Silver moved slightly to her side and suddenly gasped as a pain shot through her. “What?”

Paradox was instantly awake and looked over at her. “What is it?”

She shook her head and moved again and the pain radiated around her stomach. “Oh!”

Paradox sat up and looked at his wife in concern. “Silver, tell me.”

She put her hoof up as she took in deep breath and then let it out slowly. “Wait a moment.” She took in another breath and then her eyes widened. “Ouch. Oh…” She gasped as she looked at him nervously.

Paradox blinked at his wife. “Is…?”

Silver yelled out in pain as it radiated around her stomach. “Doxy… I… think so.”

He jumped out of bed. “It’s time, I’m gonna be a dad; oh what do I do; what should I do? Silver…?”

She looked at him and slowly rubbed her belly as he looked at her for advice. “Tell the doctor? Take me to the hospital, tell my family and yours.” She smiled then clutched her stomach and let out a pained whimper.

He went over to her and kissed her face. “How do I do all this?”

“Get me to the hospital first.” She gasped out as another wave of pain hit her. “Remember the pain you had when your sister…  um… Lilly went into labor?”

He nodded and swallowed hard. “Don’t remind me. I’m going to get you to the hospital.” He moved to her side and picked her up gently.

“Don’t use magic Doxy. Please.” She said quickly.

“What? How am I to get you to the hospital fast?” He asked with slight panic in his voice.

“You can fly… fly me there.” She said as she put her hoof on his cheek. “Just don’t use magic Doxy.”

He let out a sigh as he nodded. “Ok, I’ll fly you there, although I am a little rusty.” He walked to the door to the balcony off their bedroom and went out. Swallowing hard he spread his wings out, stretching them out fully and flapping them in the early morning.flight2

Silver squeaked and closed her eyes when he jumped up and took flight. This was the first time he ever flew while holding her and she could have sworn that he had never flown the whole time they ever dated; although he had mentioned several times that her mother made him fly laps as punishments for different things when he was younger.

He flew up and held Silver to him gently but firmly. He wanted to be careful as he flew over a part of Everfree Forest and over his parent’s cottage. As he flew over their cottage he looked down to see if either one of them were outside. There wasn’t a sign of either one of them so he pumped his wings and flew towards Ponyville.

Silver carefully opened her eyes and let out the breath she was holding in. She whimpered with the pain but she was also in awe on how well he flew.

He held her protectively as he used heavy strong beats of his wings to move swiftly. They flew through the outskirts of Ponyville and Silver noticed that Paradox was starting to breathe heavily. He flew over Sweet Apple Acres as he scanned the orchard and suddenly noticed trees being shook to loosen apples. He flew for it.

Silver didn’t know what he was doing since he took a slight detour into Sweet Apple Acres. “Doxy? What are you … Doing?” She gasped out as she was hit with another pain.

“Don’t worry…” He panted as he answered her. He suddenly reversed his forward movement to hover in place his wings beating hard and fast as he hovered over the trees being bucked and spotted Big Mac, Crispin Apple and Apple Jack.

Silver now knew what Paradox wanted to do. She saw her father. “Dad!”

Big Mac, AJ and Crispin all looked up. “What the hay is going on?” Apple Jack demanded.

Paradox was panting hard. “I can hardly talk… Tell him Silver.”

Silver nodded and let out a slight cry of pain then composed herself. “I’m in labor and Doxy is taking me to the hospital tell every pony please.” She said.

Big Mac ran forward just as Paradox turned and flew off with Silver. “Sorry…” He shouted back over his shoulder. “I got to get you there before I run out of breath.” He muttered.

Silver nodded. Paradox gave bigger wing beats and flew towards the hospital. When he got to the Ponyville general hospital he landed at the entrance and stood to regain his strength still holding her in his arms. Folding his wings behind him he walked her into the emergency room carrying her still. “My wife is in labor.”

The nurses perked up and they helped Paradox by taking Silver into the back. He went with them his wings were feeling tired as they unfurled and dragged behind him.

‘Silver is so beautiful why would she even want me? Oh she’s right next to me looking at me, oh I’m so scared, and I’m going to start freaking out. I’m going to…’ the thoughts ran through Paradox’s mind quickly.

Luna spread out her wings and smiled. “We are gathered here to unite two souls. Who is giving this lovely bride away?”

“I am.” Big Mac answered. He looked at Paradox. “Ya take care of her.” Paradox nodded.

