Ponies had gone, and some had come, drifting in and out of Equestria with the help of the primal powers the ponies had unleashed and befriended. The Overlord was not among their number.

A year ago this would have been impossible if not inconceivable. This planet was one tiny backwater in a massive cosmos, not worth his time or attention! He had a Netherworld to reclaim and a host of potential challengers to his title of Most Badass Freakin' Overlord to break!

But somehow, he'd never gotten around to going back. There were reasons, of course, and some of them he had no problem explaining -- for one, he had no damn intention of leaving until he could be sure Dame Rarity could both come with him and at least occasionally be physically compatible with him out in the vast universe beyond. For another, they had a wedding to plan! But what he never really admitted, not even to himself, was how comfortable Equestria felt, and how -- well, the only word that fit was happy -- he was here. Ponies and their friendships...

So the Overlord remained, and on any given day he could be found strolling through Ponyville and gloating over deeds of evil and malice he seemed content to only claim he might to someday, or holding a very informal court in his castle.

And for the keen-eared, they might hear a terrible wail coming from the ancient Everfree castle deep one night, as the Overlord opened a cupboard and a stuffed animal promptly fell on his head.

Some things never changed.

When Rarity first arrived, she never would have thought her life would have taken the course it had. Fresh from a war and still attempting to cope with what happened.. But now? She couldn't be happier all because of Zetta.

Though, he was hardly her type. He was egotistical, a self proclaimed villain... and yet he had a charm that slowly won her over and even though she did miss her Equestria, she wasn't about to go back without him with her nor was she capable of going to his world just yet.

Which left them with a life here and Rarity was perfectly fine with that. Besides, they had a wedding to plan and she wasn't about to let him get out of it.

Rarity was currently surveying one of the ballrooms to see if it would be suitable for the reception after having double checking the throne room when she heard a loud wail from a certain stallion which prompted her to go investigate.

"...Darling, usually it's the mare with the high pitched wail when they're scared, not the stallion." Can he hear her amusement~?

Zetta lay flat on the ground, sprawled out with legs and wings in every which direction beneath a giant stuffed bear that was larger than he was.

Of course, its weight was nowhere near enough to splat the Overlord, or even knock him down. Attribute that half to surprise and half to despair.

"How come you never find any of these?" he said weakly from beneath it.

"If you recall, the last time I found one of the left over surprises, I got pie in my mane." And had been rather unhappy about how long it took to get the stain out of her white coat.

"After that, I've been cautious about opening closets and other hiding places. My gems are rather handy in that matter." Ad she might be a little smug about it.

"Well, have a stuffed animal. Happy somethingsday." Pinkie Pie would probably like one of her 'presents' going to a friend, after having successfully tormented Zetta, so he supposed it was a win/win. Grunting as he got back to all four hooves, he lifted the bear with magic and passed it over to her.

She easily takes it with her own magic and holds it up just to take a better at the stuffed bear with a slight smile before setting it aside.

"Thank you Darling and you have to admit, Pinkie Pie does have good taste in stuffed animals." She glanced back at Zetta. "So what were you looking for anyway?"

"Hmph. I should know, I've run into enough of them over time." Zetta made a great show of dusting himself off, as if this could salve his wounded dignity. "Actually, I just wasn't paying attention to where I was going... I had other things on my mind."

"Oh? What kind of things?" Sorry Zetta, there's no saving his dignity when it comes to her. "I wonder if we can start a collection of things she's left behind and pay her back..."

Grinning, the Overlord took a step closer. "I was thinking about this beautiful girl I know."

If he can't save his dignity, he'll distract her with charm. Besides, the answer was entirely true.

"Oh? And what were you thinking of doing with this beautiful mare you know?" Charm will only get him so far, but, for now it's far enough.

"That's a pretty extensive list." Zetta reached out to slide a foreleg around her shoulders and draw her close... though not with any level of amour beyond his normal. Not yet anyway. "Though marrying her comes to mind."

She lets him pull her in close and even leans into him as she puts on a look of pondering his words. All for show of course. "Hm.. And I suppose this mare has already said yes and is planning the wedding. I think I may be jealous of this mare."

Rarity pouts a bit before smiling and leaning in to kiss his cheek. "Of course, being jealous of myself is hardly becoming of a Knight Commander.. and a bride to be."

Zetta grinned all the more broadly at the kiss, even as the expression lost some of its smarm and became more purely delighted. "I'm glad you're not too jealous." After all, he'd always be a flirt at least, and he was good friends with other mares. "Maybe I should ask you who's on your list."

Which she is well aware of and doesn't seem to mind so much. Besides, if Zetta were to stray, there would be Tartarus to pay and no pony wanted to see just how vicious a mare like her could be when pissed off. Especially considering her choice of weaponry and her precision.

"Hm.. For wedding guests, nothing short of all of Ponyville of course. Plus the princesses."

"Oh -- not that list." The Overlord chuckled, idly batting at the curl of her mane with a hoof around her shoulder. "All those people were already on the list for sure. We may need to go larger 'cuz I'm the Overlord, actually, but if we're inviting people for political reasons I'm guessing you don't mind showing off how good a dress you can make can be in front of all of them."

Rarity smirks faintly. He's not the only one that can distract. "Darling, my wedding dress shall be a thing of legends that no pony will forget. And, if we need a larger venue for the wedding, we can see about someplace outdoors. Though I had hoped to do something here at the castle."

"We can do the reception here," Zetta responded instantly, proving that he had indeed actually been thinking about the whole wedding. Miracles do occur! "It might not be big enough for the ceremony, but with people moving between venues like dining and dancing, it'll fit the party easily."

It's good to know she's not the only one planning things. "That could work nicely I think... then all that's left is decor, menu... and your suit."

At that Rarity leaned in for another kiss. "I have a few things in mind, though you may have to come in for a private fitting~." One that may.. or may not involve a locked door and a 'do not disturb' sign.

Zetta smiled into the kiss as he returned it, shifting his weight slightly to tug the mare into closer contact with him. "You know, I never knew dating a fashion designer would have all these... perks."

"Darling, if you think dating one has all sorts of perks, wait until we're married." Rarity leaned against him as he pulled her in closer.

Zetta has no idea what he's gotten himself into.

...No, but the way she said that led him to imagine a few things that sent shivers through his body. Rarity didn't need more reassurance that she'd pretty much conquered him completely, but she got some anyway.

"You are so worth all the effort I put into winning you over," he said huskily.

That reassurance always thrilled her. Finally giving Zetta a chance may have been one of her best moves to date and certainly the most rewarding.

"Good because you are much more than I expected and I definitely like that."

The snuggle he gave her had less of passion and more of sincere warm affection in it than she was allowed to admit to anyone else.

"The list I was talking about earlier was your freebie list," he said with a grin.

Don't worry, she won't tell. Rarity's rather fond of having this side of him to herself. "Hm...As in ponies you can't get mad about if I were to...lets say have a private session or two behind closed doors?"

Of course she knew what he meant.

"Of course. Some catches are so rare and unlikely that if you actually land one, no one could be so cruel as to ask you to turn them down." Zetta winked broadly at her. "You'd totally have been on mine if I hadn't managed to actually achieve the impossible, you know."

"Since you've already achieved the impossible, who might remain on your list?" She was curious and perhaps stalling considering who was on HER list.
