When back in the ballroom, every pony went and did what they wanted to do. One of the guests, Emily, had asked Spike to a dance, which he happily accepted. Other guests were talking with some of the Elements of Harmony about life advice, be it animal care, fashion advice, or harvesting stories.

All in all, Keira and Discord were very grateful that the day as a whole went well. The wedding ceremony was pleasant, the reception had been a blast so far, and things had run even more smoothly than they thought they would. Near the end of the reception, Princess Celestia came to see the newlyweds.

Princess Celestia: Keira, Discord. May I have a word with you two?

Keira: Y-yes, of course! We didn’t do anything wrong, did we? I’m sorry if I upset you or made you mad about-

Princess Celestia hushed her with a gentle press of her wing against Keira’s mouth.

Princess Celestia: Hush, now. You’ve nothing to worry about. Nothing wrong has been done and there’s no reason for anger at all. This is a wonderful occasion.

Keira: R-right. Sorry about that. I got a little in over my head. It’s just it all feels like a dream. I just hope that when I wake up that it won’t be.

Discord: Rest assured, Keira. This is no dream.

Princess Celestia: He’s absolutely right. Now to what I had wanted to talk to you about. I ask that you two spend a little time with your friends and family tonight. You two will be leaving right after the wedding for your honeymoon.

Discord: Honeymoon?

Keira: How exciting! Where are we going?

In Canterlot Gardens, the guests were getting comfortable and socializing with every pony else that had come while they waited for the main event.

Heartistry: I can’t believe this is actually a thing that’s happening. I honestly thought this was meant to be some sort of running gag or something.

Bloom: I mean, I saw them kissing in the tower during the Summer Sun Celebration, so I guess it’s a legitimate thing. Why else would we be here? You know, unless this is all some sort of a weird dream.

Cryptic: So, think we can start placing bets on who’s gonna get the bouquet this time or should we wait on that?

Silver: No, this is a great time for that! My bets are on the energetic pink one that lives at Sugar Cube Corner.

Cryptic: Fine. My bets are on the same unicorn that went berserk for the bouquet last time at the Royal wedding.

Silver: Fine then! May the best pony win!

Apollo: Wait, so you’re the one who was Keira’s professor?

Canvas: That would be me, indeed! I’ve sort of adopted her as my own daughter since I heard of her own father’s passing before she had been born. A tragic event, truly, but she’s certainly come a long way.

Apollo: I would say so. I don’t know her very well personally, but we’ve talked a few times and we get along well, but after hearing that story, I think I’ve come to know her better already.

It wasn’t much longer that the two newsponies that Keira had met yesterday at the diner had arrived and started setting up to get some pictures.

Scribes: Gosh! She wasn’t kidding when she said it was a big thing! This place is packed!

Headliner: It’s starting to feel like the Royal wedding all over again! Just with like maybe half the audience.

Scribes: Perhaps now would be a good idea to start brainstorming some headliners, wouldn’t you agree?

“Pumpkin? What is it, girl?”

They weren’t far from Little Homeworld, so Lapis had been occupied for a bit by tending to nearby plants. She’d lost track of Pumpkin, though. Thankfully, it seemed like Pumpkin hadn’t gone too far. When Lapis finally caught up with her, she flew a little closer and was greeted by the sight of a stranger.

While I appreciate the compliments, holding yourself to the standards of other rpers is not a good thing to do. Your Gemsona is your own and is made in your own time and effort. There are Gem OCs that I am a little envious of myself who have extremely dedicated writers and artists behind them. 

Though if you want advice, here’s this: Don’t force ideas for your OC/’Sona to come. Let it flow as it wants to. Sometimes the best ideas are those that come on the spur of the moment. Just let your imagination roll free and you’ll make something amazing before you know it!
