Shining's Mind Control

We rode away into the darkness saying goodbye to everyone before our honeymoon began. Thanks to Twilly, the changeling king was stopped by me and my husband’s love. After that, we had the real wedding and danced the night away. An hour before midnight we were set to depart, out of Canterlot to a luxurious hotel in Manehattan as Celestia had requested the very best for the newly wed royals, she called us.

Next to me was the one I love, the handsome Prince Bolero. The handsome stallion of my dreams, I lay my head against his muscular chest, which was covered by his wedding outfit: a white vest and tie covered by a blue tux. A pair of blue trousers, completed with his golden royal hoof shoes and his crown. While I wore my service uniform; my red dress shirt, blue trousers (to match Bolero’s) and my armoured crest, completed by my armoured boots.

I felt his arm go around my back as he rested his head on mine.

“It’s been a crazy day, hasn’t it Shine?”

“Yep who’d of thought we would be banishing changelings hours before getting married.”

“Well I had hoped I had been more aware of your weird behaviour weeks before!”

I sat up at this and looked deep into his eyes. “Wait…weeks, what you mean by weeks! I thought you were just taken a few days before the wedding, how long were you down there?”

“I would say about 3 weeks give or take a week or so, why did you not know I was missing?” his face saddened.

Then it hit me I hadn’t been able to tell that the king of the changelings, (Morphalis I believe his name was…) was impersonating Bolero for about a month and I hadn’t even the slightest idea!

“No, I didn’t notice Bolero. When Celestia had told me there was a threat and told me to place the shield up it drained my power and energy. Along with trying to be the captain of the royal guards, keep everyone counted for and help ‘you’ with preparations when possible. I really had no idea. I’m so sorry.”

I felt sick; I couldn’t even notice my husband to be was replaced, how was i going to be the husband he deserved. My ears dropped as I stared at the floor of the carriage. I couldn’t bring myself to look at Bolero knowing I caused everything that had happened. I felt so guilty.

He lifted my chin so he can look me in the eyes. “Hey shine, it’s okay. Even Celestia couldn’t tell! Along with that no-one knew that changelings existed. They were meant to be extinct a long time ago. Plus at the invasion you was under a mind control spell. I spoke to your lieutenant, Spear Shield I believe. He said you weren’t yourself until we banished the bugs. So please don’t blame yourself, like I know you are….it’s not your fault.”

He gave me a smirk, he knows me to well. Knowing that when I look down and say quiet that I’m hiding something. I gave him a playful shove. He was smiling. He placed his arms around me and we shared a hug. I felt better. When we let the hug go he undid his tie and took off his tux. I proceed to remove my armoured crest. He then re-wrapped me in a hug and we shared a long passionate kiss. We carried on making out until the carriage landed near the hotel.
