Epilogue
"So, then I was like, 'If you seriously try to make the wedding rainbow colored, then I'm not letting you choose the cake.'"
"Yeeah. So, now I'm just letting Dash take a chunk of the decisions," you say, sipping a cup of tea.
You and Rainbow sit side-by-side, your arm around her on Twilight's couch. The purple princess listens intently, twisting and turning in her seat from excitement. Spike stares off into the distance, clearly tuned out.
"It's hard to believe that it's all coming together, you know?" Dash continues. "I mean, sure, we've only dated-dated for three months or so... but everything just feels right."
"And the two of you were friends for years before you even started going out," Twilight said. "In fact, didn't I introduce you two?"
"Yeah, as I recall it," you say. "You had quite the interest in studying my anatomy."
You snicker to yourself as Dash shoots Twilight a dirty look. Twilight raises her hooves in defense.
"For SCIENCE! PURELY FOR SCIENCE. Plus, the situation changed once I realized Anon could, you know. Talk."
"Lucky I'm not a mute then. Everything woulda been completely different."
"And, well, speaking of introducing us, Twilight," Dash says. "I did... want to ask you something."
Twilight sets down her tea, her curiosity peaked.
"Of course! Anything."
You look down to Rainbow and smile brightly, she looks back up at you with a wide grin before looking back to Twilight.
"We wanted to know if you'd like to be the best mare," Dash asks.
Twilight's eyes light up and her wings expand at full speed, knocking Spike off the couch and onto the floor.
"Oh I'd love to!" she exclaims. "Oh! Dash, we have so many things to plan. And a bachelorette party!"
You smile to yourself and shake your head.
"Hey Spike, wanna leave these mares alone so we can plan?" you ask the dragon, who's rubbing his head.
"Pleeease!" he says a bit too loudly, and earns a look of scorn from Twilight. "I-I mean. Sure! We have a bachelor party to plan anyway! I do have experience in such things."
You plant a gentle kiss on Dash's forehead and rise to your feet.
"Don't get too crazy, girls," you say on your way out the door as the baby dragon follows you into a hallway of Twilight's castle.
Once the door closes, Spike exhales loudly.
"Thank you SO much for getting me out of there. I HATE wedding planning so much. You should have seen what it was like with Cadance and Shining Armor. An utter disaster!"
"It's a little different when your wedding is the one on the line," you say to him with a chuckle. "You'll figure it out eventually."
"Speaking of figuring it out," he says, turning down a hallway toward the kitchen. "How did you figure out Dash was into you anyway? I had no idea."
You laugh to yourself, and Spike doesn't seem to appreciate your reaction.
"Why does it matter?" you ask.
"Well, you know," he says, fiddling with his tail. "I dunno. I guess it's easy to get wrapped up thinking stupid stuff sometimes."
"Stupid stuff?" you ask, "Like what?"
Spike sighs to himself and drops his tail.
"You know. Like, if you can't figure out if somepony likes you... then you might have nopony to spend the rest of your life with, and be alone."
You reach a hand out and rustle the dragon's scales on his head.
"Honestly, buddy? I was in the same boat at one point. But I can say from experience, you don't need to worry about it."
He looks up to you, concerned.
"Not worry about it?" Spike asks. "But how will I ever find somepony special?"
You scratch the back of your head, thinking of the best way to form your thoughts into words.
"Honestly, man. Just be yourself. Do the stuff you love. Do things that make you happy. And when the time is right, someone will stumble into your life that's attracted by that happiness and who you are. Books can't tell you how to find the love of your life. But they can help teach you who you are, and how to love yourself. Life has a funny way of making romance work. It'll make a story for you that so wonderful, you'd think it was it's own movie. But you have to be patient. Trying to rush it will just make you hurt in the end."
The dragon scratches his chin, pondering your words. A silence hangs in the air as the two of you step into the kitchen.
"Honestly? I was stupid and had no idea. Dash kinda just leapt all over me."
"Gross," Spike says.
"Right?" you add as a joke. "Ponies, right?"
"Oh well, I suppose I just gotta be patient, right?" Spike says.
"Yep!" you say. "That's the moral here."
"In that case, I have one last question," Spike says, leaning against a wall. "Do you prefer a video game bachelor party, or a night of Ogres & Oubliettes?"
With a nervous chuckle, you kneel beside the dragon and give him a sinister glance.
"I got something better,"you say. "You get the guys, I'll bring the cinnamon apples."

Will there be a sequel?
omg that was great! it had the perfect cheesy rom-com ending too! you clever man you!
7592142
Right? That's the real crime in this story.
RIP Ice Cream 2016-2016
7592146 Dude, ice cream is, like, $7 a gallon. I'd be pissed.
7592182 Where the hell do you live where it costs only $7 for a fucking GALLON of Ice cream?! That's cheap as hell compared to fucking $23 here...
7592210 $23?! Are you screwing with me or do you live in Hawaii?
Great finish, definitely one of the best rom-coms on the website. You've certainly secured a fav from me.
Now to sit around waiting for a sequel.
7592221 Well if you want the good stuff it's going to be $23 or so in DC. Otherwise, you're looking at $10 or some more for the same amount of ice cream in one gallon.
Celestia-dammit it ended so perfectly, but I still want more. I love it too much!!!
7592245 That had better be some orgasmic ice cream to warrant that price tag, mate.
7592262 It's a local milked and made farm area, over in Virginia, and sometimes they come over to the DC area. Their ciders are the bomb as well.
7592262
Up here in Canada, if we want ice cream, we just mix milk and flavor into a bucket and leave it outside the igloo for about 10 minutes.
