- Chapter 5: The Ruler of the Sun - part 1 -

Warning this chapter contains: Domination, spanking, rough sex, mind break.

It's the last day of your staying in the Crystal Empire. You, Twilight and Rarity sit around a table with pictures of some of the empire's table decoration. Rarity had suggested it on account of 'being the most bedazzling type of decor in all of Equestria.' Fluttershy hadn't shown herself yet, probably due to the fact that she finished that bottle of wine alone. Dash and Pinkie were off doing Celestia knows what while Applejack was busy going back and forth with different dresses and arguing with Rarity why she didn't think they would do in the wedding. Rarity was in the middle of showing a figurine of a crystal Swan when there was a knock on the door and someone came in with heavy steps.

Rarity sighed. "Applejack, darling, I told you you can't wear those boots with- oh, why hello there Shining." You look up to see Shining standing there. He looked a bit more tired than normal.

"Hi, I wondered if I could have a talk with the groom for a bit. It's about the Bachelor party." You realize in all the commotion about the Mother Test you had totally forgotten it, plus the fact that you weren't sure if they had Bachelor parties here.

"Yeah sure," Twilight smiles. "Rarity and I can figure out a few good ones so you can have a look at them later. Just don't tell more embarrassing stories about me Shining."

"Can't promise anything sis," he says with a smile. You stand up and follow Shining into the hall.

"I feel somewhat bad about having Twilight do most of the preparations," you say to start off the conversation.

"Don't be, girls are naturally better than us when it comes to things like that. Cadance barely allowed me to look at the sitting arrangements." You both chuckle, the type of nervous and embarrassing chuckle you do when you know the other person is about to ask or say something that might baer impact.

"So," you say after a walk in silence. "You said you wanted to talk about the Bachelor party?"

"Yes, I did. Well, that and a little about you."

[i]As long as you don't plan to make actions out of what you said yesterday, [/i]you think to yourself. "About me?"

"You're not planning to kidnap her, are you?" The question came right out of nowhere. "Marry her and then disappear back home for us to never see her again." You look at him in confusion, what had given him that idea? You notice a slight smirk and you get that he's joking.

"No, I don't plan to do anything like that," you say smiling. "I might miss my home across the sea but I have made Equestria my new home." You wander in silence a bit longer.

"Listen," Shining finally says. "I know I bragged about Twilight at our first dinner and how talented she was with magic but I bet she didn't fall in love with you just for your looks. I just want to know about my future brother-in-law and what makes you special from everyone else." He opened a door, seemingly at random from the others you had passed. You enter a room with a coffee table, two big chairs and the usual drawer and cabinet around various break rooms in the castle. "Have a seat," he says and gestures to you to sit in the other chair as he takes the other. "First off, tell me how you met my sister."

"Uhm, well," you say as you scratch your head, you really didn't think this would come up. "We met at her library, I know this will sound like a cliché but I had recently moved into town and I wanted to get a better grip on Equestrian history."

"Well then you certainly went to the right place," he commented. "Go on."

"She helped me find a good stack of books on Equestrian history and gave me a hand in some of the earlier linguistics from way back when. To be honest it was a bit of a clumsy first meeting but taking how it evolved I think it was pretty good."

Shining just nodded thoughtfully. "Okay. Now tell me, how did your first date go?"

"Our first date? Let's see, we had it three weeks after I first met her, I was very nervous about asking her and I remember I was prepared for her to say 'sorry, I already have a boyfriend,' but she said yes almost before I could ask. Technically it was more of a reading date, we sat and read together for a couple of hours which went by way too fast."

"I see. When did you first kiss her?" [i]Wasn't that a bit of a personal question? [/i]

"We first kissed after the third date, it was in the start of December and about five months after I first met her. I had helped her putting up decorations for the holiday, she likes being ahead of schedule sometimes. On the way out I noticed the mistletoe she had put up above the door and before I knew it, she'd kissed me."

Shining smiled. "You went went five months before kissing her? I'm not blaming you for taking it slow but Cadance and I were on second base within a month."

You shrug. "I guess neither of us wanted to make the mistake of going too quickly forward. Then again, five months is a long time when you think about. Do you mind me ask how it was for you and Cadance?"

