I counted to a hundred and fifty as I was doing pushups, after a mont. since the birth of the twins I wanted to get back to shape. Luckily Mother was there for the help… unluckily was her training as she sat on my back cross-legged as she held Miho in her arms feeding her.

“You know… that’s my job.” I told her as I did a hundred and fifty one.

“Yes but you also requested to get back into shape immediately after you could walk.” Mother said as Miho continued to suckle. I grumbled a bit as I did a few more until I was a hundred and sixty-three.

“Ugh, how many more do I have to do?” I asked her as I went back down.

“Eight Hundred and forty eight more.” Was Mother’s answer, her tone suggested that she really wasn't kidding. I closed my eyes at this as I pushed myself back up, only eight hundred and forty seven left. “Who's a little cutey? You are, yes you are.” Mother cooed at Miho, eliciting a giggle from the baby girl before Mother helped her burp.

“Did she have it all?” I asked her as I pushed up. Mother showed me the emptied bottle, shaking it just inches away from my face before pulling it away. I smiled a little as beads of sweat ran down my face. “Just wish… Karen finish her food… been waking up late from her crying for more food…” I said as I breathed.

“I'm sure she's fine, it's common for the little ones to act that way.” Mother said to me as I pushed up once again. Miho giggled happily in Mother’s arms. I smiled at Miho giggling as I continued working out. I already lost the weight I gained when I had the two in me and now starting to show some muscle, with some other noticeable changes.

“The extra weight… is somewhat killing me!” I said as I continued doing push-ups.

“I'm afraid you'll have to get used to it, dear. You'll need to feed your young ones somehow.” Mother said, rubbing my back comfortingly. “And I'm sure Ruby doesn't mind the change.” She added jokingly. The first part was, somewhat, alright. Due to being pregnant with twins I went up a few cup sizes which made me a little self conscious about them. The second part of what Mother said made me blush.

“Remind me to go someplace to get some new bras in the future…” I said as I continued.

“No need to worry, I'll have your old bras replaced with your current size.” Mother was quick to say. “All you needed to do was simply ask.” She said before snapping her fingers. I sighed a bit as I continued my workout. It took me almost an hour and a half but I was almost done.

“Nine hundred and ninety eight… nine hundred and ninety nine… one thousand…” I said before flopping onto the floor. “...can’t...feel...arms…” Mother looked down at me with an arched brow before saying.

“I think Miho wants you to hold her now.” She said to me, followed by a giggle from the baby in question. My ears perked up at this as I felt Mother get off of me. I slowly rolled myself to a sitting position and looked up at mother. “She wants mommy to hold her now, isn't that right sweety?” Mother asked Miho while the baby looked at me and reached her tiny arms over to me. With a smile I raised my arms up to take her into my arms. My arms protested with soreness but I ignored it and was given Miho. I smiled down at her as she started laughing and giggling, making me giggle as well. “How are you and Yang?” I asked Mother as I looked up at her.

“Good, great even and with the addition of Hotaru Yang and I couldn't be happier.” She said to me with a smile before cooing at baby Miho as she giggled in my arms.

“Yeah… Ruby said that Yang seemed more happier than ever.” I said as I held Miho in one hand and started wiggling my fingers with my other. Her tail wagged happily as she reached out for my fingers. Mother smiled at me as we heard a knock on the door. We turned to see one of the other students there.

“Hey, the Headmistress wants to see the two of you up in her office.” the student said to us. I nodded before looking over at mother as she nodded at the young faunus man to leave.

“Wonder what she wants?” I asked her. Mother simply shrugged, a gesture I have yet to grown used to seeing her do. She helped me up to my feet and cured me of my exhaustion with a snap of her fingers.

“There is only one way to find out, let's go.” She said, heading out the open door. I followed behind with Miho in my arms as we headed to the Headmistresses room. Once we got there I saw a number of trible items hanging up on the walls as well as a bookcase. There was two couches where Ruby with Karen bouncing on her knee with Yang with her twins and Hotaru in her arms sat where Indigo and Blake sat on the other couch with their kid, a indigo haired cat Faunus boy that had yellow eyes as he was being held in Indigo’s arms. Weiss, Tak, Qo, and Iilah stoodd as Zecora sat at her desk.

