Twilight makes a totally sensible decision after the calling-the-bride-evil fiasco

When Twilight's accusation goes awry theres only one thing she can do. Runaway from her problems of course! At least until paperwork comes along.

Those caves are surprisingly accoustic

just something short and silly!

Those caves are surprisingly accoustic

“You’re evil!”

“Cadance” began to sob, turning away crying.

“I-I’m just…under a lot of pressure.” With that she ran out of the altar crying. Twilight was…confused. That wasn’t the reaction she had expected out of the bride. B-But she was so sure, even if she was under pressure this was way out of character! This had to be-

“TWILIGHT!”

Cadance looked up as she heard voices above her. Ponies were in the altar room again! Thank Celestia somepony would hear her down here!

“Hey! HEY! I’m down here!”

Above ground Twilight was just chewed out brutally by her brother who stormed off to comfort his “wife.” One by one everypony, her friends, Celestia, even Spike left her behind. Applejack was the last one to leave.

”Listen sugarcube, we’re gonna need to talk about this all a bit later.” She whispered in the unicorn’s ear as she left the room.

“SERIOUSLY THESE CAVES ARE WEIRDLY GOOD AT CARRYING SOUNDS HOW CAN NONE OF YOU HEAR ME UP THERE- wait is that Twily crying?” Normally she wouldn’t be happy that the pony she saw as a little sister was in tears but it DID mean Twilight was alone, meaning that her doppelgänger would try to take her out by sending her down here, and then by using Twily’s big brain they could escape! Wait hold on what was she saying now.

“W-Well…*sniff* t-there’s only one thing I can do now…”

Please be confront Chrysalis, please be confront Chrysalis, please be confront Chrysalis and tear her stupid bug wings off and shove them in her stupid holes and down her throat-

“I have to go back to Ponyville, change my name, and live out the rest of my life as an anti-social weirdo again!”

“TWILY CELESTIA-FUCKING-DAMNIT AAAAAA-“

Twilight sadly teleported herself back up to her old tower where she was staying until the wedding, which she’d been uninvited to by now, and packed her things in a bundle. She completely forgot that she had a bag so a tied blanket would have to do. From there she teleported back outside of the castle and made the long depressing trot to the train station. Not like anyone would miss her now. She knew she wouldn’t.

“Hey, Sugarcube? Ah’ know yer’ likely feelin’ really down about what happened back there.”

“You should by the way, that was really uncool.”

“Dash shut up! But we all wanted ta’ talk with ya’ you’re actin’ like ya’ did durin’ the whole, “Smarty Pants” incident again and you’ve got us worried honey- wh-huh?” Applejack opened the door to the altar room, only to find it completely empty.

“She’s gone!” Pinkie said, bouncing right into the room and looking behind every pew and evens ending up on the ceiling.

“Wh-Where’d she go! Sh-She isn’t in the right mental state to go disappearing!”

“Oh wooow, so you DO care despite all the flack you’ve been giving darling.” Rarity snarked, making Rainbow Dash grumble.

“I-I’m just holding her accountable, that doesn’t mean I can’t still be worried.”

Spike came running in panicked.

“Twilight’s things are gone! E-Except her suitcase for some reason.” Spoke reported, getting a gasp out of everypony there.

“Celestia damn it I KNOW SOMEPONY CAN HEAR ME!” Cadance shouted, pounding the ground using ludicrous amounts of earth pony strength for the first time.

“…wow, Auntie Celestia is right. I am very limited in what I do.”

Then the roof caved, showering her in crystals and part of the altar room’s floor.

”Oh wowie! Secret hole!”

Twilight waited in a depressed state by the station. She had ruined everything for herself. All because she was a possessive, clingy idiot who makes brides cry. At least she couldn’t be doing any of that any more under a new name with no friends…wait Celestia damnit Ponyville doesn’t have a registration office she’ll have to do it here. She picked up her bundle in her magic and trotted off.

Rarity feverishly rifled through every room for Twilight. She couldn’t believe she would’ve up and disappeared entirely without at least talking to them! Even worse Twilight had been right, yet they had all shunned her before coming to check on her! That did make Rarity wonder how things were going with Rainbow Dash, Cadance, and Applejack.

Said ponies were busy pummeling Chrysalis’s face flat as a dime.

