Fallen to the dark side (Edited)

Twilight Sparkle watched her brother leave the room where the wedding rehearsal would be. She felt sad, Twilight hoped her brother would take her words seriously, but the unicorn was very wrong. She glanced back to where her friends and Spike were sadly.

Twilight’s friends were still shocked, but the only one who didn’t look shocked anymore was Applejack. “Let’s go, guys”

Twilight’s friends looked at Applejack. “Let’s comfort the princess”

Twilight Sparkle watched her friends leave unhappy. She was very sad, but she was sadder to see Spike accompanying the five mares. She felt betrayed. Did her friends lie to her all this time?

Twilight Sparkle realized that Celestia was also leaving, but with an unhappy face. She tried to explain her reasons, but Celestia responded very harshly. “You have a lot to think about”

Tears came from Twilight’s eyes after she heard what her mentor told her. Why? Why didn’t her mentor believe her? She thought Celestia would always believe her.

Twilight Sparkle watched the two guards leave the room and leave the unicorn alone. She hit a hoof on the head. “How could I be so childish?!”

Twilight Sparkle looked annoyed as she spoke the phrase, but after she had finished speaking, her anger was replaced with sadness. She ducked her head before going up the stairs to cry. Does everypony hate her now? Just thinking about it made her want to cry even more.

Twilight remembered when she entered the rehearsal room with an unhappy expression and accused her ex-foalsitter without proof. She should have said it without being annoyed. Twilight was sure that if she had spoken more calmly, perhaps her friends, mentor, and brother would believe her.

But she began to remember what her brother said. Shining Armor told her that Cadence was stressed. Was it really stress or was she right? She didn’t even know anymore. The only thing Twilight wanted to do now is go far away from Equestria and never be seen again by her friends, mentor and brother.

When she arrived on the stairs, Twilight lay down to cry. Twilight wanted to have a way to prove to the others that she is right.

“I thought my friends would listen to me after that accident with Smarty Pants.” Twilight Sparkle said bitterly. “But it looks like I was wrong.”

Twilight Sparkle began to remember when her friends went to explain to Celestia that it wasn’t her fault but their own. That night, she was surprised. And Twilight Sparkle can remember that her friends seemed to speak as if they had learned a friendship lesson. Did they forget or lie to her? If her friends lied to her, she was starting to feel angry. Twilight knew she shouldn’t feel it from her friends, but she felt it.

Suddenly, a light blue mist came through the hole in the door that Twilight was in and smiled as it saw the unicorn crying alone. The fog approached.

Twilight Sparkle couldn’t stop crying. Her tears wet her cheek. Twilight felt something touching her, but as she was crying, the unicorn didn’t seem to care so much. It stroked the unicorn’s mane.

”There, there, Twilight. Don’t Cry.”

Twilight Sparkle heard the voice and tried to look at the figure. But from crying so much, her vision blurred. She rubbed her eyes with a hoof before blinking and her vision returned to normal. Seeing the figure, she recognized who it was. “N-Nightmare?!”

Nightmare seemed happier for the unicorn to recognize her.

”You know my name? How interesting…”

“And how wouldn’t I recognize?” asked Twilight Sparkle. “It was you who used Luna to cause eternal night.”

”Well, you’re right. But it was she who wanted her night to be enjoyed. I just found a way for her wish to come true.”

“But why are you here?” asked Twilight Sparkle. “Shouldn’t the Elements of Harmony have destroyed you?”

“Twilight, when you and your friends used the Elements of Harmony, you just made me separate from Luna. I am an entity that is attracted to negative feelings.”

Twilight Sparkle looked scared. What did she feel that attracted Nightmare? “Did you know what I was feeling?”

”Yes, Twilight. Before I came here, I was at the Castle of the Two Sisters. When I felt negative feelings in Canterlot, I went to see what was going on.”

“But how did you know it was me?” asked Twilight Sparkle.

“I’m attracted to a wave of negative emotions, Twilight. The closer I get to the place that has negative emotions, the easier it will be for me to be in one place.”

Twilight Sparkle wanted to know something. “But do you only appear in public places or only in places where a pony is alone?”

”I only appear in places where a pony is alone, Twilight.”

“But I don’t understand,” said Twilight Sparkle. “Why did you come to me? I know you were attracted to negative feelings from me, but what do you want from me?”

”Simple, Twilight. I have an offer for you.”

“What offer?” asked Twilight Sparkle.

“I’m feeling your feelings, Twilight. You’re feeling sad, angry, and betrayed by your friends, your dear mentor, your dragon, and your brother.”

Twilight Sparkle felt sad to feel it. But she shouldn’t feel that way. It was the fault of her friends, mentor, Spike, and her brother who didn’t listen to her for their warnings.

Nightmare felt Twilight’s sadness and hugged her.

“Why this sadness, my little pony?”

“I feel guilty about what I’m feeling,” Twilight replied.

”What are you feeling, Twilight?”

“I’m feeling sad, angry and betrayed that no one has heard my warnings about Cadence being evil,” Twilight replied.

Nightmare smiled.

”Twilight, there’s nothing wrong with feeling these negative feelings. Everypony feels these feelings from time to time.”

Twilight Sparkle looked a little surprised, but still had sadness on her face. “Really, Nightmare?”

”Really, Twilight.”

Twilight Sparkle didn’t look as sad as before. But remembering what her friends, Spike, her mentor, and her brother did made her cry again.

Nightmare realized that the sadness of Twilight has returned.

“Why are you crying again, Twilight?”

“I feel like everypony has gone against me and they don’t want to know about me anymore,” Twilight replied.

”Twilight, what if I told you there is a way for you to show your friends how sad, angry and betrayed you are?”

Twilight Sparkle looked happy. “Really? Which is?”

”Let me take control of your body.”

The unicorn was startled. “What? Never!!”

”And why not, Twilight?”

“You’ll hurt my friends, my brother, Spike and the princess,” replied Twilight Sparkle.

Twilight, I don’t mean to hurt anypony you like.

“But what if you’re lying?” asked Twilight Sparkle.

”I’m not lying, Twilight. You can trust me.”

Twilight Sparkle seemed uncertain whether or not to accept this offer. “Really?”

”Yes, Twilight. Come on, accept it. With you by my side, we will show them what it means to feel betrayed.”

“But I don’t want to betray them, Nightmare,” said Twilight Sparkle.

”You will not betray them, Twilight. I will only show them your frustration before them.”

