So I wonder when the switch is going to happen with Chrysalis? Also I am betting that Cadance is pregnant right now and they will hide it from the public some how once they find out it will not be an alicorn.

Now that kind of Gala that Luna would like is what SHOULD be done for the Grand Galloping Gala each time instead of what Celestia does for it.

Across town, Princess Celestia was sitting with Twilight Sparkle and her friends in Joe's pastry shop, sharing a laugh and a plate of doughnuts.

"Hardly, my princess. It's just an eye. Luckily I've been graced with a spare."

Nice 300 reference

The stock photo comment was so wonderful, oh man. I do have a few things worth pointing out, though:

and we have yet to have eaten

mixed tense: "and we are yet to have eaten" or "we have yet to eat"

bonefied suitors

I have a feeling this punny misspelling is not intentional, but I could be wrong.

ala-mode (a la mode is three words, maybe add the tick on the a if you're feeling super fancy)

Who's guarding whom?

I like Echo.

I love the Bender reference.

8865354 Fixed.

"Where we're going, we don't need guards."

I thought Luna was sent to the moon. Not the future.

"What's your name?" Luna asked.

"Echo."

Wait......*does some checking*

MOTHERFUCKER!

Is this all just a big scheme to have a big shared fictional universe?! Not that I'm complaining.

"As my guard," Cadance reminded him. "As far as the public is concerned, I'm still an eligible bachelorette. There are going to be bonified suitors there looking to court me. And you're going to have to let them!"

"Boo- nah!?" he groaned.

*shrug* Better than finding out your uncle from another reality is gonna be assassinated by a team of other alternate reality versions of him.

"Because some damn foal accused you of being the best,"

Considering the situation, the absence of the greatest handshake ever is excusable. Not gonna stop me from putting it here though.

Just Marvel at it.

ok this is a grate chapter and i do mean grate.

Shining was so close, and Luna was so close to what she needs. hopefully this can happen later!?

now my feeling on Echo. she needs her own story at some point i like her that much.

8866019 God damn it

Blah blah blah. Friendship... blah blah blah.

lmao

But, you know, in stomp form.

dude you slay me

Good chapter. A shame that we couldn't see any more convincing going on, but oh well.

The batpony lifted a hollowed-out mango to her lips and drank from the straw sitting in it.

I dunno if you know, but drinking out of a mango skin would just be terrible and difficult. It'd be like holding a bowl made of paper, and after some time, would probably rip just as easily. Even drinking out of a hollowed orange with liquified insides would be more doable.

I don't get it. Help?

8866226 as in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

8866231
Oh, didn't realize that there was a character named Echo. Or maybe I just forgot?

In any case, thanks

8866232 Oh no, I meant my shared fictional universe comment.

You meant Echo. One of Shake's other stories has the exact same character.

8866240
LMFAOOOO ok now I have to try to remember where Echo comes from.

Either I've read too many of Shake's stories and all the characters have blended into one, or I haven't read enough.

Wow! It was nice to have a light-hearted chapter after the soul-crushing defeat of the last one. As somepony who's kind of low-key obsessed with AppleMac occurring alongside Twining, the little dream sequence was quite amusing to me.

8866242
I just checked. She's a very old bat pony OC created by /mlp/. Created in 2013.

Honestly, I have to read this chapter again. It was such a treat to read after the stress of yesterday. There's genuine laugh out loud moments here.

8866221 Fixed.

I see, Luna still a bit rapey like in the original fic. Very bold also! Cadence is right there, she could just turn around and they would be busted.

Celestia: "Luna, I've told you before, these are modern times. You can't just go around having surprise sex with ponies!"

Luna: "I'm not!"

Celestia: "You're trying to do it to me right now!"

Luna: "Surprise!"

I laughed hard at the stock photo part.

"No. No gambling, and definitely no prostitutes."
I know where this is going...

"Blue and white?"
I thought Cadnyass was going to say that's black and gold.

I don't know why but Luna and the three sitting at the table, I pictured them just hooves on the table blankly staring forwards mouths agape, drooling. Fluffle puff style.

With card games and consorts!

If you really want to make a splash, have the card games played on motorcycles.

"Yes. We get it," Luna huffed. "But she could do better than sending the same stock photo of her friends with it every time. What, did she have some kind of bulk discount at the photograph developers?"

Officer, I would like to report shot's fired!

This chapter confirmed a detail that didn't entirely make sense. Incest is one thing, but why write in the stigma against homosexuality? It makes even less sense considering Celestia's relationship with Luna; she's had a millenium to address at least that one issue that she knows will directly affect her.

"She also stole your crown," Sunshine said. Luna's eyes crossed as she looked up at her bare forehead. She looked over at Echo, still sitting at the bar, now wearing Luna's crown and raising her filled mango in a toast.

Absolutely priceless ♡

I love how You make the story work for you. Great chapter

"Oh, her familiar?" Luna asked.

"Eh... sort of..." Celestia said.

Oh wow I never thought of Spike like that.

But now that we have returned, so too have those bad dreams."

"Where we're going, we don't need guards."

"Blue and white?" Shining asked. "But those are my colors." He looked at her and grinned. "And I look pretty good on you."

"Hmm, that you do," Cadance said. "You know what? Fuck it. I'm just going to go naked like Aunt Tia."

"What!?" he blanched.(——

Maybe Shining Alicorn genes are calling to Luna?
Shining giving Luna and Cadance a Alicorn foal would be pretty epic actually...
