Rarity and Fancy Pants' Wedding

At Carousel Boutique, a fashionista was hard at work with her latest jeweled creation.

"Dignity, sweetheart, would be you be so kind to help Mother find another blue gem?"

"Yes, Mom." said the young gentlecolt who looked exactly like his parents with his white coat and horn. But he did have his mother's mane and his father's eyes. He went to a trunk and opened it to find a white album with a wedding picture of his parents on the front cover and a sapphire ring in a glass box. He magically picked up the box and went back to his mother, "Was this what you mean, Mother?"

"Oh, no, darling. Not this one; it's much too important to me and your father."

"How come?"

"This was the engagement ring I picked out when your father proposed to me."

"Ah, yes. I remember that day quite well." Fancy Pants came into the room.

"Not mention this was the ring that kept me going when things took a turn for the worst," pointed Rarity.

"Quite right. You wouldn't even be here, son, if it weren't for your mother."

"What do you mean?" Dignity questioned.

"Well, as you know, I was the last of your aunts to get married. Your father and I went back and forth between towns to date. Why, I had him as a date to your aunt Pinkie Pie's wedding."

"I knew the pressure would be on me if I didn't make a proposal to your mother soon."

"So your father invited me to Canterlot for a week, unaware of the surprise that was in store for me…"

It was a beautiful Canterlot morning on Main Street as Rarity and Fancy sat at the café with Rarity wearing one of her hats.

"Such a marvelous hat, my darling." complimented Fancy.

"Thank you, and you are as handsome as ever, my dearest heart."

"Thank you, my dear. If you're finished with your tea, I would like to show you something."

"Really? What is it?"

"You'll just have to wait and see." he winked.

Shortly after, he had Rarity close her eyes as he led her.

"Are we there yet?" she asks.

"In one more moment, my dear," He opened a door and took her inside, "Alright, now!"

She opened her eyes and to her surprise saw that they were in a huge jewelry store, "Wha… What is…?"

"I couldn't make a decision of which ring you would want, so I thought I'd let you make the choice instead."

"Ring? You mean…?" her eyes widened in hope.

"But of course, my sweet Rarity. Will you do me the honor of being my wife?"

"I… I…" she stammered, feeling in a daze, and then shook out of it. She shouted out, "YES! A million times yes!" She started looking around and saw the prices, "But darling, I couldn't choose a ring that would so expensive…"

"Money is no object for my lovely bride. I love you."

She held her hoof to her heart sighing, "Ohh… I love you, too." they touched horns then she went back to scouting out rings. It took a while, but she finally settled on a beautiful sapphire ring.

Once they made the purchase, she put the ring on her horn. They strolled down the street where the Canterlot elite stared at them and whispered around them. This got the attention of photographers and took photos, which soon became news all across Equestria. One mare in Manehattan wasn't too pleased with the news.

"Ugh!" Suri Polomare crumpled up the paper titled Manehattan Times. "She just has to have the perfect life, doesn't she?! As if being a big shot fashion designer wasn't enough for her, she has to go and get engaged to the highest member of Canterlot society!" she paced in her apartment, "I'm living in this pit, thanks to her! She stole away the only dress maker who would take my orders! Rarity has hurt me in more ways than one, and now she mocks me by having such a posh life! Well, we'll see about that…" she left with a menacing look on her face.

Rarity was back home in Pony-Ville showing the girls her ring, to which they squealed in delight.

"Now we'll all be married!" Pinkie jumped.

"Oh, Rarity, we're all so happy for you." said Twilight.

"Thank you so much, my friends! I am most happy as well! I can finally finish my wedding gown!" she led them to a corner of the shop covered with curtains, and then used a rope to pull it back. The girls had to cover their eyes from a bright shine and managed to see a mannequin wearing a diamond-crusted gown with a diamond head piece attached to a veil on top.

"Ooh…" they admired.

"It's not quite finished, but it should be now with my wedding coming up! I'm so excited!"

"We're excited, too." said Fluttershy.

"And of course, what's a wedding without all of you being my bridesmaids?"

They squealed again and went into a tight group hug.

Fleur-de-lis was in her pink silk robe when she finished reading the paper in her penthouse and took a sip of coffee. Then, she heard a ding at her door, "Come in." she said.

