A corrupted perspective

Discord walked through the Canterlot hallway as the bridesmaids followed.

"I thought those dresses looked lovely!"

"I know! They had a magnificent aura to them!"

"I don't think we're ever going to get dresses that beautiful again!"

These bridesmaids were starting to get on Discord's nerves, he had to find a way to get rid of them.

He had thought about how he left Cadance unguarded when he sent her to the Caves. He had to fix that, and he knew just how to do it.

"Why don't you three stand against the wall for a minute?" "Cadance" requested the bridesmaids.

"Why? What's so important that we do that?" One bridesmaid asked "the bride".

"Why, it's a surprise...." "Cadance" "assured" the bridesmaids, as one of them gasped in excitement.

"We love surprises!"

"Will we like the surprise? Is it exciting?!"

"Is it new dresses for us?!"

"Girls girls! One at a time.... If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise now would it?" "Cadance" asked the bridesmaids.

"No, I guess not."

"Good. Now stand against the wall, and no peaking." "Cadance" instructed the bridesmaids, as they did as they were told.

"I can't wait, I just can't wait!"

"This is the best post wedding plan ever!"

"I can't wait for our surprise!"

Discord snapped his tail which formed a finger, as the three bridesmaids fell under a Discorded trance.

"You are now dwelling cave ponies, you do not want to let anypony leave your cave. They mustn't go anywhere." Discord commanded the brainwashed bridesmaids, as he sent them to the caves as well.

"They won't go anywhere, won't go anywhere...... Won't-" The brainwashed ponies chanted as they were dragged to the caves....

Discord knew that in combat three unicorns didn't stand a chance against the element of magic or the princess of love, but he figured their morality would prevent them from hurting innocent ponies who are under a spell.

However, he then groaned in annoyance, realizing that he needed new bridesmaids.

Which could work in his favor.......

Later....

"Congratulations! You're the new bridesmaids." "Cadance" told the five element bearers, as they all gasped in excitement.

"But.... what happened to the old bridesmaids?" Fluttershy asked.

"Oh, that's not important. This is a golden opportunity for all of you! You should consider this an achievement." "Cadance" "assured" the ponies, as they all wowed and awed at their new dresses and roles in the wedding.

Discord grinned to himself as he walked back to Shining Armor's room.

As he opened the door, he saw Shining Armor waiting for him.

"The bridesmaids have gone missing! you are the last one to have been with them, what happened to them?" Shining confronted "Cadance".

"Don't worry! I gave the job to Twilight's friends." "Cadance" "assured".

"That still doesn't explain what happened to them!" Shining stated.

"Oh, well you see the thing is........" Discord tried to think of a good excuse, until he found one that could not be argued against.

"I had to kick them out. Don't tell anypony, but the only reason they wanted to be in the wedding was so they could meet Canterlot royalty." "Cadance" "lamented", as the captain gasped in shock and disappointment.

"I know! It is upsetting. Promise you won't tell anypony else this? I don't know if they could handle such disappointment." "Cadance" requested the groom, as he nodded in agreement before "Cadance" went upstairs to "her" room.....

Discord snickered evilly as he levitated a hair comb and brushed his mane while starring at the mirror.

'Those fools actually bought it! I knew ponies were gullible but not stupid! Oh the look on their faces when they see who the bride really is after we get hitched! Hah ha ha ha!' Discord snickered to himself, as he then overheard talking coming from downstairs.

Curious, he exited the room to see what was going on.

"But all I'm saying is that-"

"Oh, I'm not interrupting anything, am I?" Discord saw Shining and Twilight talking to each other.

"No, no not at all............"

"Good, because there's something I need to talk to you about, in private........." "Cadance" told "her" fiance, as "she" went inside the broom closet.

Discord laughed maliciously inside his head, for he wanted Twilight to see this....

"Listen, you need to not wear that silly medallion."

"This was my favorite uncle's."

"'Was'. Just take it off."

"I'm wearing it at the wedding."

