Part 8 – Royal Canterlot Wedding
“Don’t you all think this is strange?”
“What is strange?”,
“I mean, Princess Cadance just confronted us and asked us like that, don’t you think it’s kinda’ suspicious?”,
“I don’t know, she is the Princess anyway, but it is still strange about how she found out about my mare friend.”
“Did you just say a mare friend?”
“Yes, I just...”
“Lyra, are you a lesbian too?”
“Yes, wait... you too? This is strange, we have a such similarity and...”
“YOU ALL HAVE KNOWN TOO MUCH”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 hours ago at the train station, Lyra was confronted by an alicorn, whom she called herself as Princess Cadance, the Alicorn of Love, Cadance asked Lyra to be her bridesmaid, Lyra felt really honoured of her request, and accepted it without any further thoughts. Cadance then invited her to come to the Castle, Lyra had a chilly feeling when she received the invitation, she felt something was wrong. She felt that the Princess, was not the Princess, “What the.. Lyra, what are you thinking, she is a good Princess, stop thinking bad things.” Lyra mumbled to herself and then called a caravan to the castle.
“Oh.. so you arrived, Lyra”, Cadance quickly greeted Lyra when she arrived at Canterlot Castle. “yes, Princess” Lyra replied calmly, Cadance smiled and called the others, “Here’s my other bridesmaids, they are Twinkleshine and Minuette”, Lyra received a warm welcome from the two bridesmaids. “Oh, and my sister-in-law-to-be and her friends are coming in an hour, please stay by my side.”, Princess Cadance then trotted out with her three new bridesmaids.
At the castle, a royal guard quickly sprinted into the groom’s room, he confronted the groom-to-be. “What happened Lt. Bolt? something’s happening in Canterlot?”, the pegasus took a long breathe and started a report, “Emergency situation Captain, one of my boys reported about strange sightings at Canterlot outskirts, they said those creatures had a strange pony body with holes, strange wings, and..”, Shining Armour quickly put on his golden armor, “ CALL EVERY GUARD IN CANTERLOT, IT’S CODE RED, A WAR IS GOING TO START. I MUST REPORT TO PRINCESS CELESTIA IMMEDIATELY”
Meanwhile, inside a train to Canterlot. The six friends were discussing about what they were going to do for the wedding, but except for one mare. Since the train left Ponyville, Twilight have been mumbling about his brother who she called as B.B.B.F.F. Twilight mumbled about why his brother didn’t tell her about his wedding.
“Why the long face, sugarcube?” asked Applejack. “I'm just thinking about Shining Armor. Ever since I moved to Ponyville we've been seeing each other less and less. And now that he's starting a new family with this "Princess Mi Amore Cal-whatshername", we'll probably never see each other.”, Twilight replied. Applejack then told Twilight to calm down, “Come on, now. You're his sister. He'll always make time for you.”, but Twilight didn’t agree and replied even angrier, “Couldn't seem to make time to tell me he was getting married.”
Not so long, the train was approaching Canterlot, strangely, a magic sphere was formed around Canterlot. The train then went through a gate guarded by two royal guards. In Canterlot, the Royal guards were scattered everywhere, from the castle to civilians houses. Twilight then saw a familiar face, she approached him but the royal guards stopped him. “Twily!” said the white unicorn happily, but Twilight didn’t replied happily to her B.B.B.F.F. After Shining Armor told Twilight about the threat to Canterlot and about his bride, Twilight’s frown turned to a big smile.
Then, Cadence trotted outside to see her sister-in-law-to-be and her friends. Twilight wanted to recite their little chant, but Cadence acted different from what she used to be. Twilight felt something was wrong, because her ex-foalsitter didn’t recognize her. Cadence even spoke impolitely, Shining Armor decided to return to his station, leaving Twilight and the others with Princess Cadence. Twilight felt suspicious and decided to spy on her, she slowly observe her through the preparation.
