//------------------------------// // Chapter 34 - The End // Story: The Sun of My Heart 2: Love's Flames // by BlueSun52 //------------------------------// … Our Love is Forever! The sun was high up in the air on a cloudless, beautiful day of July. At a large church building, many people were coming in on a Sunday for the wedding of both Soul Writer and Sunset Shimmer. Sunset was in a room where she was getting sit for her wedding. She sat down while her mother and Dawn were fixing her hair up. “Are you sure you know what you’re doing?” Dawn asked Sunrise. “Of course I do! What kind of mother would I be if I didn’t know how to braid my own daughter’s hair?” Sunrise retorted. “The kind that’s from another world and is messing her daughter’s hair up with knots,” Dawn countered as she points to Sunset’s hair. Sunrise looked to see that she had made several small knots in Sunset’s hair. Sunset looked toward the side her mother did and grimace at the site. “Umm… Mom? Maybe you should let Dawn do my hair for the wedding,” Sunset suggested. Sunrise crossed her arms and pouted. “I knew I should have learned hairstyles with these hands,” she said. Sunset laughed. “It’s okay, mom. I really appreciate what you were trying to do,” she said. Sunrise smiled and hugged her daughter. “I’m so happy for you. My little girl is all grown up and she’s getting married to a loving and faithful young man,” she said. “I can just tell that you’re going to be happy with Soul.” Sunset smiled warmly as she hugged her mother back. After a few moments, there was a few knocks on the door and Twilight came into the room. “Sunset, are you ready? Everything is about to start soon,” Twilight said. “We just need to get my hair ready and I’ll be all set,” Sunset replied. Twilight looked at the hair and cringed at one side of her hair. “Oh uuh, yeah. You got time to get that fix,” she said. “I’ll come back and let you know that we’re ready to start.” “Thank you, Twilight,” Sunset said. At the cathedral, Soul stood by the preacher with his groomsmen. Swift stood beside Soul while Zero, Rivet, Clyde, Night, Treble, Straight, Warhawk and even Zephyr all stood on the side in a row. Soul was beginning to feel nervous from waiting and being in the spotlight with so many people looking at him. He tried to loosen his bow as it felt like it was getting tighter. Swift looked over to Soul and patted him on the shoulder. *Hey, are you alright?” he asked. “Yeah, I’m alright. Just getting a little nervous is all,” Soul replied. “Yeah, I know what you mean. I was super nervous at my wedding with Pinkie,” Swift said. “I’m happy you were able to come to that, pal.” “It was no problem, Swift. I just wish I was able to come to Clyde’s wedding but I just couldn’t make time after getting so much projects to take care of at the university,” Soul explained. “Those guys are very demanding on everything.” “Well you did send those flowers and Sunset did give them your best wishes,” Swift said. “That’s true. Anyways, I’m glad that you became my best man after choosing you,” Soul said. “Choosing me? You made everyone in our group fight for-” “Yeaaaaah, choosing you,” Soul said. Swift’s eyes were half-lid before he sighed and smiled. “It’s been a long time coming,” he said. “It sure has been,” Soul agreed. “And it’s going to so much more of it after today.” “Okay, I’m going to be the one to say this,” Treble said. “But what the hell has Zephyr been doing for the past few years? I haven’t even heard anything from the guy!” Everyone in the group looked at Treble for a moment before they raised their brows and looked at Zephyr. “Yeah, I’m actually curious about that as well,” Zero said. “What did you do for the last few years?” Just as Zephyr was about to answer them, the music started playing and the door on the far side opened. Dawn and Sunrise snuck into the room as they sat besides their husbands and Dawn winked at her son. Soul smiled and looked at the opened door to see each of his and Sunset’s friends walking out in beautiful dresses. The girls stood by the right side of the altar with bright smiles in a row. There was Twilight, Princess Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Sonata, Rainbow Dash and Vinyl. Applejack was second in the row before she smiled at Soul and gave him a simple nod as tears developed on her eyes. Soul smiled warmly at her before he looked over to the center door. Coming down the aisle was a little girl that had long black hair and a cute little dress as she walked with a flower basket. She threw rose petals on the ground heading towards the altar. Dawn smiled as the girl was about to be near her and tried to grab her to place on her lap. But the girl kept on going down until she was walking up the stairs and she hugged around Soul’s leg. “Ba ba!” the little girl said. The crowd laughed and aww at the little girl before Soul smiled back at his little sister, Novel and picked her up. “Oh, you’re such a cute little flower girl!” he kisses on Novel’s cheek and rubbed his cheek with hers. “Okay, you need to go over to mommy and daddy. Can you do that, sissy?” “Okay, ba ba! Love ya, goodbye!” Novel