A door pony walked in, "A Ms. Suri Polomare to see you, ma'am."

"Yes?" she saw the seamstress by the door, "Is there something I could do for you?"

"As a matter of fact, yes." Suri answered.

"Then what?"

"I understand from other ponies you were old friends with Fancy Pants."

"It was more than that. We used to date; I was his marefriend."

"But I take it didn't work out, or else why would he be engaged to some other pony?"

"Why would this concern you? Why do you care that my ex would get married to another mare?"

"It doesn't matter if I care. What matters is do you care? As the ex-marefriend, you must still have feelings for him. It might upset you he chose another over you."

"I do not care. We both agreed we weren't getting anywhere with our relationship and went our separate ways."

"Well, what would I say is that the pony he's marrying doesn't love him and rather marry him for his money."

"Where did you hear that?"

"Oh, believe or not, but I know his fiancée Rarity personally. I'm telling you right now that she doesn't care about him; he's just an easy mark to get up there."

Fleur pondered on this. She remembered when she first met Rarity and she did have expensive taste, so some of what Suri was saying could be true… And Fancy took an interest in her afterwards and made her his favorite party guest… It could be possible that Rarity was just using him… She turned to an old photo of her and Fancy Pants. She did care for him and would hate herself if she allowed Fancy to married some pony who didn't really love him.

"Well… Thank you for telling me this… I think I shall meet with Fancy before it's too late."

"And you will want to marry him instead?"

"If he wants me to."

"You know, I found this interesting spell that can forget someone in a heartbeat. If you performed this spell, then you're bound to make Fancy forget all about that little money-grabber and he never has to worry about her again."

"Hmm, I suppose you're right… Thank you."

"No, thank you…" she turned her head to give off an evil smirk.

Days later, Rarity was preparing for her wedding in the castle of Canterlot. The girls were right by her side helping.

Twilight held up the list, "Alright, we have the flowers, candles, catering…" she kept listing off as she was check marking.

"Everything is just perfect!" Rarity exclaimed as she looked around the room.

On the other side of the room, while Fluttershy was arranging the roses, she heard a psst sound and looked down to see her husband wearing big rose petals around his head. Then, he surprised her by kissing her nose. She giggled, "Discord, come out of there."

He complied and popped to her side, "Sorry to startle you, honey, but I'm done with cleaning the hallway. So, Flutters, any ideas on what to give Rarity for a wedding gift? How about a set of spoons?" he popped up a case full of silver spoons ranging in different sizes and shapes.

"Hm, I don't think so."

"Forks, then?" he had the same case, but it was filled with forks.

She tittered, "No, but good try. Don't worry, I'll think of something. By the way, how's Screwy doing?"

"Sleeping like a baby in the suite."

"That's good to hear, considering she kept us up the first few months when we brought her home."

"True," he wrapped his arms around her, "but it's hard to stay mad at that face… You and she is all I got in this world…"

"Aw…" she kissed his cheek, and then he moved to face her as they kiss on the lips.

In the front of the room, Rainbow and Soarin' were putting up a blue and yellow sash above the altar.

"It needs to be a little higher on your side, babe." she pointed out.

"Got it, hon!" he flew higher.

"Now it's too high!" He moved back, "It's still not in place."

"Well, where should it go?"

"You really want to know?" she moved towards him with the sash and wrapped it around him, pulling him closer to her as their noses touch.

"Sneaky, yet very effective…" he arched his eyebrow while smiling. She returned the smile as they moved into a kiss.

Across the hallway was Pinkie and Cheese setting up at the buffet table and were putting the finishing touches to the wedding cake. They had the cake toppers looking like Rarity and Fancy Pants. The couple was about to put them on top until they started playing with them.

"Do you?" Cheese imitated Fancy.

"I do!" Pinkie imitated Rarity.

They had the figures kissing, and then they stared at each other and moved into a long passionate kiss with both of them lifting their hind legs up.

Apple Jack and Spike were in the kitchen finishing up the catering as needed.

"How do these taste?" she gave him a pate.

"AJ! You've already had me taste test everything else! I'm full!"

"Since when are you full? You're the one who's got an iron stomach!"

"Yeah, but with your cooking, I get full within half an hour!"

"Is that a joke or compliment?" she eyeballed him.