"Of course not, it's just fair I tell you after what you told me. We met first day at Canterlot University, she had the locker next to mine and had a very similar class list to mine. The first kiss came before any real date however, after training she met me and planted a kiss right in front of my team. Our first date was at the prom, or first official date rather, we had a few unofficial ones in the weekends after sunset. She was also Twi's babysitter which also gave us some time together." You remember they mentioned it during dinner the other day, that Twilight had burst into her brother's room to take down a moaning monster. Easy enough to figure out what that meant now.

"So you and Cadance got to third base before getting married?" It didn't quite match the story she told you about her Mother Test.

"Well not exactly. We never really did it before the wedding, we merely pleasured each other. Not strictly sex but not far from it. Besides, the bride isn't required to be a virgin, it's just preferred."

You think about that for a minute but push it aside. "Anyway, let's forget about that for now. Seeing as how you wanted to talk about my Bachelor party, how was yours?"

"Oh, why it was..." he sounded a bit embarrassed and his eyes wandered the room. "To tell the truth, I didn't have a Bachelor party. The wedding was held pretty strictly due to the threat of a changeling attack, which happened, and so I didn't get one. It's actually partly the reason I want to help out with yours. I hope that's okay with you, it's you who's getting married here."

"Yeah, I don't see why not. Personally, it completely slipped my mind. I'm not sure I even know what goes on at a Bachelor party."

Shining Armor looked surprised. "You don't know? Wow, you kinda remind me of Twilight before she moved to Ponyville. Just give me a list of friends you want along on this and I can fix the rest for you."

"Thanks a lot Shining, I'm not quite sure what to say."

"Don't think about it, at least I can make sure you get a party before your wedding. Do you know anyone off the top of your head?"

"Well I do have a friend who moved with me to Ponyville, never really liked staying in such a quiet, little town so he went off to experience Equestrian culture first hand. He comes by from time to time to brag about what he's seen before going off again. There's also some guys I've befriended back in Ponyville but that's mostly it."

"Well that sounds like plenty to me... Oh, one thing, I would like to add one name to the list: Spike. Twilight probably told you about him."

Spike; fire breather, Twilight's former assistant and right hand, even though she wrote with left. She had hatched him at her interim exam to get into higher class magic study and become her childhood friend after Shining moved out. He had lived with her in Ponyville for a while and, after what Pinkie told you, he'd had a keen interest in Rarity. However, he had moved back to Canterlot after reaching maturity and was now a part of the royal guard after what Twilight had told you.

You remember meeting him once around the holidays when you and Twi had your first kiss. She had been invited to an evening meetup with her friends and Spike who'd taken the trip to Ponyville. You hadn't read too much into the kiss other than that she liked you which was why you were just as shocked as the others when she told that you and her were a couple. The words 'I love you' had passed more than twice between you and you couldn't deny that you had started getting feelings for her. Spike however seemed a bit less pleased about it and gave you the cold shoulder while making sure nothing developed between you and Twi. You start to wonder how he would take the news about you marrying Twilight now.

"I'm just thinking since you will probably meet him back in Canterlot," Shining says, pulling you out of your thoughts. "You didn't get to meet him last time in Canterlot I bet, he was probably off on the annual training camp, they tend to be off this time of year. Trust me, he's a real good guy when you get to know him."

[i]Lets just hope he doesn't fry me first,[/i] you think. Dragons were known for their long-lasting anger but then again, dragons didn't normally join the royal guard or grow up amongst people.

[hr]

"I fucked it up!" Twilight yells. "I completely and utterly fucked up and now we're doomed!"

Twilight wasn't normally the type to curse which meant she really screwed something up. Luckily, there were only her friends and you in the train car so she didn't embarrass herself in front of strangers. You were about half way back to Canterlot so it was surprising she first found out she'd done something wrong now.

"What's the problem now Twi," Dash grumbles as her yelling woke her up from her snooze. "Ya didn't forget your bags in the Crystal Empire, did you?"

"Did we?!" Rarity jumps up. "Oh no, what if we did. What am I going to wear at the dinner with the Princesses? I had just gotten a new dress for this occasion and everything. We need to turn back right this instant!"

"Calm your horses Rarity," AJ says. "Ah checked; we got'em all with us."

"I did too," Pinkie exclaimed, waving her hand like she was in third grade. "I even counted them backwards and I'm absolutely duper sure we got them all. Now what did you fuck up Twi? Wait, have you forgotten to make the invitations? Or did you just realize Cadance wasn't Cadance but instead a giant mantis which plans to take over Equestria?" You all stare dumbfounded at her. "What, you never seen a totally bonkers sci fi movie before?"

