What Wasn't Suppose to Happen Makes the Situation all the More Right.

Chapter 4: You Know Nothing About Us!

The train on it’s way to Canterlot spread itself across a shimmering silver railroad. It’s rainbow color contrasted abruptly the plentiful white fields and hills in the surrounding area. Trees lined along side held a small variety of white shine. A billowing of light grey smoke adorned the train like a lengthy top hat. Inside each of the many carts a myriad of passenger ponies sat. Except one cart. That was reserved for the Princess of the night and her guests.

One would think that a room full of close friends were be loud with the buzz of conversation. But that would be incorrect for this cart contained a palpable awkward silence. Each pony sat uniformly in their seats. Pinkie, Gilda, and Twilight Sparkle sharing one bench. Across from them Luna, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy sat. On the other side of the aisle on the same side of the inter-species couple sat Applejack, Apple Bloom, and Sweetie Belle. Opposite them was Rarity, Spike, and Scootaloo.

“Why are you girls coming again?” Rarity asked, piercing the silence of the air, waiting for a prepared response.

“To learn a lesson about the Canterlot royalty and learn about love.” The CMC spoke as if operating as a hive mind.

“Was it really smart to bring them? Isn’t this a little mature for school filly’s?” Twilight asked choosing her words carefully.

“Yes Twilight, I surely couldn’t be expected to leave my poor sweet sister home alone.”

“And with Granny Smith and Big Macintosh out of town for that family reunion, I couldn’t leave Apple Bloom alone either.”

“I still don’t get why we couldn’t go to that.” Apple Bloom said not disappointed, but perplexed.

“Apple Seed only had a small area of land to use for the reunion, so she could only invite a few ponies. And the last time she saw our family was when Big Mac was really young, she probably doesn’t even know we exist.” Applejack stated, earning a head nod from Apple Bloom.

“I felt lonely without them, I hope it’s okay I hitched along.” Scootaloo said softly.

“No, of course it’s okay, I brought Spike alone too so I guess it’s only fair. Just forget I said anything.”

Silence fell over the group again. Everyone refused to make eye contact with one another. Even Princess Luna blushed when she would eye contact with Pinkie. It wasn’t until the griffon herself felt the undeniable call to say something.

“You know what, I’m sick of this. Even if this Mi Amore Ca-whatever says that Pinkie and I are legit, you still won’t let us be together.” Gildas eyes were focusing on the three mares in front of her.

“. . .” Fluttershy adjusted herself in silence.

“Blasphemy, are you saying that we won’t stay true to our word!” Luna exclaimed leaning halfway in between the two benches.

“That’s exactly what I’m saying. You hate me and will never allow Pinkie and I to be together!” Gilda retorted meeting Luna in the middle.

Despite the fact that Luna was all around bigger than the griffon, it didn’t stop Gilda from standing her ground. The two stared into one anothers eyes daring the other to make one move. Conversations from other carts could be made out clearly from the reserved one. No one dare make a move.

“Gildy, please calm down. Once we get to Canterlot and get this whole situation worked out, we can be together and we can through a party! Heh, heh, hoooo.” Pinkie’s words felt hollow even to her.

“Princess Luna, if I could say something.” Fluttershys' meek voice squeaked.

“What!?!” Luna yelled, immediately turning down the intensity when she saw the effect on Fluttershy.

“I-I-I-I w-w-wa-as just w-w-wondering wh-h-ho Princess Mi-Mi-Mi Amore Cadenza was?”

Luna blinked.

“That’s right, you all asked that about that before didn’t you?” Luna’s question received a unanimous head nod, even by Gilda who was pulled back down by Pinkie.

Luna calmed herself before she sat down. She began to explain the history of the once pegasus turned alicorn, her mastery over love, and the plans for her rule. The ponies

asked the standard questions about the princess like where she would rule, what this meant for the diarchy, and how in the world did a pegasus become an alicorn. All these questions Luna shrugged off as things not necessary to know.

Gilda was not amused.

“So this princess is just like you and Celestia? Yay! An uppity snob from Canterlot that doesn’t know the first thing about a relationship, is going to judge us? Yeah, this is just peachy.”

“Of course your ignorance made you look stupid again. If you knew anything about her you would know that she is in a committed relationship with a respectable stallion.”

Twilight cocked an eyebrow.