Twilight began to wonder whether or not to accept.

“So, Twilight? You accept?”

Twilight Sparkle looked at Nightmare. “Ok, Nightmare. I accept”

Nightmare went to the Twilight Horn to enter. Twilight’s pupils turned into light purple dragon slits. She began to squirm a lot. When Nightmare completely entered the horn, the form of Twilight began to change. The color of the lavender fur turned black, but it wasn’t so strong black. The outline of the body was a dark purple. The dark blue part of her mane changed to a light purple, the purple streak turned a dark purple and the pink streak went to a hot pink. Her Cutie Mark was the same, but in the pink star she had a slit through the star. In the slit it had two six-pointed stars, one larger and one smaller. And lastly, the mane and tail glowed.

“Muahahahahahahahaha! At last! I successfully possessed the bearer of the Element of Magic. And now, everypony will pay for not listening to me!”

Nightmare Sparkle Vs Queen Chrysalis (Rewriten)

It was already wedding day, Celestia had already begun the ceremony. The entrance doors opened revealing Cadence, who had a mischievous smile, but no one seemed to notice or care about that. Rarity looked like she was going to cry, but then she took a handkerchief and wiped her tears away. While Applejack took her hat and put it on while looking sideways. As Cadence climbed the stairs, she and Shining Armor looked at each other. But what no one noticed, except Cadence, was that Shining Armor’s eyes were green. Celestia began to speak, “We are here at this ceremony to bring these two ponies together. If any pony goes against these ponies getting together, talk now or shut up forever.”

“I’m against!”

Everypony looked and saw a black unicorn with ethereal mane. The unicorn didn’t seem happy about it. Everypony was surprised and scared. But who were most scared were the friends of Twilight, Cadence, Spike and Celestia, because they recognized who this unicorn was.

“Twilight?” asked Celestia. “Is that you?”

“Twilight? I’m… Nightmare Sparkle!” said Nightmare Sparkle.

Everypony in the room was surprised and frightened by this revelation.

Nightmare Sparkle slowly approached Cadence as she smiled. Cadence looked scared.

“B-back off, Twilight!” cried Cadence, before casting her magic. But Twilight made a shield to protect herself as she continued walking.

When Cadence stopped casting the magic, Twilight took off her shield to speak. “It’s no use, Cadence. You will not stop me. That is, if I should call you by that name.”

Cadence was nervous. To her surprise, the mares blocked the passage of Nightmare Sparkle. “If you want the princess, you have to go through the five of us.”

Nightmare Sparkle shook her head as she smiled. “You guys are such idiots,” she charged her magic before casting on the five mares. But to her misfortune, they jumped away.

“Twilight, what the hell happened to you?” asked Applejack.

Nightmare Sparkle laughed before answering and putting a hoof on her cheek. “Oh? Looks like you have a poor memory. ”

“What are you talking about, Twilight?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“Don’t you remember?” asked Nightmare Sparkle. “You guys ignored me when i said Cadence was evil”

“Twilight, but you were accusing without evidence!” shouted Rainbow Dash.

“Ah-ah. I’m not done talking yet,” said Nightmare Sparkle. Rainbow Dash became more irritated.

“And do you know what happened after I was left alone, ponies?” asked Nightmare Sparkle.

No one answered.

“I cried, you fools!” shouted Nightmare Sparkle. She started walking again, only now in an irritated manner and went to Celestia, who was saddened by what Nightmare Sparkle said.

Nightmare Sparkle went to Celestia and put a hoof on the princess’s chin. “And Celestia, you ignored me when I needed you most! Do you know what happened next?”

Celestia was crying with guilt. She didn’t want to answer Nightmare Sparkle’s question.

“Nightmare came and comforted me,” replied Nightmare Sparkle.

“This ... This is very nice of her,” said Fluttershy with a smile.

Nightmare Sparkle removed the hull from Celestia’s chin, looked at Fluttershy and lowered himself to Fluttershy’s level. “Do you think she did just that? She comforted me and gave me an offer.”

Celestia was concerned. This thing couldn’t be what she thought it was.

“She gave me the offer to take my body and I accepted,” said Nightmare Sparkle, before getting up and laughing. “And you will never see my weak self again. The same unicorn who defeated Nightmare.”

“Nightmare,” Celestia recognized who was in Twilight’s body.

Nightmare Sparkle smiled. “I see that you still remember her, Celestia. Ready for your retirement? ”

“Please, Twilight!” pleaded Celestia, through tears. “Stop this. I’m so sorry.”

“Apologize?” asked Nightmare Sparkle. “Did you forget what you said to me?”

Celestia remembered what she said and made her cry. She didn’t know why she spoke that way to her student. Why didn’t she say it more calmly? Now, she lost her student to Nightmare. She had already lost Luna. Now, she lost Twilight Sparkle to Nightmare.

“Twilight, can you hear us?” asked Applejack. “Fight it!”

Nightmare Sparkle looked at Applejack. “I will not fight this. Nightmare is in my body and I am the one controlling my movements.”

Rainbow Dash flew over to Nightmare Sparkle. “How could you?! Stop it, Twilight!”

“Never!” screamed Nightmare Sparkle before casting damage magic at Rainbow, but the pegasus deflected flying,

Nightmare Sparkle looked a little annoyed that she hadn’t managed to hit Rainbow Dash. But she was calm again and looked at Cadence with a smile. “I see that you’re very quiet, Cadence. Do you feel uncomfortable now that I’m a new pony?”

Cadence was nervous. She didn’t know what to say. “Are you really Cadence? Or is it a Changeling?”

Cadence looked nervous at the last sentence. “I am not a Changeling, Twilight. Where did this idea come from?”

“Do you know who you’re talking to, Cadence?” asked Nightmare Sparkle. “You aren't talking to Twilight. You're talking to the queen of nightmares, Nightmare Sparkle.”

Nightmare Sparkle carried her magic. Cadence took a few steps back, while Nightmare Sparkle walked over to her.

“Please, Twilight!” cried Cadence. “Don't do it!”

But to no avail, Nightmare Sparkle used her magic on Cadence. Everypony was surprised. But Nightmare Sparkle didn’t kill Cadence, she just took off her disguise. When she was finished, Nightmare Sparkle went to the creature.

