At Cranky Doodle Donkey's House, Matilda was looking through the 'loving-theme' photo album. She saw some photos that she and her fiancé gone through for their honeymoon. They went to the Manehattan for their vacation. They enjoyed their Hearth's Warming Eve. And finally, the next picture was during Princess Twilight Sparkle's Coronation. She was happy to see them because of her special moments with Cranky Doodle Donkey.

On the blank page, she put a glue on it. She placed the wedding invitation card on it. She smiled happily as she was excited.

"I'll never understand the ponies in this town!" Annoying voice said. Matilda turned and found Cranky entered the house as he grumped in annoyance while carrying the bag of fruits, "Everywhere I went, they were all gussied up and lookin' at me funny! Kept asking if I was 'nervous'!"

Matilda smiled as she asked, "Did they forget the wedding is tomorrow?"

"Oh," Cranky hummed as he approached to his fiancée and smiled, "maybe they're just as excited for us to be married as I am."

Both Cranky and Matilda murmuring and giggling happily. Tomorrow is their special day. They can't wait for it to be happen. They're getting married!

"Well, they're going to feel awfully silly when they realize they've got the wrong date." Matilda said in amusement. As she took a peek on her invitation card, she gasped in shock and concern, "The invitations are wrong! This says the wedding is today!"

"Huh?! But I got such a good deal on them..." Cranky said in concern.

"Everypony in town got these! The princesses have even RSVP'd!"

"I told you we should have eloped!"

"Oh, dear. The caterer, the flowers, the musicians! We've got to move it all to today!"

"What?!"

Matilda immediately rushed out of her home's door. She was in hurry to the Ponyville while exclaimed in fear and panic, "Where's my wedding planner?!"

Cranky Doodle Donkey looked at his photo album. Instead of showing his worry and scared, he shown to be angry like he knew someone had messed the invitation up.





At the mail office, Cranky Doodle Donkey had arrived. He began complaining.

"You told me you could do it for half what the others charged, and then you sent the invitations to everypony in town with the wrong date!"

Cranky snorted angrily. He was glaring at none other than the crossed-eyes gray Pegasus Pony - Derpy. She then took the basket of muffins up. She smiled innocently yet nervously.

"Muffin?"

Cranky groaned in annoyance, "Do I look like I have time for snacks?! Thanks to you, I have to rescheduled everything from tomorrow to today! I've got to move now and deal with the problems!"

Cranky turned and galloped at once while leaving Derpy to be depressed and upset of the mess she had made. She ruined the invitation for the Donkey Couples' Wedding.

Derpy moaned in upset, "What have I done?"





At Ponyville Town Square, Twilight Sparkle was discussing with both Shadow Dragon and Lance Justicestrike about the latest news. Both stallions shown their serious and firm expression as they knew their home will be in danger. They have to act now before things get wildly.

Matilda galloped toward the trio. The family of trio turned to her as they wondered of what was going on with her. She explained of what she needed and required for her wedding. They yelped in shock and concern of what they heard.

"You want us to arrange and organize the wedding today?!" Twilight asked in concern.

Matilda nodded, "Yes! Can you help me?"

Twilight Sparkle, Shadow Dragon and Lance Justicestrike hissed in concern while looking at each other. They don't like to ignore her but they had to because they have important mission to attend to especially involving Ponyville...

"I'm sorry, Matilda," Twilight apologized regretfully, "I don't think we can make it."

Shadow Dragon nodded, "We have more important mission to deal with. And the enemies were about to make a move!"

Matilda gasped in shock and concern of what she heard, "No! You can't mean it!"

"We've gotta go now!" Lance said in concern. "Sorry! We really are!"

Twilight Sparkle, Shadow Dragon and Lance Justicestrike galloped at once in dealing with the situation. Matilda was left with shock and concern about it. Now she has to find someone else who is good at the organizing the wedding. But who?

At the cafe, Derpy was talking with her best friend - Dr. Hooves over their drinking tea.

"I really messed up on those invitations! I feel just awful, Doc!" Derpy said in shame as she looked down, "I told Cranky I could get 'em printed for cheap, but that meant hiring somepony with no experience using a printing press." 

Derpy groaned as she leveled her down on the mushroom table, "Oh, I wish there was a way I could go back in time and fix all this."

Dr. Hooves took a sip on the drink's straw for the moment. He stopped as he had some thoughts for the moment. He smiled as he had the idea.





Dr. Hooves led Derpy to his lab at once. It was filled with several machines, chemistry and inventions. Rob was cleaning the lab in making them cleaned and sparkled. His assistant saluted to Dr. Hooves. Dr. Hooves saluted back to Rob.

Rob smiled, "Greeting, Dr. Hooves! Good to see you come back here!"

"Going back in time is old thinking, my friend." Dr. Hooves smiled as he explained, "I was working off a cutting-edge theory of making time come forward to you."

He found Derpy went missing as he looked around. He spotted Rob pointed up. He looked up and found Derpy was playing the plane while wearing the helmet. Dr. Hooves sighed in amusement while shaking his head. She sure loved to be funny and cheerful pony. He leveled the level down in bringing the plan down.

"My life's work, decades – centuries, really – of research and experimentation, and I nearly had it cracked!" Dr. Hooves groaned a bit, "Turns out there's a magic spell for it. Who knew?"

Heard the electrocuting sound, Dr. Hooves turned and found Derpy was touching or lifting down the electro ball for few times. Rob sighed in annoyance as he shook his head for the moment. Dr. Hooves approached as he patted her shoulder.

"But there are so many things that magic can't explain, where science and mathematics are the real magic!"