said before she ran over back to Dawn and Comet. She got up to Dawn and sat on her lap, Soul chuckled before the pianist began to play a peaceful and serene music. The guests stood up and looked down at the end of the aisle to see Sunset starting to walk down on it. Soul held his breath as he looked at Sunset in her dress. Walking beside Sunset was her father, Midnight as the two walked down the aisle arm-in-arm. Soul’s eyes started to tear up when Sunset was halfway down the aisle. His emotions acted out of control as he couldn’t feel nothing but happiness of seeing the woman that not only became his closest friend but to willingly love him enough to be with him on this day. One thing that stood out most on her dress was the pendant that he had given her since their first time going to the Fall Formal together. The pendant matched Sunset’s outfit very nicely causing Soul to have streams of tears run down his cheeks. Sunset and Midnight soon walked up to the altar and stood next to Soul. Midnight held his hand out before shaking hands with Soul showing him approval. Midnight looked to his daughter and lifted her veil up and smiled at her while she smiled back. Midnight kissed Sunset on her forehead before walking away leaving the two with the preacher. Sunset smiled with tears in her eyes before she wiped away some of the tears from Soul’s eyes. Soul tried to get himself back together before he smiled happily and held her hand. Soul and Sunset looked at the preacher with the happiest smiles. The guests sat back down on their seats before the preacher held his hand up. “Dearly beloved! We are here today to celebrate the unification between Soul Writer and Sunset Shimmer…” As the preacher went on with his speech, Soul looked over to Sunset seeing her up close in her beautiful dress and smiling happily. He tighten his grip on her hand which cause Sunset to tighten her grip as well and looked at Soul with a warm smile. Soul leaned over to Sunset and whispered. “You look beautiful, Sunny.” he said. Sunset smiled happily. “Thank you,” she whispered back. “You look very handsome, honey.” “Heh, I do what I can for you,” Soul said as he lovingly gazed into her eyes. Sunset gazed back at Soul not wanting to part away from his gaze. As the two were gazing deeply with each other, the preacher was at the end of his speech and looked to Soul and Sunset. “And now, we turn our attention to the groom and bride,” the preacher said before he looked to Soul. “Soul Writer, do you take Ms. Shimmer to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and health, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto her for as you both shall live?” Soul smiled happily as he kept gazing into Sunset’s eyes. “I do. I really do!” Soul replied excitedly. The preacher smiled before he looked to Sunset as tears were streaming down her tears. “Sunset Shimmer, do you take Mr. Writer to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and health, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as you both shall live?” Sunset happily gazed at Soul having tears in her eyes. She choked on her words for a moment before she was able to speak clearly. “I absolutely do,” Sunset replied. The preacher nodded happily before she spoke. “As we soon will begin the exchange of rings, both the bride and groom shall exchange vows to one another at this moment.” Soul and Sunset looked to see Apple Bloom holding two ring bands on a velvet pillow. One ring was made out of silver with the name Soul’s name on it while the other ring was gold with Sunset’s name on it. Apple Bloom stood next to the preacher and smiled at the happy couple. The two gazed into each other once more before Soul spoke up. “Sunset… There are just no words that can describe how beautiful you are. And there is nothing that I can do to express how much I love you. The closest I could ever get is sliding a ring on your finger and say I love you everyday until I can’t speak anymore. I am going to cherish you everyday as I love, honor and comfort you on either good days or bad. I’ll always tend to you when you feel ill and stay by your side when you are well…” Soul choked up for a moment and he wiped his tears. “You were the first friend I made when I went to Canterlot High. At first I never thought I would fall in love with the same girl that simply volunteered to show anyone around the school as she had became a wonderful person. I have heard what you were like before we met and you weren’t the woman I love today… But that didn’t stop me from knowing you and later, loving you.” “We both had our ups and downs before this day… You were sad when you weren’t able to face up to your parents after all the wrong that you did and that I had to go through some troubling times with myself after leaving my home. But I worked hard and helped you get back together with both you wonderful parents who I have come to care for like I do for my parents and you comfort me when I was feeling confused and sad about leaving my parents. I vow to be the husband you want everyday and whatever fights we have, we’ll see it through until the very end. I love you