The Midnight Dance 1/10

Family

The palace of Marendelle was looking more beautiful than ever given the many flower and wedding decorations that were hanging around, as such the wedding of a future queen and her prince was a grand event and everyone was excited for it, but none was more excited than the parents and grandparents of the bride and groom, Button Mash, his queen, and his parents were in the throne room along with their old friends, Featherweight, Babs, and Featherweight's parents, Punch and Scarlet Plume, Sweetie Belle and Babs hugged each other as the queen exclaimed 

Sweetie Belle: Oh, Babs can you believe it's finally happening, my daughter, your son 

Babs Seed nodded with a smile: My parents were just as happy and Hoity Toity was even more thrilled then the rest of us when Quill had announced his engagement to Snowy 

Scarlet Plume: And to think they wouldn't have gotten to this moment had that storm not brought us here in the first place 

Cinnamon Swirl nodded: It's true, then I never would have married the love of my life in order for us to have a son who in turn wouldn't have found true love without a contest happening 

Scarlet mentioned while putting a hoof around her husband 

Scarlet Plume: The same could be said for our son, then both their kids meet and now we have to attend their wedding 

Meanwhile, said bride and groom were attending parties hosted by their friends and family in separate locations within the island's village, Snow Pea was at her bridal shower with her sister, Apple Blossom, Sunshine, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Quill's sisters, while Quill was having a bachelor party with Lightning Spark, Fire Spark, Zealot, Rock Salt, Taps, and Rumble, at the bridal shower Snowy had finished opening her presents 

Snow Gem: Oh, these are all so wonderful, thank you so much 

Scootaloo: Anything for our sweet niece that's about to get married 

Apple Bloom: For sure 

Beauty: Only four days before the wedding, I can't wait 

Sunshine: You can't wait, Snow Gem's the one getting married, and I'm sure she wants to prolong it as long as she can 

Apple Blossom: Why do you say that 

Scootaloo: I like to know the answer that to myself 

She threw a concern look at her daughter 

Sunshine: It's just, you lose your freedom for being single, you end up being chained up to one pony forever 

Snow Gem: I am not going to chain myself to Quill, we are going to be equal partners in marriage and ruling the kingdom 

Scootaloo moved Sunshine to the side 

Scootaloo: Let's talk 

Once they were out of earshot, Scootaloo started 

Scootaloo: Sweetheart if this is about you losing your previous loves 

Sunshine: It isn't just that, I remember those fights you had with Dad when Fire, Lightning, Fire and I were little about how lucky he was to see all of Equestria when he was young and how you never had a chance to do that. You regretted marrying at a young age 

Scootaloo sighed: I don't regret marrying your father, I just wish we married later, there was so much I could have done while I was still single but we had to think of you and your brother, your Aunt Sweetie Belle also needed me during her first years of marriage to your Uncle Button, so you see, life will take you by surprise and you never know where you'll go, I finally accepted that after all these years, I'm worried though that I somehow made you think marriage was a bad thing and that you refuse to settle down because of that
