Inspiration from Kinderquestria thread Anon: >Anon tries to introduce the concept of divorce for his own accidental horsemarriage >ponies being ponies misinterpret it and just use as an excuse to marry their spouses again, because the first time was so great, they could go for an encore Short Green- >Out of curiosity one day, you asked Twilight what the divorce rate was >She didn’t know what a divorce was >Nopony did >So you tried to explain it as when two ponies didn’t want to be married anymore >Twilight asked why you would want to do that >You said it was because people stopped loving each other >She just gave you a blank look and you walked away two minutes later as she processed the information >A few days later you got an invitation >To a divorce >Twilight asked the Cakes to get divorced for research purposes >The divorce was basically just a reverse wedding ceremony >First there was the reception >Pinkie was honored to be the first divorce planner in Equestria and the party was her usual fare of balloons, cake, and dancing >After that, everypony lined up to take photos with the soon to be divorced couple >Half the town was invited so you waited at least 40 minutes before you got a chance to take a photo >You kneeled for it so that your face would actually be in the shot >Next up on the schedule was a walk to the library >Twilight dressed up in some black robes and proceeded to use technical jargon to state that the Cake marriage was to be null and void >You’re pretty sure no one attending knew why she was talking about at all >After the “I don’ts”, Twilight officially pronounced them as Mare and Stallion >Everypony cheered >You just went along with it and congratulated the newly separated couple >They seemed about as happy as they normally are >Twilight went up to you >“Looks like the divorce was a success!” “Twi, you just separated a happily married couple” >”Well yeah, you told me that was the whole point of divorces” “The whole point is that they’re suppose to leave each other” >”How long is the field trip they take from one another? Because the Cakes are suppose to get married again soon” “Wait, how soon?” >You turned your attention back to the Cake family and you see the two of them stare into each other’s eyes and say those three magical words to one another >”I love you” >The cheers of the crowd grew even wilder as everypony congratulated them on their marriage >You turn your attention back to Twilight “It’s that easy to get married here?” >”If two ponies love each other, why would getting married be hard?” >The crowd went back to the reception area >There was more cake, more music, and more dancing >Rainbow Dash caught the thrown bridal bouquet >And then promptly ate it >You turned in for the night, with some thoughts that maybe Fluttershy’s repeated declarations of “I love you” weren’t so innocent after all >A few weeks later and your mailbox was getting filled with even increasing amount of divorce invites >Divorce-mania was sweeping the town and word was getting out into the wider nation >Married ponies everywhere were getting divorced so that they could be married again and throw wedding parties >Pinkie became the premier divorce planner >Rarity’s business was booming as so many orders for divorce and wedding dresses were coming in >Even the Apple Family was cutting a cut of the profits by creating a tradition of eating Apple pie for the divorce reception and eating cake for the wedding party right after >As you leaf through your mail, you think about all of these obligations to attend to >Filthy Rich, Big Mac, Cherry Fizzy, and Starry Eyes were just some of the ponies getting separated in the next three weeks >Twilight asked you to be her divorce date to her brother’s own separation next month >Oh, and the Cakes were going through their fourth divorce as well >You don’t even like weddings
