Celestia attempts to make sense of the crashing of Princess Cadance's wedding (and the subsequent attempt to takeover Equestria) by consulting the all powerful guest list and Luna. The ensuing conversation hints that Luna's absence may have been less than coincidental.

I dont understand half the stuff that is going on or why.

This title is very long you might want to shorten it.

Punctuation, grammar, and capitalization, did you even proofread this?

5029317

I apologize, how may I help clarify what is going on?

This is placed shortly after a Canterlot Wedding. Shining Armor and Cadance are away on their honeymoon, and while Celestia is looking over the guests list for anything unusual, she noticed that Blueblood had not been present at the wedding. From there the story goes pretty much.

I did in fact proofread this story. I agree that the title is a tad long, though I'm a bit stumped on what to shorten it to.

5030125 please fix your grammar errors then. I may come up with an idea to shorten the title too.

5030187

Cleaned up some of the grammer, thanks for pointing that out.

And I think I chose a shorter if not better title as well.

5030125 Where does it say Luna did something fishy? And what was that shapeshifting Cadence? Walk me through this.

"She kept changing form," Blueblood complained, "Mere minutes after getting off the train disguised as some random pony, she emerged from an alleyway as herself. I later called Cadance out on it, she denied, and I warned Shining that it had to be Cadance as her self in order for it to count! He gave me a very strange look."

Chrysalis, during the Canterlot Wedding in the canon series, disguised herself as Cadance, presumably entering the city prior to Shining Armor putting up the barrier (which was put up in response to the threat against Canterlot). I took some liberty and made it to point out that Chrysalis had came to Canterlot as a different pony before transforming into Cadance. Whether it was the real Cadance who denied him out of confusion or Chrysalis wanting to keep cover is not specified, but either way, the shape-shifting Cadance is Queen Chrysalis.

As for the Luna part, Luna in the canon did not show up to the Wedding until the late evening, asking whether she had missed anything. Presuming she was dead serious, this would imply that she either slept like a rock buried six feet under in a closed casket (which is unlikely in this story's headcanon considering she came to this conversation in the first place) or she was nowhere near Canterlot during the attack, and had no intentions on going to the wedding reception planned for that day.

There was hardly anything subtle about the attack, so really just about anything could have happened and Luna would have missed out. What she was doing during this time is still up in the air, but defending Canterlot could not have been one of them.

I guess the short of it is, to get that Luna must have done something off, you would need to have seen The Canterlot Wedding parts I and II, which I assumed readers would be familiar with, to get the hint.

5034440 I saw them. Why would she be awake? Probably she was exhausted and sleeping. Or she was Chrysalis herself.

5035698

Exhausted or not, I would like to think that the changeling attack would have awakened her, presuming of course she actually sleeps anywhere in Canterlot and would be able to hear the shenanigans going on.

While I don't believe so nor does this story follow that idea, Luna being Chrysalis would certainly count in the fishy department. :scootangel:

5035941 She could also be cocooned during her sleep and have been woken up by the blast.

5035992

Could have. Imagine waking up sticky and falling from the ceiling, I am sure I would have had some questions to ask as well. :rainbowlaugh:
