On the train to Canterlot, everypony was buzzed with excitement for the upcoming royal wedding. Pinkie Pie had laughed herself to sleep, conveniently sitting next to Twilight at the time. Pinkie's head fell limp, and onto Twilight's shoulder.

"Uh, Twilight? Are you really gonna let Pinkie Pie sleep on you like that?" Rainbow Dash asked, grabbing everypony else's attention.

Twilight was deep in thought, thinking about the wedding, why Shining Armor didn't tell her about his marriage plans, who Princess Mi Amore Cadenza was, and what she was going to say to him about this.

"Twilight? Darling?" Rarity called Twilight's name with concern in her voice.

"Oh, yeah, it's fine as long as she doesn't snore."

Twilight didn't notice Pinkie sleeping on her shoulder until she looked over to see a sleeping, drooling Pinkie Pie, probably dreaming of frosting. Twilight just blushed and looked away.

Around an hour later, they arrived at Canterlot, spotting a numerous amount of guards surrounding the entrance.

"My, my, my, whatever is the reason for all these guards? Rarity asked, in her posh voice of course.

"Twilight, dontcha think you should wake Pinkie Pie up?" Applejack asked, completely ignoring Rarity's question.

Rarity just scoffed.

"Oh, yeah." Twilight said dryly. She'd been deep in thought the entire trip.

Twilight nudged Pinkie to wake up, Pinkie's vanilla frosting smelling breath on Twilight's neck. Pinkie's eyes fluttered until they were completely open.

"Morning Twi!" Pinkie said in her usual cheery, sweet voice.

Twilight thought it was sweet. And kind of cute too.

"uh, Twilight? Are you getting off the train?" Fluttershy asked. As soon as Fluttershy asked, Twilight realized she was still sitting.

♥--------♥---------♥

As Twilight walked out the departing train, Pinkie Pie looked at Twilight, and moved to Fluttershy's left side, seemingly avoiding Twilight. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash just lifted their eyebrows and moved on.

They headed into Canterlot to prepare the decorations and all the other necessities for the wedding, as Twilight stood idly by.

"You've got a big brother to congratulate." Applejack reminded Twilight.

"Yeah, congratulate. And then give him a piece of my mind." Twilight replied harshly. Everypony just stood there, concern on their faces.

I can't believe I fell asleep on Twilight of all the ponies! Why not Rarity? Or Applejack? Or, heck, even Rainbow Dash! Pinkie blushed at the thought.

"Uh, Pinkie Pie? Are.. You ok?" Rainbow asked with concern in her voice. "You're looking pinker than usual."

Pinkie snapped back to reality real fast. "Yep, juuust peachy!" Pinkie assured. The others headed off to their stations. Twilight going to each after she "congratulated" Shining Armor.

Applejack was finishing up the banquet preparations, when Cadence popped in the kitchen to check how things were going. When Cadence told Applejack she wanted to be called "Princess Mi Amore Cadenza" Twilight simply rolled her eyes.

After, Twilight stopped at Rarity's station to basically complain.

Ironically, Cadence stopped to see how the dresses were coming along.

The current bridesmaids loved the dresses the way they were, but Cadenza thought otherwise.

"Make them a different colour." Cadenza demanded.

"Geez, maybe her name should be Princess Demandypants." Twilight growled.

"Okay, lemme see!" Pinkie said excitedly.

"We've been over the games, the dances! Ah! I think this reception is gonna be PERFECT!" Pinkie screamed.

"Perfect!.. If we were celebrating a 6 year old's birthday party." Cadenza rudely commented.

Pinkie gasped. "Thank you!" Pinkie started sniffing around.

She smelled something.

"I smell book dust. Twilight, are you here?" Pinkie asked suspiciously. " 'Cause if you are, then I have to... Be somewhere!"

Twilight came out of her hiding place.

"Pinkie, wait!" Twilight called out.

Pinkie Pie was already gone. Twilight just sighed. "How does she go that fast?!" Twilight muttered under her breath.

Why is she avoiding me, I wonder? Twilight thought to herself.
--♥---------♥---------♥--

"Bet I can guess what you're all thinking!" Twilight said as she levitated a smoothie with her magic.

"Cadence is the worst Bride-to-be ever." Twilight said as her glass clinked against the table.

"Who? Me?" Spike asked, pulling out a Cadence cake topper, in a high pitched girly voice.

"Spike! That goes on top of the cake!" Applejack protested.

Spike just let out a nervous laugh.

"Twilight, darling, why whatever are you talking about? Rarity asked. "She's an absolute doll!"

"But she was so demanding!" Twilight protested. "AJ, did you know that after Cadence said she just loooved your hor d'oeuvres, she threw them away?"

"Probably was just tryna spare my feelins." Applejack calmly responded.

"She raised her voice at one of my song birds during our rehearsals." Fluttershy added.

"See? Rude!" Twilight said defensively.

"But he was singing really off-key. Fluttershy pulled out her bird friend, and she was right, he was singing really off key.

"Pinkie Pie, you had to have noticed how Cadence was asking." Twilight said in a questioning tone.

"Huh? Yeah sure I guess." Pinkie said, trying not to stutter.
Pinkie just turned away, trying hard to hide her blush, which just made it worse.

Twilight, being as uninvolved in romance as she is, has no idea what this means.

"Nevermind I guess?" Twilight said, a concerned look on her face, as well as everyone else's.

She's not talking to me either? This has got to stop. Twilight thought to herself.

"Rainbow, you're with me, right?" Twilight asked, almost pleading.

"Sorry ,Twi. I've been too busy stretching for my Sonic Rainboom to pay much attention to the bride's 'bad attitude'." Dash said.

"Dontcha think you're overreactin'? Just a tad?" Applejack asked in a meaningful tone. Everypony agreed.

"You're all just so caught up in your wedding planning to notice that there shouldn't even be a wedding!" Twilight shouted.

"Twilight?" Pinkie called her name, in a confused tone.
--♥------♥------♥--

Around 30 minutes later, Twilight came running through the door.

"Shining Armor's in real trouble, you have to help!" Twilight exclaimed before realizing that her friends were wearing bridesmaids dresses.

"Can you believe it? We're going to be Princess Cadenza's new bridesmaids!" Fluttershy said, full of glee.

"New bridesmaids? What ever happened to her old bridesmaids?" Twilight asked.

"She didn't say, but she said that she would absolutely looove if we would fill in for them. And you had your doubts about her." Applejack said.

They all started talking about how excited they were for the wedding. Twilight simply walked away.