dearly with all my heart and soul.” Sunset smiled happily as her lips quivered. She took a few moments to calm herself down and Soul pulled a handkerchief for her and she uses it to wiped the tears away. She took a deep breath and started her vows. “Soul… I accept you as my husband not just as a lover and partner but as my dear and closest friend. I love you so much, you make chest burn with so many emotions that make feel so lucky to have you. As your wife, I will help you in your endeavors and comfort you when you need it. When you fall ill, I will be there to raise you back to full health. When you laugh, I will laugh with you and if you cry, I will cry with you. I will always to honest and open with you as I cherish you everyday that we’re married.” “If you have asked me before I had changed, I wouldn’t have been interested in going out with someone like you, Soul. Because the other me wouldn’t have realized how much joy you would have given me. If you have asked me after I changed and before the Battle of the Bands, I would have felt unworthy of love and admiration and could have missed a chance to be with you… I am so happy that I met you at the right time and I have the chance to spend the rest of my life with the man I love.” “My dear precious, Soul… I am happy to have you in my life and that you filled my life with more joy than I never thought I could have. And when things were at its worst, you were there to comfort me and hold me in your arms making me feel safe and secure. I vow to stay with you, cherish you, love you and grow old with you until the day we part from this world and into the next.” Both Sunset and Soul were both crying trying their best to keep their posture. Most of the guests were also crying as well especially Dawn and Sunlight as their eyes balled with tears. The girls and boys on the side of the altar were crying heavily for them and Pinkie fell on her knees and streams of tears came out of her eyes as she cried loudly. “I’M SO HAPPY FOR THEM!” Pinkie yelled as she kept crying. Soul and Sunset collected themselves together and soon picked up their partners’s rings. Soul held Sunset’s hand before he slid her ring on her ring finger and smiled happily with tears still in his eyes. “I, Soul Writer, give to you, Sunset Shimmer, this ring, as a commitment to love, honor and respect you. With this ring, I wed thee.” Sunset sniffed and smiled happily before she slid Soul’s ring on to his ring finger and gazed up to him. “I, Sunset Shimmer, give to you, this ring, as a commitment to love, honor and respect you. With this ring, I wed thee.” Soul and Sunset held each other's hands and smiled happily to one another while their eyes locked with one another. The preacher smiled and raised his hands up. “By the power invested in me by the Lord, I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may now kiss the bride.” Soul wrapped his arms around Sunset and pulled her close to him. Sunset wrapped her arms around Soul’s neck as she gazed up to him and smiled brightly. Soul leans down and put his forehead against Sunset’s before he closes the gap between them kissing her on the lips deeply. The guests stood up and applaud for the newly wed couple while others were still crying from joy like Dawn and Sunlight. The boys and girls at the altar applauded and Pinkie was able to pull herself together and clapped…. With help from Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash keeping her up. As soon as their lips parted, Soul picks up Sunset bridal style before he walked down the aisle with her and made their way towards the limousine. As they made their way out of the church, Comet picked up Novel and helped Dawn get up along with Sunset’s parents before heading outside. Soul and Sunset’s friends quickly rushed outside and waved at them as the two entered into their ride. “Good luck you two! We’ll see you at the- WAIT!” Pinkie shouted. “What about the bouquet!? Sunset, you have to throw the bouquet so I can get married!” Swift expressed a confused look. “Pinkie, you’re already married to me,” he pointed out. “Shhhh! I want to have another bouquet!” Pinkie retorted. Swift’s eyes were half-lid and let out sigh before he smiled. The ride’s window went down before Sunset poked out of it and threw the bouquet out towards a crowd of girls. Pinkie was pushing girls out of the way and just as the bouquet was about to hit her, Applejack bumped her out of the way and catched the the flowers. Pinkie fell on the ground and looked back at Applejack with a shock expression. “What the fudge, Applejack!?” she shouted. “I thought we were friends!” “Sorry Pinkie, family before friends,” Applejack said before she knelt down and gave the flowers to Novel. “Thanks, cuzzing Apple Jackie!” Novel said before she hugged Applejack. “Oh, it’s nothing, sugarcube,” Applejack said. “Awwwwwwwwwwe, that was so worth being pushed over by your friends,” Pinkie said. “.... Owie.” The limousine drove off with the happy couple and everyone was waving goodbye to them until the next event of the wedding. Soul and Sunset sat beside each other very intimately as Soul kissed Sunset