Limestone's Wedding: Rehearsal Day
SURPRISE! It's time for the wedding! 
Sorry if the time skip seems a little too jarring from the last chapter... I intended on the wedding chapter to be a complete surprise 
"I'm SO EXCITED! Are you excited, cause I'm excited!" Pinkie yelled to Marble, who was seated next to her.
"Oh yes, I'm very excited," Marble replied, smiling at her sister. "I know it'll be perfect."
"It'll be even better with some classic Apple family treats!" Applejack piped up from the seat across from the sisters. "Ah know everypony will love 'em!"
Apple Bloom, who was next to Applejack, bounced in her seat. "Yeah! They'll especially like me and Granny's apple pies!"
Granny, who was in the seat right behind Apple Bloom, put a hoof on her shoulder. "Honey, they'll hopefully enjoy everythin' equally. We all put in a lot of time and effort... isn't that right, Big Mac?"
"Eeyup." Big Mac replied as he took a bite of a muffin he took before leaving Ponyville.
Twilight stood up from her seat and started pacing. Applejack took immediate notice of her nervous friend.
"What's wrong, Twi?" She asked as Twilight looked back to Applejack, her pupils small.
"I've never wed a pony before!" She said, her voice rising as she continued to pace at a now quicker speed. "What if I stutter? What if I say the wrong thing? What if I-"
"Twi, the mayor taught ya the lines to wed ponies, and ya'll practiced for at least an hour to get it all perfect. I'm sure you'll do fine."
Twilight grabbed Applejack's face in her hooves. "Applejack, this isn't something that can be redone! This is a wedding! Limestone and her fiancé won't get another shot at this, so it has to be perfect!"
Applejack pushed Twilight away. "You'll do perfectly fine, Twi."
Twilight took a few deep breaths. "Thank you, Applejack. And I sure hope so." She finished with a nervous laugh. She took another breath before sitting in her seat behind Pinkie and Marble and across from their parents, who looked quite happy.
A few more minutes passed by before a yell echoed throughout the train.
"Look! We're in Vanhoover!" Pinkie yelled as she got out of her seat and started bouncing.
Marble looked out the window, a smile spread across her lips. "I haven't been here since the bridal shower a month ago."
Pinkie shook Marble in excitement. "I know! And now we're here for the real thing!" She replied as she hugged her sister very tight. Marble tried pushing out from Pinkie's grip, but gave in when she realized her efforts were hopeless.
The train pulled to a stop as Pinkie shot towards the door, jumping onto the station and blowing her party cannon.
"IT'S WEDDING TIME!" She shouted at the top of her lungs, earning quite a few looks from other ponies at the station. She trotted over to the edge of the station, motioning for everypony else to follow. It looked like Twilight was a bit hesitant because of all the nerves, but she shrugged it off and continued. When everypony caught up with Pinkie, she took the lead and held her head high.
"I know exactly where we need to go! Follow me!" She replied as she bounded away, leaving everyone else slightly behind.
"Ahem!" Twilight yelled to her friend, levitating Pinkie's dress in her magic.
Pinkie giggled as she walked over to Twilight, taking the dress. "Oh, whoopsie! I completely forgot about that!" She replied as she draped the dress over her back.
"Don't get that dress dirty, sugarcube; Rarity will beat ya to a pulp," Applejack warned as she made sure her own dress wouldn't get dirty.
"I know, I know." Pinkie replied as she stuck her tongue out. "Now, let's get to that park!"
Limestone stood at the entrance of the park, waiting for everypony else to enter. There were already a few ponies already there chattering. Limestone knew her family was coming with Twilight and the Apples in tow, so they might be a little while.
She blinked as she saw a blue, shimmering coat in the distance. She then saw Maud; her dress on her back. She smiled and waved to the upcoming couple.
"Maud! Hey!" She greeted as Maud picked up the pace, the crystal stallion Limestone guessed was Crystal Geode following behind.
"Hello, Limestone. How are-"
"MAUD!" A voice yelled beside her. Maud was wrapped in a strong hug from Pinkie. Pinkie then looked to Geode and smiled. "Hey there, Crystal! I forgot you were gonna show up!" Pinkie said.
Limestone looked at the stallion. "Oh, so you are Crystal Geode!"
Crystal nodded. "Yeah..."
"I've been hearing a lot about you. It's nice to meet you," Limestone said as they shook hooves.
"I agree. It's nice to finally be able to meet thee," a deep voice greeted, causing Geode's head to turn. Igneous Rock and Cloudy Quartz were looking at him, smiling.
