"TWILIGHT IS GOING TO KILL ME! EVERYONE WILL OBJECT US! MY LIFE IS OOOOVEEEEER!" Storm yells from my shoulder as he continues to flail around.

"Ah want to show you two somethin real quick." Big Mac says as he begins to walk away. I follow after him, having Storm just collapse on my shoulder. After a few turns we enter a clearing in the middle of some buildings. In the center of the clearing is a bronze statue of two ponies. "Meet ma Pa and Ma." I set Storm down and walk up to the statue. It looks exactly like the ponies from the picture in Big Macs home.

"Oh sweet Barbra..." I mumble as I try to form the right question to ask.

"Ah know. It's quit the head scratcher, but after some askin around ah finally got the full story. Ends up that on the way ta Plana Del Canal mah parents found a group of donkeys trying ta start a farm, but there was something killin the farmers here. While mah pa went with a group ta search out the creature while my mah stayed behind with the other farmers. What ever it was, my pah killed it. When they brought the corpse back as proof... well, the towns folk called it a chupacabra. Well.... ah guess there were more of them, cause they all attacked the town. Ah guess, thanks ta my parents, they were able ta fight them off... but they didn't live through the attack. Thanks to them, this town lives on." He says as he wipes a tear away.

"Wow, that's quit the story." I say as I look over the statue some more.

"Where you able to find their graves?" Storm asks.

"Nnope. This is it. They went after the last of the chupacabra's and never came back." He says as he looks up to the statue. We stand there for a bit, admiring the bronze ponies before Storm finally breaks the silence.

"Not to ruin the moment... but I have twelve hours to get to Ponyville..."

"Right, let's get going... how exactly are we going to get there fast enough?" I ask.

"Couldn't we just take the train?" Big mac asks, getting Storm to sigh.

"No. I don't have our tickets anymore. Plus I think somepony stole my money... Miles?" I check my pockets and pull out a piece of paper with pony text on it. "Here, let me see that...... purchase order; fifty feet of rope, twelve bottles of tequila, two ponchos, one sombrero, and fourteen bottles of whiskey... well at least we weren't robbed. What the hell happened the past few days?"

"Ah think ah can shed sum light on that. You two got completely wasted on the train. After the first shot, which ah didn't take, you both down the entire bottle. You both left our cart to go join the party. Miles ended up enchanting every drink on the train to get everypony else jus as wasted. When we got here... it was basically a battle field of drunken idiots. That's why most of the town was recently repaired... which ah had ta do mahself."

"Sorry."

"After ya'll bought the remaining alcohol in the town ya'll decided that it would be fun ta fly Storm like a kite."

"Well... that explains the rope, but how did we end up by Plana Del Canal?"

"While Miles was flyin you around, he started to run off with his magic. I tried ta stop ya, but after ya jumped out of town I decided that it would be smarter ta wait fer ya'll here." Storm and I glance to each other before I start to chuckle.

"It's not funny!"

"It's hysterical! We got wasted!" I say as I start laughing.

"Whatever, we're wasting time. We need to get back to Ponyville ASAP.... any ideas?" We stand there for a bit, trying to think of a way to get back.... I've got nothing.

"I've got an idea." Maiz says from behind with a sly grin... this can't end well.

"This is stupid! This is.... this won't work!" I say in a hushed tone as we sneak up to a train cart.

"Just go, get on the roof, and hold on." Maiz says from the front as he leads us to the back cart. "Es facil, I'll distract the operator, an you guys sneak on board. What could go wr..."

"Don't finish that." I say flatly as we watch the conductor wave the last of the ponies onto the train.

"Ready?" Maiz asks.

"No!"

"Good." He says as he runs to the cart and starts to climb onto it, gaining the operators attention.

"Hey! Get off of that!" He yells as he runs over and tries to pull him off.

"Pinche tu madre!" Maiz yells before he kicks him across the face and starts to run off, getting the operator to chase after him. With the operator gone, we make our move. Storm flies up as I press my back against the cart and lift Big Mac up. Once he's on board he reaches over and pulls me up. Once on top I look around to see a bunch of other donkeys and ponies doing the same thing all along the train.

WOO WOO

The whistle blows a couple of times as the pistons start to push us forward. At the last possible second the operator gets back on board, jumping onto the railing of the last cart. The three of us smile to one another as we hold on. Ponyville here we come!