“Ah, nice to see the two of you making it.” she said with a smile on her face. Mother bowed her head at Zecora. I waved my hand at the headmistress, using my other arm to keep Miho up. The two of us soon went over to the one couch where Ruby and Yang sat, Kaida and Strun went over to their mothers happily as I sat Miho on my lap. “Now, I wish to inform you all that in a few days a wedding will be happening and-”

“Is it Rose and Lana’s wedding?!” Qo asked happily. “Or is it my parents?!” Zecora chuckled at the sound of that before continuing.

“As much as I want to say that would be true, but no it isn’t.” Zecora informed her, making Qo slouch a bit, before looking over at us. “As it seems I got a message from Princess Luna, saying that the Wedding of…” she looked down at what looks like a royal note on her desk before speaking. “Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and Captain of the Royal Guard, Shining Armor, will be happening in a few days and she ask me and the top Huntsman or Huntresses would come and witness this event.”

Zecora leaned back as she continues. “It seems most of the other schools have heard of us and some… events that are tied to this school, like the time RB challenged Blueblood to a duel and won, and the time the chaos spirit Discord turned into a janitor to our school.”

“I believe I’ve done a good job at it.” a voice said. We all turned and saw the Chaos spirit leaning up against a wall with his cat wrapped around his neck sleeping.

“Mommy mommy! It’s the mismatch man!” Kaida said pointing at Discord which he simple smiled at her. Indigo frowned at him, not having forgiven him for what he did.

“Yes you have indeed.” Mother said, giving Discord some credit for keeping up with his janitorial duties. I watched as the chaos cat seemed to look up as it hopped down onto the ground. Kaida and Strun giggled as they ran after it, playing around. The sight made me smile as I looked back at Zecora. “Back to the matter at hand, so wish for us to go to this wedding?” Mother asked Zecora.

“Yes, I believe out of everyone you all would be the ones.” she said before adding. “I also talked to your other friends, these Guardians, Miss Rose and Lana wish to come as well as the other two are mixed on that idea. As for RB, her sister and Gol… well… They won’t be coming due to either ‘not really into Weddings’ or ‘Punching Blueblood again if I see him’ quotes.” Mother and Yang chuckled at this while Indigo and Blake had to hold back a laugh after being reminded of Blueblood's defeat.

“When is the wedding?” Tak asked Zecora with a bow of his head.

“Again, in a few days, I was also told that her student and her friends are also going to be going as well so I asked if you all, if you want to go, to go with them as they board the train.” Zecora said. We all nodded at this and thought on our decision. Indigo and Blake agreed to go along, to our surprise so did Iilah despite her claim of hating the city full of nobles she wanted to come along. Tak and Weiss agreed to go as well. Mother and Yang nodded as well, deciding to come along as well. I looked over at Ruby as she smiled as the two of us also would go, as well as Qo who seemed to also come.

“What about your kids?” Weiss asked, mostly to me, Ruby, Yang, Mother, Indigo and Blake.

“I'll ask my sister if she and Theodore could look after them while we're away.” Mother said, gaining excited responses from her Kaida and Strun, excited to see their Aunt and Uncle. Again I looked at Ruby and saw a forced smile on her. I felt the same way as the idea of leaving the twins was… well, we wouldn’t really like the idea. In the end we agreed to have my Aunt look after them as we went off to attend the wedding, it didn’t mean that I had to like it.

At the end Zecora told all of us to go and get ready to leave in the morning. Ruby and I carried the Twins as we followed Mother and Yang as we all headed home to get ready.

“And they both have to be in bed by seven thirty or they'll be cranky in the morning… and if Miho can't fall asleep she has a plush Nevermore she'll sleep with… and make sure Karen is fed fully or she'll be hungry later… and-”

“Viri!” Axycia yelled, making me stop talking. “I know your nervous but honestly everything is going to be fine.”

I gave her a worried smile as I was ready to go to the wedding in Canterlot. I knew it was going to be fine but… they were a month old! And I was going to be fine for a few days and- I felt my aunt's hand on my shoulder and smiled at me. “Go have fun, and when you get back they'll be here.”