There was a loud bawling from the front row of the seating. Every pony looked and saw Rainbow Dash bawling while Rarity pat her on the back. “Darling you’re making a scene.”

“My little girl!” Rainbow Dash cried. “She is so beautiful! Waaah!”

Silver grinned then whispered. “Mom… geez.”

“Okay, I’m okay.” Rainbow Dash muttered as she sniffled and Big Mac went to sit down next to her. She leaned on him and started to sniffle again. “Mac! Our daughter’s getting married!” She started crying again as she hugged him.

He patted Rainbow Dash. “Eeyup. Calm down Dash.”

Apple Jack leaned forward because she was sitting behind them. “How come ya’ll kept this a secret from me?” She whispered.

“You never asked.” Rainbow Dash whispered in between sobs.

“Ahem.” Luna continued. “These two lovely young souls are committed to be wed this lovely evening, Young Lord Paradox and Young Lieutenant Silver Dash.” She smiled at both of them. “If there is a pony who thinks these two should not be wed thou shall speak now, or be forever silent.”

Discord sat up and looked at the audience menacingly. No pony said anything.

Silver was looking at Paradox and he was looking at her. She saw him shaking slightly but he stared at her intently with his deep azure eyes. She was marrying him, she’ll wake up next to him, hug him and kiss him daily. She loved him so much.

Paradox was shaking so much. He shook his paws a bit because he felt sweaty in between his pads. He looked at her as she stood there and saw her eyes, she was looking into his. Her eyes beautiful pools of silver and magenta. He wanted to kiss her, he needed to kiss her.

Luna smiled and looked at Paradox. “Do thou Paradox take Silver to be your wife?”

Paradox blinked when he realized that Luna was talking to him. “Huh?”

Luna tried not to giggle. “Do thou take Silver to be your wife?”

“Oh! Gods yes! How can I not? She’s smoking hot!” He said.

Luna’s eyes widened. “Hmm, well then ye said yes.” She looked at Silver Dash. “Do thou take Paradox to be your husband?”

Silver blushed as she nodded. “Yes. I do.”

“The rings?” Luna said.

Crispin handed Paradox the ring, and Sprinkle Icing gave Silver a ring.

“The exchanging of rings to bind the souls together, to symbolize their bond. The circle is to represent the eternal love they have for one another. These two souls have consented to the arrangements of the ceremony we give all in attendance; Mr. and Mrs. Paradox. Mare and Draconequus. Ye can kiss thou’s wife.” Luna stepped back.

Paradox pulled Silver to him and kissed her deeply.weddingkissSilver melted into his kiss as he pulled her close to him. It was as if they were the only two in the room. She didn’t hear the noise of ponies cheering all she cared about was he was now her husband. When they stopped kissing he just looked into her eyes and smiled. “I love you.”

“I love you too.” She whispered back as she blushed. “My Doxy.”

He leaned up to her ear. “I cannot begin to tell you how pent up I am. Gods…”

She blushed. “Oh my goodness Doxy. We still have to go to the ballroom for the reception.”

He grinned at her. “Hmm, I know.”

The wedding procession started to file out of the throne room and Paradox was becoming anxious. He glanced at his father.

Discord smiled at his son. He made a motion with his paw and claw as if he was lifting something and he jogged in place. Paradox blinked. Discord sighed; he disappeared and then reappeared on Paradox’s shoulder dressed as an angel and in a miniature size. “Pick up your wife and run for it.” He said.

“What? Why?” Paradox asked.

“Dox, do I need to draw you a picture?” He asked as he pointed at Silver Dash. “Pick up your wife and disappear then show up in the ballroom later.”

“Oh… OH!” He grinned as he picked Silver up. Discord disappeared from his shoulder.

“Doxy! What’re you doing?” Silver giggled.

“I’m taking you.” He said as they disappeared and then reappeared at his old bedroom. His bed was made as he walked her over to it and set her down on it.

“Taking me?” She asked him.

“Oh yes. You’re my wife.” He whispered to her. “I just want to… start the honeymoon early.”

She smiled at him. “Doxy, I’m in my wedding dress, I don’t want to ruin it.”

“I’ll be careful. I…” He looked at the dress and tilted his head. “How do I get it off of you?”

She started to giggle. “After we go to the reception I’ll take it off for you.”