Maud looked to her parents. "Geode, these are my parents."
Geode immediately locked up, like he was afraid of every move he made being wrong. Cloudy smiled.
"Oh, don't be nervous. Maud has told us many positive things about you. I am Cloudy Quartz," she greeted, shaking his hoof.
"And I am Igneous Rock Pie," Igneous chimed in, shaking Crystal's hoof as well.
"I hope we'll get to spend more time with you later today or tomorrow, but for now, we have a daughter to congratulate," Cloudy said as she turned to Limestone. "Hello, soon-to-be-married-daughter," she said, her voice brightening.
Limestone smiled. "Hey, mom." She replied as her mom pulled her into a hug.
"GROUP HUG!" Pinkie burst as she wrapped everypony in a large hug. She then let them all go as Twilight walked up to Limestone.
"When is the rehearsal, Limestone?" Twilight asked as Limestone stiffened.
"It's in about two hours, your highness!" She replied, earning a giggle from Twilight.
"Limestone, remember what I told you when you visited Ponyville? You can just call me Twilight," she replied as Limestone blinked.
"Uh... oh yeah! Thanks, Twilight." She then stepped back. "Everyone, step inside. There are drinks and snacks on the table." She finished as everyone entered the park. Everyone was gathered in an open area of the park, a ways away from where the ceremony will take place.
"Hey! Limestone!" Sapphire called over. Limestone looked over and trotted over. "Are you done welcoming everypony?"
Limestone nodded. "Yep! Everyone that is supposed to appear for the rehearsal is here!"
Sapphire handed a cup of punch to her friend. "Take this before the stallions come over and drink everything!" She demanded. She gave the punch to Limestone, but looked over in confusion to Speed Blast. "Speed? I was certain you would add some snarky comment to that statement I made!"
Speed Blast looked over to Sapphire. "What?"
Sapphire face-hoofed. "Goodness, you weren't even listening? What's got you so distracted?"
Speed looked away, a blush crawling up her face. Sapphire smirked.
"I know. You see somepony cute out there! Hold on, I'll look to see who caught your eye!"
Speed perked up. "Sapphire, you're a lesbian, you're not gonna admit to finding a cute stallion."
Sapphire snorted and patted her friend on the shoulder. "Yep, you're definitely back to normal! And I can find a cutie more easily than you think." She then scanned the crowed. After a few seconds, she erupted into laughter, falling back onto her seat.
"What is it?" Limestone asked as Sapphire tried sitting up.
"Limestone, you are evil!" She replied. Speed was looking away and blushing madly at her friend, who was still laughing.
Limestone lifted an eyebrow. "What? I'm really confused."
Sapphire controlled herself. "You invited Speed's crush! Goodness, I'm gonna have to give you an award!" She replied before laughing again.
Limestone looked to Speed in confusion, who was trying to distract herself with another cup of punch. "Wait, what? Who do you have a crush on?"
Sapphire pointed a hoof into the crowd. Limestone followed it, seeing it landing on Crystal Geode... who was conversing with Pinkie Pie, who seemed to be talking about something really confusing.
Limestone blinked. "Uh..."
Sapphire took a sip of her drink. "I had no idea you two were friends!"
Limestone looked back. "Uh... I only know him because..."
Sapphire leaned closer, Speed still looking away in confusion. "Yes?"
"Um... he's... my sister's coltfriend." She finished as she quickly reached for her cup and took a long sip, hoping to avoid the looks her friends were surely giving her.
"Oh, CRACKERJACKS!" Speed yelled out as she downed her punch, earning a few looks of confusion from the ponies. "This is the fifth time this has happened to me!" She finished while taking a cookie and jamming it into her mouth.
"Uh..." Limestone mustered out.
"Speed, I'm still sorry about the time with me and Dynamo," Sapphire said, scratching the back of her neck.
Limestone raised an eyebrow. "Dynamo?"
After Speed finished chewing, she answered. "Yeah. I had a huge crush on a guy named Dynamo, and then he got into a very short relationship with Sapphire."
Limestone looked to Sapphire in confusion. "Wait, but aren't you-"
Sapphire rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I'm a lesbian. I figured out I don't like stallions because of him. He was a huge jerk."
Speed nudged her friend. "Good thing you went out with him to tell me how bad he was. I instantly got over him. So why are you still sorry about it?" She asked.
Sapphire bit her lip. "Because you hid in your room for days after our date."
