They tried to follow my children. I knew they would. But my children are smart. They know how to evade capture. The secret tunnels and traps around the castle are used to their advantage. They escaped easily.

Discord was stopped, successfully, and with minimal damage to the castle and city. I am proud of my children, for staying out of sight of the six. Soon, time would come for me to help again.


Twilight was pissed.

Her brother, hadn't even told her, that he was getting married, till just now, THE DAY BEFORE HE GOT MARRIED!

And then, it was to some random pony she had never even heard of. Who the hell was MI Amore Cadenza?

Sweet Celestia, she was going to give her brother an ear full when she arrived.

After passing through the shield earlier, she had been curious, but she was still angry that her brother hadn't told her. Walking through Canterlot, she finally was near the palace walls when she saw her brother on the wall. He had just sent out some more guards, so he wasn't busy.

"I have a few words to say to you, big brother." She says angrily. Guards immediately surround her with spears, but she doesn't seem swayed. She is still glaring at her brother with anger. Shining Armor saw her, and says.

"Twily! It's so good to see you again." After he says that, the guards back off from her, and she goes up to her brother.

"Yeah, so good. Not good enough though to come tell me your getting married!" Shining sighs.

Unseen to them, a creature in the shadows slips away.


My first child came to me, and told me what was happening. It would soon be time. My other children have already found Cadence, and have brought her to me. When she saw me, she had fainted, and hasn't woke up.

I had my children prepare, for they were to go out and protect the citizens when the attack started. They were to capture about fifty, and kill the rest. I had given them their orders, and they all screeched an affirmative to me. I had my deathclaw praetorian stay behind, and protect me, and guide Twilight when she arrives.

Everything was ready, now we needed to wait.


Twilight was getting worried. Something wasn't right about this Cadence. She wasn't the same as her old foalsitter. That Cadence had been nice, would have loved the bride's dress, the hors d'oeuvres, and been delighted by the semi childish party Pinkie had planned. Yet she seemed to be disgusted by it all.

Twilight was ready to get to the bottom of this, and she also wanted to talk to Shining that he shouldnt marry her. Something was wrong with her.

She arrived at her brothers house. Knocking on the door, her brother opened it, and seeing her, let her in.

"Hey Twily, looking pretty good now right?" He says, showing off his uniform. But when Twilight turns to him, her eyessad and hurt, he stops, and asks.

"Whats wrong, Twilight?" Twilight sighs, and says.

"Shining, I think your making a big mistake marrying Cad-" but she is cut of by somepony clearing their throat behind her. They both look to see Cadence standing at the door to the bedroom.

She sure has a way of sneaking up on ponies." Twilight mutters to herself as Cadence comes down the steps. Looking between the two, she says.

"I'd like to speak to my fiance. Alone." She then turns away. Shining chuckles, then says to Twilight.

"Better go see what she wants." And follows after her.

The two head into a room, and start arguing. Twilight can't make it all out, so she decides to get closer to find out.

When she does, she peaks through the cracked open door, and hears Cadence saying.

"I thought I told you not to wear that." Shining nods.

"You did, but it's my favorite uniform, and I want to look my best. So, I decided to wear it." Cadence looked angry.

"Are you disagreeing with me?" She says. Shining Armor looks angry as well.

"Yeah, I guess I am." He says, before his horn gives out a spark of magic, and he winces. Cadence just gets a baby face on, and looks at Shining.

"Aw, is your head hurting. Here, let me make it better." She says, and charges her horn with a green magic, before enveloping his head in it.

When she does, Shining Armors eyes turn a sick green color, and they start to roll around in his head. Soon, Cadence let's up, and Shining stands up. His eyes are still green, and Cadence laughs.

"Now, what are you going to do?" She says.

"Listen to you, always." He replies. Cadence laughs.

"Good. Go ahead and wear the uniform, I don't care."She says, and they walk out the door, to see Twilight running away out the front door.


Reaching the castle, Twilight runs to the room she and her friends are staying in, she opens the door, but before she can talk, she sees her friends wearing dresses. Applejack sees her and waves, an Fluttershy comes over.

"Aren't they wonderful. We are going to be Mi Amore Cadenzas new bridesmaids." Twilight is baffled.

"But what happened to her old bridesmaids?" She says. Applejack answers wimsically.