"Perhaps I don't make myself clear." Discord used his magic on the captain, as he begun to turn more grey.

"You will not wear that medallion at the wedding."

"I will not wear this medallion at the wedding." The groom repeated, as he threw the medallion in the trash bin.

"There, that's better." Discord stated, as he lifted Shining Armor up from his daze.

When they walked out of the closet, they saw Twilight running out the door.

"Twilight?" Shining called out to his sister.

"Let her go." "Cadance" told "her" groom, as "she" gently rubbed "her" head on his shoulder.....

Discord contorted his smile into a wicked grin hidden from Shining Armor, as he knew that everything was going according to plan.......

Later.........

"Cadance" entered the alter to practice for the rehearsal, as "she" approached, Celestia gestured Shining Armor to get the ring from the best mare.

However, they noticed that Twilight wasn't in the room.

"Wha- where is Twilight?"

SLAM!

"Right here!"

'Shouting, that's a good sign...' Discord snickered in his head.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why she's acting like this."

"It's ok, maybe the rehearsal can still happen WITH her."

"No! There is no rehearsal! Because there is no wedding! Because SHE'S, EVIL!"

'It worked!' Discord cackled in his head, while on the outside he pretended to look shocked and afraid.

All the while everypony in the room was genuinely confused and upset.

"She's acted suspicious towards my friends, she's obviously done something to her bridesmaids, and if that wasn't enough, she's able to command Shining to do her bidding through brainwashing!"

Discord giggled in his head as he saw everypony had the same look of shock and bewilderment as he did.

"There is something wrong with her, and I'm not going to let her hurt my brother!"

Discord had Twilight right where he wanted her, now it was time to finish her off.

"Wha- why I would never! Why are you doing this to me?"

"Because you're evil! EVIL! And if I don't stop you, you're going to ruin my brother's life!"

Twilight had fallen for Discord's trap hook, line, and sinker. And he was going to ensure that by playing the innocent victim and running across the hall crying helplessly.

Once he had made it to the end of the hall, he leaned against the wall crying nonstop as he waited for the damage to be done.

He had turned his head to the end of the hall a couple times to check if the ponies would walk out, and when they did, he continued crying fruitlessly.

"I'm so sorry that happened to you, I just don't know what got into her. Are you going to recover?" Shining asked "the bride".

"Sniff. Yes, I'll be fine." "Cadance" assured the groom.

"I don't know what you think is an appropriate punishment, but I BANNED her from the wedding. That's not going to be a problem is it?" Shining asked, as he lifted his hoof up "her" chin.

"No, not at all." "Cadance" assured, as the ponies begun to leave.

"Wait!"

Shining Armor turned back to face "her".

"Let me talk to her. If you really did ban her, then she must have learnt her lesson. But let me talk to her to tell her there's no hard feelings....." "Cadance" requested "her" groom.

"Sigh.... If you believe you must...." Shining accepted, as he and the others left to their rooms.

Discord, with a sly grin, walked back to the alter to see Twilight crying helplessly on the floor.

'Aww, her big bwother hurt her wittle feewings.' Discord mocked in his head, as he walked up to her and placed a hoof on her head, gently rubbing it while giving her a warm smile, as if to say "she's forgiven her".

"I'm so sorry."

"You WILL be."

Discord made the ground consume Twilight like he did with Cadance and the bridesmaids as he sadistically watched Twilight squirm like a worm on a hook.

'THAT'S for turning me into a garden gnome you purple prissy!' Discord scorned in his head, as he walked away with a sadistic smile....

Later.....

"Cadance" returned to "her" and Shining Armor's suite.

"How'd it go?" Shining asked "her".

"I told her I forgave her, but she couldn't take the guilt and stormed out of the castle." "Cadance" "lamented", as Shining sighed in disappointment.

"Don't worry dear, once we marry, we can visit her anytime you like. And the rehearsal, Discord, the migraines, it will all seem like a bad dream...." "Cadance" "assured" as "she" braced him with a hug, which caused him to turn more grey.

All according to plan.......
