//------------------------------// // Wedding Fever // Story: The Moon Worshiper After the Fact: Dream Wedding. // by CreatureofTheNight //------------------------------// TWACK! A star-struck changeling went soaring over a precariously-balanced vase of flowers, suffering the effects of a hoof kick from Fang. Yet another pony fanboy snuck in behind the Fang as he glared at Starnight, who was staring into space dreamily. "A little help would be appreciated Starnight!" he snapped. Starnight gazed listlessly at the swarm of fans trying to get to his best friend, Dark Sidewinder, while Fang (literally) beat them back with a stick. "How can someone get this popular!?" Fang exclaimed exasperatedly.”I think I've hit back some of these guys twice!” "Well, Dark’s inspirational, he grew from nothing into the next Prince of this land,” Starnight reasoned. He raised an eyebrow as Fang presented a particularly vicious whack to another fanboy. He looked so cute when he was mad… With all of this wedding stuff happening, Starnight was beginning to wonder about the future of himself and Fang…of their future. He bit his lip suddenly as he wondered if Fang would ever even be interested in getting married to him. He snapped out of his chance to a yowl from Fang: ”I can't hold them off forever Starnight! Help me out here!" Starnight paused and screwed up his eyes. Hi bowed his head, then barrelled into the crowd as fast as he could, catapulting the fans away into the gardens. Fang did the same and after about an hour, they succeeded in getting all the changelings out of the castle and into the grounds. The Guards quickly slammed the door shut, and Starnight winced as the sound of changelings and ponies slamming into the door made their way to his ears. He sighed and tilted his head towards Fang. “Maybe we should take a break" He sighed and tilted his head towards Fang. “Maybe we should take a break?” The changeling coltfriend of Starnight nodded as they both sat down. He had to ask. “What's been with you lately? You've been completely out of it lately.” The altar looked so nice to Starnight that he didn't hear a thing. Fang rolled his eyes.” EQUESTRIA TO STARNIGHT! he yelled. “PAY ATTENTION TO ME!" Starnight flinched. “Sorry…” "Yeah you've been doing that a lot lately,” Fang replied, unimpressed. "What's with you? You've been acting all weird lately." "I have not!" Starnight protested. Fang raised an eyebrow skeptically, mentally recounting the events of the past few days. First there was the time that Fang had been busy buying some streamers for Pinkie to use at the wedding. There were far too many of them and he had been having difficulty holding them all. Starnight, in the meantime had been looking at a suit as though he was imagining himself in it. Then there was the time that Fang and Starnight had been tasked with retrieving one of Rarity’s gemstones from the diamond dogs. Fang had found the whole thing really funny: when they had brought up Rarity, the diamond dogs had turned into blithering cowards. However, while Starnight was busy checking out a golden ring that the Diamond Dogs had stole for over an hour, Fang had been forced to traverse a deep, spider-infested cave to get one gemstone. Alone. Then there was the bachelor party. Starnight and Fang had insisted, but Dark had been skeptical. It had been going fine…until Dark brought up how unbelievable it was that he was getting married to a princess. That’s when Starnight shut down and didn’t say another word the entire night. Fang sighed, smiled lightly and placed his hoof on his shoulder "Come on Starnight. You can tell me anything." Starnight paused and glanced down awkwardly. "I...I was thinking about something.” “About what?" Fang asked curiously. "I was thinking about the wedding and how cool it is that my best friend is getting married and I'm the best man..." He sighed. “And then I...start thinking about the future...about you know...you and me" Fang turned scarlet. “Is this a proposal?" he asked, terrified. He wasn’t ready for that at all. He’d only been dating Starnight for about a week. "No! No!" Starnight quickly protested. "It's just...something I'm thinking about. I can see myself settling down with you, being completely in love with you…you know, making our love shake the heavens and all that kind of stuff.” He sighed "I guess I’m a little jealous of Dark for getting married so soon.” Fang smiled. "Don't be. I may not be there yet...but I have been thinking about it too..." Starnight paused as Fang grinned and ruffled his hair with one hoof. "I love you. You know that right?” "Of course I do" Starnight grinned back. “I have an idea...if you want to hear it out" “Okay…” Fang said a little nervous "Fang" Starnight began "After this wedding is over…do you want to move in with me? In the Crystal Empire I mean..." Fang’s eyes widened. He loved Starnight with all his little changeling heart, but Fang wasn't sure that a changeling would exactly be allowed inside the Crystal Empire…especially after the Chrysalis incident at Cadence and Shining Armour's wedding. Sure, Chrysalis has changed, but that's kind of a thing that most ponies wouldn’t forget. Fang, however, smiled. Maybe they should give it a shot… "I'd love to.” Yelped in delight, Starnight hugged Fang happily. "This is the best day ever!" Suddenly, the Groom's door opened and Dark trotted in. "Well? How do I look?" He said dazedly. Eeping in delight Starnight hugged Fang so happily and said "This is the best day ever!" Suddenly the Groom's door opened and Dark walked forward "Well? How do I look?" He said happily. "Like a million bits, dude,” Starnight grinned. "I'm gonna be married to the beautiful Luna soon,” Dark said with a smile. "I can hardly believe it!” Fang and Starnight leant against each other, as the both thought the same thing "You know, I'm suddenly becoming more open to that marriage idea.”
