A real Canterlot wedding

A Canterlot wedding, take II

The wedding was pushed back a few weeks, so everything could be brought back to normal, almost.

Chrysalis added a last request to the others, she wanted to tell everypony about her true form, despite the fact her Kingdom might would refuse her.

Surprisingly enough most pony's didn't mind, since they had been told, what she was willing to sacrifice and given the time before this - the years she had ruled with wisdom and kindness, why should they refuse her now?

She might looked different on the outside, but she sure was the best Queen there is on the throne, from the inside.

And so once more the day came, when the wedding was about to take place. Everypony had gathered and Celestia lead the ceremony, Shining Armor was standing next to her, while the mane six stood close by, to be the bride maids, while Spike would hold the rings.

Shining Armor wore a new version of his red Gala-Uniform, as well his uncle's emblem, which she had told him about, but also that it didn't matter anymore, since he had made this day possible to begin with.

Then the bride stepped in, wearing a changed bride-dress on which Rarity had insisted.

It was a long gown, made out of three types of green, which overlapped one another.

The first layer was a swamp green, being the longest part of the dress,

the second layer was a grass green, being a little shorter, to reveal the layer beneath,

the last layer was a dark green, closing the main dress, also revealing the other two.

All layers ended in split ends and had carefully placed holes in them.

Additional she had a wide royal collar around the neck as well a brooch on the middle of her chest and her mane was formed to an elegant bun with some lose ends hanging sassy down on her sides.

This dress perfectly emphasizes her nature, as well royalty in any aspect, bringing out her natural beauty, providing a gorgeous contrast to her skin, while matching the colors of her eyes.

Twilight could not else to compliment Rarity on this one “You outdone your self this time” she whispered.

“I know darling, I know...” the unicorn replied proud.

The beautiful changeling stepped gracefully to the altar and got welcomed by her special somepony as the Ceremony began. Celestia spoke her part, until she came to her last line “... and if anypony has something to say against this union, so speak now or remain silent forever.”

All heads now turned two Twilight, which hastily shook her head, making many of them giggle.

Now the valves followed, traditional Shining Armor had to be the one to start.

“I want to stay guard on your side, whenever you need me,

because I witnessed your change, to something more beautiful than the eye could see,

for I shall be your shield, till the day my duty ends.”

Chrysalis originally had planned something similar, but given the circumstances, she had put up a new one, to honor everything he had done for her.

“I might have fooled them all – but I won't ever change for you.

I may cant partake on the cake – but your love is all I need.

And in my heart there is no room – since you filled the void within.

You are mine, all mine...”

“...and so i'm yours.” they closed together.

Than I declare you now, to mare and colt! Celestia declared as they traded rings and kissed.

Needless to say many of the guests broke out in tears and cheering as Celestia gave Rainbow Dash a hint, which immediately flew of out of the window to perform an amazing Sonic Rainbow, followed up by a Rainbow she spanned over all of Canterlot.

It was later, when the celebration took place and everypony was dancing and cheering, while playing games, eating cake and drinking cider, while talking to a bunch of new pony's, when Princess Luna landed next to the mane six and her sister Celestia.

“Luna, where have you been?” Celestia asked away.

“Oh, me?” Luna asked innocent since she hasn't been seen, after her return from the hive “Playing games...” she waved off, to walk over to the table and steal some of the cake.

Since Luna had been reformed, Celestia hadn't had a single nightmare about her anymore. In fact, she only had good ones ever since, resting peacefully with a smile on her lips, so there wasn't even a reason for Luna to step by in her dreams. The only exception to this rule was, when one of them had to travel for a while, so it was a great way to see one another, have conversations and making them able to catch up, some of their lost time with one another - while getting some needed rest.

Sadly, not everypony could have such a soothing sleep. So every night, thousands dreaming pony's or other creatures could find them self in some kind of nightmare.

Be it to fail a class, lose a loved one, or simply having some kind of shameful misfortune happen to them, the spectrum was quite wide, to say the least... and despite her great ability's and nightly duty, Luna could only manage a small percentage of those... until recently.

Now she even found time to create her self some good dreams, without having to worry, to see other creatures having nightmares anymore, ever again.

Whenever a mean pirate would swing his sword, an angry teacher started to yell, or a giant monster with long sharp teeth jumped out a cabinet... her changeling swarm would spread out into this dream and soak up the evil spirit, as well some thankful emotions from the dreamer right after, just to fly off and repeat this act on countless other dreams night by night.

At first some found it a quite disturbing after they woke up... but soon everypony loved the little bugs and at times dreamed about them. So it was not uncommon to hear a filly or colt telling story's, about “playing with a bunch of changelings” in their dreams.

It took a while for the changelings to get used to their new role, but when they did, it got even better. Not just they acted more organized and managed to banish all bad dreams...

they also began to take place for the “dream copies” of them self, playing with the happy dreamer a little bit till he woke up.

It was like they where always meant for this, since their natural talent to sense emotions and memory's, as well the ability to change form, made them perfect to slip into roles of other beloved creatures or things, to spread some joy where ever they came - making sweet dreams even sweeter...

The changelings couldn't be any happier and more thankful, towards her Queen, Luna.

The celebration was over and Shining Armor gave a last goodbye toward twilight,

when Chrysalis threw her bridal bouquet, which was made out of rare swamp flowers which was glowing like beautiful green firefly's.

Rarity pushed aside the other mares which tried to catch it, but missed it by a few centimeters as it landed behind her, in the hooves of Maud Pie, which got an ashamed glance from the leader of the diamond dogs on her side.

The Happy End.