Derpy gasped as she looked at the water tank of colorful flowers-like, "Like these? They're pretty."

Dr. Hooves smiled as he looked at the flowers, "Ah, yes, my flameless fireworks. I never could quite figure out how to get them to ignite. What do you think, Mr. Rob? Perhaps you could demonstrate them?"

Rob shook his head, "Bad idea! I maybe dragon, but I'm also vulnerable. I think it is wise that we should investigate and research more about this."

"Hmm... Perhaps, you are correct, my friend." Dr. Hooves said thoughtfully, "My... I'm glad that I hired you as my assistant, thought I was hoping that Metalgear would be perfect assistant too."

Derpy hummed, "How did you learn to make all this stuff anyway?"

"I've been studying science my whole life. Ever since a particularly traumatic experience as a foal, I've been looking for ways to make sense of the world around me. Science provides explanations of things we never thought possible!" Dr Hooves explained. He then realized that he is forgetting something important.. He turned and looked at Derpy, "Now, why did we come here again?"

Derpy gasped as she snapped into reality, "Yeah. Oh! Because I accidentally sent out invitations for Cranky and Matilda's wedding with today's date instead of tomorrow's!"

"Great whickering stallions!" Dr. Hooves exclaimed in shock, "I completely forgot! And I still need to get my suit tailored! Robby! Can you do it?!"

Before Rob could say anything, the door was barged very hard. Boomer then come in.

"Robby! Come on! We've got major crisis! Crazy Samurai Demon, fatty frog and Mountain Demon are in our town!"

"Not good! We've gotta stop them! They must be here for Nyx!" Rob exclaimed in concern. He then headed off and followed Boomer. Rob stopped as he turned to Dr. Hooves, "Sorry about that! This is emergency!"

Rob headed off at once. Dr. Hooves groaned in upset as he quickly took his suit and galloped off at once. Derpy sighed in upset and angry. Now she's alone to resolve the problems.





Dr. Hooves galloped all the way to Carousal Boutique through Ponyville Town in a hurry. Upon arriving at the boutique, he frantically knocked the door very hard.

"Rarity? Rarity!" Dr. Hooves called frantically and fearfully. He then grumbled in concern as he realize she wasn't at home. She turned and found DJ Pon 3 is passing him by. He turned and stopped her as he asked, "Please! You've got to help me! I lost track of time, unbelievably, and forgot that the wedding is this afternoon!"

DJ Pon-3 nodded her head while listening to her hip-hop music, instead of listening to what Dr. Hooves had said but looked at his gesture in making a round shape-like.

"Have you seen Rarity? She's got to alter the sleeves on my suit, and she's got to do it now!" Dr. Hooves asked frantically. DJ Pon 3 smiled and nodded her head. She turned and headed off. Dr. Hooves followed her, "Oh, ha-ha, thank goodness. Lead on, my friend."





DJ Pon 3 led Dr. Hooves all the way to the Bowling Stadium where he only found some ponies playing the bowling. He was rather shocked and surprised about it.

"Er, why have you brought me here? Rarity would never set hoof in—" Dr. Hooves was interrupted in concern.

He found three stallions dressed in their stylish suits - an Earth Pony with blond messy mane and mustache dressed in his blue suit, another was a muscular Earth Pony with brownish short mane and mustache dressed in his grayish suit and lastly a skinny Earth Pony dressed in his orange informal shirt. 

Dr. Hooves gasped in surprise, "Great whickering stallions, they've got style!" 

Dr. Hooves approached to three stallions, "Gentlecolts! I'm facing certain calamity, and I couldn't help noticing your remarkable fashion sense. Could I have the name of your incredible tailor?"

The Middle Pony - Jeff Letrotski smiled, "Oh, yeah, man. His name is me."

"Me. What an unfortunate name."

"No, man, like, I manufacture all of my own garments. We all do, man."

"Then you've got to help me! I need this suit tailored! It's an emergency!"

Jeff Letrotski laughed in amusement, "Sorry, man, we're just about to start the finals."

Dr. Hooves hummed in concern, "What's this word you keep using – 'man'?"

"I dunno, man, but guess what? Our fourth didn't show, so if you roll with us, we'll alter your suit for you."

Dr. Hooves turned to the front of bowling pin. He hummed in concern as he made some calculation and solution of how he can help Jeff Letrotski in winning the bowling. And unfortunately, he had nothing...

"I'm sorry, gentlecolts," Dr. Hooves apologized, "but I will not bowl. The splits, the spares! There are simply too many variables!"

"Variables?" Jeff asked in surprise, "What are you talking about, man? Just throw the ball straight!"

"Hold on. Straight?" Dr. Hooves asked in shock and surprise of what he had heard. He looked closely at both bowling ball and pins. He imagined of how the bowling hit straight at the pins. He was surprise yet curious, "Very well. I'll try your "straight" technique. It just might be crazy enough to work."

Thus, the game begins...





There was some disturbance and discussion at Ponyville Town Square. Mane Six, Dragon Strike Force and Black Omega (Lance Justicestrike, Red Arsenal, Shiroi Bai, Steel Blaze, Drake Trio and Metalgear) were discussing with each other about the situation and the enemies they're dealing with. The Ponyville Citizens were watching the event as they wondered of what is going on.

"Do we know what they're on about?" Octavia Melody asked curiously.

Apple Bloom hummed, "The way they're huddled up like that, I'd say it's either a friendship problem or a monster attack."

"I'm going for some rebellions and Demons to kidnap and kill me..." Nyx said in concern.

"A monster attack?!" Octavia Melody gasped, "Blast! I'm performing at the ceremony this afternoon, and I still haven't sorted out what to play. How am I meant to practice with a monster invading Ponyville?"