Chrysalis opened ber eyes. She was no longer scared and started to laugh. “You're right. As queen of the Changelings, it is my duty to find love for my subjects. And Equestria has more love than anywhere I have ever met! And my subjects and I will dominate all Equestria! ”

Nightmare Sparkle stopped walking. “Queen Chrysalis, you aren't going to dominate Canterlot and all Equestria. That will be my role that I will play.”

Nightmare Sparkle charged its magic before casting on Queen Chrysalis, but the queen also cast magic. The two spells were on, fighting to gain control. Although Chrysalis has the power of Shining Armor’s love, that wasn't enough for her to win. Nightmare Sparkle managed to win with the force of hatred. Chrysalis was on the floor, stunned. Nightmare Sparkle caught Chrysalis with her magic. “Now, answer me a question: Where is the real Cadence?”

Chrysalis opened her eyes. “In… In the crystal cave….”

Nightmare Sparkle threw Chrysalis to the ground before using her magic and casting it to the moon.

The Changelings who struck the shield saw Chrysalis being thrown to the moon, they stopped what they were doing to follow their queen.

Nightmare Sparkle looked back at the audience ponies. “I hope you are all ready for me to be the queen of Equestria. Because you will all pay for not listening to me and I will not be a benevolent ruler!”

Twilight’s friends were surprised by the words of Nightmare Sparkle. They were very sorry they didn’t hear Twilight. Thanks to their negligences, they lose Twilight. Celestia didn’t know what to do to get her beloved student back. Without Twilight, the Elements of Harmony wouldn’t work. And now? But until she remembered what Chrysalis said: Chrysalis said the real Cadence was in the crystal mines.

Nightmare Sparkle stopped laughing. “Well, I’m going. I have a castle to decorate in Everfree Forest and when I return, I will have a conversation with Luna.”

Nightmare Sparkle realized that she had no wings and wasn’t an alicorn. She decided to walk. As Nightmare Sparkle left the room, she closed the door.

Twilight’s friends were very sad. But the saddest things were Spike. Spike was crying, he lost the pony in which he saw as a mother.

Applejack looked at Celestia. “And now, princess? What do we do?”

“Let’s save Cadence,” replied Celestia. “Chrysalis has said Cadence was in the Crystal Cave.”

“But what if she’s lying, princess?” asked Applejack.

“Applejack, I’m sure she’s not lying,” said Celestia. “Now who will come with me?”

Who answered in unison were Spike and friends of Twilight. “Me! Me!”

Rescuing Cadence (Edited)

Cadence felt suffocated within the crystal walls. She wondered if anypony would rescue her. She wondered if Chrysalis had mastered Equestria. If so, could Celestia prevent it? She hoped so. Suddenly, she heard hoofbeats and two voices in the background.

“Princess, don’t you think we should break these crystal walls?”

“But darling, they are so beautiful”

“Rarity, stop finding it all cute for a second. We have to rescue Princess Cadence and save Twilight from Nightmare”

Cadence was surprised by the last three words and was worried. Was Twilight all right? What happened to the unicorn? She needed to ask her aunt about this. But first, Cadence had to find a way for them to know she was behind a crystal wall. She started hitting the wall with a hoof.

In the background Celestia, Spike, and the mares heard the sound of something hitting a wall.

“Where the hell does this noise come from?” asked Applejack.

“Is there a monster here?” asked Fluttershy with fear.

“Fluttershy, stop being fearful,” said Rainbow Dash. “There are no monsters in caves.”

“But what if there is a crystal dragon that takes care of this cave?” asked Fluttershy.

Rainbow Dash hit both front hooves in the face. “Please, Fluttershy. There are no crystal dragons!”

Fluttershy looked at Rainbow. “But what if they exist?”

“Please, pony. Stop fighting,” said Celestia. “Let’s check where that sound comes from.”

“Sorry, princess,” said Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy in unison, now regretful.

They walked again as they looked around for where they saw the sound. But the sound was a little far from them.

Rainbow Dash had an idea. “Can I fly to where the sound could possibly be?”

“No, Rainbow,” replied Applejack. “We are a team and we will be together”

Rainbow Dash was grumpy. “Fine”

Nightmare Sparkle finally arrived at Two Sisters Castle and began to look around. “Hm. This castle isn’t decorated in the way I like it.”

Nightmare Sparkle used her magic and made the castle style change. The walls changed to a lavender color, the floor with a light blue carpet, the two thrones they had in the room were replaced by a single lavender throne. On top of the throne had the design of a six-pointed star beside it. Beside the throne, were two pink tapestries with purple stars. When she was done, she looked around the room and smiled. “Now the throne room is worthy of a queen.”

“The sound is louder, ponies,” said Applejack.

Pinkie Pie put an ear to a crystal and realized it was very high and looked at her friends, Spike and Celestia. “Girls, I think Cadence is here.”

Celestia carried her magic. “Get behind me. I’ll use my magic to break the crystal.”

The magic went to the crystal and broke. The ponies and the dragon smiled when they saw Cadence. Cadence realized she was released and rose from the floor. “Thank you for saving me. Chrysalis had teleported me down here.”

“It was nothing, Princess Cadence,” said Applejack.

“How are things up there?” asked Cadence. “Chrysalis dominated Equestria with her changelings army?”

“No, Cadence,” replied Celestia. “Twilight saved Equestria before the Changelings could break the shield.”

Cadence smiled with relief. But she realized that Twilight wasn’t with them. “Where’s Twilight? Where is she?”

Everypony except Cadence was concerned. How would they explain that Twilight left Nightmare owns her body? Who spoke first was Applejack. “About Twilight, Cadence… She… Let’s say…”

“.... Nightmare is in the body of Twilight!” finished Spike. Applejack looked at Spike unhappy.

Cadence was worried. “But why? What happened?”

Now they didn’t know how they would explain it. “Well… Twilight Sparkle came to us and said the fake Cadence was evil.”

“And you believed her, right?” asked Cadence.

Applejack was unsure. She knew Cadence wouldn’t be happy. “No, Cadence. Because Twilight was accusing her without proof.”

Cadence looked at Celestia. “And you, aunt? You believed her, right?”

Celestia felt like crying. “No, Cadence.”

Cadence fought to not be annoyed. “But why not?”

“Because as Shining Armor said, he told us that you were like that because of stress and we believe it,” replied Celestia.

“But Aunt, I rarely get stressed,” said Cadence. “You know me very well.”

“I know, Cadence,” Celestia was crying, but wasn’t directed at Cadence. “But I thought you would be stressed. And now, because I didn’t listen to my student, I lost her for the Nightmare in the same way I lost Luna!”

