You might be more alike than you think... your father really liked getting stoned, and you get along best with stones...
... I can let myself out.

Get your Permit A38 ready!
To Maud:
Ms Pie, what was the weirdest dream that you ever had?
6282534
Maud: That Marble and I formed a rock band.
So he looked into the future, saw Maud say they should get married, then he met his father, had Maud ask to marry him, and then saw his mother?
6282563
No.
You are putting the events out of order.
Tarnish is speaking in hindsight.
His mother told him about his father. There was that first night back in Ponyville. He met his father. Marriage proposal. Tarnish looks back on everything as a whole, makes a small leap of maturity, and decides to do the right thing.
6282613 He said after he had the idea proposed, that he had some doubts. But, after meeting with his father, and mother good doubts were gone.
6282626
In this sense, he is speaking in hindsight, having reflected upon the events of the day. Look at the breaks in the sentence. It's fragmented, because that's how people get under a lot of stress.
"And having met my father, after I took some time to think about it, I realised he was a colossal dickhead."
There's the hindsight, spoken as a fragment, inserted mid-sentence. A little clearer now?
6282657 I understood that it probably was on hindsight. However, the way he phrased it made it sound like he was talking past tense, but after he was proposed to.
6282675
That's the struggle.
Making dialogue true to character. Clean concise language is easy to read, but nobody talks like that. People speak in muddled chunks of speaking to others and speaking their thoughts when under stress.
6282710 That's true. I always like how you are able to put words in good thoughts, and make it sound like they were actually coming from that character.
Mayor Mare: no, no no no, I'm sorry, no marriages today. Full docket, you'll have to make an appointment.
Maud: That's strange. Your day planner just went through your office desk, into your office wall, through the support beam, through the concrete wall of the town hall, and it currently on it's way to the Everfree Forest just under Mach speed. Are you sure there's no availability? How would you know?
Tarnish: Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaud
Pinkie: YAY! REBUILD THE TOWN HALL FOR THE FIFTH TIME THIS MONTH PARTY!
Mayor Mare: How does 2:30 sound? Eh heh.
Thatch is cheap, and given Ponyville's architectural turnover rate, it's better to build an easily replaceable structure than a sturdy one. Sturdiness in Ponyville is just daring Murphy to do his worst.
I have to wonder what would happen if Maud got Harmonized. She doesn't seem irredeemable, but she'd probably enjoy being petrified. Hmm...
In any case, it seems that the Dude cannot abide. Good riddance. There is more to life than bowling, rugs, and White horse-Russians. If he can't see that, if he refuses to accept that some forms of responsibility are more than the system trying to bring him down, then he doesn't deserve the happiness he could've found. Of course, there's the question of whether he'd want that form of happiness, or if it would even make him happy.
Eh, whatever. Better that he put out of mind, especially if there's red tape to deal with. Though I wouldn't be surprised if Pinkie knows the marriage statues backwards and forwards, the better to expedite the party.
Another awesome chapter dude, nice job on this!
Haha!
Your dad sucks Tarnish... I want you to know that.
I feel your pain.
//sobs//
NIce job, keep it up.
Bureaucracy? Ugh.
Bureaucracy???
Say it ain't so!
I always had trouble spelling "bureau" until I decided it stood for "urea in bad underwear."
My Pinkie might be able to overcome Maud one-on-one, but it would be an incredibly dangerous thing for her to do if Maud was in full-on berserker mode, and it would mostly involve using her own powers to avoid getting killed long enough to pull Maud into hyperspace. The problem, then, would be calming Maud down enough to let her out again. It would be much safer with the rest of the Elements and Princesses helping her. Another problem would be keeping Maud from doing too much incidental damage to her surroundings while this was being accomplished.
Maud is a very calm Pony, and she does not like to fight at all. Still less does she like to go berserk. One time when this happened in the Shadow Wars Story Verse, Maud slew an attacking, full-grown Dragon who was augmented by merging with a Shadow. She took his full-strength breath weapon with only the loss of her attire and hair, and proceeded to punch his head off its vertebral column. The fight took place in the gorge at the base of which lies their quarry -- there's a crater in one of the walls of the quarry, where the Dragon's corpse collided with the rock and shattered much of it.
My Maud is fundamentally a gentle, contemplative intellectual who deals with normal anger through laconic sarcasm. My Maud furious is something you don't want to be near.
*Lazarus left the room at the word Bureaucracy.*
*He will be back.*

*Hangs a paper on the door*
*It reads Bureaucracy*
No he won't.
I know. And they'll never see it coming, either. Everyone knows that Trogdor comes in the night.
7180952 It's probably because it's cheap. They're expecting a disaster to happen to destroy it again, which means that they use cheap material. Despite the fact that often times more expensive material can save costs in the long term. You see that a lot in areas where natural disasters hit a lot.
7717230 it could also be ease of replacing
If they disaster happen often they might not have the time to install strong roofs witch would take more time to install but the cheap one are easy to install
Most authors like to know why people vote the way they do, especially for down votes.
I have not voted on this story yet.
This chapter makes me consider upvoting (rather than downvoting) this story despite Tarnish and Maud not waiting until they were married and the apparent legality of prostitution in at least one Equestrian city. To me Equestria is supposed to be much better morally than real life.
I shall continue to ponder as I read.
In Love and Tolerance,
Draco Dei
EDIT: With the sequel as a tie-breaker I have elected to down-vote.
I never saw the Big Lebowski so I always felt uncomfortable with this part of the story.
Jeff was a pony that made a deal with another pony, at the other pony's insistence, if I read this correctly, and upheld his side of the bargain throughout.

While i completly repect your own opinion
I get it i love marvel more then dc cus its more fun and magical
But i also love the pony storys that get dark and involved in mindfuckery as I love seeing interpertations of the mind under pressure as it starts to crack and dissolve into madness
In my opnion prostitution being legal is a more idealised reality compared to my own as it promotes the value of freedom
Lastly do you realy think its fair to judge this story based on the next sure its the same series but its a different instalment with a seprate scale of likes and dislike
Its like everyone loved sword art online but your not gona hate on the first season over the shitshow that was gungail and in most opinions alfhiem
