Sweetiebelle blinked, staring up at the white horn before noticing that Princess Luna had gotten a lot smaller after falling in the mud at the start of the race.
She blinked again and wiped a hoof across the mud covered flank, showing a white coat and three blue diamonds.
“Rarity? “ Sweetiebelle squeaked as the unicorn's horn glowed, the mud sluicing from her form revealing a pair of fairly well crafted fabric wings attached to her back to give the illusion of being an alicorn.
“What?”Sweetiebelle blinked.” Where's Luna?”
A moment later a ball of energy rose out of the mud pit and floated over to solid ground before landing with a faint pop revealing the unmuddied Princess of the Night.
“What?”
“We switched places at the first obstacle.” Rarity explained.
“So I ran the whole race with you......”Sweetiebelle blinked looking over to Applejack and Applebloom as they ran in the next heat. “Why? I didn't even think you were coming?”
“To be honest I had this planned out a little before you asked and I didn't quite want to ruin it.”Rarity offered. “Plus you had already stated you were going to participate with Princess Luna.”
Sweetiebelle blinked.
“So we ran the whole race together with you covered in mud...” Sweetiebelle was still trying to process this. “ Why?”
“Well you were mad at me for not doing anything with you I thought...” Rarity began.
“I'm not mad at you cause we don't do anything together, I'm mad at you cause when we do do something together it turns out to be like the Gala or my fifth birthday party.” Sweetiebelle squeaked out in anger. “ You make it more about you, than about us doing something.”
Rarity blinked looking down at Sweetiebelle who was clearly more agitated than happy her sister had joined her in this event. Rarity also took note her sister held a grudge for a long time.
“I do not try to do things like that, and for the record I have explained to you quite often what happened on your fifth birthday and you still do not believe me.” Rarity sighed frowning herself. “I do have my own life Sweetie and while what I did at the Gala was uncalled for I am still trying to do my best to make sure you are still a part of it.”
Sweetiebelle stared at Rarity. “You still don't get it!”
Rarity rolled her eyes at that. “ Then please enlighten me Sweetiebelle.”
“I know you try to do things with me, and I know you care, but every time something big comes up that I want to do you can't, or every time you invite me to something it's for your benefit!”
“Well you invited me to this and I came.” Rarity added.
“Well..... yeah... that's a start.... but did you have to be so dramatic about it?”Sweetiebelle sighed.
“Dear, me dramatic?” Rarity frowned as Sweetiebelle stared. “ Fine... perhaps I could tone that down a bit. Rahs seems to be trying for the towns drama queen harder than I am.”
Both of them looked over to Rahs who was overreacting to the cuteness of the Filly scouts trying to sell him cookies, going through a grand three part death scene clutching his chest. Spike was just eating the box of short bread he already gave the five bits for.
“I am trying Sweetie, that's the best I can do.” Rarity sighed.
“So it seems that thou do need more then the quick fix thee envisioned Rarity.” Princess Luna spoke up.
“I never expected a quick fix.”Rarity sighed.” I wanted her to know I am trying though.” Rarity looked down at Sweetiebelle with a small smirk that was returned.
“Excellent, then we shall do what we can to help!” Luna cheered, grabbing both of them and bringing them into a bone crushing hug. Rarity flailed as the life was choked out of her, Sweetiebelle simply sighed as if used to it. “It shall be glorious to have two younger sisters with which to assist and care for.”
“What!?” Rarity gasps.
“She's very huggy.” Sweetiebelle deadpanned.
Rahs face paws from the stands watching the goings on. You couldn't help hear Luna really, he also refused to call Rarity auntie either.
WHAP!
“What!?” Luna demanded as the newspaper slapped her on the back of the head, held in the golden glow of magic. It was enough for her to release Rarity and Sweetiebelle.
“Stop adopting every pony you think is cute.” Celestia stated as she strode up still popping Luna with the newspaper.” Do you know how much paper work you are already giving me with that?”
“We cannot help it, it is adorable!” Luna protested swatting the newspaper away with a huff.
“No!” Celestia frowned.”It is a bad habit. The Sparkles, the Reignolds, and that one noble...”
“That last one was a joke in order to make him worried. We simply said some pony clearly didn't raise him properly and perhaps we should adopt him in order to properly raise him correctly with manners.” Luna rolled her eyes.