Sweetie Belle shook her head in denial, "Maybe it's just a friendship problem, and it'll all be cleared up in half an hour or so."

Scootaloo shrugged, "At least, it's not a war again."

Octavia Melody groaned a bit, "I hope so."

As Octavia Melody was leaving, Matilda came across to the large crowd at once, "Where's Pinkie Pie?! I need my wedding planner!"

Before anyone could answer, they heard the buzzing noise. They looked around in search of the noise. They looked up and found a giant black and white mammal with four arms, wings and antenna bugbear. He was glaring and growling at Mane Six. The girls were ready to fight.

Twilight turned to Amethyst Star, "Amethyst! Get everypony to safety! And whatever happen, keep them especially Nyx safe from crossfire! This is going to be tense fight!"

Amethyst Star saluted, "Understand! You heard her! Move! Everyone, go! This is not a drill!"

Amethyst Star led the citizens and children of Ponyville to safety. Their town is about to turn into war zone!

The bugbear flew straight down in launching his stinger at Mane Six. They dodged the attacks at once. Twilight Sparkle flew up and fired her Unicorn Burst at bugbear off. Rainbow Dash flew down and whacked bugbear's head hard before flew up. Bugbear roared angrily as it chased after the Mane Six. The heroines fought with the monster. But the Mane Six aren't the only ponies have to deal with their villains. 

Dragon Strike Force have to deal with some remains of Dark Mystic Rebellions. They were now attacking the Ponyville led by the bald yet mad Tyran dressed in his black Military Coat. 

"You all will fall! The Mortal Realm will fall!" Tyran exclaimed proudly, "We shall destroy you all! For our glorious leader - Dark Curse! To war!"

Dark Mystic Rebels fired their Diamond Blasters and arrows at their enemies. Laxtinct and Icy jumped and summoned the Earthen Wall and Frozen Wall up in blocking and deflecting the attacks from hurting the innocents on most of the routes. Aquastroke and Blazefist got up and fired their Water Torpedo Blasts and Fireball Shots at them. Shorty Thinking and Tailtech fired their Flaming Storm Blaster and Typhoon Blaster. Saber Dragoon and Terrorcreep charged in and swung their both Twin Dragon Sabers and Night Terror Axes at their enemies off. Shadow Dragon battled against Tiran and combated soldiers.

Lance Justicestrike led his team in the face of their enemies: Voltscar, Avalanche and Gutsy while protecting Nyx and her friends from being caught. 

"This time... We shall retrieve and add her to our collection!" Voltscar snarled, "We shall avenged our fathers and mothers!"

Gutsy chuckled, "Indeed. I'm going to enjoy this!"

Avalanche chuckled childishly, "Happy! Happy! Me Avalanche Happy! Make Mama Happy!"

Voltscar roared wildly, "ATTACK!" 

Voltscar and his Demon Successors charged into the battlefield at once. Lance, Red Arsenal and Steel Blaze deal with Voltscar who used his Thundering Samurai Sword to defeat his enemies. Lance and Steel blocked their Dual Blades and Chakram against the Reptilian Warrior's blade while Red Arsenal fired his Crystal Blaster at him. Avalanche roared wildly as he tried to stomp on his enemies but Grunt held his foot hard while Rob held Shiroi up to the sky in firing her Hikari Strike on his face and body. Gutsy blew his powerful wind blown at both Metalgear and Boomer from approaching him.

The Tri-Fight between good and evil had tensioned and hard. Matilda looked worry and scared of what she is seeing.

"Oh, no! On my wedding day?! Somepony's gotta help me!" Matilda exclaimed in fear while pulling her donkey's ears. She turned and found Amethyst Star was organizing some children, followed by the citizens into their safety including Cutie Mark Crusaders. Matilda gasped as she approached Amethyst Star, "You!"

Amethyst Star asked in surprise, "Me?"

"I need to move an entire wedding from tomorrow to today!"

"But nopony's asked me to organize anything since Twilight came to town."

"So you'll do it?"

"I used to be the best organizer in all of Ponyville. You bet I'll—"

But Amethyst Star was interrupted as she and Matilda looked on the front. They found trio team were battling fiercely against Dark Mystic Rebellion, Bugbear and Three Demon Successors.

Shadow Dragon dropped to the ground very hard as Tyran was trying to pierce his knife at him. Shadow Dragon pushed the knife down before kicked Tyran out as both him and Dark Mystic Soldier battled with each other. Earthen and Frozen Wall fell to the ground hard as some armored steel tanks breached them. And before they could do anything, Laxtinct summoned his Earthquake Launch in knocking the tanks off while Icy blasted her Ice Beam at them. Saber Dragoon and Terrorcreep continued battling with their enemies. Blazefist, Aqaustroke, Shorty and Tailtech continued their firepower blasts at the charging enemies while fighting back

Voltscar summoned his Lightning Strikes on Lance and Steel Blaze as they blocked and deflected the attacks. Red Arsenal jumped on him as he used his mechanical arm in bringing Voltscar down. But instead, he was thrown off to the ground. Lance and Steel charged in and swung their blades against Voltscar. Avalanche roared wildly as he stomped his feet on the ground hard. Grunt jumped and rammed the monster to the ground before both Shiroi and Rob joined the battle. Boomer and Metalgear were pulling Gutsy's spiky hair but instead, they blown off uncontrollably like a balloon losing its air. 

Pinkie was caught by Bugbear as it was rubbing Pinkie's mane while her friends struggled in getting her out. Rainbow Dash was about to slam the monster down but punched away from it to the house. As she slide down, Bugbear flew straight at her in ready to stung her. She dodged the attacks. The rest of Mane Six came and helped her.