He waved frantically, "Compliment! Total compliment! I was just saying that with you around, I don't have to starve for food or for love…"

She blushed, "Aw, shucks… You don't have to go into that…"

"But I want to… I need you…" he moved her chin and pressed her lips to his. Her eyes slowly closed to the blissful kiss.

A cute giggle filled the air, interrupting them and they turned to see their daughter in the playpen watching them. They could only smile at her.

Twilight was going over the check list while waiting outside of her and Flash's guest room, and then he came out saying, "All tucked in. I just changed his diaper and he should be falling asleep right about now."

"Great, he'll be asleep for hours, just like his daddy."

"Oh, no, you don't. I've seen you take four-hour naps. I'm pretty sure he inherited the sleep gene from you."

"What about those times you fell asleep on duty?"

"Those were accidents. I didn't mean-" but she merely shushed him with her hoof.

"It's alright. When we were dating, I gave me a chance to plant a kiss on you now and then."

"Really? No wonder my cheeks felt wet every time I woke up."

"I hope you don't mind…"

"Mind? I could use another one right here." he pointed to his cheek.

She gave a sly smile and kissed the spot.

"How about here?" he motioned to his other cheek.

She kissed again.

"Or how about… here…" he pulled her into a kiss on the lips.

Rarity took a breath at the gorgeous sight before her. She was ready; now all she had to do is do the finishing touches on her dress, get married to Fancy, and they'll be husband and wife. Rarity couldn't wait, especially since she had to wait so long for this day. Plus, seeing all her friends marry before her, she never could admit to them, but she was jealous that they got married before her but was happy for them just the same. But it didn't matter anymore; she was going to have her wedding and nothing was going to ruin this moment.

Pinkie jumped in and pulled her into a tight hug, "Ready to have the time of your life?!"

"Why, yes, Pinkie. What did you have in mind for my bridal shower?"

"You tell us," said Twilight, "we'll do anything you want us to do."

"Really?"

"Of course, it's your wedding." said Fluttershy.

"Well, then… I choose… shopping!"

"Shopping?! That's-" Rainbow started until AJ nudged her, "Great!" she gave a fake smile.

"What are we waiting for, then? Lead the way!" Applejack gestured to Rarity.

"Wonderful!" she went and they followed, "We'll start with a trip to Marey's, then we'll move on to JCPony's…" She kept listing famous Canterlot stores.

The girls had a blast at the stores; even Rainbow was giving in! As they moved down the street carrying bags and laughing away, Rainbow flew up and saw Fancy Pants up ahead.

"Hey, I see your fiancée is about three feet from us!"

"He is?! Oh, good! Then I can ask him how he's doing with his tuxedo fittings and give him a kiss!" She put down her bags and rushed over, but stopped dead in her tracks when she saw who he was with. What's Fleur doing here? I thought Fancy and her were over with? She ducked behind a building and overheard the conversion they were having with Jet Set and Upper Crust.

"…And when do you plan to have the wedding?" Jet asked.

"Tomorrow afternoon." Fancy Pants answered.

What?! But our wedding isn't for another two days! Why would he- But she soon saw the answer becoming clear.

"My congratulations, darling." Upper Crust motioned to Fleur.

"I always thought you two were the better match." said Jet.

"Yes, we couldn't be more happier." said Fleur, taking hold of Fancy's hoof.

Rarity's eyes became blurry as they were filling with tears. She ran back to where her friends were.

"Rarity?!" They shouted out.

"What happened?!" Twilight voiced in concern.

But instead of embracing them, she went past them, sobbing.

"Oh, my goodness, what do you suppose…" Fluttershy said.

"Come on, all. We need to help our friend!" declared AJ, and with a nod, they rushed to their friend in need.

They were unaware of a familiar pony watching them with an evil smile.

Rarity laid on a sofa in one of the castle rooms, bawling and wailing away. Her hair was a complete mess as usual if she was upset about something. Fluttershy, Applejack, and Pinkie were next to her comforting her and feeling sorry for her once she told them what she saw and heard.

She shouted out, "Stallions are all brutes! Cads! Beasts!" She kept on sobbing.

The guys nearby had cringed faces. Rainbow went to them saying, "Maybe this would be a good time for all of you to leave…"

"You don't have to tell us twice…" Soarin' pointed and the guys slowly backed away from the heartbroken mare.