Speed rolled her eyes. "Oh yeah. I remember that. Geez, I was really dramatic now that I think about it..."
Limestone raised an eyebrow, confused on why Speed had a bright smile on her face. "Speed... how are you suddenly so happy?"
Speed giggled. "Limestone, I didn't have a huge crush on Crystal Geode. It was just... an attraction, I think. So, I don't care that he has somepony else. I was just mad because at first I thought that I could have a chance with him. I'm used to it."
Limestone's ear flicked. "You don't... seem to have a good experience with love."
Speed shook her head. "Nope. I went out with a stallion once, but I didn't have the best experience."
As Limestone was about to respond, a decoration that was originally hanging from the trees roughly hit Speed in the back of the head.
"WHAT THE F-"
"Throw it back!" A voice soon distinguished as Cloud Warrior's called over. Speed rolled her eyes.
"Goodness, you swines! Pinkie took forever putting all this up!"
Pinkie soon emerged from the crowd. "Come on, Speedy! Don't be a party pooper! We were playing with that!" She exclaimed, waving her arms.
Speed blinked. "Well, if Pinkie's playing with her own decorations... okay!" She threw it back before hovering over. "I'll join in too!" She said, earning pats on the back from some of her stallion friends.
"Well, if you're joining, then I'll leave," Lightning said as he took his leave from the game. Speed pouted.
"Oh, come on, Groomy!" She called as Lightning rolled his eyes.
"I'll play in a minute if you stop calling me that."
Speed thought. "Well... nope! I would rather bug you with that name all day tomorrow!" She replied as she threw the decoration to Stormy Night, who hit it to Pinkie. Pinkie spiked it to Brave Flight, and the game continued on.
Lightning walked up to Limestone, taking a seat next to her. Limestone smiled at him before looking to the ponies tossing the decoration to each other.
"We have a great group of loveable idiots as friends," she said, earning snickers from Sapphire and Lightning.
Lightning nudged her. "Hey, if they weren't idiots, they wouldn't be my friends."
Limestone jabbed him with her elbow. "So what does that make you?"
Lightning tapped the ring on Limestone's hoof. "Your idiot."
"If you guys get any cuter, I'm gonna crap cats," Speed said with a smirk, picking up the decoration that had flown next to the couple from their game.
"Thank you so very much for that comment, Speed," Lightning replied as he whapped Speed across the head. Sapphire put her head in her hooves and sighed at her friend's behavior.
"Everypony!" Twilight's voice boomed over the group, catching everyone's ears. "Get in your positions, cause we're gonna start with the rehearsal!" She finished. Chatter erupted again as everyone migrated to the wedding spot.
Limestone stood up. "That's our cue, Lightning. Don't mess it up," Limestone said with a smirk as Lightning rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, like I'm going to somehow fall over on solid ground," he answered, standing up.
"I dunno, you're pretty clumsy," Limestone teased as she walked away. "Get to the groom spot. I have to find my dad."
Lightning stuck his tongue out at her before walking away and grabbing his best stallions. Limestone walked up to her father, who seemed to be talking to Geode about something.
"Dad, we're going," Limestone said as her father looked down to her.
"Alright, thou shall lead the way," he replied as he followed Limestone. Geode followed the small crowd of ponies to the audience.
As soon as Limestone and her father reached the area of the park next to where the ceremony would take place, they stood behind a nicely cut grass wall. the brides maids were there, all talking about something. Twilight talked to the stallions for a few moments, leaving the mares whispering to each other.
"Brides maids, you can walk down now!" Twilight called over, catching the attention of the mares.
"That's our cue! Bye, Limey!" Pinkie said as she bounced over to the walkway, the other maids following behind.
"Maud, make sure to stay at the same pace as the others!" Twilight said. Limestone snickered, not surprised Maud didn't want to keep up with her enthusiastic, bouncy sister.
"Great! Now, Limestone and her father will walk over behind the flower fillies!" Twilight finished. Igneous gave a nod to Limestone as the two turned the corner and onto the walkway. The flower fillies wouldn't be there until tomorrow, but Limestone was certain they wouldn't mess up. Sapphire had grabbed three very nice fillies from her class for the job.
There were only a few ponies in the audience, considering only some were invited for the rehearsal unless they tagged along. Limestone looked up to see Lightning standing under the archway, Brave, Cloud, and Stormy next to him. Limestone's brides maids were all lined up, Pinkie practically bouncing.
