As requested by ElijahBleu, I'm writing a sequel to my recent Discopie fanfic, 'His Favourite Element', called Married Life. I'm worried that some might think I should have left 'My Favourite Element' without a sequel, so if you really want it to stay that way, I recommend that you don't read this. For those who do, however, I hope you enjoy it! :D
As Twilight Sparkle wandered the streets of Ponyville, she smiled at the sight she saw before her. Everypony was happy and laughing. There was no danger, no fear, not like before in Celestia's reign, where you never knew when you'd be banished to the moon or sent to magic kindergarten. Everyone tried to be happy back then. But when things changed, it was for the better. Though, Celestia herself didn't see it that way.
"I'LL GET YOU ALL FOR THIS! I'LL HAVE MY REVENGE WHEN I RULE ONCE AGAIN! OH, YES! YOU'LL SEE! YOU'LL ALL SEE! YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SURVIVE WITHOUT ME!"
Celestia had screamed and yelled at the ponies that stood witness as she was taken away for good in a wooden cart, something that was now used to transport criminals to a place called a 'prison'. Twilight sighed. That was a dark day for all involved. But it had to come eventually. They hadn't realised what she was beforehand...
Soon, her thoughts were interrupted by a familiar blue pony racing towards her with a speed that was even abnormal to her: Rainbow Dash.
"Twilight! You've gotta come with me, right now!"
Rainbow Dash proceeded to fly off, as Twilight proceeded to stand in confusion and slight annoyance.
"What in the world..."
Rainbow Dash flew back in a hurry.
"Didn't I tell you to follow? Come on!"
And with that, Rainbow Dash flew off again. Twilight Sparkle sighed like a tired mother, but soon followed Rainbow Dash to see what was going on. Soon enough, she found herself in front of Pinkie Pie's house. As it sunk in, a joyful smile spread across Twilight's face. She rushed in to see if what she thought was indeed true, and was welcomed by an excited Rainbow Dash and an extremely happy (as per usual) Pinkie Pie.
"Hi, Twilight! I haven't seen you in ages! How are you? Want a cupcake? I've got some cupcake-making tips from ponies all around Equestria while travelling with Discord, so I'd say they're my best batch yet!"
Before Twilight could say a word, a cupcake was shoved into her mouth by an overexcited Pinkie Pie, while a happy Rainbow Dash giggled in the background, even though it was abnormal for her to do so. 'She must have missed Pinkie Pie more than we realised', thought Twilight Sparkle, with a small smile, or whatever smile she could accomplish with a mouth full of cake. However, when Twilight did manage to eat it, she realised that it did indeed taste incredible. An expression of satisfaction reached Twilight's face as she was engrossed by the different flavours, causing Pinkie Pie to smile even more.
"You like it? I knew you would! Oh, I can't wait until everypony else gets here! I can't wait for them to try it!"
Rainbow Dash, who had now started to calm down to her more 'cool' state, as she would put it, sat down at a table and proceeded to pull out a pair of sunglasses and put them on.
"I tried to get them to follow me, but I guess I might have been too fast for them."
Just at that moment, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy and Spike all burst in through the door, and yelled their friend's name in unison.
"PINKIE PIE!"
They all then rushed to hug her, even Fluttershy, though she still seemed a bit more shy than the others. Soon, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash joined in, until they were all squashed together, laughing and falling over each other like the great friends they still are. After everypony had calmed down, Twilight Sparkle was the first to speak up.
"Pinkie Pie, what are you doing here?"
"Visiting you, of course! I told you I would!"
However, it was Rainbow Dash who asked the question that was on everypony's minds.
"But where's Discord, then?"
"Oh, he'll be arriving any minute now!"
To this, everypony reacted with horror, though it was Spike who brought up the obvious.
"But he's been banished!"
"Tehe, I know, silly! He's not actually coming here...you see, we found out loads of new stuff while travelling, and one of them was this magic spell that allows people to appear without actually being there. I'm not sure how it works, but Discord deals with all the technical stuff like that. Oh!"
Pinkie Pie looked up at the clock that hung on the wall.
"He's coming now!"
Pinkie Pie proceeded to sit at a table near the middle of the room, and watched with deep concentration a blank space, while the other ponies watched in anticipation. Then, after about ten seconds, what looked like a large cloud of dust particles filled the space where Pinkie Pie had been watching. As the other ponies gasped, the particles began to shift and move, even changing colour and shape, until they transformed into the shape of Discord.
"Why hello again, ponies."
They all gasped at the tall image of Discord that stood before them.
"Dizzy!"
Pinkie Pie jumped up and smiled up at him, as Discord looked down at her and smiled back, and the others had to try not to laugh at Discord's new nickname.
"I'm sorry I'm a bit late, Pinkamena. I did get the spell to work, as you can see, but it still has a few glitches."
"Aww, that's okay. I'm just glad you're here."
"By the way, have you told everypony the good news?"
"Oh! I completely forgot! Ahem!"
Everypony looked at Pinkie Pie as she made an announcement.
"Everypony, me and Discord are officially married!"
And with the last word, Pinkie Pie jumped up into the air with glee, laughing, while the other ponies congratulated her, and Discord smiled gently. Everypony, that is, except one. Rainbow Dash, who stood near the doorway, burning with anger as her teeth bared in a primal action of hatred. She then proceeded to rush out, then take off and fly away, tears of frustration in her eyes. Pinkie Pie looked around.
"Rainbow Dash?"
But Rainbow Dash had already settled on a cloud, out of Pinkie Pie's sight, refusing to come down, even when she saw a confused Pinkie Pie come outside, look around then shrug and go back inside. Rainbow Dash began talking to herself.
"Yeah, that's right. Go back inside, to your precious husband. Abandon me, like you did before. Like I care. I have more important things to do."
And with that, Rainbow Dash slumped into the cloud she sat on, ignoring the laughter she could hear from inside.
