  1. 1.
    Another one-shot with a twist.
  2. 2.
     
  3. 3.
    ___
  4. 4.
     
  5. 5.
    >You wake to the sound of Twilight shouting and banging on your door.
  6. 6.
    >"Anon! Come on, what are you doing, you're gonna be late!"
  7. 7.
    >You groan loudly then mumble.
  8. 8.
    "Late f'what?"
  9. 9.
    >With a bright flash, Twilight suddenly appears next to your bed.
  10. 10.
    >Her face first shows worry, then surprise, then horror.
  11. 11.
    >"Oh my gosh, Anon! What are you doing!? Get up get up GET UP!"
  12. 12.
    >Confused and a little scared now, you scramble out of bed.
  13. 13.
    >Twilight's magic throws clothes on you like a magician's quick change performance, then throws your curtains wide open.
  14. 14.
    >Squinting in the abruptly sunny room, you find yourself wearing black slacks, a yellow dress shirt, a pink bow tie, and a black dress jacket before you can even ask what's going on.
  15. 15.
    >So now you do.
  16. 16.
    "Twilight, what the fuck is going on?"
  17. 17.
    >She turns and stares at you, mouth hung open in shock.
  18. 18.
    >"Are you kidding me? Are you still drunk from your party last night? Whatever, no time, you're late. Come ON!"
  19. 19.
    >Her magic lifts you and throws black socks and shiny black dress shoes on your feet.
  20. 20.
    >With some funky magic, she throws some cold water in your face but somehow doesn't get any of your clothes wet.
  21. 21.
    "What the? Twi--" you splutter.
  22. 22.
    >"You have to wake up, quick. Can't show up looking in a daze!"
  23. 23.
    >A floating stream of coffee suddenly flies down your throat.
  24. 24.
    >You try to gag at the unusual and deeply unpleasant feeling, but your whole esophagus is held open with magic... which is also an unusual and deeply unpleasant feeling.
  25. 25.
    >Then, with a blinding flash and a disorienting twist of your, well, everything, your room vanishes.
  26. 26.
     
  27. 27.
    >You stand behind a wall in the middle of Ponyville, the gentle clamor of conversation audible from the other side.
  28. 28.
    >Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity stand in front of you, wearing regal gowns that match your suit.
  29. 29.
    >Twilight is angrily whispering to the others, "He was still asleep! I think he's hungover or maybe even still drunk from last night."
  30. 30.
    >Dash grins, "Yeah, it got pretty crazy, didn't it? Jeez man, how much did you drink, anyways? I lost count myself."
  31. 31.
    >Rarity's horn glows and you feel your clothes rustle lightly.
  32. 32.
    >"At least his suit looks reasonably presentable. Twilight, how long has he been awake?"
  33. 33.
    >"Ha! Like five minutes. I dressed him with magic, woke him rudely, and shoved some coffee down his throat."
  34. 34.
    "Having liquid floated down my throat feels weird as hell, by the way."
  35. 35.
    >Rarity giggles and murmurs, "I think it can feel nice sometimes."
  36. 36.
    >Whoa there, Rarity.
  37. 37.
    >Dash steps in front of you.
  38. 38.
    >"Okay Anon, give me some movement. I wanna make sure you're wide awake for this! Come on, jog in place or something."
  39. 39.
    "That damn teleportation woke me up plenty, Dash."
  40. 40.
    >Dash scowls, "You don't have a choice here Anon. Get moving or you're gonna get hurting."
  41. 41.
    >You reluctantly do a slow march.
  42. 42.
    >Dash zooms up until her face is only an inch from yours, speaking in a quiet, intense voice.
  43. 43.
    >"Anonymous, if you don't pick up your bucking feet like right now, by Celestia I will fly you to the nearest thundercloud, drop you through it, and make sure it shocks you on the way down!"
  44. 44.
    >She smacks your forehead with a hoof, "Move!"
  45. 45.
    >Groaning, you pick up the pace, hopping awkwardly from foot to foot.
  46. 46.
    >Your legs don't seem to want to obey you and move around stiffly.
  47. 47.
    >After a short moment, Dash smirks and says, "Alright, good enough. Need your blood flowing but can't have you getting sweaty in your suit."
  48. 48.
    >Rarity rolls her eyes, tilts her glowing horn, and rustles some of your clothes and hair back into place.
  49. 49.
    >"Really darling, I don't know what you were thinking, sleeping in on today of all days."
  50. 50.
    >Meanwhile, Twilight had been trotting around, talking to ponies that step around the wall, making adjustments to various things with her magic, and generally just doing a whole lot of bullshit that you've no idea what it means.
  51. 51.
    >Then you hear a clear bell ring and the clamor on the other side of the wall silences almost immediately.
  52. 52.
    >Twilight turns to you, "That's you're cue! Remember, just smile, stand still, and repeat after the Princess."
  53. 53.
    >...Princess?
  54. 54.
    >Another blinding flash and deep sense of disorientation and suddenly you're standing on a small white stage.
  55. 55.
    >You're standing under a wooden arch lined with pink and yellow flowers, a bit off to the side of center.
  56. 56.
    >Princess Celestia herself, in all her regal glory, stands near you in the middle of the arch and smiles warmly.
  57. 57.
    >Twilight, Spike, and Rainbow Dash are standing behind you.
  58. 58.
    >Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack stand across the stage in front of you.
  59. 59.
    >A dozen or two ponies are spread out in two organized squares in front of the stage.
  60. 60.
    >At the end stands Fluttershy in a masterwork dress that matches her coat and mane perfectly.
  61. 61.
    >Next to her is a pale green pony with a pink mane and tiny pink mustache.
  62. 62.
    >Music starts playing from somewhere and they both slowly walk toward you between the two groups of onlookers.
  63. 63.
    >Your brains still feels dull but realization slowly dawns on you.
  64. 64.
    >This is a fucking wedding!
  65. 65.
    >You try to shout but only gasp gently.
  66. 66.
    >You try to turn and run, but only take one small step backwards.
  67. 67.
    >To the audience, it would seem as if you are simply stunned by the beauty of your wife-to-be.
  68. 68.
    >Frozen in terror, awkwardness, or something more sinister, you can only gape at the approaching duo.
  69. 69.
    >They pause at the beginning of the stage.
  70. 70.
    >The green pony turns to Fluttershy, then to you, nods, and gently nudges Fluttershy up the steps to the stage.
  71. 71.
    >He then moves to a place in front of the audience next to a yellow pony with dark pink hair.
  72. 72.
    >You think to yourself, 'Those must be her parents...'
  73. 73.
    >Your head is feeling very foggy... you must be even more sleepy than you thought.
  74. 74.
    >Fluttershy steps up next to you and smiles shyly, then turns to the Princess. You do the same.
  75. 75.
    >Wait a second, is your vision going dark?
  76. 76.
    >Celestia speaks, "Fillies and Gentlecolts! We are gathered here to day to witness the union of Fluttershy and Anonymous!"
  77. 77.
    >The cheers of the crowd fade as your vision dims to black.
  78. 78.
     
