Susanna Lovington was just another ordinary eighteen year old girl; she went gaga over boys until she found the one that she really wanted. She was a well built girl who had shoulder length dark brown hair, light green colored eyes, and polished nails that most other girls would kill to have. She would spend her down time either online with her friends in a chat room or she would go out and window shop with whoever was available. She even checked the news whenever she was bored out of her mind like the majority of her friends, most of who didn't bother to do even that.
Unlike most girls she actually had a boyfriend, one who was very protective of her to the point where he literally told her he would guard her with his life. Her boyfriend, an eighteen year old guy by the name of Jordan Miller, was actually a sweet guy who worked in the gym for personal reasons and for a job. He took karate so he could defend not only himself from attacks, but also the girl whose heart he had won once upon a time. Susanna had joked at times that he sounded like Shining Armor from MLP FIM at times, to which he replied that she would be Princess Cadence then.
Right now she was sitting on her bed, scrolling through the news articles on her laptop while the night ticked away. She was trying to discover where each of the ponies who had arrived were at the moment and the known locations of any powerful artifacts. From her research she knew that Nightmare Moon was somewhere before the Arizona-Nevada border with two human members of the New Lunar Republic. Discord was still in Las Vegas, which meant it was a fixed location that was beckoning his rivals to come to his lair and challenge him.
She yawned, at the moment it was only eight o'clock and she was bone tired. It was Friday night and instead of partying with her friends she was thinking of turning in early for once. With a second yawn she turned off her laptop and put it on her desk before climbing under the pink sheets, allowing herself to drift off into a dream. She always dreamed about hanging out with Princess Cadence and Shining Armor, so she hoped that history would repeat itself once again.
~Seattle~
Sombra misstepped for a second, his mind feeling a disturbance in the world that could only mean one of a few mentionable things. He was connected to magic, so if somepony who was equally connected to magic arrived in the world he would know about it. Nightmare would not know, seeing how Luna was trapped deep in her and had no hope of escaping unless the Elements were gathered. But the reason for his misstep was the fact that he felt the familiar presence of Princess Cadence enter the world.
Sombra grinned; now that he knew Princess Cadence was here he could truly begin preparations for her arrival in the Crystal Empire dungeons. She and her husband would be spending the majority of their time in the dungeons until he broke them and forced them to bend their knee. He would create an empire that would beckon the two of them to Seattle, where he could trap and torture them until they were his slaves.
~Susanna's house, six o'clock in the morning~
The early morning rays reached into Susanna's room, washing over her bed as they beckoned her to get up and start a new day. She squirmed under the sheets, turning so she didn't have the beams in her face and so she could get some more sleep before she really started the day. She felt a strange pain, a small one, on her side, but she dismissed it as she fell back asleep for a minute or two. Only reason she couldn't stay asleep was because her bloody cell phone happened to go off as it received a call.
Normally she would ignore the Gangnam style ringtone she had set up, but for once she wasn't in the mood to listen and brought her head up. She reached to her nightstand, where she usually kept her cellphone, and knocked the phone right onto the ground. Granted she had yet to open her eyes, but she knew better then to knock her phone onto the ground, which now meant she had to open her eyes and actually get up. She stared at her hand and was both shocked and scared to find it replaced with a pink hoof that was wearing a small golden horseshoe.
"Holy buck..." she began, only to stop when she didn't recognize the voice.
She looked over at her large sized mirror and was equally shocked to see who it was that was staring back at her; it was none other than Princess Cadence. She tore the sheets off of her and looked down at herself, finding the familiar pink body of the Princess of Love. On her flank was the same crystal heart surrounded by a golden frame cutie mark, while her mane and tail were colored with a dark purple, hot pink, and cream section. She was even wearing the same golden necklace and crown that Cadence was seen wearing in the show. Her wings twitched, which made her remember that she had slept on one of them on accident for a few minutes before her phone went off.
Oh my Celestia, she thought, I've become Princess Cadence.
Then she remembered that she had knocked her phone onto the ground, so she scrambled out of her bed and hit the floor hard with a thud. She was thankful that her parents were heavy sleepers, otherwise her hitting the floor would have woken them up and they would have come running to investigate. Before she even began to struggle with her legs she noticed her phone laying on the ground to her left and sighed, she was lucky to have gotten to it quickly. Her horn barely ignited as she focused on the item, intending to bring it to her so she could answer whoever was on the other side.
"Hello?" she asked, hoping whoever was on the other side was still there, "Is anyone there?"
"Susanna? Its Jordan," her boyfriend said, though he sounded strangely like Shining Armor, "I know this is going to sound strange, so I'm asking that you don't laugh at me. I woke up a few minutes ago and found myself in the body of Shining Armor. I've got his shield cutie mark, his light blue eyes, his pure white coat, and even his light blue and blue colored mane and tail. Celestia almighty, I even sound like him.
I called because I remembered that you always said that I was Shining Armor, the knight that would defend his wife from any harm. I figured that maybe you would have some words of comfort for me, seeing how something like this hasn't happened to us before. I mean, I'm just the dumb body who loves to exercise, watch My Little Pony in his free time, and pretend he's someone that he's not."
"Oh come on Shiny, don't be like that," said a second voice on the other side, one Susanna could have sworn belonged to Twilight Sparkle, "You know that Cadence wouldn't let you say that in front of her. What do you think she would tell you if she were actually here?"
"Tell her that Cadence would say she loved him anyway," Susanna replied, smiling as she heard two gasps on the other side, "What? Am I not allowed to know what my favorite character would say in such a situation?"
"You can say that, but your voice is all wrong." Jordan said in alarm, "You sound almost like Cadence does."
"I'll...um...tell you later," Susanna shied away from the fact that she WAS Princess Cadence now, "How about we meet at the park in an hour and I'll see how you look in Shining's body."
Before Jordan or his little sister could respond to her comment Susanna ended the call and closed her phone, her nerves fried. She wanted to tell her boyfriend the truth, that she was technically Shining's wife and they were, in effect, now husband and wife. It was also ironic, Jordan had a seventeen year old sister by the name of Alex and she had become Twilight Sparkle, Shining's little sister. She and Jordan were fated to be married one day, not because they were a married couple in Equestria, but because they truly loved each other.
She only hoped that Jordan would be happy to see her when they met at the park later.
