Half a year later, in Canterlot Castle, everyone was preparing for a big event. Everyone gathered around in the throne room. Anar D was at the front of the room with a large book in his lion paw and a suit over his body. Around him was a large alter. The crowd in front had many superheroes and citizens.
"Why is Anar D filling this role?" the Lone Mare asked.
"It's the least everyone could do for him after what he's been through." Terrania explained. "The bride asked and Anar D accepted."
Suddenly, the doors opened up. Blue Comet arrived and stood next to Anar D. A few minutes later, the Masked Matterhorn walked down the aisle and stood in front of Blue Comet. They were happy.
The Power Ponies stood right behind the Masked Matterhorn in their bridesmaid dresses. The Mighty Machines were standing with the princesses at the side. Carol stood by as the best mare (even though she was a human).
"All right, everypony," Anar D said. "Let's do this! I've got to get out of this monkey suit! Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: a superhero wedding. We've all been through many events to get us on this fateful day and every second was worth it. So, do you, Blue Comet, take this heroine to be your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, 'til death do you part... which isn't preferred?"
"I do."
"And do you, Masked Matterhorn, take this hero to be your lawfully wedded husband in all the terms I just explained to him?"
"I do."
"I thought so. Then, present the rings."
Carol pulled out a pair of rings and gave them to the Masked Matterhorn and Blue Comet. They gave each other their rings one at a time.
"Now then," Anar D said, "By the power vested in me by the past 10,000 years it took to understand friendship, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may... OH, JUST KISS! I CAN'T HOLD BACK THE TEARS!" He then sobbed.
The two kissed and everyone celebrated. It was the happiest day in anyone's life. Filli-Second starting crying waterfalls from her eyes. She immediately cheered up and suggested something.
"Hey, do you know what this calls for?"
"Filli, we're already throwing a party." Mistress Marevelous said. "It's called the reception."
Fili-Second giggled sheepishly. *SQUEE*
"One more thing..." Celestia said. She pulled out seven shining metals. She placed them around the Power Ponies and Hum Drum's necks.
"The blacksmiths of the Crystal Empire spend the past six months making you these." Cadence said. "They are made as a special congratulations for your service to every pony. Equestria needs its heroes and each hero needs their friend."
"Wait a minute," Anar D said, "Where's my medal?"
"I don't think you're quite there yet." Saddle Rager said.
"Well... all right." Anar D said.
Half-an-hour later, after the cake-cutting ceremony, the Under Dogs played their music for everyone. The Shadow Blot looked across the room and saw Celestia conversing with the other princesses. He approached her and got her to speak to him alone.
"Hey, 'Tia, I was wondering," the Shadow Blot said nervously, "Would you want to... get some coffee with me sometime?"
"Sounds lovely." Princess Celestia answered. "I'll let you know the time."
The Shadow Blot looked and saw that Hum Drum was watching the whole thing. Hum Drum turned into his diamond form and blinked a sparkle before turning back.
Meanwhile, Carol was encountered by Saddle Rager and Devastator.
"How are you doing, you two?" Carol asked.
"We're doing quite well." Saddle Rager said. "Isn't that right, Devastator?"
"Yes, we are." Devastator said.
"Hey, I know I'm not a pet expert," Carol said, "But shouldn't he have a brighter name than Devastator?"
"We're working on it." Devastator said. "In the meantime, what are you doing?"
"Realizing my sister was right about one thing," Carol explained, "The world is changing. And we've got to accept that or else something just as bad as Arcanus might show up."
"Whatever comes, we'll face it together." Saddle Rager said. "The world may be changing, but it'll always need somepony to help it accept change, no matter how rough things might become.
"There will be a night
When there's no shine to be found
Even Luna's moon above
Can't even gleam its glow
But there's always a light
That will never even dim down
We will always have our love
As long as we always know
We are all more than friends
We're family
We're far beyond
The eternal bond
We are always friends
As close can be
We're family
As you can see
We are...
We're family"
"When you're all alone," Carol sang,
"And no one would dare lend a hoof
You seem like your only place
Is deep inside the dark
But now, I am home"
"Now, I am home," Saddle Rager sang.
"Realizing my greatest goof," Carol sang.
"Deep in all, there is a trace," both sang,
"Of a good and friendly heart
We are all more than friends
We're family
We're far beyond
The eternal bond
We are always friends
As close can be
We're family
As you can see
We are...
We're family"
The Under Dogs began playing slow music and everyone danced gracefully. Slowly, the Under Dogs raised the music and everyone chanted. Soon, it got to the point every everyone at the event sang.
"WE ARE ALL MORE THAN FRIENDS
WE'RE FAMILY
WE'RE FAR BEYOND
THE ETERNAL BOND
WE ARE ALWAYS FRIENDS
AS CLOSE CAN BE
WE'RE FAMILY
AS YOU CAN SEE
YOU AND ME
WE ARE...
WE'RE FAAAAAMILYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
We are...
We're faaaaaamilyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"
"WHO SAVED THE WORLD?!" Filli-Second asked.
"FILLI-SECOND!" everyone shouted angrily
Filli-Second chuckled. "Sorry."