A couple of hours go by with nothing worth mentioning. The area around us went from jungle to farmland to... what did Big Mac call it? Desert? The view was decent. Far to the north east are large mountains with snow on top of them... whatever snow is. To the east is largely open terrain, with nothing more then plant life filling. It's getting considerably hotter though, not to mention we're getting dehydrated. Storm and I have been pissing like crazy... made all the more awkward due to the fact that we had to aim it off the edge of the cart. Luckily no one saw us.... hopefully.

"Hey." I say, getting their attention. "We should sneak inside and get something to drink."

"None of us have money to buy drinks." Storm says lazily.

"Who said we had to buy them?"

"Not ta mention that they would notice us in the cart." Big mac adds.

"Well... what if we just went into the bathroom and just drank sink water?" They think about it for a second before they get up and look over the edge.

"How are we going to do this?" Storm asks as he peers over the ledge.

"You should fly along the cart and find the conductor. When he's far enough away from the bathroom signal to us and we'll sneak on board to get a drink."

"Miles... after the whole balloon incident... I don't think my wings can handle that right now." Storm says, glancing back to his wings and shuffling them a bit.

"Well... then I'm up then." I say as I flare my hands and start to enchant my fingers and feet. Once done, I crawl along the wall of the cart and peer from window to window, looking for the conductor and restroom. I find both on the second cart, so I crawl up the wall and motion for Big Mac and Storm to come over. I notice that the inside of this cart is different from the one we took from Roam, this one having benches instead of individual rooms. Probably a different class or something. I wait for the conductor to finish walking through the cart until he enters the third cart. I move to the restroom and slide the window to open, barely having enough room to enter. I immediately go to the door and lock it as Storm and Big Mac go to get water.

"Try to keep it quiet, we don't want to alert anyo...."

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

We all freeze as we stare at the door. How could we have been caught so easily!?

"When you three are done in there, could you come out and have a word with me?" Asks an elderly lady from behind the door. We all look to one another before I open the door to reveal an elderly pony standing before us. She's an earth pony with a silver body and white hair. Her mark seems to be a strand of purple flowers. I can tell she's old, probably the same age as Granny Smith.

"Well?" She asks as she motions to the inside of the cart. I nod and walk out, having Storm and Big Mac follow after. I go to a set of benches that are facing each other and take the far bench, getting Storm and Big Mac to take up the other one. She walks up and looks between the two benches before she takes a seat between Storm and Big Mac, rubbing up against them as she does so.

"So..." I start but stop when she raises a hoof.

"No need to explain. It's not like I haven't hopped a train before. So lets make a deal. You three get comfy in here, while I get comfy in here." She says as she runs a hoof up and down Storms leg, making him go wide eyed.

"I'm getting married tomorrow."

"Really? Darn... well then..." She says as she rubs up against Big Mac.

"Married." He says, getting her to pout.

"I'm married as..."

"Well, if I don't get to get comfy, then whats to stop me from calling the conductor?" She asks. Storm and Big Mac both look to me and stare at me... AW COME ON!

"*sigh* fine." I say as I pull my shirt and poncho off.

"Oh my..." She says before she gets up and takes a seat next to me. "Honey, you should keep that off. It's MUCH better." She says as Storm and Big Mac chuckle a bit.

"So... now that I'm half naked, whats your name?" I ask as she leans against me.

"Oh of course! Where are my manners. I'm Gladiolus, but my friends call me Gladous."

"I'm Miles."

"Storm Cloud."

"Macintosh, but everypony calls me Big Mac."

"I bet they do." She says as she runs a hoof down my leg. Come on... take one for the team... don't flip out on the elderly lady and force everyone to walk home.

"So... uh..." Come on... get her off THINK! GOT IT! "So apparently you can fuck in the ass..."

"What!?" Gladous yells as she looks at me in bewilderment. "Ok honey, its obvious that you're a virgin, so I'm going to let you in on a few secrets. Yes, you can rut there, but don't just go for it. You're mare... or stallion...

"Married to a mare..."

"Of course you are. Anyway, you don't just go for it. Some warning, and permission is needed."

"OK... why would they want..."

"Well dear... it feels good. Its painful but.. its a good kind of hurt." She says as she flips her hair. I nod and think about what she said... may as well.

"And sucking..."

"Oh dear If you haven't sucked your mare or stallion then you've been taking all of the...."

"OK I've heard enough!" Storm yells as he gets up and walks away. Big Mac looks between the two of us before he scoots closer to Gladous.

"Continue." He says as we both lean in to hear what she has to say.

