Chapter 13: Get Off My Cloud

Chapter 13: Get Off of My Cloud

====Cloudsdale====

“Is Twilight still unconscious?” Scootaloo asks as Rarity helps her into her wedding dress.

“The last letter Spike received from Celestia said she was.” Rarity answers.

Scootaloo sighs sadly. ‘I’m sorry to hear that. Are you sure we shouldn’t delay this?”

“We are not delaying this!” Silver Spoon shouts from the conjoining room.

“You’re not suppose to be listening to our conversation!”

Silver giggles. “Oh come on, can you blame me? You’re adorable when you’re paranoid.”

“We don’t even know who is going to do the ceremony.”

“I am.” Princess Cadance says as she walks into the room.

“Princess Cadance.” Scootaloo says. “I’d bow but Rarity would kill me for messing up my dress.”

Cadance chuckles lightly. “Oh, I understand.”

“I don't.” Discord says as he appears. “If Rarity killed you wouldn’t that completely ruin the dress?”

“Discord!” Scootaloo says surprised. “What are you doing here?”

“You didn’t think I was going to miss my favorite daughter’s wedding did you?”

“She’s our only daughter.” Fluttershy says as she walks in. “At least for the time being.”

“Wait!” Scootaloo shouts. “You two are married? And what's this about being your only daughter for the time being?”

“Discord says that there's a place where if you say you are married to somepony three times you're married.” Fluttershy explains.

“Where is that?” Scootaloo asks.

“The Seanchan Empire.” Discord answers simply.

“And what about my other question?”

Fluttershy blushes heavily. “Nothing to worry about yet, but maybe some day.”

Scootaloo nods. “Well I’m glad you two could make it.”

“Us too.”

“Listen, I heard there was a problem with who was going to officiate the wedding.” Discord says. “I could do it if you’d like.”

A collective “What?!” Is asked by everypony in the two rooms.

“Discord, stop teasing.” Fluttershy says.

“I’m not teasing. I have the capacity to marry two ponies if I so wish.”

“Who would give you the authority to marry ponies?” Cadance asks.

“Celestia did of course.” Discord answers as if it’s the most obvious thing in the world. “You can ask her if you’d like.”

“I believe I will.” Cadance says then looks to Rarity. “Did Spike come with you?”

“Of course he did.” Rarity answers. “He’s in charge of the other details while I work on Scootaloo’s dress.”

“I’ll go see him. In the meantime I brought somepony with me that wishes to see both of you.” Cadance says as she turns to leave.

“Silver!” Diamond Tiara shouts as she runs to see her friend in her wedding gown. “You look beautiful!”

Diamond goes to hug Silver but Coco stops her. “Please don’t mess up her dress Miss Diamond.”

“Sorry Coco, I’m just glad I made it in time.”

“Me too.” Silver says.

“Me three.” Apple Bloom says. “You better not cut it this close when it comes to our wedding. I mean even Sweetie Belle beat you here."

"Hey! I heard that!" Sweetie says from podium where she waits for Rarity to adjust her dress. "I'll have you know we arrived in Cloudsdale yesterday morning."

"See, a whole day ahead of time and she's already on her honeymoon." Apple Bloom says

“I'm sorry, Bloom.” Diamond says as she walks up to her fiance. “I don’t plan on not being in the same city as you ever again.”

“Fair enough.” Bloom says then kisses Diamond.

“Girls, you mind?” Silver says. “This is my wedding.”

“Ours!” Scootaloo shouts.

Bloom blushes slightly. “I’ll go with Scoots, we’ll talk later.”

Diamond nods. “Sounds good to me.”

Cadance sighs as she comes back. “You’ll never believe this.”

“I take it Celestia confirmed what I said?” Discord asks as he pops next to Cadance wearing a priest robe, and holding a Bible in his taloned hand.

“She told me that you tricked her into giving you permission.”

“Tricked her? I would never do something like that ” Discord asks as his nose suddenly starts to get longer.

Coco Pommel pokes her head around the corner. “He’s like that puppet that wants to a real colt.”

“Discord does stuff like that when he’s being dramatic.” Fluttershy explains.

“He just chooses to do it?”

“Coco, darling, Discord’s a very unique individual.” Rarity says. “I’m not sure there’s anything that he can’t do.”

“He gave me my wings.” Silver says.

“Why would he do that?” Coco asks.

“I thought it’d spice things up a little.” Discord says. “Thought her mom would have a field day at the very least.”

They all watch as Discord's nose grows longer. “Discord!” Fluttershy scolds.

Discord sighs. “Fine! I did it because I wanted to make Scootaloo happy. Not everything I do has to be chaotic.”

“Just every other thing.” Scootaloo mumbles.

“Now Scootaloo, is that anyway to treat your dear old dad?”

Scootaloo looks at Fluttershy who says. “You don't have to call him Dad if you don't want. Just like I never forced you to call me Mom.”

Scootaloo sighs. “Sorry, Dad.”

“That’s my little mare.” Discord says as he charges himself to look like an older male version of Scootaloo.

“Change back this instant.” Scootaloo says coldly.

Discord disappears and then reappears in his normal form next to Fluttershy. “Did I do something wrong?”

“You looked a lot like her actual father.” Fluttershy explains.

“That was the general idea.”

“She literally watched her father die in a horrible explosion.”

“Oh.” Discord says as he shrinks himself, hiding in Fluttershy’s mane.

“Scootaloo, please say something.”

Scootaloo sighs. “Come on out, Dad. If Silver’s alright with it you can marry us.”

Discord suddenly appears full size in a outfit that is one part priest's robe, one part tuxedo, holding a book with a weird looking “t” in one hand and one with two triangles overlapping in the other. “Seriously?”

“As long as you can kept it a traditional pony wedding, with limited chaos, sure.” Scootaloo answers.

Discord pops in onto Silver Spoon’s side. “Do you agree with this?”

Silver looks at Discord and sighs. “Why the hay not? It’ll be a wedding to remember.”

Discord squeals with delight. “Yeah! Now I’ve got to make changes to the wedding chapel.” With that he vanishes.

“Why do I have a feeling we’re in way over our heads?” Silver Spoon asks.

“I said limited chaos.” Scootaloo says. “I’m sure even he can’t do much with that.”

Cadance opens the door to the wedding chapel just enough to look out. “You want to bet?”

Scootaloo looks to Rarity. “You’re dress is as good as it’s going to be, go ahead.”

“You too, Miss Spoon.” Coco says. “I don’t think tradition is going to say anything about you two seeing each other in your dresses now.”

Scootaloo and Silver Spoon both hope off their respective perches and walk to the door, seeing each other in their wedding dresses they smile at the choices that their designer had made then continue to the door. “Alright, Princess Cadance.” Scootaloo says. “Let’s see what Dad has cooked up.”

"I want to see!" Sweetie says.

"Not so fast, some last minute alterations." Rarity says as she does just that. "Go on Sweetie."

Sweetie hops down to and heads to Scootaloo,, while Apple Bloom and Diamond come up too.

They all look out the door. “What the buck?” Silver exclaims as they see that all the clouds have been turned into pink cotton candy, the columns turned into candy canes, and the pews are all made of chocolate.

“Well…” Scootaloo hesitates. “We wanted a ceremony that nopony would soon forget. I think we’re about to get that.”

Silver Spoon sighs as she adjusts her glasses on her face. “Fine! Let’s this ceremony moving!”

The two of them march down the aisle, with the other following. Discord stands at the altar holding a broomstick in one hand and an empty glass in the other. “You girls ready?

Scootaloo looks at Silver who just nods. “Let’s do this.”
