Disparity

"You-you want to get married!" Twilight stared down at the three subjects knelled before her. One was a unicorn, the next a dragon, and the last a draconequus.
The trio cringed at the blunt words. Nightmare poked Twilight on her left wing, her brow scrunched.
"Isn't our relationship different too?" Nighty asked, her teal pupils digging into Twilight's soul.
Memories flashed across Twilight's mind.
Twilight and her friends cowered as they stared up at the gigantic black alicorn that was staring them down. Nightmare Moon had returned a second time
Nightmare was locked up in a hanging metal cage, her sparkling star mane flat and wet from Nightmare's own tears. Twilight felt something in her heart as she watched the crying alicorn, like a tiny tug on her heart.
Twilight sat in front of Nighty's cage, giving her a proposition. If she would let Twilight reform her, she could be free.
Hours passed as Twilight sat in front of Nighty's cage, going through hundreds of candles. Then it was the fateful day. The bronze key swung from a necklace on Twilight's neck.
Twilight unlocked the cage, Nightmare not bursting free and scorching a hole in the wall, but jumping out a following behind Twilight like a good alicorn.
Many months as Nighty learned the new customs and traditions. And over that time the little tug when she had seen Nightmare crying transformed into a giant pull, like a whaler-pony had struck a harpoon in her chest and a thousand ponies were pulling it, tugging her towards Nightmare.
The one starry night when the pull became to much and Twilight mashed her lips frantically onto Nighty's
And then Nighty pushed back.
A year later, bells ringing as Twilight trotted up the aisle with her father in a flowing lavender wedding gown. Nightmare was waiting, Celestia behind her. Celestia wiped a tear as Twilight stood next to her fillyfriend, soon to be her spouse.
And now here they sat, taking over the Common Pleas Court for the day.
"Darling, please don't make this awkward." Rarity said as she trotted closer to Twilight.
Since the marriage of Twilight and Nighty, Twilight and her friends had never even spoke a word to each other. They had become distant the second Twi had announced her relationship with Nighty.
"I-i'm sorry. I guess our relationships aren't that different," Twilight said.
"Twi, please?" Twilight looked down on Spike, who had grown considerably over the three years since Nighty's return. She had even grown distant with her foster brother and once number-one assistant.
And then Discord looked up at her, a yellow halo forming above his head and angel wings sprouting from his back as he looked into Twilight's eyes, pleading.
"I-i-." Twilight looked frantically over the three.
"It just isn't law! And how many relationships like yours do you know of?" said Twilight.
"Thunderlane, Flitter, and Cloudchaser," stated Rarity.
"Colgate, Berry Punch and Carrot Top," said Spike.
"Trixie, Prince Blueblood, and Garble," said Discord as he bounced up and down on a beach ball.
Rarity was about to list another, but Twilight halted them.
"Okay, I get your point," said Twilight as she pulled out a mound of papers and letters, along with several scrolls.
After ten minutes, she placed the heap of paper off to the side.
"According to the law, it is not against the law to have a relationship like yours. It does not even state the possibility of a marriage of this kind. However, if you are all sure of this, you will need to sign this form."
Twilight floated the paper up for all three to see. All three were at the foot of the throne in seconds.
Twilight floated them each a pen. All three quickly signed. Twilight smiled a she got of the throne, giving a bewildered Rarity a hug. "I hope we can be friends again." Twilight whispered into Rarity's mane.Rarity beamed and smiled, wanting to tell the other old friends the news. The Mane Six were getting back together!
Twilight returned to her throne after giving Spike a tight hug and shaking hoof/paw with Discord. Twilight smiled a she watched her friends leave. She sighed and leaned back into her throne.
Nighty called out "Next!"
A group of six ponies galloped into the throne room, hopeful looks on their faces.
Twilight huffed "Let me guess, you want to get married?"
All six nodded enthusiastically. Twilight and Nighty rolled their eyes.
"Here we go again," whispered Twilight before returning her attention to the six ponies in front of her, putting on a show winning smile.
