Pregnantshy
Chapter 5: 5. I am a robot, not a miracle worker
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAfter the announcement that Discord was engaged to Fluttershy, Rarity immediately volunteered for the position of wedding planner.
"So, you two will be getting married on this cliff, overlooking the ocean. On the first warm and sunny day of spring, you will forever bond your union on that spot over there."
Due to a large wave, a whole chunk of the cliff fell off and splashed into the raging rapids below.
"Apparently not."
Rarity then led them to a big ballroom.
"How about here?"
"Oh, I don't care where the wedding is, Rarity. Just as long as we're married happily and safely," said Fluttershy.
"Hey, what do you say we head down to the courthouse and seal our union there?"
"Okay."
"NO!"
Rarity blocked the door to the ballroom.
"No friend of mine is going to get married in a courthouse! Sure, the architecture is nice inside, but really, where is the tradition?"
"If you say so, Rarity. You know more about this than I do."
"Well, of course, I do, dear."
She studied her friend for a moment.
"Fluttershy, I have got just the gown in mind! I've already got your measurements from when you visited my boutique! Of course, I'm going to have to make some arrangements for that belly of yours."
She was only a month pregnant, so her belly didn't swell much.
"It will probably get even bigger by the wedding, but I can make it work. I am a professional designer, after all."
She walked over to her fiancee.
"Discord! Such a tall and slender frame! A nice tuxedo would work just fine for you! Would you like that with pants or without pants?"
"If you're trying to make a move on me, Rarity, it's not going to work."
She turned red with embarassment.
"What? I wasn't trying to...Silly Discord! I'm simply the wedding planner, and nothing more!"
"It's fine. I think I still have my waitering outfit from when I was being reformed at Fluttershy's house."
"Oh, no no no! You have to have a specially made tuxedo for a wedding! That's just how it's done!"
"Yeah, sure."
"Um...how much do we owe you, Rarity?"
"Not one bit, Fluttershy! I'm your friend! All I ask in return is...getting to be the godmother."
"Oh, we haven't really thought about a godmother. I guess you can-"
"Oh, wonderful! I've just got to get to the matter of the attire, plus the attire for the flower girls, bridesmaids-"
"Oh, no, we forgot the bridesmaids!"
"And my best colt!"
"That's alright, you two. You can figure it out. Now, flower girls. Who are they going to be?"
"Um...I guess the flower girls could be the Cutie Mark Crusaders," suggested Fluttershy.
"Yes, I owe them for setting me free from stone. Yeah, they can be flower girls."
"I already have Sweetie Belle's size, but I guess I'll have to round up Scootaloo and Applebloom."
"Good luck with that."
"Any idea for a ring bearer?"
"...Spike?" they both said.
"Unless he wants to be my best colt."
"So...undecided?"
"Yeah," they agreed.
"Just get that information to me as soon as you can."
"We will, Rarity," said Fluttershy.
"Well, the next 100 hours are pretty much set for me. You just worry about that baby inside...I'll be in touch."
Rarity rushed back to her boutique and sealed herself inside her fashion studio.
"What do you think the baby will look like?" asked Discord.
"Probably a mix of you and me."
Discord used his X-ray vision and looked inside Fluttershy. The fetus was still too small to tell, about the size of a pea, but it was there.
"Yeah, probably what you just said."
"I can't believe we're actually getting married. I love you so much."
"I love you too."
They leaned in for another kiss.
"Hey! Keep the kissing private!" yelled Rainbow Dash as she flew by.
They quickly pulled away from each other, embarassed.
Later, Discord and his friends were hanging out with Big Mac at Sweet Apple Acres. He had already told them about the whole business of godfather.
"I think I would make a good godfather. I could teach your kid things, Discord. Things that would help him in real life," proclaimed Shining Armor.
"What?! Ya' can't be godfather and regular father at tha' same time!"
"I don't have a kid."
"Well, yer married, so any day now."
Big Mac and Shining Armor argued over who wold be the better godfather.
"Guys, guys, cool it!"
Even that didn't stop them, so he summoned a great thunderclap that quieted them down.
"Here's what we'll do; We'll draw straws. Whoever has the shortest straw is godfather, second shortest is best colt, and longest is ring bearer.
They each drew individual straws from a hay bale on Sweet Apple Acres. In the end, Shining Armor got shortest, Big Mac came in second, and Spike ended up in last.
"See? It all comes out fair."
"Uh, Discord?"
"Yes, Spike?"
"I don't know if you can trust me as ringbearer. Especially if those rings have GEMS."
"Maybe they won't have gems, but I can't promise you that. This is Rarity we're talking about."
"Hey, Discord, since you're about to get married, maybe we should start planning your...bachelor party," said Shining Armor.
"Bachelor's degree? Well, I'm glad you asked. I got it from-"
"No, no, I mean bachelor party."
"...Wuzzat?"
"It's sort of your last huzzah before you get married. Like, a big party."
"Well, I am fond of parties...Throw me one of those bachelor parties as soon as possible!"
"Trust me, Discord, this bachelor party is gonna be one of the best yet. Am I right, Shining Armor?" asked Spike.
"Yeah, Spike does throw great parties. Especially at mine..."
"It was so intense that the episode couldn't even show what happened in there! I like to consider myself second place in party throwing in Ponyville, next to Pinkie Pie."
"Sure, Spike. Throw me a great bachelor party."
"One of the best yet! Uh...is it okay if the greatest bachelor party ever is held in the library?"
"Uh, sure. As long as it's not a book club or anything."
"Oh-ho, there will be no books involved. Trust me here, bro."
"I trust you here, bro."