Matilda yelped in fear, "Come on! We better get to the salon before that these crazy fight flattens it!"

The trio team continued battling with their enemies ferociously and determinedly while keeping the battlefield away from Ponyville.

On the alley, Derpy flew around the area as she wondered of how to solve the mess she had made.

"What am I gonna do?" Derpy asked in concern. She looked down and spotted both Matilda and Amethyst Star running in a hurry. She gasped, "Matilda! I feel so bad about the invitations! Is there anything I can do—"

Matilda screamed in fear, "FLOWERS!"

Matilda and Amethyst Star left in a hurry. Despite being upset or disappointed, Derpy found it a hope and chance for redemption.

At the Flower Workshop, Derpy went and asked the Flower Sisters for the important task to do.

"You want Matilda's arrangements..." Lily Valley asked in shock, "today?!"

Instead of excitement and joyfully, the sisters fell to the ground hard yet dramatically.

Daisy yelped, "This is awful!"

Rose screamed, "The horror, the horror!"

"So there's no way you can do it?" Derpy asked in concern.

"We don't even have Matilda's flowers in yet, much less arranged!" Lily Valley said as she and her sisters got up. She gasped in fear, "This is a disaster!"

Derpy sighed, "Okay. Thanks anyway."

As Derpy turned and flew off to solve the flower problem, the three sisters looked shame and upset for not helping Derpy. But due to flowers haven't arrived, there was nothing they can do.

Lily Valley gasped as she and her sisters found one broken zinnias, "Look, girls! A broken stem on one of the zinnias!"

Daisy asked in shock, "Whaaat?!"

Lily, Daisy and Rose fell to the ground dramatically again...

Rose screamed, "Oh, the horror, the horror!"





At the town hall, both Lyra Heartstrings and Sweetie Drops were decorating it with wedding designs decoration. They both were chatting while decorating. Sweetie Drops handled the banners while Lyra set the bells on them.

"I have to admit, when Matilda said we needed this place ready by today," Bon-Bon said happily, "I was a little nervous."

Lyra Heartstrings smiled, "With you by my side, I knew we'd get it done in time."

"There is nothing like a best friend, is there?"

"Anything's possible when you know somepony as well as we know each other!"

As Lyra and Bon-Bon continued decorating the hall, they both heard a roaring noise from the outside. It made Bon-Bon nervous for some reason...

"What was that?" Bon-Bon asked.

Lyra shrugged and answered, "There's some monster attacking Ponyville or something."

"What is it this time? A creature from the Everfree Forest?"

"Uh, I think it's Dark Mystic Ponies. Dragon Strike Force is putting those baddies down. Wow... Those guys don't know when to quit." Lyra giggled in amusement. "And then we've got some Demon Children for Black Omega Batch to fight. Wow... Who comes up with the idea. And finally, a bugbear. That's the first."

"Did you say bugbear?" Bon-Bon asked fearfully. Lyra nodded. She gasped in fear, "It found me!"

"What are you talking about, Bon Bon?"

"My name isn't Bon Bon. It's 'Special Agent Sweetie Drops'." Bon-Bon or Sweetie Drops admitted shamefully while looking at Mane Six battling with Bugbear, "I work for a super-secret anti-monster agency in Canterlot, or at least I did until the bugbear went missing from Tartarus a few years back."

Lyra asked in concern, "What are you talking about?"

Sweetie Drops continued as she took her briefcase out from the box. She took a hook, rope and sunglasses out, "When it escaped, we had to shutter the whole agency. Every last shred of evidence of the organization's existence was destroyed. Celestia demanded complete deniability."

"What?"

"It was me who captured the bugbear. I had to go deep cover here in Ponyville and assume the name Bon Bon. I never thought it'd be able to track me, but now it has."

"Are you saying our whole friendship was based on a lie?!"

"I'm sorry, Lyra! I couldn't tell you for your own protection!"

"B-b-but the lunches! The-the long talks! The benches we sat on!" Lyra sobbed tearfully, "None of that was real?!"

Sweetie Drops shook her head as she hugged Lyra in comfort, "It was all real. You're my very best friend."

Heard the bugbear roaring, Sweetie Drops sighed in defeat as she put the sunglasses on. She placed the hook on window's edge. She was ready to go.

"I've got to go find a crowd to blend into before I put you in danger!" Sweetie Drops sighed in shame, "I'll see you at the wedding."

As Sweetie Drops climbed down, Lyra approached to the window and shouted at her, "Fine! But we're going to talk about this later!"

As the trio team battled with their enemies, Sweetie Drops blended among the crowds while watching the event. Cranky Doodle Donkey was talking with Jewel Shopkeeper about the jewel.

"I need my ring today, no matter the cost!" Cranky demanded in a hurry. He smiled sheepishly, "...As long as it doesn't cost any extra."

Jewel Shopkeepers groaned in annoyance a bit. Why must pony prefer the cheap ones?





At the bowling ball stadium, Jeff Letrotski and his friends were sitting on the couch since they were done in playing the bowling. Dr. Hooves struggled in helping the trio in winning the competition. Only two more bowling pin standing on far edge sides. He gulped in concern as he had some sweats dropping. He wondered of how he can achieve the goal... 

"Seven/ten split, man." Jeff Letrotski remarked calmly, "Harshest of the harsh. But if you pick this up, we win the whole shebang!"

Dr. Hooves took a deep breathe as he armed and readied himself with bowling ball. As he marched slowly and readied to throw the ball, the door was opened! Derpy called and scared him off.