“Aww, Silver, you’re teasing me.” He muttered. “I want you bad.”

“Believe me Doxy, I want you too, but it’s not good to avoid your own party. I’ll make it up to you.” She motioned him over to her.

He got closer to her. “Yes?”

She took her hoof and pulled his tuxedo pants down to reveal his arousal. “Oh, is that for me?” She asked.

Paradox nodded as he looked down at her. “Yes. Silver, I ache just to be in you. Oh gods…” He moaned out when she rubbed her hot tongue on his tip.

Silver opened her mouth more as she rubbed her tongue slowly over his tip and then down his shaft, she kissed him softly then took him gently into her mouth.

“Uhh, mmm, gods Silver.” He shuddered as he thrust his hips to her, pushing himself deeper into her hot mouth.SFT

She looked up at him as she sucked him into her mouth and pulled back letting him push into her mouth again. Her tongue caressed rubbing over and around his shaft as she slowly pulled back sliding him out and slowly sucked him back in.

He was panting with pleasure as she worked her mouth over him. Every sensation of her tongue causing a shock of pleasure through his body. “Oh, I’m going to burst.” He moaned out and looked down at her.

She opened her mouth as she licked his tip again rubbing her tongue around his head and over the ridge of the tip she lapped up the precum and closed her mouth around him again.

“Uhh… Silver your mouth… ah.” He shuddered all over. Every nerve in his body was ultra-sensitive and he jolted when she took him deeply into her throat and ran her tongue along the bottom of him as she pulled back. She started to move her mouth as to stimulate him thrusting into her. He knew the pattern and started to push and pull on his own as his orgasm built up.

She let him take over but she continued to move her tongue around and against him, letting him push into her deep as she felt him swell, she relaxed her throat as he panted and moved faster.

Paradox placed his paw on her head. “Oh… uhh… ffff… Silver!” He growled as he pushed deeply into her muzzle and released his pent up desires.

Silver started to swallow his heated desires tasting him as he emptied into her mouth and down her throat. When he was done she pulled back still swallowing him and slowly cleaning his member with her tongue. “Do you feel less pent up?” She asked him as she licked her lips.

“Oh yes…” He moaned as he looked at his beautiful bride. “I think I can cope until later.”

Paradox stood and switched from one hoof to the other. He leaned on the cane his father gave him as he watched his friend Crispin walk down the aisle with Sprinkle Icing then took the spot next to Paradox.

“She looks beautiful.” Crispin whispered to Paradox.

“Hrrgah.” Was all Paradox could say as he swallowed hard.

The other two joined them up on the dais. Paradox was starting to shake like a leaf.

“It’ll be alright.” Zero whispered to him. “Breathe.”

The music changed and Paradox stood up straight. Every pony stood up and turned to look at the doors.

119.

“Omygosh! Omygosh! Omygosh!” Silver started to say in quick succession. “I’m freaking out.”

“Calm down.” Mac said. “Remember yer not alone.”

She took in a deep breath. “Okay, I can do this.”

Mac opened the doors and they both started down the aisle.

120.

“Gorgeous…” Paradox sighed as he stared at her. His legs felt weak and he swore his heart just skipped several beats.

In the front row a pony had started to sob and cry.

121.

Silver heard ponies gasp at her beauty, some were mumbling about Big Mac and she smiled. Her dad was always popular with the mares but they never knew why he stayed a bachelor. Silver now knew why and she was okay with it. She looked up at the dais and saw Luna standing and waiting. She glanced at her friends Lilly, Sprinkle and Scarlet Grace and smiled. She then looked at Paradox and blushed despite herself. He looked so handsome and so nervous.

Silver Dash swallowed hard as she looked at Big Mac, her father. She remembered always visiting Sweet Apple Acres with her mother and playing with Crispin and being watched by Apple Bloom. She had been held a few times by Big Mac and she remembered him giving her a kiss or two on her forehead. She remembered that he’d smile at her whenever she accomplished something. “Hello um, Dad.” She whispered to him.Silversdad

“Silver.” He didn’t really know what to say to his daughter, he never really held any long conversations with any pony except for Rainbow Dash when they were alone. He felt nervous and he looked down at his hooves. “I’m sorry.”

Silver smiled. “Why are you sorry? Mom told me everything, it was ultimately her decision, not yours.”

