Sorry, We're Closed” sign on the door.

Starlight stares intently at a flower. He backs away and shakes his head. “Nope. This one has a stamen out of place.”

Rose, Lilly, and Daisy faint. “The horror!”

Apple Bloom glares at her husband. “Stop that. You'll end up really hurting them.”

With the planning complete and preparations under way, it is time for the bachelor and bachelorette parties! The stallions all gather at Ponyville Library for Starlight. Since Satsuma is present, they can not be too wild, so they play video games and have a few rounds of Cards Against Ponies. The mares take over Sweet Apple Acres for a wild party. Between Applejack, Pinkie, and Rainbow, the alcohol flows freely with most of the guests ending up buzzed at the very least.

Apple Bloom sits around a table, joking with her friends.

“You should have picked me…” Sweetie Belle grumbles into her drink.

“Come on, Sweetie Belle,” Apple Bloom replies, setting down her mug of cider. “Like ya woulda done anythin’ diff’rent. When ya get married, Ah bet ya'll pick yer sister too.”

“Besides, you'd be paired with Satsuma on Starlight's side,” Scootaloo adds. “You don't want to look like a creep.”

“Ah… He's Starlight's cutest unmarried brother too…” Sweetie moans.

“He's Starlight's only unhitched brother,” Apple Bloom snorts. “Helios is engaged too.”

“That means he's still game, right?”

The others moan. Diamond Tiara staggers over and wraps her forelegs around her marefriend.

“Scootaloo~, I wanna to get married,” the pink pony whines. “I wanna have a big, fancy ceremony and everything!”

Scootaloo tries ignoring her and her friends’ snickers by drinking.

“We'll have a giant cake with a chocolate waterfall. Then we'll take a private train car to a private resort where we will have a private room all to ourselves.” Diamond takes a swig of her drink. “And by ‘private’, I mean ‘not private’ because I will be screwing you the whole time!”

Scootaloo’s wings stick up. She turns redder. Her friends and anypony nearby try to contain open laughter.

“I love screwing you. You are so fun to screw. Let's go screw now!”

Scootaloo bolts up, lifting Diamond, who is still draped on the pegasus’ back. “Okay! You've had enough. Let's get you cooled off a bit.”

Scootaloo carries her marefriend to the next room.

“Try not t’ be too loud,” Babs Seed calls after them.

Everypony laughs. Scootaloo cries out, half from embarrassment, half from Diamond playfully biting her ear.
--------------------------

Starlight plays video games with Button Mash since nopony else wants to. Satsuma excitedly tells his father all about the planetary alignment from only a couple nights ago.

Helios trots over and watches the game. “You're just getting married because I proposed to Krile not to long ago,” he snorts.

“Oh, calm down, Helo,” Starlight sighs. “It is just coincidental timing. … And the anniversary of when we first met.”

“I still say you're copying me. Also, why isn't there any alcohol at this party? I thought that was a staple.”

“Do you see our little brother here?”

“Yeah.”

“Well, I don't want Applejack kicking my and dad's teeth in if he gets his hooves on any booze.”

“I'm sure it will be fine if dad says it is fine,” Satsuma chimes in.

“If your dad lets you have alcohol while you're still a minor, I'll punch him,” James warns.

The colt groans in annoyance and goes to find something else to do.
--------------------------

Rei gathers everypony around her future sister-in-law for an announcement. Apple Bloom watches the pegasus, curious but nervous about what she'll say. Mysteriously, Rainbow and Alba slip out of the room.

“As we get ready to welcome Apple Bloom into our family,” Rei begins, “her future sisters and I wanted to make sure she was truly fit to join us, so we decided to come up with a little test. Unfortunately, we couldn't settle on one idea, so we split in two groups.”

Alba returns with a stack of papers.

“Alba will administer the written portion while Rainbow and I set up the physical challenge.”

Alba sets the papers in front of Apple Bloom as Rei leaves. “You'll have thirty minutes to answer as much as you can. Good luck!”

Apple Bloom groans as she looks for an easy problem to start with.
…

Apple Bloom slams her head into the table once time is up. Alba seems giddy to grade the test. Rei looks for her cue to return.

“Looks like you did well,” Alba says, hastily grading. “You really nailed the parts written by Presea.”

“At least that explains why there was a section on candy…” the earth pony moans.

“Actually, I wrote that part. She was the one who did the questions about industrial-scale agriculture.”

“What?”

“Oh! Looks like Rei is ready with the part she, Rainbow, Del, and Juliet came up with.” Alba leans towards her sister-in-law. “I hope you had a small dinner.”