Fucking. Perfect. 10/10
Okay its been to long... someone remind me what the cinnamon apples are about!?
THIS. WAS. AWESOME!!
You do realize that Pencil's going to downvote this for the lack of flayed Spike, right?
Happy endings for all! Loved it!
Honestly? A bit drawn out than it should be, about one chapter too long. I also think a few chapters could be slapped together but I knew you wanted to do a chapter a day.
Apart from that gr8 m8 I r8 8/10
Awesome man
7592303 They're an alcoholic cocktail that Dash introduced "you" to.

I can't upvote more than once, therefore this story is denied the praise I feel it deserves. Great stuff!
Nice
*Spoiler Alert* This story is actually a tragedy due to the loss of ice cream! May they Rest In Peace rip
Bravo. Simply Bravo.
I loved following this story and I really hope you write more like it in the future. And the execution? Flawless.
Loved It And I Would Love See More
7592146
Bravo Priest, bravo.
You took your time in doing this and it showed in the quality of the storytelling.
You got a like and a thumbs up!
Im fine with this ending. Thanks for the story.
Priest. This was wonderful. I enjoyed this story from start to finish. I can't wait to read more fluffy feels from you~
well I would like more from this story.
I know they kind of have their backstory, but something this long, is usually to short for me, since I'm kind of used to bigger storys.
The timeskip in the end wasn't to bad, but it takes a little bit away of the fun to see them dating if there would be a sequel.
I give it it's upvote, I just can't decide if the length of the story makes it one of my favourites, or how I call it "still favourites".
I just put storys in that folder, that are great but somehow are missing something in my eyes. I still have to think about it.
Very nice!
I loved this story so much man! It's amazing and I love all of your romance fics. I can't wait for you to continue some other ones, but y'know. This story was what brought me to you, because Dashie. Thanks for this though!
that was fun!
Spike has a good idea of a Video game bachelor party. A night of nothing but drinking and fighting each other in virtual worlds.
D'aaawwww, it warms the empty socket where my heart used to be.
Very nice, very classic. Cool story bro, tell us a new one! This is the lighthearted side of fimfic I'm here for.
7593313 you might want to get that checked out. Energy burns from arcing power contacts can be a serious detriment to future systems' operations. That's why so many villain plans fail...inefficiently misdirected energy!
7592363 Nah, I think she'll appreciate the casual disregard of his wellbeing by pushing him off the couch enough to forgive the lack of mutilation.
Maybe it would have looked a little like this?
7593877 It was more like a figurative statement about the death of hope and the horror of utter, all-encompassing loneliness that is my life than a factual statement of part malfunctions.
Rassen frassen.... Like button.... Stupid thing... No let me like at least... At least... 10,000 times!!!
The ending was so cheesy that I fear I might have become lactose intolerant. :D That means you have done a great job. :)
Completely adorable!
That was a quick wedding. Then again, romance indeed works in funny ways - there are certainly couples who got married far, far faster
Still though, thanks for this amusing yet sweet read!
I am so hating FimFiction right now!
I only just found out about this! I should have been told! I'm writing a complaint!
Srsly tho, I'm so glad. This is amazing.
Awesome story! We need more this kind of fic.
Could you potentially do a continuation of this story, sort of an offshoot that tells of life after the Wedding. That would be quite entertaining. Many thanks, I really enjoyed the story, I'll definitely be following the development of many others
How anon explained love to Spike made me think exactly of something Dan Avidan would say, and I loved it. Wonderful read, beginning to end!
First off, I typically don't read stories if any of the chapters are shorter than 2k words, simply for the reason I like to be reading for a while before it comes to the next chapter. throughout my time as a writer I've tried to up my minimum word count from 2k eventually to 5k, with some stories being at 6 or 7k. That isn't to say however, that your story was by ANY means bad, in fact, I'm glad i chose to go against my personal preferences, as this was legitimately a great story. I honestly give it 10/10, as I can't really find ANYTHING to complain about. The chapters, while short, were consistent on how long it took for an update, not to mention, the grammar, dialogue, and story line are all pretty solid. It's a short story that is sweet and hits the reader; I'm talking not only about myself, but looking through the other commenters as well.
Personally I like to write romance stories (even if I don't personally have a romantic interest...), and while this was a roller coaster and it did have sappiness to it, I loved how it was written. I honestly hadn't expected a few things as I was reading, and there were those moments where even I had to cover my eyes, chuckle, shake my head, then go back to reading. It is these kind of stories that give me ideas and inspiration to continue my own works, so I do have to say thank you; Luna's Week Off hasn't received ANY work for a while, yet your story, while giving different variations to what I had planned, gave me a fresh outlook in a different angle.
I will be seeing what other stories you have written, and I will continue to wait to see if you ever make new stories that catch my interest, and while I would like to say I'd like to see you do a Luna version of this story... well, I'm already doing that. lol.
Your story was just amazing, through and through. Romance, suspense, love, anger, regret, depression, and booze! You sir... well, I will say without hesitation, you put even a few of my stories to utter shame, and I wish I had done half as good on a few others as you did with this work of art.
I wish I could link some funny links to accent this comment how so many others have done, but I don't really do that quite so well... (lol, Longhorn in 'Talk' did it just perfectly. The Darth Vader 'nooo' sealed the deal.) Instead, I have something that while funny, doesn't quite go with the story;
7603398
Thank you my friend, good luck with your own work. :) If you'd like to see me tackle Luna, I'd suggest "Dreamscape"
7603676 lol, I already read it. And it was just as amazing!
