It was morning and you all decided to have breakfast before heading back to Ponyville. Before breakfast was served you asked Discord to whip up something really good for a special occasion. You told him you have an important announcement to make and you want to have a really great breakfast while giving the announcement. Discord nodded and happily set up a breakfast that would normally be served under special occasions. As everyone else left the tent they noticed the spread on the table and they all happily sat at their respective spots. You, Applejack, and Discord was already seated.
"Oh my Discord this is lovely" Fluttershy smiled as she nuzzled discord.
"Yes all of this food looks simply delightful! Whats the occasion?" Rarity smiled but looked confused.
"Well i figured we could a have a really good breakfast for a change compliments of Discord of course. But also me and Applejack have an important announcement." You and your new fiance looked at each other and smiled.
"Well come on tell us don't keep us in suspense!" Rainbow Dash was getting rather impatient.
You simply chuckled. "Go on baby show them."
Applejack smiled as she lifted her left hoof in the air which revealed to be an engagement ring on her hoof. Everyone gasped and shrieked in delight as they walked up and hugged you and Applejack.
"Oh my goodness darling congratulations!" Rarity smiled as she hugged you both.
"That is awesome A.J. and Al! Congrats!" Rainbow Dash did the same.
"Oh my how wonderful! i am very happy for you both!" Fluttershy's hug lighter than the rest but still was good regardless.
"I can't believe it! Congratulations! You know what this calls for?! A PARTY!" she hugged you both the hardest you and Applejack couldn't help but laugh.
"Congratulation you two we are very happy for you" Twilight hugged you both but it was hard to tell who she hugged tighter since Applejack has been her friend for a long time and you are her student and friend.
"Yeah Congratulations Allen and Applejack!" Spike hugged Applejack but you and spike share a fist bump instead because he found it awkward to hug another guy and you would too but you got used to it from being friends with Discord for so long.
"I am very happy for you my friend! Congratulations! And congratulations to you too Applejack!" Applejack was shocked that Discord had hugged her but she happily returned the hug but Discord hugged you better than the others had. He hugged you like he would hug a brother if he had one.
"Thank you everypony it certainly means a lot." You nodded agreeing with Applejack.
After you all finished breakfast Discord cleaned everything up with his magic and teleported everyone back to Ponyville. It didn't take long for the news of your engagement to Applejack to spread across Ponyville and Canterlot thanks to Pinkie Pie and Discord. Celestia sent a letter through Spike inviting the mane six, You, Discord, and Spike over for a nice evening dinner to discuss the details about the wedding.
Discord teleports you all outside the Canterlot castle and the guards point their spears at all of you for a moment until they saw Twilight and then lowered their spears and apologized.
"I am really sorry for that everyone." Twilight look at everyone apologetically.
You simply smiled. "It's alright Twilight they are just taking their jobs seriously as they should." Everyone nodded in unison and Twilight smiled.
You all entered the dinning hall where Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, and Shining Armor. were waiting for you all.
"Shining Armor! Cadence!" Twilight and Cadenced approached each other and did their special friendship dance.
"Sunshine sunshine, ladybugs awake. Clap your hooves and do a little shake." Both Twilight and Cadence said and danced in unison and both laughed and hugged afterwards. After you and Shining Armor greeted with a hug he approached Twilight with a smile on his face as he hugged Twilight harder and she returned the hug happily.
"Twiley! I missed you little sis!"
"I miss you too BBBFF!"
You looked at twilight confused. "Huh?"
Applejack giggled and answered for Twilight. "Big brother best friend forever."
"Oh!" Everyone laughs as nostalgia hits them remembering they had the same reaction when they first heard it.
You all sit at the big dinning table with a feast prepared for all of you. "I am so pleased all of you could make it and it would have been pointless if Allen and Applejack couldn't have shown up but i am glad everyone is here. So what all have you decided for the wedding so far?"
You and Applejack looked at each other and smiled. "Well we definitely want it at Sweet Apple Acres and we decided to have the wedding after we stop Dark light. But we want Twilight to preform the ceremony.
"Yeah and i want the other girls to be my brides maids." Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity couldn't help but smile and nod.
"So whats my role in all of this?" Discord looked at us confused.
"Isn't it obvious Discord i want you to be my best man." Discord smiled brightly and hugged you tightly in appreciation and you return the hug.
"I take it i am the ring bearer?" Spike asked enthusiastically. You and Applejack nodded and smiled.
"But i know you called us here for more than just to talk about the wedding." You gave Celestia a serious look.
"You mean you know?" Celestia looked at me shocked and confused.
"Of course i can feel something big is about to go down. I have been using my magic for a year now and i can sense these things just like you and Princess Luna." Both of the Alicorn sisters looked at you with shock and amazement as they nodded.
