Fairytale Wedding
In the land of Duloc, the time had finally come: Princess Fiona was to marry Lord Farquaad, both desiring for their own ‘happily ever after’. In the middle of the town, a large cathedral stood tall and mighty. An even larger group of guards stood outside the cathedral, all eyes on watch to ensure nothing interrupted this wedding under any circumstances.
Inside the church, wedding music was concluding while the choir filed on singing. The bishop puttered on, as Farquaad and Fiona entered in wedding attire. A large group of assembled citizens sat in reverence as they watched with anticipation for their lord to marry the beautiful princess. Granted, it was all fake as there were men with cue cards that garnered their responses.
Seriously! Do these people really need to be cued just to respond?
What do you expect? You think ‘any’ of them like Lord Farquaad? At all?
… Good point.
Anyway… the priest proceeded to officiate the ceremony.
“People of Duloc, we gather here today to bear witness to the union of our new King and Queen. And as the warm glow of this setting sun lifts our hearts, so too does the joy of this blessed…”
“Um… excuse me…” Fiona interrupted politely. “Could we just skip ahead to the ‘I do’s?”
This gained a chuckle of amusement from Lord Farquaad, who couldn’t help but admire her eagerness to marry him.
“Go on,” He nodded to the priest.
The priest found this quite irregular; however, he dared not defy his new king. With a slight nod of his head, he proceeded to skip through the remainder of the ceremony.
Meanwhile, while this went on, several Black Knights and Lannister guards entered the church from all corners and positioned themselves around the area. After they all made their way inside, Regina and Cersei entered after. They were dressed in their best, and most wicked, queenly ensembles.
“Last time I was at a wedding, I threatened an entire kingdom to take away their happiness,” Regina reminisced. “I suppose in a strange way, I’m doing the same thing today. Old habits never die.”
“Where I come from, many weddings tend to end with bloodshed,” Cersei informed. “I had an entire house, and all their bannermen, killed at one wedding. One that became known as the ‘Red Wedding’.”
“Okay, instead of going back down memory lane, we should really get this plan underway,” Regina reminded. “What exactly is it we’re doing again?”
“All you need to do is what you do best,” Cersei informed her. “Once that’s done, those meddlesome brats will be in our clutches. And then, we can leave this infernal world behind us.”
“Well, luckily we won’t have to wait long,” Regina smirked, overseeing the wedding.
“Right, well then,” The Priest cleared his throat. “Uh, do you Lord Farquaad take Princess Fiona?”
“I do,” Farquaad nodded.
“And do you Princess Fio—”
“I do,” Fiona answered quickly.
“Yes, I thought you might…”

Outside the church, the Dragon suddenly landed nearby and the Duloc guards ran away in terror from the giant dragoness. The group dismounted and made for the church, as Dragon turned back toward Donkey.
“Go ahead, have some fun!” Donkey urged her. “If we need you, I’ll whistle. How about that?”
The Dragon smiled with a nod, before taking off toward the town streets to pursue the frightened knights. Shrek raced for the cathedral doors, when suddenly the remainder of the group rushed into his way.
“Get out of my way!” He demanded loudly.
“Hold on a minute, Shrek!” Twilight urged. “We can’t go rushing in like white knights; we need to think this through.”
“First you want me to finally fess up and confess to Fiona how I feel,” Shrek pointed out confused. “Now you’re trying to stop me?!”
“Of course not, darling,” Rarity assured him. “But Twilight’s right. We can’t just stroll in there without at least a plan.”
“Look what we’ve been through on this whole journey,” Spike said. “We have weird knights trying to kill us and we still haven’t stopped Tirek. Celestia only knows what else can happen.”
“Besides, you wanna do this right, don’t you?” Donkey asked.
“What are you talking about?” Shrek asked.
“There’s a line, there’s a line you gotta wait for. The priest is gonna say, ‘Speak now or forever hold your peace’ and that’s when you say, ‘I object!’.”
“Oh, I don’t have time for this!” Shrek groaned in frustration.
Shrek quickly made a beeline past the group, but Donkey was not having it.
“Hey, wait!” Donkey flipped himself around “What are you doing? Listen to me!”
Donkey pinned the ogre against the door, forcing him to look him dead in the eye.
“Look, you love this woman, don’t you?” Donkey asked seriously.
“Yes,” Shrek replied.
“You wanna hold her?”
“Yes.”
“Please her?”
“Yes!”
“Then you got to, got try a little tenderness!” Donkey said in sing-song manner. “The chicks love that romantic crap!”
“Normally I don’t condone describing love that way, but I must agree with Donkey,” Ashlynn agreed.
“It’s true!” Raven nodded. “If you really want to show love in the best way, tenderness is the way to do it.”
“All right!” Shrek exclaimed. “Cut it out! When does this guy say the line?”
“We gotta check it out,” Donkey answered.
Unbeknownst to anyone in the group, Maddie turned just in time to spot a shadowy figure in a top hat disappear around the corner. The teenage hatter silently slipped away from the others to follow the elusive shadow. Just as she rounded a corner, a black gloved hand clasped over her mouth and pulled her completely around the corner, out of sight. When she was finally released, she stared into the dark soulless eyes of Uncle Howdy himself.
“Revel in what you are…”

