My Little Pony Elder Scrolls: Liberation of the Kingdom

At his house, which had two guards posted outside the front door, Shining Armor was trying on the uniform he was planning to wear at the wedding when he heard a knocking at his door. He answered it to find his sister, Twilight, waiting outside with a concerned expression on her face.

“Twily!” Shining Armor exclaimed with excitement and let her in. “Your big brother’s looking pretty good, don’t you think?” He asked proudly showing off his uniform. But all he got was a very concerned look from her. “Huh. Everything okay?”

“We need to talk,” Twilight began. “I think you’re making a big-” But she was interrupted by the sound of someone clearing her throat. She turned around to find Cadance with an impatient look on her face.

“Oh, uh, hi, sweetie,” Shining Armor greeted his bride-to-be.

“She sure has a way of sneaking up on people,” Twilight mutter bitterly under her breath.

“Could I speak to you for a moment, dear?” Cadance asked her future husband leading him into another room.

“Better see what she wants,” Shining nudged his sister playfully and followed his bride. The door closed slightly behind them. Twilight heard the sound of arguing on the other side of the door so she quietly crept up and looked through the crack to see what was going on.

“I thought I made it perfectly clear I didn’t want you to wear that,” Cadance said pointing at Shining Armor’s uniform.

“This was my favorite uncle’s,” Shining replied.

“And?” Cadance responded uncaring.

“And I think I should wear it.”

“Are you disagreeing with me?” she asked angrily.

“I guess I am- Ah!” Shining defiantly declared, but then felt his head throbbing.

“Oh, dear. Are you getting another one of your headaches?” Cadance asked, then her horn started glowing green and a beam of green magic shot at Shining Armor’s head making his eyes spin. “Feeling better?” Shining nodded his head ‘yes’, but his eyes were now a greenish color.

“She isn’t just unpleasant and rude. She’s downright evil!” Twilight said horrified and took off running out the door.

“Twilight!” Shining Armor called to her coming out of the room. But it was too late, she was gone.

“Let her go,” Cadance said affectionately cuddling her future husband.

“Huh. It seemed like she had something else she wanted to tell me.”

Meanwhile, Princess Luna was still at her post watching over the castle when she noticed Twilight running through the castle yard. “Who goes there? Stay indoors, Twilight Sparkle.”

Twilight ran till she reached the room Rarity was staying at and burst the door open. “Shining Armor’s in real trouble! You have to help-” She frantically tried to tell them but she saw that they were all chattering happily over the new dresses they were wearing. “Dresses? What are you-?”

“Can you believe it?” Fluttershy excitedly told her while admiring her dress. “We’re gonna be Princess Mi Amore Cadenza’s new bridesmaids!”

“New bridesmaids? What happened to her old bridesmaids?”

“She didn’t say,” Applejack said uncaringly. “But she did tell us that she would love-love-love it if we’d fill in for them.”

“Seeing as we’ve been working so hard and everything,” Rarity added.

“And you had your doubts about her,” AJ said teasingly to Twilight.

“Told you she was an absolute gem!” Rarity added again. Twilight was at a complete loss for words.

“I see everypony is getting pretty excited,” Came a voice from behind Twilight which was revealed to be Prince Jewelius accompanied be his assistant, Vivian. They both entered the room. “I must say, you all look lovely in your dresses.”

“We’re the new bridesmaids!” Pinkie happily announced.

“Really?” Jewelius asked suspiciously while putting on a happy façade. “I thought my cousin had already chosen her bridesmaids,” He looked to Twilight who gave him a disappointed expression which told him what he needed to know. “I see. Are you all sure this isn’t anything to be concerned about? Maybe we should all calm down and perhaps look into the matter?”

“Oh, don’t worry, Your Highness,” Rainbow Dash said. “With that shield spell, what could possibly go wrong?”

“Besides, who would possibly want to do anything that could ruin such a glorious event like the wedding of the wonderful Princess Mi Amore Cadenza?” Rarity said happily.

Everypony, including Twilight, failed to notice for a split second an angry glare form on the prince’s face.

“You sure this is what I should wear?” Rainbow asked looking over her dress. “Doesn’t seem all that aerodynamic.”

“Hmm. I’ll see what I can do,” Rarity said leading her and the others into another room leaving Twilight, Jewelius, and Vivian outside by themselves.

Twilight walked out of the room very disappointed.

“Sorry, Twilight,” Jewelius said. “See what I mean?”

“It’s okay, you tried your best,” Twilight assured him. “Looks like I really am on my own.”

“Twilight, I hope you aren’t thinking of doing anything… drastic,” Jewelius nervously warned her. “Be careful who you think you can trust. I fear someponies may not be what they seem.”

“Don’t worry,” Twilight assured him. “I’ve been taught by your aunt. I know what I must do.” Then she left leaving just Jewelius and Vivian.

“What do you make of this, Your Highness?” Vivian asked her master.

“I think we may need to make some alterations,” The prince answered concernedly.
