A pale light grayish mulberry coated female unicorn, with moderate violet eyes, moderate sapphire blue mane with moderate violet and brilliant rose streaks, and has a cutie mark that's a pink-purple six pointed star surround by 5 small stars, ran into Canterlot. She ran all the way to the Castle. When, she got there she saw a place where all the guards were getting sent off. No doubt it was her brother Shining Armor. She called, "I've got-"

Before she could finish, she bumped into somepony. She apologized, "I'm so sorry. I didn't see you there."

The other pony dusted herself off. She looked at the unicorn and gasped, "Twilight!"

Twilight looked at the Alicorn weirdly. She laughed, "Twilight it's me Cadence. You know,"

Cadence started doing a little dance and chanted, "Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake! Clap your hooves and do a little shake!"

Twilight's eyes lit up. She exclaimed, "Oh Cadence, it really is you!"

The two hugged each other. When they let go, she said, "Wait a minute! Cadenza, Cadence, you're marrying my brother! !"

Twilight started hopping around Cadence and chanted, "You're marrying my brother! You're marrying my brother!"

She stopped and asked, "Have you seen Shining?"

She shook her head. "Actually I was about to go looking for him. It's so unlike him to not attend royal duties."

That really was unlike him. Cadence added, "Then again, he has been a little stressed. So, I guess it makes sense. C'mon, we'll look for him together."

She nodded and the two went back inside the castle.



They walked for several hours around the castle and didn't see him anywhere. Could he just be around Canterlot somewhere? Did he leave? The two had their heads hung down. Twilight's head lifted up when she saw a familiar figure. She turned her head and it was her brother. She laughed and thought it would be funny if she sneaked up on him.

Unaware what was going, Metamorphosis heard there were mares getting dress in the other room. Since, he wasn't really allowed to be in there, he used his magic to see through the walls. He whispered, "Somepony take off a shirt or something."

Right behind him someone called, "Hey!"

He jumped up and screamed. He saw Twilight smiling at him. He just looked at her. Her smile disappeared. She giggled, "Shining it's me, Twilight."

He exclaimed, "Oh right, Twilight, my…um?" Metamorphosis mentally slapped himself. Smooth move on not asking who he knows.

She answered slightly confused, "Your little sister."

He walked past her and said, "Right."

Cadence smiled sheepishly at Twilight. She stated, "Told you, he was really stressed. He so stressed that he forgot you and a few others. But, I think I speak for the both of us when I say we couldn't be more excited to have you here. Isn't that right, Shiny?"

He looked Twilight deviously and answered, "Absolutely."

She was taken aback but, didn't really think anything of it. He asked, "Would you mind if I come along for that preparations…thing?"

Cadence nodded. The groom and bride walked away. She looked over her shoulder and said, "See you later, Twilight."

Twilight got back into reality and nodded her head. She turned around and started heading towards the kitchen. King Metamorphosis looked back and saw Twilight's plot. He whispered, "She must do a lot of running."



Kitchen

An earth pony that has a light brilliant gamboge coat, pale light grayish olive, and moderate sap green eyes with a cutie mark that has three red apples on her flank, ran the kitchen. She ran across the room making sure everything was okay, Twilight was there, checking off everything. She said, "Cake, check. Ice sculpture, check. Best darn bitesize apple fritter you ever tasted…"

She shoved plopped one into Twilight's mouth. "Mmm. Check."

A purple green baby dragon was playing with the toppers and pretended they were real. He played, "I do, do you? I do!" He started making kissing noises.

Twilight groaned, "Spike!"

She levitated toppers out his hands and he laughed nervously. She heard doors swing open and turned around. The earth pony greeted, "Hiya, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza."

Cadence blushed a bit. Twilight giggled, "Applejack, I think it's fine if you just call her Cadence. Is it?"

She nodded and mumbled, "I actually would prefer it that way."

Applejack tried again, "Alright then. Hiya, Cadence. You two come to check out what's on the menu for ya big day?"

Metamorphosis answered, "We have!"

When Applejack turned around, he rolled his eyes. Twilight noticed this and thought to herself, What's wrong him?

He mouthed to Twilight, 'Nothing's wrong.'

She got a little confused. Cadence levitated an apple fritter into her mouth. She cooed, "That's delicious! Shining you have to try one."

She put one into his mouth without warning. He swallowed it and shivered. The three gave him weird looks. He exclaimed, "It's really great!"

Applejack blushed. "Aw, shucks. Why don't you take a few to go?"

She smiled at them and Cadence happily took the bag. King Meta on the other hand, wasn't so happy. Those things are revolting! How could anypony eat that garbage?

The two left out the kitchen. A guard came by and ordered, "Princess Celestia has asked for your presence Princess Cadence."

She nodded. Then, she remembered she had to check on her dress, not to mention her bridesmaids' dresses. She asked, "Shining, can you do me a favor?"

He answered, "Of course. I'd do everything to you."

"What!"

"I'd do anything for you; is what I said."