Twilight closed the door behind them, shaking her head, "It doesn't make any sense; why would Fancy Pants do that? He really was a sweet gentlecolt."

"Exactly! 'Was'!" Rainbow flew down to her, "I say we go to him and demand some answers!" she clomped her hooves together.

"No Rainbow Dash!" Rarity yelled, "I refuse to get my hooves dirty in this mess. If he doesn't have the guts to tell me himself, then I want nothing from him again!"

"Then why are you still wearing the engagement ring you picked out?" pointed Apple Jack.

"Precisely! I picked out! Therefore, it is mine to keep! And I'll need it as insurance care later on."

"Or that you still have feelings for him and refuse to believe that he would leave you." said Pinkie.

"But he did!" she resumed the water works.

Meanwhile, outside in their waiting room, Spike was pacing back and forth, fuming, "How could he do this to her?!"

Discord raised his eyebrow, "I thought you didn't love Rarity anymore."

"I don't! Why else would I be married to Apple Jack if I didn't love her instead! I still care for Rarity as a dear friend; I just don't like how she's been hurt this way!"

"There's got to be something we're missing here…" said Flash.

"I'll say," proclaimed Soarin', "From what we know about Fancy Pants' proposal to Rarity, by guy standards, that's practically begging for a yes to marry them."

"It shows how much he cares for her by appealing to what she likes…" confirmed Cheese.

Discord snapped his fingers to as a light bulb appeared above his head, "You are so right, Cheese! I would do anything for Fluttershy's happiness!"

"Me, too, for AJ!"

"I certainly show Twilight how much I care for her every chance I get."

"Rainbow loves it when I do stuff for her!"

"And Pinkie is easy to impress; I sure am lucky to have her for my wife."

Discord gestured, "There you go! Fancy Pants would feel lucky to have Rarity to call his own wife. Boys, I think you know what we have to do…"

"Get to the truth!" exclaimed Spike.

"Right-ho!" he snapped his fingers and all of them were wearing spy wear.

Discord had teleported them to the rooftops of Canterlot, where they found Fancy Pants strolling with Fleur. Discord had a satellite to pick up sound waves and an ear piece for all of them to hear.

"Wasn't today wonderful, Fancy?" Fleur said.

"It was, but I can't seem to put my hoof on it. It feels like something is missing, or… someone…" he pondered.

"I'm sure you're just thinking about the wedding. Something always goes missing before a wedding."

"I suppose you're right… I think… Well, I'm off to the derby. I shall see you tomorrow?"

"But of course. I wouldn't miss my own wedding."

He gave a simple nod and had gone.

"Hmm," Discord stated, "interesting. One would think that an engaged couple would kiss or hug before departing…"

"Not to mention there should be a delay of parting from each other, not wanting to go." pointed Cheese.

"Wow, you're right, dude." said Soarin'.

"I saw no signs of that, that's for sure." Discord held up a pair of binoculars, "And the way he said someone was missing leads to my suspicions of what happened between him and Rarity. Let us follow his so-called fiancée. I bet she'll have the answers we'll need…"

He teleported them again and saw Fleur sitting alone at the café. She sighed, and then some pony met up with her. Spike gasped, "Suri Polomare!"

"You know her?" Flash asked.

"We met her when Rarity was part of Fashion Week in Manehattan! She stole Rarity's fabric for her own personal design, forcing Rarity to make new creations!"

"I read about that in the journal. Her generosity was tested at that point."

"Now the bigger question is," gestured Flash, "what is she doing with Fleur-de-lis?"

"Let's find out…" Discord pointed the satellite towards them, hearing their voices loud and clear.

"Like, why so sad?" Suri asked in annoyance.

"He's not as loving towards me as he used to be… And he knows her presence is missing. I think he really loved her."

"Maybe, but she didn't love him. Trust me; you did the right thing when you did that forgetfulness spell on him."

"Forgetful-" Spike nearly shouted out when Soarin' pulled him in to quiet down.

"Remember; better you than that money-grabbing hussy."

"Ooh…" the boys breathed.

"Such a strong word from a pony, which can only mean revenge." said Discord.

"Has to be! Coco Pummel told us what Suri had done to ensure that she would win Fashion Week!" declared Spike, "But since Rarity had won…"

"Then she would have a villainous ploy to get back at her!" said Cheese.