Back inside the church, the priest nearly finished the vows. Unbeknownst to everyone in the chapel, Donkey was hurled up in the air to spy through the window. In addition, Spike, Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, and Rainbow Dash used their wings to hover over the window to peek in. This all went unnoticed by everyone as the priest continued the ceremony.
“And so, by the power vested in me…”
<>
“What do you see?!” Shrek yelled, tossing Donkey into the air.
“The whole town’s in there!” Donkey replied, coming back down.
“I see a bunch of knights in there as well,” Twilight added. “My guess is Tirek is somewhere in there.”
“They’re at the altar!” Rainbow yelled.
“Mother Fletcher!” Donkey exclaimed in shock. “He already said it.”
“Oh, for the love of Pete!” Shrek groaned.
Shrek raced inside without catching Donkey, who the Ever After girls quickly caught before he hit the ground. All the flying individuals flew down quickly just as Shrek rushed into the church.
“Shrek, wait!” Twilight yelled.
Just as the priest pronounced the pair as King and Queen of Duloc, just as Fiona and Farquaad leaned in for the kiss…
“I OBJECT!!!”
All heads turned as Shrek burst through the doors, his friends not too far behind. Before the eyes of the bride and groom, the princesses’ friends (And even the ogre) raced down the aisle.
“Stop the wedding!” Pinkie cried out.
“Shrek?” Fiona spoke in shock. “Girls?”
Initially, Fiona seemed happy, if not surprised, to see them… only for her expression to quickly drop. For she was reminded of what happened earlier today, the very words that made her upset. The bishop gasped at the sight, sealed his book, and quietly slunk off.
“Oh, now what does he want?” Farquaad sighed angrily.
The whole congregation gasped as they saw Shrek walk towards the altar, with the remainder of the group following behind. Surprisingly, the crowd responded positively and some even begun to do ‘the wave’.
“Ooh, I love the wave!” Pinkie clapped happily.
The pink party pony leapt right into the crowd and when she peeked out she now sported a Buckball jersey, some face paint, and even a soda hat.
“Go team!” She cheered along with the wave. “Go, go, Gryffindor! Go, go, Gryffindor!”
The rest of the group merely rolled their eyes before continuing to follow Shrek towards the altar.
“Hi, everyone!” Shrek waved to the crowd. “Havin’ a good time, are ya? I love Duloc, first of all. Very clean.”
“What are you doing here?” Fiona questioned Shrek.
“Really, it’s rude enough being alive when no one wants you, but showing up uninvited to a wedding…” Farquaad added.
“Cram it, short stack!” Rainbow snapped.
The tiny lord reeled back in response to the angry Pegasus. Shrek, initially taken aback by Farquaad’s harsh comment, quickly brushed it off. The ogre proceeded to turn his attention toward Fiona.
“Fiona – I need to talk to you.”
“Oh, now you want to talk?” Fiona scoffed. “Well, it’s a little late for that. So if you’ll excuse me –“
She leaned over to kiss Farquaad, to get this ceremony over with. But Twilight used her magic to pull her away by the hand.
“Fiona, please listen!” She plead. “This isn’t what you want. You know it and so do the rest of us. You can’t marry him.”
The princess freed her hand from the alicorn’s magical grip.
“And why not?” She questioned angrily.
To which the rest of the group turned toward Shrek.
“Tell her, big guy,” Spike nudged encouragingly.
“Because – because he’s just marrying you so he can be king!”
This caused the whole group to groan, shaking their heads in annoyance.
“Come on, Shrek!” Applejack groaned loudly. “We done just talked about this coming here; ya can’t back out now.”
“This is outrageous!” Farquaad spoke defensively. “Fiona, don’t listen to him—”
“Fiona, think about it!” Raven interrupted. “The day we rescued you from the tower, you asked us why this man you’re marrying didn’t come to rescue you! It’s because he never intended to go to the castle.”
“He set up a whole tournament willing to sacrifice any of his knights to do the heavy lifting for him,” Apple White added. “A tournament we were caught in the midst of and assigned to embark on this ‘quest’ for his bidding, and he probably didn’t even expect us to come out of it alive! And these people… they know it… they know what happened.”
“He’s not your true love,” Shrek argued with Fiona.
“And what do you know about true love?!” Fiona replied bitterly.
“Well, I, duh—I mean…”
“Oh for Celestia’s sake!” Rainbow exclaimed loudly. “He’s in love with you, alright!”
The entire group gasped in shock, as the truth was suddenly unveiled.
“What?” Fiona gasped in shock.
“Oh… oh… aww…” Farquaad chuckled mockingly. “Oh, this is precious! The ogre has fallen in love with the Princess! Oh, good lord. Hahahahaha…”
Farquaad gestured to the man with the prompter card, who proceeded to hold up a card that said ‘Laugh’. The entire congregation proceeded to laugh over the absurdity of ‘an ogre and a princess’. Shrek turned back toward the laughing crowd till his face leaned toward the floor, dejection striking him hard. Seeing his friend in such distress, Spike dawned a look of determinedness and stepped up to speak in his defense.
“You people can laugh all you like, but there’s nothing wrong with our friend loving Fiona!” Spike spoke up. “Where we come from, I’m a dragon in a relationship with a griffon… and proud to be! We’ve got earth ponies who fell in love with Pegasi, some even with unicorns, and even unicorns have fallen for Pegasi. We’ve even had same-sex relationships… all different kinds and we’re proud to have such diversity.”
“Yeah! We even have a Pegasus and a Draconequus relationship brewing soon, right Fluttershy?” Pinkie smirked to the shy Pegasus.
To which Fluttershy merely blushed bright red, as she hid her face in her wing and mane. In all this, Princess Fiona stared toward Shrek, her face brimming with shock.
“Shrek… is this true?” Fiona asked curiously.
Just as Shrek opened his mouth to speak—
“Who cares?! It’s preposterous!” Farquaad mocked in annoyance. “Guards, take these abominations out of my sight!”
“No!” Fiona cried out. “Uh… I mean… let’s hear what the… monster has to say. It might be worth a laugh.”
“Oh, you are awful!” Farquaad smirked, then faced Shrek. “You heard her, ogre. Express yourself… with as few grunts as possible.”
“Can I hit him now?” Rainbow Dash asked Applejack.
“Later hun,” Applejack assured.
“Right… okay,” Shrek spoke tentatively, looking around. “Um…”
Without any words, the ponies, Spike, and the Ever After girls calmly gestured to Shrek to speak his piece. The ogre eventually turned his attention toward the Princess, who waited to hear what he had to say. But when words failed… there was only ‘one’ thing the ogre could do…sing.
“Awk-ward…” Farquaad snarked, side of mouth.
The group’s eyes glared toward the tiny man, who made a gesture with his tiny fingers to indicate ‘a little bit’. But the man still gestured the ogre to keep going regardless. Shrek returned his gaze to Fiona, who at first turned her back to him during the first verses. Spike, seeing that the ogre still needed help, slowly approached his friend.
Shrek’s bars eventually made the princess return her gaze toward him, hearing the sincerity in his words. Pleased to help push his friend along, Spike felt a presence so unfamiliar to him yet compelled him to look out toward the crowd. Only in his eyes, he wasn’t seeing the congregation nor even the walls or the door leading out into the town. But something drew him to look ahead, that he felt the presence of someone so close to him… someone he feels has been watching him this whole time. As he stepped forward, he could feel himself singing his own serenade as Shrek’s own song continued.
And as Spike tentatively reached out a claw, as far as he could stretch his arm forward… his hand contacted an invisible force in thin air. A force seen by so few, yet a hidden wall of sorts where he could feel himself seeing something beyond the void of this world. His gaze toward a serene scene he left behind, where he could feel someone else reaching for him… waiting for him to come home. He was swept by this sensation known only by so few, as off the side Shrek grew more determined as the princess’s face slowly softened.
By the time the song finished, Shrek waited with anticipation to hear what the princess had to say. At first she said nothing, but the tears in her eyes and the small smile on her face seemed to suggest otherwise. Leaving everyone else to wonder… ‘Did it work?’.
“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”
Groans emerged from the group as the tiny lord ruined what was a tender moment, the disruption even drew Spike back to reality much to his own annoyance.
“Are we ready, darling?” Farquaad addressed Fiona. “Fiona, my love, we’re but a kiss away from our ‘happily ever after’. Now kiss me!”
Farquaad held Fiona’s hand, puckered his lips, and leaned toward her. Fiona looked from Shrek, then to Farquaad, and up toward the stained-glass window. Then, barely a whisper…
“I can’t!”
Just as Fiona was about to rush off.
“Stop the wedding!!!”
A high squeaky voice led the congregation to erupt in pandemonium. All of a sudden, all the fairy tale creatures, with Pinocchio in the lead, stormed into the church. Carrying protest signs in their grip, they eyed the lord angrily crying out their message.
“This guy is a sham!”
“Up with fairies!”
“Power to the cookies!”
“I vanted to be zi flower girl!”
“Ew! Filthy wedding crashers!” Farquaad groaned disgusted. “Stop them! Stop them!”
“We’ve taken your abuse for the last time, Farquaad!” Pinocchio pointed angrily.
“”Well no more!” Baby Bear declared.
“It ends today!” The witch declared.
“Power to zi piggies!” The three pigs cheered.
“We demand our homes back!” Papa Bear demanded.
“And our rightful place in Duloc!” Pinocchio concluded. “Right, guys?”
Additional cries bellowed out amidst the rally. Farquaad darted his eyes to each of the creatures, accusing him of being a zealot and demanding he’d pay for his actions. But the tiny lord would not have it…
“How dare you freaks interrupt my wedding?!” Farquaad called out.
The girls, especially Spike, rolled their eyes over Farquaad’s choice of words. All stood silently, until Pinkie Pie stepped forth. A smile spread across her face as an amusing thought dawned on her.
“Freaks, huh?” Pinkie questioned. “Well, I guess it takes one to know one. As a matter of fact, when we first met these creatures, I just so happened to stumble upon someone you’re very familiar with.”
“What?” Farquaad asked confused.
“Pinocchio… I believe a ‘reunion’ is in order?” Pinkie smiled.
“Oh… yeah!” Pinocchio nodded. “Be prepared to have your mind blown.”
Pinocchio gestured with one hand, signaling the fairy tale creatures to part ways. A very grumpy, not to mention small and angry looking dwarf, ‘Grumpy’ by name, stepped out from the crowd. Everyone eyed him with confusion, but Farquaad… he was shocked.
“High-Ho!” Grumpy said loudly.
“Daddy?” Farquaad reeled back.
To which the crowd gasped in shock, suddenly mouthing to each other of this revealing scene.
“I suppose my invitation was lost in the mail?” Grumpy huffed.
“Well, maybe if you hadn’t abandoned me in the woods—” Farquaad argued.
“Abandoned you?” Grumpy questioned. “You were twenty-eight and living in my basement!”
This caused the rest of the group to burst out laughing. Surprisingly, it wasn’t even just the fairytale creatures nor even just the Equestrians. The entire congregation couldn’t help but laugh, even a few of the guards.
“Heh-heh. Looser!” Rainbow laughed.
“People of Duloc, your leader is a Halfling!” Pinocchio announced.
“Which is a lovely thing to be!” Fluttershy nodded.
“A freak, just like all of us!” Raven added.
“No I’m not! I’m not a freak! I’m not!” Farquaad objected, throwing a tantrum. “I’m a king! I’m a big man! A big, tall giant man with a kingdom! Not-a-freak! Not a freak! I have a castle!”
Fiona merely looked down on him with disgust, as the true nature of the little man was revealed before him. Not because of ‘what’ he was in the end, but rather… who he turned out to be. A man who mocked her friends and forced an entire population from their homes just for being who they are. A man who could only see the ugliness on the outside, not the beauty from within. A truth that was perfectly clear to Fiona… Lord Farquaad could ‘never’ be her true love.
“Bring in the lanterns!”
An announcement drew Fiona back to reality, averting her attention to the window. Sure enough, the sun was starting to set in the sky. The cathedral was growing darker, and a few members of the church were already bringing in the lanterns. As dawning as the sun, so too did it dawn upon Fiona of what was to come.
“’By night one way, by day another’,” Fiona spoke, facing Shrek. “I wanted to show you before.”
Fiona slowly started to back away, giving Shrek a sheepish smile. Then finally, when the sun had fully set, the magic of Fiona’s curse was put into effect. The magic hovered around the princess, who closed her eyes as the magic cast a shining radiance in the church. After a few seconds, Fiona had transformed into her ogress self. The crowd gasped, while one person fainted in shock. Shrek and Farquaad stared at Fiona, neither sure what they were seeing.
“Fiona?” Shrek spoke.
To which, the princess gave a smile in response. The ogre’s astonishment grew, as he too began to grin.
“Well, uh… that explains a lot!” Shrek smiled.
To which the Equestrians and their friends nodded in approval, as Fiona locked eyes with Shrek and smiled.
“Ugh! Ew-ew-ew-ewww! It’s disgusting!” Farquaad groaned. “Guards! Guards! I order you to get that out of my sight now! Guards?”
But Farquaad’s guards did nothing, they barely even moved toward their ‘Lord’. For now that they knew the truth about who, and what, their ruler truly was they felt no purpose to serve one as hypocritical as their ‘Halfling’ Lord. Farquaad looked around quickly as the Equestrian Heroes and their allies gathered toward him. But that didn’t stop either the Lannister or Red Knights to go for the ogres.
“Shrek and Fiona are in trouble!” Twilight pointed out. “Come on every pony, let’s do this!”
“Finally!” Rainbow yelled. “Time to kick some flank!”
“Let’s pull off a Helluva Boss!” Pinkie declared.
“I wouldn’t if I were you.”
The collection of heroes froze when an icy voice spoke to them. All eyes turned toward none other than Cersei and Regina, who emerged onto the altar.
“Who the hay are you two?!” Rainbow Dash questioned.
“Who we are is of no concern to you,” Cersei replied plainly. “However, if you must know, I am Queen Cersei of House Lannister, the High Queen of Westeros.”
“Regina Mills, Queen of the Enchanted Forest,” Regina added with a smirk.
“What do you want?” Twilight Sparkle demanded. “We have no quarrel with either of you.”
“Believe me, you lowly livestock mean ‘nothing’ to us!” Cersei retorted.
“It’s them we want!” Regina stated.
With one finger, Regina pointed toward the Ever After girls (Minus one).
“Hello Apple…” Regina smirked. “Been a while. How’s the whole rescuing business treating you? I must say… it’s not been looking good.”
“Don’t you dare touch her, you old witch!” Raven threatened.
“Hmph… no manners!” Regina huffed. “And after all the trouble we went through to bring a special guest… just to see you.”
Suddenly, the lantern lights started to flicker on and off as a portal formed amidst the chapel. The girls turned and became astonished when a certain centaur emerged. Lord Tirek, the very beast their Equestrian friends were searching for. But it wasn’t the smirking, hulking red beast that shocked them. For within the tight grips of his big palms was a familiar face that left Apple White’s face widened.
In his hands was someone deemed the most beautiful woman in the realm of Ever After High. A woman with pale white skin, plump lips as red as blood, and dark hair with a few gray areas due to age. Her pronounced cheekbones were as natural as her very beauty, her eyes dark blue and her hair long and flowing down to her hips. Her bangs parted to each side of her face. A tall woman with a slim body, her fashion consisting of white, red, and gold. The woman known throughout the Ever After as… Snow White.
“MOM!!!” Apple White cried out.
“No… this can’t be!” Raven shook her head. “This isn’t real!”
“Is it real?” Regina smirked. “You’re the ones following ogres and donkeys, talking ponies and dragons, all throughout a fairy tale. Reality just keeps getting fuzzier by the minute, little girl. But if she wasn’t real… could I do… this?”
Regina plunged a fist right into the chest of Queen Snow White, ripping out her still beating heart. The girls gasped at the very sight of her actions, but then they saw through the cat. This was a spell, for no physical mark remained on Snow White at all. Regina held the heart in her hand, the heart completely encased in a magical red glow. She turned back toward the crew with hateful eyes as they stared back with concern.
“It’s funny, isn’t it?” Regina chuckled. “Holding the power of life and death in the pawn of one’s own hand. Did you know that when you take a heart as I have that it becomes enchanted? Once I realized what I was capable of, everything changed. I always loved the idea of doing whatever I want… and make anyone do anything I please. And, if any of you even try otherwise, all I have to do… is squeeze.”
On emphasis, Regina gave the heart a squeeze and Queen Snow cried out in pain. Apple dropped to her knees; tears streamed along her face having to watch her mother endure such torture.
“STOP!!! Please, stop!” Apple begged. “We’ll give you anything you want, just please… please stop hurting my mother.”
To which Cersei merely smirked wickedly in response.
“If you want your mother unharmed, there’s only one option you have,” She said. “Hand yourselves over and then she goes free.”
“Is that what you want?” Raven challenged. “Well, if you want us dead, then come get us!”
“Dead?!” Regina chuckled. “No… you don’t really get it. Killing you girls has proven to be so… difficult. Not a single one of you deserve to die, oh no. Instead… you deserve to be broken down… torn apart… wiped from existence… just like all your friends…”
The Ever After High girls turned toward their pony friends and Spike, who were initially concerned for their being. No doubt they would jump in at any point to prevent any harm from coming to them. But then these princesses thought of what was put in jeopardy, especially a Queen who possibly was the only surviving parent left. The parent of a very special girl now wanting to do something right… even at a great cost.
“We will give ourselves up and you may do with us as you wish,” Apple White offered. “But you will leave our friends be… and my mother… she goes free.”
“Apple, no!” Fluttershy whimpered.
“There… now was that so hard?” Regina smiled wickedly.
The villains, minus Cersei, grinned evilly as Tirek watched Regina place the heart back into Queen Snow’s chest. Apple’s mother gasped softly as she felt her heart return to its place, releasing a slow breath as Cersei gathered toward the weakened queen. One of her hands was closed shut, as Cersei eyed the silent parent.
“Ready for that drink, your highness?” Cersei asked.
All of a sudden, Cersei violently raised her sealed fist to Queen Snow’s lips, revealing a vial of the purple liquid. To the shock and horror of the Ever After girls, Cersei forcibly plunged the liquid down the queen’s throat forcing her to gulp every last drop. Queen Snow started to gasp violently as trails of the purple liquid slipped down her lips. As Tirek released her, he watched as the Queen clutched her throat, gasping for breath as she took a few steps. Even the congregation watched in shock as the Queen turned toward the girls, specifically toward Apple White.
“Apple…” Queen Snow gasped, reaching out.
“Mom…” Apple shook her head tearfully.
And just like that, upon drawing her last breath, Queen Snow plunged face-first onto the floor… and she laid there silent and still. Apple cried out in agony at the sight of her mother’s death, practically falling to her knees with one hand covering her mouth. All her friends stared in shock as Regina watched her friend succumb to sadness. Then she angrily turned toward the maniacal queens and the centaur.
“What have you monsters done?!” Raven demanded. “We had a deal! Our lives for hers!”
“Indeed we did have a deal.” Cersei replied. “I did this because it felt good.” I burned your home to ground because it felt good to watch it reduced to ashes. I had your friends killed because it felt good to watch the life slip from their eyes. Now I’ve killed your Queen because it feels good to watch you lose the last hope you have left.”
“If I recall correctly, your friend asked for your mother to go ‘free’,” Tirek spoke sinisterly. “I think we’ve all gotten what we deserve.”
Apple White was now utterly horrified after her mother was killed in front of her, the light in her eyes gone. As she slowly crawled toward the body of her mother, the Queens hovered toward her friends who braced themselves. Alongside the queens, a number of their personal guards marched beside them.
“It’s time you girls finally admit the truth,” Cersei declared. “That this world… and everywhere else… would just be better off without you.”
As the villains reached toward her friends, Apple White was just inches away from her mother. She finally reached toward her, Apple’s hand brushing along her mother’s hair and the skin of her face only to feel nothing but a chilling sensation. She reached toward her mother’s shoulders, hoping to have one last look upon her mother’s dying face… but then she reeled back with a gasp. For instead of the face of her mother, instead it was the face… of Uncle Howdy.
“Pardon me…” He spoke sinisterly.
All of a sudden, the body in Apple White’s hands vanished into a beam which quickly cast a large glow that drew the attention of the villains.
