The hour is nigh. She tried alerting her friends to the impostor's cold and condescending behaviour, compared to Cadance's warmth and benevolence. Princess Cadance: My love will give you strength. Amy Rose: And it will take much more than a simple wedding to tear us apart. According to intelligence that was given to me just this very moment, I believe the Changelings are planning a revenge assault on the city. Amy Rose: [looks at her angrily] I've had enough! Barked Blade, who ran off to prepare the freshly replenished Changeling Army. What awaited himself and Twilight now was a long ride home. I just don't think I can forgive myself for letting you down." It was just a slip of the tongue. The Guard Captain immediately tried to calm down Celestia as best as he could. How could you do such a thing?! Night Light immediately hurried to the front door, before bowing to greet the princess. In fact, let her know that if she wants an audience with me to gain her trust, I would be more than happy to meet with her. [They run outta the house just as Shining Armor and Cadance walk out of the room]. [falls through the floor while Cadance walks off with a evil grin on her face and the first part ends with a nightmarish disturbing cliffhanger], [The second part begins as the scene changes to the Mane Six, Spike and Team Sonic in some caves as Twilight lights them up with her horn]. (In the overanalyze later folder, to be exact), Rarity was the first to appear, evidently having been right behind Cadance. Those girls have no right to even look me in the eye! "Come on in Cady. Cookies "I cannot hold my tongue any longer. Celestia could feel her gut twisting with guilt more and more. "I knew it. You, her friends and her princess put her and all of Canterlot in jeopardy! He'll always make time for you. "So you thought it was right to break the heart of "your most faithful student", betraying her trust in the process? ", "What place would that be Snake?" Thank you, darling! Rarity exclaimed, finding the missing spool under a roll of fabric. However, Cadance did take into account that while upsetting a bride before her wedding is an undeniably despicable act, the knowledge that the fate of Equestria was at stake managed to outweigh her crime, but only a little. Second, I kinda understand why everyone and Shining got mad at Twilight; they didn't know Cadence was Chrysalis, so they probably thought she was just insulting Cadence for no reason. We want this to end on good terms, that is all. This time we harvest, and then we kill. "Either way Son, you have shamed your family." Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Fluttershy: [laughter], [Applejack and Sonic saw Twilight looking out of the window sad and walk over to her]. NOW!!!" Shining Armor's protection spell will keep them from ever even reaching us! Take care of yourself." Licenses, Support us You have to help, [suddenly, a blue blur passes thorugh them, next thing they knew, they were wearing dresses]. With a quick and curt bow, Snake Bite flew off to Ponyville. At first, the baby dragon did nothing, but then, in the corner of her eye Applejack spotted Spike's hands curl into fists, fueled by his disgust, anger and frustration. "Snake, this is Lieutenant Blade. Chrysalis had her enemies right where she wanted them, and it was all thanks to Twilight that this was possible. My sister needs me.". ", Nodding in response, Cadance signalled to the Mane 5 for somepony to make a move. If your levels of bitterness increase, so too will the strength of the forces, to the point where the spell cannot protect you. Before she could say anything, Celestia continued. His partner did the same, before stepping back to allow Shining access. ", "Only the Royal Guard garrison ma'am. Naturally everyone was shocked, even the Princess was shocked at such an accusation. the Mane 5 could do little more than look at each other, speechless and shaken. But we did, so in all honesty, we can chalk that up to being a big fat lie. "But Commander, what of the Element Bearers? ", "Yes. [Celestia was surprised but agreed anyway]. Twilight was trying to warn you of an impostor, even if it meant making a bride cry. "Come on girls, you did well the first time. [normal] Princess Mi Amore Cadenza? [The Mane Six gasp and Shining Armor walk out of the pavilion, Team Sonic looked shocked, any anger they had for Twilight's behavior diminishing by the second], Twilight Sparkle: [looks at Team Sonic and Celestia] (They must be so disappointed in me) [her friends comforted her], [Cream, not willing to see her friend in such misery, ran up to her and sat down, putting her hand on Twilight's side]. Another brief pause followed, before Spike made the decision to report to Twilight. Now turn that frown upside down! Celestia couldn't say anymore, and Luna could see it. Now that she had a man in charge of drilling and equipment, she needed somepony to command the home defense. "Is this true?". Fluttershy didnt have any siblings whatsoever, so she couldnt have known how siblings would usually handle things like this. Oh right! Twilight said, pasting a happy smile on her face. The group was nearing Ponyville, and Cadance knew it was time for them to get ready. Believe me, I spent a lot of time with her when she was a filly, and she would never do something like that without good reason. "Never. Cadance and Rarity exchanged glances. Honestly Luna, I can't explain it. Princess Cadance: Please! Nodding to their sergeant, the Changeling troops assumed their disguises, as did Icy Tone