STORY
Well, this I gotta see. Will Shield's LBBFF Dusk be making an appearance?
I agree with Bolero. Did not see that coming.

Did not see that coming....i hoped for Metamorphosis to won
WHAT DA BUCK!
*flips table*
Mah niggar
2918615 i wonder why that is, hmm
I had a feeling it would end like that, but I love who she ended up with though that was inspired.
2918222 then you need read more fics. I saw that coming long since before she ate breakfast.

meh no idea
2919106 'Tis a mystery, indeed
I can't fucking take R63 Cadence seriously. I just can't.
Dat Gleaming Shield tho...
The moment I saw that it based off the Avatar Shipping Short, I knew it was going be good. I'm surprised Metamorphosis didn't declare to her the old Zuko line; "MY HEART BURNS FOR YOU!!!!!!
" Or Bolero didn't go to Celestia for Aang's little 'therapy session'.
Aside from that it was good. Apart from a few grammatical errors, it was a good read from start to finish.

Hehe, glad you got the idea from what inspired me to do it, and I was so tempted to include that line somewhere but I couldn't rally figure out how I could.
2919312 I suppose it would have been a hard line to get in somewhere without making him come off as well...completely bonkers.
Bolero! You're doing it wrong!

10/10 WOULD SMASH GLEAMING SHIELD

Well played.

Could you blame me?
A Rule 63 version of the what could have happened at the canterlot wedding. interesting. changeling and alicorn fighting over a mare.
could have been if not for the bizarre ending. maybe a spinoff would be possible.
The best irony a story can have! Rating:

Reads through and nears the end... "Okay, okay... Progressing. Wait... Shield isn't? No... WHAT THE FU*BOOOOOOOM*"
That was bloody brilliant.
And that END! Haha! Perfect!
Nicely done, man.

Before reading: Kick his ass Metamorphosis you got this!
After reading: I'VE BEEN BAMBOOZLED!!!

Wow...just wow...the ending...
......
I don't know what to say.....
A fun little story, but it could use a little work.
In spots.
Still funny, though.
So, back when Gleaming said about it I predicted she was a lesbian. I was right.
Didn't expect rule 63 Big Mac, but I did predict her being a lesbian, I love that. Big Mac, getting all the mares, even when also being a mare. 
feelings on?
Big Mac gets all the bitches. Even when he's a mare.
You've got to admit, being pink isn't exactly threatening. And the ending! Even I didn't expect it! But seriously, Metamorphosis was being serious, when he called Bolero pink. You just can't be serious, or taken seriously when you're pink.
Oh, and here:
This made my day. And that ending was freaking hilarious!!!
-R33 ponies
-anthro
-not clop
I am so confused right now. Good fic though.
2918615me too