“What the—?” Regina began.
But before she could finish, the trio were hurled backwards by the beam. The force was so strong, Tirek was sent flying backwards, crashing through the church and sent hurtling away in the air screaming. The Queens were sent skidding toward the floor, while all their knights scattered about in a metallic clutter from one spot to the next. Apple White stood kneeling on the floor with shock by what she seen, when Raven Queen gathered toward her friend and roommate.
“Apple! You have to get up!” Raven groaned, pulling Apple by her shoulder. “We have to go!”
“Get them!” Cersei snarled. “Get them all!”
Soon, the Mane Six, Spike, and the remainder of the Ever After girls leapt into action. The gathering of Black and Lannister knights charged toward the group.
“No, no! Shrek!”
Spike turned as Shrek and Fiona tried to grab each other’s arms. But the knights grabbed hold of them, pulling them apart. A rage started to form within the young adult dragon, as smoke poured from his nostrils. Releasing a roar so loudly, Spike flew toward the knights and knocked them aside with a swipe of his tail propelling the knights off of Fiona and sent them crashing against the stone walls. The ponies gathered in defense of Spike and the ogres, while the Ever After girls aided the other fairytale creatures with keeping the other knights at bay.
Farquaad began to fume with rage as he saw the chaos erupt within the cathedral. All the knights trying to either restore order or dispose of these freaks, only to be overwhelmed and tossed about like canned vegetables. His only remaining allies, the two queens, were still recovering from their own assault by a newly revealed intruder. This was supposed to be his wedding day, his shining pillar of greatness… and these freaks were not going to ruin this day.
“This hocus-pocus alters nothing!” Farquaad growled, grabbing the crown. “This marriage is binding, and that makes me king! See?! See?!”
“You’re not a king!” Spike accused. “Kings don’t—”
Suddenly, one of the knights swatted Spike away with a mace, sending the dragon to the floor. As the dragon slowly recovered, the other knights tackled him trying to hold him down.
“No, let go of him!” Fiona cried, hurling one knight down. “Spike!”
“Spike!” Twilight cried out.
“Don’t just stand there, you morons!” Regina growled to her knights. “Kill them if you have to—but get them!”
The knights still in action charged toward the group, who did their best to defend themselves against their might. Twilight Sparkle and Rarity used their own beams to knock a few knights off their feet, while Applejack grabbed a discarded mace with her rope and swung it around colliding with the medieval weapon against the helmets of every charging knight. Rainbow Dash flew toward the knights trying to hold Spike down and proceeded to thrust a few uppercuts sending the knights in the air.
“Out of my way!” Rainbow called out, facing Spike. “Spike! You okay!”
“I’m fine—” Spike groaned, clutching his head. “Fiona… Shrek…”
In the meantime, Pinkie Pie attempted to hold several knights back with streams of her party cannon shooting confetti and other forms of pastry. Despite being covered in icing, their visions partly blocked by confetti, the remaining knights still marched forth in grim determination. Then, all of a sudden, Fluttershy hovered over them and proceeded to unleash her ‘stare’ upon them, gazing intensely toward them. As it so happened, at least two of those knights recognized the yellow Pegasus… from the castle.
“No… no… you!!!!” A knight screamed.
Screaming in maniacal insanity, the knights screamed and raced down the aisle pushing their way through the fairytale creatures toward the doors. To which, their Queens were far from pleased as some of their troops ran away rather than fighting to the death.
“COWARDS!!!” Regina snapped.
Amidst all the chaos, Shrek angrily fought back and knocked out a few of the guards. Even Fiona managed a few stunning blows against several of the knights, deploying what self-defense training she had. But eventually, the sheer number of these growing knights proved too much for the ogres. Even the ponies and their friends felt the weight of combat stacking against them. And Farquaad, with the crown upon his head, stood at the heart of the cathedral overlooking the whole battle.
“You beasts… I’ll make you regret the day we met!” Farquaad declared. “I’ll see you drawn and quartered! You’ll beg for death to save you!”
“No, Shrek!” Fiona cried out. “Twilight! Spike! Apple!”
But Apple White was too despondent to speak, as Raven Queen wrapped her arms around her while keeping her gaze on the knights circling the pair. Farquaad soon approached Fiona, drawing his dagger, and held it toward her throat.
“And as for you, my wife!” Farquaad sneered.
“Fiona!” The group cried out.
“I’ll have you locked back in that tower for the rest of your days!” Farquaad declared.
“No actually, you won’t!” Spike coughed. “Shrek, NOW!!!”
Finally, Shrek managed to pry his arm free, and he whistled loudly.
“What are you doing, you Insolent beast!” Farquaad demanded. “I am king! I WILL HAVE ‘ORDER’! I WILL HAVE PERFECTION! I WILL HAVE…!”
Just before Farquaad could finish his rant, time seemed to slow down for the tiny lord. Initially confused, he suddenly heard a haunting whistle that seemed to echo around the church.
As Farquaad tried to uncover the source of the scary, yet melodic tune, Farquaad’s eyes caught sight of a figure standing seemingly unnoticed by the crowd. The figure was a bipedal albino wolf with bright, glowing red eyes wearing a black hooded riding cloak, brown trousers, and a pair of razor-sharp collapsible sickles hanging on his belt. From his elongated, sharp teeth-filled muzzle, the mysterious wolf whistled the ominous tune for Farquaad to hear and gave an almost sadistic looking smile at him. Almost immediately as he suddenly appeared out of nowhere, the cloaked wolf seemingly vanished from the spot, leaving Farquaad very unnerved.
Time resumed to normal speed when all at once…
*CRASH!*
A Dragon burst from the stained-glass window, the Dragon who guarded Fiona, and opened her jaws. The diminutive despot looked up, dropped his weapon, and screamed in horror as the Dragon’s head swooped down. The last thing he saw was the wide, teeth-filled maw and an eruption of flames flowing toward him. The dragon’s jaw covered the lord, as her fire breath engulfed him from within her mouth. Soon she swallowed him in one gulp, leaving nothing left but his charred crown. All the other guards, stunned by the act, ran away from the cathedral and those who remained stepped back. As it turned out, the Dragon was not alone as a figure stood upon her head.
“All right! Nobody move!” Donkey ordered. “I got a dragon here, and I’m not afraid to use it.”
The Dragon roared, causing most of the guards to back away with fear. The remaining guards released Shrek and Fiona, backing away. The two Queens got to their feet and looked up as the Dragon loomed toward them.
“I’m a donkey on the edge!” Donkey cried out.
“You insolent little…” Cersei threatened.
But before she could do anything, the floor exploded a few steps before her and through the smoke Uncle Howdy, in his regular get-up, appeared before the stunned Queens. He merely stared icily toward the Queens and hovered one finger in front of them, waving it side to side silently. The Queens eyed this mysterious figure for a moment until Queen Cersei released a breath, and Regina got the message.
“Fine! Have it your way…” Regina sighed.
Regina took one snap of her finger, causing another portal to appear in the chapel. All eyes watched as the Lannister and Red Knights struggled their way through the portal in a hasty retreat. Regina was the first of the pair of Queens to enter the portal, as Cersei looked back toward the Ever After girls, the group eyeing the Queen with hatred.
“Another time, another place…” Cersei declared. “But never forget… we made a bargain.”
At long last, Queen Cersei stepped back through the portal, and it sealed shut. With a few major threats handled, the two band of heroes turned toward Uncle Howdy. Raven Queen, especially, was closely attentive to this mysterious figure.
“Who are you?” Raven asked.
“Who, indeed?” Uncle Howdy replied. “Such a shame for little Apple. Losing her mother, and her closest friends, and they’re not guilty of a thing! Now they are lost. Off with the shadows, into darkness.”
“She just saw her mother killed you insensitive creep!” Raven growled.
“No… no, not killed…” Uncle Howdy corrected. “Just… lost. Just like all the others…”
Something in Uncle Howdy’s words rang hauntingly amidst the group, sending them in a state of unease. But in addition, it snapped Apple White back to reality thrusting her head toward Uncle Howdy.
“You mean… you know where mother is?” Apple White spoke. “Tell us!”
“If you are in league with the Dark One and the Benefactor, we deserve to know!” Twilight demanded.
“Uncle Howdy has all the answers—but Uncle Howdy doesn’t always tell. Uncle Howdy does not work for the darkness… Uncle Howdy is the darkness. Uncle Howdy rules his own world, and in my little world… we’re all mad.
“As for your mother, little Apple… she’s already left this world. I won’t tell which exit. But a little birdie offered an exchange, a high-ranking being of my choosing… in exchange for her freedom.”
With one snap of his finger, smoke erupted at his feet. Through the black wave, Maddie Hatter tripped and fell into the arms of the Ever After girls.
“Maddie!!!” They cried out.
They hovered over the young Hatter, who coughed heavily trying to clear her lungs. She weakly looked up toward the girls, who eyed her worriedly. Twilight Sparkle walked past them, eyeing the malicious being.
“What are you?!” Twilight asked intensely.
“Let’s just say I only exist because someone refuses to accept their own faults,” Uncle Howdy spoke cryptically. “In exchange for one’s freedom from my vice, I get to add a little piece to my ‘charming’ little collection. And the party list keeps growing so long as I say so.”
“You’re saying Apple’s mother is still alive? What of the others? How do we know we can trust you?”
“To trust, or not to trust? I trust you’ll decide! Find me again…”
Once more, Uncle Howdy snapped his fingers and vanished into the smoke before the group could do anything. All was silent amidst everyone still remaining in the cathedral. The stunned members of the congregation, all the fairytale creatures gathered around, the heroes pondering their actions, and even the ogres standing close by. Looking around, seeing all the calamity, Donkey tried to break the awkward silence.
“Celebrity marriages,” Donkey spoke up. “They never last, do they?”
To which, the congregation broke out into some slight laughter. Some of them even cheered, much to even the surprise of the group. Still, it was plain to see as the muzzles on their faces. For all the power and respect Farquaad demanded of them, they never truly admired a lord desiring to be king of all. And now that the little man was gone for good, it was no longer just the fairytale creatures who were free. Now Duloc was a free kingdom, a kingdom without a ruler true… but still, they were free. Seeing this, a recovering Spike turned towards Shrek.
“Go ahead, Shrek,” Spike smiled.
Nodding his head, Shrek moved closer toward Fiona now.
“Uh, Fiona?”
“Yes, Shrek?” Fiona smiled.
“I – I love you.”
“Really?”
“Really, really.”
“I love you too.”
Without hesitation, Shrek and Fiona leaned toward one another and they kissed – a good kiss. Thelonious took one of the cards and wrote ‘Awwww’ on the back presenting it to the congregation. And they all responded on cue, to which some of the girls shook their heads but were proud, nonetheless.
Suddenly, the magic of the spell drew Fiona away from Shrek. The princess began to ascend into the air, hovering above as a magical glow worked around her. Whispering winds started to whip up around the stunned ensemble, as Fiona’s voice was heard though her lips never moved.
‘By day one way, by night another – this shall be the norm, until you find true love’s first kiss and then take love’s true form… true form… true form…’
Suddenly, Fiona’s eyes opened wide and lit up as she could feel a magical transformation take place. The force of the spell blew against the crowd, filling the cathedral with a blinding radiance. A whirlwind of sparkling light so great that nearly all the windows exploded, all… except one, with an image of Farquaad on it. Spike hovered till he was level with ‘Elizabeth’s’ head and gave her a nod. The Dragon proceeded to break the stained-glass window with her fist, as bits of glass showered toward the floor. As the magic subsided, Fiona lowered toward the ground and Shrek raced toward her.
“Fiona? Fiona… are you alright?” Shrek asked, concerned.
Slowly, the Princess Fiona turned around to face Shrek. Only… she was still an ogress. Fiona looked at herself, completely dismayed.
“Well yes… but… I don’t understand,” Fiona sighed. “I’m supposed to be beautiful.”
“But you are beautiful,” Shrek replied.
“You are more beautiful than you ever imagined,” Rarity promised. “Inside and outside.”
And the two ogres smiled toward the group, as they turned their attention toward each other. And one thing was truly certain the moment Shrek gazed upon the ogress in the wedding dress… that ‘Beautiful isn’t always pretty’… and that was how he liked it.
Soon, our heroes found themselves back in the swamp. It was Shrek and Fiona’s wedding day, and everyone was invited to bear witness to the two ogres sharing their kiss and joined together in holy matrimony. Among the few attendees along with Twilight Sparkle and her friends, aside from the fairytale creatures once banished to this very swamp, even a few Duloc guards came to witness this marriage. All were very happy to see the two coming together.
“And that is how the little ogre came to live on the swamp with a beautiful princess,” Shrek declared.
“And his best friend,” Donkey added.
“And his best friends,” Pinkie corrected.
“And a gingerbread man!” Gingy jumped in.
“And a very handsome puppet!” Pinocchio posed.
“Okay…” Shrek chuckled.
“And a rabbit!”
“And an Ugly Duckling!”
“And a witch!”
“And a cross-dressing wolf!”
“And the three pigs!”
“I just love a happy ending!” Pinkie cried tearfully.
Everyone gave their applause and adoration to the newly married couple, ending this day with a joyous celebration of love and acceptance. And yet, the fun had only just begun…
“ONE! TWO! ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR!”
Soon the entire reception of fairytale creatures and normies alike clapped together as the Mane Six and Spike stood at the center now with instruments and microphones much like their Rainbooms selves. Rarity and Pinocchio played together on the keys, with Pinocchio using his long nose that left Rarity giggling. Pinkie Pie played the drums rapidly while Applejack and Rainbow Dash played their guitars, bass and electric respectively. While Fluttershy played the tambourine, Twilight Sparkle and Spike sang lead along with a few of the Ever After Girls for back-up. All but Raven and Apple, who sat together admiring the scene as Apple leaned her head on her roommate/best friend’s shoulder as Raven kept her close.
The performance went on as Shrek and Fiona walked down the aisle to prepare for their honeymoon.
In the midst of the song, Shrek and Fiona walked until they reached their awaiting carriage, which thanks to a little magic was conjured as a giant onion complete with the drivers and footmen being the Three Blind Mice. Once inside, Fiona tossed her bouquet which both Cinderella and Snow White (Of this world) fought and clawed to catch. Amidst this cat fight, Dragon caught the bouquet instead. Though Donkey looked nervous, Shrek and Fiona gave him a reassuring look. The party went on, as the guests danced and sung while Shrek and Fiona rode away in their carriage. And the Gingerbread Man looked on proudly as they proceeded to embark on their own journey.
“God bless us, everyone!” Gingerbread Man declared, waving goodbye.
All the while, as the song reached its end, Donkey proceeded to take over the performance.
Soon, the wedding carriage carrying Shrek and Fiona rode far away down the swamp, disappearing over the horizon as the two ogres proceeded to go on ‘ugly ever after’. Just as the song came to an end, as everyone took a moment to catch their breath, a gust of wind picked up and before the eyes of the Equestrians the portal to Equestria opened up in the midst of the swamp.
“Well… guess it’s time to head home,” Twilight declared.
“Looks that way,” Spike nodded. “But what about Tirek?”
“Eh… he’ll be fine,” Pinkie shrugged. “We’ll run into big, red meanie again… maybe in another story.”
As they got ready to depart, the Equestrians and Spike turned back toward all the fairytale creatures looking toward them with smiles on their faces. And with the biggest smile of them all, Donkey stood in front of them.
“Man, I wish you guys didn’t have to go,” He said. “It’s been way too much fun.”
“You betcha it has!” Pinkie giggled.
“But we have families and friends waiting back home,” Rarity informed. “And we could use a break after all this adventuring.”
“And ah’m sure they miss us a heap load,” Applejack nodded.
“Well, alright,” Donkey nodded. “If you’re ever in the area again, be sure to look us up.”
“We most certainly will, Donkey,” Fluttershy smiled.
One by one, the girls and Spike gave Donkey a big goodbye hug. Once they broke free, they turned their attention toward the Ever After girls.
“It was really nice getting to know you all,” Apple smiled, sighing. “I just wish it was under better circumstances.”
“Don’t we all?” Rainbow nodded. “I’m sorry… about your mom.”
“I’m not… whether or not that Uncle Howdy was telling the truth, I’m starting to feel it now. Here I was thinking that we truly lost all our friends and family. But if what Uncle Howdy says is true, that they aren’t dead… but they’re lost… then it’s up to us to find them somehow and bring them back from wherever they went to. Even if that means really thinking about what we truly saw… and what was only a dark manifestation of our own minds.”
“Luckily, Apple White won’t do it alone,” Raven nodded. “We’ll be right by her side as we try to figure out what to do. But for now, we have no home to go back to thanks to those wicked Queens. So we’ll have to find somewhere else in this place to live.”
Twilight and the rest of her friends looked amongst each other for a moment or two. Eventually, smiles came upon their faces as a thought came to them.
“You know, you’re welcome to come back to Equestria with us,” Twilight suggested. “A chance to start a whole new life, even temporarily.”
“Seriously?” Briar asked in shock.
“Absolutely!” Twilight nodded. “As a matter of fact—”
The pony princess used her magic to conjure a magical orb before them. The orb showcased images of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, standing side by side.
“Girls, allow me to introduce you to our faithful rulers,” Twilight introduced. “Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.”
“Greetings, young ones,” Celestia’s image spoke kindly. “We’ve been watching your progress since this journey began and we cordially invite you to Equestria with open hooves.”
Celestia’s image then turned her face toward Apple White.
“And I am sincerely sorry about what happened to your mother, dearest Apple,” She spoke apologetically. “I know what it’s like to lose family. While I may not have the power to bring her back, and I can never truly replace her, all I can offer is to bring you here and welcome you as my own if you’d wish.”
“And I’d be most willing to do the same for young Raven,” Luna’s image added.
Both Apple White and Raven Queen exchanged looks, seeing the shock upon each other’s faces. Both girls tried to process exactly what these patriarchs were offering.
“And what of the rest of us?” Cerise asked. “Where will we live?”
“There’s always room in my castle for all of you,” Twilight offered. “What do you girls say?”
The Ever After girls looked amongst themselves as they thought it over. It was clear they truly had nowhere else to go, not with their home burned to the ground. And here were these new friends offering them a place to reside amongst them in their own world, all out of the kindness of their hearts. There was no need to debate this topic, as they turned back and nodded.
“We’ll go with you guys,” Raven agreed.
Twilight Sparkle nodded, along with the images of Celestia and Luna, and the orb disappeared into thin air. Soon the ponies proceeded to march through the portal one by one, with Spike coming in last. As the Ever After girls made their way through the portal, the last two girls were none other than Raven Queen… and Maddie Hatter.
“I suppose nothing will ever be the same again, will it Raven?” Maddie asked curiously.
Raven Queen briefly turned back to the swamp they’d soon be leaving behind. All the fairytale creatures were gathered, even Donkey, making the most of their newfound freedom and a new life in this world. Staring at this scene for a moment, Raven smiled, sadly yet proud. She then turned back toward Maddie.
“Well Maddie,” Raven began. “If we all work as hard to restore our world and recover our lost loved ones, just as these ponies worked hard to restore the freedom of these creatures, then someday… it will be.”
And so the two girls proceeded to make their way through the portal as it sealed behind them. One story coming to an end, but another was only just beginning. For nothing lasts, and life goes on. Full of surprises as they are faced with new problems of all shapes and sizes. Until their lives are restored, they will have to make a few compromises… but only for now. For now, they were healthy. For now, they were together. For now, they are happy… if not overjoyed to be alive… and for now… they had a home.

