Chapter 21: Not such a happy ending after all...

After Queen Chrysalis was defeated, Celestia and Luna both ruled Canterlot again, and Cadence went back to the Crystal Empire.

There was still a great decision to make on Amber and Sombra's part though ....

Where do they go next?

They are both technically fugitives after all. And no matter what Cadence or the royal sisters say, the citizens of Canterlot and the Crystal Empire will always hate them.

So where do they go next?

"Amber!" Sombra yelled after his mare-friend. (girlfriend)

"Yeah?"

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to take a walk, wanna come?" She gave him that irresistible smile.

"I'd love to," He blushed, then remembered something.

Sombra had recently bought her a ring. This wasn't just any ring, he was planning on purposing to her. But he didn't know where he would do it.

He wanted everything to be perfect.

It had to be!

The two walked up and down the Canterlot courtyard until it was dark. Sombra had asked Luna to make the moon especially beautiful tonight. And considering he and Amber had saved her kingdom, she was happy to.

Of course, once Rarity and the others had heard about this they each decided to help. they had helped string up some beautiful lights. Sombra was so grateful for their help.

The alicorn of the night waved to him from the balcony. Sombra gave the signal and nodded. Princess Luna raised a large, golden moon into the sky.

"Amber?" He asked, swallowing the lump in his throat. What if she says no? That would be so embarrassing! Maybe I shouldn't ask.

"Yes, Sombra?"

C'mon, Sombra! You can do this! Just breathe and ask! It's a simple question, just ask her! "I was wondering ...." He trailed off.

Sombra took a deep breath.

He bent down on one hoof and held the golden ring in his magic. "Will you marry me, Amber?"

Inside the box was a ring, it had a piece of amber in the middle, and it was surrounded by gold.

"S-Sombra! I- YES! I will, I will marry you!" She exclaimed, hugging him tightly.

Ceslestia had heard, and she set off fireworks. Reds, blues, greens, oranges, yellows, pinks and purples filled the sky.

Sombra just looked up at where Luna was standing and saw every pony. He smiled and rolled his eyes.

-Up on the Balcony-

"NOW?!" Pinkie Pie asked, so excited that she might burst.

Princess Celestia smiled and nodded. "Yes. Now, Pinkie." She laughed a bit.

Pinkie jumped off the balcony, screaming : "WEDDING PARTY!" She shot off her party cannon and covered every pony in confetti!

"Sombra." Amber giggled, "You set this up?" She said gesturing to everything.

"Well ....the moon yes, but not the lighting or ...Pinkie." He started to giggle too.

Luna flew down to the ground. "So, when's the wedding?"

-The day of the wedding-

The mane 6 were getting Amber ready. Rarity had made her a special wedding dress. It was white with a tint of an amber color around the edges. Her dress had a long train that had her cutie mark embroidered in the center on the bottom.

"Wow darling, you look amazing!" Rarity exclaimed.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash rolled their eyes. "C'mon Rarity, it's time for the ceremony." Applejack said, motioning for the others to literally push her out.

"Wait!" Amber yelled.

"Yeah, sugar cube?" AJ answered first.

"I know it's a little late ...but, I was wondering if you wanted to be my bride's maids?" She asked hopefully.

"Of course!" Rarity answered. "Oh! I need to get the dresses! Come on girls! Follow me! Oh, Amber see you in there!" The rest of the mane 6 left Amber Leaf to herself.

It was finally time for the ceremony. Amber walked down the aisle, looking at her groom the whole time. She was so nervous!

She reached the altar, and stepped up, and stood next to Sombra.

"Mares and gentle colts. We are gathered here together for the marriage of Amber Leaf and Sombra." Princess Celestia began.

CRASH!

The front window had broken, and standing there was a very angry pony wearing a black cloak. A green glow formed around Amber leaf, and she screamed.

"Let me go! Help me!" She tried to struggle, but to mo avail.

Amber was put into a green ball. All the other unicorns in the room, including, Twilight, Rarity, Sombra, and all the royals used their magic.

It was no use ...it was a magic-proof prison.

Then there was an all to familiar laughter.

"HAHAHAHA! I have captured your love, Sombra! And friend to all the others!"

"Let my fiance go!" Sombra yelled.

"I just want to have a little fun! If you can't find Amber two weeks from now, then I will kill her!"

Amber's prison disappeared along with her in it in a flash of light.

For that laughter belonged to none other than Queen Chrysalis.

"NO!" Sombra yelled, tears streaming down muzzle and falling onto the floor.

Then a smaller pony emerged from the shadow of Chrysalis.

"Remember when I told you that I would get my revenge, Twilight Sparkle?" Trixie smiled. "Well, I just did! Your friend .." She pointed to Sombra, "Should thank you. After all, this is your fault, he and his future bride just got caught in the cross-fire!" She laughed and vanished along with Queen Chrysalis.

Twilight just sat there with her head in her hooves.

"What have I done?"
