As Twilight was outside with her friends they watched the other people pass by them as they talked to eachother. While they talked to eachother Twilight found out that she had leave early for a meeting so she left which caused confusion among her friends but she didn't care to explain at that moment as she ran to go to the meeting. When she got to the castle she sat down and saw Celestia. "I'm glad you could make it. Cadence is in dire need of help but I can't tell her as people are listening. We were wondering if you could take a trip to the Crystal Empire with Cadence so you and her can talk about how you can help her. Normally I would talk to her with her here but I think that you should do it as this needs to stay off the books. Celestia said. "Sure I'll go. I just need to pack a few things for myself before I can go to the meeting if you understand that. I'll need to eat before I go and I'll need to pack something to eat after the meeting. If you could give me time to do that I'll appreciate it." Twilight said. Celestia shrugged and told her she could do that. Twilight ran home and packed everything as quickly as possible. She ate as fast as possible as well and raced out the door with Spike looking on in bewilderment. He then realized she had to go somewhere and was leaving him there. He sighed as he was being left alone once again. Twilight ran to the train station and made it just in time before the next train took off for the crystal empire. She shoved the money onto the counter for a ticket and grabbed it and ran. When she got to the train she gave the ticket to the counter and boarded the train. When she got inside the train she sat down and waited for the rest of the passengers to get on and then the train took off for the Crystal Empire, she sat there in boredom as she forgot to grab a book to read on the train. She was going to be very bored the whole train ride. Twilight sighed in annoyance as she hoped that the train wouldn't cause her to be late as the trains were never dependable. The train caused everybody to be late. She sat there tapping her feet impatiently as the train rode as fast as it was permitted. Twilight started to squirm in her seat in annoyance, she hated the train as she sat there she heard other passengers by her talking and being kind of loud. She groaned as she covered her ears and tried to remain patient. Soon treats were offered to the passengers who took them ate a bit but when they were offered to Twilight she flat our refused and asked how much longer it was going to be and the person said an hour, Twilight groaned in annoyance and just sat there. As the train rode to its destination. Twilight reminded a service attendant that if she was late then it would be so embarrassing for her and rude to Cadence. The service attendant assured her that they would be on time. Twilight looked out the window as she stayed impatient. Then after an hour of riding the train the train stopped at its destination. Twilight got up from her seat and rushed off the train and ran to Cadence's palace. Once she got there she rushed past the guards who shouted objections toward her but she ignored them she burst into the main meeting room and slammed her stuff down while she panted for air. Cadence acknowledged her Twilight sat down. "What do you want Cadence? I better have come out here for a good reason or you have will have wasted my time I had my whole evening planned until Celestia comes to me with this sudden meeting." Twilight stated. Cadence picked up a folder and slid it upher. Twilight looked at it and shrugged. "The hell is this supposed to be? High school homework? Real funny a Cadence. Stop trying to be funny your not good at it?" Twilight asked. "Stop complaining and open it Twilight. Your being very rude I wish you weren't like that. Your fine at other diplomatic meetings. Anyway what that file is is a file that holds of all the address of the leaders in Equestria." "And what does this have to do with me exactly?" Twilight said as she stopped looking through. Cadence stood up and stared through a window near the streets. Twilight waited for her to talk and soon Cadence turned around and spoke. "I need you to do some snooping for me. Their are leaders around Equestria who don't want to....cooperate me, some may even want to sabotage my plans for making Equestria a better place which I will do by promoting equal rights while also lowering taxes for a lack of a better word. I want you....to take care of them if you know what I'm saying." Cadence said with a threatening tone. Twilight became scared as she hoped that Cadence wasn't thinking on doing anything sinister to anybody. Twilight tried to speak but couldn't as she was just to nervous but she spoke. "What....do you want me to do?" Twilight asked. Cadence turned around and got a sly smile on her face as she told Twilight about why she needed her. "I need you to go to the mayors office in Manehattan, Appleloosa, Fillydelphia and Cloudsdale and.....get rid of each of them....make them disappear by....suspicious circumstances. If they aren't there then go to their home addresses that are in the folder. You know what I'm saying?" Cadence asked. Twilight realized what Cadence was saying and she was disgusted. "Cadence I can't kill people for you! Killing is wrong! Your the princess of love!" Twilight said Cadence grabbed Twilight's shirt and interrupted her. "Listen Twilight I know you might think that this is wrong but we don't have a choice! If we don't get rid of these leaders then the nations will not comply with my ruling. You will comply Twilight or I'll force you to comply. Get it done!" Cadence said. Cadence stormed out of the office as she went into hiding in case the nations track Twilight's traces back to her. Twilight sighed as she knew that she shouldn't be doing that. She made train stops to each nation over the next two days under a disguise and a different name and killed each leader in secret. It wasn't that tough as alls she had to do was convince the guards of each person that she needed to meet with each mayor for business and they let her through since she was the princess. She quickly dispatched each leader by poising with poisonous seeds or plants or slitting their throats and once she was done dispatching all of the bodies she contacted Cadence with a letter telling her that she was done. Twilight went back to her room and cried as the guilt of what she had done took her over but then Cadence entered her castle and saw Twilight crying she put her hand on Twilight's shoulder and spoke. "Don't cry Twilight its just business." Cadence said. Twilight nodded and wiped her tears away. Cadence comforted her for a bit and then went back to the Crystal Empire. The leaders were replaced by people that Cadence trusted. Cadence grinned as she passed reforms for Equestria easily as the new leaders that she had picked in secret with out the public or the law knowing agreed with her. Cadence warned Twilight in a letter to never say anything about it or she would regret it and Twilight wrote back saying that she understood. Twilight and Cadence never said anything about it ever again, they would keep what they had done to the leaders a secret and they would keep that secret for later.
