Fluttershy has a very difficult question to ask Twilight Sparkle. A simple question, it seems, but first, she has to...

Wow, that was pretty funny! I like how every single scene had something happening in it, as well as the fact we don't know what Fluttershy is talking about.
(I'm going to assume she's a changeling)

This bandwagon's wheels must be buckling by now, as many people as there are on it...

I found this a highly amusing story, what with everything in the universe getting in Fluttershy's way, but some minor grammar problems made the text a little sloppy to read. A few missing commas[1], some instances where the speakers don't get a new paragraph[2], dangling words[3], etc. Also, your ellipses are all over the place. Whatever you do, make your ellipsis use consistent. And you should never need more than four. Any number higher than that is overkill; it's the ellipsis counterpart of using multiple exclamation points.

[1] “You say something Fluttershy?” Rainbow Dash asked her.
[2] The paragraph at the wedding reception
[3] 'So “Yes,” Fluttershy said'

Rainbow's dialog was intended to be sloppy, but I do miss commas a lot so please do let me know. [2] I wouldn't characterize as a problem so much as a neurotic complex. I can't comprehend how anyone else always remembers not to put two speakers in the same paragraph! [3] could use a ...comma I guess? None of those words are superfluous.

Anyway, fixed. Thanks.

And the reason I use so many ellipses... is... um, well... it's because... I... ..........

That little "so" tucked in there seemed like a copy-paste mistake, which is why I said it seemed superfluous. But if you want it there, then yeah, it should have a comma.