and Snake Bite. Do you have any idea..?". Only he knows why I grieve at this time, and therefore I request that we be given our peace." Or who saved the true Princess Cadance? When we get out of here, we're gonna make you wish you were sorry! "I see somepony is eager!" Shining walked past Cadence, No it cant! he winced at a major migraine attack. It is I who should be remorseful and ashamed. Sonic: Hmm. Cut to Rarity. I have just one question. "Hello Cadance.". ", "You have nothing to be sorry for my dear sister. What plan, and who's he helping? Her thoughts were going around in so many circles, she was getting dizzy. "No ma'am. [the heroes were almost half asleep, when a green aura untied the knot holding the net to the streetlamp, Team Sonic, the Mane Six and Spike fall to the ground], [The group immediently look up to see Cadance looking down at them with a forgiving smile on her face], [Cadance's eyes flash green before her smile turns into an angry scowl], [Then green flames rise around the horrified Twilight and the others in fear as Cadance's Eyes begin glow Dark Devious Green eyes with an evil grin and they pull them down through the floor], Sonic: [shocked] Ha ha, uh-oh? They offered to help me get the respect and attention I deserved in exchange for taking over my soul, and without much hesitation, I accepted. That was when the two elder Apples understood Applejack's point. Spike piped up. Twilight made an effort to refute, but it fell on the painfully deaf ears of her brother as he continued, And she decided to replace her bridesmaids because she found out that the only reason they wanted to be in the wedding, was so that they could meet Canterlot royalty! Replied Velvet. Chat! Oh, and all the dresses and suits need mending. She jumps away just before Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy charge back at her, and they slam into each other face first. Everypony has learned from their mistakes, not least the girls. Have you forgotten just how much she believed in you? Fluttershy: Yeah guys [sighs] What do we do? She was crying tears of both despair and joy. They did not know that Twilight, too, had something to apologize for. There was no trusting the girls, considering the magnitude of what they had done to Twilight at the rehearsal, but it remained to be seen if there was any credibility in their desire to apologize, and even if their apology was solid enough to prove their remorse. Princess Celestia: Take the time to reflect and compose yourself, my student. Sonic: [dumbfonded] Wha- Why didn't you tell us?! Behind him, the doors flung open to reveal Celestia's Royal Guards, with Luna following closely behind. "What is the matter dear sister? If the Princess had guessed correctly, this wouldn't be good news in the slightest. Cream: Well, she did raise her voice at one of the birds during rehearsal. They have my permission to use tracking magic as well. "Is there anything we can do to make them realize we truly regret our mistakes?, I dont think so, I destroyed my familys honor because of my betrayal and our naivety. Pinkie's mouth was immediately sealed shut by the force of four hooves desperate to stop her from making things worse. This was the latter's ultimate redemption. Rarity added. As quietly as she could, she made her way back to her bedroom. The guards immediately saluted, before giving Luna the lead out of the room. "She bewitched her Smartypants doll with a Want It Need It spell which made half of Ponyville, including Big Mac, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo rip each other apart trying to get it. Knuckles: [whispers] Okay, now that's just harsh. Not only was Twilight banned from the wedding, but she barely got to defend herself for her accusations. ", With that, Twilight galloped back upstairs, utterly offended. A Canterlot Wedding: Aftermath Chapter 3: Friendship - FanFiction ", "No Rarity, I haven't forgotten, but let me ask you this. Shining Armor looked back at the orange earth pony with anger, You stay out of this Applejack! [Spike hold out the cushion and Celestia uses her magic to lift the rings and put them on Shining Armour and Cadance's horns]. And Im pretty sure Cadance would like a new wedding dress., Why of course, darling! Rarity said, completely overshadowing whatever it was that Cadance had meant to say. To complicate matters, nopony knew the truth at the time, so by a technicality Twilight was as much at fault as the girls were. Cadance replied calmly. She's evil! She zoomed in on the Spartan's head, intent on sniping him clean through the skull. Meanwhile, Luna was first to break the ice between herself and Celestia. "We weren't going to let Twilight be demoted back to Magic Kindergarten just like that! Once you finish breakfast, you had better go and fix this mess, understand?". Still, it needed to be done, and the stallion knew he could not forsake priorities for his own wellbeing. "I wish to inform Princess Celestia of an attack on our subjects." As for Spike, he was very much pushed to his limits here. However, Sharp Fang, who was also present in the war room, raised a matter which would have concerned the Changelings, were the situation any different. The strength of their commitment is clear. But the Mane Five still feel regret about how they left Twilight behind when she tried to warn them of Queen Chrysalis' treachery! Dr. Eggman: Yes, I know, but hey, the person we're thought this whole thing out carefully, so as long as everything goes to plan, we shall not fail! Twilight whimpered