"It doesn't matter," Twilight says as she started to get a panicked look. "I just realized who I set him up against and now the wedding is as good as over. I will become depressed and bury myself in my own books and not see real light other than the candle I will use for fifty years. I will end up without friends and six cats as substitute for human interaction and I will become the failed student of Celestia who gave her fiancé an impossible task just to see him suffer and everyone will-"

"Don't say that Twilight, you can't know that yet." You put a hand on her shoulder. "I have already managed one princess plus your mom, I won't let some goddess of the Sun scare me away from you."

She laughed nervous. "Haha, excuse me if I sound disbelieving but you don't really know what you're up against. Here," she gives you a bunch of papers she's been working which you assumed was wedding plans. "I've done the math and found out it will be almost impossible. The numbers don't lie, I looked over it twice." You have a hard time believing she has calculated your chances but looking over the papers it seems she actually did it.

"Nonsense Twi," AJ says, sounding as disbelieving as you were a second ago. She takes the papers from you. She looked at them before turning them upside-down. "Ah don't get much out'a these numbers but ah sure as heck ain't gonna base any outcome on these."

"I wanna see too." Pinkie snatches the equations from AJ and looks through them. "Ooh, look at these diagrams and stuff on page five. Can you make a cake diagram with chocolate frosting? Or maybe one with lots of creamy frosting." You notice she gets a distant look, the type she gets whenever she imagines something delicious and starts to drool. "Hmm, creamy, sugary frosting of deliciousness." Embarrassed, Fluttershy gets up and wipes it away with a handkerchief.

You put your arms around Twilight, trying to calm her down. "Take it easy Twily, just breathe calmly." Her heavy breathing starts to slow down and you look over at her friends. "Could you give us a minute?" With a little mumbling, they all left the cart. You sit her down before sitting yourself and let her rest her head against your shoulder and you stroke her head comfortingly. It seems to help her and you find it soothing for yourself. She takes off her red-rimmed glasses and puts them on the small table she was writing at.

"What if Celestia is into something like vore or dismemberment? Do you think you would still go through with it?" She seemed to have a difficult time letting go than you first thought. "What if she want you to put your horn in her? What if she snaps your horn off?"

"Let's talk about something else," you say quickly, not wanting to imagine that image. "Let's talk about us living together, you said you want to stay in the library."

She seems to relax again. "Yes, I mean, it has a lot of rooms which we just need to work on. We might have to have some building done too."

You hum in agreement. "We would have to get the double bed that we found two weeks ago, change out some stuff and maybe do some painting together."

"Hmm, we could use that one room which I tend to use as guest room into something else."

"What about a children's room?"

Twilight turns and looks at you. "Children's room? Isn't that a bit far ahead? I mean, yeah it sounds wonderful but... it just seems a bit sudden and I never really pictured you as the one to ask about kids."

You shrug. "It's just a thought. Besides, isn't it you who always says we have to be well ahead? We don't have to decide now, just put it on ice for a while."

She nods and sinks back against your shoulder. "It does sound nice though, having a kid."

"It does, doesn't it?" You sit and let the thought drift around for a bit. "And then we would need a place for you and your studies."

"A study... one of the upper floor rooms would be pretty good, just move some boxes and such."

A question pops up in your head, one you haven't thought of since she first mentioned that she was Celestia's student. "Can I ask you something?"

"Anything."

"I know how hard you work and read and stay prepared for everything Celestia could ever ask you but what actually happens when you've finished with it?"

Twilight gets a thoughtful frown. "You know, at the time I thought just about the honor of being the student but I've never thought what will happen when I'm finished." She crawls closer to you. "Everything in my life is changing, if that goes too…"

"Twilight, I can promise you that I will never change unless you want me to. Know that whatever happens, you can trust me to love you just as much as I always do, with all my heart."

She looks up at you and gives you a smile that makes you feel warm inside. "How do you always manage to make everything feel so much better?"

"Because I'm gonna be your husband and I need to be able to make you feel better in any way I can since you deserve to be happy." You lean over and kiss her on the head. Twilight wasn't satisfied with a pat on the head and instead went for one on the lips.

