"Honey, do you have the list?"
"Yes, Dissy, I have the list."
"Well let's go then! What's first?" I asked.
"Um, first we need to, get the cake. To Sugar Cube Corner first." Fluttershy said as she looked at the list.
I teleported us to Sugar Cube Corner.
"Hello, Mrs. Cake, we're here for our appointment to sample cake, for our wedding."
"Why, yes dear, ju..."
She was interrupted by the twins yelling.
"POUND! GIVE ME MY SPELL BOOK BACK! I"M TRYING TO STUDY FOR MY EXAM WITH TWILIGHT!" Pumpkin yelled at her brother.
"ONLY IF YOU CAN CATCH ME EGGHEAD!" Pound answered back
"MOM! POUND'S CALLING ME NAMES AGAIN! AND I"M TRYING TO STUDY FOR A BIG EXAM, BUT HE TOOK MY SPELL BOOK!"
"WHATEVER! AT LEAST I HAVE A COOLER MENTOR THAN YOU!"
"MY MENTOR'S A PRINCESS! AND ALL YOURS DID WAS FREE FALL TO THE POINT WHERE SHE BUILT UP ENOUGH KINETIC ENERGY TO WHERE SHE SHATTERED THE SOUND BARRIER AROUND HER! AND THE RAINBOW ISN'T FROM HER TALE STUPID, IT'S FROM THE CLOUDS SHE COLLECTS IN THE FREE FALL! THE CONE OF KINETIC ENERGY ACTS AS A PRISM! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU!?"
"AGAIN WHATEVER NERD! COME AND CATCH ME IF YOU WANT YOUR STUPID BOOK!"
Rainbow was training Pound and Twilight was mentoring Pumpkin in magic. both of them were about ten years old.
"Here, you get the cakes and I'll tell Pound a surprising fact about Dash."
"Kids, can you come down here for a moment?"
"BUT FLUTTERSHY! HE WON'T GIVE ME MY BOOK BACK! AND I CAN"T QUITE GET A GOOD AIM ON HIM WHILE HE'S FLYING!" Pumpkin whined.
"Now please."
"Okay." The twins said in a much calmer tone.
The twins came down the stairs
"Now, Pound, why did you take your sister's book?" Fluttershy asked calmly when the two were front and center.
"Because, she needs to get her head outta the paper, and stop reading and help time me for my flight test on Monday."
"My test is much more important and I've already timed you, you shattered your record three times already!"
"Bot of your tests are both equally important, but Pound, you need to stop calling Pumpkin names. Do you want to know what happened when Rainbow called Twilight an egghead when she landed herself in the hospital?" Fluttershy said.
"I don't recall that one from Twilight."
"I don't remember Dash telling me anything."
"Well, then I'll tell you the story. Rainbow was doing some pretty cool tricks, and she crashed pretty hard. She ended up hurting her wing. So she had to stay in the hospital for a few days. She was very bored, so Twilight went into the hallway and out to the passing rolling hospital library. She grabbed a book off the shelf, it was called "Daring Doo And The Quest For The Sappire Statue". She laughed and told Twilight that books were for eggheads like her.
"Eventually, Rainbow got so bored that she did the unthinkable!"
"What!?" The twins cried out.
Fluttershy let the suspense build.
"She.......started to read the book!"
The two gasped.
"She got so into the book that she even liked it, but when she was checked out early, she didn't have time to finish it. She tried to get checked back into the hospital, but she failed. Then, she tried to sneak back in the hospital. It worked, for a short period time, the current resident of the bed she was in, woke up, and cried out in Alarm. The doctors and the nurses came running. But she remembered that Daring Doo had been in a similar situation. She drained the last strength in her injured wing the glide over the filly that was on her right.
"She ran through out Ponyville waking everypony up, they finally cornered her in Sweet Apple Acres, the doctors were confused, they thought she was stealing slippers, but she was just trying to finish Daring Doo. Twilight was surprised that Rainbow even picked up the book. She let Rainbow borrow all of the books. She learned that books are for all ponies, sporty and 'eggheads'. And if you don't beleive me, I'll bet you my wedding dress that Rainbow Dash has the entire Daring Doo collection in her room right now, and you can probably sneak up on her while she's napping, and find a Daring Doo book in her hooves."
"Ha, ha right! Books are for eggheads, and that's that."
"Pound, I'm telling you, she likes some books, and that's that."
There was a soft snoring sound coming from out side, we all went to see what it was. In the tree behind Sugar Cube Corner, was Rainbow Dash taking a nap.
Flutter shy nudged Pound and whispered,"go on, see if there's a book."
Cautiously, Pound quietly hovered up. Rainbow, was asleep, there WAS a book, but it was covering her face, the title read, "Daring Doo And The Quest For The Sapphire Statue". Pound had landed on a branch above Rainbow to get a closer look. There was a crack, Pound suddenly fell, right on top of Rainbow.
"GAAAAAAHHH! Pound? What are you doing!?"
"Rainbow? Your an egghead?"
"Yes and no, but can we talk about this when you're not on top of me?"
Pound nodded and they both flew down to the ground.
"Now, what the hay were you doing?" Rainbow asked calmer than I thought she would.
"Fluttershy told me that you were into books, and that you had this weird incident where you were in the hospital, and Twilight gave you a book to read, and you read it and you couldn't finish it, and you broke into the hospital....."