I nodded as I gave her a hug as I turned to see the twins looking over at me. I walked over and have them a kiss on their forehead. “Mommy’s going to be back in a few days. Mommy will miss you two…” as I pulled away I heard a few whimpers from the two that made my heart heavy. Maybe there was a few thing I need to- oh wait Axycia is glaring at me. I soon gave them a goodbye as I quickly left. I found everyone waiting outside of the school.

Theodore was currently talking to Indigo and Blake, the latter explaining her baby boy’s likes and dislikes as well as when to feed him and put him to bed. Indigo was worried as well, the well being for his son taking priority, he even threatened his own grandfather that if he were to see a single scratch on Brans, not even Axycia could save him. Theodore only nodded, knowing his words spoke truth he knew he could stand against Indigo. Brans, in Theodore’s arms, was reaching out for him mommy and daddy which made it much more difficult for the two to leave him with Theodore.

Weiss and Tak were making sure their attires were neat and fixed. Weiss had to adjust Tak’s tie a bit before giving him a kiss, saying how handsome he looked even without the shoes the suit supposedly came with. Mother and Yang had already left their children under the care of Axycia, Mother trusted her sister to keep them safe from any harm. Mother wore a much fancier dress than her normal one, this one had golden trimmings on the end of her long skirt and on her wrists were decorative golden bracers which with the necklace she wore, added to her regal look. She looked more like a goddess than she usually does and Yang was quite happy with the sight, seeing her wife dressed up so well. Yang wore the same dress she wore to the Gala, albeit a few adjustments here and there such as the ends of her skirt flickering like fire and the colors being that of the sun.

Indigo wore a suit fit for a character in one of those mafia movies I've seen. Blake was in the dress Indigo had bought her, finding it a good moment to use it seeing as it hasn't been used in almost a year, more so counting our time in the Ark. Speaking of the Ark, Lana and Rose were there waiting as well, they didn't want to stand out so they wore simple dresses, similar to what usually wears but it was more fitting for an even like this. Rose admired Lana’s beauty with the dress, no doubt mentally thanking the countless stars above for the gift that is Lana. The latter wasn't comfortable wearing a dress, having stated that she prefers wearing heat inducing armor than to wear a dress but she swallowed her pride and put it on, knowing that eventually she had to wear another one, the other one making her center of attention for her big day which I've heard that they are planning. As I got closer to them I heard them talking.

“You look amazing Lana.” Rose said with a smile. Lana shifted slightly and smiled.

“Thanks Rose…” she paused as she looked away. “The answer is still no.”

“Oh come on! I feel so… open without them.” Rose complained to her. I chuckled a bit until I ran into someone.

“I'm sorry I didn't- oh.” I said as I realised who I ran into.

“No worries Viri.” Ashe said with her armor and helmet on. I saw beside her was Hound and he too was wearing his armor. I smiled at the two of them as both Lana and Rose came over.

“Why am I the only one without guns and armor?” Rose asked with a frown. Lana rolled her eyes at her fiance’s words before crossing her arms and saying.

“Cause then you wouldn't get any of this tonight.” Lana said, gesturing at herself as she walked ahead of Rose.

“Really? I thought it was more of no one wants to see my Robot face.” Hound said with a shrug to which Ashe sighed. Rose stared at Lana for a few moments before quickly walking after her with a slowly forming giddy smile on her face. I shook my head as I looked at the other two.

“You two coming with us on the train?” I asked.

“No, we have another way there.” Ashe said.

“Yup, spaceship.” Hound said before the two of them headed off as Rose came back with Lana in tow, holding hands and smiling.

After some time I saw Ruby came out wearing a red dress that sparkles a bit. I blushed at the sight of it as she came up to me.

“Hey.” I said to her with a smile.

“Hey.” Ruby said in return.. Seeing that everyone was present, Mother’s hand shone a bright golden light before snapping her fingers, creating two large wormholes. From within the wormholes, two large chariots flew out, each one driven by an armored Dovah, no doubt from Mother's escorts from Skuldafn, the realm Mother rules over. The Wyverns that dragged the chariots behind them, flew down towards us, landing gently with a growl like noise emitting from each of them.

As they landed I same a little spark coming from the left as Sparky came hopping over to the two Wyverns. Qo and Iilah close behind.