Alba wave her sisters in. Apple Bloom groans again when she sees the trays of food being brought in. Twilight Sparkle looks ready to steal from her daughter-in-law when she sees hay burgers as part of the challenge.
…

After nearly losing her dinner trying to compete with her sisters-in-law at an eating contest, Apple Bloom is back in the spotlight again. Applejack stands beside her sister. Babs Seed is away this time.

“Don' worry, little sis,” Applejack assures. “It's almost over.”

“Ah hope so,” the younger mare moans.

“As y'all know, we Apples brew some mean cider.”

There are a number of cheers from the guests.

“But what few ponies know, is that we also brew a ‘special’ cider.”

There are fewer cheers, but they are louder.

“It is tradition that every Apple makes their own special brew once they come o’ age.” Applejack puts a foreleg around her sister. “AB jus’ made her first batch last year. As did Babs Seed. We had a fun time.”

There is a collective ‘d'aww’ from the guests.

“Had an even better time drinkin’ it, right cuz?” Babs says, rolling a barrel into the room.

“And after we're satisfied with our special mix, we record it in the family journal fer future generations t’ use,” Applejack continues. “Which brings us t’ the Apple family weddin’ tradition.”

Babs starts fitting a tap onto the barrel.

“See, every Apple has their recipe written down. Mine, AB’s, Big Mac’s, even our parents. T’ celebrate the upcoming weddin’, the future Apple bride or groom has t’ drink some o’ an extra special mix o’ both their parents’ special cider.” Applejack gets a mug from Babs. “So little sis, this is from Ma and Pa.”

The guests ‘d'aww’ again as Applejack passes the mug. After a tearful hug, Apple Bloom chugs the cider.

“That was real good,” Apple Bloom states.

“Glad ya like it,” Applejack replies. “ ‘Cause ya ain't done yet.”

“What.”

Babs taps the barrel. “Did say you had t’ drink ‘some’ of it, cuz.”

Apple Bloom groans really loud as her sister refills the mug.
--------------------------

Starlight sits in the middle of the main room in the library. Button was left to the game since he did not seem to notice anypony calling him. The rest of the guests, minus Big McIntosh, surround the future groom.

“Is this the part of the episode where you make me do some weird wedding tradition?” Starlight asks.

James pats his son on the back. “If I had any, it would be mucking about in time, but you're already doing that.”

His son grins, proudly.

“Don't ask me for any traditions from your other side,” Night Light adds. “Your grandmother keep me tied up in a closet during my bachelor party.” He sips a drink. “Good times.”

“Oh, you missed a lot,” James says.

His father-in-law snorts angrily into his drink.

“Don't worry, we've got you covered,” Satsuma says, returning.

His uncle follows with a barrel of cider on his back.

“Now its a party!” Night Light cheers.

Satsuma rolls his eyes. “When we were planning this, Big Mac told me that it is tradition to make the pony marrying into the Apple family do something really embarrassing.”

“Eeyup,” his uncle agrees.

“We also figured that nothing we could think up would embarrass Starlight.”

“Eeyup,” his brother agrees.

“So, we settled on the other Apple family tradition instead.”

Big Mac drops the barrel in front of Starlight. “Drink up.”

The unicorn takes a deep breath. “Get me a straw.”
…

Starlight levitates the barrel over his head to get the last drops of cider. The guests cheer as he drops the barrel, done with the task.

Starlight takes a breath, stands, and declares, “I have to pee!”

The unicorn teleports away. Everypony laughs and goes back to the party.

Night Light inspects the barrel. “Darn. Empty. Anymore where that came from?”

“Nope,” Big Mac replies, taking the barrel.

“Sorry. We just brought that one for Starlight,” Satsuma explains. “I don't think my dad would allow anymore until I'm old enough.”

Night Light turns to James. “You are a failure as a father.”

“Would you let Shining or Twilight drink if they were still underaged?” the other stallion counters.

“Argument withdrawn,” Night Light snorts.
--------------------------

Apple Bloom leans over the barrel of cider she just finished. Her friends and family congratulate her on finishing all of the challenges they set before her. The young mare barely acknowledges them, preferring to focus on keeping everything in her stomach.

“Way t’ go, AB,” Applejack says. “Ma and PA would be proud.”

“Really, AJ? Really?”

“Well, probably more proud of ya gettin’ married in general than o’ ya gettin’ sick stuffin’ yerself and drinkin’ yerself silly, but proud overall.”

Apple Bloom groans which slowly gets combined with a burp as some pressure is relived. Applejack covers a laugh at her sister's immodesty. Twilight trots over with a wrapped gift.

“I know it is a little early for wedding presents,” the princess says, “but maybe this will help when you return to your honeymoon.”

Apple Bloom starts opening the gift. She rolls her eyes. “Its a book.”

“Not just any book.”