"Well, when it comes to sucking, don't just motor boat it. Power is appreciated, but a little finesse is needed..."

I head straight to the restroom and close the door behind me. Why do all of the weirdo's find me... and fondle me? I go to the sink and run the water, splashing my face...

Storm...

I stop and look around. I know I heard my name... I ignore it and continue to rub my face. It's probably just the heat messing with me...

You can't protect them...

"Who's there?" I ask as I look around, finding the room as empty as it was before. It sounds like an elderly guy is talking to me in a sickly voice. I turn to the mirror and drop to the ground. I get back up and double check the mirror to find myself in the reflection. I know what I saw... but I don't believe it. It looked... no. It was half of a human and half of a unicorn with a green body and black fur, wearing a necklace with a small brown bag around it's neck. I take another deep look in the mirror before I take a few drinks from the sink. I'm probably just dehydrated, that's all. Yeah... that's it. I turn off the water and head back to the others.

"... and that's the basics on pleasing your mare... or stallion." Gladous says, getting nods from Miles and Big Mac. I shake my head and take my seat beside Big Mac... should I tell them... "Storm dear, don't you want to know how to..."

"I think I'll be alright."

"Huge cock." Miles whispers to her, getting a slow nod in response.... bucking idiot.

"How bi..."

"DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!"

"Alright, alright. Gesh, don't need to get bitchy." Gladous says as she turns back to Miles. I just shake my head and look out the window. I know what I saw... I just don't know what to think about it...

"Goodbye boys!" Gladous yells from a window as we get off in roam.

"Later Gladous!"

"Bye!" I shake my head and walk through the station. The past nine hours have been... strange. I don't think there's anything about sex the three of us don't know anymore...*shivers* sounding. At least Gladous helped us stay on the train the entire trip, and fed us. Even if she fondled me, she's a nice pony. I shake the thought from my head and continue out the station. I need to get home within two hours... how am I going to pull this off?

"Hey Storm." Miles calls out as him and Big Mac run up to me. "Any ideas on how to get back?"

"*sigh* no. I only have two hours to get there and we're three hours away..."

"I think I have a solution." He says as he pulls out some rope.

"Where did you get that?"

"The train. We already stole a ride, I don't think some rope will really be a problem."

"And what exactly do you want to do with that?" I ask, getting an evil smile from Miles...

"SLOW DOWN!" I yell as Miles races down the road below. With out even asking he tied a rope around my waist and stated to run off, carrying Big Mac on his back. Since he is using his magic, he's running at really high speeds, making it impossible to follow on hoof, so I had to become a kite again.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME! WE HAVE LESS THEN AN HOUR! WE NEED TO GO FASTER!" He yells as he pushes himself even faster down the road. I was about to protest when I saw it... Ponyville.

"WE'RE ALMOST THERE!" I yell as I start to flap my wings with all of my might, propelling me past Miles. It soon become a race between the two of us as we both speed towards Carousel Boutique.

CRASH

We both collide through the door and crash onto the ground, coming to a stop in front of Rarity.

"We-we made it." I say before I collapse.

I can believe we made it! With some time to spare as well. Though Miles and I are fairly tired, it was completely worth it. I'm currently waiting by the alter with Miles, Spike and Big Mac waiting beside me. All of us wearing military uniforms, green jackets with white button up shirts and black ties. A patch of our regiment sits on our shoulders while I have some brass bars on my collar, representing my rank as Lieutenant. Miles even made some pins for all of us... though he has way more then any of us. The pins are simple bars, only being an inch or so long and very narrow. I have three pins, a light blue one with a single yell ban along the center, an all black one and an all white one. The blue and yellow one is suppose to represent that I'm a jumper... whatever that means, the black one just means that I'm Spartan and the white one means veteran fighter.

The day couldn't have been better. We're in the western park of Ponyville a bit before sunset. The sky is perfectly clear, birds are singing, everything is perfect. We have a terrace set up around everypony with a white lace going around the seats. Throughout the lace are different flowers of different colors. There's a gentle breeze coming in from the west, gently brushing against this perfect day.

I sigh as I look out at the crowd, feeling butterflies in my stomach. On my side of the benches are the Apple family and my mother... and for some reason Squishy Trap and Cheesus. I ignore them and look back to my mother. She raises a hoof and weakly waves to me as she wipes her tears away, so I nod back. I look over to Twilight's side and stare at the crowd. All of her family members are here. Her parents, Shinning and Cadence along with the family members of her friends, some other friends she has that I don't know, Luna, some of the residence of Ponyville and her owl. She has a lot of ponies here, but I don't mind.