“Whoa…” Qo said as she saw the two Wyverns. Mother smiled at this and gave a gentle pat on the Wyverns head, earning what no doubt was a purr. The doors on the chariots opened up to reveal the luxurious seating inside.

“Please enter in an orderly fashion.” Mother said, letting everyone enter first with Yang waiting beside her. Me, Ruby and Qo entered one chariot with Blake, Indigo and Iilah. Weis and Tak entered the second chariot with Rose and Lana along with the other two guardians. The first thing we all did was marvel at how big it was from the inside, it was big enough to live in.

Indigo sat down before Blake sat comfortably on his lap, turning to kiss him soon after she sat down. Iilah sat comfortably beside them before finding out that she can recline her seat and sighing happily when she did. Ruby and I sat down next to each other as Qo sat beside me with Sparky jumping up onto her lap and curling up into a ball. It was a minute of squirming a bit that Sparky was laying on the floor at Qo’s feet, which at this moment Iilah’s pet, the Glowtail from the Ark, came in and doing the same at Iilah’s feet. Iilah had named it Tos though it was unknown as to why she chose that name. Both Qo and Iilah leaned back in their seats as we waited to head off.

Mother soon brought a bell that she soon rung, no doubt signaling our driver for take off. We felt the floor rumble and shake before it stopped, with a look at a nearby window, I could see that we had already taken off. Iilah and Qo both let out simultaneous snores, having fallen fast asleep just seconds after takeoff. Ruby and I chuckled at this as we sit back and waited until we landed at Canterlot. Mother and Yang sat next to each other hand in hand smiling as we flew. I was surprised to feel the ground shake again so soon, it even woke up Iilah and Qo. I looked out window, confused as to why we had landed.

“Why did we land? We can’t be there already.” I said as I looked out of the window and saw a few buildings. Mother chuckled at this before answering.

“We're not, we're just picking up the others.” Mother said before opened the chariot door with a wave of her hand, outside the door were Twilight Sparkle and her friends staring at the chariot in shock and confusion. Mother saw this and stood up from her seat, which gained a whine from Yang as a result before Mother walked up to the open door before gesturing for them to enter. One by one they all entered and even with six more beings in the chariot there was still enough space. Did it grow?

“What’s all this?” Jacqueline asked as she was the last one that came in.

“This is our ride to Canterlot Palace.” Mother answered before she sat back down next to Yang. The latter quickly wrapped her tail around Mother’s and leaned her onto her shoulder. As the six sat down, Skyler and Diana busy checking out there seats, the door closed and we took off again.

“Thank you for doing this Miss… that is, if you don’t mind…” Fluttershy said in a small voice.

“Miss Fluttershy, there is no need to be shy around us.” Mother said the light pink haired Pegasus. Mother then smiled at her and said. “We're all friends, are we not?” She asked her with her calming smile. Fluttershy smiled and nodded before seeing Tos and started to talk with Iilah.

“Well, it needs to be said that I absolutely love your dress!” Rarity said with a huge smile, making her other friends roll their eyes at her as she continued. “Who made it for you?” Mother smiled at this before answering.

“I did as a matter of fact.” Mother answered with a little pride in her tone. Rarity was quick to notice Yang’s dress as well, even more so when the bottom of her skirt flickered like fire and how the colours were of the sun, a fiery yellow with a tint of orange. “And yes, I did that one as well for my loving Yang.” Mother said before giving Yang a loving peck on the cheek. Rarity’s eyes widen as her jaw dropped as she made a notebook appear and started writing or drawing something down. Yang rolled her eyes as she gave Mother a peck on the cheek as well. As the others talked with each other I saw Twilight looking out of the window with a frown on her face.

“Is something the matter Miss Sparkle?” Mother asked the frowning unicorn mare. Twilight didn’t say anything as she stared out of the window, making Mother frown a bit.

“Don’t mind her, she’s upset that her brother is getting married and didn’t get told about it.” Skyler said as she leaned back in her seat.

“Ah believe the two are close.” the Apple farmer added. Mother arched brow and nodded at this with a hum. The rest of the flight we left Twilight alone to her thoughts, even Drake decided to keep his distance from her. After almost an hour later, we finally touched ground and judging by what I saw out the window, many guards and nobles surrounding our chariot in curiosity.