You are about to say something but she puts a finger over your mouth. "Let me guess, I love you?" You smile and nod. "Me too. In the sense that I love you too I mean." You chuckle silently before you start making out again.

"What is pie divided by seven?" Pinkie calls out as she pokes her head in. Out of instinct, Twilight jumps up, flushing with embarrassment. "Oh oops, did I come in at a bad time?"

"Kinda, yeah. What do you want?"

Pinkie taps herself on the head to remember even though she just said it. "Oh yeah, pie divided by seven."

She had to think about it for a minute. "Pi devided by seven is… zero point four four eight seven nine eight nine five zero five... why do you need to know that even?"

"Well we got a pie and I need to cut it up so everyone gets a piece. Oh, I forgot to ask too, do you guys want some? It's red apple."

"Yeah, sure." You get up as well, a little red in the face too. "Come on Twilight, it's your favorite."

You follow Pinkie back to the cart where AJ has already cut up the pie. You sit down and take the slice they hand and you all sit and talk about this and that as the train continues to get closer to your destination.

[hr]

The ride from the train station to the castle wasn't as glamorous as the one in the Crystal Empire- which was good, that ride had been a bit too much for your liking anyway. As you arrived at the castle, you were greeted by the Princess secretary, a pale unicorn with dark hair called Raven, and two generals from the Guards. You were all escorted through the halls with a seemingly endless red carpet and banners with the moon and sun on them. After having walked in what feels like an hour you finally reach a set of doors which the secretary says is where they are waiting. You enter a half circular room which seems to be used as a strategy room with a table covered with the map of Equestria. The floor has the moon and the sun merged into one circle much like a Ying and Yang symbol. Behind the table, overlooking some scattered papers over the lower part of the country, is Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Spike.

The Sun Goddess was wearing a purple top which seems to start from her golden necklace and connect with the backside above her sides. Her flowing pink, green and light blue hair reached to about her beige jeans held by a belt with the sun emblem on it. The Princess of the Night had a more formal look, a dark blue dress that split by her hip and ended below her knees. Spike however, was wearing an armor made out of gold and white over his purple and green scales. It was mainly a chestplate, shoulderpads, plates along the upper sides of his arms and a pair of gloves, his lower body had full protection. They look up as you come into the room and the three of them smile, spike having the widest one.

"Twilight!" The dragon ran around the table which was when you notice his tail as well.

"Spike!" Twilight goes forward as Spike embraces her.

You realize first now the height on Spike and the two goddesses. Last time you saw Spike he had been a little smaller than you but now he was as tall as Big Macintosh who was half a head higher than you. Luna was about the same height if a bit taller while Celestia herself had to be a head if not a little more. The rest of the girls join in on hugging the armored dragon, only you stand beside as they hug it out besides the royalties.

"It's so good to see you again Spike," Twilight says. "Have you been given a new armor?"

"Yep," he says proud. "I am officially the first dragon captain of the Royal Guards."

"That's absolutely wonderful Spikey Wikey," Rarity exclaims. "I must admit I regret turning you down when I see how tall and handsome you have become. I mean, look at those muscles."

"Uhm, thanks Rarity," he says embarrassed.

"Hey Spike, do you think you can run faster than I can fly? I've been dying to have some real competition to test out my awesome flying skills."

Spike chuckles. "Okay Dash, I'll give a run for your money afterward some time."

"How strong are you now?" Pinkie asks. "How much can you lift? Do you even lift? Lift me, lets see if you can lift me!"

"Okay then." He grabbed Pinkie under her arms and lifts her in the air with only minor difficulties as she squeals like a little kid.

You hate to ruin such a lovely reunion but you cough to remind them you were still there. "Oh, right," Twilight says, coming over to you and taking your hand. "Spike, I know this might seem sudden and I should have told you earlier but... we are engaged."

A pressing silence fills the room as you await his reaction. "That's great Twilight, I'm so happy for you." He really looks to be happy on her behalf.

"You are? I mean, you and him didn't exactly part as the best of friends last time."

"Oh that, yeah sorry about that. It was childish of me to behave like that, you know how much I see you as family."

Twi smiles. "I know, no reason to forgive."

"My, this is quite the reunion." Celestia steps out from behind the table.

"Princess Celestia, I'm so sorry." Twilight quickly bows followed by her friends and you.

"Please Twilight, you really don't have to do that under these circumstances. You are getting married my faithful student, if anything I should bow to you."