Cadence approached Celestia with a smile. “Don’t cry, Aunt. We will save her.”

Celestia looked up for Cadence. “But how? The Elements of Harmony only work if Twilight is with her friends”

“Don’t worry, Celestia,” said Cadence. “We’ll find a way to save her.”

“I hope so, Cadence,” said Celestia.

“Do you know where the cave exit is?” asked Cadence.

“Yes, Cadence,” replied Celestia. “Just keep going walking.”

They started walking. Cadence decided to ask. “And Shining Armor? He is fine?”

Celestia looked at Cadence. “Well, he’s not hurt.”

Cadence smiled. “That’s nice. But did Chrysalis do anything else?”

“Well Cadence, let’s say Chrysalis hypnotized her future husband to feed on his love,” replied Pinkie Pie.

Cadence was frightened and worried. “My Fausto! Do you know where he is?”

“Yes, Cadence,” replied Celestia. “He’s where the wedding was going to be.”

“Phew,” said Cadence. “That’s good”

Arriving in Canterlot, they opened the door to the wedding and saw Shining Armor standing still. Cadence looked worried for her love. “Shining Armor!” she rushed over to Shining Armor. The others just watched Cadence.

When Cadence reached Shining Armor she said, “Shining, talk to me. Please.”

But Shining Armor didn’t answer. Cadence felt tears before embracing him. What Cadence didn’t notice was that a heart came out of her horn and flew into Shining’s face before it burst. Shining squinted for a few seconds before shaking his head. “W-what happened ...?”

Cadence smiled before hugging him. Shining Armor felt himself being hugged and looked at Cadence. “Cadence, what happened?”

“Chrysalis had disguised herself as me to feed on the love you feel for me. She and her Changeling subjects tried to invade and conquer Canterlot and then, the rest of Equestria.” Cadence replied.

Shining Armor was concerned. “And where is she?”

“Twilight managed to defeat her and now the queen is on the moon,” replied Cadence.

Shining Armor looked at the mares, Spike and Celestia but realized that Twilight wasn’t with them. “Where’s Twilight?”

All except Shining Armor and Cadence were concerned. They bit their lips as they looked to the right.

Shining Armor noted the concern and became concerned. “She’s fine? What happened? What happened to her?”

They didn’t know how they were going to explain to Shining Armor. Who decided to answer was Applejack. “Shining Armor, by our fault, Twilight was… well… let’s say… she felt so many negative emotions that Nightmare saw an opportunity to possess our friend’s body.”

Shining Armor was scared. “But why, Applejack? What made her feel negative emotions?”

“Do you remember when you got mad at Twilight after she said ‘Cadence’ was mean?” asked Applejack.

“Yes, I remember,” answered Shining Armor. “Why?”

“Let’s say Twilight Sparkle was saddened by what you said,” Applejack replied.

Shining Armor was surprised. He didn’t want his sister to cry. “I didn’t want to make my sister cry. Why did I do it?”

“Maybe the magic Chrysalis used on you did it,” suggested Cadence.

“That could be it, Cadence,” said Shining Armor. “But where would she be now?”

“Nightmare Sparkle said that she went to the Castle of the Two Sisters to decorate,” replied Celestia, “when she returns, Nightmare Sparkle would have a conversation with Luna.”

“We need to warn Luna!” shouted Applejack. “She’s in danger!”

Captured [Rewritten]

Luna watched if Canterlot was safe in a tower. She couldn’t help noticing that the Changelings that were hitting the shield left. Well, that was a good thing. Luna couldn’t help but notice before she saw something flying from the window. She didn’t know what it was. But Luna knew it was a creature that tried to invade. Whoever threw the creature away did a good job, she even intended to please that it did. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a door opening and closing. She looked back and saw her sister, Spike, friends of Twilight, Cadence and Shining Armor. “Sister? Friends? Cadence? Shining? What happened?”

“Sister, you’re in danger,” replied Celestia.

Luna was confused and worried at the same time. “Me? In danger? But what am I in danger of?”

“It’s Nightmare Sparkle, Luna,” replied Celestia. “She went to Castle of the Two Sisters to decorate it, and then would come to you.”

Luna was confused. “Wait. Who is Nightmare Sparkle?”

“Nightmare Sparkle is Nightmare in Twilight’s body,” replied Celestia. “It’s kind of hard to explain.”

“But how did Twilight become that?” asked Luna. “What made her accept for Nightmare to take control of her body?”

Celestia got nervous. “It’s our fault, Luna”

“What do you mean it’s from all of you, Sister?” asked Luna.

“In the rehearsal, Twilight accused ‘Cadence’ of being evil just because she was acting differently,” Celestia replied.

Luna found it odd that Cadence was acting weird. “And you believed in her?”

“No, Luna. I was taken by her brother’s words.” Celestia was crying now.

“Sister, Twilight is your student,” said Luna. “If Twilight said that, it was because she felt something wasn’t right.”

“I know, Luna,” Celestia kept crying. “But I thought Cadence was like that because of stress.”

“Sister, don’t blame yourself,” said Luna. “You made a mistake, that’s all.”

“But it was my mistake that gave Nightmare the opportunity to take control of Twilight’s body,” said Celestia.

“But what do you want me to do, sister?” asked Luna. She wanted to do something to save her friend.

Celestia didn’t know what to do. “I don’t know, Luna. We came here before Nightmare Sparkle to warn you that she would come here to possibly talk to you.”

“I know that already, Sister,” said Luna. “But you want me to do what?”

Suddenly, they heard the sound of a door opening. Everyone looked at the door and saw Nightmare Sparkle. Nightmare Sparkle smiled when she saw Luna and approached. “Hi, Luna.”

“Twilight?” asked Luna. “Is that you?”

“I’m not Twilight,” said Nightmare Sparkle. “I am Nightmare Sparkle!”

“Twilight, you have to fight it,” said Luna.

“You’re so naive, Luna,” said Nightmare Sparkle. “Before Nightmare took control of your body, you resisted it for a long time. You denied and denied the chances that she could use your body. I was the opposite of you. I accepted right away, although i seemed uncertain at first she managed to convince me until fast, and I am in control of my body. ”

“You will stop now, Twilight. Or I will ... ” Luna was already prepared for her magic.

“Or what? Will you attack me?” asked Nightmare Sparkle. “Me and Nightmare are the same. If you hurt Nightmare, you will be hurting me too.”