“Looks like we’re here… wonder why there are so many guards?” Jacqueline asked out loud. We all saw the door to the chariot open, revealing the armoured Dovah that drove the chariot just moments ago had opened it. It spotted Mother and simply nodded. Mother nodded back before standing up first.

“Well, what are you all waiting for?” Mother asked us as Blake and Indigo were standing up. Iilah was quick to rise up to her feet with Tos on her shoulder. The rest of us did the same, Sparky climbed up so he was on Qo’s back and looking out at her head. Qo didn’t seem to mind as we Exited the chariot. The six girls looked at the armoured Dova as they stepped out. This made me chuckle a little.

“Whoa…” Ruby said as she looked up at the Dova. As we all stared at the guard Twilight seemed to be on a beeline towards something as she marched off somewhere. I wonder where she was off to but after hearing that she had an issue with the Groom so I didn’t really question it. We heard the snapping of the Wyvern’s mouth, someone must've gotten too close for comfort.

“There you guys are!” We all heard the familiar voice of Weiss as she appeared from the crowd with Tak and the others in tow. At the sight of Weiss, some nobles murmured and whispered, referring to her as the one who rejected Blueblood's advances. Whether Tak heard them or not, he didn't seem to show it. I smiled at the two of them as Lana and Rose stepped out, earning some more muttering and whispers. Lana looked at them all in some confusion as Rose stared with a frown on her face.

“Been here for two minutes and already hate it.” she said to herself. Lana, while confused as to Rose’s dislike of the place, held her hand in hers and gave a loving peck on the cheek. The affection given to her perked her up, her sour mood vanishing.

“Cheer up, ignore what those pesky ponies say about you. I for one find your light blue skin to be quite the eye candy.” Lana said to Rose. Rose blushed at this before pulling Lana in so she can wrap an arm around her. The other two stepped out, many of the Ponies gasped at the sight of them. The two simply ignored them until one of them made a slight comment to Hound, which caused the Titan to raise up and flipped him the bird as he walked past. This made a lot of the nobles to mutter and whisper angrily.

“I never was one for nobility, prefer being alone or with friends.” Hound said as Ashe nodded.

“Same, mostly in a library to read or meditating.” Ashe added. The armoured Dovahs from both chariots have managed to disperse the crowd and even make the guards back off with just a point of their spears. Even without the spears, they had the guards quivering in fear with their intimidating height. From the dispersing crowd, Celestia and Luna walked over to us, not far behind them was Twilight yelling at a white-furred stallion with a blue mane. From where I stood, I saw that the stallion was tired.

“It’s good to see you all here.” Celestia said as Luna stifled a yawn before smiling again.

“Good day your majesties, I thank for inviting us for the wedding of your dearest niece.” Mother said giving them both a formal bow. Yang followed suit and so did Tak and Weiss. Celestia and Luna smiled at their formality.

“Yes, I believe the Headmistress of Forever Free is with you?” Celestia asked, looking around.

“Ah, well, as it seems something came up at the school and she sends her apologies for missing this.” Weiss informed her. Tak nodded at this, confirming this to be somewhat true. In actuality, Zecora had forgotten that she and Ozpin had plans for today and couldn't come with. Now I wonder, are they a thing or simply friends?

“Well I do understand when somethings do… come up.” Celestia said before looking around. “I have to ask, where’s Discords?”

“He’s not coming.” Qo said without missing a beat. “Says that he’s not one to be a wedding crasher, or anymore.” she tilted her head at Indigo and Blake when she said that. Indigo mumbled something to himself but Blake was quick to calm him down, she had somewhat forgiven Discord but entirely. Unlike Blake, Indigo grew mad at the sight of the former mischief maker.

“It is best if he didn't, I'm sorry to say.” Mother said to them while Indigo was calming down with Blake’s whispers. Celestia nodded at this.

“Well, I do hope the next few days will be…” she stops and glances around to see the large number of guards. “Pleasant.”

“Is something wrong?” Iilah asked, making herself known to the royal sisters. Celestia shook her head at this before smiling.

“It’s nothing.” she said before Luna yawned again.