“I wanted ta marry yer Ma, I asked her many times. She kept turning me down saying she didn’t need a stallion in her life.” He blurted out. “I love yer ma, but she don’t really love me back. I love ya too. Look at ya on yer wedding day. Beautiful and happy. I got to hold ya, after ya was born. Ya looked so small and helpless and I didn’t want to let ya go.” His eyes teared up. “I love ya Silver. I’m happy ta walk ya down the aisle and show every pony that I’m yer pa, and proud of ya.”

“I’m proud to call you my Dad.” She kissed Mac on his cheek. “I love you Dad.”

“We can do this.” He said as he moved up beside her. “Are ya ready ta be married to the pony of yer dreams?”

“He’s a draconequus Dad.”

Big Mac nodded. “Eeyup, I guess he is then.” His ears perked up when the music started in the throne room. “So Silver are ya ready?”

She started to breathe heavy. “Yes, I can… do this. I can. Oh! I can’t! I’m scared.” She suddenly hugged Big Mac tightly.

Mac blinked and rubbed her back. “It’s alright Silver ya don’t have ta. It’s up to ya’ll.”

She moved away from him and blinked. “Are you kidding? I love Doxy, I can get married.” She righted herself and swallowed hard. “Ready Dad?”

Big Mac sighed. “Eeyup.”

The bride’s maid Sprinkle Icing and the best stallion Crispin walked up and looked at Big Mac and Silver before entering the throne room. “Ya look gorgeous.” Crispin said. “Wow.”

She smiled shyly. “Thank you.”

LillyRose and Zero walked up next. “You look beautiful.” Lilly complimented. Zero nodded.

Scarlet Grace and her husband came up. “Whoa, hot.” Flight Strike said and got nudged by Scarlet Grace. “You look great.” He grinned.

“Beautiful as always Silver.” Scarlet Grace said. “So happy you’re going to be part of the family.”

They all entered the throne room. Silver and Big Mac waited for their cue.

Paradox was breathing heavily. “I don’t know if I can do this.” He said as he walked to his spot on the dais.

“Yer fine.” Crispin spoke up. “She’s probably as nervous as ya are.”

Paradox began to fidget “What if she doesn’t want to marry me? What if she runs away? What if I am not cut out to be a husband?”crispinDox

“We cannot base our life on what ifs. It’s best we dive right into it and hope for the best. Embrace a little bit of chaos along the way.” Discord said as he walked up to his son. “Don’t worry Dox, you’ll do as well as I did.”

“As well as you?” He asked.

“Oh yes. All this…” Then something appeared in his paw, he opened it and started to eat crispy fried potatoes. “And a bag of chips.”

“Dad…” Paradox sighed and shook his head as Crispin looked shocked.

“I got your mind off of the wedding temporarily.” Discord said as he walked back to Fluttershy.

“I gots to go and walk the maid of honor in. Yer gonna be alright Dox?” Crispin asked.

With wide eyes Paradox nodded.

“Remember to breathe.” Discord said.

“Discord, leave your son alone he’s fine.” Fluttershy whispered.

Nearby three mares were watching the foals sleep, helping Fluttershy.

Fluttershy had her grandchildren in a baby carriage. She looked in on them and smiled. She then adjusted the baby sling on her chest with her own infant. All were sleeping. Trouble was the most difficult to get to sleep being that he was the oldest of the three. Silver Dash wanted LillyRose and Grace to be her bride matrons. Paradox wanted Zero and Flight Strike as his ushers. So Fluttershy volunteered to watch the foals.runetroubleTwilight trotted over to Fluttershy. “Do you need any help?” she whispered.

“No, right now I’m fine. They are all asleep I’m hoping they stay asleep until after the ceremony.” she whispered back. “The place looks very beautiful. I’d have my birds sing for the wedding but I have my hooves full. Plus I don’t think Paradox likes birds singing.”

Twilight laughed lightly. “Anything you do for your son, he’d love.”

“Thank you Twilight.” Fluttershy whispered as she rolled the stroller back and forth.

“I’ll send over Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo to help you with the foals.” Twilight stated.

“Oh, you don’t have to do that.” Fluttershy blushed.

“Fluttershy, your son is getting married, I think you need to do more than foal sit.” She whispered.

114.

The organ started to play rather spooky music every pony looked over to see Discord playing it dressed in a long cape and wearing a half mask. He stopped playing for a moment and hissed. “Don’t look at me! I’m hideous!” He then started to laugh as he disappeared letting the original organ player take a seat and start playing more appropriate music for the wedding.