“Lulu.....”
“At least we work to make their lives better, all thine vices do is make thine posterior larger.” Luna scoffed. “Do not think we didn't notice thee signing us up for the cupcake eating contest, just so thou could solo it.”
“I have no idea what you are talking about.” Celestia protested.
“Hey, Amber Waves, I got the new batch of cupcakes for the contest. I have no idea how you cleared out those first two thousand so quick.” Pinkie Pie yelled as she trotted up balancing a massive stack of boxes on her head.
Princess Celestia's head turned following the bouncing stack of boxes with a predatory gleam in her eyes before a newspaper slapped her on the back of the head.
“No, bad Tia.” Princess Luna smirked holding the newspaper.
Princess Celestia glared at her sister who only smiled.
“Umm excuse me Princesses.” Purple Mountain hesitantly stated, flinching as both Princesses turned to look at her.” We are preparing for the last run of the race course and your names are both on a ticket for a run.”
Luna looked at Celestia and the pair smiled.
“Certainly.” Princess Luna offered.
“Who are we competing against? Princess Celestia asked.” And is the cupcake eating contest still going on afterward?”
“That would be me.” Twilight Sparkle stated, trotting up to the two princesses wearing a blue bandanna around her neck.
Luna, Celestia, Rarity and Sweetiebelle all stared at Twilight curiously.
“We were unaware though had a sister Twilight.” Luna stated.
“She doesn't.” Celestia sighed.” Twilight this had better not be Rahs in a dress again.”
“YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS I LOOKED BETTER THAN YOU IN THAT DRESS AND YOU KNOW IT!”
“Of course not, he's over there on the stands making a fool of himself.” Twilight stated before pointing to a white unicorn mare with a blue mane and tail trotting up to her also with a blue bandanna around her neck looking more than a little embarrassed to be there.
“I cannot believe you talked me into this Twili.” Shining Armor sighed.
“Oh you know you love it... Gleaming Shield.” Twilight grinned. “ Besides you owe me for not telling me about the engagement.”
“I sent you a bunch of letters.” Shining sighed. “ Cadence is a little freaked out it seems as of late, she acts like she's avoiding me.”
“Pre wedding jitters probably.” Pinkie Pie stated from the middle of the group. Everyone jumped back not having seen her or the gray furred purple maned mare in the smock even walk up to the group.
“Pinkie Pie, what?” Twilight asked.
“Me and Maud are gonna be racing too!” Pinkie Pie cheered bouncing up and down as her sister looked on impassively.
“Umm okay if you would all head to the starting line.” Purple Mountain squeaked out. “ We can start.”
“Ummm, Sweetiebelle and I are just going to go.... over here and watch ...” Rarity blinked wondering if there was a reinforced bunker some where they could hide in.
The group trotted over to the starting line with Twilight and Princess Celestia trading smack talk and Luna doing her best not to laugh at 'Gleaming Shield'.
Purple Mountains shuddered looking over to her own sister. Both of them silently wondering who they could foist this event off on next year.
It was always an annoyance that it isn't sibling hood social in the show.
Well, wasn't expecting Sparkle and Gleaming to participate. And from the sounds of it, it seems as if Chrysalis may have already replaced Cadance.
Umm, Chrissy better be VERY careful on going in this! Rahs LIKES the taste of Candy's magic AND knows what it tastes like
This'll be good
Oh, good. No more musical to interrupt the picnic.
Hmm? So Maud made her appearance this early in the story. Wonder if she would attend the Wedding too. She would be a great help in navigating the crystal cave.

You are forgetting Rahs's Nose. ALL Ponies, save for those who have Predator Ancestors Smell like Prey to him, and Saturnia or whatever her name is doesn't smell like the usual ponies with such bloodlines to Rahs. As Rahs knows quite Well, what Cadence Smells like, he will notice quite easily... Unless she masks her smell with an ungodly amount of perfume, shampoos and other things.
Smart move
9548617
I mean, I assume she’ll find someway to mask it. This chrysalis seems to be very good at strategizing
9548654
Wonder what her plan this time will be though as with Cadence and Shining Armor's usual Shenanigans, I am sure a few days without rest is nothing too him added to the fact Rahs has helped him make his shield near unbreakable. If he can't bite through it. I am sure a few thousand Changelings smashing into it will be nothing. And I am sure even if they tried using a weapon made from the same stone as Chryssy's throne, see again Shield Immunity to Magical Disruption thanks to Rahs who had Discord his own Personal Chewtoy as a Witch Wold when in Canon even Discord could not beat that throne.