“Wait, a princess is actually in a relationship with somepony else? I haven’t even heard rumors that Celestia is taking interest in a romantic relationship, same with you. I just thought that princesses had to refrain from that kind of behavior.” Twilight confessed.

“Just because we’re alicorns doesn’t mean that we don’t feel just like other ponies. It’s just harder for us to express our feelings do to our positions. I for one am happy for Shining Armor and Mi Amore Cadenza.”

“Ah Luna, what was the name of that stallion again?” Twilight said with a smile two sizes too big.

“Shinning Armor.”

“What?”

“SHINING ARMOR.”

“What?”

“Damn it Twilight, I said Shin--”

A scream, not shrieky but still terrifying, from the teenage mare shook the landscape and almost knocked the train off the tracks.

‘When I get my hooves on him, I swear I’ll. . .’ Twilight’s thoughts became too sinister for print, as she quickly stomped off the train onto the platform. .

That train had arrived at the station no more than three seconds before Twilight gotten off. That speed record was something no one else on the train could challenge. The very air around the lavender unicorn was toxic. In their seats the rest of the occupants stayed plastered.

“What is up with her?” Gilda asked shakily to the pink pony she hung onto.

“I don’t know, I haven’t seen that kind of anger from her.” Pinkie replied grabbing onto her griffon-friend with equal tightness.

The rest of the group were silent except for the chattering of their teeth. The CMC, Rarity, and Applejack all held each other for comfort. Fluttershy tried to hide herself in Rainbow’s chest, while the cyan pegasus buried her head in a fluffy pink mane. Luna merely sat their astonished at the event before her.

Her faced turned into a hue of red the more she went over in her thoughts. Those same thoughts prohibited her to care about the outside world, demanding her full attention. Like so many of the dreams she had entered, Luna’s curiosity about her new habitat was peaked. However this environment held no landscape but merely noise. The roar of the mare from a dozen minutes ago.

It was glorious.

The definition of the voice. It’s forceful penetration of the air. It’s all encompassing quality, wrapping the body of the alicorn mare like a thick blanket around a filly in winter. It reminded Luna of her own ‘Canterlot Royalty’ voice. No one these days understood the voices worth. It was something that demanded everything it wanted, and would receive nothing less.

Luna always wondered if another stallion could fill this task. But, alas, all fell short of what she truly wanted, no matter how many times she called out for it. Now however was different. This mare who didn’t exemplify any capability beyond an irritated growl now mastered this wonderful voice. Luna must have her.

“Uh, Princess, you’re drooling a bit.” Applejacks voice barely found it’s way through the fog riddled maze that was Luna’s consciousness.

“Huh, wha. . . Where’s Twilight Sparkle!” Luna asked rhetorically as she looked out the window, just catching the last bit of a purple tail rounding a corner.

Quickly Luna shot out of the cart onto the platform, shouting for unicorn to stop. What the passengers heard is the second noise that day that wouldn’t be forgotten anytime soon.

“Take me! Please take me! Rut me here and now!”

“. . .”

“What in the fuck is going on here!?!” Gilda’s exasperation felt like a vice on her head.

“The writer couldn’t think of a creative way for Luna to lose her feelings for me, so he’s hoping that the readers will ignore that subplot entirely by introducing a popular shipping pair.” Pinkie stated.

Gilda stared blankly at her partner who requested that the comment be forgotten. Abiding by the request the griffon looked over at the rest of the party.

“Well, are we going or what?”

Cadence didn’t have time for this shit. She had events to plan and husband to look over. She had so many things to do after she announced her wedding that her body was starting to feel the toll. She retreated to her luxurious bedroom, already filled with mannequins donning potential dresses for her big day. Cadence sat on her extravagant bed to contemplate.

‘Why am I doing this again.’ She asked herself looking at the picture of Shining Armor and giggling perversely. ‘Oh that’s why. I guess that and he supplies me with all the love I could possibly need.’

“Princess Cadence, so sorry to disturb you but you have ponies out here demanding your presence.” a servant pony said pushing in the tall dual doors.

“Ugh, if it’s another noble tell them that I have no time for their petty squabbles.”

“It’s not any of them Princess, it’s the element of magic!” Cadence looked over at the pony with new interest in her eyes.

“You don’t say, well then, tell them I will meet them in the royal chambers.”

With a courteous head bow head bow the servant left the room. Cadence was left in a silent room to contemplate the new developments, Developments that could only be made at the head of the bed, snuggled up to a pillow.