Nightmare Sparkle’s words made Luna’s courage fade. She stopped using her magic. She didn’t want to hurt her first friend. What would Twilight think of her?

“Luna, don’t listen to what she says!” said Applejack.

“Yeah, Luna. Twilight doesn’t know who she is messing with!” agreed Rainbow Dash.

Nightmare Sparkle smiled before laughing and saying, “Do you think I don’t know? Of course I know. You’re my ‘friends’ that tried to stop Nightmare Moon from causing eternal night. The difference is that Nightmare was in Luna’s body and now, she is in my body and I am no longer with all of you.”

Rainbow flew up to Nightmare Sparkle. “You aren’t going to do any harm to Equestria. We will stop you.”

“Do you think I won’t be ready?” asked Nightmare Sparkle. “There’s an army of Nightmare forces on the moon. Only they are on the moon now, but that doesn’t stop me from calling them to bring them to Equestria.”

“Are you by any chance afraid of losing?” asked Rainbow Dash. “Because we will find a way to stop you. We were your friends before, but if you want to play the villain, then that’s how it will be.”

“How many times do I have to say it?” asked Nightmare Sparkle, already starting to get impatient with the pegasus. “How are you going to use the Elements of Harmony without me? I represent the strongest and rarest element of all.”

Rainbow Dash remembered that, but remained confident. She didn’t let Nightmare Sparkle shake her.

Nightmare Sparkle laughed at the pegasus reaction. “What happened? Can’t you accept the truth that you’ll never see my weak and childish side again?”

Rainbow Dash was annoyed and punched Nightmare Sparkle in the cheek, resulting in a blush. Nightmare Sparkle screamed before placing the right front hoof on the cheek. Nightmare Sparkle looked irritably at Rainbow Dash, the pegasus realized it did and smiled nervously. “That hurt, you know?”

“Er ... I’m sorry,” said Rainbow Dash.

Nightmare Sparkle, still in a bad mood, took the hoof off her cheek, took Rainbow Dash and used her magic. Everyone had to close and cover their eyes. When the glow stopped, they stopped covering and opened their eyes. They were surprised. Rainbow Dash is gone.

“What did you do with Dashie, Twilight?” asked Pinkie Pie in an unhappy way.

“I put her in the castle dungeons, Pinkie Pie,” replied Nightmare Sparkle.

“Get her out of the dungeon, Twilight!” shouted Pinkie Pie.

“I’m not going to do that,” said Nightmare Sparkle. “You will all go to the dungeons.”

Nightmare Sparkle carried her magic and made a glow occur. Everyone in the room had to close their eyes because the brightness was so strong. When the glow disappeared, the mares, princesses and Shining Armor were no longer in place. Nightmare Sparkle smiled before walking again. “Now, I must return to my castle.”

Hope almost lost [Rewritten]

In the dungeons of Nightmare Sparkle Castle, each was teleported to a cage. No one was together at the cage, everypony and the dragon were apart. They couldn’t save Twilight from Nightmare. Did they really fail or was there still a chance of Twilight being saved? But how would they save her? Without Twilight, the Elements of Harmony wouldn’t work.

“She arrested you too, guys?”

Those who had just arrived in the dungeons looked left and they saw Rainbow Dash and nodded.

“I want to punch her so badly!” Rainbow slammed her front hooves as if she was ready to hit somepony.

“Rainbow, we can’t do that,” said Fluttershy.

“And why not, Fluttershy?” Rainbow Dash looked at Fluttershy. “She’s evil.”

“Did you forget, Rainbow?” Applejack asked in an unhappy way. “If we hurt Nightmare Sparkle, we’ll be hurting Twilight Sparkle.”

Rainbow Dash remembered, but tried not to admit that she was wrong. “I already knew.”

Applejack rolled her eyes at the answer. She couldn’t stand the pegasus’s ego. “Rainbow, can you stop being proud for a while? Can’t you even admit you’re wrong? Damn it…”

Rainbow Dash was annoyed. “Now you want me to act the way you want? Go pick apples.”

Applejack was annoyed by what Rainbow told her. “I’m just being honest!”

“No need to throw it in the face, right?!” shouted Rainbow Dash.

“Why don’t you let that pride go and admit you’re wrong?” asked Applejack.

Fluttershy decided to interrupt the fight. “Girls, stop fighting, please. Fighting won’t solve the situation at all.”

Rainbow Dash tried to not show her regret, while Applejack demonstrated the opposite and took off her cowgirl hat.

“I’m sorry, Fluttershy,” said Applejack.

Fluttershy smiled. “It’s alright Applejack.”

Applejack smiled at being forgiven and put her hat back on her head. But her smile fell when she remembered where she, her friends, the stallion, the dragon and the three princesses were.

“And now, princess? What will we do?” Applejack asked. “We can’t let Nightmare Sparkle dominate Equestria.”

Celestia looked at Applejack. She wanted to say that everything would be all right, everything would work out, it would end well and that they could save Twilight Sparkle from Nightmare. But how would they do it? Everypony and Spike were trapped in separate cages.

Celestia’s ears dropped and she let out a breath. “I don’t know, Applejack.”

“Come on, princess. I’m sure we can punch Nightmare’s ass and save Twilight,” said Rainbow Dash.

Applejack became angry again. “Did you happen to forget what I said to you, Rainbow? If we hurt Nightmare Sparkle, we’ll be hurting Twilight Sparkle.”

Rainbow Dash was grumpy and cross-hoofed. “It was just a way of saying…”

Celestia began to cry for her student. She still blamed herself for not hearing Twilight's Warning. Everypony heard Celestia’s cry and saw the princess lying, crying.

“It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault.” Celestia told herself.

Fluttershy wished she wasn’t far from Celestia, because then she could comfort the alicorn. “Princess, don’t blame yourself.”

Celestia looked at Fluttershy. “It’s my fault, Fluttershy.”

“In fact is my fault, princess,” said Shining Armor.

Everypony and Spike looked at Shining Armor, even Celestia, but there were still tears in their eyes.

“It was my fault for saying that ‘Cadence’ was that way because of stress,” said Shining Armor. “If I hadn’t said that, I would have made sure that you would all stand by Twilight.”

“Love, it wasn’t your fault,” said Cadence. “It was from Chrysalis. She fooled you all.”