Discord took the tape out of the recorder, "I say this is all the proof we need to show Rarity." With a flash, they teleported back to the castle.

Rarity kept on crying, and the girls at this point had to cover their ears. Rainbow yelled, "Rarity! You're going to flood the place!"

Just then, there was a knock and the guys walked in.

"Seize and desist with the water works, fair Rarity, we bring good news!" Discord held up the tape.

"Well, most of it is good news…" cringed Soarin'.

"What are you talking about?" Twilight asked.

"You'll see." The spirit of chaos summoned a recorder and popped the tape in.

Moments later, after hearing the whole tape, Rarity's face went red, "A hussy! How dare she! She made my fiancée forget about me! She went way too far!" She magically took off her ring and stared at it lovingly, "Oh, my darling. How I could I've thought such a thing about you… I should have never doubted our love… Now you are being held against your will…" she put the ring back on, and then with a determined look, she announced, "I have to save him!" Then, she turned to the boys and said with sincerity, "Thank you all so much… I was wrong; colts in general are sweet, wonderful, marvelous, the best!"

"Aw, stop. You're making me blush." Discord gave an arrogant look.

The others gave him looks.

"Ahem, right. So what's the plan now?"

Twilight turned, "Rarity, you know Fancy Pants best. What's-" but she only saw the unicorn wasn't there, "Rarity?"

They heard a whistle and turned back to see Rarity by the door wearing black attire. Her hair was all combed up and she wore red lipstick lines on her cheeks.

"I tell you what we're going to do: we're going to get my future husband back, that's what! Let's go!" she was about charge on out until Twilight grabbed onto her tail.

"Now, hold on, Rarity. Celestia has already set the sun and Luna's raised the moon. We can't do anything until tomorrow."

"But Fancy Pants… The wedding…"

"Won't be until the next afternoon, which gives us enough time to help him in the morning… For now, it's best we rested on this."

Easy for you to say, at least you'll be able to sleep tonight since you're already married to the love of your life… she sighed, "If you think that's best…"

"Want us to sleepover in your room?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yeah, because knowing you, you won't sleep a wink." said Applejack.

"Oh, girls… you would do that… for me?"

"Hey, if a jerk from my past tried to come between me and Soarin' before we were to get married, I wouldn't sleep either since I'd be more in the mood to do something about it." Rainbow flew above her.

"I know it's not fair, but by sleeping on this, we'd have a better plan to get to him and do something about Suri." said Twilight.

"Oh, you're absolutely right! Thank you so much, but I still worry…"

"We're with you all the way!" said Pinkie, giving her a hug and rest of the girls joined in while the guys stood there smiling.

Rarity looked down from the bed seeing her friends in sleeping bags. As was predicted, she wasn't going to get much sleep but admired that the girls tried so hard to cheer her up before they went to bed. They really are the most wonderful friends a mare can ask for… Then she recalled the time she was turned into Nightmare Rarity. She shuddered at the memory, but was grateful to her friends that they saved her before she was lost forever. Now it is my turn to save you, my love… With that thought in mind, she finally fell asleep.

After a quick breakfast to keep their energy up, they took to the streets of the city. Rarity looked up to the clock tower.

"Oh, we only have eight hours to find him and stop this wedding!"

"We'll have to split up," Twilight gestured, "Rarity, you and Pinkie, Cheese, Applejack, and Spike go find your fiancée. The rest of us will go look for Suri and demand a counter spell for that forgetfulness spell. Every pony got that?"

"Got it!" they said all at once and each group took their different routes.

Rainbow, Soarin', and Flash flew above them while Discord in his pony form with Fluttershy and Twilight were galloping along the streets looking around the crowds.

"So what happens when you do find Miss 'Revenge On Rarity'?" Dash called out to Twilight.

"Demand that she backs off and gives us the counter spell to restore Fancy Pants' memory of Rarity."

"Easier said than done, Princess." Discord scoffed, "As a reformed baddie, I know a thing or two when it comes to revenge plots. I'm sure you'll remember mine…"

"I'd rather not go there…" said Fluttershy.

"Believe me, sweetheart, I've regretted that day ever since. That's why I felt couldn't go through with our wedding because I was reminded of what I did to you in the first place…"

"Oh…" she kissed his cheek.