“As much as I wanted to stick around and chat, I have something to be doing now.” Luna said as she turned around and headed off, followed by two guards. Celestia sighed at her sister before looking at us, then at the large Dovah standing above us.

“Guessing you don’t need any guards to escort you anywhere.” Celestia said as she stared at the large Dovah guard.

“We’re Huntsman, do we need guards?” Iilah asked as Tos looked up and snatched up a flying bug. The Dovah let out a low growl when Celestia looked up at it. Mother caught the Dovah guard’s attention with a snap of her fingers. The guard turned to face her and knelt to one knee, his head bowed down.

“Hi aal kos sahvol fah nu nuz dein hin dein vok, Zu'u fraan vul fus lov.” Mother said to the large armored guard before giving him a pat on the side of the head. [You may be excused for now but keep your guard up, I feel a dark force near.] The Armored Dovah bowed his head deeply before speaking.

“Geh shir Monah.” He said before standing at full height. [Yes dear Mother.] He turned to the other guard and repeated what Mother said to the other guard, who I now noticed was female. I raised an eyebrow at this as Celestia looked at Mother a little confused at what she has said. Qo seemed to look around at the buildings and beings around us with a big smile on her face.

“What's got you so excited?” Iilah asked the excited Qo as her Wyvern stood beside her.

“This place looks so cool! And shiny!” Qo said happily. Iilah rolled her eyes before walking up beside her parents, which gained another curious look from Celestia.

“Now then, shall we meet the bride and groom?” Mother asked her, wanting to be polite and ask for permission to see the soon to be weds. Celestia nodded as Twilight came over with the White stallion with a blue mane, which now seeing up close is two tone. His armor was a mixture of gold armor and purple cloth with a shield at his side.

“He’s the captain of the guard?” Indigo asked mockingly in a low tone, holding back a laugh much to Blake’s annoyance. Iilah stifled a giggle. I had a feeling that the groom should have frowned at that but he simply shifted a bit sleepily.

“Yes, I’m the Captain of the Guard.” the Stallion said. “Names Shining Armor, and you all are?” We all took turns introducing ourselves but when Tak uttered his name, Shining immediately recognized his name much everyone's surprise.

“Wait, you’re Tak?” Shining asked him. Weiss frowned at him as she stood next to Tak.

“Um, yeah.” Tak said, tilting his head a bit at him. Weiss quickly wrapped her arms around one of his before saying.

“He’s also my husband.” she said with a frown. Tak smiled a little bit at this, grasping Weiss’s hand as he did.

“Err, right.” Shining said, not so sure how to take this. Twilight stepped up to speak.

“Also Shining is my big brother.” she said with a smile on her face which Shining Armor smiled at as he looked at all of us.

“And where is the bride to be?” Mother asked the two of them with a smile.

“In the castle, just about to show my little sister her now.” Shining said as he looked at Twilight. Mother nodded and asked.

“Mind if we tag along?” She asked as Yang wrapped her arm around Mother. Shining looked at her before shrugging.

“Don’t see why not.” he asked before taking account of everyone. “Err, do you mean all of you?” I looked around to see Qo and Iilah were already gone, seeing Qo dragging Iilah to explore the place. I chuckled at the sight, her curious mind is always wandering.

“You all go on ahead, me and Ashe are going to explore a bit.” Hound said before looking at Ash. “Or I’m exploring and you’re off to see the library?”

“My, you know me so well.” Ashe said in a sarcastic tone. Hound shook his head.

“You Warlocks, always in libraries.” he said.

“And you Titans on your walls and smashing things.” Ashe added as the two head off. Indigo and Blake watched as the left before facing us and Indigo spoke up.

“Me and Blake are going to make sure Qo and Iilah don't get into trouble.” Indigo said, gaining a nod of agreement from Blake before the two said turned to the direction Qo and Iilah had gone to and walking off. Tak and Weiss said they were also going to go exploring as the rest of Twilight’s friends were escorted off somewhere, leaving just Ruby, Mother, Yang, Rose, Lana, and myself.

“Guess it’s just us eight.” I said to which everyone nodded before following Celestia into the palace. Upon entering the palace, we were greeted with patrolling guards and the decorated halls. We all marveled at the decorations that we passed as we followed the two Ponies.

