Transform into her and dance. Try to make Cadance smile, smile, smile! You remember a certain happy-go-lucky pink pony that planned the wedding reception. You saw her during one of your "stakeouts" (At least that's what your superiors thought, you actually just went out to watch a movie or play a video game.) Whenever that pony would walk ( and by walking you mean hopping) by you, she would always be smiling and giving the city folk a good laugh. Which is pretty good, considering the entire cities population is a bunch of snobs. So maybe if you transform into her, then maybe the bride will stop crying. You use your transform spell, and look over at the mirror on the desk to see that you have successfully transformed into the pink pony. You look over at the bride to see that she is still crying, and when you see that, something snaps inside of you. You suddenly hear this song in your head and...you begin to sing!!! My name is $#^#%%# (Hello!) and I am here to say (Please get better'?) I'm gonna make you smile and I will brighten up your day The bride stops crying and looks up at you shocked. You start to dance around her, hopefully to make her smile. It doesn't matter now (Smile please?) if you are sad or blue (That's it!) 'cause cheering you up is just what I'm gonna do The bride starts to get a huge smile on her face, and for some reason, that makes you smile too. 'Cause I want to make you smile, smile, smile (Yes I do) it fills my heart with sunshine all the while (Yes it does) 'cause all I really need's a smile, smile, smile from you I like to see you grin (Awesome!) It would be cool to see you beam (Rock on!) the corners of your mouth turned up is what I want to see (Hoof-Bump!) The bride gives you a hoof-bump, and then she starts to dance with you. Her smile is even bigger then before, and so is yours. But if you're kind of worried and your face has made a frown I'll work real hard and do my best to turn that sad frown upside down 'Cause I love to make you grin, grin, grin (Yes I do) busted out from ear to ear, let it begin just give me a joyful grin, grin, grin and you fill me with good cheer It's true, some days are dark and lonely and maybe you feel sad but I will be there to show you that it isn't that bad The music you hear tempo goes down for a little bit, but then it starts to pick up again. The bride starts to laugh when you do a silly little dance, and you can't help but laugh with her. There's one thing that makes me happy and makes my whole life worthwhile right now and that's when I talk to my first real friend and I get to see you smile The bride looks shocked that you said that, but then she smiles and starts to dance again. You don't know why you said that, but you know that you meant it. She's your first friend... you start to cry tears of joy at that thought. I really am so happy your smile fills me with glee I give a smile, I get a smile and that's so special to me 'Cause I love to see you beam, beam, beam (Yes I do) tell me, what more can I say to make you see that I do? it makes me happy when you beam, beam, beam yes, it always makes my day Come on buddy smile, smile, smile! fill my heart up with sunshine, sunshine all I really need's a smile, smile, smile from this happy friend of mine! Come on buddy smile, smile, smile! fill my heart up with sunshine, sunshine all I really need's a smile, smile, smile from this happy friend of mine! Yes a perfect gift for me is a smile as wide as a mile to make me happy as can be smile, smile, smile, smile, smile! Come on and smile! come on and smile! And with that the song stops playing and you fall down on your rump. You look in the mirror to see that your transformation fell off when you were singing, but you don't care your to happy that you have a actual friend. You look over to her to see that she is smiling still, you get up and walk over to her. Then you do something unexpected... Engage hug mode. Awkward Hug time. Dude, I know you were part of an invasion to take over equestria and turn every pony into love batteries, but come on! Surely your not going to let an innocent filly cry are you? Give her a (albeit awkward one) hug, even changelings have hearts. You hug her. She gasps in surprise, but then you see her wrap her hooves around you. "Thank you, I really needed that." She tells you, still hugging you. A few minutes later your hug ends, and you are seen standing across from the bride. You also tell her thanks for saving you from those guards. "Don't mention it, after all what are friends for." She tells you. Friends, it feels nice having a friend. You think to yourself. Explain that you don't recall everything that happened at the wedding, but that you don't want to be a bad changeling anymore. With her help, you may be able to fit in with these ponies. You tell the bride that you don't recall everything that happened at the wedding, but that you don't want to be a bad changeling anymore. She smiles at you and says "I don't care if you don't remember what happen all that matters is that your alive and that you are going to be good. Not that I thought you were evil in the first place." Wait, ask if she was the one who gave you the Inventory. You can't help but ask her if she was the one who gave you The Inventory. She shakes her head and says "I didn't give you that saddle bag, but whoever did must be a very powerful pony. This kind of enchantment takes alot of power to cast." Huh, so there is a powerful pony out there that gave you The Inventory... you don't know if you should be thrilled or terrified about that fact. The bride gives you a brown pouch and says "That pouch has thirty Bits in it. Consider it my thank you gift for saving me." You are about to give the pouch back when the bride tells you that she won't take no for an answer. She then starts to power-up her magic. "It's not safe here, you need to go someplace that you can stay that doesn't have any guard portals." She then puts on a "thinking face" probably thinking of a place you can go to. "Ah ha, I got it, I'll see you later Bugze." You are about to ask her why she called you "Bugze" when she then says "Oh, my name is Cadance by the way." After she said that, you see a flash of pink light. The next thing you know, your in an alleyway. You can see a billboard from were your standing that says "Welcome To Ponyville." "Huh," you say to yourself, "So that's where Cadance sent me. You decide to check The Inventory since nothing is trying to capture you at the moment. Strange Armor 'Royal Canterlot Voice For Dummies' 'How to be A Gentle Colt 101' The entire Sherclop Holmes series, as well as all fifty-six short stories 'Stun Spells and You' Brown pouch with thirty Bits in it Nodding to yourself after making sure you have everything, you start to look around. You don't know what you should do or where you should go. What do you do?