Bonus Aftermath
Lord Tirek… having just returned from his own ventures in Duloc… sat away in a part of the Dark Order’s lair entirely on his own. A place where he could be away from all the commotion, especially after being chewed a new one from the Benefactor and the Dark One of his folly… again. Alone, Tirek sat upon his rump, huffing angrily to himself. But rather than relieving his stress with lifting weights or punching the already smashed walls, Tirek took up a rather ‘interesting’ hobby… knitting a pink and magenta… something.
“Stupid… ponies…” He growled. “Stupid… dragons… stupid humans… stupid… stupid… Venrys!!!”
“Mr. Tirek…”
A voice interrupted Tirek’s train of thought as he quickly turned his head. For who should enter his private sanctuary than the last creature he wanted to see… Cozy Glow.
“Mr. Tirek… what’s wrong?” Cozy Glow asked.
“What do you mean ‘what’s wrong’?” Tirek rolled his eyes.
“You’re furiously knitting instead of working out. Why?”
The centaur sighed to himself as he stopped his knitting and gently set his work upon his lap.
“If you must know… Venrys was in the meeting today,” Tirek answered.
“Ooh… the new guy!” The Pegasus filly exclaimed. “I take it you two don’t get along, huh?”
“Get along?!” Tirek growled, picking up the knitting sticks. “I had those pathetic ponies right in my grip, finally defeated. And what does that coward do? He took his little trinket and ran away! And was he there to help during the wedding? NO!”
“… That’s it?” Cozy raised a brow. “I thought it be bigger.”
“It’s HUGE! He’s more concerned with appeasing his ‘Queen’ rather than vanquishing his foes when he has the chance! You know what? That’s the problem I have with most of these other ‘villains’!”
Tirek’s knitting grew more vigorous the more his rant grew, while Cozy Glow looked slightly scared.
“This order doesn’t understand that by constantly running away, leaving our foes alive, it only enforces them to come back! Every time they do, it results in their downfall!”
“Isn’t that what happened to you, too?” Cozy questioned. “Before we met?”
“Grr… what I did was take magic from literally ‘every’ pony in Equestria—even their princesses! I drained them so hard; they were lucky… or rather ‘unlucky’… to be walking corpses! Even Twilight Sparkle ran away from me!
“Our battle was inevitable… and she bested me!” Tirek roughly sighed. “But ever since that day, it only strengthened my resolve to come back again! Which is why they should’ve destroyed me when they had the chance!”
Through it all, Cozy Glow stood her ground. While the centaur knitted away, she stood silently and thought to herself. True, she too managed to almost steal all of Equestria’s magic and she nearly got away with it too. But then she was defeated by those friendship students. Why? Because she left them captured, leaving them ample time to escape without her knowledge. And it all came back to bite her flank… hard.
“So, what you’re saying is…” Cozy began. “That it’s best to… um… kill your enemies instead of leaving them as prisoners?”
“Yes…” Tirek spoke, his vigorous knitting calmed. “I mean, sure, sometimes its fun watching prisoners get tortured. But at the end of the day, to win the day, it’s more effective to kill your enemies when you have the chance. Not even Chrysalis or Sombra did that. Maybe those Sirens… or even Ventrys, but they all still made that one simple mistake.
“I admit I’ve made mistakes too. It’s like for every success we have, we simply can’t… win. And I don’t know why.”
Cozy Glow nodded her head in understanding, choosing not to continue the conversation any further. Instead, she noticed Tirek’s string was running very low by now.
“Would you like some more yarn?”
“No…” The centaur answered. “I think I’ll just read… leave me alone.”
“Okay.”
And with a shrug, the little Pegasus fluttered off leaving Tirek in his own ‘peace’. Tirek proceeded to take the finished product, eyeing all the details for a moment, before approaching a wall and proceeded to hang it up on an embedded nail. Tirek then proceeded to go to a bookshelf and reached for an old book. He slowly opened the book, revealing a deep hole where a dagger sat inside. Tirek slowly lifted the knife out of the book, which he gently put back on the shelf. He eyed the dagger, his nostrils flaring as the rage returned, and then with a mighty growl he hurled the knife…
And it pierced Twilight Sparkle’s face, at the very center of Tirek’s art piece.