Shining Armor seemed to want to believe the words of his future wife, but he still felt guilty about everything. He knew that maybe the reason he got mad at his little sister was because of Chrysalis’s spell. But what if it isn’t? What if he said that because he wanted to? Tears began to fall from his eyes and he lay on the floor as he wept with guilt. The others could do nothing but watch, because they were in separate cages.

In the sky, creatures known as the Nightmare Forces come out of the moon. Nightmare Sparkle was on the balcony of her castle watching them reach her.

Shadowfright went to Nightmare Sparkle to kiss his queen’s hoof. “My queen. You’re in the body of the bearer of the Element of Magic!”

Nightmare Sparkle smiled. “Yes, Shadowfright. But I am in control of my body, not Nightmare.”

Shadowfright smiled back. “And was it easy for Nightmare to convince you?”

“Well, at first I didn’t accept it, but it didn’t take long for her to convince me,” replied Nightmare Sparkle. “And I must confess, I was a lot easier than Luna.”

“I agree, my queen,” said Shadowfright.

“Anypony have any idea how we’ll get out of here?” asked Rainbow Dash.

Applejack had an idea. “Rarity!”

Rarity looked at Applejack. “Yes, Dear?”

“Can you teleport?” asked Applejack.

“I can try,” Rarity tried to use her magic, but unfortunately, it didn’t work. “I can’t use my magic.”

“They’re kind of clever for a bunch of monsters.” was all Rainbow Dash could think of to say.

Suddenly, they heard a snoring sound and saw a Nightmare Force sleeping right in front of the door. The ponies and the dragon would like to have the key. But how would they have?

“Guys, see!” pointed Pinkie Pie to something that was under the Nightmare Force.

Celestia recognized the item. “The key!”

“But how do we get it, princess?” Rarity looked at Celestia. “My unicorn magic doesn’t work.”

“Does alicorn magic work?” Celestia decided to try her magic, but it didn’t work either. Celestia didn’t know what to do. “I can’t use my magic either. And now?”

Pinkie Pie had an idea. “I already know what to do. Have no more fear, ponies and dragon. Pinkie Pie knows how to solve the situation.”

“What’s your idea, Pinkie?” asked Applejack.

“Just watch.” Pinkie Pie spun a part of her mane before she started digging. Near of the Nightmare Force, Pinkie Pie came up, took the key with a hoof, put it in her mouth before going to the princesses and their friends were. Although everypony was still confused as to how Pinkie Pie spun her mane, they decided to not question.

“We did it! But how do we get past that guy?” Rainbow Dash pointed to the Nightmare Force blocking the dungeon’s entrance and exit.

“How about we talk to him?” suggested Fluttershy. “I’m sure we could talk to him.”

“Fluttershy, this thing is loyal to Nightmare Sparkle, also known as Nightmare. He will never join us,” said Rainbow Dash.

“But that doesn’t mean we can’t try, Rainbow,” said Fluttershy.

“I have a better idea. Why don’t we fly over him?” suggested Rainbow Dash. “Me, Fluttershy and the princesses can carry those who don’t have wings even outside the dungeon.”

“That’s a good idea, Rainbow,” said Fluttershy. “But let’s take it one by one or it will be all at once?”

“It’ll be one by one, Fluttershy.” Rainbow Dash began to stretch to get ready.

“Dashie, what will we do after we leave the castle?” asked Pinkie Pie.

“We’ll punch Nightmare Sparkle,” replied Rainbow Dash.

“How many times do I have to tell you, Rainbow?” Applejack asked angrily. “If we hurt Nightmare Sparkle, we’ll be hurting Twilight!”

“Applejack, please. Don’t scream. You’ll end up waking the Nightmare Force,” said Fluttershy.

Applejack remembered that, and took off her hat. “I’m sorry. I forgot. But what will we do after we run away?”

“We don’t have a plan on how to defeat Nightmare Sparkle yet, so I’m afraid we will have to stay hidden in the Canterlot Castle until we come up with a plan,” said Celestia.

“Princess, what if Nightmare Sparkle attacks Equestria with the Nightmare Forces?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“Then I fear we will have to act fast and have a plan in mind. But first we need to get out of here.”

A new ally

The princesses, the five mares and the dragon were very close to the exit. They saw the exit and ran, but unfortunately it was blocked by one of the Nightmare Forces. “You all aren’t going anywhere!”

Rainbow Dash struggled to not laugh. “Sleep well?”

“Why do you work for them, Mr. Shadow?” Pinkie Pie jumped up to him.

“Because I’m loyal to Nightmare until the end,” replied Jerome. “But they don’t treat me as well as Shadowfright and Nightmare.”

“But how are you treated by them?” asked Fluttershy, concerned.

“They don’t care so much about what others are feeling, what matters to me and to them is our queen,” said Jerome.

“How is their friendship with the other Nightmare Forces?”

“What? Friendship? We aren’t friends and we aren’t friends with each other,” said Jerome.

Pinkie Pie was surprised. “What? But having friends is the best thing in the world.”

“Well, it may be for you, but for us it has no meaning,” said Jerome, “and you all aren’t leaving here.”

The six mares, the three princesses and the dragon got together to come up with a plan for how they could get Jerome out of the way. “And now? What are we going to do?” said Applejack.

“Let’s punch him in the face!” Rainbow Dash hit the two front hooves.

“No Rainbow, let’s settle in a peaceful way,” said Fluttershy.

Rainbow Dash stood with crossed hooves and sulked. “What’s your idea?”

“We will offer our friendship to him,” replied Fluttershy. “I’m sure if we talked, he would let us go.”

“Fluttershy, you and Pinkie Pie already talked to him and it didn’t work. How do you want us to do that?” said Rainbow Dash.

“We are going to show him that being a good person is much better than being evil,” said Fluttershy.

“Fluttershy, that might work, but he is loyal to Nightmare and he wouldn’t be by our side even if we talked to him for hours.” Applejack approached Fluttershy.

“But what if it worked?”

Suddenly, Fluttershy heard the sound of crying they saw that Celestia was lying on the floor, crying. “It’s all my fault. I lost Twilight Sparkle forever… ”

“Princess, don’t say that. We will be able to save Twilight,” said Applejack.

“But what if we don’t?” Celestia looked at Applejack before looking at the floor. “Oh Twilight, I’m so sorry. If only I had listened to you…”

“Princess, don’t blame yourself, Chrysalis is to blame. She fooled us all,” said Applejack.