sadly. Rarity opened the bakery door to find what looked like the twisted body of Rainbow Dash lying in a grave she had dug herself, not to mention it wasn't exactly a neat job either. Sonic: Sorry, Twi. "Please Captain, lead the way. At a wedding?! There was virtually no chance that the changeling queen and her minions would threaten Equestria again thanks to the elements of harmony that ended the invasion. It seemed like she had something else she wanted to tell me. [looks around] Oh look, there's old Egghead! As for what you're going to tell her, I'm sure once the time comes, you will know what to say, and more importantly, how to say it. What they don't know is that I have fooled them all! "Whoa nelly, would y'look at that?" She is a mare now, not a foal. Inside the Changeling Hive, which too was being lashed by the ferocious rainfall, the leaders of Queen Chrysalis's army were gathered inside the war room, studying a strategic map of Canterlot which was spread out on the table. How dare you lecture us on how to be Twilight's friends!". "Guards, let's go. "I can remember spending most of the night cr-" Twilight Sparkle: Couldn't seem to make time to tell me he was getting married. Said Fluttershy. The colour was the same as Twilight's magical aura, a reddish hue of purple, but it also contained a dark tint. Spike immediately shot Applejack a glare in hopes it would send shivers down her spine. "Spike grabbed the scroll and started to read it she read it she had one question. Princess Cadance: Maybe we should just ignore her. Soon everypony in the castle was hard at work getting ready for the royal wedding. [The scene changes to evening as Shining Armor and Cadance have their first dance together as husband and wife, Twilight nods to Pinkie who smiles and zooms to boomboxes and a record player and pull DJ Pon-3, a white mare with a blue mane and glasses on her from behind to play]. The escort stopped just a few metres away from the Sun Princess, allowing Shining to step forward to address her. Twilight Sparkle: [echoing] Hello? Shining's thoughts were soon interrupted by the sound of Celestia throwing herself atop her bed, dispirited and miserable. Or at least, trying to. Perhaps the word "Twily" sparked connotations between Twilight and the memory of her brother banishing her. She may not be happy to see you, but if I know her, she will forgive you. It looks like most of the food was blown up, what with how much frosting is on the walls. Twilight frowned, looking around at the confection splattered walls in disbelief. a canterlot wedding twilight betrayed fanfiction The sheer force of it was overpowering. Pinkie piped happily. "Shininghow could you? Pinkie Pie: [gasp] [echoing] Best wedding ever! While his stance remained unchanged, he was willing to lend an ear to Cadance's plea. Shining dug deep before finally letting it roll off his tongue. "I'm shaking like a leaf. However, the former could not help but wonder why if Luna was so badly affected that she allowed the Nightmare Forces to take her over, then why did the same not happen to Twilight? Once more, the girls fell silent, unable to find an explanation for their actions. I may not agree on the accusations that she placed in front of us, but you didnt have to go straight up and yell at her doing something like that can scar a sibling!, Shining started to let it sink in, B-But, Shiningits true that Twilight herself was unreasonablebut you didnt have to say thatyou should go apologize Celestia said, And I have no doubt that she will forgive youand she will apologize tooMaybe even explain herself, Shining was silent for a moment, Youre righteveryoneIm a horrible brother. Unbeknownst to them, a Changeling disguised as a tanned yellow pegasus stallion, replete with a brown mane and tail had walked into town, and was quietly observing them. We pan over to Black Panther), (Fastforward to Twilight's friends, Shining Armor and Princess Celestia), [Twilight nods to Pinkie who smiles and zooms to boomboxes and a record player and pull DJ Pon-3, a white mare with a blue mane and glasses on her from behind to play], (Photos were taken of Pinkie eating a cake, Applejack playing the fiddle, Spike and Sweetie Belle dancing, Rainbow Dash with Soarin, one of the Wonderbolts and Rarity with Fancypants. Later, they're on board The Friendship Express train to Canterlot]. The battle was ferocious. The Lunar Princess knocked on the door, Twilight Velvet wasting no time in answering. The room full of celebrating ponies suddenly seemed claustrophobic. Alkaios! The worst thing about all this is that they didn't even care! Maintain your cover and I will report back when the time to attack is right. Interestingly enough, neither Granny Smith nor Big Mac were anywhere to be seen, but that mattered little to Applejack. Twilight Sparkle: I am not being possessive, and I am not taking it out on Cadance! His parents literally didnt take the news well and with the warning still buzzing in his head like a flock of angry parasprites, Shining began walking back to the palace, knowing he'd have to report to Princess Celestia Night and Velvets warning. It was my pride that convinced me to leave my best friend so I could follow after the Queen of them Changeling thugs, who I foolishly believed to be the real Princess Cadance. Spike! Twilight was ravin' about Cadence being an impostor and repeatedly called her evil, which made her cry. We already apologized for our mistakes! Please forgive me, I should've never left with the others. Dark and evil thoughts began