The Chrysi/Cadence Everfree Experience

Cadence adjusted the straps on her small travel bag. Today was the big day. The day her vacation was going to begin. Cadence smiled to herself as she finished the last symbol on her chalk drawing. The long range teleportation spell was almost ready. Just as she was about to begin the enchantment, a knock came from the door to her room. Cadence lifted her head and walked over to her door, being careful not to mess up her circle of inscriptions and symbols made of chalk.

Opening said door revealed Shining Armor on the other side. Standing next to him was a maid holding Flurry Heart. "Hello Cadence," he said looking slightly worried, "I'm just here to see you off."

Cadence raised an eyebrow, she could already tell her husband was going to worry about her while she was gone. "I'm going to be fine," she said.

Shining, looking like she had just read his mind, took a step forward. He wrapped his hands around her and gave her a quick hug. "I know that, its just your track record hasn't been the best lately. It seems like something evil comes a knocking every other month these days."

Cadence smiled as she broke from the hug, "And I have been able to fend them off almost every time. Sure a few times haven't gone as planned but you and I have managed to stay strong no matter what. I can take care of myself just as well."

Cadence took a step back and produced a ball of light in her hand. She quickly twirled it around herself before snapping her fingers and making it vanish with a small poof. "You seem to be forgetting that I am related to Celestia. Raiser of the sun and all powerful ruler of Equestia."

Shining scratched the back of his head looking defeated, "Of course I know that and I know how powerful and resourceful you are. I just really care about you and your safety."

Cadence gave him a reassuring look. "I know you do. But this isn't like I am going on some adventure or something. Its just an outdoor resort. It'll mostly just be me sun bathing, swimming, hiking..."

"Checking out a few nice bodies of passing males and females." Shining added with a small grin.

Cadence stuck out her tongue but quickly returned a small grin of her own. It was no secret that despite being married, it was an open relationship. She was the princess of love after all. So it was no surprise she not only swung both ways but also tended to share an evening with a lover or two. Shining was well aware of this and had long since accepted this. He was still her first choice and the one she decided to have a child with. That meant more to him than anything else.

"Just be sure to give me all the details when you get back, my lovely heart-butt." Shining gave a playful slap to Cadence's rear, right were her crystal heart cutie mark lay.

"Will do my love." Cadence said with a small blush.

Turning towards the maid, Cadence was about to say goodbye to Flurry Heart when she suddenly noticed that Flurry was no longer being held by the maid. The maid seemed to suddenly notice this as well and locked eyes with something just behind Cadence.

Cadence turned around and saw Flurry Heart was currently teleporting all around her room. Cadence let out a small laugh, raised her hand and caught the child with her magic as she teleported right over her teleportation circle. Flurry Heart let off a few kicks in surprise but stopped when she realized it was Cadence holding her in her magic. Cadence flicked her hand towards the maid and floated Flurry back over to her. The maid maid sure to carefully catch Flurry as she came towards her as well as keep a slightly better grip.

Cadence lowered herself until she was at eye level with Flurry, "Make sure not to cause too much chaos while I'm gone, OK?"

Flurry Heart stared back for a moment before giving a slight nod. Cadence gave a slight nod back, "Good girl."

Raising herself back to normal position, she made her way over to the teleportation circle. Careful not to mess anything up as she did so. Even the slightest kick to any of the symbols could cause her to be transported somewhere else. Most likely some place bad.

Once she was in the middle of the circle, she turned towards Shining still standing in the door. She blew him a kiss which Shining pretended to catch. He held onto tightly. She raised her hands and activated the circle. "I'll be back before you know it with plenty of stories to tell."

Shining smiled, "I'm sure you will."

With that, Cadence said her quick incantation and disappeared with a flash.

Shining stayed where he was for a moment before whispering, "Be safe Cadence. I don't know why, but I can't help but feel like something bad just happened."

He glanced down at her teleportation circle for moment, before sighing, "I'm sure it just me being a worried husband though." With that, he turned and shut the door behind him.
