What if Emziko was Canon?

To say that Emziko did not expect her encounter with Spike to end up with her meeting with Celestia who was one of the ruling princesses in Equestria alongside her sister Luna, well that was an understatement.

But again, that just goes to show how Purple Dragons work. And Spike basically being a mail boy for one is something else. Emziko thought to herself.

"So, any idea who this Princess Mi Amore Cadenza even is?" Spike asked.

"I have no idea. I'm sure that she's been with my brother for long enough to consider marriage with him. That's not my main issue with this." Twilight said.

"Oh really now, and just what is your main issue?" Emziko asked, trying not to hide the fact that she personally thought Twilight was just being jealous.

"The fact that my brother waited until the very last moment to tell me; his own sister; that he was getting married." Twilight said.

"...Okay actually, that is something you can get mad at." Emziko admitted; seems her thoughts about Twilight being jealous weren't fully founded.

"I'd still very much like to meet this Mi Amore Cadenza. I didn't even know there were any new alicorns besides the three I do know." Twilight stated.

"Well, that's--" Emziko suddenly caught what Twilight just said. "Wait, three? I thought there were only two because that's what Spike told me: Princess Celestia and Princess Luna."

"Ah, right. Of course Spike wouldn't know about the third I know about. He never met her. I'm talking about my old foalsiter, Princess Cadence." Twilight said.

"...You had a foalsighter?" Applejack asked.

"You mean dragon siter for Spike right?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Nope; I mean for myself. We're also most likely going to run into my parents too because this is my brother getting married." Twilight said.

"Oh...I guess that does make more sense then..." Rainbow Dash said.

"So, there's three alicorn princesses that you know of?" Emziko asked. She then made a realization. "Are you absolutely sure you've never heard of a Mi Amore Cadenza before?" She then asked.

"Trust me darling, news of a new alicorn princess would be hard to not be told about." Rarity said.

"And no, I'm fairly sure that I haven't heard that name before." Twilight said.

"Are you absolutely positive about that?" Emziko said, before she suddenly somehow had two cue cards one with "Cadenza" on it, and the other with "Cadence" on it. "Tell me, are you just that blind?" Emziko asked.

"...What are you doing?" Spike asked.

"Oh please, some pony tell me I am not the only one sees the similarity between 'Cadence' and 'Cadenza'." Emziko said.

"...Wait, what's with the barrier?" Spike asked.

"Not just that, the train's being stopped for some reason." Pinkie Pie said, and the train sure enough came to a stop moments later.

"...How did she...never mind. Think about that later." Emziko said.

Some royal guards scanned each and every one of the main six and the two dragons. They did clear them to go on ahead though. "Well that was wierd. Anyone have any idea what that's about?" Spike asked.

"Your asking us?" Emziko asked. Either the tales about Purple Dragons was highly exaggerated or...

"Wait, I think I figured out what Emziko was on about: Twilight, Mi Amore Cadenza is--" But Spike was interrupted once the train arrived at the station.

Never mind... Emziko thought to herself, noticing Spike picked up on the name thing like she did.

At the station, the group encountered Shining Armor. "Twily, it's so good to see you again." Shining Armor said.

"Well, I know your busy as the guard captain, but did you really become so busy to not give me more of a heads up about getting married?!" Twilight exclaimed.

"Well, honestly, I have zero excuse for that..." Shining Armor said.

"Payback's going to be a bitch Shining, fair warning." Spike mumbled, having gone unheard by most.

Emziko did hear Spike though. ...Purple Dragons can be scary if you get on their bad side. A lesson Shining Armor is going to learn the hard way.

"But not only did you forget to tell me about your wedding, you forgot to tell me that you were even dating some pony I've never even met before!" Twilight said.

"But you have met Cadenza before Twilight; it's Princess Cadence's full name." Shining Armor said.

"FINALLY! Thank the purple some pony mentioned that." Emziko said.

Shining Armor stared at Emziko. "...What's her deal?" Shining Armor asked.

"We haven't been properly introduced, Mr. Shining Armor. Name's Emziko. Pleasure to meet you." Emziko said. "But what I'm on about, is that I figured it out pretty quickly how similar 'Cadenza' is to 'Cadence'. And Spike picked up on it too." She explained.

At that, Twilight face hoofed. "...I have zero excuse for that..." Twilight said.

"...You're not the only one. Faust that's so obvious now..." Rainbow Dash said.

Spike couldn't help but notice what Emziko just said. What did she mean by 'thank the purple'? Spike thought to himself.

"Speaking of the wedding, why were we checked by the royal guards? Security purposes?" Applejack asked.

"Actually, it's because we got a tip that some changelings are planning to sabotage the wedding; but with the barrier up, they aren't getting in." Shining Armor said.

Emziko suddenly was at attention. "...Did you just say changelings?" She asked.

Then, the group was approached by a pink alicorn. "It's Cadence!" Twilight said.

But, just as she got closer... "EW! WHAT SMELLS LIKE BURNT COCKROACH?!" Spike exclaimed, holding his nose.

"OH GOD, IT'S THAT SMELL! BY THE DRAGON LORD, IT'S VERY STRONG!" Emziko practically yelled, also holding her nose.

"O-oh my gosh, did I forget to shower. Um...can we catch up later?" Cadence asked Twilight.

"Sure. Don't want to be smelling like burnt cockroach on your wedding day." Twilight said. "...Not that I can smell it, but apparently, the two dragons can."

Candence did left. "Huh. I guess she must've accidently used the wrong shampoo maybe. Oh well. Hey Twilight, to make up for not telling you until the last minute, how about you become my best mare?" Shining Armor asked.

"Well, that would be very appreciated. Thank you." Twilight said.

Emziko then grabbed Twilight. "The eight of us will have a discussion about how the wedding is going to go; you got nothing to worry about with all of us on the job." Emziko said, but she winked at Spike.

"Yeah. It's all eight of us. You got nothing to worry about." Spike assured his adopted brother.

"See, I knew I made the right call." Shining Armor said and then left.

"...Okay what was that about?" Twilight asked.

"Remember how I was at Zecora's place? Well, there's a story behind the whole reason I was there." Emziko said.

"Better sit tight, this is going to take a hot minute." Spike said.