Discord appeared in front of Fluttershy. “Hey sweetness? Looks like you have your hooves full of cute foals. Let me hold ours for you.”

She gave him the foal from the sling. “He’s asleep.” She whispered.

Discord smiled at the foal as he cradled him. “Little Snafu. Are you gonna behave while your big brother gets married?”

“Don’t wake him up.” Fluttershy warned him as she looked in on Trouble and Rune Eclipse. Rune Eclipse was snuggled up against her cousin Trouble.

Scootaloo, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle walked up to them. “Twilight sent us over here to help ya.” Apple Bloom said.

“Hmm. Hello.” Discord said to the three mares. “Yes, my wife would like to have a little help with foal sitting.”

“We all helped AJ raise Crispin.” Apple Bloom announced, “And Scootaloo did foal sitting for Rainbow Dash a couple times.”

Sweetie Belle shuffled her hooves. “I helped them. I’m good at singing lullabies to foals.”

Fluttershy smiled. “Hopefully you wouldn’t have to do much. Trouble and Rune are sleeping and Discord is holding Snafu. I am just hoping they rest until after the ceremony.”

“In here sir.” The guard opened a door and Big Mac walked in and stopped short when he saw Crispin and Paradox looking at him.

“Howdy.” He said and quickly went to where the tuxedos were.

Paradox followed him without saying anything as he scowled.

Crispin just smiled. “Howdy uncle. Whatcha doing?”

“It seems the bride wants me to give her away.” He looked over at Paradox.

“Interesting.” Paradox mumbled as he rubbed his chin. “Why would she want you? When she could have asked my dad? Since he’s been like a father to her, since she doesn’t really know her ‘real’ father.”

Mac put on the vest and looked at Paradox. “Are ya angry at me? If ya are I’d like to know.”

Crispin looked confused. “Uncle Mac? Why did ya keep it a secret?”

“Apple Bloom knew.” Big Mac answered.

Paradox growled as he put his paws up in frustration. “Yes and that makes everything all better! His younger sister knew…” He turned and walked into the other room while mumbling to himself.doxyupset“So, I’m guessing that he’s mad at me?”

Crispin laughed. “Nah, he’s not. He’s just making a scene. His pa is the same.”

Discord suddenly appeared. “Big Mac! I knew you were her father! I won the bet!” There was a sudden shower of bits falling from the ceiling down on them. “It was the family resemblance right on those cute cheeks.” He pinched Big Mac’s cheeks.

Big Mac swallowed hard as he backed away from Discord. “Ya knew I was Silver’s father? How?”

Discord laughed. “I’m not as clueless as some of the ponies here in Ponyville. I knew as soon as Rainbow Dash was showing.”

“Then ya’d know who my pa is?” Crispin asked suddenly.

Discord blinked at Crispin. “I do, but it is not my place to inform you.”

Paradox looked in. “Dad! What are you doing?”

Discord put his arm around Big Mac. “Talking to my good friend Mac! Look at him, he’s gonna be facing his biggest challenge, his daughter. I’m lending him my support. Just be yourself big guy.” He ruffled Mac’s mane and let him go. “Get ready, I hate to have this wedding be delayed for too long.”bonding

Paradox rolled his eyes and left the room again. “I’m already ready Dad! It’s the deadbeat that needs to get ready.”

“Hey now!” Big Mac yelled.

“Tut! It’s ok Mac… Dox doesn’t know the whole story.” Discord patted Big Mac on his back. “Just get ready and everything will turn out for the best.” He snapped his fingers and disappeared.

Twilight Sparkle was looking at the main ballroom, it was decorated immaculately. She glanced over and saw Princess Luna in her ceremonial dress and she was telling the guards where to stand.

Twilight rearranged the chairs again. Making sure they were organized precisely where they should be. She saw the doors open and Pinkie Pie bounced in, followed by Apple Jack and Rarity. Twilight waved them over to her.

“Darling this place looks absolutely divine.” Rarity beamed.

Apple Jack was last to join them because she was talking to Apple Bloom and Big Mac and telling them where she was going to be sitting. She walked to Twilight and her other friends. “Crispin being part of the ceremony makes me feel so proud.” She said.

“About as exciting as Sprinkle Icing being the maid of honor.” Pinkie giggled. “It’s almost as if she’s the one getting married.”