Derpy called, "Doc! I've finally figured out how I can help! Your flameless fireworks look just like flowers! I'll use them for the wedding!"

Derpy turned and flew off. Heard she had said, Dr. Hooves gasped in shock yet realization. He threw the ball off at once while chased after Derpy. The ball threw straight into the hole before knocked on both pins down. Jeff and his friends cheered wildly and happily. They've won!

As Derpy flew off to her friend's house, Dr. Hooves emerged and called her, "Wait! Don't you remember what Rob had said?! The flameless fireworks are extremely volatile! Without knowing what the trigger is, they could go off at any moment!"He gasped, "My word, are those insurgents, demons and bugbear?"

Mane Six, Dragon Strike Force and Black Omega continued battling and fighting with a Bugbear, Dark Mystic Rebellion and Demon Successors Trio ferociously and determinedly while avoiding create catastrophe, death and damages to Ponyville.

Nyx and her friends watched the battle in concern and worry as they looked at each other for the moment.

"I can't stand and do nothing!" Nyx exclaimed in annoyance as her horn glowed brightly. She was turned into her teenage filly. She was ready to fight, "I've gotta help my family and friends! I've fought the demons once. I can do it again!"

"Wait!" Cutie Mark Crusaders exclaimed in concern as they blocked Nyx from moving forward. They continued, "You can't! It's too dangerous!"

Nyx groaned, "Step aside! I have to help them now!"

"Hold it!" The firm voice called. Cutie Mark Crusaders looked up and found Flash Sentry flew down and bowed before her. He continued, "Princess Nyx. It is wise that you should stay with your friends than the battlefield."

"Why?"

"Because if you go in now, you'll distract them from the battle. They will focus on defending than the fight with their enemies. The enemies will take the advantage and defeated them. You'll get caught. So, I suggest that you do what they asked and wait at hall now."

"But-!"

"Do it for your parents," Flash pleaded, "They'd rather to see you be safe than involved from the fight. If I were your dad, I would think the same thing."

Nyx thought for the moment before she groaned in annoyance, "I hate it when you're right, Lieutenant." She sighed as she transformed back into her filly form, "Very well. I will do what you asked. I will wait at the hall..."

Flash smiled, "Thanks. Mind if I accompany you? I will protect you from danger. Of course, I want to know more about your dad. I'm his biggest fan!"

Cutie Mark Crusaders giggled in amusement and happily of what they just heard. They thought that Scootaloo was the biggest fan for Rainbow Dash.

Nyx giggled in amusement, "Sure. Why not? Come on."

Both Cutie Mark Crusaders and Flash Sentry headed off to the hall at once while leaving the rest deal with the battle.





At the Spa, Matilda was taking a long rejuvenation and make-up in getting herself ready for the wedding with both Lotus Blossom and Aloe were helping her.

"Oh, there are so many things I'm forgetting! I hope Cranky remembers to tell the musicians!" Matilda hissed in concern while sitting on the bench, "Oh! Oh! I'll never get my mane done in time!"

Lotus Blossom sighed as she pulled Matilda to lie down on bench, "You must relax, my dear! We can handle anything! We once did a pony's hair during the ceremony!"

"Oh, it's true, it's true! They really are the best!" The calm yet gentleman's voice said. Both Matilda and Spa Ponies looked up and found Stephen Magnet lying down on the big hot tub. He smiled happily while looking at the donkey, "Matilda, I've just got to say, I already feel like we're family."

Matilda asked in surprise, "You do?"

"Of course! I'm Stephen Magnet, Cranky's best beast!"

"You're Stephen Magnet?"

"Well, what'd you expect, a bugbear? I've known Cranky forev-er! Surely he must have told you about the time he saved me from Flash Freeze Lake?"

"...You're Stephen Magnet." Matilda asked in shock and surprise while looking at Stephen. 

"Oh, I know, I know! Typical Cranky, to leave out minor details, like the fact that I'm, y'know, a sea monster, right?" Stephen laughed in amusement, "I just love that old burro!"

Matilda gulped in surprise. She'd never thought that Cranky had actually make a friend with a giant water serpent. Both Lotus Blossom and Aloe helped and combed her mane gently.

Matilda apologized, "I'm sorry, Stephen. I guess I assumed you were a pony. And I had no idea you had such adventures together."

Stephen Magnet smiled, "Oh, honey, you don't know the half of it! But let me tell you something. In all that we've been through together, the only thing he ever cared about was finding you."

"Really?"

"Well, that and a baldness cure."

Matilda sniffed and sobbed tearfully, "He is the sweetest thing, isn't he? All the stress I've put myself through. All the stress I've put him through. The only thing that matters is that we're together. The wedding isn't the important thing – the marriage is."

Stephen Magnet laughed in amusement, "Oh, goodness gracious. If you believe that, I have got a bridge to sell you! All these ponies traveling to Ponyville, putting on uncomfortable clothes, sitting through a long ceremony, you think any of them care about the marriage?" Matilda gulped while quivered in fear and concern as Stephen looked at her with his serious eyes, "Honey, the wedding is everything."

Matilda's teeth rattled wildly and frightfully. She realized even though that she and Cranky did fall in love with each other but they have to go through the wedding first. This is very serious for her to deal with...





At the Musical Home, DJ Pon 3 marched straight to it. She then entered as she found her best friend Octavia Melody was playing her cello. She was practicing and perfecting the soundtrack called 'Mendelssohn's 'Wedding March'. She played it peacefully and joyfully for the moment. DJ Pon 3 smiled proudly to see her best friend played her music proudly. She took a bottle of milk for a sip.