“Yes. But it was our ignorance that made us lose Twilight in the first place,” said Celestia. “If only we had listened to her...”

“Sister, please don’t think it’s the end of the world. We are very close to getting out of here and saving Twilight.” Luna approached Celestia and put a hull on her.

Celestia looked at Luna. “But how are we going to save her? Using the Elements of Harmony? But we can’t, without Twilight, the Elements of Harmony won’t work.”

“C’mon guys. Don’t lose hope. We’re going to make it!” said Pinkie Pie.

Applejack took off her hat and sat on the floor. “I don’t know Pinkie. Princess Celestia is right. How are we going to save Twilight?”

“But there has to be a solution.”

Spike approached Celestia and started to cry, his tears wetting his cheeks. “Twilight, I’m sorry that I didn’t hear you. If only I had stayed with you in the rehearsal room…”

“I’m really sorry, ponies.” Everypony looked at Shining Armor, who was sitting on the floor while looking down. “If I hadn’t been thick with Twilight, none of this would have happened...”

“Shining, don’t blame yourself. The Chrysalis spell may have been why you acted that way,” said Cadence.

Shining Armor looked at Cadence. “But what if it isn’t? What if I really said that for wanting?” he could feel tears welling up in his eyes. “If only I had noticed that ‘Cadence’ was acting strange...”

“Shining, don’t blame yourself. It was Chrysalis fault.”

“Yeah, Shining. That evil queen tricked us all, resulting in us losing Twilight to Nightmare,” said Pinkie Pie.

“But how are we going to save Twilight?” Shining Armor raised a hoof.

“Let’s see, Nightmare Forces are forces of hate, so that means ...” Celestia realized what had to be done.

“What does it mean, princess?” asked Applejack.

“You and the other mares have to use what you all feel for Twilight to get her back to us,” said Celestia.

“It looks like a good plan. But how are we going to make this?” asked Applejack.

“You five are the spirits of the Elements of Harmony, so you are likely to have the magic to defeat Nightmare Sparkle and save Twilight,” said Celestia.

“But without Twilight, how are we going to do that?” asked Applejack.

“You’ll first ask if Nightmare Sparkle could stop being evil, and if it doesn’t work you use magic on it,” Celestia looked at Luna. “Luna, could you help get Nightmare out of the body so that Twilight could be released?”

“Of course sister,” replied Luna. “Everything for my best friend.”

“But how are we going to get past him?” Applejack glanced at Jerone.

“The same thing that you guys are going to do with Nightmare Sparkle,” said Celestia. “You can release your inner magic.”

Applejack and her friends started to think about how their friendship meant and they started to shine differently. Applejack was an green color. Fluttershy, yellow. Pinkie Pie, pink. Rainbow Dash, blue. And Rarity, purple. The five mare approached Jerome and used their magic on him. A rainbow spun around Jerome, and when it was gone, Jerome’s shape was different. Jerome was now skin-colored and his eyes were yellow.

Jerome looked at himself and realized that his shape was different. “I feel different. I feel… more like me.” he looked at the five mares with a smile. “Thank you ponies, well before Nightmare Moon went to the moon I and the others were guardians of dreams, but when Nightmare Moon arrived, it changed our shape so that we brought nightmares.” what nobody realized was that Luna was ashamed of herself .

“What’s your name?” asked Applejack.

“Jerome, pony,” said Jerome.

“Applejack.”

“Applejack.”

“Are you going to help us save Twilight?”

“Sure.”

“Do you know where Nightmare Sparkle went, Jerome?” asked Luna.

“Well, she is currently preparing to invade Ponyville with her army of Nightmare Forces,” said Jerome.

“We need to get out of here quickly before she and the others realize we aren’t in the dungeons!” said Applejack.

The Defeat of Nightmare Sparkle (Rewritten)

Nightmare Sparkle was in her room, putting on her armor while the Nightmare Forces watched her. Nightmare Sparkle’s armor was dark purple in color, the breastplate had a design of a six-pointed pink star. Nightmare Sparkle looked at herself in a mirror next to her. She couldn’t deny that she was beautiful.

“You look beautiful, my queen,” said Shadowfright with a smile.

Nightmare Sparkle looked at Shadowfright while smiling. “Yes, Shadowfright.”

“My queen, what are we going to do in Ponyville?”

“We are going to take Ponyville. You and the others will try to capture all the ponies that live in that useless city ...” Nightmare Sparkle was speaking, but was interrupted by Shadowfright.

“... So we take all the ponies here and put them in the dungeons?”

“No, Shadowfright.”

Shadowfright was surprised. “But if not, then what do we do with them?”

“I’m going to use a spell to make all the ponies stand by me and then, when Ponyville is overpowered by me ... I will reign Ponyville with a steel hoof!” Nightmare Sparkle started to laugh evilly, knowing that nothing would stop her from dominating Ponyville.

Meanwhile, the three princesses, the five mares, Spike and Jerome were already in Ponyville, waiting for Nightmare Sparkle to arrive.

“You all already know what to do, right?” asked Celestia just to be sure.

“Yes Princess!” they all shouted in unison.

“Stay in your positions. Nightmare Sparkle can arrive at any time. ”

After Celestia said that, she and the others saw Nightmare Sparkle on top of the Nightmare Forces. She smiled wickedly, when she reached the ground, she approached Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Shining Armor, Spike, Jerome and the five mares. “I see that you all escaped from prison.”

“Yes. We escaped your prison. We will not let you dominate Equestria! ” shouted Rainbow Dash boldly.

“Do you think you will be able to stop me from dominating Equestria? I have an army of Nightmare Forces and you all have nothing!” Nightmare Sparkle shouted the last word.

“We have the magic of friendship, Nightmare Sparkle,” said Applejack as she approached Rainbow Dash.

Nightmare Sparkle laughed, but it was forced this time. “Do you fools intend to use the Elements of Harmony on me? Please. Without me, the Elements of Harmony are useless!”

Shadowfright saw that they had a Nightmare Force with them. He glared at the betraying force. “Traitor!!! How dare you stand with these ponies against Nightmare!”

Jerome looked at Shadowfright. “Because these ponies are kinder than Nightmare, and besides, I’m starting to like this friendship business.”

Nightmare Sparkle was angry at what she just heard from Jerome, she carried her magic and attacked. “How dare you talk about me like that?!”

