~~~ Last Time... ~~~

"My daughter. She wants to be a fashion designer like me when she grows up she really wanted to come but I told her not to come. Then she is only 10 years old she must the place did in between some of my other dresses."

At hearing this Twilight gave him a serene smile that could help calm down. "10 years old. That's very impressive. I think the only other mare I know that is that talented is one of my dear friends from where I'm from. I hope that she makes it, in the fashion business, and I would be more than honored to wear this on my wedding day."

At hearing this, the stallion's mouth with a gaped shocked at what he heard. Queen Cosmos started levitating a bag of bits that she promised. She would give to the designer who made the dress. "Please take this at to your daughters her as I promised. For her, making the dress for my future daughter-in-law."

At this they all left. There wasn't even a need for tailoring as it ended up fitting Twilight perfectly.

~~~ and now... We have a wedding!!! ~~~

Another six months of planning for her wedding and it finally came together! But it all came down to this. The wedding day and Twilight was waiting at the door waiting for the wedding to begin. The music began to play, and she started walking down the aisle. King Artemis was doing the part that Celestia did for her brother's wedding. While cosmos and Luna stood on her side of the tour while Star swirl was standing next to Solarium. As soon as Solarium saw Twilight he felt as if his breath was, taken away by her beauty. She soon made it to the altar they started to go through the procession of the wedding. Soon as that was over, they presented each other with their rings King Artemis finally said. "I finally pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."


The two leaned in and kissed each other and everyone began to applaud. Artemis then began to speak once more. "I now present to you , Prince Solarium and Princess Twilight."


Everyone began to applaud even louder as the two started walking down the aisle. The two started heading over to the courtyard for the reception. At the reception everyone was having fun all though Solarium ate four slices of cake. From the four different flavor cake wedding cake. Which when he started eating the fourth slice of cake Twilight decided to be a little bit of a prankster. She focused some of her magic on Solarium's plate. Which was sitting on a table and had it go straight toward his muzzle as soon as it hit everyone gasped in surprise. He looked around wondering how that happened until Twilight began to laugh. "I'm sorry but you are eating too much cake and also you left your self open. So I thought that this was an easy opening for one of the oldest cake pranks of my time."


At hearing this Luna began to laughing and also started thinking that now she had a new tactic on her brother. When it came to pranks. Soon Cosmos and Artemis joined in on the laughter and not too long after they began laugh. Solarium soon joined in on the laughter. He had to admit it was very humorous. Soon the reception was over and before Solarium and Twilight left for their honeymoon. Before they left Twilight's through the bouquet of flowers. Which it ended up in Luna's hooves. This made Luna shock at first. But only moments later she became mortified... as soon as her mother pulled out some papers with the front piece of paper saying 'Plans for Luna's wedding' on the top. Seeing this, the two newly wedded couple began to laugh. As the chariot started taking the two back to Solarium, private cabin.


~~~


By the time they reached the cabin it was late. So they decide to go to bed so they went into what was once Solarium's bedroom in the cabin. Which is now both of theirs and went to bed with Solarium placing a wing over Twilight. She was the first one to fall asleep all the while Solarium was thinking in his head. (She is lovely when she's sleeping and I'm very lucky to have found her. I'm not looking forward to when she returns back to our time, but I'll wait for her and I will find her in our future.)


And with that Solarium kiss just below Twilight's horn. "I love you Twilight in no matter nothing will separate us forever, I will always find you and I'll keep you safe. I promise." and with that Solarium laid his head and fell asleep as well.

The two stayed at the cabin for two weeks during which they pretty much did the same exact thing they did when they were at the cabin during hearts and hoofs day. The only difference was any time the two had separated before, they would instead remain together. Eventually it was time for them to go back home and so they got on the chariot and headed back to Everfree Castle. As soon as the two returned they saw Luna waiting for them. Luna was smiling and waving towards him, but Solarium saw a look in her eye and knew that something was up. "Welcome back, you two. How was your honeymoon?"


Twilight smiled and gave Luna a hug. "It was great. Thank you for asking. Although before we left we decided to go on one more nature hike and I'm pretty tired. I think I'm going to take a nap."


At this Solarium smiled. "That is a great idea. I think I will join you in a little bit. I need to ask Luna if there is anything has happened since we left. You never know if Luna and my parents need to go on a diplomatic meeting. And need us to take care of Equestria while they are gone."


At hearing this Twilight nodded her head and started heading towards Solarium's bed chambers. Which on the day before they left for Left for the wedding. Placed all of her things in his room except for the bed that she was using in Luna's chambers. Which during their honeymoon was, removed from Luna's room and was, placed. In a different room for future guest. As soon as Solarium sensed that Twilight was far enough where she could not hear, he looked toward his sister. "All right, I know that look, some thing's up. What's going on?"


At that moment Luna gave out a solemn look. Which made Solarium think that the Star swirl figured out how to send Twilight back to future. But it was worse, far worse. "You remember those renegade ponies we thought we took care of 10 years ago. The ones that want to kill mother, father you and me?"


At hearing this Solarium paled hearing what his sister was about to say. "Yes I remember them quite well. Why I thought they all died when they accidentally blow themselves up in their main hideout?"


"That's what all of us thought, but two days after your wedding day we got a threating letter from the one who we thought was the deceased leader of the organization. We compared it against old threat letters that were from him and their a perfect match. Father has the letter. But I did memorize what it said and in short. He said that he will not rest until either he takes his last breath, or the Royal family takes their last breath."


At hearing this Solarium's heart sank and he began to tremble in fear. Fear for Twilight because since he married her. She is now technically part of the Royal family which in turn places her in danger. He promised to protect her and now he finds out that he's placing her in danger. But then his tremble of fear became a trembling of rage and his hair started catching on fire. "He is not going to get away with this. He's not going to hurt mother. He's not one hurt father. He's not going to hurt you and he is not going to hurt Twilight!"


Luna was expecting him to react this way in all truth. Their father acted the same way to some extent. The only difference was father's mane and tail did not set on fire. "Yes I know this, but should we tell Twilight about it, or should we keep it to ourselves? I would hate for her to have a panic attack because she gets paranoid about somepony trying to kill us all."


At hearing this Solarium froze once more. What Luna said was true Twilight seemed like the type of pony who would panic. At something like this and would be, scared for quite some time. This was partially because Twilight never told him about the times she defeated Nightmare Moon, Discord. Helped defeat Queen Chrysalis and help put a stop to King Sombra. She had stood up to one of his former students and how she went into full combat with Tirek.

But Solarium did not know any of this.

"You're right. I want to the start increasing security in the Castle. And in the Castle grounds tell the guards that if she asks just to tell her that. I didn't want any jealous mares bugging us. And if she asks you tell her that as well if Star swirl knows the situation tell him. The tell her that excuses well if she asks."


At this Luna nodded. "Right away. I'll also will send mother and father a letter about your decision on the matter, and the reasons why. I hope they'll see it the way we do."


"So do I, Luna so do I."


And with that the two went their separate ways. Luna going to tell though Royal guards and other staff about Solarium's decision. While Solarium was heading toward his bed chambers. He kept his guard up so that he would not make a mistake.
