Church bells rang as the new bride and groom left the chapel along with their guests. Bits of confetti flew in the air as the group gathered round for a photo. Photo Finish stood in front saying how beautiful the shot was.
Rumble turned towards Button Mash as they walked away from the crowd.
“Well I finally did it!” He said bumping his friend on the shoulder.
“Oh come on, we all knew it was going to happen, you and Scootaloo have been inseparable since you met in Doctor Whooves’ refresher classes.”
“Well to tell you the truth Button, she was the only reason I went in the first place.” Rumble said chuckling.
Suddenly a high pitched squeal came from behind as the bride announced she was going to throw her bouquet. All the mares held their hooves in the air as the bride turned and threw the flowers behind. The flowers soared through the air before landing in Sweetie Belle's hooves.
“I got it! I got it!” She cheered holding the flowers jumping up and down. Rumble watched with an amused smile on his face.
“hey, hey, looks like it could be your turn next.” He said chuckling. Button looked down nervously.
“Yeah.. hehe, who knows, it could be.” Rumble turned as a car pulled up beside with the words ‘WAIT TILL TONITE’ painted along the side in white. Button raised a fore hoof underneath his muzzle in thought as Rumble got into the car. The car pulled away with the crowd following behind cheering. Button waved as it drove off.
“Oh Button wasn’t it wonderful? Didn’t the bride look radiantly beautiful? Oh I can’t believe an hour ago she was just plain old Scootaloo but now… Now she’s a happily married pegasus.” Cadence said.
The two proceeded to walk through the neighboring cemetery, “Yes Sweetie Belle, Rumble’s a lucky guy.”
“Yes.”
“And everyone else knows that Rumble is a wonderful little cook.”
“Yes.”
“Why, I bet Rumble will be running a restaurant himself pretty soon.”
“Yes.”
While they were walking something came to his mind, a thought that had been made through his chat with Rumble. And decided "now's the time."
https://m."Hey, Sweetie Belle."
Sweetie turned to him, "Yes Button?"
Button knew there was no turning back now "I really love the skillful way, you beat the other girls to the bride's bouquet."
Sweetie Belle giggled sweetly at this, but it was clear he wasn't finished. nearby Maud and Mudbriar watched with their signature unamused looks on their faces.
The river was deep but I swam it (Janet)
The future is ours so let's plan it (Janet)
So please don't tell me to can it (Janet)
I've one thing to say and that's
Dammit, Janet, I love you
Sweetie Belle was honestly feeling giddy about this. She had no idea why he was singing, but she brushed it off, since it was a common thing in their hometown.
The road was long but I ran it (Janet)
There's a fire in my heart and you fan it (Janet)
If there's one fool for you then I am it (Janet)
I've one thing to say and that's
Dammit, Janet, I love you
Button knelt down and pulled out something that made her gasp.
Here's a ring to prove that I'm no joker
There's three ways that love can grow
That's good, bad or mediocre
Oh J-A-N-E-T I love you so
Sweetie Belle was so happy about this, she found herself singing along.
Oh, it's nicer than Betty Munroe had (oh Brad)
Now we're engaged and I'm so glad (oh Brad)
That you've met mum and you know dad (oh Brad)
I've one thing to say and that's
Brad I'm mad for you too
Now it was Button's turn to be happy, he was about to be married to the one girl he loved since he met her.
Oh, Brad
Oh, dammit
I'm mad
Oh, Janet
For you
I love you too
The two made their way to Button's minivan, after all...
There's one thing left to do
and that's go see the man who began it (Janet)
When we met in his science exam-it (Janet)
Made me give you the eye and then panic (Janet)
Now I've one thing to say and that's
Dammit, Janet, I love you
They got in and drove off, eager to meet their old friend before they can tie the knot.
Dammit, Janet
Oh Brad, I'm mad
Dammit Janet
I love you
Shining Armor was in what appears to be his office, looking at the wedding’s group photo. He suddenly looks up and says “I would like, if I may… To take you on a strange journey.”
He gets to his hooves before walking over to a tall bookshelf and pulling out a black leather tome with gold embroidery. He opens it, then starts leafing through the pages before reaching one with Button's face on it. On the opposite page was a yellow document with the word ‘STATEMENT’ written at the top. a similar set of pages was one the other side but with a picture of Sweetie Belle.
“It seemed a very ordinary night when Button Mash and his fiancée Sweetie Belle, two young ordinary healthy ponies, left Ponyville one late November evening, to visit a Derpy and Doctor Whooves ex tutors, now friends to the both of them.” He finishes turning the page showing another picture of a brown earth pony and a gray cross-eyed pegasus and outside of what appeared to be a blue police box.
“It’s true there were dark storm clouds… Heavy, black and perilous toward which they were traveling. It’s true also that the spare wheel for their minivan was badly in need of repair. But them being normal kids, and on a night out… Well, they weren’t going to let a storm spoil the events of their evening. It was a night out."
His face suddenly turn into that of seriousness.
"It was a night they were going to remember for a very Long Time."
