"Sky!" Vapor called out. "SKY!"
But Sky was nowhere to be seen. Had he fallen in the line of duty whilst trying to stop the Merchant? It certainly seemed that way. Vapor looked to the ground, when suddenly a rumbling and whooshing sound drew her attention. In front of her, the smoke cleared, and before her stood Sky, as if he was in the middle of a dramatic scene from a movie. The smoke cleared totally, and there was very little to be seen of anything. Vapor's jaw dropped in amazement.
"You did it!" she cried, racing forward and throwing her forelegs around Sky's neck. "We stopped the Merchant!"
More parts began to fall from the sky, and Sky indicated to them. "Yeah," he said, "but that's busted the return portal. The machines are gone." He looked almost sad as he continued. Almost being the key word here. "They were the only link to our old life. It's gone forever, and we can never go back."
"But at least we have each other," Vapor smiled, and she pulled back. "And before you ask, I forgive you for what you said to me that day. Man, that info dump must have been nasty!"
Sky laughed too. "You're asking me!" But in a moment, he had produced the very same ring that he had used when he proposed to her all those weeks ago. "Vapor, I know I've already asked this, but will you marry me?"
Vapor's reaction left Sky in absolutely no doubt whatsoever.
The second attempt at the wedding, with generous contributions from the princesses, went perfectly and somehow managed to be even more impressive than the first. Nothing went wrong in the slightest. Not even the cake cutting, which is often the production of quite a mess.
Then came the time for Vapor Trail and Sky Stinger to take their first dance as husband and wife. Vapor indicated to the DJ, and an old, familiar tune began to play as Vapor opened her mouth to sing.
"I really wanna stop, but I just got the taste for it,
I feel like I could fly with the colt on the moon:
So honey, hold my hoof, you like making me wait for it:
I feel like I could die walking up to the room, oh yeah!"
Sky instantly knew what the song was, and nodded in approval. Carly Rae Jepsen was a perfect choice, and when they hit the chorus, they joined in together;
"I really, really, really, really, really, really like you!"
A few months after that, Vapor felt a little off, and so consulted with her doctor as to her situation. When she learned she was pregnant, she was ecstatic, as was Sky when he learned he was going to be a father. At last, the tragedy that had rung through the start of their married life was over, and they could start anew and go forth with their new lives.