"Okay! You two can do your mushy stuff later! Right now, we need to find Miss 'Stealing Stuff That Doesn't Belong to You'!" Rainbow flapped faster.

"You know… Discord," said Twilight, "you might be the key to finding Suri sooner."

"How so, Twilight?" he questioned.

"You said so yourself. You know revenge plots. Think, what would be Suri's next step after completing her plan?"

"Hmm…" he went deep into thought, "I would be pleased that my plan had worked and would savor the moment… Like celebrating such as eating out or partying."

"Eating out, huh…?" Twilight rubbed her chin, "I think I know where she's at!"

"You do?!" they all said.

"This way!" she raced ahead.

Suri dunked another donut into her coffee; she looked at the nearby clock of the donut shop. She smirked knowing in four hours, the wedding would begin and Rarity would have lost all chance of a happily ever after.

"Another donut, Miss?" Donut Joe asked.

"Make that a dozen, because I'm going to be eating for the rest of the day!"

"If you say so, miss…" Joe gave an unsure look and gave her a plate of towering donuts.

She took a bite from the top one, not knowing of the ponies watching her from the shop window.

"There she is! Let's get her!" Rainbow was about to barge in until Soarin' held on to her by Twilight's urging.

"No! She'll know who you are and make a run for it!" gestured Twilight, "It would be better if our husbands did this instead…"

"We won't let you down," said Flash touching her hoof.

"Be careful…" Fluttershy whispered.

"Oh, honey, you know you never have to worry about my safety, since it is I who must worry for your well-being…" he kissed her forehead.

"I will not fail." Soarin' saluted.

"You better not…" Dash pulled him into a hug.

The boys gave their wives one last glance before going in.

Suri heard the bell rang and turned to see three stallions coming in. She thought nothing of it and turned back to her donuts, but then the colts sat next to her at the counter.

"Three hot cocoas." said the blue one.

"Coming up." answered Joe, filling three cups up with hot chocolate and then served it to them.

After taking a couple of sips, Flash made a wink and Soarin' did the same and said out loud for Suri to hear.

"So, you guys, any plans for tonight?"

"Nope."

"Not me."

"Me, neither, but hey, at least there's that huge wedding at the castle happening in two days, so we'll have something to do there."

Suri gave out a huge laugh, "Sorry to break it to you, but rumors have it that that wedding is cancelled. The groom left the bride before they could get married. It is quite sad, but, oh well, that's how it is."

"Really…" the unicorn colt motioned, "Perhaps the groom had no choice… like some pony put a forgetfulness spell on him to forget all about the mare of his dreams!"

"Hey… how did you…"

"You can't fool us, Suri. We know you're responsible for ruining Rarity's wedding!" shouted Soarin'.

"Who are you guys?!" she demanded.

"That's none of your concern. What we want is answers!" pointed Discord as he used his horn to make an interrogation room. A bright light shined on her while they wore trench coats and fedoras, "Now tell us the counter spell to the forgetfulness spell!"

"You'll get nothing out of me!"

"How about we make a deal…" motioned Flash, "You tell us the spell and we'll let you go free."

"Yeah, right. Who's to say you won't have some pony following me? Hm?"

"She has a point." Soarin' said without thinking and Discord had to nudge him.

"No one will follow you," said Flash, "This I promise."

She scoffed, "You can't promise that. And besides, you're wasting your time… I don't have the counter spell because it doesn't exist. The page I found the spell in doesn't have one. Face it, Rarity has lost. You can tell her that in the message."

"You're lying!" yelled Soarin'.

"Am I? You'll never know…" she smirked evilly again.

"Whoa, you're more evil than I have ever been!" Discord morphed back to his regular self which Suri gave an uneasy look, "You can come in, girls!"

Twilight came in with two royal guards, "Arrest her."

"Yes, Princess." both said and took Suri away.

"I'm sorry, Dash… We failed…" Soarin' gave a solemn glance.

Rainbow lifted his chin, "It's not your fault. Suri is just one tough nut to crack and I heard what she said about the spell. She could be easily lying or telling the truth…"

"Exactly," came Twilight, "The four of us will go back to the castle to try to keep getting information from her. You two need to go find Rarity and deliver the bad news."

The Wonderbolts nodded and flew out of there.

After an endless search all around the city, Rarity crouched in despair.