I continue my gaze onto the other side of the alter, where Celestia waits at the head of the alter, with a small orchestral band behind her. I can't believe Twilight was able to get her to marry us... though its not that surprising. She is her prize student, not to mention the Element of Magic. With that I still can't believe that I'll be having her marry us. On the other side of the alter are the girls, each of them wearing a beautiful dress that Rarity made for each of them.

"*sniff*" I look back to see Miles wiping some tears away as he fights the urge to start bawling.

"Are you crying?"

"*sniff* no. I'm just so happy for you man." He says as he continues to wipe tears away. I laugh a bit as the music starts to play.

Everypony stand and faces the center aisle. The first to come down are Scootaloo, Applebloom and Sweetie Bell, throwing down rose pedals as they skip down. They come to the end and bump into each other as they all try to go different directions, getting chuckles from everypony as they scramble away.

I feel my heart start to race at the next sight. Twilight. She has a beautiful white dress with a white veil covering her face. She walks down the aisle slowly, being escorted by her father. Time seems to slow down as I watch her make her way to me slowly. When she finally makes it to the end I walk down and shake hoofs with her father before he gives her a hug. I turn and walk up to Celestia with Twilight by my side... here we go.

"Ladies and Gentlecolts." Celestia begins. "We are her to be witness to the union of Storm Cloud and Twilight Sparkle. Let us begin with a silent prayer." She says, getting everypony to bow their heads.

Uh... what are they doing? Whats praying? I guess its just closing your eyes and looking down. Strange...

"Love is the most powerful form of magic." Celestia says, getting us all to look back up to her. "It can bring the greatest together, it tears the greatest of us apart. Just like magic, we will never truly understand it, but no matter how hard we may fight it, it will always find a way into our hearts. The bride and groom will now share their vows."

"Storm Cloud." Twilight says as we face each other. "I knew ever since our first date that I could spend the rest of my life with you. You fight to protect me. You strive to make me laugh, and I love you with all my heart and I want to be with you, and only you, for the rest of my life."

"Twilight Sparkle. From the moment I first saw you... it was love at first sight. I want nothing more then to make you happy. I love you. I will always love you. Now, and forever."

"*sniff*" I can hear Miles crying a bit harder, but I ignore him and move forward to lift her veil... the butterflies in my stomach were replaces with the confidence of her beauty.

"If there is anypony out there that will object to the union of these ponies, let them speak now or forever hold their peace." Celestia says, making the room go quiet. I can't help but glance out to Shinning... seeing him just sit there, keeping quiet. Without anypony objecting,Celestia motions to Spike to bring us the rings. We each take each others ring and wait for the next part. "Storm Cloud, do you take this mare to be your lawfully wedded wife? To love her. Cherish her. In both good times and bad, for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do." I says as I place her ring on her horn.

"Twilight Sparkle. Do take this stallion to be your lawfully wedded husband? To love him. Cherish him. Bare his children. In both good times and bad, for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do." She says as she places the bracelet around my hoof.

"Then with the power..."

"Celestia, if I may." Miles says as he walks up to the alter. Everypony murmurs a bit but don't try to stop him from taking Celestia's place at the alter. "Terradisia has a tradition for those of true love. If you'll both close your eyes and focus on the love you have for each other." He says, getting me and Twilight to shut our eyes.

I focus on everything I love about her. Her smile. Her laugh. The way she can make me smile without even trying. My thought process is interrupted when I feel something move through my neck. I open my eyes to see Miles hand portals flaring. His right hand being purple and his left being grey. He kneels down and begins to do something with the energies on the floor. I can hear the energy swirl around each other as he focuses on the spell. When he finishes, he stands up to reveal a rose where his hands were. The stem is light grey with purple thorns while the flower has pedals that are purple on the outside and grey on the inside. It seems to glow as it hovers off the ground a few inches, slowly spinning to the right.

"This, is a amor surrexit. A love rose. For as long as you two live and love one another, this rose shall live. Hic rosae nihil pereat." He says as he steps back to his place beside me.

"Yes... well, with the power vested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride." Twilight and I look to each other and lean in for a kiss, putting all of our love and passion between our lips as the audience cheers for us. We break the kiss and gaze into each others eyes for a bit as we laugh and giggle from the pure joy. We turn together and run down the aisle together to the waiting carriage, where we run straight in... as husband and wife.
