Things got slightly different after I asked Trixie... in the first day she was like out of the world, humming and smiling all day. When I told Will and Gemmy about it both of them were happy of course, Gemmy (as usual) got in her 'high' state, speaking way too fast and breaking the rules of physics (or teleporting? I don't know, she is an unicorn afterall), and Will started to plan the bachelor party.
The next day it happened, I got wasted... luckily I did nothing against the law or anything else. But I still don't know how did Will made me chug a liter of fine vodka. Hm, dunno. Neither I know hwne and how did I get on the top of a Celestia statue, singing teh National Anthem.
And the third day... it was the day. I planned out everything before. The wedding was small, simple, with just a few guests. To be honest.. there was an accident with the cake I don't want to talk about... let's say somepony got super-high and tried to teleport herself along with the cake... I can still see my mother's face... uh...
Okay okay, I'll tell ya. Shortly: Gemmy, as I said, tried to carry the wedding cake in faster and she thought it would be easy if she teleport herself and the cake in. So, as she was 'high' and unable to shoot the range... she teleported above the table of the cake. Six meters above. I can still see... the cake falling...falling...falling... Gemmy screaming in both surprise and fear... my mom when she looked up...
Then the cake fell, right on my mom, enveloping her completly. Gemmy fell on her hooves like a cat. She thought she was lucky, but she fell on the table and it collapsed under her. Now that was funny!
Well, something to remember for a lifetime!
///The evening of the wedding...///
"...So..." I whispered to Trixie, we were in front of the new flat we got from my parents as a wedding present. "...shall we?"
Trixie blushed and nodded, answering in a whisper. "Yes, we shall..."
I took her in my forehooves, lifting her up. Then using my wings to balance, I stepped to the door, opened it somehow and closed when we were inside.
Trixie embraced me whispering in my ear. "I love you."
"I love you too, my little magician." I said and rushed in the bedroom...
She is already pregnant. But can't the good ol'e Zeph have some fun, eh?
After that night....
I woke with a satisfied smile on my face. As usual, I found Trixie on my right, hugging me while sleeping, and just being her cute self. I watched her silently, not wanting to wake her up, but I had a few important things to do later that day and I had to get myself ready. After somehow I managed to leave the bed without waking her up, I went in the bathroom, washed my face and looked in the mirror.
A young stallion's grinning face looked back, a married stallion's face, a father's face. My grin decreased to a smirk and I continued my morning routine.
Soon I was writing a note to Trixie and five minutes later I wasn't at home anymore.
Four hours later I was on my way back: the whole marriage thing is a very special ocassion even in the Royal Guard HQ, I got a whole week for the honeymoon.How, how not, I found myself facing the happily grinning Gemmy while I trotted home. She stopped me.
"Hey Zephy, what's up?" She asked cheerfully.
"Oh hey, nothing special, I'm just goin' home to my wife! Hehe, I wanted to say this in a looong time." I got a grin similar to Gemmy's.
"And what will you do then?" She was completly oblivious or just in a mood to make me angry.
"Gemmy, I think if it isn't obvious, I will have my private time." I looked in her yellow eyes, giving the 'Are you serious?' look.
"Oh. Ooooh!" She giggled. "Okay, have fun with her then, hehee~!" she said, waved a goodbye, then teleported herself away.
"Well that was weird, even from her..." I said under my breath, continuing my way back home.
At home...
"I'm home!" I shouted when I closed the door. A second later Trixie teleported herself next to me, looking worried.
"Why did you live me like this?" She asked. Her mane was in a cute bun, making her look...
*POMF!*
"Gosh darn it..." I folded my wings back. "Sorry love, I had to tell the situation to the HQ. But we have a whole free week!"
She smiled. "Well, that's good afterall. But don't go away like this ever again, okay?"
"Yes yes, I promise." I smiled reassuringly.
"Now come, I'm sure you must be hungry! The Great and Powerful Trixie made you the perfect breakfast!" She said and stood on her hindlegs, like there were fireworks behind her.
"Honey... it's almost noon. And you spoke in third pony again!" I gave her a quick kiss and walked in the kitchen, checking what she made.
"Oh. Sorry about that. And noon, really?"
"Yup! But thank you anyway."
What I saw made me drop my jaw. The whole kitchen was a mess, used dishes, bowls, EVERYTHING in everywhere. And on the table, there was a stack of pancakes, topped with maple syrup.
"Oh you like it!" She said, not really getting my shocked expression.
"Yeah... it's perfect..." I said and my brain already started to beg me to NOT do the dishes. "Though somepony will have to wash all of this.." I pointed at the mess what was previously my kitchen.
"Well..." Trixie took a look around and made a slightly shocked expression. "...it's your luck I'm proficient in the sophisticated magic. Just watch!" Her horn glowed up and a magical aura enveloped all the used dishes. Then, with a flash, everything went off of them, leaving them completly clean.
"Whoah, neat..." I said, almost in awe. I didn't see Trixie doing magic, only the basic levitation or teleportation.
"I told you." She sent the dishes back in their respective places. "The benefits of being an unicorn!"
Using my wings I pulled her closer and kissed her. "The benefits of being a pegasi..." I said and smirked.
And this was how my new life started with my wife.
///A few weeks later...///
In the past weeks a lot of things happened. Trixie got a temporary job as a waitress in a restaurant, she did it not because of the payment, but because to get used to the settled down life and the communication with ohter ponies.
I, of course, continued my duty after the week long honeymoon. Thanks to my nonexistant luck, a giant chicken attacked
Ponyville when I was still on my honeymoon, so it didn't ate me, like some other members of the Royal Guards. Above that nothing really special happened, though I heard more rumors of weird things happening 'round Equestria, always being in connection with the new Night Guards, but this had no active effect on me.
The days went on, duty was simple and boring, nothing happened.
But then... in that night... everything changed.
It was just a regular patrol. Nothing serious. My squad and me with a temporary help in the form of another guard.
It should've been nothing... I could've seen it.... but no.
In that night, I lost my squad. Everypony died.
Almost me too.
After barely surviving the incident, I recovered myself at home in Canterlot, with Trixie. She nursed me, more worried than ever before.
Luckily (and thanks to her healing abilites) I recovered pretty fast, but my career as a Royal Guard was over.
I lost one of my best friends, Gemmy died.
The letter they sent was short and not explaining anything. Later I got the info from Will (who fell in a depression because of these.. events..), they sent me retired because of the emotional shock I got.
But I really didn't care, I wanted to leave all of this buck, it was enough for a lifetime.
Weeks passed again. The severance payment they gave me was more than enough to live, I didn't wanted to work anyway.
I decided, it would be the best if we leave Canterlot and move to a smaller village.
Ponyville.
Of course Trixie didn't like the idea at all, but I managed to convince her. Soon, we will be on our way to that town, bringing everything we have (what is honestly not much).
A good, peaceful life without getting stabbed or shot by an arrow. Yes.
What could happen?..