passionately. Soon the two part kisses and Sunset coed under Soul’s neck. “We did it… We’re married,” Sunset said. “We’re finally married.” “We sure are, honey… We sure are,” Soul said as he held Sunset close and gave her a kiss on the lips. “We have a few hours before the reception, wanna… have a little fun in our hotel room~?” Sunset’s eyes turn sultry and she licks her lips. “Oooh, I do~” Soul kisses Sunset as he soon was on top of her in the back of the limo. The driver looked at the rear view mirror and pressed a button as the window rolled up. “Every time,” the driver said. “Why does this happen every time?” Soul kisses Sunset deeply for a moment before he pulls away. “Oh, one more thing I should probably tell you,” Soul said. “Pinkie added a roast to our reception.” “Oh? Well, that’s not so bad,” Sunset commented. “... Treble is hosting it.” “.... Oh f*ck.” Sometime had past and Soul, Sunset and all of their guests, family and friends were at the reception. After suffering through Treble’s roast, the two newly weds sat at the table enjoying their served meals with everyone. The servings were portions of steak, chicken, turkey and ham that were enough to please everyone in the room. As many of the guests were still eating or finishing up their drinks, Soul tapped his wine glass to get everyone’s attention. He held a microphone up and smiled at everyone. “Hello Everyone, I just wanted to say thank you all for coming for me and my lovely Sunny’s wedding,” Soul said. There was clapping and cheering from the crowd of guests before they continued to listen to Soul. “It’s been a long time coming for me and for my new wife. We’ve shared a lot of adventures together and spent so much time together. But right now, this toast isn’t just for me and her. This is also for the people we love and care about for they had also been part of lives. To the friends we’re always cared for thank you for helping us through our hard times and being there when we needed it. For sharing moments with us that we would all remember for the rest of our lives and hope that our children become good friends with all of you as well.” “WE HOPE SO TOO! WHAAAAAA!” Pinkie was crying over at her table with Swift their friends. Swift patted her back as he smiled and looking at Soul to continue his speech. Soul chuckled for a moment before speaking some more. “And I want to thank my family. For giving me wonderful love, advice and support from the day of my birth all the way to now. I know in my heart that you all would continue to do so for me like I would for you. I love you all so much and I would be happy to one day add more members of the family with my Sunny.” “Ya better! Ah want to see my great grandkids before Ah kick the bucket!” Granny Smith yelled from her table. Everyone bursted out laughing while Soul held his stomach laughing. Sunset covered her mouth as she tried to keep herself contained but failed as she laughed. After a moment, everyone collected themselves and waited for Soul. “Hehehe, so to finish this off, I will simply say, thank you. Thank you for everything you all have done for us. I hope not just the beginning of our marriage but that our friendships and families continue to be together and will always be there for us and us for them. Thank you and let’s continue to have a wonderful time here.” The second Soul was finished, everyone stood up and clapped loudly for his speech. Sunset walked up to Soul and soon pressed her lips on his making the crowd cheer and clap even harder for them. After wiping her tears, Pinkie stood up with a bright smile and raised her arms up high. “Let’s party!” she yelled. Everyone let out a cheer before the tables and chairs were being moved away from the center of the room. Soon many guests along with Soul and Sunset gathered around on the newly made dance floor before Vinly was up in a setup DJ and started playing loud upbeat music. The second the music played, everyone started dancing to it and were enjoying a wonderful and fun time together. As the dance went on, Pinkie was drinking some of the complementary wine being served. Unfortunately for Swift, she had almost drank most of the bottle and was beginning to feel tipsy. “Oooooh, boy! This stuff is- *Hic!* awesome!” Pinkie said as her eyes were half-lid and she wobbled a bit. “Sweetie, you know what’ll be really fun~? If I dance around in the nude!” Swift shakes his head. “Pinkie, I don’t think that would be such a g- Dear god! Pinkie, put your shirt back on! There’s kids here!” Pinkie ran around with only her panty and bra on as Swift went after her with her clothes in his arms. Either everyone was laughing at Swift’s misfortune or looked away from Pinkie with a blush on their cheeks. Soul and Sunset laughed together at Pinkie’s silly antics before they went back to dance with each other. They leaned towards one another before giving the other their lips in a tender display of love and affection for each other. Soul and Sunset were back in their hotel room enjoying the honeymoon sweet. The two were under the covers as Soul was on top of Sunset kissing on her neck tenderly. Sunset moaned as she