I'll never understand the ponies in this town.

Everywhere I went, they were all gussied up

and looking at me funny.

Kept asking if I was nervous.

Did they forget the wedding is tomorrow?

Ah, maybe they're just as excited

for us to be married as I am.

Aw! [giggle]

Well, they're going to feel awfully silly

when they realize they've got the wrong date.

THE INVITATIONS ARE WRONG!

THIS SAYS THE WEDDING IS TODAY!

But I got such a good deal on them.

Everypony in town got these!

The princesses have even RSVP'd!

I told you we should have eloped!

The caterer, the flowers, the musicians!

We've got to move it all to today!

What?

Where's my wedding planner?

You told me you could do it for half what the others charge!

And then you sent invitations

to everypony in town with the wrong date!

Muffin?

I really messed up on those invitations.

I feel just awful, Doc.

Hmph. Perhaps that explains why I never got mine.

I told Cranky I could get 'em printed for cheap,

but that meant hiring somepony with no experience

using a printing press.

[crash]

[splash]

Oh, I wish there was a way I could go back in time

and fix all this.

Going back in time is old thinking, my friend.

I was working off a cutting edge theory

of making time come forward to you!

My life's work, decades, hm, centuries really,

of research and experimentation.

And I nearly had it cracked.

Turns out there's a magic spell for it. Who knew?

[zapping]

But there are so many things that magic can't explain!

Where science and mathematics are the real magic!

Like these?

They're pretty!

Ah, yes. My flameless fireworks.

I never could quite figure out how to get them to ignite.

How did you learn to make all this stuff, anyway?

I've been studying science my whole life!

Ever since a particularly traumatic experience as a foal,

I've been looking for ways to make sense

of the world around me.

Science provides explanations of things

we never thought possible!

Now. Why did we come here again?

Yeah, oh!

Because I accidentally sent out invitations

for Cranky and Matilda's wedding

with today's date instead of tomorrow's.

Great whickering stallions, I completely forgot!

And I still need to get my suit tailored!

♪

Rarity? Rarity!

[banging on door]

[grunts]

♪ [faint headphone music]

Please, you've got to help me!

I lost track of time, unbelievably,

and forgot that the wedding is this afternoon!

♪ [loud headphone music]

She's got to alter the sleeves of my suit

and she's got to do it now!

Oh, ha ha! Thank goodness!

Lead on, my friend!

[crashing pins]

Why have you brought me here?

Rarity would never set hoof in...

Great whickering stallions, they've got style!

I'm facing certain calamity and I couldn't help noticing

your remarkable fashion sense!

Could I get the name of your incredible tailor?

Well, yeah man, his name is me.

Me. What an unfortunate name.

No, man, like, I manufacture all my own garments.

We all do, man.

Then you've got to help me! I need this suit tailored!

Ha ha ha. Sorry, man, we're just about to start the finals.

What's this word you keep using... "man"?

I don't know, man, but guess what?

Our fourth didn't show.

So if you roll with us, we'll alter your suit for ya.

I'm sorry, gentlecolts, but I will not bowl.

The splits! The spares! There are simply too many variables!

Variables? What are you talkin' about, man?

Just throw the ball straight.

Hold on. Straight?

Very well. I'll try your "straight" technique.

It just might be crazy enough to work.

Do we know what they're on about?

The way they're huddled up like that?

I'd say it's either a friendship problem or a monster attack.

A monster attack? Blast!

I'm performing at the ceremony this afternoon

and I still haven't sorted out what to play.

How am I meant to practice with a monster invading Ponyville?

Maybe it's just a friendship problem

and it'll all be cleared up in a half an hour or so.

Ugh. I hope so.

Where's Pinkie Pie? I need my wedding planner!

[growl]

[loud growl]

[scream]

[growls]

Oh no! On my wedding day?

SOMEPONY'S GOT TO HELP ME!

You!

I need to move an entire wedding from tomorrow to today!

But nopony's asked me to organize anything

since Twilight came to town!

So you'll do it?

I used to be the best organizer in all of Ponyville.

You bet I'll--

[growl]

[yell]

[crash]

Come on, we'd better get to the salon

before that monster flattens it!

[roar]

[roar]

What am I gonna do?

[gasp]

I feel so bad about the invitations!

Is there anything I can do?

FLOWERS!

You want Matilda's arrangements today?

This is awful!

The horror! The horror!

So there's no way you can do it?

We don't even have Matilda's flowers in yet,

much less arranged.

Oh. This is a disaster!

OK, thanks anyway.

Look, girls!

A broken stem on one of the zinnias!

WHAT?

Oh the horror!

The horror!

I have to admit, when Matilda said we needed this place

ready by today, I was a little nervous.

With you by my side, I knew we'd get it done in time.

There is nothing like a best friend, is there?

Anything's possible when you know somepony

as well as we know each other.

[distant growl]

There's some monster attacking Ponyville or something.

What is it this time, a creature from the Ever-Free Forest?

Uh, I think it's some sort of Bugbear.

[giggle]

Did you say Bugbear?

He found me.

What are you talking about, Bon Bon?

My name isn't Bon Bon; it's Special Agent Sweetie Drops.

I work for a super-secret anti-monster agency

Or at least I did until the Bugbear went missing

from Tartarus a few years back.

What are you talking about?

When it escaped, we had to shutter the whole agency.

Every last shred of evidence

of the organization's existence was destroyed.

Celestia demanded complete deniability.

It was me who captured the Bugbear.

