Chapter 3
Today's the day, the official day Twilight had looked forward to. Twilight rushes her daily routine and has Spike gather her things for her. She opens the window and breathes in the warm air of the day.
“It's gonna be a great day, Spike,” She says. “Not a single cloud in the sky. Those Pegasi sure know what they're doing.”
Twilight turns around to the sound of a thud, to find Spike buried beneath the things she asked for. Twilight levitated the materials off his body. Spike rubs his head.
“Are you sure you need this much stuff? Seems like an awful lot for one day, don't you think?” Spike grumbles.
“Everything needs to be perfect Spike and with these tools, I'm ready for anything.”
“Even this?” Spike asks, holding up a book on Equestrian politics.
“Yes, Spike,” She says, levitating it into her satchel.
“But How-”
“It's not important Spike. Let's just get everything ready for her.”
“I think you're going a bit over board with this, Twilight.”
“Nonsense Spike.”
A creak is hear downstairs, possibly from the door.
“She's here!” Twilight shouts, stuffing everything she needs into her satchel bags and then runs downstairs.
“Hello, Twilight,” Cadence greets Twilight. She too had her satchel bags.
“Are you ready to spend time together today?” Twilight asks with a huge grin.
“Of course.”
Twilight and Cadence leave the library, They spend the first part of their day at the park, playing with the younger fillies and colts, while trying to re live their days as young ones. Then for the second part, they take a visit to Sugar Cube Corner for some treats. This is a chance for Cadence to officially get to know Pinkie Pie as well. Twilight then decides that Cadence should meet – officially- her other 4 friends. Rainbow Dash shows Princess Cadence the Rainboom for the second time, Fluttershy introduces Cadence to the woodland creatures, Rarity shows Cadence her new dress designs, and Apple Jack shows her around Sweet Apple Acres.
So far it's the perfect day for Twilight.
“Princess, Celestia wants to meet with you as soon as possible,” a Royal Guard tells Cadence.
Twilight falls onto her bum and frowns in disappointment.
“Right now?” Cadence asks.
“Yes, Princess.”
Cadence sighs and looks to Twilight. “I'm sorry Twilight.”
“Don't worry, Princess,” Twilight lowers her head, “It's not your fault.”
Cadence gives Twilight a quick hug, “Thank you for understanding.”
Twilight nods, gets up, then walks back to the library. Cadence follows the guard to her chariot, thus returning to Canterlot.
“Wait, I forgot to give her this gift I got her,” says Cadence to the guards. The guards then turn around, flying back to Ponvyille, and landing right in front of the library. Cadence slowly opens the door.
“Twilight, you here?” Cadence asks. Cadence waits a few moments, then decides to look around for her. Cadence opens the first door she finds, creaking it open just enough for her to see.
“If Cadence can't stay for me, then she'll stay to fix the arguments,” Twilight says, looking into the mirror that hangs upon the wall. Twilight focuses her magic, creating a whirlwind of purple light that swirl around her body. Once the spell is over, her new form is revealed. She now takes the form of Dream Caster. A pink hided unicorn mare with blue curled mane and a diamond sparkle cutie mark. “Now I just have to find Corba Force,” Twilight says then turns to see Cadence standing within the door way.
“Twilight Sparkle,” Cadence says, “what do you think you are doing?”
“Princess! I uh. . .”
“Are you the ones purposefully creating problems amongst the couples just for me to come to Ponvyille?” Cadence demands to know.
“I. . . Yes, Princess,” Twilight lowers her head.
“I'm disappointed in you Twilight. Now change back.”
“Okay, Princess.” Purple light dances around Twilight, engulfing her body then fades away, returning her to her normal self.
“Now tell me what this is about.”
“I just wanted to see you more. . . At first it wasn't me, but when I realized that you'd come and stay to help, I looked up a transformation spell in order to go around causing problems so that I could report them to you,” Twilight explains.
Cadence sighs then smiles. “Twilight, you have to understand that I'll always be here for you, but I am a princess after all, I have work to do in Canterlot. And I promise when I have free time, I will definitely come and see you. But you shouldn't be causing problems for other ponies just for me to come here when I have important matters in Canterlot to attend to.”
“I know. I'm so sorry, Cadence.”
Cadence raises her hoof onto Twilight's head, rustling her hair like she did the other day. Twilight smiles, thus dropping to the floor and starting their chant.
“Sun shine, sun shine, lady bugs awake. Clap your hooves and do a little shake.”
Later that night, Twilight is in her room, staring out the window to Canterlot. “Spike, Take a note. Dear Princess Celestia, I have learned a valuable lesson in friendship today. Sometimes you're friends may be busy, and you should respect that, instead of abusing their responsibilities as a way to get your way. Your friends, not matter how busy, will always make time to spend with you, but only when it is appropriate.”