“Actually, AJ, I’m glad that your brother is here.” Twilight spoke up.

Apple Jack blinked. “Huh? Why’s that?”

“He needs to be a part of the ceremony.” Twilight stated. “Go get him we have a tuxedo to put him in.”

“Yer gonna have to explain this to me later Twi.” AJ muttered as she went over to her brother.

Big Mac looked at his sister after she talked to him. He shook his head, but Apple Bloom nudged him. He sighed and approached Twilight and the others. “Ya want me?”bigmacintosh

Twilight nodded. “Yes.” She waved to a guard. The guard approached. “Take Big Macintosh to the changing rooms. Follow the guard Mac. We need you to give the bride away. Rainbow Dash is way too emotional to do it.”

“Um, yeah but why me?” He asked.

“Silver Dash is requested you.” Twilight stated. “That is all I know.”

He gulped as he followed the guard.

Paradox stood looking at himself in the mirror. “I wonder what Silver is doing?” He adjusted his tie and looked at himself sideways.

Crispin laughed. “Probably pacing back and forth being nervous. Yer taking this rather calm.”

“Believe me, I’m not calm.” Paradox muttered “I’m trying not to run from this room.”doxy

There was a knock on the door. Both Paradox and Crispin looked at it. “Come in.” Crispin spoke up.

Spike poked his head in. “Hey guys, have any of you seen Big Mac?”

“My uncle? Why?” Crispin asked.

Spike shrugged. “Um… no reason.”

Paradox suddenly snapped his fingers and Spike was dragged into the room. “Why?”

Spike’s eyes widened. “You know I’m older than you Paradox. You can’t force me to talk.”

“True, but I need to know why you are asking for Big Mac?” He asked as he placed his paw on one of Spike’s small wings.

“Don’t hurt me. My wings are sensitive.” Spike whimpered. “I’ll tell you what I know!”

(Note: Spike in this story developed wings later on. He’s older and more mature in these stories. Although… Paradox is taller than Spike. He is no longer a baby dragon.)

The kitchen of Sugar Cube Corner Sprinkle Icing came bouncing into the room. “Mom! Mmmoooommmmmm!!!!!!!”

Pinkie blinked at her daughter as she placed a cake on the counter to cool. “Sprinkle!? What!? What is it? Did Timmy fall down the well? What is it girl? Speak!”

Sprinkle Icing stopped and looked at her mother curiously. “What?”

Pinkie started to giggle and snorted. “Nothing. Tell me what is going on.”

“Guess what? You will never guess in a thousand trillion years!” Sprinkle gasped out loudly.

“Silver Dash asked you to be her maid of honor in her wedding.” Pinkie Pie guessed.

“No! Umm… Yes… Mom… How did you know that?” Sprinkle still didn’t know how her mother had the strange ability to predict and guess things accurately.

“Pinkie sense. I told you that a million times. Sheesh Sprinkle, you’d think you would’ve learned by now.” Pinkie Pie started to mix up some icing. “When is the wedding?”

Sprinkle sat down and put her chin on the counter as she watched her mother mix the icing up. “Why don’t you guess that too?”

Pinkie Pie stared at her daughter. “I’m not a psychic.”

Her daughter groaned and sank down to the floor. “Oh sometimes I wonder if I was adopted.”

“Don’t be silly.” Pinkie said. “Just because your dad decided that he wanted to go back north to seek out some new type of crystal and leave me here to raise you by myself… doesn’t mean you’re adopted.” She walked over to her daughter and sat down next to her. “I am happy you get to be part of the wedding. That means I get to help with the reception and make the wedding cake!”

Sprinkle smiled at her mother. “You can see the bright side of everything.”

Pinkie nodded and gave her daughter a hug. “Smiling helps. Is Crispin going to be in the wedding too?”

Sprinkle Icing leaned against her mom. “I’m not sure yet. Paradox hasn’t asked any pony to be his best pony. I hope it is Crispin.”

“Sprinkle… why didn’t you tell me that you liked him? I’m good at keeping secrets.” Pinkie Pie smiled.

Sprinkle smiled and looked away. “I only thought he liked me because I made cookies.”

Pinkie looked at her. “You are more than cookies to that stallion.” She beeped her on the muzzle. “Now come on Sprinkle, help me put icing on the cake. Then we’ll talk about the wedding and what sort of party we can throw for the bride.”