“This looks… pretty…” Rose said, looking up at the decorations before looking back at Lana with a little discomfort as she walked. Lana held the Awoken’s hand as they walked beside each other. I turned around just to see a Faunus woman with long pink hair and some Ram horns coming out of her head. As we approached she glanced over at us and I got a shiver up my spine.

“Everyone, this is Princess Mi Amore Cadenza.” Shining introduced to us.

“Hello there.” She greeted us. I shifted a bit as I stared, something felt… wrong. I saw Rose frown as well as her eyes shone a bit. Mother arched a brow, no doubt sensing whatever I felt.

“Good day, Mi Amore.” Mother greeted and bowed with Yang doing the same. The Ram Faunus raised a brow at this before bowing a little.

“Sorry if I don't know any of your names, it's been a long time planning for this wedding.” She said in a tone that wasn't rude but neither nice. It sounded more that she didn't really care. Mother didn't like her tone but said nothing about it, Yang noticed Mother’s frown.

“Well then we wouldn't want to bother you now, we simply wanted to meet the bride and groom.” Mother said, putting up a smile that I knew wasn't genuine. Lana was a little distracted comforting Rose in her discomfort of being here in a dress and without her weapons. Cadenza simply nodded before turning away and walking off, followed by Shining Armor and Twilight, the latter which looked a little confused as she talked. My smile dropped as I watch her disappear down the hallway.

“Viri… you okay?” Ruby asked me. I looked over at her then at the others before answering.

“Yeah… just peachy.” I answered her half the truth. I knew I shouldn't do that but after talking to the Ram Faunus and the general feel of everything I believed that telling her the truth would make things difficult.

“I'm sorry about her behaviour, she doesn't usually act like this but her big day is coming in a few days and she's in charge of planning it, the stress of doing so along is unbearable.” Celestia said, defending the ram Faunus’s behaviour. Mother and I nodded at this though still a little suspicious.

“Yeah, some of us understand how that is…” Ruby said as she looked over at the rest of us. “The planning is… well….”

“The planning is hell.” Yang finished her sisters sentence. Mother hummed in agreement to Yang and Ruby’s words. Rose looked where the Cadenza went off with a frown. She didn’t say anything but I believe she had the same thoughts about her as both Mother and I. Celestia chuckled at this before saying.

“Well, I do hope your stay here is pleasent, if you want I can have a few rooms set up so you can sleep in until the wedding which will take place in two days.” Celestia offered. I smiled at this, nice to see that we can have a place with some privacy and relaxation.

“That sounds lovely.” Mother said, her faux smile replaced with a real one.

“Well, I better send word to have some rooms made for you all to stay in, if you will excuse me.” Celestia said as she headed off in a different direction. As she walked farther away, we noticed a few guards eyeing us suspiciously before following their princess. Mother noticed one of the glass murals, seeing them depicting what looked like Twilight and her friends defeating what used to be Nightmare Moon. Another mural next to it depicted Discord's defeat and imprisonment in stone by… Twilight and her friends.

“Hey… why does there murals say Twilight and her friends doing all this stuff? Didn’t we do that… kinda?” Ruby asked us.

“I believe it’s pride,” Rose said as she looked at the murals. “From what we seen, the Ponies are, by far, very prideful. The idea of a Faunus or other creature other than a Pony would wound said pride.”

“Hmm, pride will get them nowhere.” Mother said, placing a finger on the mural and causing it to crack. This earned a frown from Mother. “A Mural should be made to last, this will shatter by the smallest gust of wind.” She said.

“If Hound was here, he would agreed.” Rose said with a nod.

“How so?” I asked her, to which Rose gave me a look that what she will say is going to be funny.

“He’s a Titan, and Titans love their walls. Built to stand against anything and to last.” the last part made her look down, as if this made her remember something. Lana stood by her and hooked her arms around hers, pulling Rose out of her train of thought. “Anyway, Celestia seems nice and would’ve put what really happens up but, I doubt it.” Mother waved her hand over the crack, fixing it as if it were never touched.

“Perhaps she will eventually, all we can do is wait and see.” Mother said before looking back at us and adding. “So shall we wander the halls?”

Pony nobles man, and they say Griffons are prideful?