“SO YA’ LIKE IDENTITY FRAUD RIGHT?!”

“N-n-noo-“ THWACK

“YA’ LIKE MAKING PONIES CRY RIGHT?!”

“Nooo!-“ THWACK

Shining Armor watched in the corner with an ice pack on his head in terror as Cadance took her turn pounding Chrysalis’s face in with her bare hooves. Applejack and Rainbow Dash hyped her up as they waited for their turns to come around again.

“I-I’m s-sorry by the way.” He weakly said.

“Shiny I already told you it’s fine, you were literally brainwashed.”

“Doesn’t hurt to be safe h-heheh…”

”Shiny help me-“ Is all Chrysalis managed before Applejack cut her off with a kick to her ribs.

“Y’AINT FINISHED FER’ A WHILE!”

Fluttershy fluttered in a look of joy upon her sweet face.

“Everypony! I found a bat!”

“Aw sick!”

“I can’t believe I just left her behind…what kind of assistant am I…” Spike sobbed into his knees, Pinkie Pie patting him on the back.

“It’s okay Spike, she couldn’t have gone far! We’ll find her before you can say TwilightpleasecomebackithinkimdyingofgriefweloveyouandharmonydidntbringustogetherifwediddntgodPLEASEJUSTCOMEBAAAACK! In caps at the end!” Spike just looked at Pinkie Pie oddly.

Twilight summoned her pocket watch again as she checked the time. She thought she’d be ahead with her coming in when the line was short, but with the paperwork she would’ve been better off coming in at any other time. As she filled out countless rows, she found herself for the first time not enjoying it. She couldn’t stop thinking about things that weren’t her address. Like the girls and Spike. She would really miss them.

Wait why do they need to know about her income.

Celestia and a disturbingly bloodied Applejack ascended Twilight’s old tower. The princess would’ve demanded Applejack cleaned up first, but for some reason the farm mare was radiating an aura that told her that she was not the stronger of the two. The pair were searching the room for any clue as to where Twilight could’ve gone, and so far it was looking fruitless.

Celestia could barely keep herself from grieving right then. First she silently admonished Twilight, then it turns out her lack of trust in her own student nearly caused an invasion, and now she goes missing. Just like Sunset did…

She laid her head down on Twilight’s bed. She knew that she couldn’t give up, especially when Twilight was a special pony to more than just her…but it seemed so easy after having something like this happen again. She couldn’t totally close herself off from feeling and couldn’t unroot her perception of time, thank Alicorns being part earth pony for that, but now more than ever she wished she could.

“Hey! I know this smell!” Celestia was perplexed as to why Applejack was smelling things at this moment or how she could recognize anything that came from this room.

Applejack’s nose was sniffing a particular point on the ground.

“Eeyup, it’s strong too!”

“W-What’s strong?”

“Oh! The smell of Twilight’s magic!”

“Wh- I- how?!”

Applejack brushed Celestia off.

“Just an us thing. She makes the same smell when we all- actually we don’t have time for that. Ah’ think she’s teleported!”

Celestia looked at her confused.

“Aaand you can tell that by smelling?”

“We like to have fun with magic.”

Twilight grumbled as she sorted through all the forms. Why did she need so many to change her name?! Jeez, was it that special a pony keep their original name? At this rate she would be at this all day, and she STILL had to get back to Ponyville!

”TWIIIILYYYYY”

The guttural roar of a bride rang out at her with rapidly approaching hooves as she was tackled into the grass and rolled a few feet. Oh god. Oh god this was it. Twilight’s actions during the rehearsal made her snap so bad that she was going to kill her for ruining her perfect wedding.

“Twily you were right!”

._. ?

“God ponies can be SO goddamn dense but thaaank you, thankyouthankyouthankyou! Your frustrating ignorance of me right below you all helped me escape, AND reveal that the me getting married was a doppelgänger! You exposed Chrysalis!”

._. ???

“…”

“Here sugarcube, let me explain it to ‘er. She seems a bit overloaded.” Applejack said pulling back Cadance. Applejack and the rest of the girls surrounded Twilight with Applejack standing in front.

Then they suddenly tackled Twilight in a…”cuddle” pile.

“Hm. Nice form.” Cadance commented. Celestia just looked at her niece disgusted as she covered Spike’s eyes.