Then let's add in ANY Possible Gods who might be attending. We have Bleu, Goddess of Wind/Storms. Shining Armor is her son's adoptive Brother so she might attend. Then there is King Kaz, King of the Minotaurs and God of Fire who has friendly relations with Equestria so why wouldn't he be invited for a Royal Wedding. And then Possible other Quests. Spike, in his infinite teasing of Rahs and his Non-Existent Love Life, may convince him to bring a Plus one and convince him to make it Trixie. And as shown in the past, Trixie can tell who is a Changeling, due to her mastery of illusion, just by looking at them. Then there is Jynx/Jinx. She can also smell a changeling and damn well knows what they are.
Quite Frankly Chrysalis is FUCKED. And this is before Twilight gets pissed off that someone decided to go after one of her brothers.... AGAIN.
Naturally
I can

There is one other element here...Saturna seems surprising smitten with Rahs and will potentially turn on her mother when she is forced to reveal the truth about herself.
In theory if Shining and Armor are going to marry, Cadence could be better as a sister
Lol catdog in drag
9548564
It seems so, yeah... and she's panicking because of Rhas and Twilight "remodels forestswith dragons" Sparkle. I'm guessing she's just going to say "fuck it" at the wedding, release Cadence and ask for mercy. Or better yet, just hightail it to Yakistan
Are you going to use the comic material at all? It won't matter until next season, if you even have plans for next season, but some of the comic arcs were really great works, like The Return of Queen Chrysalis. It was honestly one of Twilight's most badass moments. And Spike with the eyepatch and the trident was still cool
Just (I'm guessing) "Putting your Paw Down" left before the wedding, if I remember correctly, too.
9549550
yes but paw has been used in a title already.
Heh, maybe Pinkie would take it.
9550273
There is that. Rahs it is.
9550410
Well, you logiced it better than I did. Logically, you are correct and to disagree would be quite dumb.
9550429
Also true.
9550496
Nah, magic eating would win. I mean, even after changing to normal from being a witch wolf, he still gave Discord a hard time. Tirek is screwed.
9550512
Quite possibly.
9550521
No, I haven't, but the description has me hooked already. Imma hafta read it after I finish catching up with the stories I already have to read.
9549753
So is that a yes or no on comics material?
9551524
Already planned to use some of it.
And, again, not much to say here, pretty much saw the main plot coming, and the added stuff was fun.
Though, the Social is way more then just three years old.
You do not turn down Filly Scout Cookies! They will not take 'no' for an answer.
D'awwwwww, nice to see Sweetie realizing she mises Rarity.
Nice bit of fun with the event planners names!
On the one hoof..... how the buck do you not notice that massive a change in size between Luna and Rarity? On the other hoof.... it IS Sweetie Belle, and the only thing worse then her perception checks, is her Craft: Edible food skill.
And yes, Rahs is awesome, Rarity, you will just have to settle for being Drama Princess.
"Bad Tia" Poor Celestia, kind of feels like she's getting the shaft this season, every chance possible is taking jabs at her or just making her miserable/butt of the joke. Feels like the animosity towards rarity in Season 1 moved to her, but more comedic.
Twilight has at will Sisterness. Poor Gleaming Shield.
Rahs in a dress, and looking good.... STORY NOW!
Ohhhh, so, we have a replacement having taken place! Also I do still headcanon that the note that got burned in Dragon Quest was wilight's wedding letter from Shiny.
Yeah, Sweetie can hold a grudge, but she's also very easy to distract from it.
He did tell her about the engagement back in the pinkie sense chapters
Is Cadance replaced or do the Changelings pull a Dr.Who Silence on em?
Princess Celestia is a god but after all that sugar... How is she not pulling a bouncing Pinkie Pie
So many question, that only bring more when answered
The siblings of all families are awesome and entertaining.
Filly scouts are weaponised cuteness ♡
When Rahs speaks, it - has - impact!

No, he only said he was dating Cadance. He only became engaged to her at the end of Season 1, during the epilogue of "Beast Night Ever".