Uh, if this is the end, then why does it still say "incomplete?"
Up next the karaoke songs
This has been without a doubt the lengthiest journey we’ve ever had… and it was totally worth it! A wedding erupting in chaos, a bout between good and evil, true love revealed, and some wicked musical numbers (Which unfortunately we couldn’t share the lyrics here, so you’ll have to settle for this condensed chapter). Plus we’ve taken a few extra measures to add a slight bit of intensity that is sure to carry on for future projects. A gnawing mystery that fans have been scratching about with this story and we know our fans are dying to know what’s really going on. Otherwise, I consider this a challenge with well earned results.
Can’t wait to see what we have to deliver for the rest of this season.

Indeed PostWar.
Man, this was one heck of a adventure for our heroes. And, lot of mysteries that were given.
Wonder what will be in store next time
cliffhanger.
Any possible candiates for the next movie?
Well the villains were beaten, and Shrek and Fiona got their Happily Ever After. I can't wait for the next adventure
Man is Tirek pissed! Twilight and the others had better watch out from now on.
11561855
They already said it would be Jurassic Park, if I remember correctly.
So many revelations, so little time. Not only that, but we got to see everybody’s favorite depiction of Death be present for the baddie that caused the rest of the Shrek movies to happen!
Plus, Regina and Cersi were borrowing those lines from one Roman Torchwick, weren’t they?
I just got off from working on my other assignment(s). (I’m fortunate to have extended the deadlines…)
Be with you in a moment.

Meanwhile, back at Discord's Theater
When we last left our friends in the klutzy draconequus's theater.
Discord: (To me) "I can still dock you a day's pay, you know!"
...As I was saying...
While Twilight and friends are with Shrek, the Dazzlings (including Zoe Pink Star), came knocking down Discord's Theater, with a whole army of zombies, as well as the Black Knights and Lannister Knights who stayed behind to terrorize Ponyville.
Then, as if it wasn't enough, Chrysalis and Sombra joined the fray, with a heavy dosage of Scarecrow's patented fear gas.
I was a victim of my own worst fears. Thankfully, Shadowshion and his security force came and saved the day.
Me (Phantom-Dragon): "GET AWAY FROM ME!!! GET..." (The antidote cleared up my system) "Huh? What? Where-Where am I?" (Looked over to see Pyro) "Pyro? What's...what's happening?"
I looked around to see we've got a big mess going on. Because of Discord's so-called "security", his theater has become a battlefield between good and evil, once again.
Me (Phantom-Dragon): (Facepalm) "Aw crud... I knew I should've just retired sooner and spend my life with Rain Shine. Now I have to, once again, clean up a big mess here in the theater..." (I focused my magic and changed into my longma form)

My commentary might come tomorrow, everyone.
It’s getting pretty late where I’m at currently. And I was asked to come into work early tomorrow morning.
I’ll try to see if I can get as much done tonight if possible so I can at least get something out for you all.

I cracked open a can of lemonade.
Me: Here we go watch the merry band, for the story’s climax is at hand.
Izzy: Ooh, that was a great rhyme!
Zipp: Why’d you rhyme there?
Me: (shrugs) I’ve been reading Shakespeare as of late.
Zipp: Ugh! I hate cue cards!
Pipp: They are so the worst!
Me: It has its benefits, most of the time it’s just being lazy.
Izzy: Ssh, ssh, ssh! We’re watching a wedding!
Hitch: Why’s she…oh, it’s because of the setting sun.
Sunny: (worried) Come on, come on, where are they?
Zipp: Of course they’re here.
Sunny: What are they planning?
Sunny: Uh…what is she talking about?
Me: No idea. I’ve never seen the show.
Sunny: (apprehensive) Red…wedding?
Me: Okay, in all fairness, I’ve also never followed that show either, but…if we’re going off of the Red Prom deal, then I wouldn’t put it past her.
Me: Is their being there in a fairytale world affecting their lingo? Not that there’s nothing wrong with that, no way—it can be done effectively if done right, but what exactly does that add to the villains? Absolutely nothing. Nothing of what they are doing makes them stand out and memorable, which in my eyes, means they’ve lost.
Zipp: Yeah…yeah, that sounds right.
Hitch: I think he means: what did they add to the story?
Sunny: Ooh…that’s right, right?
Me: Yep, that’s basically it.
Zipp: I think it worked better in the last one.
Me: I agree with ya there.
Sunny: Oh, no, they’re about to say it!
Izzy: If they don’t make it in time, then it will be too late, and Fiona’s curse won’t break, ‘cause she doesn’t love Farquaad!
Zipp: Okay, we…we get the picture.
Me: Yep, just cause some wanton destruction while scaring the “fearless” guards out of their suits of armor.
Hitch: Yikes, let’s just hope Sparky doesn’t do that.
Me: (drinks) Isn’t that the point? To charge in all heroic-like?
Izzy: Aren’t they going to do that anyway?
Haven: I’m afraid you’re a little late for that.
Alphabittle: I’m pretty sure we can wave that off.
Haven: (shrugs)…sure.
Me: (with Donkey, singing) Then you got to, got to try a little tenderness! (speaking) The chicks love that romantic crap!
Pipp: (groaning into hooves) Why did he say it like that?
Zipp: Uh oh!
Me: This is going to have a payoff, right?
Zipp: Do something! Hurry!
Hitch: Jeez, that was a powerful entrance!
Izzy: Me too! Me too! (does wave)
Audience: Go, go, Gryffindor! Go, go, Gryffindor!
Zipp: Yeah, no one likes you!
Sunny: Zipp!
Zipp: What?
Hitch: Take it easy, girls. Now’s not the time.
Sunny: She’s right! Farquaad’s not your true love!
Pipp: Valid, but…
Zipp: That’s the best you got?
Me: As funny as it is that the cue card guy’s got a card for “Laugh”, it’s my least favorite cue card in existence.
Sunny: Nothing about this is funny!
Hitch: Wait, really?
Me: Yep. It’s very hard not to see right through the lines. Something about the two just click, ya know?
Audience: No!
Just for the sake of it, I decided to take out an acoustic guitar for the melody.
Me: You guys are lucky that you’re getting live music.
Zipp: Shut it.
Hitch: Go on, Spike. You can do it.
Sunny: This is so sweet!
Pipp: I love it~!
Izzy: I love how Plymouth can play it like it’s nothing! Aah, how does he do it?!
Shrek & Spike (Sings):
It’s a big bright beautiful world.
I see it now, I’ll let it in.
I’ll tear down a wall
And clear a spot for two
To be with you.
As the song winded down, I replaced the guitar and rejoined my seat.
Pipp: Oh, my glitter, that was amazing!
Hitch: I loved your performance!
Me: Thanks, guys.
Izzy: How’d you do it?
Me: I don’t know, I just…flowed with the music, I guess.
Sunny: Did it work?
Zipp: Ugh…I don’t want to watch this.
Sunny: Don’t do it, Fiona!
Alphabittle: What the—
Haven: Huh?
Sunny: It’s the Fairytale creatures!
Izzy: Hooray!
Zipp: Says you!
Me: Believe it or not, royal marriages back in the day were primarily for political and selfish reasons.
Zipp: I believe it.
Sunny: That’s his dad?
Zipp: Wait a minute…that means Farquaad’s part dwarf!
Izzy: He’s a “fairytale freak” too!
The audience laughed ironically at that.
Zipp: This is just like how the royal family couldn’t fly.
Me: (sarcasm) But for totally different reasons than Farquaad, right?
Zipp: …Sure, let’s go with that.
Hitch: Is the castle even paid off?
Sprout: Probably not.
Me: I have a particular fondness for Halflings myself, hobbits, especially.
Zipp: Where is that coming from?
Me: I’ve never found out, myself.
Sunny: (worried) Ooh, here it comes…!
Hitch: Just about everything.
Me: Oh, now that would be cool!
Zipp: Here comes the big fight scene!
Haven: Oh, hoofness, here we go again.
Me: (deadpan) Oh, yeah. I forgot about them.