"No, please don't," Twilight says quickly. "The Princess should never bow to anyone."

Celestia giggles. "Very well then."

"I guess congratulations are in order, though it is not yet decided," Luna says as she shakes Twilight hand. "It is my understanding you have set him on the quest on a triple Mother Test, is it not?"

"That's right, he's completed the one of my parents and Cadance so now we are here."

The secretary comes into the room and bows. "My princesses, Captain, guests, the dinner is ready in the dining room."

"Thank you Raven," Celestia says. "Come everyone, it must have been a long trip from the Crystal Empire and you're probably all starving."

"Am I ever." Pinkie jumps after the goddesses as they leave for the dining room. "I could eat a horse, well, maybe not a horse, more like a small pony. You know what I definitely would eat? A pony cake, a cake shaped like a pony. How's that for a sweet pet?"

"Can you believe Pinkie hasn't gotten diabetes yet?" Dash whispers to you as you walk down the hallways again. "I think it's unfair she is that slim for eating so much candy, I have to fight to stay like this with all the parties she's throwing."

"Some people just burn fat and sugar quicker than others," you explain. "It explains why she's so energetic all the time since her body produces glucose from the-"

"You're such a nerd," she groans, clearly not interested in hearing the silence behind it. "No wonder Twilight wants to marry you."

You feel someone tap you on the shoulder and turn to see it was Spike, a somewhat darker look than before. "Could I just have a word with you before we eat? There is something I want to clarify."

"Yeah, okay Spike." You follow the armored dragon as he turns a corner away from the group. You enter a room with closed curtains and only a dim light from the sunset outside lights up the place.

"So what seems to be the problem?" Spike gives you a foul look.

"You, you are the problem. Twilight is like a sister to me and I don't want her to be left with a broken heart."

You blink. "Broken heart? Do you think I would-"

"I'm not finished," he interrupts. "As the Captain of the Royal Guards I have a reputation to uphold but I wouldn't hesitate a second to throw it away on you if I get the word that she is unhappy because of you. Torture is illegal in Canterlot and personally I agree with that but I will make an exception for you if it comes to it. Got it?"

"For Celestia's sake," you mumbled. You're really getting tired of threats and the general way people treat you. You get it's for Twilight's sake and that they only wants what best for her but you had pretty much enough of it.

Spike grabs you by the collar. "I said, do I-"

"YES!" you snap back. "You, Night Light and Shining have made it crystal fucking clear! All I want is to marry the woman I love and I get the protective role you and the others take, but honestly, I'm getting pretty sick of getting threats of harm, prisons and torture. I can assure you and everyone else that her happiness is my highest concern. So please, if you could, leave me the fuck alone."

He holds you for another second before he lets go. "Good, that's what I wanted to see."

"What do you mean?"

"I wanted to see you stand up for her and yourself," he smiles. "There aren't many soldiers who dare stand up to me. I will say you got some guts doing that."

You straighten out the collar, luckily his gauntlet didn't poke a hole in your clothes. "So this was sort of your test on me. As if I didn't have enough already."

He pats you on the shoulder. "At least you only have one left. You know, I really am sorry for how I was around winter when she announced you were together."

"It's... It's okay Spike." You weren't the kind to hold on grudges and especially not with the Captain of the Royal Guards. "I can guess how it must seem, Twilight suddenly being with someone you've never seen. If it helps any then I can promise I have done nothing but love her the past two years."

"Actually, it does help. It's just good to know you really like her, I guess that's what the Mother Test can prove."

You smile and suddenly remember something. "Hey, Shining Armor said he would help out with the planning of my Bachelor party and he thought you might like to come with us."

Spike gives you a wide grin. "You bet, there aren't many who want to spend a night on the town with a firebreather. Just give me a place and date."

"I will but we should join the others for dinner first."

"Right, let's go." He opens the door but lingers. "Does this mean we're square?"

"Sure, I see no reason to hold anything against you."

Spike nods and smiles. "Thanks." He leaves and you follow him.

[hr]

The dinner was more of a banquet or even Celestia's subtle way of suggesting the menu for your wedding. There were various choices of servings, from warm to cold food, luscious, colorful servings of greens and fruits. There was some that contained meat but those were made for Spike's sake, crystal eating was just a starter phase for younger dragons to strengthen their teeth and fuel their fire breathing. Seeing how Spike was past that, he had acquired a taste for meat but since he only got prepared meat, it kinda made it more acceptable seeing how it was already dead. Fluttershy however didn't seem too comfortable even if Spike used knife and fork.

