Princess Celestia has sent an invitation to Twilight Sparkle and friends for a royal Canterlot wedding! While reading off the list of invitees, however, Twilight comes across a certain "Mrs. and Mrs. Dash". Turns out Rainbow Dash and Rarity are a married couple, and have been since before Twilight moved to Ponyville. Twilight never knew this. Hilarity ensues, as well as a few feels.

(AU, where RariDash are, well, married. Some canon events and scenes have been shifted accordingly, to Twilight's increasing confusion.)

This story is a sequel to Girlfriend Friend 2: Royally Screwed

After Rarity told her that they weren't actually girlfriends, Rainbow Dash is feeling kind of bummed out. And that feeling is made worse by the fact it's Hearts and Hooves Day.

Determined to not be a single loser, Rainbow sets out to get herself a Marefriend!

Easier said than done.

After hearing of Rainbow and Rarity's relationship, Twilight has some questions. She wants said questions answered by the best source possible, hence she goes to Rarity about the matter.

Sitting down at a dinner, Twilight asks these very important questions, that every friend should ask at one point. One she needed an answer for was; what comes next?

Rated T for mild mention of sex and intoxication. Sex is implied, but it is never explicitly mentioned/done on screen!

Sometimes, watching those we care about suffer can hurt more than anything.

Iron Will doesn't sit down and take pain in stride, though. He's gotta fight back. Like an angry bull. So when the ignorant jerks up at the state capitol decide to be idiots, he has to figure out a way to make things right again.

Only sometimes, there's no perfect catchphrase for the job.

Rainbow Dash is absolutely certain that she is going to hate this boring old cello concert that Rarity was dragging her too. She didn't even like classical music or sitting in one place to long. Even if it was her friends Vinyl and Octavia she just couldn't see how this could possibly interest her. She was greatly mistaken.

Based on the absolutely amazing cello skills of 2Cellos and their rendition of ACDC's thunderstruck. I've always pictured Vinyl and Octavia doing this bit in my mind so I decided to render it into written form since I don't have the animation skills to bring it to life.

Rated Teen for implied sexy times and seductive cello playing.

While Rainbow Dash helps Rarity with a gem-surveying mission, they discuss an interesting hypothetical proposed by their mutual friend, Twilight.

More character study fun. Thanks to squipy-cheetah for the cover art, which you can find at ID 2111661 on derpibooru.

Flight Camp was a life-changing event for Cloud Kicker. Her horrible fight with Rainbow Dash forever changed things between them, and drove a wedge between Cloud and Fluttershy.

But what if that had never happened? What if Cloud and Fluttershy had stayed together? How would the lives of the three friends be different? What other changes would ripple across Equestria as a result of that one event? Cloud and Fluttershy might be happily married, but how would that change the lives of their friends? Would Rainbow Dash go down a different path to joining the Wonderbolts? How would Rarity's life change if she never met Fluttershy until she moved to Canterlot?

Where would they be today if they'd traveled down the road not taken?

During a celebration for Rainbow Dash, Rarity approaches her with an offer. The two retire after the party to the Boutique for some wine, some company, and a warm fire.

A fluffly little Valentine's oneshot.

When Rainbow Dash interrupts Rarity's morning makeup routine, she learns a lesson about the importance of keeping up appearances.

Rarity and Rainbow Dash are about as in love as two ponies can be. Every once in a while, they do something utterly exciting and amazing. Between those moments, they live their lives just like any other couple does. These are some of those between times.

Basically, when a little idea for a Raridash scene comes to mind, I'll be adding to this. Updates will come whenever something comes to mind.

Rated teen for occasional saucy material. Largely inspired by a wonderful little tumblr called Raridash Doodles.