Me: Like that will ever last.
Sonata Dusk: Forcing them to do against their will?! That makes me sick!
Me: Same here.
Me: Me thinks Fiona is rushing so she won't transform in front of her 'groom'.
Me: Murder at a wedding, taking away happiness, that makes me so mad!
Sonata Dusk: Ditto!
Me: Yep, really haisty...
Me: Yeah, otherwise we'd end up getting ourselves killed!
Me: *with Donkey* Look, you love this woman, don’t you?
Me: *with Donkey* You wanna hold her?
“Yes.”
Me: PLEASE HER?!
Me: *with Donkey* Then you got to, got to try a little tenderness! The chicks love that romantic crap!
Sonata Dusk: Boy do I know it~!
Me: Medieval spying~
Me: Oh dear...
Sonata Dusk: It's already past the line!
Me: *with Shrek* I OBJECT!!!
Me: Not the time, Pinkie!
Me: Damn straight!
Me: You're really pushing it, small fry...
Me: Preach it, Spike!
Me: *nudging Discord while bouncing my eyebrows who turns in denial*
Me: *ready for the song*

very nice.

At that moment, the phone suddenly rang.
Me: Just a minute.
I then rushed out of the theater to the lobby.
Me: (picks up) Hello? This is Plymouth speaking.
Silver Shill: (speaks into mic) "BRONIES!!! CA Commentators! This is Silver Shill alerting! The sharks are in the building! I repeat! THE SHARKS ARE IN THE BUILDING! This! Is! NOT! A! DRILL! Prepare for Operation: Rainbow Rocks!"
I soon hung up the phone and searched through my desk, and found the exact memo as named. I took out my reading glasses and quickly read through them. It was certainly interesting, but made logical sense, and had the chance to be “a real hoot,” as they say.
Me: Alright then: what to sing? What to sing?
>>next
11561908
Bonus
Arctic: *feels his phone ring and answers it hearing Silver Shill's announcement as he gets up* Excuse me, girls. Got to go, girls.I have to handle something.
Sci-Twi: Everything ok? (She asked looking over towards Arctic)
Rainbow Dash: Yeah, what’s wrong? (She wondered)
Arctic: Just, gotta handle something, is all. Not to worry. (He said with a small reassuring smile) Until then, you girls would have to watch the rest without me.
Rarity: Are you sure you’ll be alright? We can help you if there’s trouble.
Arctic: I’m sure, Rarity. Besides, this is gonna be some personal business. (He mentioned)
Fluttershy: O-Ok. Be careful.
Arctic: Not to worry, I will Flutters. (He said and then looked over to Pinkie) Oh, Pinkie. Mind giving me a guitar to borrow?
Pinkie Pie: Sure thing Acey! (She said and reach into her hair and pulled out a purple guitar) Here you go! (She said handing it over)
Arctic: Ah, Perfect. (He said as takes it) Well, gotta get prepared. Have fun with the rest of the movie girls. (He said and walked off to get prepared for Operation Rainbow Rocks)
Fluttershy: Y-You think he’ll be ok? (She asked a little bit worried)
Applejack: I’m sure he will be ok Fluttershy.
The other Rainboooms nodded their heads having trust in their friend as they turned their attention towards the screen as it begins to start again.

Take your time.
It’s past my bedtime here. And I was in the middle of my other assignment(s), when Mr. E’s rotten timing called.
As Robin Williams once quoted:
This won’t be the first time a Shrek villain (or any villain in this series, for that matter) will see that mysterious wolf… nor the last.
11561926
*Sonata and I are moved by the song*
Me: Urge...To kill...Rising!...
Me: GAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Sonata Dusk: Yes!
Me: I think the cavalry's here~!
Me: Grumpy~!
Sonata and I: Oooooooooooooooh~!
Me: Petty little fool.
Me: Transformation time!
Me: Bizam!
Sonata Dusk: Yay~!
Me: *nods with a smile*
Me: D'OH!
*In Hell*
Blitz: *on his phone when his head lifts as if he heard something. Shrugs and returns to his thing*
Me: *as Stewie Griffin* Say Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?!
Sonata Dusk: Snow White?!
Me: *feels sick and barfs on the side*
Grubber: Oh, that is disgusting!
Sonata Dusk: You wouldn't!
Sonata Dusk: No! She can't just give herself up!
Me: What choice does she have Sonata?
Aria: Non! That's what!
*I slash Aria on the muzzle making her yelp in pain as her muzzle bleeds*
Me: Now you've done it!
Me: If I ever get my hooves on that centur...!
Me: ...What a twist~!
Me: Aideose! Have a nice trip! Von voety! Farewell to thee~!
Me: It's showtime~! *rings a wrestle bell*
Sonata and I: Oh get over yourself!
Me: Ha Ha!
Sonata Dusk: W-W-W-What's that?...
*While all in the theater seemed a bit unnerved by the presence of the wolf, I merely smiled for what I saw was... an old friend*
Me: With that, the reign of Lord Farquaad is over~!
*All in the theater cheer*
11561963
Me: Start talking!
Sonata Dusk: Yeah!
Me: Riddles...
Sonata and I *with them* Awwwwwwww....
Sonata Dusk: Oooooh, magic~!
Me: *teary eyed* Oh I knew this was gonna be a happy ending...
11561970
Sonata and I sing along with them while standing.
Sonata and I Theeeeeeeee Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeend~!
Everyone gave their applause and adoration to the newly married couple, ending this day with a joyous celebration of love and acceptance. And yet, the fun had only just begun…Me: Hit it~!
*Sonata and I sing along to the song while dancing. During our dance, we lands blows on Chrysalis and the Dazzlings, even slashing Adagio's tail*
Me: And things can trick us if we're not careful.
*Sonata and I greet the Happily Ever After girls*
Me: Pleasure to meet you girls. Say Maddie, I have a question: Why is a raven like a writing desk?
Maddie: Like my father, I haven't the slightest idea~!
*We all laugh.
After a karaoke dance that sent Chrysalis and the Dazzlings packing, Sonata and I walk out of the theater*
Sonata Dusk: Hey, Hunter?
Me: Yeah?
Sonata Dusk: I just got thinking about the girls back in the human world and how my sisters and I made trouble for them. After turning over a new leaf, I feel like I should probably make amends for what I did.
Me: That's sounds like a good idea. I'll contact my friend Arctic to tell him about setting up a trip to the human world so you can make amends with the girls there.
Sonata Dusk: Thanks Hunter, you really are a friend.
*We hug and walk off to our separate things. I decide I should help Shrek and Fiona find a place for their honeymoon. I wait until all are out of the theater and I go to the magic TV and activate it. I step through the portal and venture to the fairytale world*
11561861
Jurassic Park, eh? I can imagine Cheese Sandwich singing the Weird Al song for this one!
*Currently fighting the Dazzlings.
Me: "Does anyone have a bottle of beer for me?"

Depends on what brand you prefer. Budweiser, Bud Light, Miller, Heineken… oh, I do have an old German classic:
*Pulls out a brand*

