Soarin and Rainbow Dash are about to be married. Princess Celestia is officiating at their wedding, and in honour of a heroic act on their part, she has an extra special gift in store for them...

This was requested of me by chazkopa, and is based on the comics drawn for him by 13mcjunkinm of DeviantArt. Separate links are provided for the wedding itself in two separate parts, the carriage ride and the arrival at the hotel.

Although this story is officially marked as complete, Chaz asked me to make this into an anthology, so I'll be adding new short stories to this as and when they are requested.

This fic is set between S1 E16 "Sonic Rainboom" and S2 E04 "Luna Eclipsed".

Celestia has a dark secret and needs the help of the best flier in Equestria to help end her torment.

As they start to open up and share their personal secrets, they both come to realise they have something else in common - their need for each other.

Are the rumours right - will there be a Royal Wedding?

This can be read as a stand-alone story or continued to its sequel Leaving the Rainbow to Fade.

Princess Celestia huffed as she flew as fast as she could to the meeting place, located in Cloudsdale, a little ways above and near Ponyville. She held the bundle she was carrying with extreme caution with a face of desperation, determined to get it there on time.

Her small alicorn form landed on the nearest cloud before looking behind her, seeing a small rainbow light coming right behind her, following her trail.

"Shoot," she muttered before running forward again. She huffed loudly as she ran through the dark streets of the mobile city made of condensed water vapor that will never fall. The princess of the Sun looked down at the bundle in her right hoof as it began to move before looking back up again.

Soon, after mixing her trail, she arrived at the meeting place, where two ponies, a stallion and a mare, were waiting patiently.

"She is on my trail," Princess Celestia huffed as she came to a stop in front of them. "You know what you must do." The stallion nodded quickly before she continued. "Same hair color. Make it work for as long as you can, no matter what."

"Of course," he said desperately.

"All you have to do is make sure she is happy," the princess told the mare. "Make sure she lives her life and suspects nothing. I will return when she is ready for the truth of her origin and purpose."

"Yes, your highness," the mare responded. Celestia nodded before hearing the faint roar of her pursuer coming closer. She looked back down and lifted the covers to reveal a small foal asleep, snuggled against the softness of the blanket. She smiled as a tear escaped her eye before she leaned down and kissed the foals forehead, nuzzling her rainbow colored mane.

"I will return, my daughter. My Rainbow Dash."

(Currently in the midst of starting off the series. If I work hard enough, the story will be finished as early as by the end of next month!)

It's another Christmas but one Rainbow is sure to enjoy as her uncle, aunt, and baby cousin Sunshine Heart are in town. Rainbow, her mother, and father are glad to have them spending Christmas with them. Cheerilee and her little sister Scootaloo are also spending Christmas with the Dash Family. Rainbow's stallionfriend, Soaren, is also spending Christmas with them.

A long time ago they were four warriors that fought off evil with the power of the elements of nature. They fought Erebus and two sacrificed their lives to save Equestria.

A thousand years later Erebus returns and has his eyes on the elements of harmony and their bearers.

So Aura, Gaea, Amphitrite and Hestia hand their powers down to the young pegasus mare Rainbow Dash and she will become Iris, spirit of the elements of nature.

But with having to deal with being the new wonderbolt, a curious alicorn close to revealing her identity, three noisy fillies almost getting killed, lying to friends, having a crush on a certain wonderbolt and being Equestria's new hero it ain't going to be easy.

(TAKES PLACE RIGHT AFTER THE EPISODE A CANTERLOT WEDDING Season 2 Episode 25/26)

This story has a sequel called Rainbows and jealousy.

Pinkie Pie invites everypony in Ponyville to her wedding, and with Princess Celestia as the SDIG (Super Duper Important Guest). Including Rainbow Dash, of course. She doesn't mind to go until she hears Pinkie Pie set up the rules.

One, any pony who attends Pinkie's wedding would have to bring a partner of the opposite gender with them. Two, the lucky mare who gets the bunch of flowers at the end of the wedding must come up on stage to kiss their partner.

Rainbow Dash isn't really comfortable with both rules. First, she doesn't have a partner. Second, she doesn't want to catch the flowers.

Given that Pinkie's wedding is in one month, Rainbow only has one month's time to find a partner...and a dress for the wedding.
