Gunray walked over to Twilight's Castle. It had been a long day since the battle. He walked up to the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom castle's door and knocked on it. Twilight opened the door and saw the Viceroy of the Trade Federation.

"Viceroy!" Twilight yelled, excited.

"Hello, Princess Twilight Sparkle," he said, bowing to her.

"You may rise Viceroy." she told Gunray.

Gunray stood up. He looked at Twilight's face. She smiled at him, and his lips curled into a small smile. Then he finally spoke.

"Can I talk to you alone?" he asked.

"Hmm," she replied. "My friends are in the throne room talking. So I guess it would be fine to talk,"

Gunray followed Twilight into the castle, where the princess took Gunray to the library. Inside the library, Gunray sat down in a chair as Twilight sat in another chair facing the Viceroy. Then they began their talk.

Inside the throne room, the Mane 6 were siting in their thrones while 8 OOM Security Battle Droids, with battle droid backpacks, guarded each door.

"That battle was AWESOME!" Rainbow yelled.

"It was okay," Fluttershy said very lowly.

"Leading the B2 Super Battle Droids wasn't that hard," Applejack stated.

Pinkie got out of her throne and ran over to 2 of the OOM Securities guarding a door.

"WOW! I never seen this kind of battle droid before! What kind of droid are you? Huh, huh, huh?!" she asked an OOM Security.

"Um, I'm an OOM Security Battle Droid. I do security jobs."

"WOW! I love your red!" Pinkie told the droid.

"Thanks," he replied.

Pinkie ran back over to her throne. Rarity spoke next.

"Girls, I have something interesting to say..." Rarity started.

Everypony faced Rarity. The OOM Securities shut themselves down since they didn't want to get in the Mane 6's business.

"Are the droids shut down?" Rarity asked.

Fluttershy looked at all of the OOM Securities. "All of the OOMs are shut down," she told Rarity.

"Good. Now here's the secret..." Rarity started.

"What I wanted to talk about..." the Viceroy started.

"Yes. Go on," Twilight told the Viceroy.

"Do you know why Rarity is acting so strange towards me?" he asked.

"Does she like you?" she asked.

"As a friend or more?"

"More."

Gunray quickly jumped up.

"LIKE ME?!" Gunray yelled.

"It's possible!" Twilight explained.

Gunray walked around in circles trying to figure out what to do. "What should I do?! I don't know a thing about romance!"

Twilight used her magic to bring Gunray back to his seat. "Viceroy, calm down!" she said.

"HOW?!" he yelled.

"Think, Viceroy. Rarity tells everypony about her feelings. The only thing she doesn't do, is tell the pony she's in love with the truth," she said.

"Then what should I do? Is it even legal to have kids with a pony?" he yelled. "How am I even going to tell Poggle and Tambor about this?"

"Let's start working on this now," Twilight started, then used her magic to grab a book about romance.

"You like Viceroy Gunray?" Fluttershy asked Rarity.

"Yes. Don't tell him I said this," Rarity told the Mane 6.

"Rarity, you should tell him instead of hiding the truth!" Applejack stated.

Rainbow Dash laughed. "You like the Viceroy?! HAHAHAAH! He's UGLY!"

Everyone glared at Rainbow Dash. "RAINBOW!" they all yelled.

"What?! I'm just saying since he has those wrinkles all over his face!"

"Rainbow Dash, how would you like it if you fell in love with...um..." Fluttershy started. "That Archduke from Geonosis! And-and we called him ugly! How would you feel then?"

"WHAT?! I heard that Poggle guy is over 100 years old!" Rainbow Dash stated.

"Never mind," Fluttershy said. "You're missing the whole point."

"Personally, I love everyone in the CIS!" Pinkie told the Mane 6.

The Mane 6 looked at Pinkie if she was crazy. Then Rainbow Dash tried to tease Pinkie. "Hey Pinkie Pie! Aren't you and OOM-9 dating?!"

"Dating? Silly. Me and OOM-9 are just friends!" she told the Mane 6.

"Dang it! My teasing didn't work on Pinkie. But maybe it will on Fluttershy!" Rainbow said before looking at Fluttershy.

Fluttershy looked scared. She saw Rainbow Dash smirking. "Hey Fluttershy! You're dating the Droid Tri-Fighter!"

Fluttershy quickly blushed. She was upset and she slowly went down in her throne.

