MLP FIM Fan-Fiction: Starting from Scratch

Chapter 22

Aaron and Twilight showed up to a coronation to recognize him as the first Prince of Equestria; many unfamiliar but high ranking ponies came to meet Aaron, as well as some recently acquired fan ponies who had painted the design of his recently aquired Cutie Mark on them. Needless to say, the event wore Aaron out and he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

The following day was easier on him as Twilight, the Mane Five, Spike, Starlight, Sunburst, Celestia, Luna, Trixie, the CMC, Discord, Cadence, and Shining Armor met with him. Many congratulations were given to him, along with a few kind messages from Diamond Tiara, Mr. Rich, Thorax, and Zecora. Of course, Aaron and Twilight's relationship was discovered, leading to many teasing remarks and misunderstandings.

It would also be another year before Aaron and Twilight made their love official by Twilight asking Aaron to marry her, which Aaron was ecstatic to agree to. That said, Starlight and Sunburst along with Discord and Fluttershy were already engaged by then, and were wanting to have all three marriage ceremonies on the same day. This made Aaron faint when he heard it. He did agree anyways, and preparations began.

Rarity had her work cut out for her as she needed to design seven outfits: one each for Discord, Fluttershy, Starlight, Sunburst, and Twilight, and two for Aaron for both of his forms. Taking care of Starlight and Sunburst was the easiest, followed by a quick solution for Discord and Fluttershy, but finding the right colors to make the formal wear for Aaron and Twilight proved to be quite difficult.

"Blues and oranges or greens and reds, saturation levels: I can't figure this out!" Rarity shouted in distress just as Aaron teleported into the room in his pony form, flat on his belly, "Good gracious, Aaron, what happened!?"

He muttered something about stress, self teaching, and the teleportation spell. Once he regained his awareness, he stood up, "Whoo! I think I overcharged it that time... and overshot my destination."

"Regardless of your reason, you came at the worst time; I can't figure out the color palette for your tuxes and Twilight's dress," she moaned softly.

Aaron analyzed her current notes and color swatches, "Call it a personal opinion, Rarity, but I think that a vibrant dark blue and a pale light orange for the primary colors would be a good option." He took some colored pencils and markers to make colored annotations. "It would also be a decent idea for pale green here, and a vibrant bright red flower here," he marked before storing the utensils away, "That's just my opinion though; you're the designer, Rarity. Just take some time to unwind your mind, and the answer will come."

His input was often given when he encountered a problem with the weddings' preparations were involved. That said, his contact with Celestia and Luna became more complicated due to him being around the same societal position as them. Whenever he was out of town in his pony form, he was often chased around by fans obsessed with him which often led to needing the police to help calm the disturbance.

As a result, he spent most of his time in his workshop creating new magical creations, giving him the nickname 'The Artificer'. Among the things he created was a new set of focus rings for his human form, allowing him to wield his magic in his natural state. He also took the inspiration of the interlocking horn he had to the next level and create a means of restoring ponies to be functional in society. His first test on infusing an access port was on a unicorn volunteer that went by Tempest.

The surgery was a smashing success, and after a few check ins with Tempest and a few other volunteers, the technology, dubbed the Biological Access Ports, was deemed a ground-breaking success. Mr. Rich was very ecstatic to partner with Aaron to not only bring his own work opportunities farther, but to also help Aaron bring his opportunities to help others farther into Equestria and beyond.
