"Cloud?" Asked Twilight, entering my room. "What's wrong?" I looked up from my crying.

"I-I just can't believe he's dead..." I sobbed. "He was one of my closest friends..."

"Come on, it doesn't matter. It's not that big of a deal."

"He was a big deal to me! And now, he's..." I sniffed. "Dead... All because I was reckless..." Twilight rolled her eyes.

"Stop being such a baby, Cloud, it doesn't matter. You can just replace-"

"I can't replace a friend, Twilight! I... I loved him..."

"What?"

"Platonically..."

"Oh, right."

"I'll never see him again... And you've already cremated him..."

"I didn't think you cared, so while you were making sure Vesper was okay I-"

"You burned him where he was lying!"

"Yes, because-"

"I'll never get to say goodbye..." I looked to my hooves.

"I used the fire because it was faster than-"

"You could have healed his injuries! But... But instead..." I swallowed and sniffed again. "You just finished him off..." I looked back to Twilight. "You murdered him!" Twilight rolled her eyes.

"Oh, grow a pair, Cloud, it's not that bad!"

"Not that bad?! You murdered one of my closest friends! I would have given my life to save him, but instead he... He gave his!" I started crying again.

"For bucks sake, Cloud, it was just a suit!"

"It wasn't just a suit, Twilight! It was my suit!"

When Twilight was carrying me through the caves beneath Canterlot, my suit was heavily damaged. So heavily, in fact, that Twilight decided that it wasn't worth fixing. She had incinerated it before throwing away the ashes to try and save space.

"Rarity's already working on a new one for you anyway!"

"It will never be as good..." I lay my head on the floor.

"She said she had some new design ideas she thought you would like." I didn't answer. Twilight lay her hoof over my shoulders. "Maybe you're right, it might not be as good as your old suit," I looked up at her, "maybe it will be better." I sighed. "Come on, at least give it a chance."

"Fine..."

"Well, this is better in every possible way," I stated, looking at my new suit. We were in Rarity's room.

"Uh..." Started Twilight. "You got over that a bit quickly, didn't you?"

"Look, it's been a long and stressful day and I'm too tired to care by this point." I turned to Rarity. "Thanks for the new suit, it's great." I turned back to Twilight before she could answer. "I'm gonna go take a nap or something." Twilight's jaw dropped.

"After everything that's happened today, you're just going to take a nap?!"

"Yeah."

"But-!"

"I had alcohol for breakfast, I had a mental breakdown from my phobia, I was dragged through a cave system, I was mind bucked by your machinery, I had a laser battle with the ultimate manifestation with my phobia, I found out that my daughter will never walk again, I found out that the doctor was messing with me and that she'll be fine, my suit was destroyed and now I have one that's even better. Yeah, I'm going to bed." I walked out of the room before she could respond.

The wedding had started. I was in my new suit and it was even better than I'd first thought; Rarity had used some enchanted fabric that she'd gotten from Celestia that made the suit much more flexible and much more damage resistant to the point where it could get hit with a magic bolt and barely be scuffed.

Vesper was still in the hospital. She had been fully healed, but she needed to rest. Which is pretty fair considering all she went through. Rib said that she should be fine by the end of the day.

When Ponies were setting up the chapel room, they found Vesper's bitch unconscious near the doorway with a lot of small injuries and a large burn mark. He was arrested for loitering.

After I'd taken out Chrysalis, who had apparently survived, her army lost their spirit and were easy for God-Horse and her guards to defeat. They were all thrown into the dungeons.

The city was repaired, cleaned and redecorated overnight by the head royal janitor. He had six raises. I don't know what he did with the corpses, but I suspected-

"Seriously though," muttered Twilight to Asshat, cutting off my thought monologue, "I get why the Queen of the Changelings wanted to be with you, but how did you get someone as amazing as Cadance to marry you?"

"I said words, they sounded like words!" Replied Asshat. "When a mare is a mare, the husband is not a mare! Meow Meow has a Tweh Weh!" Why am I even standing at the front with them? Well, I did just save Equestria. Again. Yeah, but still... I started paying attention again and realised the wedding was almost over.

"May we have the rings, please?" Celestia asked Spike before levitating them over to Miyamoto and Asshat and sliding them onto- Wait, why is she putting them on their horns instead of their hooves? Well, whatever. Maybe it's a fetish or something... Rainbow Dash flew upwards and exploded rainbows out of her butt, marking the time for party.

Everypony was outside singing, dancing and various other activities that I wasn't yet drunk enough to do. I was inside, waiting for Vesper. She'd been released from the hospital and was meeting me here after she was dressed. This suit is really bucking comfy.

After another minute of waiting, Vesper arrived. Her dress was fairly simple; it started with blue at the top and faded into two purples. Vesper glared at me.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I'm not naked," she replied, "that's what's wrong."

"C'mon, cheer up! There's free beer!" I grinned at her.

"Is that all you've got to try and cheer me up?"

"Free food, too!"

"How is that supposed to make-?"

"Unlimited free food!" Vesper's glare changed to a blank expression.

"Unlimited?"

"The buffet is designed for a few thousand Ponies that all happen to owe us their lives!" Vesper grinned back.

"Is that an eating contest I hear calling us?"

"I think it is!" We brohoofed and dived at the tables of food.

The wedding was finally over.

The arc is finally over at a total of 18789 words!
Hopefully you enjoyed it and it was as good as I was hyping it up to be, but either way:
It's time for season three!

When I drew the picture, I realised that my old pictures of Cloud's suit kinda sucked design-wise so I changed a few things. I decided that he may as well get a whole new suit story wise, too.

Anyone notice that Cloud and Vesper have the same tail design in different sizes?