Her daughter-in-law looks at the title. “Egghead’s Guide to … Ultimate Sex…” She blushes redder than her mane.

“The Revised Illustrated Edition,” Twilight adds. “It is what we used to teach Starlight when he… got curious.” She laughs nervously. “Anyway! So you have probably done a lot of the two pony things, but I did mark a few recommendations and included some notes.”

Apple Bloom opens to a random page. She instantly turns even darker red.

“Ooo! That one is fun!” Pinkie says, appearing behind the younger mare.

“If you want to try page 137, you can always ask Silver Spoon for help,” Twilight suggests. “Unless her hitting on Starlight hasn't happened in this timeline yet. I never can keep track.”

Apple Bloom turns to another page. Twilight leans over and whispers to Pinkie. They giggle and hoofbump. Applejack stares at the illustration, slowly tilting her head.

“Oh!” the older Apple declares. “I get it! … You can do that?”

“We’ll have to show you some time,” Pinkie says.

“Who’s the ‘we’ in that?” Twilight growls.

Pinkie laughs and runs off, her friend chasing her. Apple Bloom squeaks as she turns to another page.

Helios watches Starlight brush their younger brother's mane. He is about to complain, but their father joins them at the mirror to adjust his mane too. Father and sons finish at the same time, and their manes instantly pop back to normal. Helios facehoofs.

“Looking good,” Technis says after putting his sunglasses back on.

“They look exactly the same!” Helios states.

“Don't hate me because I'm pretty,” Starlight replies, posing in his dress.

“And you look ridiculous in that.”

“Just be glad he didn't make us all wear one,” Satsuma points out.

“Please. Like I'd let anypony out-pretty me on my wedding day,” Starlight huffs.

“What about your wife?” his father asks.

“I stand by my statement.”

Helios groans and finds a seat.

“Sheesh. What's up with him?” Satsuma asks. “He's been crabby the past few days.”

“He's just jealous that you're my best pony, not him,” Starlight replies.

“You'd think one of his older brothers would be a better choice,” Helios grumbles.

“I am his older brother,” Satsuma says.

“Come on, Helo. You know the score,” Starlight says. He points around the room. “It goes: Satsuma, then dad, then Technis, then Discord, then Pip, then Featherweight, then Discord, then Applejack, then Discord, then you.”

“You said Discord three times!” his brother complains.

“We're just that close,” one of three Discords replies.

Helios growls at the draconequus. There is a knock on the door.

“Five minutes!”

James starts handing out ties. “Okay, guys. Let's do this.”

Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Applejack wait in a dressing room while Babs helps her cousin finish getting prepared.

Applejack pats Sweetie on the back. “Don' worry. Maybe yer other friends will pick ya, or ya can pick Rarity fer yer weddin’.”

A crafty grin spreads across Sweetie's face. “Yes… Rarity. That's perfect revenge.”

“Uh… Sweetie Belle…”

Before Applejack can continue, the dressing room door opens. Apple Bloom poses in her dress. Applejack tears up a bit when she sees her sister.

“How do Ah look?” the bride asks.

“Wonderful,” Applejack replies, wiping away tears.

“Very nice,” Scootaloo adds.

“Why are you wearing white?” Sweetie says.

Applejack dope-slaps the younger mare. Apple Bloom sits by her sister. Babs enters and finds a seat.

“Do I really look good?” Apple Bloom worries. “The hair isn't too crazy.”

“It looks wonderful,” her sister assures. She turns to Babs. “You did great.”

Babs blows her bangs out of her eyes. “No prob. I was happy to help. AB was amazing to let me try something wild.”

“She looks the same,” Sweetie states.

“I hope Diamond will let you work on me,” Scootaloo says. “Though, I bet she'd have us kicked out if you go that wild.”

“But she looks the same.”

“If ya get married, I'm happy t’ help,” Babs replies.

“But its the same. She looks the same.”

“I really like the part with the…” Applejack makes a complicated hoof motion around her head.

“It is just her normal bow.”

“Thanks. Took a bit to get it to work,” Babs replies.

“Apple Bloom looks exactly the same!” Sweetie shouts.

Everypony stares at Sweetie Belle. The unicorn blushes and shrinks away.

“How can you say that about your best friend?” Scootaloo clucks.

“Worse, she's also insulting my hard work,” Babs huffs.

Apple Bloom just shakes her head silently. There is a knock at the door.

“We're decent,” Applejack calls.

Big McIntosh pokes his head into the room.

“Time fer us t’ head out there?” Applejack asks.

“Eeyup.”

Applejack and the rest of the bridesmaids head out to their positions. Big Mac joins his youngest sister.

“Who do I look?” Apple Bloom asks.

