She's no Chrysalis. But this Sour Grape is rotten to the core.

*standing ovation* While not an AppleSpike shipper, it was a touching scene between them, and while more of a MarbleMac shipper myself a lovely SugarMac moment... and I love the use of the song... 90's Don Bluth films are a guilty pleasure of mine which I feel no guilt enjoying.

A beautiful start... wait... sad and mystery tag... things start out very well... and its chapter 1...something is going to very, very wrong.

The unicorn yelled, "Spike! You know it's bad luck to see the bride in her wedding dress!"

I actually know the origins of that. You see historically marriages were arranged often without the two being married having actually met, and sometimes the groom having seen the bride for the first time before the wedding and not liking what he saw called the wedding off, sticking the bride's family with the bride and she would be deemed unmarriable, and at that time was a financial burden to her father and/or brother(s) and it was observed that something ill befell grooms that elected to steal a look of their bride, so falling for the post hoc ergo pocter hoc fallacy and trying to keep a business deal (yes marriages were business deals, in fact the English word 'marriage' comes from an old word for 'merger' in the context of two businesses becoming one) in tack the superstition was developed and fostered.

But yeah, 8318552, is spot on here.

Wow! I did not know that and yet that makes a lot of sense!

I am an amateur history buff.

The moment he would realize he chose the wrong one
Oh, Pear will see she should've chosen me

.... Wait, wait, wait... is Sour Grapes bi-sexual? Or is this a typo?

So, the map put the Apple siblings in danger or something? :applejackunsure: That's what it's looking like to me.

Pinto? Is that suppose to be a comment about Pip's coat coloration? Well, things are about to go bad... BTW will ever find out why Apple Bloom and Tender Taps separated? End of a first crush? Tender moving? Maturing and they didn't really fit together?

I've got a bad feeling about this. :fluttershyouch:

"Poor unfortunate souls"? Really? :ajbemused:

"It's sad but true. If you want to cross a bridge my dear you got to pay the toll."

0-0 Well this does not bold well for AB and Pip... Question how 'big' is Pip now, noticeably shorter than Big Mac but still larger than the average stallion, on par with Big Mac, somewhere between Big Mac and Trobleshoes, on par with Trobleshoes?

judging from the cover art for Sweet Pea, he seems to be a head taller than all the other characters.

8341729
I think he looks more like he's above average

Hey CN12, question, since you employed "Now and Forever", any plans on using 'Don't Make Me Laugh' or 'Looks Likes I Got Me A Friend' in this story unless you already used them elsewhere.

Finally! I was wondering when this story was going to get updated. :yay: Gee, I'm getting this weird sinking feeling that Sour Grape's going to go after Rarity and Featherbangs next. :twilightoops: Wait. Rarity is with the rest of the Mane 6 on a map mission, so she's probably safe, maybe. :applejackunsure: Hold it. What if Sour wrongly assumes that Spike's old crush was Sweetie Belle and goes after her instead? :pinkiegasp: The suspense is killing me.

:fluttercry: That bit with Mrs. Cake contributing to the wedding preparations was a very beautiful touch.

Sour Grape was once a very sweet pony? Judging by the chill that went down my back reading her part, I think we can say not any more.

Suspense. Tension. Now here comes the shocks and thrills.

Well... Tender has been played.
So we have to worry about Spike and Sugar Belle... Why do I get the feeling that Sour Grapes will be stopped in her plan by the three fan-mares... :ajbemused:. So that really leaves Spike.

Well as Meat Loaf once sang, "Two out Three Ain't Bad."

Sour Grapes really lives up the name... why do I get the feeling that before Sour confronts Sugar she'll hear about Marble andat somepoint in the clash between Sugar and Mac, after Sugar brings the rock farmer up, Mac says something to the affect of 'Ah should have married Marble' in a fit of anger almost breaking Sugar Belle's heart in the process...
Nice shout out to Marks and Recreation.

Ugh! My bad feeling just got worse. :pinkiesick:

Uh-oh. The big question is who will Sour Grape bring in to try and tear Big Mac and Sugar Belle apart, Cheerilee or Marble?

8492165
It's only going to get worse before it gets better.... :rainbowderp:

8492984
Sour could use either/or, citing that Cheerilee is very familiar with children and that Marble also has experience with slightly less mature siblings (Cough*Pinkie Pie*Cough)

I know from experience how hard it is to get over your first love but when you meet the right pony then your first love becomes nothing more than a distant memory.

https://m.

Oh, I believe Sour Grape is going to have some difficulty in manipulating Applejack and Spike to break up.

Whelp! Things are not looking good for the Apples... I feel so sorry for Apple Bloom with her new confused state and Big Mac with what's about to happen.

That potion magnified her fears, didn't it? :fluttercry:

Poor Sugar Belle... The poor mare had an identity crisis that an abled a cult leader to strip her of what made her Sugar Belle, had to deal with a couple of stallions fighting over her without realizing the damage they caused until too late, and now magically poisoned by a 'friend' of her fiancee into thinking she's not good enough...

Well, as they say, misery loves company.

Why do I get the feeling that Applejack and Spike will soon figure out that all this started when Sour Grapes entered their lives?

8518622
You mean husband. Not fiancé.

8518642
you know what I mean

So, is the map purposefully endangering the Apples? :applejackunsure: Is it going to be up to the Apples to fix Sour Grape's grudge? Is that why the Mane 6 have been gone for so long? Did Sour Grape somehow remotely mess with the map? So many questions! :pinkiegasp:

8519955
I am was expressing my pity for Sugar Belle, just mentally replaced the word fiancee with the word husband in that comment.

*Reads the last line* :rainbowderp: Well, something is eschewed.

So what are Sour's plans for Applejack and Spike?

8554150
We might get that answer soon. Spike just went off on his own to get Zecora. :pinkiecrazy:

Wait, so Sugar Belle and Tender drank the same potion? Okay then. I just assumed that they drank different potions because it had different effects on them.

Well... things are not looking well for Sugar Belle and for Apple Bloom's relationship. So what's going to happen now? Why are the others so held up where ever they are?
I have so many questions!

Finally... they're onto her.

"We don't know. Only time will tell when they'll be home."

So, the Map was protecting them then? I mean, if the Map hadn't sent the rest of the Mane 6 away, Sour Grape would have had leverage on Spike and AJ.

:pinkiegasp: They know! :duck: But she doesn't know they know. :raritywink: The plot is getting deliciously thick. "evil snicker"

Things are getting to their boiling point... This can only go so well...

(sighs in relief) They know the truth. But is there enough time to strike back before Sour Grape makes another move?