held Soul close to her. Soul keeps kissing Sunset before he parts away from her lips and gazed into her eyes while smiling. “You’re a wonderful and beautiful woman to be with, Sunset. I can’t wait to see what the rest of our lives are going to be like,” Soul said. Sunset smiled. “Me too, Soul,” she said before she gave Soul a sultry look. She spreads her legs apart under the covers and rubs his back. “Now ravage me like you always do~” “My pleasure~” Soul said before he kisses Sunset deeply as all the memories of her and him together came flooding his mind. Soul smiled happily remembering everything he and Sunset did and got involved in during their time at CHS. His heart burned with love while holding the woman of his life hands with his own. Sunset’s mind was going back to the times she had spent with Soul and how gratefully happy to have him. She remembers all of good times with him and how he was there for her during the bad times. Sunset tighten her grip on Soul’s hands as she felt a wave of blissful pleasure throughout her body. The two spent a long and wonderful night together knowing that they will spend the rest of their lives as both husband and wife. And that the end of their wedding was just the beginning of a new adventure together through life. -Years Later- In a suburban neighbor, a moving truck was in front of a large two story house as the movers were taking several furniture inside. A car drove up and parked in in the driveway before the doors opened. Steppin out, Soul got out and smiled brightly as he looked at the house. “Well everyone, here is our new home!” he said. Sunset climbed out and giggled. “It sure is very large, Soul. I’m so happy that we were able to get this for our own home,” she said. “Blaze, Sunday come out and take a look!” On cue, a boy and a little girl came out of the car on different sides. The boy had a 3DS ins his hand before he looked up. He had white hair with yellow highlights while having pale orange skin and teal eyes just like his mother’s. The little girl was holding on to a small pony doll and a pacifier in her mouth. She had long white hair with yellow streaks in it while having pale skin and light blue eyes. “Wow, this place looks cool!” Blaze said. “Hey dad, think it’ll have a room big enough room for all of our Star Wars stuff?” Soul chuckled before he rubbed on Blaze’s head. “Yes it will, weasel. It’s one of the reason why your mom and I got it.” Sunset rolled her eyes and smiled. She knelt down to her daughter and held her close. “What do you think, sweetie?” she asked. Sunday pulled the pacifier out of her mouth and smiled brightly. “It’s really big, mommy!” she said. “Ah can’t wait to ask Seryn, Rhoda and Star over for a sleepover here!” “And I’m sure they will love it! But we need to get our things in and settle down for a while, okay?” Sunset asked. “Okay, mommy!” Sunday said before she puckered her lips. Sunset smiled and kissed Sunday. “Now you can head on inside and check out everything while your dad and I get our bags and boxes inside,” she said. Sunday smiled before she excitedly hurried inside. However she fell on the ground face first. Sunset was about to go check if she was okay but Sunday quickly got up and rubbed her face before heading on inside. Sunset let out a relieved sigh before she went to the back of the car and started picking up some of the bags. “Alright, weasel. Go pick up your bag and I’ll show you the room I picked out for you after I help your mom,” Soul said. “Okay, dad!” Blaze put away his game before he ran up behind the car and picked up his bag. He headed off inside the house leaving Soul and Sunset to themselves. Soul walked around to the back of the car and gives Sunset a kiss on the lips. He smiled as he held the side of her cheek. “Ready to start a new beginning for our family here?” Soul asked. “I think we’re going to be living here for a very long time.” Sunset smiled back warmly and she hugged Soul. “I think so too, sweetie,” she said. She wrapped her arm around Soul and the two looked at the house together. She felt so much joy and happiness seeing that her family, the one Soul and her started now have a house of their own. “I can’t believe this is really happening… To think that all this started with just a simple tour.” “Maybe. But one thing is for sure, is that I am happy that we met on that day and how beautiful our friendship became,” Soul said. He looked over to Sunset and gazed into her ever loving eyes. She looked back at him with her ever beautiful smile. The two kissed and they soon picked up the bags and boxes before heading inside the house. As they walked towards the house, Soul was behind Sunset as he watched her walk towards the house. He stopped for a moment before looking at the home where his wife and children will be living for the longest time. He smiled happily knowing that his children would be happy here and that he will continue to wake up every morning with the beautiful woman that he first met in highschool. He looked down to see Sunset looking and smiling at him. Soul smiled at her and whispered to himself. “She’s the Sun of My Heart.” THE END