Octavia stopped at once while glaring at the music sheet, "Ugh, all these wedding songs are so... standard. I want Matilda and Cranky's wedding to be special."

Despite of that, Octavia Melody continued playing her cello. Heard her best friend complained, Dj Pon 3 stopped from drinking and had some thoughts of how to help Octavia in making wedding more special.

DJ Pon 3 gasped happily as she found the idea. She headed to her DJ Jockey Stand at once. She sat hers in ready to play the music while putting her headset on her left ear. She turned and gestured Octavia Melody to play the cello.

As Octavia continued playing the cello though ensure what her best friend was doing, DJ Pon 3 turned and rotated the black track disc slowly while stomping on the hoof pads for few times in making a harmonically sound. But instead of sound or gentle, it was very hard yet irritated too even to her. Octavia Melody stopped at once as she held her stick to DJ Pon 3.

"Thanks," Octavia Melody remarked in annoyance, "but I'm not sure that's appropriate for a wedding, is it?"

Octavia Melody then returned to her playing the cello. DJ Pon 3 knew what her best friend means as she decided to listen closely to the song carefully. She smiled happily as she found the answer. She then stomped on hoof pad once.

The beat sounded slowly yet gently as DJ Pon 3 then rotated the track disc slowly in making a similar yet powerful soundtrack as Octavia's Song. Octavia Melody listened carefully. She gasped happily as her best friend finally found the right song at last!

"That's more like it!"

Both Octavia Melody and DJ Pon 3 continued playing their cello and DJ Jockey Stand for the moment. The stopped before looked at each other. They both smiled eagerly as they waited for each other's signal. They both spun their disc and stick for the moment before they struck on their DJ Jockey and Cello in making 'Wedding March' Dubstep harmonically and powerfully.

For nearly an hour they played the music, Octavia Melody looked at the clock. She gasped in shock as she stopped her playing cello and turned to DJ Pon 3.

"Stop! I'm going to be late for the wedding!" Octavia Melody exclaimed in concern.

DJ Pon 3 nodded in understanding as she set her DJ Jockey with twin speakers on the four wheeler. Octavia Melody held her Cello tight as she climbed on right speaker at once. They both readied. They then charged straight out the door while playing their 'Wedding March' dubstep. They headed straight to the Town Hall at once!





At the Town Hall, more tanks have entered the area as they were about to fire their canon bullets at their enemies. But instead, Dragoking swung his tail and three heads in knocking them off while Laxtinct smashed and slammed his hardened hooves on them. Icy used her Ice Beams in turning them into frozen stage in letting Shorty Thinking and Tailtech fired their Flying Rocket Canister at them to pieces. Terrorcreep and Saber Dragoon swung their Night Terror Axes and Twin Dragon Sabers at some of Dark Mystic Troopers. Blazefist and Aquastroke fired their Fireball Shots and Water Torpedo Blast in defeating some of Dark Mystic Archers and Rifle-Ponies. Shadow Dragon dodged and avoided the attacks from Tyran for few times while punching and kicking at him back for few times.

Voltscar fired his Lightning Strike at Lance, Steel Blaze and Red Arsenal for the moment. Red Arsenal had his hoof transformed into his Diamond Sniper in knocking his helmet off. Steel Blaze fired his Blazing Glory Shots at Voltscar back for few times before Red Arsenal joined in and fired his dozens of arrows at the monster. Lance charged in as he swung his both Oblivion Dragoon Blade and Oathkeeper Bloom Blade in attacking him. Voltscar roared wildly as he summoned his Thundering Samurai Sword in deflecting and attacking his enemies. Avalanche grabbed and squeezed Grunt very hard. Grunt responded by firing his Wooden Strike on the monster's eyes. Metalgear launched his Hyper Emerald Beam at him off. Shiroi summoned couple pf ice in making the monster slip and fall to his back very hard. Avalanche roared in anger as he got and stomped on his enemies while they fired their abilities at him off. Gutsy blew his powerful Wind Blower at Boomer and Rob off. Rob turned and looked at the area carefully before giving a smirk as he threw a pole at the building but deflecting and knocking to one and another. It then hit Gutsy's head hard. Boomer charged in and swung his Dragon Spear in hitting him. Gutsy punched him back before he turned and slammed Rob out. Both Dragons battled with Gutsy hard and quick.

Twilight and her friends were battling with Bugbear. Rarity was grabbed by it as it flew and grabbed her Carousal Boutique in preventing its enemies attacking it. Both Twilight fired her magic and Rainbow Dash slammed on it for few times had made it dropped Rarity down. Applejack used her lasso in bringing the monster down hard before Rarity summoned her large strings and ropes in tying the monster down. Bugbear got up at once as it was ready to attack. Both Rarity and Pinkie fired their Diamond Gatling Blaster and Party Launcher in knocking him hard. Fluttershy used her Animal Ruby in punching and ramming it down hard. Bugbear flew up again. Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle used their Mystic Magical Spear and Star Sparkle Sword in beating him before Applejack used her Mind Whiplash in knocking the monster to the ground hard.





While Twilight and her friends were dealing with triple threats, Octavia Melody and DJ Pon 3 were driving the four-wheeled DJ Jockey in heading straight to Town Hall. As they continued driving, they came across the dead end with both left and right alley. DJ Pon 3 signaled Octavia about. Octavia Melody used her stick in grabbing the lamppost in turning them to left side.

Both Octavia and DJ Pon 3 came across with some ponies standing and getting their ways. Instead of avoiding them, they got the ponies up high including Matilda who was leading Cakes Family in bring the Wedding Cake to Town Hall. They all got on Octavia and DJ Pon 3's wheeled speakers. Instead of stopping, they all continued driving straight to the Town Hall at once.