It was a feeling the griffon knew all too well. Eyes drilling in the back of her head. Feeling as if she was a freak experiment that everyone could gawk at. Of course when she would look back at them, including the royal guard, they would immediately avert their gaze.

‘Dweebs.’

The palace was expectantly magnificent. The group consisted of the CMC, most of the elements of harmony, and one very out of place griffon. Mostly because the group Rainbow Dash walked between them ever since they stepped off the train. This didn’t stop them from trying to reunite, but almost all attempts ended in vain. It didn’t help that the imposing royal guard would accuse the griffon of assault when she hugged Pinkie, who got her lover out of a scrap by giving the guards the ‘Pink’ eye, which was just a Pinkie Pie glare.

The CMC were going ballistic in the long corridor. Running every which direction, touching everything in sight. If they weren't so young, the guards might of went to the Princesses with a sexual harassment lawsuit. While the filly’s filled their brains with all of the new information, the marshmallow unicorn fawned over the luxurious decor so much she needed her earth pony friend to prop her up.

Applejack was indifferent.

The hallway seemed to stretch forever as the even the filly’s began to lose energy getting to their destination. But just as they were going to give up hope, a large hall with a throne in the middle came into sight.

‘This is it.’ Pinkie and Gilda thought simultaneously

As they ever closer the view of a pink alicorn sitting on the throne came into view. Not only that, but a midnight blue alicorn, and a lavender unicorn. Speaking of the latter, no one could be sure but it looked like she was shaking her rump in the general direction of the Princess.

“. . . and do a little shake.” Twilight said before falling into a fit of giggles, much to the relief of her pony friends.

“Hey Twi! Does this mean you’re not mad anymore?” Applejack called out, slightly hesitant, but still gaining Twilight’s attention.

“Oh hey girls, I got great news! My brothers marrying Cadence!” Twilight rushed the group nearly bowling them over.

“That’s great darling. . . Who’s Cadence?”

“Wait, I haven’t told you about her? She’s only the most kind, gentle, and loving foal-sitter of all time!” Twilight’s excitement could barely be contained.

Pinkie and Gilda smiled to themselves. Maybe this pony would be able to see that, while their relationship might be very young, that their love is genuine. Twilight then invited the group to approach the throne. They proceeded to do so, passing by Luna who still had the smitten look on her face.

“What is this intrusion for? And why do I have a griffon in my court?” Cadence asked impatiently sitting high up on her throne.

“My name is Gilda, and we came to you so you could end our problem.” Gilda spoke in an unexpectedly serious tone.

“Oh, and what would that problem be?”

“While we already know the answer, we need you to tell these ponies that our love is legitimate.” Gilda said giving a quick peck on the cheek to a blushing Pinkie who gave a similar answer.

‘I thought I smelled something delicious walking in here. Inter-species relationships are delightful, especially when it’s intensified with a rebellious spirit. This is going to be fun.’ Cadence thoughts graced a smile on her lips.

The princess of love sat there, staring at the lovers. Her eyes squinted as if looking directly into the sun. Her pink hoof rubbed along the bottom of her chin. Everyone began to sweat, except the Princess of the night who was still absorbed in her affection, eagerly awaiting the judgement.

“To answer your question ‘is this love legitimate?’’“

Everyone leaned in.

“No.”

“HA! CALLED IT!” Dash exclaimed jumping into the air.

“What, b-b-but how?” Pinkie shock was complemented by the boastful griffons silence.

“I am the Princess of love and you asked me whether your love was real and I gave you my answer. I don’t see how a pony could love a wild animal such as this. What’s the problem?” Cadences eyebrow quirked.

The cyan pegasus had already taken to her air in celebration. She had also took Fluttershy as a willing captive, a wide smile on her face. This happiness was not shared by the rest of the group who look disappointed. Gilda’s silence spoke enough for her. But it was Pinkie and her violent trembling that was most noticeable.

“How could everypony be so stupid. They just don’t understand that this has nothing to do with them. I LOVE GILDA, PERIOD! I DON’T CARE WHAT THE IN THE HELL ANYPONY ELSE THINKS!”

Her hair deflated.

“You think that we’re lying, we’ll show you how wrong you are!” Pinkie quickly dipped Gilda in front of herself, suspending her from the ground with her own two hooves.

“P-P-Pinkie, what are you doing?” Gilda chirped.

“I’m showing them how much of a wild animal I am.”

Then they fucked.