"So," Celestia asks. "How has your trip back and forth been Twilight?"

"Oh it's been very fun, I've gotten a few new ideas for decorations to the wedding and some interesting dress designs."

"That's good to hear, I hope it won't be too difficult to make those changes to the prepared dress, what with the planned date for the wedding."

"Oh no your highness," Rarity says. "It might come close but I can assure you it will be an easy fix."

"And everything else is in order for the big day? Of course, I know you are quite thorough and with this I imagine you're even more so, it's just out of curiosity I ask."

"Well I hope it's all in order." You see Twilight getting a glimpse of panic in her eyes. "There are still some minor things which could still turn out to be big things, though I sincerely hope not."

"It always feels like that Twilight, weddings are big things but they turn out to go smoother than you think." Celestia's words seems to set Twi's mind at ease. "Now what I also want to know is the groom's story." You look up and almost gets the carrots stuck in your throat.

"M-me?" You are used to people asking either Twilight or both of you about the wedding plans and what you plan for the future.

Celestia rests her chin on her hand as she looks at you. "Yes you. With Twilight being my student, I already know most about her but I don't believe I know your backstory."

"Ooh, a twist," Pinkie exclaims. "This is gonna be an interesting episode." Dash rolls her eyes at Pinkie.

"I know you're from Europia, the land across the sea. I know you don't believe in me and my sister being the rulers of day and night which was why the first colonies traveled from Equestria. You live in, the way I see it, a more inclosed community with more strict taboos than us yet you have bigger metropolises than us. This just gives me a general idea of who you are but I would like to know some more personal things about who my student is going to marry."

"Okay, well... my mother has a job at a traveling agency which requires a lot of traveling across the continent. My father died when I was young so I never really knew him but due to his passing I ended up in boarding school since my mom was out so often. I wasn't really big on making friends, the only friend I had was the guy I shared room with who came with me to Equestria and is traveling around to see the country. I passed school with mostly A's, I got a B in advanced physics and shameful C in gymnastics, and got first place in a region chess tournament. My mom has actually been very supportive even though she wasn't much around, she would take days off for my birthdays and we were mostly always together around the holidays."

"Well that does say alot about you," Celestia says. "Any other things like favorite sport, a book, older flames..."

You chuckle. "Oh no, I was way too shy to ask any girl out back then. I was definitely a bookworm, mostly an interest in grand adventure books and some science fiction. I remember reading one adventure book with some guy called Crescent Sunrise who wielded a sword with fire enchantments and a fiction about some one-eyed man, having lost the other for some reason, who crossed between universes through a green door." You pull yourself together. "Sorry, I'm going out on a tangent. Other things about me... I once punched a guy, a bully, which gave me a bandage for three weeks. I'm also slightly allergic to manticore venom, found that out in science class."

Celestia nods. "Interesting, there aren't many who react to that venom. It also stains worse than wine on the carpet." Fluttershy seems to twitch ever so slightly by the mention of wine, probably still feeling the bottle from the Crystal Empire.

"May I ask, have the two of you planned how you want to spend the following wedding days?" Luna asked. It took you a second to understand what she was asking.

"Oh, the honeymoon. No, we haven't made any specific plans on where we want to go yet, we're still looking." It looks like an idea pops into Celestia's head but instead of speaking up, she continues to eat.

"Well I would like to know as soon as possible if you pass the test so that I may prepare a little something for your first night together."

"Ooh, are you planning to maybe do something like copy the night sky in the church's ceiling or lend them your wagon of the night?" Pinkie asks in a mouthful but swallows before continuing. "No wait, it does look a bit too intimidating for a wedding... I know, I could repaint it for you! It could be in red, green, blue, yellow or maybe a flame design?"

Luna starts to explain she wasn't planning on anything of the sort but she kept going on and on about paint jobs which Dash only added on with. You all have to laugh as the suggestions got more and more ridiculous and how the night goddess continued to prevent more ideas. The rest of the dinner kept almost the same hype after Fluttershy got talked into trying out something stronger than wine. Of course this time it doesn't get so much out of hand as before, just enough to make her a bit less shy.