Meanwhile, back at Discord's Theater
<<Previous
After Shadowshion had cleared up the fear gas, he and his security forces were left to handle Queen Chyrsalis and Sombra, and some of the zombies.
This just leaves me, Discord, and our friends, with the Dazzlings. We took the fight outside...
Pharynx: "NOOOOOOOT!!!"
HunterBrony: Like that will ever last.
Big Mac: (With HunterBrony) "Nope."
Massager and guest-stars react.
Shadowshion and his group react.
Sonata Dusk: Forcing them to do against their will?! That makes me sick!
HunterBrony: Same here.
Big Mac: "Eeyup."
Princess Skystar: (Rolls her eyes) "I know right? It's like mom telling me to clean my room. Or making me eat my sea cucumbers. And brush my fins." (Gets a stern glare from Queen Novo)
Shining Armor: "Normally, I'd cry at just about every weddings I've ever been to. But this...this is...just...wrong!"
Princess Cadence: (To Shining Armor) "I couldn't have said it better myself, honey..."
Massager and guest-stars react.
Shadowshion and his group react.
Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Uh...how about...no?"
Matilda: (To Cranky) "Ain't like they can hear us, honey..."
HunterBrony: Me thinks Fiona is rushing so she won't transform in front of her 'groom'.
Tempest Shadow: (To Hunter) "What gave that away?"
Massager and guest-stars react.
Shadowshion and his group react.
Thorax: (Experiences Queen Chrysalis PTSD) "...No..."
Massager and guest-stars react.
Shadowshion and his group react.
Sweetie Belle: (Points her hoof) "MONSTEEEEERRRRRRR!!!!"
Massager and guest-stars react.
Shadowshion and his group react.
Pharynx: "...Okay. I know us changelings have had a reputation for crashing the Royal Canterlot Wedding. But that's just sick!"
Thorax: "I'll say!" (Stuck his tongue out)
HunterBrony: Murder at a wedding, taking away happiness, that makes me so mad!
Sonata Dusk: Ditto!
Massager and guest-stars react.
Shadowshion and his group react.
HunterBrony: Yep, really haisty...
Starlight Glimmer: "Twilight...friends...wherever you are. You better hurry!"
Massager and guest-stars react.
Shadowshion and his group react.
At this moment, I(Phantom-Dragon), was tossed back into the movie theater, with the Dazzlings on the attack.
The Dazzlings were fighting me with their bloodcurdling sonic screams, and were also blasting me with their Force Lightning. But I kept on getting back up and fighting them off with my martial arts.
Adagio Dazzle: (To me) "Are you seriously this stupid? Did you honestly believe a mortal brony like you could stand a chance against sirens, like me?"
Aria Blaze: "Or me?"
Zoe Pink Star: (To me) "You're about as dumb as Sonata!"
Me (Phantom-Dragon): (Dizzy) "I...I may not be...so smart....or talented...or even strong, like Twilight...but I...I've got friends! And that's all that matters...Oh..." (I collapsed onto the floor)
Mina: (Holds me up) "Doc! Are you okay?"
Crazy Steve: (As a waterboy, came running towards me) "Hub-bub-bub-bub-bub!" (Fans me with a towel, before he squirted me awake with a canister of water, then walks away) "Hub-bub-bub-bub-bub!"
Me (Phantom-Dragon): (Rejuvenated) "I'm okay...I'm ready..."
Mina: (To me) "Okay, Doc. LET! THEM! HAVE IT!"
Discord: (To me) "Here. Drink this!" (Gives me a strange bottle)
I took the bottle and chugged it in my mouth and...I did a spit-take and...I got drunk.
Me (Phantom-Dragon): "WHA–WHAT!?! That..." (I worked up a slobber) "...WHat are you trying to do to me, Discord? Poison me?!"
Discord: (To me) "It's my special wine! Aged perfectly for thousands of years! You're going to lose if you don't drink it, so just go ahead."
Me (Phantom-Dragon): "Uh...okay..." (And so, I drank the whole bottle)
*Glug glug glug glug glug glug*
Aria Blaze tried to get the jump on me, but I narrowly dodged her attack and smashed the bottle at her face.
Discord: (Throws another bottle at Phantom-Dragon) "HERE! Have another! And another!"
I(Phantom-Dragon) caught the bottles and proceeded to smash both of them against Adagio and Zoe's heads, before I proceeded to chug the whole contents down.
Mina: (Looking at Phantom-Dragon in bewilderment) "Two at once?!"
Krystal: "I don't think that's such a good idea..."
Discord: "Don't worry about it. It gives him powers."
Massager and guest-stars react.
Shadowshion and his group react.
Soon enough, I(Phantom-Dragon) was completely bloated and flushed after overdrinking so many beers that Discord had me drinking. Soon enough, I(Phantom-Dragon), proceeded to resume drunken boxing against the Dazzlings and their zombies. I was fighting them like Jackie Chan from Drunken Master
I jumped and rolled across a Wight's back to fight off one of its comrades, with a kick through its chest. Then, I proceeded to twist my whole body into a tornado, landing a flurry of kicks, punches, and chops at the zombies, breaking them to pieces. Together with my drunken boxing, my magic was used to fire explosive fireballs that blasted the Dazzlings and the zombies. Meanwhile, Storm Shield, Shining Armor, Flash Magnus, and Shadowshion made sure to keep the crowds back, so that no one would be hit by a friendly fire from me.
Me (Phantom-Dragon): (Drunk) *HIC*
Adagio Dazzle: (Disgusted and humiliated) "KILL HIIIM!!"
A lot of the zombie Stormtroopers, Nightsister zombies, and Wights lunged forward to attack me. But I kept on standing my grounds and fighting them off, like how I defy the downvotes and trollish neigh sayers.
Speaking of which, I happened to drink a drink called: DOWNVOTES. I drank it and–
Me (Phantom-Dragon): "BLECH!" (Spitting the disgusting liquid) "What the hay was that?!"
Discord: (Reads the bottle and looks at me) "What does it mean to you when there's a picture of a skull?"
Me (Phantom-Dragon): (Drunk) "OH! Good stuff."
My fire mane and tail was really on fire, after all the alcohols that I drank. I was really fired up to take down the Dazzlings with my own bare hooves.
Adagio tried to hit me with her Force Lightning, but I(Phantom-Dragon) was so drunk, and loopy, that I just couldn't stand still. I was practically untouchable, as I was weaving, like how a drunk person would move, to throw off her aim, while I'm really getting into the groove.
Me (Phantom-Dragon): (Drunk) "Hey hot stuff!" *HIC* "You wanna dance?! Let's-a dance!"
Adagio cringed and tries to throw a punch at me, but I blocked and caught her hoof, before I retaliated with a backslap to her face, from my hoof. Adagio tried to fight back, but I was bending and ducking my head to avoid getting hit, until I did a backflip, kicking her beneath her chin.
Me (Phantom-Dragon): (Drunk) "My wife can hit harder than thaaaaat~" *HIC*
Aria Blaze and Zoe Pink Star both attacked me from the left and right, but I ducked down and they ended up hitting each other. I stood up and pulled them by their noses and smashed their faces together.
Me (Phantom-Dragon): (Drunk) "Monkey smashes siren heads..."
Adagio jumps at me again, but I intercepted her with a fast punch to her chest, breaking her red gem, and crushing her lungs.
Adagio Dazzle: (Gasping for air) "Hck! HCK!"
Me (Phantom-Dragon): (Drunk) "What's the matter? Fish having trouble breathing?"
I grabbed Adagio by the tail, and I bit her.
Adagio Dazzle: (Screams in pain) "OOOOOWWWWWWW–OOMPH!" (I stuffed an apple into her mouth)
Then, without warning, I kicked her in the stomach, causing the apple to fly out of her mouth.
Me (Phantom-Dragon): "HI-YAH!" (I chopped her back, breaking her spine with my head)
Me (Phantom-Dragon): (Drunk) "Chef Louie makes Les Poissons~!"
Aria Blaze tried to get the jump on me. She kicked me from behind, causing me stumble forward a little. But then I bent my back and caught her by the throat.
Me (Phantom-Dragon): (Drunk) "DOWN THE HATCH!!!"
Aria swatted my hoof away, as I dropped to the floor, and jumped up, hitting my horn into her you-know-what.
Aria Blaze: (With her face flushing pink) "AAAAHHH!!!"
Me (Phantom-Dragon): (Drunk) "Wheel barrow!" (I held Aria by the tail and forced her to crawl across the floor on her flippers, until I decided to spin her into a tornado) "SHARKNADO!!!"
I spun her around, knocking down every zombies like bowling pins.
Aria Blaze: (Spinning) "WHOA-OOOOO-OOOOOO-OOOOO!!! HEY KNOCK IT OFFF!!!"
Me (Phantom-Dragon): (Drunk) "(旋火踢) (Men Shao Ti)!!!" (I executed the said move, kicking Aria into the air, before I followed-up) Ránshāo fēng! (燃烧风) (Ran Shao Feng)!!!" (The follow-up move, my fiery wings exploded and roasted Aria Blaze like a cooked fish)
Me (Phantom-Dragon): (Drunk) "Mmmmm. Me smell cooked fish. Me want sushi! Me call Sunset Shimmer and have her make me Siren Sushi!"
At the last remark, the Dazzlings were beyond disturbed at the notion of being made into sushi...by Sunset Shimmer.
Desperate, and fearing for their lives, Adagio and Aria fired Force Lightnings at me. Trouble is...I was trained by the best to to take in negative energy and redirecting it back.
Me (Phantom-Dragon): (Drunk with power) "HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
I jumped at the Dazzlings, biting Adagio at the neck, causing her to bleed, before I moved onto Aria and jabbed a fiery punch to an eye, and lastly, I had Zoe Pink Star backed up against a wall, and threw a flurry of punches and kicks at her chest, beating her senselessly to the point she couldn't breathe.
Adagio Dazzle: (Fed up) "ENOUGH ALREADY!!!" (Uses the Force to stop me in my track, trying to choke me)
I was rendered immobile as Aria Blaze and Zoe Pink Star all got clean shots to beat me to a pulp.
Me and the Dazzlings paused for a moment to catch our breaths, after we had exchanged blows. The codfish bitches with their Force Lightning and Siren voice, against my Drunken Master Boxing.
Me (Phantom-Dragon): (Drunk and panting) “Well, c’mon…is that all you…” (Something even more terrifying scared the drunk out of me) “AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!”
Zoe Pink Star: (To me) “What’s the matter? Can’t…Lost your bravado?” (She gets picked up and was deep fried in a pot of oil)
There, standing in the doorway stood Rain Shine…with a bulging belly…and as a Nirik.
static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp-gameloft/images/3/33/Nirik_Rain_Shine_Inventory.png/revision/latest?cb=20221201070611
Rain Shine: (In one of her mood swings) “WHO. HURT. MY. HUSBANDO?!”
The audience: (Blinking awkwardly before they pointed) “The Dazzlings!”
With that, Rain Shine proceeded to roast the Dazzlings alive, like Chef Louis making Les Poissons. But minus the part where you cut off the fish’s head and pull out their bones…though, the Dazzlings are gonna wish she had done that from the start…
The Dazzlings were on the floor, burnt, bruised, and dazed.
Adagio Dazzle: (Dazed and seeing stars) “…body language…”
Rain Shine: (Turns to me) “OKAY, Phantom-Darling! Now you get yours!”
My eyes shrunk to the size of dots, knowing I’m in big trouble now.
Me (Phantom-Dragon): “AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!” (I took off running for dear life, trying to get away from my pregnant and angry wife)
Rain Shine: ”PHANTOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!”

Canterlot Mall Theater, Discord's Branch
Rainbow Dash: That’s just sad. (She mentioned)
Fluttershy: Those poor people, being forced into this (she said sadly)
Applejack: It’s them again. (She mentioned with a small glare)
[bSci-Twi: I’m still, trying to figure out what they’re up to. And, who could they have prisoner still.
The Rainbooms felt a bit uneasy as a chill went down their spines. They felt hate towards Cersei and Regina. However, they couldn’t help but feel a bit of fear from them.
Fluttershy: Oh no, w-what if they don’t make it?
Rarity: They’ll make it darling. I just know it. (The fashionista said to the shy girl)
Pinkie Pie: Yeah! Take it from Dashie, charging in without a plan is bad.
Rainbow Dash: (she would looked away slightly from the party girl words) I don’t do that no more, well..at least try to that is.
Rarity: His not wrong, though the phrasing could’ve been better.
Sci-Twi: Come on Shrek!
Fluttershy: p-please make it.
Applejack: Now, that’s what I call a voice
Rainbow Dash: Yeah! wedding has been crashed
Pinkie Pie: Me too! I always love that! (She said happily doing a wave of her own)
Rainbow Dash: Uh, Pinkie. (The rainbow hair girl begins to say)
Applejack: Not the best time sugarcube.
Pinkie Pie: (she then stops letting out a small pout) Aw, ok girls.
Rainbow Dash: Yeah tiny! Zip it!
Sci-Twi: They’re here to stop the wedding.
Rarity: And, have Fiona be with her one true love.
Rarity: They’re right!
Sci-Twi: Every single word of it
Fluttershy: P-Please, pick Shrek.
The Rainbooms couldn’t help but glare at Farquaad and seeing him making everyone else laugh with him.
Pinkie Pie: (she giggles softly) I wonder if there is a Discord in our word? (She said in her thoughts)
Rainbow Dash: His making it REALLY hard not to do it.
Applejack: Eeyup. (She said agreeing with her)
The Rainbooms, especially Rarity. Were touched and smiling softly, from the scene unfold hearing both Shrek and Spike singing.
Rainbooms: Don’t Fiona! (They shouted out together)
Fluttershy: It’s the fairy tale creatures! (She said starting to have a smilie)
Sci-Twi: Made it just in time.
Rainbow Dash: Ha! Short stack is totally outnumbered now.
The Rainbooms were also shocked, seeing this being revealed.
Sci-Twi: That’s his dad?!
Applejack: Wait, wouldn’t that mean that.. (she begins to say)
Pinkie Pie: Yep! His part Fairy Tail creature too! (She said to her friends)
Rainbow Dash: HA! All that talk about saying they’re freaks, turns out he was one himself.
Rarity: Still, can’t believe he’ll do that to his own father.
Applejack: Now, that just low. Abandoning your own family.
Fluttershy: O-Oh no. She’s about to turn back.
Rarity: It’ll be ok Fluttershy..we hope it will. (She said placing a hand onto her shoulder)
There was some sighs in relief in the theater. The Rainbooms had a small smile seeing Shrek now understanding what she had met when he heard her.
Rainbow Dash: Aw yeah! Time for their butts to get kicked!
Sci-Twi: But..why does it feel like we are forgetting something? (She said)
Fluttershy: O-Oh no. (The shy girl said worried seeing Cersei and Regina coming face to face with Princess Twilight and her friends)

The movie premiered at the Mann Village Theatre In Westwood, and was later shown at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival, where it competed for the Palme d'Or, making it the first animated film since Disney's Peter Pan to be chosen to do so.
It was then theatrically released by on May 18th grossing over $491 million worldwide, becoming the fourth highest-grossing film of the year. It was widely praised by critics for its animation, voice performances, soundtrack, writing and humor, which they noted catered to both adults and children. Shrek was nominated for the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay and was the first to win for Best Animated Feature. It earned six nominations at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), winning for Best Adapted Screenplay.
The film's success helped establish DreamWorks Animation as a competitor to Pixar in feature film computer animation.
At the Universal Studios parks, Dreamworks created a 4-D motion based attraction that told a story after the first film that even appeared on DVD to prepare audiences for something to come.

Shrek is regarded as one of the most influential animated films of the 2000s. In 2020, The United States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry.
This gets to show how human we are no matter in the inside or on the outside, when either one of us is love with the other, either human, nonhuman or a different species. It doesn’t matter what we look like, where we come from or religion either one of us believe in. It matters as long as there’s love in the world. Who are we as a society to takeaway love as long as the two are happy to be together for the rest of their lives.

Oh yes I remember being in that Shrek 4-D Ride with my family in Universal Studios Singapore! Ah good times back in 2015 when I was just 14 years old before the COVID Pandemic.
Thanks death dude was annoying.

