//------------------------------// // A Wedding to Crash, And a Life of Love // Story: A Rise to Rule, and A Heart to Conquer // by dorgaorpha //------------------------------// Chapter 4 A Crashed Wedding, And a Life of Love         Chrysalis awoke immediately when Celestia’s spell wore off. And when she did, she shot upright and looked at the time.         “12:30?! Give a girl some time to look good before crashing a wedding!” Chrysalis said as she hurried and cleaned herself off. She wore more proper clothing she had packed and made herself look decent enough. “I wish I had more time, but it takes at least 30 to fly to the tree” she said to herself and ran out the door, seeing Atticus walking up to her.         “Oh! Your majesty I-Whoa!” he gasped as she was suddenly being dragged by Chrysalis.         “Just shut up and come with me!” she said to her teacher. The two ran out the nearest door and Chrysalis took off into the sky. Atticus worked himself free and flew in front of her stopping her.         “Your majesty what is the matter?! After all you can’t just drag me along and not tell me what’s going on!” he said to her. Chrysalis breathed in preparing to tell him all of it in one breath.         “You remember my friend I met with when I was younger? Well I visisted her anyway every night for six years and promised her I would return to her after the revolution, well apparently she was somehow forced to marry when she didn’t want to, and I yelled at her for leaving me, but I found out she really does love me and is going to be married today and now I have to stop the wedding and tell her how I truly feel about her and I need your help to do so!” she said to him, Atticus just standing there for a second, taking it all in, then smiled.         “What are we waiting for?” he said with a smirk and Chrysalis just grinned.         “Follow me!” she said taking off towards the tree, Atticus following closely. Soon they arrived at the tree landing in front of it.         “So what are we doing here?” Atticus asked her.         “Just look for two flowers either about to bud or still in bud, but they have to be the exact same!” she said and began to look around on the ground, seeing the different flowers as she looked for two that were budding, that happened to be the same.         “Your majesty” Atticus called, presenting two flowers that were exactly the same, in the same stage of budding and both with the dirt still around the roots.         “Atticus you’re a life saver!” said hugging him. “Now come on! We only have half an hour before the wedding starts!” she said taking off into the sky.         “This is honestly very exciting” Atticus said with a smile, and took off after her. In a way it reminded him of when her father was trying to woo her mother. Only he didn’t crash a wedding.         Inside the grand hall in Caterlot Castle, Celestia stood at the top of the altar where Shining Armor stood waiting with a smile. The seats had been filled with family and friends of Cadence and Shining Armor, including Celestia’s student, Twilight Sparkle, and her friends. Luna happened to be one of the Maids of Honor and looked over to Celestia.         “What are you planning?” she said telepathically to her sister.         “You’ll see” Celestia said telepathically back to her.         Soon the music began and everyone looked back, watching as Cadence slowly entered the room, wearing a long white bridal gown and approaching the stage. Everyone was smiling and loving how Cadence looked, her father smiling since his daughter wouldn’t be with a changeling. Shining Armor stood there with a smile as Cadence stood next to him, and turned to him. He pulled the veil from her face and smiled to her. Cadence smiled weakly back to him, faking it all.         “Hey…you ok?” he whispered and just nodded.         “Y-Yeah…today’s our big day…right?” she whispered back, still bothered by what had happened yesterday. Celestia looked to the large doors in the front, wondering at what point Chrysalis would come in. But she of course knew she had to start it off as the one to marry them.         “Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today…” though she stopped as she listened and heard the doors burst open and slammed against the walls when they swung open. Celestia smiled as she saw Chrysalis and Atticus standing there, panting for air. “You’re early” Celestia said with a smile.         “I don’t care this wedding can’t happen” Chrysalis said as she walked down the aisle with Atticus, people gasping and murmuring as the changeling queen approached the stage.         “THE HELL YOU MEAN THIS ISN’T GOING TO HAPPEN?!” St. Patrick burst out and Chrysalis just stared at him with her eyes glowing green and began to radiate magic.         “SIT…DOWN…” she basically commanded and he fell back in his chair. Chrysalis walked to the stage to see a shocked Cadence and Shining armor.         “What do you mean this wedding can’t happen?” Shining said beginning to glare at Chrysalis. Cadence honestly felt her heart beating in her chest, wondering why Chrysalis was back, and what was she going to do.         “Because the girl I fought for the last 5 years of my life for doesn’t love you” she said with a smile as she looked to Atticus who walked up and presented the flower buds. “And I’m going to prove it” she said smiling as she looked to Cadence, who was honestly stunned, not believing what Chrysalis was saying after she saw her yesterday.         “How?” shining Armor asked as he looked to the queen and the flowers. Chrysalis only smiled as she looked to Cadence.         “Cadence’s special talent is fueling her magic with her love” she said looking to the flowers. “This is to test who she loves more using the flowers. It should be easy to make them bloom with magic correct?” she said looking to Celestia.         “Yes it is” Celestia answered with a knowing smile.         “Cadence will use her love to fuel her magic for each of us. We can tell the difference with the end result of who she cares for more” she said looking to Shining Armor. “Choose which flower you wish to have” Chrysalis said to him.         “All right, I’ll play this game with you” he said walking up and choosing the flower In Atticus’s right hand. Chrysalis of course chose the remaining flower.         “I’ll let you go first” Chrysalis said and Shining Armor walked in front of Cadence.         “I love you with all my heart Cadence” Shining said with a smile and Cadence smiled back. She was a bit nervous though, afraid what would happen when she would cast her magic into the flower. But she began. Magic coursed through her horn as she looked to Shining and soon enchanted the flower. It bloomed until it was full into a vivid colored rose. Shining turned to present his flower to the room, and most had never a flower as lovely as the one he had. “Your turn” Shining said to Chrysalis, who nodded and walked in front of Cadence.         “Cadence…I’m so sorry about the way I treated you” she said looking up to her. “And I will never treat you like that again…for as long as I live” she said to her love. Cadence was honestly about to cry, seeing Chrysalis sincere and still in love with her. But she had to keep her composure as she nodded and closed her eyes.         “Chrysalis…” Cadence whispered as she thought of the first time they met. The nights they spent together talking, playing, and enjoying each other’s company. And the night she told her she loved her. The moment she finally received the letter, and the multiple drawing she made of her. She thought of it all, and then, Cadence cast her spell. The flower began to bloom slowly, Chrysalis watching as when it opened, it began to glow. The petal had grown larger than the other flower’s, it was full of a lush vivid pink color, and literally glowed. Chrysalis looked up to Cadence, who slowly opened her eyes and tears were streaking down her face.         “I love you…” Chrysalis whispered as she turned to present the flower, not saying anything as the audience literally was speechless. None of them had seen a flower as beautiful as the one Chrysalis was holding now. “This…is the power of true love” she said as she turned back to a Cadence, who was weeping.         “CHRYSALIS!” she said throwing herself into the changeling, who gladly accepted the hug and wrapped her arms around her. “I’m so sorry! I’m sorry I did this to you!” she bawled as she held onto her lover. “My father threatened me! He beat me for loving you!” she bawled out and Chrysalis just stopped.         “HE WHAT?!” she yelled and turned to the man. The man was now in desperation, encountering the wrath of a queen.         “I-I WON’T LET MY DAUGHTER BE WITH SOME FREAK SLUT!” he yelled grabbing one of the guards swords and charged at the queen. Chrysalis put Cadence behind herself, but knew she would be injured by the blade even though she could stop it.         “Oh no you don’t!” Shining Armor dove in front of Chrysalis pushing her out of the way, taking the force of the attack.         “SHINING!” Cadence and Twilight Sparkle, Shining Armors sister, screamed out as they rushed to his aid. Chrysalis however moved to St. Patrick and charged him, knocking the blade from his hand and kicked him in the stomach to the ground. Guards immediately surrounded him and restrained him.         “You…you saved me” Chrysalis said looking to shining armor who was being healed by Twilight Sparkle and Cadence.         “D-didn’t…Didn’t wanna see Cadence hurt” he gagged smirking to her. Chrysalis only smiled to him and nodded.         “Thank you” she sincerely meant that and turned to St. Patrick. “I should kill you for hurting your own daughter and trying to steal from me the most wonderful, beautiful, and most caring person I know” she said as she glared at him. “But you’re still Cadence’s father, and we’re not in Noraak Thu’m, so it’s up to Celestia” she said turning to the Princess.         “St. Patrick, you are under arrest for the abuse of your daughter, and the attempted murder on the Captain of the Royal Guard. Both terrible crimes which deliver harsh punishment for committing them, including high treason” Celestia said as she walked to him. “For this you are banished from seeing your daughter ever again and will rot in a jail cell for the rest of your life” Celestia glared at the man as she delivered the judgment onto him. Cadence then stood up and walked over to her restrained father, slapping him in the face.         “And you are going to suffer the fact knowing that I have and always will love Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings, AND WILL SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH HER!” she yelled at the man.         “NO! NO YOU SLUT! YOU WHORE! MARRYING A FREAK LIKE HER! IF I GET OUT I’LL KILL YOU BOTH! I’LL KILL YOU!” he screamed out as he was dragged away by the guards.         “Well…now that that’s over, how are you Shining?” Celestia said as she looked to Shining armor.         “Heart broken…but I’ll live” she said smiling weakly and looked to Chrysalis. “Don’t hurt her.”         “I won’t” she said with a smile and walked over to Cadence wrapping her arms around her, Cadence doing the same. “I missed you…” the queen said holding her close.         “I missed you too…” Cadence said holding her, tears running down her face as she held onto her love.         “Ahem…I believe this wedding has been ruined, at least for Shining’s side of the family” Celestia said looking to the family members and friends of Shining Armor who started to leave.         “Can we still go on with it?” Cadence said looking to Celestia. “I mean…just with us two instead?” Cadence said looking to the family members, and was surprised to see Twilight and her friends still there.         “Well you’re still getting married right?” one of Cadence’s cousins said standing up.         “Chrysalis?” Cadence asked her lover.         “If you want to” Chrysalis said with a smile.         “Yes!” Cadence said happily.         “Then there’s still ad wedding to see!” the cousin said causing others to nod and agree.         “Yeah! Plus I wanna be here for the party anyways since I already got it planned!” a pink pony who happened to be one of Twilight’s friend said jumping into the air with a big grin on her face.         “I-I don’t wanna ruin the mood, so I’ll stay too” Shining Armor said with a sheepish smile as Twilight helped him up.         “Then the wedding is on!” Celestia said with a smile and looked to Luna.         “Told ya I had a plan” she told her and Luna only smiled and shook her head.         This time, Cadence and Chrysalis stood at the altar, both smiling happily as they listened to Celestia go through the usual lines of marriage and bonding when two who love each other come together. Those who stayed enjoyed themselves as they watched them, crying, or just sitting and enjoying the moment. Even Twilight Sparkle since Cadence was her baby sitter, and seeing her happy made her happy.         “Chrysalis, do you promise to cherish, and love Cadence in sickness and in health, for the rest of your life?” Celestia said to the changeling queen.         “I do” she answered.         “And Cadence, do you as well, promise to hold, love and care for Chrysalis for as long as you live?” the Sun Princess asked.         “I do” Cadence answered staring at Chrysalis.         “I now pronounce…wife…and wife. You may now kiss the bride” Celestia announced. “And have sexy lesbian make-out time” she thought and Luna heard her telepathically.         “Sister!” Luna scolded causing Celestia only to smile.         Chrysalis smiled as she leaned in towards Cadence, who leaned in towards her. Both closing their eyes and pressing their lips together, sharing their first kiss. Everyone around them cheered and clapped for them as they kissed, causing Cadence and look shyly to Chrysalis once they broke the kiss.         “That was the most adorable look I’ve seen from you” chrysalis said with a smile.         “Now you can see it whenever you want” Cadence replied as the two wrapped their arms around each other and kissed once more.         The wedding was soon over and reception had been a wonderful success thanks to the Pink Party Pony. Everyone who stayed enjoyed the wedding and wished them well as they left. Even Shining Armor before her left to have his wound checked. Now all who was left was Chrysalis, Cadence, the Princesses, and Atticus.         “So, would you two like the honeymoon suite in the castle before you go to Noraak Thu’m?” Celestia asked as she looked to the happy couple.         “I believe that would be wonderful, don’t you think Chrysalis?” Cadence asked with a smile.         “I whole-heartedly agree…” Chrysalis said smiling as she stood up and scooped Cadence into her arms.         “Y-Yahn! Ch-Chrissy!” Cadence said with a blush and Chrysalis just smiled.         “Third floor, go left, fifth room on the right” Celestia said with a smile and Chrysalis just started walking to the stairs.         “Thank you, and now Cadence, to enjoy the rest of our evening” Chrysalis said looking down to a blushing Cadence.         “O-Ok” she said giving Chrysalis that shy look again. The two went off and the three left behind only smiled as they watched them leave.         “With that, I’m off to bed. This certainly has been the most exciting wedding I’ve ever seen” Atticus said standing and walked towards the direction his room was.         “Rest well” Celestia said as she and Luna watched him walk away. Now it was the princess of the sun and moon left.         “Think about it…those two about to have hot lesbian sex right now” Celestia said smirking to her sister.         “Thou knowest she is family correct?” Luna said raising an eyebrow.         “Hot lesbian sex is hot lesbian sex” Celestia said standing up. “Speaking of which, haven’t you been a little too loud with the wall-eyed mail pony of yours?” Celestia said causing Luna to blush.         “W-We are not!...A-Are we?” Luna said looking to Celestia who just smiled and walked away. “H-HEY!”         In the bedroom of Cadence and Chrysalis, the two were laying with each other, blushing at one another as they thought of…doing it.         “S-So…you haven’t done this before?” Chrysalis asked.         “N-No…you?” Cadence asked.         “N-no…s-so um…w-wanna just…cuddle for now?” Chrysalis asked, feeling a little embarrassed about not knowing what to do.         “Y-Yes…cuddling would be nice…” Cadence felt the same way, both being virgins and having no idea how to start it off. So they just cuddled on the first night, and slept together in each other’s arms peacefully. Author's note: Please leave comments and thumbs if you liked this story ^^