Big Mac takes his little sister in. He clears his throat. “Why, Apple Bloom, I do declare you are the most stunning beauty anypony can imagine,” he replies in his Orchard Blossom voice. “That nice Mister Starlight won't know what hit him when he lays eyes on you. He's the luckiest pony in Equestria to be marrying a jewel like you.”

Apple Bloom hugs her brother. “Yer the best.”

“Eeyup.”

Starlight and his groomsmen stand at attention while the bridesmaids march down the hall. Twilight stands at the altar, ready to preside. She keeps glancing at her son and trying to remain calm, cool, and collected. The bridesmaids line up across from the groomsmen, with Applejack across from her son, Scootaloo across from James, Sweetie paired with Technis, and Babs with Helios. The stallions try not to laugh since Helios bribed Discord to take his spot.

Once the bridesmaids are at their stations, Technis cues new music to be played for Apple Bloom's entrance. Big McIntosh escorts his sister down the aisle, trying not to openly weep with joy. On the groom's side, Shining Armor sheds more than enough liquid pride for everypony in attendance, causing his wife and child to pretend to ignore him. Big Mac gives Apple Bloom one more hug once they are at the altar before taking his seat. Twilight smiles at her daughter-in-law and begins the ceremony.

At the reception, Starlight and Apple Bloom sit with their new families at the main table. Their friends and slightly more distant relatives sit at the other tables filling Twilight's castle's main dining hall. Image attempts to cheer Sweetie up. Next to them, Diamond Tiara is already tipsy and trying to get under Scootaloo's dress. Silver Spoon helps the pegasus get free, having abandoned Button at their table with Daring Do. The young stallion is oblivious to Daring’s stories as he plays his hoofheld game. Lemon Sorbet smiles as she watches Del devour the extra ice cream she made for the event. Rei and Rainbow Pie snatch as many treats as they can, having roped Inkie, Presea, and Juliet to help them. Alba teases Helios about his deal with Discord, allowing Shady Daze to wander around and photograph the event. Big Mac finally gives in to his emotions and ends up crying tears of joy on his nephew's shoulder. Kiyomi snickers at her cousins.

Applejack laughs at her son and brother then turns to her sister. “How's it feel t’ be a Sparkle now?”

“Like Ah can save the world,” Apple Bloom jokes. “Seriously, it jus’ feels good knowin’ Starlight and Ah are finally t'gether.”

“Technically, didn't you get married a few days ago in Los Pegasus?” James points out.

“Oh. You're right,” his son replies. “We'll probably be coming home soon.”

“If you need to take a moment…” his mother suggests.

“Thanks, mom.” Starlight kisses his mother on the cheek. He turns to Apple Bloom. “Care to finish where we left off?”

“Of course, but this time ya are the one that has t’ go triple leftways.”

“Deal.”

Starlight teleports himself and his wife away. Applejack stares, stunned at what she heard.

“Good to know she's using that book I gave her,” Twilight says, returning to her meal.

“WE gave her,” James corrects, putting a foreleg around his wife.

“I am so getting you triple leftways when these freeloaders are gone.”

James silently hoofpumps.

“Triple… leftways?” Applejack asks nervously.

Before Twilight can explain using anatomically correct dolls, the doors to the hall open. Starlight and Apple Bloom stagger in. They greet the guests as they return to their seats. Neither are wearing their wedding dresses.

“Sorry we're late,” Starlight apologizes.

“One o’ us got stuck in the baggage compartment,” Apple Bloom explains.

“Spoiler: it wasn't the one of us who can teleport.”

Apple Bloom laughs, “Totally worth it.”

They get back to their seats and drink all of the water they can reach.

“Am Ah an aunt now?” Applejack sighs.

“Weren't tryin’ fer that,” Apple Bloom replies. “Give us some time, sis.”

Starlight leans back, stretching. “Rarity is going to be so mad when she sees what we did to the dresses she made us.”

Apple Bloom turns to her sister. “They ain't pregnant either.”

Starlight laughs and kisses his wife. “At least we didn't take five hundred years to get back, right?”

“Only a jerk would keep their family waiting that long,” she agrees.

“Good thing we raised you better than that,” James says.

“Led by proper example,” Twilight adds.

Applejack glares at her friends. She turns away and pushes her brother. “Let ‘im up. Ah think its time fer the toast from the best pony.”

Big McIntosh frees his nephew. Satsuma gets out the speech he prepared. Starlight and Apple Bloom lay back and listen while holding hooves, finally resting after a very best week.

“Who do I look?” Apple Bloom asks.

Don't worry Apple Bloom, you still look like Apple Bloom.

Nice chapter. I rather enjoyed it. The wedding didn't seem quite as fancy as a beach-side marriage. Though, with the entire family, I would guess it would be far more hectic. Until next time,

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