At this moment, I(Phantom-Dragon), was tossed back into the movie theater, with the Dazzlings on the attack.Meaning he was thrown right back through the hole in the wall, right over Izzy’s head.
Izzy: AAH!!
Pipp: Ugh! I can’t stand to hear their voices!
Izzy: Hey! That’s not nice!
Sunny: Wait, what is that?
Alphabittle: Wait a minute, that’s not milk…
Izzy: Hey, isn’t that the stuff that Plymouth’s always drinking?
Sunny: (concerned) Uh…w-well…
Zipp: (likewise) I-I saw him drinking lemonade earlier!
Izzy: Oh! Okay, nevermind.
Alphabittle: (amused) That pony sure can handle his liquor.
Haven: Don’t get any ideas.
Alphabittle: I’m not! Seriously, that stuff’s disgusting.
Zipp: He’s got some moves!
Pipp: I, so~ do not endorse this!
Hitch: I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to consume that much alcohol.
Zipp: Also, when did he get another form?
Izzy: Does alcohol set your tail on fire?
Hitch: Hoofness, no it doesn’t!
Izzy: Why did he change the sound of his voice?
Zipp: That’s gotta hurt.
Sunny: (cringes) Ooh, okay that’s a bit too much, Phantom!
Izzy: Who’s Chef Louie?
Pipp: I don’t wanna know.
Hitch: WOAH!!! Okay, we did not need to see that!
Zipp: Aah, now I can’t unsee that!
Hitch: Alcohol’s bad for you, foals!
Sunny: Okay, uh…this is going a bit too far.
Zipp: Yeah, I agree with you…but they honestly deserve it.
Sunny: WOAH!!
Izzy: (closes her eyes) YIKES!!
Hitch: I—okay!
Pipp: (scared) Is she…dead?
Zipp: I…don’t think so.
Sunny: Is she…not a nightmare this time?
Hitch: Yeah, I think she’s real.
Zipp: And very angry.
Haven: Oh, no.
Alphabittle: What?
Haven: She’s in another mood swing.
Alphabittle: Mood sw—oh…oh, okay.
The audience, including the one from the future: (Blinking awkwardly before they pointed) “The Dazzlings!”
Izzy: Uh…they did it!
Haven: (shakes her head) Stallions don’t like a lot of blabber.
Sunny: Wait what?
Haven: (uninvolved) Now you must go and help your wife.
Izzy: I’m sure they’ll be fine!
Zipp: (unsure) Right…as rain.
Izzy: Yep!
I then returned to the theater, shuffling a handful of papers.
Izzy: Whatcha got there?
Me: Part of Operation: Rainbow Rocks: an incentive in case of this exact emergency in the cinema. The only problem is I can’t seem to decide what to sing.
Pipp: (looking over) What about that one?
Me: (looks over) Hmm…(gets an idea) I have an idea: why don’t you sing it, Pipp?
Pipp: U—huh? I-I mean, uh…sure, yeah I’ll sing it.
Me: (hands over the paper) You’ll probably only get to sing the refrain. I’ll signal you when to do so. (notices another paper) Sunny, Izzy, and Zipp: you’ll sing this one. (hands it over).
Zipp: Wait, what is this song?
Izzy: I don’t know, but I love it!
Me: You guys’ll go after Pipp. I’ll signal you when to. (hands another paper to Hitch)
Hitch: (reads it over) So, I’ll just sing the refrain?
Me: Yep. And…, Sprout can do a duet with you and Jazz and Rocky will sing the chorus.
Sprout: Huh?
Jazz & Rocky: Sure!
Me: And I’ll take this one. (selects paper) And now, we’ll just wait.

Meanwhile, back at Discord’s Theater
When we last left off, Phantom-Dragon was drinking himself drunk in order to become the drunken master, like his hero — Jackie Chan.
Just as he was turning the tides of the battle against the Dazzlings, his pregnant wife Rain Shine enters the fray.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t a happy reunion.
Me (Phantom-Dragon): (Running for my life) “RAIN SHINE! PLEASE! YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE!!!”
Rain Shine: “TREASOOOONNN!!!” (Fires a fireball at me)
Is this how Twilight feels when Sunset Shimmer turns over to the Dark Side? Because now I completely understand how Twilight feels now…
Me (Phantom-Dragon): “OW! I love you, Rain Shine! I do! I really do! I was planning on retiring soon so I can be with you and look after our child!”
Rain Shine: “NO EXCUSE!!!” (Attacked me with another blast of fire, which I blocked) “You left me alone in my hour of needs! You left me with an unborn child! You were planning to run out on me like all those unfaithful men I’ve heard about!”
Me (Phantom-Dragon): “No, Rain Shine! I wasn’t running from you! I was giving you some space to calm down! You fired me out of a volcano! Remember?!”
Rain Shine: “A LIKELY STORY!!!”
I(Phantom-Dragon) was running around the theater, chased by my angry wife, who is so dead set on doing more than just blasting me out of a volcano! At last, she got me cornered.
Rain Shine: “Hell hath no fury than a Kirin scorned!”
I(Phantom-Dragon) picked up Aria Blaze and Adagio Dazzle by their tails, using them as weapons.
Me (Phantom-Dragon): “Rain Shine! Stand back! I’ve got a nunchucks! And I’m not afraid to use them!!”
But Rain Shine was unfazed. At this point, she had reduced these two bitches to whimpering fish sticks.
Adagio Dazzle: (To me) “Uh…c-c-c-can you l-l-let us go n-n-now?”
Aria Blaze: (To me) “Y-Y-Yeah, I-I-I’d like to go before I get beaten up with you. Please let us go!”
Me (Phantom-Dragon): (To the two sirens) “Oh, don’t worry! I ain’t letting you codfishes go!”
Adagio Dazzle: “ZOE PINK STAR! HELP!”
Zoe Pink Star: (Still sizzling after being cooked in hot oils) “…Help?”
And just like that, Rain Shine proceeded to beat me senseless, along with both Adagio Dazzle and Aria Blaze.
Later
Rain Shine: (In another of her emotional mood swing) “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, honey. I honestly don’t know what I was thinking!” 😭😭😭😭
Rain Shine was snuggling and cuddling up with me, after I’m all bruised and battered.
Silver Shill: (To me) “…Is this what it’s been like ever since you got her pregnant?”
Me: (To Silver Shill) “No…the other day…there was the casserole…”
Autumn Blaze: (PTSD flashbacks) “We don’t talk about the casserole…”

And now, back to the CA!

Is this how Twilight feels when Sunset Shimmer turns over to the Dark Side? Because now I completely understand how Twilight feels now…The fireball-hologram went straight for Misty.
Misty: (ducks) AAH!!
Sunny: Woah!
Alphabittle: Okay, that’s a bit harsh.
Me: And heaven help anyone who gets in the way of a Nirik.
Zipp: Yeah, that’s not gonna happen.
Hitch: She’s gonna be out of it for a while.
Alphabittle: Well, that was quickly resolved.
Haven: Believe me, this is a godsend for married couples.
Izzy: (gasps) Are casseroles now jinxed?!
Me: I wouldn’t know, I’ve never eaten casseroles.

Me in this moment:
Well I wasn't expecting that cameo. Now I have to rewatch every Shrek moment where someone dies. Pretty sure Farquaad didn't go out immediately and is still digesting.
Also still no clue what Howdy's deal is. Clearly a wild card. Take all the time that's needed for the next one. Looking forward to JP and "The Doctor" in particular.

I just realized you used the Dirty Dan/Pinhead Larry reference from Spongebob right at the end. Loved that spongebob episode!

You know Death?

There’s a possibility that Death is going to appear at ANY death during the Mane Six’s Multiversal adventures.

Discord's Theatre, Galaxy Branch
Sunset Shimmer: Ugh, seriously?
Han Solo: They really do that just to make the people react?
Leia Organa: They're more worse than the Empire.
Lando Calrissian: Amen to that, sister.
Postwar: Didn't you betray Han and the others by selling them out to the Empire? (Awkawrd silence afterwards)
Cal Kestis: Wow.
Galen Marek: (to Sunset) You weren't kidding when you told us about them.
Sunset Shimmer: (facepalming) You have no idea.
Postwar: The CA group wanted to help the Rainbooms when they were scattered there, but they were in the quarantine regions, so we couldn't enter there.
Sunset Shimmer: Quarantine?
Postwar: Long story.
Postwar: Pff, that didn't stop them. (Motioned to Luke and the others, with them giving him a look). Well, don't look at me, you know it's the truth.
Sunset Shimmer: Did all of you really?
Others: Yeah.
Postwar: Pfff, not all of them, sometimes the adrenaline kicks in. Worked for them. (motioned to the others, even Sunset)
Sunset Shimmer: You really like to point it out bluntly, don't you?
Postwar: Am I wrong though?
Sunset Shimmer: *shivering* Man, he's terrifying.
Postwar: That's nothing, wait till you see the Joker.
Ben Solo: They're here to kick your ass, that's what!!
Leia Organa: Ben!!
Ben Solo: Sorry.
Postwar: *deadpanned and looked at both Sunset and Galen* You two were swearing near him again, weren't you? *Both gave nervous smiles, with Postwar rolling his eyes* And people think I set a bad example.
Sunset Shimmer: *groans whilst slapping her forehead*
Leia Organa: She's not very subtle, is she?
Postwar: It's Rainbow Dash, subtlety has never been her strongsuit.
Luke Skywalker: He's not wrong there, I'm afraid.
Postwar: Just like Twilight has no ability to keep a secret. Or old man Mervin.
Sunset Shimmer: Who? *Postwar points at another direction, making her look*
Mervin: I have a mole on my butt, the size of a pumpkin.
Sunset Shimmer: *disgusted and looks back* I see what you mean.
Postwar: Well, duh. He couldn't say it, cause we're guys, we don't talk about our feelings a lot.
*The girls give them a look, with the guys looking at them and nodded in confirmation*
Galen Marek: Oh sure, now they show up.
Postwar: *mocking tone* Oh sure, now you care about Sunset when she got captured and turned into a monster.
Galen looked at him angrily, with Postwar could sense what he was about to do.
Postwar: *dark tone* You had better be very sure. *grips his hand and power begins to generate, making Galen be quiet*
Everyone else also laughed when they found out about Farquaad's background.
Sunset Shimmer: Something tells me this is all going to blow up in their faces, aren't they?
Postwar: Right on the money.
Postwar: *mutters* I am so glad those two were later killed off in the series. *Gets a confused look from Sunset*
Ahsoka Tano: Whoa, they're even worse than the emperor.
Postwar: Sweetheart, nothing is more worse than the emperor.
All: Agreed.
Cal Kestis: Clearly, Maddie's uncle is very powerful.
Luke Skywalker: Indeed. For there are more to things than meet the eye.
Sunset Shimmer: Whoa, that was intense. But who was he?
Postwar: That would be the form of Death.
Han Solo: Death?
Postwar: Picture that when you see an Angel of Death, it is a sign that you will soon die by their hand. Death comes in many forms, and we never know what we're truly capable of until its too late.
Leia Organa: Wow, you weren't kidding about the powers of darkness.
Postwar: Some use it for good, others use it for evil. It depends how strong the will and the heart is.
Sunset Shimmer: I'm so glad to see all of them have their happy endings.
Postwar: Not all of them. But someday it will. Someday.
Postwar: At least they're lucky they have a home to go back to. Wish I was that lucky.
Leia Organa: Same here.
Postwar: Not everyone shares the same bloodlust Tirek. We're all different, even the villains.
Sunset Shimmer: He's not wrong some just do things for money and power.
Leia Organa: Just like some of my father's former friends in the Senate when the Empire took over.