"Yes, Pound, you need to understand that you can be totally awesome but like read some too. There's nothing wrong with being wrapped up in a book or liking reading, and trust me, if any pony makes fun of you for reading, then tell 'em that I read."
"Okay, I'm sorry Pumpkin for calling you an egghead, here's your book back."
"Apology excepted, I promise that after my exam, that I'll time you, promise."
"It sounds like you need to write to Princess Twilight." Rainbow said.
"There you all are, you can start sampling some cake. Its all laid out." Mrs. Cake said pointing in the direction of the kitchen.
"Thank you Mrs. Cake, we'll let you know which cake to bake." I said with a smile.
After around twenty samples, we deciphered on a special dark chocolate that was moist, and a delishios carrot cake, also moist. We wanted to have an eight layer cake, alternating between the two flavors. with a cotton candy flavored icing. We both came up with the design.
"thanks again Mrs. Cake." Fluttershy said pulling out some bits.
"Oh, it really is no bother dear. Come again soon!" She said as we walk out of the little sweet shop on the corner.
"What's next?"
"Flowers, to Lilly's, Roses, and Cherry Mash."
I snapped and we appeared in front of Lilly.
"Oh, hello Lilly, where's Cherry mash and Rose?" Fluttershy asked looking around.
"Oh there in Canterlot, helping with Princess Celestia's wedding."
"I had to stay behind and help you two with your appointment. So how are you and Discord coming along."
"We're doing good. How are you and Orchid?"Fluttershy asked
"Good I supposed, he's been acting up, he's not seeing me as often. But that doesn't matter right now, you two need flowers!"
"I was thinking Roses, orchids, carnations, and, do you have and poison joke?"Fluttershy said reading the list we made earlier.
"I need more carnations but, I have everything else."
Zecora had recently made a discovery, if you water poison joke with the herbal bath water then it won't play the jokes on you. The flower has a pretty blue hue, so it has been quite popular.
"Here, I found the rest of the Carnation, will that be all the flowers you need?" Lilly said looking at what she had in stock.
"Yes, that should be it, thank you Lilly!" Fluttershy said as she walked out of the store.
"Let's see, next is, ooh, my wedding dress."
"Oh no! I forgot to tell your family!" I cried out as I realized my mistake.
"No matter, we can pick them up."
I snapped us to Manehatten.
We were in front of the veterinary clinic.
"Now, remember Mr. Youcon, Rover gets the pill, and Lady gets the syrup." a light yellow pegusis with a violet mane in a bun said in a sweet gentle voice that sounded similar to Fluttershy's. Her cutie mark was a paw print with a red cross inside it. Her eyes were the same sapphire blue that Fluttershy had.
"Mom!"
"Fluttershy! how have you been! It's been too long!"
"I know. I've been wrapped up in things."
"Well that was my last appointment for the day, so, who is this?" She asked looking at me.
"This is Discord. He got a little forgetful and forgot to send the letters out."
"Well, hello, I'm Honey Cloud, let my call my husband in here. Ocean Breeze! Fluttershy's here!"
"I'll be there in just a second dear!"
There was hoof steps and a few seconds later, a pegusis with a ragged brown mane appeared at the stairs.His coat was a shade of buttercup and his eyes were also a shade of yellow. He was wearing a tie. His cutie mark was a dolphin over top of a red cross under water.
"Fluttershy!" Her father said as she gave him a hug.
"We missed you so much."
"Mom, Dad, I'd like you to meet Discord."
They didn't see that I had gotten bored and hung from the ceiling.
"Hello, I'm Discord. Nice to meet you." Fluttershy's parents jumped back in fright, because I had appeared out of nowhere.
I casually walked across the ceiling and down the wall and on to the floor so they could see me properly.
"Discord, you behave yourself, you do want to make a good first impression, don't you?" Fluttershy said in a glaringly voice.
"Now dear, I'm just having some fun."
She rolled her eyes, her gorgeous sapphire eyes.
"Oh, Dissy, I love you, you know."
"Not as much as I love you." I said, flirting with her.
She giggled in return.
"Um, Fluttershy, is there something you'd like to tell us?" Her father asked.
"Um, yes, Discord is my fiance."
Her father paused, things running through his head.
"Well, this is wonderful, so when did he pop the question?" Her mother asked excitedly.
"About a month ago. He got me the most expensive one they had." She said holding up her hoof to show her parents.
"Oh, my word! It's beautiful!"
"Yes, it's pretty, may I have a word with you, Discord?" Ocean Breeze said finally coming out of his trance.
He led me into another room and shut the door.
"Now you listen here Discord, you take care of her, and if you leave her, I swear, I will make you regret it until the day you die, and I, will personally make every day of your miserable life, LIVING TARTERUS!"
"Whoa, take it easy 'dad', but I will never leave her. She is the one pony who ever showed me compassion. She is the only pony in a thousand years to even be a friend. She is the one, who freed me from a stone prison.Do you, really thing that I would even think about throwing all that away? Now, I swear, that every ounce of chaos in me, will be dedicated to making her happy. I, The Lord Of All Things Chaos, will, for once, be happy. And that's because of her. Because of her,is the only reason that Manehatten is even still here. So, I don't think that I'll be leaving her anytime soon."
"I've warned you Discord."
"Dissy, we need to stay on track, come on! We need to go pick up the girls!" Fluttershy called from the other room.
"Coming dear!" I said as I rushed out the door and in front of Fluttershy.
"After we pick up my friends, then we'll go to "The Beautiful Bride" in Fillidephia."
"Well, let's go!"