"You are indeed correct Allen. My sister and i have sensed that Dark Light is about to make his move any day now."
"Well since we are on topic i want you to tell me the full story this time and don't try to pretend that you don't know what i am talking about. You had a past with Dark Light didn't you?" Celestia and Luna nodded and everypony gasped.
"We did indeed although in order to understand this completely we must start from the beginning and we must start by telling you that Dark Light isn't what he appears to be."
You nod as Applejack looks more concerned than before. "Dark Light wasn't born normally he was created through magic specifically dark magic." Everypony gasped again in horror.
"P-Princess Celestia you don't mean you-" Celestia cut Twilight off my putting a hoof to her mouth.
"No my dear Twilight it wasn't i or Luna that created him but we do know who did."
"Then who created him?" You asked curiously.
"King Sombra" Everypony's eyes lit up in horror too speechless to gasp this time.
"King Sombra created Dark Light as a weapon to use again me and my sister. When he created Dark Light he made him just as strong as both me and Luna maybe even stronger. Dark Light had intended on following his orders but after we met he became our friend and he did not wish to follow Sombra any longer. We saw there was good in him and he helped us defeat Sombra."
"Alright now i need to know something Celestia and only you and Luna can give me my answer. Dark Light was the bearer of the Blade of Harmony before me wasn't he?" Celestia nodded and the others were so much in shock that they were remained speechless.
"Yes there was already a legend though before you and that was the very first bearer of the Blade of Harmony would betray Equestria and bring darkness the likes of which this world has never seen. He did obtain the Blade of Harmony and he helped keep Equestria in order but once we found the legend we had to banish him from Equestria after he started to use dark magic and when he obtained dark magic he used it to duplicate the Blade of Harmony but since he duplicated the blade with dark magic the duplicate was engulfed by dark magic thus creating the Blade of Disharmony."
"Why didn't you inform me about any of this sooner?"
"It's not something that is easy for me to talk about."
"I understand." You all continue your meal and enjoy your evening. But little did they know high up in the mountains Dark Light was watching their entire conversation and dinner using a magic mirror he created with his dark magic.
"Oh don't worry Celestia and Allen my plan with be revealed soon enough. Soon all the pieces will be in place and i shall destroy Celestia, Luna, and Allen and take my rightful place as not only the ruler of Equestria but the ruler of this entire pathetic world! Sombra was always weaker than i. He might have taught me about dark magic but i mastered it and unlike him i have never underestimated my enemies only the ones i once called "friends". Sombra was right about one thing though friendship is worthless. It can only hold back ones true power. Once i become the ruler of this world the word friendship will cease to exist. After i destroy the princesses and wielder of the Blade of Harmony i will corrupt the Elements of Harmony and if i am unable to then i will just destroy them by destroying the bearers themselves!" Dark Light laughs maniacally and evilly.
After dinner everyone gets settled into their rooms with same sleeping arrangements that you all had while camping.
Applejack lays in bed looking up at the ceiling and you can't help but notice her stress. "Whats wrong Applejack?"
"I am just really worried Allen i have this strange feeling something terrible is going to happen i just hope i am overthinking things."
You kiss Applejack lovingly as you stroke her cheek. "Applejack even if something bad does happen i will protect you and if you get ponynapped i will save you i promise. I will do everything in my power to keep you save."
"It's not me i am worried about sugarcube It's you and-" She cuts herself off as she rubs her stomach in small circles and you immediately realize what she means.
"Applejack are you saying what i think your saying?"
Applejack blushes as she nods. "Yes Allen i am pregnant i wanted to tell you sooner but never had the chance to. I was going to the night you proposed to me but i just got all excited from your proposal that i completely forgot to so when i heard we were going to be staying at the castle tonight i knew we would have some alone time for me to be able to tell you."
You pull Applejack into a hug and kiss her forehead then her stomach softly. "So you lied a few months ago when you said you was gaining weight by eating a little too much." You chuckle as Applejack giggled.
"Yeah i didn't want to tell you and disrupt your training only one who knows is Fluttershy and Discord. But they both pinkie promised not to tell anyone not even you only because you were training but i figured now is a good of time as any to tell you."
"How far along are you and when are you due?"
"I have been pregnant for 9 months and a pony is normally pregnant for 10 months so it could show up any day now."
"Do you know what it is?"
"Discord could tell and he said we are having a boy and don't worry the he will look like a pony so you don't have to worry about him looking different."
you sighed in relief as you lay your hand on Applejack stomach. "I am glad to hear that of course i would love our child no matter what he looked like." You and Applejack shared one last loving kiss before falling asleep into each others arms.