to seep into Chrysalis's mind, but her thinking was quickly ceased by the yelling of a nearby farmer who fled to the village to warn the garrison. Bandages, casts, crutches, and wheelchairs are present in abundance. What are we going to tell Twilight?" I will ensure that the Sparkle parents do find peace, or may I be damned to Tartarus for my failure.". Whatever this was, they hoped it wouldn't be of any discomfort. "The wedding did go ahead, with Shining absolutely under the Changeling Queen's grip. One of our garrisons was attacked and defeated by Chrysalis and the remnants of her army. Queen Chrysalis: Ah, ah, ah. But now, the teacher who had taught her student so much about magic and friendship simply walks out on her, as did her brother and friends when all she was trying to do was save them from a terrible fate? Eventually, after a spree of incapacitating and harvesting the love of her opponents, Chrysalis was left with Aegis, who was a bedraggled mess. Replied Luna respectfully. I've been imprisoned like you and your friends. Twilight Sparkle: I will be presiding over the ceremony, but would very much like you and your friends to help with the preparations for this wonderful occasion. Said Rainbow. With no time to lose, he headed off to carry out his orders. Chrysalis's threat was met with laughter from the Guards, angering her greatly. Her ears were still ringing from the magical overload, despite the wave of power not being directed at her. Shadow: Because we're their friends, you idiot! What you are about to hear is top secret, and absolutely nopony can know of it." You will also be in charge of drilling. "Proceed" Answered the Guard, who proceeded to open his door to the study. "Shhh, it's OK sweetie. Yet, for somepony who holds so much faith in her student, and especially when that same student in equal measure believes in you, how could you let her down?". "What is it Granny Smith?" He tumbles to the ground in slow motion. Sonic: Again, sorry for not believing you. Inside their carriage, the mood was quite grim. ", "Yes ma'am. With that, the girls bade each other farewell, before returning to their homes. ", "Luna, I need to ask you some questions. The bride decides it wasn't the right time and complies by heading over to the hypnotized groom. Before long, she had reached her old quarters from when she was living in the castle, still in her early days as Celestia's protege. Dr. Eggman: And I thought I was a meanie! Something he couldn't quite put his claw on. Before his eyes, it opened to reveal Twilight, who was packing her saddlebags. The cowpony confirmed glumly. Silver: Yeah, I bet you and him get along just fine. They were much too busy with preparations for the royal wedding. First things first. The worst of it was from Celestia, whom Twilight idolised and worshipped even as a foal. Twilight barged into the rehearsal and accused..well, you, of being evil with no proof to back up her claim. Fluttershy: Yeah, both in the metaphorical and literal sense! They would act as a second echelon, coming in from behind to support the main force. Cadance was left with the job of escorting them out. Until Black Panther, Shuri and Mordecai's Crew show up to see Princess Celestia. Total duration [The real Cadance appears in the doorway. "Twilight has left the city with Spike". "Instead, I let the glamour of being a bridesmaid and the excitement of doing a Sonic Rainboom go to my head. By cutting off your ties with her and brushing off her warnings, you nearly brought upon Equestrias ultimate destruction." The Mane Six went over to the door and peeking through a gap, they can hear everything Shining Armor and Cadance are saying]. The latter looked up at her, waterfalls flowing down from her eyes. Where are you going? With an instant feeling of urgency coursing through her body, Luna was quick to acquiesce to Shining's orders. Like Twilight, Spike and Cadance before me, I find it hard to comprehend how you, along with Shining and the Element Bearers can dismiss the impostor's attitude as mere stress. Once the Princess of Love has entered the treehouse, I want you to signal the battalion, which will be following you, to storm both the treehouse and the village, capture the Princess and bring her to the Hive. None of this would've been possible without you and your friends, little sis. On it! Rainbow saluted and flew off, pulling down pieces of goo and pastry as she went. Princess Cadance: Oh, dear. Replied the alabaster unicorn. The first group is to form patrols with the orders to comb the city for any Changelings that may be still in the city. One would expect her to take it maturely. The words "You have a lot to think about" continued to ring throughout the young unicorn's head, a constant reminder of her loved one's betrayal. It ain't right of a princess to do something as foalish as a hoofshake." She glanced behind her to see Twilight's treehouse/library encased once more in a dark magenta coloured bubble. "Which is something I intend to fix immediately, because I'm planning a super special We're-Sorry-For-Betraying-You party just for you! "But that's not true Granny Smith! How it got the seven key ponies ultimately responsible for Canterlot's safety to drop every responsibility they had to the safety of the city in order to spend their time preparing for something as trivial as a wedding. Twilight faced him, neither smiling nor frowning. Said Shining, who stepped aside to allow Luna to comfort her distraught sister. Twilight Sparkle: Your spell! ", "Anytime darling.