"I don't know, but she said she would love love love, for us to be her bridesmaids. You know, since we have been doing so much for her lately. And you said all those things about her." She says, before the whole room erupted once again into how nice it would be to be the bridesmaids.

Twilight just turns around, and walks out.

"I guess I am alone in this." She says, walking away.


My child who was watching the six came back, and told me something about missing bridesmaids, and I remembered. The bridesmaids were in the crystal caverns under Chrysalis spell.

I sent the drone to look for them, and to bring them here. It does so, and bout an hour later, it returns with them. Webbing them up and then knocking them out, I tell it to go watch once more, and when Twilight is sent into the caverns, to go prepare to defend the ponies.


The next day, Twilight had had it. She would tell everypony the truth, that Cadence was evil. Then she'd explain wht, and they would see what she meant. She knew they would come around to understanding why she thought this was wrong. She arrives at the throne room just as she heard Shining Armor say.

"Hey, has anypony seen Twilight today?"

Twilight took a breath to steady herself, and then threw the doors to the throne room open with her magic.

"I'm here. And I am not going to stand next to her. And neither should you."

Shining looks nervous, and turns to Cadence.

"I don't know why she is like this." Cadence scoffs.

"Maybe we should ignore her." She says with a annoyed tone. Twilight growls.

"You have to listen to me." She says. Her friends try to stop her, asking if she isn't feeling well and what not. Twilight dodges them all, and steps forward.

"I have something to say,"she says, and points to Cadence. "She is evil!"

Everypony gasps, including the guard. Twilight explains.

"She's been horrible to my friends," she teleports behind Cadence, and starts to back her up to a wall, " she has obviously done something to the bridesmaids, and she put a spell on my brother that hypnotized him into doing what she wants him to do." She says, now having Cadence against a wall. Cadence starts crying.

"Why are you doing this to me?" She crys, as she turns to run out the throne room. Twilight smiles, watching her go.

"Because your evil." Cadence runs out the room, and Twilight teleports to the door.

"Because your evil, and if I don't stop you, then your going to ruin my brothers life." She yells at the fleeing Cadence. Turning around into the room, she stops when she sees her brother pissed at her, standing behind her.

"You know that spell that, so called, hypnotized me? Well, ever since I put up my protection spell, I have been having horrible migraines. That wasn't a hypnotizing spell, it was to help with the pain. The hypnotization, is probably me having a been semi doors up because of the spell. And the reason she has been so rude, is probably because I haven't been able to do one fucking thing to help her, since I put up the barrier, and have been trying to find the threat to Canterlot and our wedding. And the bridesmaids, she felt it would be nicer to your friends, since she was being so harsh, to make them the bridesmaids, to pay them back for helping her. And now, my little sister comes in, and starts accusing her of things, that aren't even true, and run her off crying."

Through that whole speach, Shinings voice grew from angry quite, to angry yelling. Twilight was shrinking away from her brother, and gaping at what he said. He took apart her argument, because they were already explainable.

"If you'll excuse me, I need to go comfort my bride. And forget about being best mare. Hell, if I were you, I wouldn't bother coming to the wedding at all." Shiningnthen leaves the room.

After a moment, her friends do too, not looking at Twilight. After them, Celestia starts to leave as well. Before she goes, she stops by Twilight. Twilight looks up at her mentor.

"I- I thought-" but Celestia cuts her off with a hoof.
"You have a lot to think about." She says, before leaving. The guards dip out and shut the door behind them, and Twilight is left alone, crying.

"Maybe I was being overprotective." She says through her sobs. "I ruined everything for him, and I ruined everything for Cadence." She sobs as she walks over to the steps to the throne, and when walking up, stumbles, falling over. Sobbing even more, she just sits there on the steps.

"What have I done?" She says, and then starts crying some more.

After about three minutes, she felt a hoof gently rubbing the back of her head, and looks up. She sees Cadence, standing there with an understanding smile, looking at her warmly. Twilight hiccups, and says.

"I'm sorry." Cadence just looks on, but then her eyes flash green, and her smile warps into a wicked grin as her horn alights with a green glow.

"You will be." Before setting a green ring of fire around her, that covers her in a bubble. It then slowly starts to sink into the floor, Twilight strapped inside screaming, as Cadence turns and starts to walk away.
