At the castle we see everyone enjoying a nice dinner that Mrs. Potts, Lumière, and Cogsworth prepared. They all were enjoying the feast til Thorax had an announcement to make.
"Attention everyone. Me and Twilight have an announcement to make." Thorax started.
Everyone stopped eating and looked at the two of them. Twilight was nervous but Thorax reminded her that everything is okay.
"Ok. Everyone. You all know that me and Thorax have been dating for a long time now." Twilight said.
"Of course dear. Thorax is a very nice king to date." Belle responded.
"Yes. So during our reconnection I decided to ask Twilight something very special." Thorax told everyone and took a deep breath. "I've asked Twilight her hand in marriage!!"
Everyone gasped in excitement and then they all clapped in happiness hearing that.
"Oh darling! That's the best news I've heard!!" Rarity squealed.
"I knew one day she be a queen! And now that wish is coming true for my little girl!" Adam replied.
"That's great brother! In fact I got some news too. Hey Cadence!" Pharynx shouted.
"Yes sweetie?" Cadence asked.
"While I was falling head over heels for you I wanted to let you know that I was thinking the same thing too." Pharynx answered.
"Wait what?" Cadence said surprise.
"Yeah. So I want to ask you this question for a while." Pharynx said getting on one knee and relieved a beautiful ring with emeralds on it. Cadence gasped. "Cadence? Will you marry me?"
"I--I YES I WILL MARRY YOU!!" Cadence cried running to him and hugging Pharynx.
"Oh my goodness! A double wedding? That's awesome!" Belle said in excitement.
Everyone cheered for the new couples soon to be. But suddenly Spike felt something itchy on his cheek. Then he saw a stone scale on him and started getting worried. Smolder and Garble saw that and were wondering what's wrong.
"Spike? You feeling okay?" Garble asked.
"Um can I see you two in the bedroom?" Spike asked back.
"Sure. Were real happy for the happy couples but we gotta help Spike with something." Smolder told everyone.
"Oh sure. When you're finished we'll talk about what roles we'll have in the wedding." Twilight said.
In the bedroom Spike showed the two his stone scaled covered face and was freaking out a little.
"Now Spike calm down. It's perfectly normal for dragons to go under this molt stage." Smolder assured.
"Molt stage?" Spike asked.
"It's super painful stone scales, fire burps, uncontrollable volume shifts. It's all part of growing up as a dragon." Garble explained.
"Oh man! I can't let the others see me like this!!" Spike shouted.
"Calm down Spike! It's gonna be okay. You're gonna be fine." Garble said.
Then he started glowing red and when it died down the scales lost their color. It may have stopped the itching but then it started coating him in stone and he became a statue. Garble knew that this is the second stage. Then the statue started cracking and glowed brightly causing him to be free from the stone prison. But the only difference is that he gained dragon wings.
"What happened to me? Did I gain wings?" Spike asked.
"You sure did Spike. Your now a full grown dragon now!" Garble replied.
Then at the same time Belle and Adam came in the bedroom. They must have heard the noise.
"Spike! Is everything okay? We heard some noises." Adam replied.
"And when did you get those wings?" Belle asked.
"I think we can explain why ma'am. Spike went under a developmental stage for dragons called the molt. It's something I went through growing up." Smolder answered.
"The molt? What exactly is the molt?" Belle asked.
"Come downstairs and we'll tell you." Garble replied.
So once everyone is downstairs Garble and Smolder began to explain to Princess Twilight, Thorax, Belle, Adam, and the others all about the the effect of the molt.
"So your saying that Spikey was going through a stage known as the molt?" Rarity asked.
"Yes Rarity. And every dragon goes through that a lot." Vex assumed.
"What exactly happens when a dragon goes through the molt?" Adam wondered.
"Well the first thing that happens is the dragon breaks out in stone scales. And it itches. A LOT." Garble started.
"Then he starts having side effects from it like fire burps, and uncontrollable volume shifts. He can try to control them but it's real hard to do." Fume continued.
"And finally the dragon glows red which makes the scales lose their color and stop the itching. But in doing so he turns into stone and after he breaks free from the stone he gains his wings which you see now." Fizzle finished.
"Oh so he's okay now?" Twilight asked.
"Yes he is. Now that he has wings. Let's see if he can fly." Smolder said.
Then to everyone's surprise the two spread their wings and gently started flying. The ponies and his adopted parents smiled seeing him fly. Even Garble and his gang joined in and smiled seeing Spike as their new flying buddy.
"Well Spike. You got some new flying buddies now." Torch replied.
"I sure do. And Garble? Thanks for your kindness." Spike told him.
"Anytime little bro." Garble responded.
Soon all the dragons came floating down and landed gently in front of everyone.
"So now that we got that out of the way. When should we have the double wedding?" Garble asked.
"We will have it in 3 months. That way everyone will be ready. Shining will be my best man when I marry Cadence. And The Mane Five will be the bridesmaids, and Thorax? Since you are my brother I like you to join me and Cadence when we all go on our honeymoon." Pharynx said.
"It would be an honor brother." Thorax praised.
"And Celestia. Since you were gonna read the vows at the last one I figured out that you can do it here for this double wedding. Consider this a makeup for the previous one." Pharynx told her.
"Thank you Pharynx. And I can say that im very happy for you, Cadence, Thorax and Twilight." Celestia replied.
"Me too. This will be the most wonderful wedding in years." Luna commented.
"Indeed. Now let's all rest up. Cause in 3 months we have a double wedding to intend." Shining said as he and the others left the castle leaving Thorax, Twilight, Cadence, Pharynx and Spike with Belle and Adam.
"Well Twilight. Im very happy for you. In 3 months you'll be a queen." Belle responded.
"Thanks mom. I can't wait to marry Thorax. And his brother can't wait to marry Cadence." Twilight said happy.
"I can imagine the looks on their faces. Come dears. You'll stay with us til the big day." Adam replied.
"Thank you Belle." Cadence said as everyone headed to the bedrooms as it was getting late.
They all got settled in their rooms and went to sleep dreaming away of what the future will hold for them. But they knew that it will be ready for them once they are married.