Upon reaching the Town Hall, the ponies spotted Cranky Doodle Donkey was walking towards the hall. They called and screamed at him to move aside. He spotted it. He quickly moved aside before he get squashed but lost his wig during his maneuver. The ponies headed straight to the hall at once. But they were too near to it now! 

DJ Pon 3 stopped her DJ Jockey Wheels at once right in front of the steps, causing the ponies including herself out from the wheels. Everyone landed right inside of Town Hall. The invited ponies sat on their chairs. Both DJ Pon-3 and Octavia Melody stood on the musical stage on left side. Cakes Family and the wedding cake on right side. Everyone had gathered at town hall just in time.

Octavia Melody smiled as she held her cello tightly while looking at DJ Pon-3, "Something like that."

DJ Pon-3 smiled happily before putting her sunglasses up properly.

Both Royal Sisters were neared to the gift table. They smiled nervously to the passing-by ponies. They then glared at each other as they had small argument.

"What do you mean you left it on the counter?!" Princess Celestia demanded angrily.

Princess Luna argued, "I thought you were bringing it!"

Princess Celestia groaned angrily, "Well, this is just wonderful!"

The Royal Sisters stopped as they spotted Spike coming by. He placed the present on the table. They both smiled nervously at him. He turned and left them now. They then both glared at each other again.

Princess Luna glared at Princess Celestia, "I handled the gift for Cadance and Shining Armor! You were supposed to do this one, remember?"

Princess Celestia sighed in annoyance, "Well, we can't just come to this wedding empty-hoofed!"

"Don't you two ever learn how to be responsible?" The firmly voice spoke in annoyance. Both Royal Sisters turned and found Azure Phoenix, his family and officers had arrived. They were surprised. He sighed as he held some presents including Royal Sisters' on the table, "I don't even know why I have to clean your messes. You two are so hopeless and immature..."

Strikespell smirked and nodded his head, "Indeed, it is true. Things never change."

Royal Sisters groaned in annoyance, "Hey!"

Tao's Family and Shining Armor-Princess Cadance were sitting down on the wedding seats. Shining Armor was crying tearfully?!

"I did not see that coming..." Mighty Heart commented.

Jade nodded, "You'd tell me. I thought Stallions don't cry."

"It's alright. He always cries at weddings." Princess Cadance reassured her friends or family-in-law members. Shining Armor cried wildly and joyfully. She yelped in surprise. She continued, "...Usually it's not until the wedding starts."

Dragon Kick sighed while shaking his head, "Well, if his sister did married with my cousin. He will definitely cried for her being grown-up mare and have a husband especially when it is him."

"Don't even think about it! Shadow Dragon is not fit for her!" Shining Armor exclaimed in annoyance. He then cried and sobbed, "But I don't want to see her upset and sad! I just don't know if I can let her go and married with him when time has come!"

As Shining Armor cried tearfully, Tao sighed in annoyance, "And they said that I'm overprotective and worried too much for my son's future. But I'm certainly she is the right one for him, just like Iris Crystal was right for him. They both were connected as incarnation and reincarnation..."

Darpy was looking at the colorful flowers-like on the flower pots. After her unfortunate getting the flowers from Flower Sisters Trio, she decided to use Dr. Hooves's flowers instead. And she think them pretty and beautiful to be fit for the bridegroom and bride.

"These flameless fireworks look even better than flowers!" Derpy giggled happily. 

"Attention, everypony!" The happy and calm voice called. Everyone turned to the entrance where Sweetie Drops or Bon-Bon was standing. She took her sunglasses down, "Our friends have done it! They've defeated the bugbear, Dark Mystic Rebels and Demon Successors!"

Everyone cheered wildly and happily. They knew and believed Twilight and her friends have defeated their enemies or monsters. They always do because they saved the Equestria especially learning the Friendship Lessons for few times.

As Sweetie Drops approached to her best friends Lyra Heartstrings, the latter ignored and looked to the front. Lyra was still upset and angry with Sweetie Drops for keeping her secret life and truth from her.

Sweetie Drops sighed as she greeted to Lyra, "Hey."

Lyra Heartstrings huffed, "Hello."

"So, uh, you didn't happen to mention our earlier conversation about my-" Sweetie Drops gritted her teeth while whispered softly to her best friend, "- secret identity -" She spoke calmly, "- to anypony, did you?"

"No. I did not." Lyra Heartstrings answered angrily. Sweetie Drops looked down in shame and upset that her best friend refused to look at her eye. Lyra Heartstrings turned and glared at Sweetie Drops, "And you're not the only one with a secret, y'know. You know those expensive imported oats you were saving for a special occasion? I cooked them up and ate them! All of them!" 

Sweetie Drops was stunned and surprised of what she heard! Instead of showing upset and angry, she smiled as she knew that she wasn't the only pony who has the secret. And so did her best friend.

Lyra Heartstrings laughed happily, "It's sort of thrilling to reveal your deepest, darkest secrets!"

Sweetie Drops laughed as well, "That's what best friends are for."

As Lyra and Sweetie Drops hugged happily and passionately like sisters, everypony had arrived and sat on their seats. The wedding is about to start. Azure Phoenix and his family had taken their seats, along with the angry and upset Princess Celestia and Princess Luna sat close to the former.

"Next time, you can just bring your own gift, and I'll bring mine." Princess Celestia hushed angrily at her own sister.

Princess Luna sighed, "Fine."

Azure Phoenix sighed in annoyance, "You two never learn, now do you?" Both Royal Sisters huffed angrily as they looked away. He shook his head in annoyance, "I'd never know why I bothered about this..."

