It's a little known fact that when Cadence ascended to alicornhood, not everypony was happy with the change. But everything happens for a reason...

This story takes into account Cadence's backstory from Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell.

Reading by Scribbler and friends!

After a spell misfires, Twilight and Big Macintosh find themselves trapped in a world like none they've ever seen before. Together, they will face adventure, hardship, loss and longing, as their shared experience brings them closer together.

Princess Luna's Lunar Stallions kidnap Twilight Sparkle when they see how lonely Luna is, and give her to the Princess as a gift. Nightmare Moon emerges from Princess Luna's psyche during the sleepover. The dark goddess would love nothing more than to have the beautiful mare all to herself, and the resulting chaos forces Celestia to call a psychologist to sort out Luna's multiple personalities.

Sometimes, looking good can be hard.

Other times, it's impossible.

Today, for Princess Cadance, it just became impossible.

Literally.

Now, three princesses will confront a world they do not, cannot, understand.

But that won't stop them trying.

It seemed like such a noble goal to Twilight: bring herbivores and carnivores together by finally destroying the ethical cost of meat.

She would be lauded by history as the greatest agent of harmony, not that it would matter to her. All that would matter to her is that she'd finally performed an act worthy of an Equestrian princess.

All it had to do was work.

After discovering that Spike is suffering from polio, Spike realizes he only has three days left to live. In this time, Spike MUST find a way to achieve his deepest and most secret desire.

As with most of my stories, you have the Seattle's Angels skype group to thank for this one.