"Oh! I'll never find him! We looked on every where he can be!"

"Obviously, we haven't or else we would have found him by now!" declared AJ.

A spark hit Rarity and stood up, proclaiming, "Of course! That's where they could be!" she started running off with the others gave her confused looks and followed her.

At the edge of Canterlot, Fleur and Fancy boarded on to the yacht while the Canterlot elite waved them off as they were to marry on the ship. The yacht set off and Rarity saw below from the edge of the cliff to the ship departing.

"Oh, no!" shrieked Pinkie, "We're too late!"

"I'm so sorry, Rarity…" Apple Jack took off her hat in sorrow.

"Me, too…" Spike touched her shoulder.

"Us, too…" Pinkie and Cheese touched her other shoulder.

Rarity gave no expression and finally said, "No! It's not over yet! I haven't come this far to give up!"

"What are you-" AJ started until Rarity took a step back.

She announced, "I'm going to take a leap of faith!" she ran to the edge and jumped off!

They gasped and Applejack shouted, "That gal's crazy!" They ran to see where she was at and saw her on top of the blimp. Then, she slid down and grabbed for the ropes.

"Hold on, Rarity!" Spike shouted out.

"I'm trying to!" she shouted back, and then she heard below of the captain of the ship beginning the ceremony.

"Dearly beloved, we gather today to join this mare and stallion in marriage."

No! I must hurry! She found a loose rope next to her and slid down it.

"Do you, Fleur-de-lis, take Fancy Pants to be your husband?"

"I…" she looked at him with remorse, and then remembered Suri's words, "I do."

"And do you, Fancy Pants, take Fleur to be your wedded wife?"

He look at her with uncertainty, then he was about to said, "I d-"

"STOPPPP!" Rarity came swinging in and landed at Fancy's hooves, "Fancy Pants! Darling!"

"I'm sorry, do we…? Know each other?" he found himself staring at her as if he did know her from somewhere…

"Oh, darling, yes, yes, we do know each other, but you're under a spell! You've forgotten all about me, your true love!"

"True love?!" Fleur went to her face, "How dare you! After you were just using him and to get his money!"

"That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard!" Rarity retorted, "I would never do such a thing to Fancy or any other colt because I'd rather have the love of my life! Suri tricked you, Fleur! You must believe me!"

"How do I know you really love him? It's obvious he's fallen for you because he hasn't given me the same affection as before since the spell was cast."

"Wait, there is a spell on me?!"

"Yes, Fancy… I'm so sorry; I thought I was helping you to forget a mare that would bring you unhappiness because she was using you… Turns out I was that mare…"

"You were only thinking of Fancy… And… to be honest if I was in your position, I think I would've done the same so Fancy wouldn't have any troubles over a mare who didn't care about him…"

"You… You would?"

"Maybe not in the way you've done it… but, yes, something just like it."

"I was wrong… you really do love him and I stood in your way… I'm so sorry."

"Oh, you're not to blame here; Suri is. She took advantage of you just as when she took advantage of my generosity once."

"I've been a foal. I wish there is some way we can fix this."

"Don't you know the counter spell?"

"I don't. Suri only told me the spell but never mentioned of how to lift it."

She faced her fiance with a sad look, "Oh, darling… Just when I have finally found you… Only… to lose you again…" she released small tears.

"I wish I could remember you… Because you're what's missing in my life… What I felt for Fleur doesn't feel the same, but with you, everything feels right…"

"Really? Then perhaps we can start over again…"

"Sounds like a plan."

She smiled and bowed her head, "Hello, my name is Rarity."

"Rarity…" he took her hoof and kissed it, "I am Fancy Pants. So delighted to meet your acquaintance."

She blushed, and then suddenly, there was a tremble. She tripped forward, having her horn meet with his. As if a electrical charge ran though him, Fancy gained back his memories of when he first met her: when she bumped into him. Then, seeing her afterwards to attend events and shortly after his breakup with Fleur, he remembered her visiting again and officially asking her out. He recalled all their wonderful moments they shared up to his proposal.

"Oh, Fancy Pants, are you alright?" she asked him when he got out of his trance.

"I'm better than alright, my dear!" he pulled her into a kiss.

She was shocked and pulled away, "But you, you… You remember me?"

"How can I forget you? You're the most important thing that has ever happened to me…"

"Oh…" tears of joy welled in her eyes and they went into a deep kiss.

Everything was ready. The groom, wearing a dress cape to his tuxedo, was in place. His ushers were placed as well staring at their wives being the bridesmaids once more and quite possibly for the last time. Twilight was presiding once more since the bride wanted her to. When it was time, Fluttershy sounded off her choir to begin the march. Every pony turned their head to the entrance as Sweetie Belle jumped in being the flower girl. Then, with a bright shine, Rarity walked gracefully in with her diamond-encrusted gown and a full veil over her face.

Fancy gave her a smile as she returned it. When she reached the altar, they exchange glances before turning to the princess. Twilight cleared her throat, "Mares and gentlecolts of all ages, today we gather to celebrate a love that has been through trial after trial. First to be far away from each other when first meeting, but later found love within and have been separate from the distance of being together, but that didn't stop them. And just when they thought all was going well, a threat came between them, but it just proved that their love was stronger… May I have the rings, please?" she turned to the ring bearer named Button Mash, who gave her the rings from his back.

Twilight magically put rings on each of the unicorns' horns, "I now pronounce you Mare and Colt…"

Every pony stomped in applause as the bride and groom sealed their marriage with a kiss… The garden lamps were glowing as they had their first dance. Couples around them were dancing, too. By then, Pinkie and Cheese were speeding up the music and the party livened up. The three babies were nearby in a playpen near the wedding cake, fascinated by the tall pastry. Screw Ball used her magic to get a piece, but Discord saw this and tried to take the cake away from her. However, her magical surge was too strong and it was a tug of war until the cake flew up into the air.

Fancy saw the cake coming towards Rarity and pushed her out of the way so he would get splattered himself.

"Fancy! You… You took a cake for me…?"

"But of course, my dear. I couldn't let that beautiful dress you made get ruined."

"That's so sweet… but…" she wiped the bits of the cake left and threw it on to Rainbow Dash.

"Hey! Who threw that?!"

"Guilty as charged!" Rarity called out.

"Oh, you are so going to get it, Rare!" she grabbed for another piece of cake and threw it, but Rarity dodged in time and it landed on Twilight instead.

Pretty soon, a chain reaction started as couples threw cake at their friends and lovers… When leaving for the honeymoon, Rarity and Fancy went into an open carriage and she quickly threw the bouquet. By luck, Derpy managed to catch it. The friends waved them off as Rarity and Fancy went into another kiss. The couples turned to their own lovers then and kissed them.

Dignity stood there gapping.

"Now, sweetheart, you know it's rude to stand there and gawk." his mother pointed out.

He quickly closed his mouth, "Sorry, Mother, but that was… truly amazing…"

"It certainly was…" his father agreed while putting his hoof around his wife.

"I'm so glad you didn't give up, Mom." he went to hug her.

"So am I, sweetie… so am I…" she hugged him back and Fancy joined in. It was one of the most beautiful family moments you would ever see.

AN: And that is six! Whoa! This has got to be my longest one-shot yet! This would have been better off as a multi-chapter story, but what other plot could be done for Rarity? I just wanted to show her at her best when fighting for true love. Poor Rarity; I hated to submit her to another disappointment in her life when she has had so many, but this was worth it. So that's it: the Wedding Chronicles is officially over. Now I just have to say the same for my other fanfics, but I can't do that until I get a break from school since that's restarting in about a week for me. For those reading my other stuff, it cannot be rushed. We all have a life to worry about besides finishing these fanfictions. I personally do them for fun and for practice to when I hopefully become an author. So, please, try not to use the peer pressure method. I'm not saying you are, but it feels that way. My mind is like a door: sometimes it opens with ideas to write about and sometimes it just stays shut, leaving me with nothing to write about. Okay, glad to get that off my chest, but I will try to post a few more chapters before I go back to school and focus on, yuck, homework… Although, it's actually the exams you've got to worry about. Anyway, please go back to the last chapter and read my last author's note asking for your opinion on a sequel to this fanfiction or a sequel to A Midsummer Night's Dream: Pony-Style. I'm thinking of doing a pony version of "Romeo and Juliet"'; do you agree? Alrighty, then, just leave your comments in the review box and I'll take it from here. Bye and thanks for reading!