"Fluttershy and Droid Tri-Fighter, siting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love, then comes marriage, then come the Droid Tri-Fighter with the baby carriage! HAHAAHAHAHAHA!" Rainbow teased.

Fluttershy had enough. She felt tears rolling down her cheeks. Then she took off flying into one of the doors and cried. The Mane 6 glared at Rainbow.

"Oops," the rainbow pegasus said.

"First step, say hi and introduce yourself. Then go on dates and get married after the mare wants to date you," Twilight explained.

"Okay. That doesn't sound too hard," Gunray told Twilight.

"Step two, make sure the mare isn't snobby. Make sure she helps the household and protects the family," she told the Viceroy of the Trade Federation.

"Hmm. What's next?" Gunray asked.

"Step three, make sure the mare likes you for what your are, not just your looks!" she told the Separatist hero.

"Looks?! Rarity won't even like me for looks! I'm all wrinkly and old!" he told the Princess of Ponyville.

Gunray got up and walked around in circles again. "How am I supposed to look good?! I don't want to be on the HoloNet News if me and Rarity ever got married. The Republic will easily come and invade Equestria, and kill several ponies in the process."

"Calm down Gunray! Sit down," Twilight said as she grabbed Gunray with her magic and put him in his seat. "And let's keep reading. We only have two more steps."

"RAINBOW DASH!" Rarity yelled.

"You hurt Fluttershy's feelings!" Applejack stated.

"YEAH!" Pinkie yelled.

"She needs to grow up!" Rainbow told everyone. "I mean, I was joking around! That doesn't mean you have to cry!"

The Mane 6 growled at Rainbow. They all surrounded her.

"Okay! I'm sorry!" Rainbow fibbed.

"You don't mean it!" Applejack yelled.

"What?! I'm telling the truth!" the rainbow pegasus told AJ.

"Rainbow, you know you're dealing with me. I don't lie and I can tell when somepony's lying!" Applejack told Rainbow.

"Okay. I'll apologize...later."

The Mane 6 were still glaring at Rainbow.

"Step four, make sure you have fun during your relationship," Twilight told Gunray.

"FUN?! Tambor and Poggle are going to laugh at me! They'll be having a blast, not me!"

"Step five, enjoy your date," Twilight said as she closed the book. "So Viceroy, how did you like it?" she asked.

"Princess, do you have a crush on anyone?" Gunray asked politely.

Twilight quickly blushed. "I kinda of like a pony named Flash Sentry. He's kinda cute."

"I see. Is he very shy to you?" Gunray asked.

"Well...yes. We're both very shy to each other," Twilight said. "What's the matter, Gunray?"

"I'm just worried when we get together, something bad happens and I'll mess it up."

"Viceroy, don't down yourself. Try to talk to her and don't tell her you know she likes you. Okay?" Twilight told Gunray.

"Alright! I'll try."

"Try not. Do or do not. There is no try," Twilight explained.

At Coruscant, 3 Venator-class Star Destroyers and 2 Acclamator-class assault cruisers were blockading the planet. Inside the Bridge of the Republic Command Ship, Corrupter, Admiral Victor Strang was inside the hologram communicator room. He was speaking to Chancellor Palpatine on the hologram.

"Yes, Supreme Chancellor?" Victor asked bowing to Palpatine.

"I found this information vital to the Republic. Separatist leader Viceroy Gunray is on a planet called Equestria. Take your cruisers and destroy Gunray and the population! Leave no survivors since they're all Separatists!" Palpatine commanded Victor.

"Yes, Supreme Chancellor! I will kill all of the Separatists," Victor answered.

Then the Palpatine hologram turned off. He then faced a clone navigator.

"Prepare the fleet to go to Equestria!" Victor commanded the navigator. "I want all AT-TEs ready for battle. Have the fighters prepared! We're going in and we're going in heavy!"

"Right away Admiral Strang!" the clone navigator responded.

Then the Corrupter, the 2 Venator-class Star Destroyers, and 2 Acclamator-class assault cruisers went into hyperspace to kill the ponies and the CIS.

Author's Note

I wanted to have the Republic come in as a secondary villain as the dragons are still the main villain. I dunno if I'll have the red dragon and Victor Strang team up. I also got Victor Strang from the Empire. He commanded the Star Destroyer Conqueror but the Rebellion blew it up.