But Jerome dodged it. Nightmare Sparkle puffed out of her nose, but she soon calmed down. “I’ll take care of you later, now, I have some accounts to settle with some ex friends, ex mentor and ex brother.”

The ponies had their mouths open, it looked like Nightmare Sparkle wasn’t going to surrender.

Celestia decided to try one last time. “Twilight, please come back. I’m sorry for saying that to you after leaving the rehearsal site. ”

“Are you sorry? Are you sorry?! Why should I forgive you, princess? Do you have any idea how much you hurt me? You were there for me during my studies at Canterlot, you always trusted me and when I wanted to prove you had a threat you left me behind, as if I meant nothing to you!!” shouted Nightmare Sparkle.

The ponies and the dragon blew out a breath, knowing that Nightmare Sparkle would not surrender. It looked like there was only one thing left to do, but they were going to try one last time.

Applejack and the others approached Nightmare Sparkle. “We’re going to ask you just one last time: Twilight, stop it, please.”

“No!” Nightmare Sparkle shouted angrily.

Suddenly, the five mares cast their magic on Nightmare Sparkle. Luna approached Nightmare Sparkle and placed her horn with Nightmare Sparkle’s.

“Your darkness cannot stay alive forever. Allow Twilight to speak,” said Luna.

Then, Nightmare Sparkle started to speak, but in the voice of Twilight. “Girls! You are here! You have not abandoned me!”

“Wow! Nightmare really brainwashed you, huh?” said Rainbow, still using her magic.

Then, Nightmare Sparkle’s body was shrinking, until Twilight appeared, with tears streaming from her eyes. “You mean, you’re not going to end your relationship with me even after I accused ‘Cadence’ without proof and you abandoned me?”

“Why would we do that?” asked Fluttershy with a sweet smile and a raised hoof, still using her magic.

“Yeah, Twily. We would like to apologize to you,” said Shining Armor with a smile upon seeing Twilight.

“Really?” asked Twilight, now surprised by what Shining said to her.

“Yes, my dear student. You were right the whole time. The reason we didn’t believe you was because we thought ‘Cadence’ was acting that way because of stress,” said Celestia.

“I thought you guys would still be mad at me for acting so childish in the rehearsal,” said Twilight with her eyes closed just remembering that moment. Suddenly, the darkness started to return to Twilight. Spike panicked.

“Twilight!!” shouted the purple dragon.

Nightmare Sparkle’s body and armor started to return, and Twilight started to panic. Twilight’s friends started to get weak. “No! No!! I don’t want to go back! It was so cold and lonely. And I wasn’t showing my frustration in front of them, I was betraying them! Help!”

The Mane Five fell to the ground exhausted, their magic fading completely as Nightmare Sparkle regained control of Twilight’s body. The dark mare threw her head back and laughed wickedly. “Bwahahahahaha! You fools! Did you really think the power of friendship could defeat me and save your precious friend? Ha! I will never be that weak filly again! And do not worry. She will be remembered, but as the most evil and cruel queen of all!”

“Your Friendship will never be forgotten!” said Celestia with a raised hoof before approaching the others. “Listen, my little ponies. Twilight is scared that we are still mad at her for leaving us! Think about her, think about how much you like her.”

Everyone then did what Celestia asked. Pinkie thought of the surprise party she threw at Twilight when she arrived in Ponyville with Spike, Rarity thought of the time they were at the spa together, Applejack thought when Twilight helped her in the apple bucking season togheter her friends, Fluttershy thought when Twilight helped her with the animals, Rainbow thought when she and Twilight met, Celestia thought when she made Twilight her student, Shining thought about the moment when he and his little sister flew a kite, Spike thought about when he slept with Twilight during a storm. While everpony thought about how they liked Twilight and were not mad at Twilight, spells came out of them, forming a rainbow over them, and then going to Nightmare Sparkle and Nightmare Forces covering them. Until there was a flash. Everypony closed their eyes, and saw that Twilight came out of the darkness.

“Twilight!!” said Pinkie, pointing at the purple unicorn.

Twilight opened her eyes, and saw her friends looking at her with smiles. She went to her friends with tears in her eyes and they hugged her. “I’m sorry, guys. I’m sorry for letting my anger get the best of me. Could you guys forgive me?”

“Of course, Sugarcube,” said Applejack with a smile and tears in her eyes.

“Twily!” Shining Armor went to Twilight Sparkle and hugged her while crying. “I’m sorry that I got mad at you, Twily. Everything that happened is my fault from the start!”

“Big brother, don’t blame yourself. This was all Chrysalis’ fault,” said Twilight.

Shining Armor looked at Twilight. “But you’re going to forgive me for saying all that to you, right?”

“Sure, B.B.B.F.F.” Twilight hugged Shining Armor back.

Celestia approached Twilight. “Twilight, I’m sorry that I didn’t believe you, left you behind and spoke harshly to you.”

“It’s okay, Princess Celestia. I was accusing without evidence. I should have come up with evidence before I accused the false Cadence,” said Twilight Sparkle with a smile.

“So you’re not mad at me anymore?” asked Celestia, to be sure.

“No, princess,” Twilight replied. Celestia smiled at the answer. Twilight saw Spike approaching her.

Spike hugged Twilight Sparkle while crying. “Twilight, I’m sorry that I didn’t stay with you during rehearsal after you accused Chrysalis! You are still my mother even though I did that, right?”

“Of course I’m still your mom, Spike. I would never leave you.” Twilight wiped Spike’s tears with a hoof before hugging him.

“Thank you, ponies,” everypony looked back when they heard a voice and saw that the Guardians of Dreams were already on their feet. “Thanks to all of you, we are not Nightmare Forces anymore and we return to being the Guardians of Dreams. How can we thank you?”

“No need to thank us, Shadowfright,” said Twilight.

“Please, call me Larry,” said Larry.

“It’s all right. You don’t need to thank me, Larry,” said Twilight. “Where are you and the others going to stay now that you are no longer Nightmare Forces?”

“We are going to stay on the moon again, and this time, we will return to bringing dreams to all the ponies and creatures of Equestria. Bye, ponies.” Larry and the others started flying and went up to the sky.

“Bye, Larry.” Twilight Sparkle and the others said goodbye as they watched the Dream Guardians leave. When they got out of view, Twilight looked at her friends, brother, Spike, ex-foalsitter and her mentor. “Now, let’s go back to Canterlot. We have a real wedding to organize!”

“Yes!” everypony shouted in unison, except Twilight.
