It's date night for your parents. Which means you have a babysitter watching you tonight. Yet, this babysitter is different from the others. She's Princess Cadance, the newly crowned royalty-in-training. She loves her job. Perhaps, too much.
She increases her speed and swoops down low over a pond outside the castle. The calm water speeds past you and reflects the image of you and Cadance, like a shimmering mirror. Reaching out your hand, you dip your fingers into the water, creating a wake that ripples through the glassy surface. Fish leap out of the water, following you and the princess, suspecting your disturbance is the sign of a midnight snack.
7240125 I don't see Cadence as evil in this. Just extremely passionate, as a princess of love should. That doesn't justify her actions but evil is a stretch. Sure she plots and plans, but they're not diabolical. Even in this chapter, she didn't want the stallion to try and rape Anon(us). The only thing she's done that you could actually consider evil might be sabotaging the parents marriage but it's not like it was a peachy marriage in the first place. But all her other actions have been for the good of both Anon and her.
7240752 Hmm... maaaaaaybe. I can see it being passionate, but in some eyes its not a good thing, and I know this will come back to bite her in the ass, Celestia or even Luna will eventually put two and two together.
... Y'know... There was a time I thought this story couldn't possibly go any darker...
But I have a feeling that you're about to prove me wrong.
I suppose the only saving grace this time around is that Anon being missing will most likely end up bringing his family back together. Hopefully anyway.
On a side note, did anyone else have "A Whole New World" ringing inside their head during the fishy pond scene? I know I did.
7239549 Hmm... This story is about Anon and Cadence and it's an alternate universe. Nothing in the shows cannon needs to actually happen at all. That being said, if this story "follows cannon" or doesn't, then anything can happen. Why? Because, it's alternate universe and the author says so.
The calm water speeds past you and reflects the image of you and Cadance, like a shimmering mirror. Reaching out your hand, you dip a hoof into the water, creating a wake that ripples through the glassy surface. Fish leap out of the water, following you and the princess, suspecting your disturbance is the sign of a midnight snack.
Hands! Handy dandy little things to have ain't they? Looks like you've got the 0.6 alpha version and instead of fingers you've got hooves, would to upgrade to the newer software?
7246457 it's fine, these things happen. It's better that you're doing typos like that rather than spouting pony nonsense everywhere you go by accident. Also you're in a "safe" environment with hundreds of people to help point out the things you miss, and you will miss something everybody does.
7246833 Them's some mighty large parentha-thingies ya got there, did'ja mean that on purpose? Also: good eye, I didn't catch any typos on my way through, though I suspect I was reading the edited version since I have little free time to catch up on my favorite stories as of late.
I... despise Cadance. She's far too intelligent for her own good (and for the good of those surrounding her, evidently). The fact that she has not only Anonymous, but also a good portion of the readers and commenters in her hoof just proves how manipulative and conniving she is.
At the end of the day, she hired a child molester in order to make herself appear the hero, personally tore apart Anon's family so he would depend upon her, and raped him and other foals repeatedly, blackmailing them and their families and using her influence in order to force their silence. She is hardly different from the stallion she vilified, she only puts on a better facade and is ridiculously patient as opposed to simply taking what she wants without regard for consent.
Truly, she is one of the most twisted characters I've read about on this site, and I enjoy that she can tease out so many emotions from others, being much more three-dimensional than your average serial predator would be presented. Still, all that said, fuck Cadance.
Anyway, enjoyed the chapter as always! I still want Cadence to win in the end. She's a little bit like an anti-hero, but one I'm rooting for all the way :P
For the sake of all that is unholy, I fervently disagree. I want her and her various unspeakably corrupt crimes to be exposed at the end of all of this. I won't pretend I have the greatest moral compass, but there are far too many examples of just how despicable a character Cadance is for me to even think of cheering her on.
She is nowhere near a hero, she isn't even anywhere near an anti-hero. She's a villain, a fiend, simply put. And her victims are not only children, but, by her charismatic and faux-sympathetic nature, evidently the audience as well. She is a sociopath through and through, but regardless I applaud her ability to mold basically anyone to her will. Allowing readers to be inside the mind of someone as vile as this was a magnificent way to play on the average readers' sympathy. Good move on the writer's part.