“Okay, you three, shall we look at our dress for the wedding?”, Cadence asked to her three bridesmaids. The bridesmaids nodded to the Princess, and then followed her to a white room. Inside, Rarity was mending some gown, Cadence asked the white unicorn softly, “Is my dress ready?”.”Yes, of course. Um, I've been working on it ever since I was given the assignment, and I think you'll be pleased with the results!”, Rarity replied happily, but Cadence wasn’t happy with the result and asked for different color. The three bridesmaids said that the gowns were good, but Cadence’s stare changed their mind.
Princess Cadence then left the three bridesmaids angrily, the three of them was confused about the Princess, who didn’t act like a Princess.”Pst... here”, Twinkleshine called the other bridesmaids as low as she could. “We must talk about something”, Minuette and Lyra were confused, but they chose to just follow her. “Talk about what?” asked Lyra, Twinkleshine looked around, and then replied with a lower voice, “About the Princess”. “What’s with the Princess?” Minuette interrupted the talk, Twinkleshine squinted her eyes, and asked the two of them,”Don’t you all think this is strange?”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“YOU ALL HAVE KNOWN TOO MUCH”, Princess Cadence suddenly opened the door. She stared angrily at her bridesmaids, the three bridesmaids were very scared. Without any further action, Princess Cadence hypnotized the three of them, “Now, all you must do is prevent our prisoner from escaping.”, “Yes, Princess” replied the three of them. After hearing their answer, Cadence opened a green fire portal under their hooves, and sent them to the Cave.
The Crystal Cave, a place Princess Celestia had abandoned for years, located right below the castle. There’s only one way out, and the three brainwashed bridesmaids, were guarding the way. Lyra and the other two could still control their mind, but their body just won’t listen. Not so deep from the exit, a singing voice could be heard.
Not so long, two mares were approaching the exit. Lyra wanted to ask for help, but instead of doing so, her body moved by itself and blocked their path. The Alicorn quickly threw a catnip, and strangely, Lyra and the other two were attracted by the catnip. They then went on fighting over the catnip while the two mares escaped outside.
The three mares fought wildly, they kicked each other only for a catnip. A kick flew straight into Lyra’s face, “Aw... damn you two, wait... I’m free! Good, now for those two...”, Lyra was woken up by a back hoof kick from Minuette, Lyra looked at the two fighting mares, “Forgot it, I better get out as fast as I can.”. Lyra slowly climbed outside, the sun was bright with some black creatures flying on the sky. Lyra recognized them from the book she read when she was in the college, Changelings, shapeshifting creatures who feed on loves.
Lyra slowly sneaked pass through the changeling, went on from building to building, and the changelings didn’t notice her, but not for long. When Lyra tried to sneak pass a group of changeling, one of them spotted the Turquoise unicorn. Lyra started to run, the changelings then abandoned their prey and started chasing the unicorn. Lyra ran and ran, but the changelings pair of wings were faster than four of Lyra hooves.
After running for a while, Lyra started to lose her breathe, and a dead end in front of her. She was cornered, hissing sounds could be heard from the changelings mouth. “Oh Celestia, this is my end..”, prayed Lyra. When the changelings prepared to charge at her, a magical sphere blocked their path, and the sphere turned large in second. Unable to hold the force, the changelings were blasted off, out of Canterlot.
After the danger passed, Lyra finally could take a safe breathe, she rested her hooves and head after being chased for a couple of minutes by the changelings, “Oh Lyra, you sure need more training”, she said to herself. The day was going dark, Princess Celestia had started to lower the sun. Lyra then trotted back to the castle, she combed her mane and cleaned her gown, the chase made her appearance a bit messy. When she arrived, she was just in time, the groom and bride had just started their vow.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, in a candy shop in Ponyville. The Candy Maker couldn’t stop worrying, she couldn’t sit still, It was almost one day since Lyra disappear. One day, sure wasn’t a long time, but for Bon Bon, it was. Suddenly, she heard a knocking sound from the front door. Bon Bon quickly ran to the front door and opened the door, Lyra was standing outside, her gown was a bit messy but she was fine.
“Lyra where have you been? I was really worried about you? I felt scared, I thought something bad was happening to you, I just don’t...”
“Shh...”
“But Lyra...”
“Bon Bon, please listen to me for this one, okay?”
“Okay”
“Bon Bon, will you... marry me?”