Once she reached the archway, her father stepped away and sat next to Cloudy Quartz, who was practically beaming. Limestone looked at Lightning before glancing up at Twilight.
"Now, I will give the speech, the ring bearer will hand the rings..." She said, turning over to Brave, who had the pillow where the rings would be on the wedding day. Twilight smiled and looked to the couple. "I will levitate them onto your hoof and wing, and then you two will kiss, sealing the marriage."
Smiles came from everyone there as Twilight took a breath.
"So... is everything good? Or..."
A chorus of "yes" came from everyone, bright smiles on their faces. Twilight breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, good. It's good to know I'm not missing anything."
Brave set the cushion on the ground and hovered into the air. "On a second note, who wants dinner? My marefriend is bringing it from the fanciest restaurant in Vanhoover for us!"
Everyone stood up, happy with this news. Lightning and Limestone walked down next to each other, escatic.
"So... are you ready for tomorrow?" Lightning asked.
Limestone smirked. "Honestly, I don't know. And don't you get cold hooves before the wedding," she said, poking him in the side.
"Hey, I promise I won't. You have low confidence in me, you know that?"
Limestone bumped his side. "Well, yeah, cause you haven't given me anything to raise it," she sassily chirped back.
"We'll see about that after the wedding tomorrow."
Limestone looked up to him. "What's after the wedding?"
"It's a surprise," he winked.
"Well, I have a surprise for after the ceremony as well," Limestone said.
Lightning raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"
"I can't tell you, stupid! It's a surprise!" Limestone replied.
Lightning snickered. "Alright, alright. I guess I can wait."
"Goodness! How are we going to eat all of this?" Limestone asked as she looked at her plate of food. Candy Latte, who was in the seat next to Limestone, shrugged her shoulders.
"Sorry about that. I thought there were going to be more ponies attending because *ahem* somepony told me that everyone coming to the wedding would be there today for the rehearsal!" She directed to Brave Flight, her voice raising.
"Sorry!" Brave's voice called over. Candy playfully rolled her eyes as Limestone snickered.
"How hard is it to keep up with the big guy?" Limestone asked as Candy raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, Brave?" She started as Limestone nodded. Candy smiled. "It's... not bad at all. We've been seeing each other a lot."
Limestone nodded. "Yeah, we all can tell. He's been disappearing. Stormy also has, but we all know he's seeing someone as well."
Candy giggled. "Yeah, I have a habit of asking him to fly me to the Crystal Empire for a date, considering it's not that far from here."
Limestone snorted. "Somepony likes having wings on her little stallionfriend."
Candy blushed. "Well, I can't use my magic to teleport us. The only thing I use magic for is cooking." She then took a bite of her food. "So... are you ready for tomorrow?"
Limestone blinked, her ears flopping against her head. "I... I don't know. I guess I am."
Candy put a hoof on her shoulder. "It'll be great! We're all here to help you tomorrow! The guys are all going to be helping Lightning, so I'll stick with you."
Limestone smiled. "Thanks."
"No problem! This is your special day; I'm not going to let you stress all day, and I know everyone else agrees with me!" She said as everyone at the table who overheard nodded their heads.
"Yeah, Limestone! We'll be right here for ya!" Speed said, smiling.
Pinkie took out her confetti cannon and blew it in Limestone's face. "Woohoo! You'll do great, Limey!"
Limestone brushed the confetti off of her face. "Thanks, Pinkie."
"I know it'll work out. You've been punching me every day for the past month for me getting nervous; don't tell me you're getting cold hooves!"
Limestone jumped at Lightning's voice. "When did you get here?!"
Lightning smirked. "Just now. I happened to hear that you don't know if you're ready for tomorrow." He nuzzled her neck, causing her to blush and look away.
"Fine, I'm ready. Does that make you happy?"
Lightning nodded. "Of course it does. Tomorrow will be great."
Limestone smiled. "Yeah. I know." She said, leaning into him, earning coos from Pinkie Pie as she gushed over the couple.

Great, it's time for Limestone and Lightning's wedding. I can't wait!

I can't wait either!
That was nice.
7366509
I'm glad you think so
Yeeeesssss!
Its about time too.
So is Geode going to propose after the bride and groom leave for their honeymoon/wedding night? I say after because it would be a dick-move to propose while the spotlight should be on Limestone and Lightning... All in all not bad... But that Marble stuff... Maybe Big Mac will help the Pies out on the farm at the start of Pinkie Pie's arc... Yes I am shameless MarbleMac shipper and prose of it.