You know, there's a joke in there somewhere, but Trixie would have my head on a platter if I made it, so I'll leave it up to someone who doesn't have the best character in the franchise as their waifu to make the obvious joke there. How am I getting away with reading this story, you might ask? Simple. I'm skipping over the X-Rated stuff, and treating this as a look into the psyche of people who prefer younger people rather than people in their own age group. So far, I, much to my despair, kinda get it, in that younger people are easier as they don't have the same level of life experience. Heck, even a sixteen year old could theoretically be manipulated like Cadence has managed to do with Anon. At least the whole, "I care about you during this trying time" part, especially if Cadence was then able to engineer a trying time after gaining that foal's complete trust. Which, with a social outcast of any age, is going to be ridiculously easy. Unless they have Aspergers. Then they're liable to ignore every attempt at seduction that Cadence makes. Like, seriously. EVERY ATTEMPT. Cadence could show up to the foal's house for the babysitting job and wait until after the parents leave and then take all of her clothes off, and walk in front of the television while the foal's playing video games, and he/she'll just tell her to walk faster or sit down somewhere so that they can see the screen again and continue to play... say... Spider-Mare: Shattered Dimensions. Why? Because the foal in question just wouldn't care all that much about her, or anyone that isn't in their nuclear family, for that matter. Especially if all of the babysitters quit after one night. The foal would just think that it would be a matter of time until Cadence quit as well. Not to even mention the increased intelligence that the foal would have in a specific area to counteract the loss of intelligence in the area of social interaction. Depending on where that excess intelligence gets put for the foal in question, the first time that Cadence tried anything with the foal in question could easily be the last time.
7240780 Wait... Luna's back? Here I was under the impression that what Cadence has been doing has been before Luna's return, making it so that this would turn out to be a "The Devil You Know" type of a situation for Celestia! Because, if you remember correctly, the crystal said
“Allow him a family. He will be loved. He will be cherished. However, he will face hardship and pain at royal hooves.”
in the beginning of this fic
[Adult story embed hidden]
, and Celestia was the one to raise the moon earlier,
As you make your way down to the front door, you cross paths with Princess Celestia, who is preparing for a full moon this evening. She pauses to smile and nod at you, and you give her a small respectful bow in return.
[Adult story embed hidden]
, so, I had come to believe that the crystal was either referring to Cadence, (as we have seen what she has done already), or, since I thought that Luna wasn't back yet, that if Anon was taken away from Cadence, that he'd end up getting tortured by Nightmare Moon when she came back, because he is, in actuality, just as different as night is from day,
It had no language, no home, nor recognizable form. There was a beating heart, a steady breath, and an unknown magic within him. He may as well be anonymous, as no pony, nor land has claimed him.
[Adult story embed hidden]
, yet he has people who love him and who care about him, while Nightmare Moon will believe that she doesn't. Of course , there's always option number three: he gets taken away from Cadence, what I've predicted will happen with Nightmare Moon happens, Cadence somehow feels the pain that Anon is in, uses the strength that the ensuing rush of adrenaline would give her to break out of whatever containment that she was put in, she then flies to his rescue, only to find that she's to late, and that he's critically wounded, with no way to get him to a hospital in time, at which point she loses control of herself and a battle the likes of the following Death Battle happens, in which Cadence takes the place of Amy Rose, and Nightmare Moon takes the place of Ramona Flowers.
I chose this one because Cadence would have the advantage of having just seen a loved one die right in front of her, which would increase the adrenaline that was already flowing through her veins.
It's alive. But really, this is starting to remind me of another fic with a princess. Can't remember the name though.
the plot thickens
7239133 Has she really been eating that much cake?
I thought Anon is a pony, not human?
7239182
Probably a simple typo.
Damn those many-fingered ponies!
7239191
That would be creepy though.
That flying scene:
A WHOLE NEW WOOORLD~!
Geez, I'm sure it's already been said, but Yandere!Cadance is fucking scary...
7239240 scary but hot
7239191 I noticed it too. Probably should fix that
7239109 Absolute Power?
Things are getting spicy. Cadence is gonna screw up somehow.
I bet that the creep gives her away in the end :P
7239574 yeah, thanks bro.
So this would be about the time things go horribly wrong? Looking forward to more.
Keep up the good work. Deus tecum.
7239182
7239191
FIXED. AAAAHHH. IM SO TRASH.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Why do i get the feeling that she's actually Chrysalis? I guess Cadence a bit like Queen Chrysalis.
Nice. I love it.
Maaaaaan, this Cadence is so eviiiiiiiiiiiiiiil... I love it~
Loving how this is going, nicely done man, hehehe.
Maaan, all Cypress had to do was keep it in his pants 8D
Yandere Cadence ftw
Seriously one of the Coolest Stories iv Found on here Good Job...Yeah

Also... Deathclaw?
7240752 It's still fucked up...
Can't wait for the other princesses reactions.
7240780 Oh yeah, her ass is going to look like a shark attack with how bad it's going to bite her in the ass.
XD, And the profile pic is Clover from Cloverfield. It's sort of a promotion thing for my story Lillyvalley
What I would give to switch places with anon...
... Y'know... There was a time I thought this story couldn't possibly go any darker...

And I shudder to think of little Anon's reaction once he realizes who Cadance really is.

Daaa dum... daa dum...
OOoooh, hehe, sorry, looks like a deathclaw to me XD

7239691 Probably not. Celestia seems to trust her(though we've seen Celestia has crappy judgement anyway) later on.
7239852 hey guess what?

Oh, Cadbert Cadbert. I really can't see how you and little Nonlita are going to work out.
Playing my emotions like a fiddle here.
I haven't felt these crazy ups and downs this way in a long time.
I've got a feeling that she'll get caught
Cadance is a Yandere!!!! Not to mention that she's crazy might I add. She hired him!! She's crazy, but so far I like this story.
Missing a space and a period.
Cadence is slowly going past the creepy pedo to dangerously scary axe murderess
Well. Cadence channeled her inner Punisher in this chapter!
(If you couldn't tell, I really liked the scene where she tortured the stallion who hurt Anon in this chapter.)

Finally, after all of my other comments on this chapter, here's a song for the last sentence of this chapter!
I was wondering when I'd be able to put this song into a comment on this story.
7239985
So... what you're saying is that she should find and kill him to keep the number of people who know the secret to two? Good thinking!
There is an error this line makes no sense consider rephrasing it.
8765710
Yeah, this one was strange. It wasn't an important sentence thankfully. I've put a fix in.
7338061
Have you met the rich... haha
