Chapter 9 – Breaking in

The gallop that has brought you back towards the castle has made you a bit sweaty, but that's not really the worst thing seeing as how the garbage smell that has mixed with your unbrushed teeth comes over the sweaty stench.

But for right now your mind isn't really set on anything else but getting in, you know it's past noon which is not a good thing. Twilight and you planned to have the wedding after noon, but you figure starting late still means you can have it today.

Your gallop comes to a panting end as the same young two guard ponies take three steps forward as one of them speaks up, "So Shinning, did you find your in-.."

Both of the stallions are struck by a dim bolt of magic as they follow the same wobbly stance as Blueblood, but they both fall to the ground a little harder as they give a low groan in there fainted state.

Rainbow and you are both a little surprised as you watch the pink stallion wasting no time, "Ok I can only hold the bubble spell for a few seconds so you two get in there when its down."

You both nod your heads as Shining's horn glows a bright purple, the sound of his growing magic it only takes a few seconds for his spell to build but as the bolt sticks against the bubble you can already see it starting to mend itself from where the opening has been created.

"GO!"

You and Rainbow quickly dart into the other side of the spell as you both look to Shining as you speak up, "Ok how do we get you in?"

Shining rolls his hoof as he smiles, "You can't do that spell and I can't move when I do it...just have Cadence come get me after the wedding."

You blink to his comment as his voice softens, "You make sure you don't keep my little sister waiting too long..."

You nod to his comment as Rainbow starts to pull on you, "Lets go!"

Rainbow and you both start up in a gallop but a heavy thought rolls through your mind as you look around the tops of the castle walls around you, crap...what if we get caught. The to real thought fuels you to go even faster as you and Rainbow only are inches away from the stairs that lead up to the castle's entrance.

But you're both stopped as a blue barrier comes in front of you both and then encases you two.

A deep voiced stallion wearing gold and silver armor with a helmet comes over as he speaks up holding his hard gaze to you two, "You are trespassing on the royal castle grounds when not permitted are you aware of this?"

"Yes bu-..."

The stallion cuts you off again as he talks, "I am afraid I have to escort you out of this area and you will be lucky if-..."
"StoneGem! Wait!"

To the familiar sounding feminine voice you drop your building spell as you turn your head with a smile to it.

Cadence is wearing a white and gold dress that seems to have crystals stitched into it giving off a bright shimmer of light, but her happy looking dress is nothing like her face and voice as she rushes her sentence, "This is the groom."

The stallion that held the spell around you drops it as he steps back, "I'm sorry, I-I didn't expect you to be outside while the wedding was going on?"

Your ear flicks to the words as you look to Cadence , "Going on?"

The pink mare starts her trot back up quick as she beckons you with her hoof, "YES! What was I supposed to do, tell Twilight that her friend, soon to be husband and her brother were missing!? I told her that you three were having trouble getting..."

Her voice stops as you and Rainbow quickly stop your fast trot up the stairs, her eyes are a small squint as they look you two over, "Ugh, where were you two?" She blinks her eyes back to normal , "Where is Shining ?"

You and Rainbow both point to the way you came in as you both speak up, "He’s in the front but he doesn't look like himself a-..."

Cadence looks to the stallion that hasn't moved as she talks, "Could you get him StoneGem?"

The stallion nods his head as he trots away.

But Cadence's fast walk doesn't come back to her as she speaks up with her horn glowing a faint light blue color, "I figured when I saw your tux that you three hadn't gotten back...but I didn't expect you to look like this."

Her words end as a light chime runs through your ears, to the burst of magic your body tingles and you sway again but you're more fixed on what now hugs your body.

Rainbow holds her hoof to your side as Candace speak up, "I enchanted your tux to me in case I saw you, that's why I was out here...And the clean up spell is easy so you look and smell a lot better."

You move from Rainbow's hoof as you frantically put your hoof to the pocket on your chest, the horn band that you had tucked into it still is at the bottom as you move your hoof over it, "Thank you Cadence."

She nods her head to you but loses her happy expression as she looks to Rainbow, "I wasn't able to get into your room for a dress but at least you look better."

Rainbow waves her hoof as she starts to push at your side, "Forget me, lets get you in there."

The fast paced almost gallop through the hallways of the castle comes to an end as you reach the throne room doors.

Candace's horn glows another faint light blue as the double doors open to the scene inside. Your ears are the first things that bring something to your mind as you listen to the extended version of here comes the bride that's playing in the room. But you waste no time as you start your fast paced walk down the center of the two rows of ponies that sit to each side of you.

Rainbow and Candace have left your side and you're now left with every ponies eyes that have pointed to you, you can tell they all have been here a little longer than they thought they would. But you could care less seeing as most of these faces are unfamiliar to you anyways.

You don't even shift your eyes around the elegantly put together room as you focus your eyes to a white dress blue and purple gem studded mare standing at the end of your walk. Your heart pounds a bit as you feel the scene from your dream from so long ago start to play through...but the room goes silent as you finally reach your spot next to the mare who hasn't even shifted her head to see who everypony else was looking at.

You play with your jaw not knowing if you can speak as you stand next to the lavender mare, your dream was right about two things though...You think over the two things as you look to Celestia standing in front of you with a book floating next to her.

You crack a slight smile as you think, it was right about The holy book of Celestia...and that your wedding day wouldn't be easy.

"...We are gathered here today for..." Celestia's voice starts up in calm but loud tone as she happily moves her head around the faces that lay behind you.

But as you focus on just breathing you move your mind from her words as she continues to talk, you feel your pocket becoming empty as the low chime from the horn band you float up against you lets out the sound that only you, Celestia and Twilight could possibly hear.

You can tell Twilight's eyes have shifted to you with a slight worrying stare to your magic, but for right now your mind is cool and thought of dropping the spell to move your hoof doesn't even come to you as Celestia’s words continue through their course.
