Equestria has a destiny in mind for everypony. A transdimensional guest, however, is surprised to find that this even applies to him, especially since it seems this strange world wants to keep him as its newest infant princess.
Queen Chrysalis is back nine months after the wedding and she's nine months pregnant. But worse, she says one of the ponies she made contact with during the wedding is the father... second mother? Is it Celestia, Twilight, Cadence, or Shining?
Celestia is totally exhausted working hard day in day out, and eventually decides to use magic to get herself some much-needed rest. The spell she uses is a mite too powerful though, and isn't she in for a shock when she wakes up....
Even leaving aside the ending and story content, the style you've employed is tiring to read. You describe so little (and use no names), that I have to work harder than I should to to put together what's going on. The scenes are also sort of disjointed because there's so little in the way of transitions from one scene to the next.
The couple of spots where you do use dialogue also feel off. Either don't use any, or use it consistently.
As far as the actual plot/content and ending, I don't care for it, but different people have different tastes.
Addendum: Starting with one of those two scenes as a teaser and then skipping back to the beginning of the story isn't a bad move, but pick one or the other. Personally I'd go with "The rainbow didn't miss." I really like how that reads, especially if you contrast it against something else.
Addendum the second: Aside from teasing with an opening scene, stick to chronological order. You're just making more work for the reader if you present things out of order.
1581725 Hehe, yeah. This was the reaction I was hoping to get, so thank you. If you're wondering why I wrote this, just take a quick peek at my blog post regarding this
1581940 I agree. I'm sick to death of reading myself.
1582165 I mean, look at them. Have you seen how much they use?
1582230 Thanks for the constructive and honest review! All of them are valid points, but I'd like to point out something about the names. That was an attempt to be purposefully vague, therefore (as you said) the reader would hopefully try to work out what was actually going on. By the end of it, they'll still be trying to figure out the mystery then BAM. Punchline.
But as you said, the fact it was an elaborate joke makes the enjoyment of the story rather subjective.
Okay... so we had a near-apocalypse because Celestia and Cadence had a hissy fit over their make-up budget being capped? I have only one thing to say to them:
I am so, so sorry.

Wait, what?
Dat Ending!
Ok... I'll admit... I laughed... but really?!?

This was epic in every sense of the word. The imagery carried through beautifully.
The ending just brought a smile to my face, even a few chuckles.
This was amazing.

Random tag well earned!
Okay... entertaining...
Let's never read this again.
End of the world is caused by the use of... too much eyeliner?