I had to go deep cover here in Ponyville

and assume the name Bon Bon.

I never thought it'd be able to track me.

But now it has.

Are you saying our whole friendship was based on a lie?

I'm sorry, Lyra, I couldn't tell you for your own protection.

But, but the lunches, the, the long talks,

the benches we've sat on!

None of that was real?

It was all real.

You're my very best friend.

[distant growl]

I've got to go find a crowd to blend into

before I put you in danger.

I'll see you at the wedding.

Fine. But we're going to talk about this later!

I need my ring today, no matter the cost!

As long as it doesn't cost any extra.

7-10 split, man. Harshest of the harsh.

But if you pick this up, we win the whole shebang.

Doc! I finally figured out how I can help!

Your flameless fireworks look just like flowers!

I'll use them for the wedding!

Great whickering stallions. Wait!

The flameless fireworks are extremely volatile!

Without knowing what the trigger is,

they could go off at any moment!

My word, is that a Bugbear?

Matilda: There are so many things I'm forgetting!

I hope Cranky remembers to tell the musicians.

Oh, oh! I'll never get my mane done in time!

You must relax, my dear! We can handle anything.

We once did a pony's hair during the ceremony.

Oh, it's true! It's true!

They really are the best!

Matilda, I've just got to say I already feel like we're family.

You do?

Of course!

I'm Stephen Magnet, Cranky's best beast!

You're Stephen Magnet?

Well, what'd you expect, a Bugbear?

I've known Cranky forever!

Surely he must have told you about the time

he saved me from Flashfreeze Lake.

You're Stephen Magnet?

Oh, I know, I KNOW!

Typical Cranky to leave out minor details,

like the fact that I'm, you know, a sea monster, right?

[laugh]

Oh, I just love that old burro.

I'm sorry, Stephen, I guess I assumed you were a pony.

And I had no idea you had such adventures together.

Oh, honey! You don't know the half of it.

But let me tell you something:

in all that we've been through together,

the only thing he ever cared about was finding you.

Really?

Well, that and a baldness cure. [giggle]

He is the sweetest thing, isn't he?

All the stress I've put myself through.

All the stress I've put him through!

The only thing that matters is that we're together.

The wedding isn't the important thing; the marriage is.

[laughing]

Oh, my goodness gracious!

If you believe that, I have got a bridge to sell you!

All these ponies travelling to Ponyville,

putting on uncomfortable clothes,

sitting through a long ceremony...

you think any of them care about the marriage?

Honey, the wedding is EVERYTHING!

Is it nothing more than the endless search for a Cutie Mark?

And what is a Cutie Mark but a constant reminder

that we're all only one Bugbear attack away from oblivion?

And what of the poor gator, flank forever blank,

destined to an existential swim down the river of life

to an unknowable destiny?

Something like that might work.

What do you mean, you left it on the counter?

I thought you were bringing it!

Well, this is just wonderful.

I handled the gift for Cadance and Shining Armor.

You were supposed to do this one, remember?

Well, we can't just come to this wedding empty-hoofed!

[sobbing]

It's all right. He always cries at weddings.

[loud sobbing]

Usually it's not until the wedding starts.

These flameless fireworks look even better than flowers!

[giggle]

Attention, everypony!

Our friends have done it!

They've defeated the Bugbear!

[cheers]

Hey.

Hello.

So, uh,you didn't happen to mention our earlier conversation

about my secret identity to anypony, did you?

No. I did not.

And you're not the only one with a secret, you know.

You know those expensive imported oats

you were saving for a special occasion?

I cooked them up and ate them. All of them.

It's sort of thrilling to reveal your deepest, darkest secrets!

[laugh] That's what best friends are for!

Next time you can just bring your own gift

and I'll bring mine.

Fine.

My suit has vanished and this

was the only thing left in my closet.

How do I look?

Like a million bits!

Great whickering stallions! Look at the time!

We'd better get inside. Allons-y!

I can't believe I lost my hair!

I look ridiculous!

The love of my life deserves better than this!

Have no fear, Cranky, my dear!

It's Stephen Magnet's moustache to the rescue!

Aw, thanks, buddy.

No problem.

Now you get in there and marry that donkey!

Well? Is everypony here?

[slam] [clink]

All set, Mayor!

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today

to join these two in maretrimony.

As I look around this room, I can only imagine

how uncomfortable Cranky must be.

[laughs and chattering]

[grumbling]

But I also see so many ponies from all trots of life

brought together by love.

Cranky searched all across this great land of ours

to find Matilda.

And no matter what obstacles kept them apart,

love would finally bring them together,

just as it has brought all of us together now.

It's remarkable to me how a story

like Cranky's search for Matilda could fill this room

with such a unique collection of ponies.

It makes you realize that everypony

is the star of their own story.

And it's not just the main characters in our stories

that make life so rich.

It's everypony, those who play big parts

and those who play small.

If it weren't for everypony in this room

and many more who couldn't be here today,

Cranky and Matilda's lives wouldn't be as full

and vibrant as they are.

[loud sobbing]

And so, in front of all these loved ones...

Cranky, do you take this donkey to be your lawfully wedded wife?

You bet I do.

And do you, Matilda, take this donkey

to be your lawfully wedded husband?

I do.

Then I'm proud to say, I now pronounce you jack and jenny!

[cheers]

[popping explosions]

Of course! They need love to ignite!

How could I have missed it?

You know something, girls?

We are so lucky to live in this town.

I love you all.

Ow! That's where the Bugbear bit me.

Sorry.