Derpy was about to close the door since there wasn't anyone else coming in now.

"There you are!" The voice called. Derpy turned and found Dr. Hooves worn the long colorful scarf-like running straight to the town hall. He stopped as he breathed heavily, "My suit has vanished and this was the only thing left in my closet! How do I look?"

Derpy smiled as she hugged Dr. Hooves passionately, "Like a million bits!"

Dr. Hooves smiled happily to have a good friend. Before he could do or said anything, he gasped as he found ponies have gathered inside the hall.

"Great whickering stallions, look at the time! We'd better get inside. Allons-y!"

Dr. Hooves marched into the hall. Everyone chatted happily as they all can't wait to see Cranky and Matilda getting married. But not all were happy. 

Cranky Doodle Donkey lost his wig again. He is now bald. His 'serpent friend' Stephen Magnet was waiting from the outside of window had watched the event.

"I can't believe I lost my hair! I look ridiculous." Cranky complained angrily, "The love of my life deserves better than this!"

"Have no fear, Cranky, my dear. It's Stephen Magnet's mustache to the rescue!" Stephen Magnet said calmly and gracefully.

Stephen took his scale out while his right finger rolled and twisted his mustache. He cut his right side out. He placed the cutting one on Cranky's bald. He then combed a bit and put a gentle and good smell on it.

Cranky Doodle Donkey smiled, "Aw, thanks, buddy."

"Oh, no problem." Stephen smiled happily as he held and nuzzled his old buddy. He then moved Cranky to the front at once, "Now you get in there and marry that donkey!"

Cranky Doodle Donkey moved to the front of wedding stand where Matilda stands in front of him. He smiled nervously. It is time...

"Well, is everypony here?" Mayor Mare asked curiously.

After finishing the fight with Bug-Bear, Mane Six charged straight to the town hall as they were about to enter. But instead, the door slammed and closed them out.

Derpy smiled, "All set, Mayor!"

Mayor Mare began her oath of marriage between donkeys, "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join these two in mare-trimony. As I look around this room," She looked at the nervous Cranky, 
I can only imagine how uncomfortable Cranky must be."

The ponies laughed amusingly while Cranky grumbled in annoyance to hear that from Mayor Mare.

Mayor Mare continued, "But I also see so many ponies from all trots of life, brought together by love." 

Shining Armor put his hoof over Princess Cadance before hugged her while Tao and his family smiled happily and passionately to hear that.

"Cranky searched all across this great land of ours to find Matilda, and no matter what obstacles kept them apart, love would finally bring them together, just as it has brought all of us together now." 

The Royal Sisters smiled as they realized and knew that Mayor Mare spoke the truth. They both smiled as they held each other's hooves while looking calmly and gently. Azure Phoenix smiled happily to see two sisters patched things up.

"It's remarkable to me how a story like Cranky's search for Matilda could fill this room with such a unique collection of ponies! It makes you realize that everypony is the star of their own story. And it's not just the main characters in our stories that make life so rich! It's everypony – those who play big parts and those who play small." 

Mayor Mare looked around her surroundings of Town Hall. She smiled happily to see many different yet familiar ponies sitting on their seats before her.

"If it weren't for everypony in this room and many more who couldn't be here today, Cranky and Matilda's lives wouldn't be as full and vibrant as they are."

Stephen Magnet cried tearfully yet joyfully as he grabbed and hugged Bulk Biceps hard like holding a teddy bear.

"And so, in front of all these loved ones..." Mayor Mare turned to Cranky, "Cranky, do you take this donkey to be your lawfully wedded wife?

Cranky smiled, "You bet I do!"

Mayor Mare turned to Matilda as she smiled, "And do you, Matilda, take this donkey to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

Matilda sobbed tearfully yet joyfully, "I do!"

Mayor Mare smiled, "Then I'm proud to say, I now pronounce you jack and jenny!"

Cranky and Matilda leaned and and kissed each other's lips passionately and happily. The ponies cheered wildly and happily as they gave the applause for the married donkey couples to be wedded. Suddenly, the flameless firework flowers reacted strangely as if something had triggered them. Dr. Hooves noticed it.

And before anyone could do anything, they shoot straight to the sky and exploded like fireworks magically and beautifully. Everyone awed happily to see how beautiful the fireworks are.

Dr. Hooves laughed happily as he held Rose's head up while looking at her with happy and surprise looks, "Of course! They need love to ignite! How could I have missed it?!"

Everyone smiled happily to see it...





Mane Six saw everything from outside, despite unable to enter the wedding in time. They awed and smiled happily to see how beautiful and great the wedding is and especially the donkeys' wedding.

"You know something, girls?" Twilight said happily as she turned and looked at the town. The rest of Mane Six turned and looked at her. She continued, "We are so lucky to live in this town."

Her friends approached to Twilight Sparkle. They all smiled in agreement. Twilight then have her hooves grabbed and hugged them passionately and happily.

"I love you all!"

"Ow!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed painfully, "That's where the bugbear bit me!"

Twilight Sparkle smiled sheepishly, "Sorry!"

Both Dragon Strike Force and Black Omega came and meet up with the Mane Six. They noticed that the girls were outside as they realized of what was going on.

"I guess we missed," Shadow Dragon asked in surprise.

Twilight Sparkle shrugged as she approached and nuzzled Shadow Dragon, "But we didn't miss this."

Shadow Dragon blushed a bit as he nuzzled Twilight Sparkle back. Everyone watched the couples nuzzled each other while laughed a bit to see them to be together. This never gets old...

The End...