  79. 79.
    >When you come to, you're stumbling through Fluttershy's door as you lean heavily on her shoulder.
  80. 80.
    >"Oh, Anon! Are you okay now? You seemed to get a little woozy there!"
  81. 81.
    "I'm... fine."
  82. 82.
    >Wait, no you're not.
  83. 83.
    >What the hell are you doing here?
  84. 84.
    >You're still in your suit, she's still in her dress, and you're just calmly walking through her front door.
  85. 85.
    >You freeze in place, just inside her house.
  86. 86.
    >"...Anon? Is something wrong?"
  87. 87.
    "Fluttershy... what just happened?"
  88. 88.
    >Her ears droop, "You mean... you don't remember?"
  89. 89.
    "I... no, I guess the... the wooziness was a sign of something more. I can't seem to remember anything since this evening. There was a stage... Princess Celestia... What's going on?"
  90. 90.
    >She steps closer to you.
  91. 91.
    >"Anon... that was our wedding."
  92. 92.
    "Our... Huh?"
  93. 93.
    >She rears up and nuzzles your cheek.
  94. 94.
    >"We just got married, Anon. You came back here so we can consummate the wedding."
  95. 95.
    >Consummate...
  96. 96.
    >Your eyes go wide.
  97. 97.
    >No.
  98. 98.
    "What."
  99. 99.
    >Holy shit.
  100. 100.
    "Fluttershy, what the fuck"
  101. 101.
    >Is this really happening?
  102. 102.
    "I can't... Fluttershy, what?"
  103. 103.
    >Fluttershy coolly leads you to a nearby chair.
  104. 104.
    >"Don't worry, my love! I promise everything will be okay now that we're married I'll support you as long as I can, 'till death do us part. We're together forever!"
  105. 105.
    >Together forever.
  106. 106.
    >Married to Fluttershy.
  107. 107.
    >She finally trapped you.
  108. 108.
    >You don't know how she did it, but there it is.
  109. 109.
    >Fluttershy closes all the curtains and darkness envelopes you.
  110. 110.
    >Feeling numb, you don't even resist as Fluttershy fumbles with your pants.
  111. 111.
    >In the dim light, you see her shape climb on top of you.
  112. 112.
    >You scream.
  113. 113.
     
  114. 114.
    >Still screaming, you bolt upright in your bed.
  115. 115.
    >Your bed, in your house... no yellow pony in sight.
  116. 116.
    >Though there is a large, multicolored... snake thing is in your room.
  117. 117.
    >You scream again.
  118. 118.
    "WHAT THE FUCK."
  119. 119.
    >"Ooh, Anon, that's was just beautiful! A truly genuine scream of horror and despair."
  120. 120.
    >He claps his paws together and somehow makes the sound of a large audience applauding.
  121. 121.
    >Wait, not his paws...
  122. 122.
    >One paw and one talon.
  123. 123.
    >You squint at him in the morning light filtering through your curtain.
  124. 124.
    >Grey head, brown body, an odd squiggly blue horn...
  125. 125.
    >"Oh, enough of the narration, the readers all know who I am... and really, 'snake thing?' My name is Discord, you've never met me, and I just gave you the most awful dream."
  126. 126.
    >You gawk at him, thoroughly confused.
  127. 127.
    >Discord tsks, "Gawk is such a silly word... and how are you even supposed to pronounce 'tsk' anyway?"
  128. 128.
    "...What?"
  129. 129.
    >"Quiet, I wasn't talking to you."
  130. 130.
    "But... no one else is here?"
  131. 131.
    >Discord laughs maniacally and floats up into the air.
  132. 132.
    >"Alright, I'll just go ahead and wrap this up since Maonyman is getting tired of writing this story."
  133. 133.
    >He snaps his fingers, your curtains fall to the ground, daylight streams in, and he vanishes in a puff of pink smoke.
  134. 134.
    >The smoke spells out two words:
  135. 135.
