Ultimus Pendragon


I am but a soldier of the pen, with the grace of a dragon. . .unraveling fiction, one story at a time.

E

When Twilight attempts to expand her repertoire of magic, she gets more than she bargained for when she ends up switching Spike and Princess Cadence's minds, with serious repercussions should anypony find out. Between helping the Crystal Empire, helping the Magic Of Friendship spread through Equestria, and keeping Shining Armour and Flurry Heart happy, and finding a way to reverse the spell, the trio has more to worry about than ever before thanks to Twilight's recklessness.

Wish them luck.

The good ole switcheroo

What you think so far? I was racking my brain seeing if this was going to be a good idea.:rainbowlaugh:

10189639
I think you'll have to get very creative to break the usual "Freaky Friday" mould. Body/mind swaps are a common trope now, so the most interesting thing coming from this concept would be the characters themselves. I would like to see more situations that Spike/Cadence end up in that could only have ever happened to them.

10189643
In that case, just stay tuned, I have a few ideas, I'm sure I can turn things around and bring a fresh perspective to this troupe.

To quote Johnny Cage: "That's freaky like Friday!" :twilightoops:

The first section of this chapter is unnecessary and could easily be used in the description.

Cadence's first section flip-flops between past and present tense, sometimes in the same sentence.

10189639
Not gonna lie, when I saw the title I was reminded of a nsfw comic I’m reading where spike gets turned into a female, becomes dragon princess and is the happiest they’ve ever been

10189756
Sorry if I got your hopes up but maybe you might like this story when more chapters get published.:twilightsheepish:

10189759
Ehhh, not really one to read body swapping stories. I’m sure it’s a great story though!

10189759
If you would like a link to the comic, I’ll message it to you. Just keep in mind it IS nsfw

I hope there is more chapters on this your the guy of rising hope!!!!!!!!!! of course the next chapters are going to be inspiring... I'm about to reread all of your stories again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10358676
I’ll try my best. I have plenty of ideas lined up for my next chapters

The worst is that you're stuck this way...

uh huh... Hey Twi -- how would you feel if you were suddenly in love with a volcano?

What could go wrong?

Ohhh never say that because that's just tempting faith 😥

From where she could see, the Golden Oaks Libary was about a mile or so away as she came over a hill. Before she knew it, she would be meeting and talking with Twilight, and that was something that she had yet to see as good or bad, depending on how the unicorn's thought process is at.

Whoa wait a minute the Golden Oak Library and Twilight is a unicorn something tells me this is during the time in season 3 right

Edit

Cadence had multiple ponies and duties to attend to, without much regard of her own feelings, not to mention living her own life with her husband and daughter

Wait what Flurry heart is here while the Golden Oak Library still there and Twilight is a unicorn still is this like an alternate universe or something im Confuse

''And help her experiments, help her to plan events, write Princess Celestia letters, and pretty much anything that she might need, and that it kinda does give me a headache when it backfires on her,'' Spike said, scratching his chin, throwing Cadence for a loop a bit when he continued to talk about the varying escapades Twilight and by extension, Spike had to experience, such as when she went overboard over a friendship letter not being sent to Princess Celestia, to all of the issues that revolved around her.

Yeah we remember that she went totally insane it was crazy lol

Whoa so this is going to be like one of those Freaky Friday stories cool so basically Princess Cadence is having her stressful back at the Crystal Empire dealing with ponies with the problems and probably having some arguments with shining armor and then Spike felt like he's being unappreciated for what he does although it felt like the same what Cadence has was saying as well but something wrong with the spell and switch both Cadence and spike minds oh boy I wonder how this will work in this Freaky Friday

Oh boy thats not good Twilight you should have known that this kind of magic if you don't understand how this works you shouldn't mess with it I mean look what happened the last time that happened when you switch the Cutie Marks of your friends and it's going to take her this long to figure out how to put there mines switch place boy this is going to be a long day for spike and Cadence Can't wait to see how this works out

They could be stuck the way they are now, Twilight? That's a big problem! :facehoof:

Is this story going to continue on

10523135
Yes it will don’t worry. Just going over my other stories but I will be posting a chapter on Thursday

Ok so basically they had to learn from each other how to do things how the other ones do which that's going to be very hard for both of them oh Twilight you messed up big time I mean I'm sure she'll figure it out I can't wait to see how it works out

So now they can't even tell anyone, even if the spell might be permanent? :twilightoops:

10538829
Boy that makes thing more difficult 😥

10538938 Not being able to enlist the help of Shining Armor or the royal sisters complicates matters, Shining especially since he might have been able to help provide "Cadence" with cover.

10538941
Not only that things will get very awkward between Shining Armor and "Cadence" oh boy :rainbowhuh: 😳 :facehoof:

''You'll just have to work together; some sort of team effort to do what you need to. You'll be part princess, part dragon,'' Twilight chuckled at her little pun.

Roll credits! :rainbowlaugh:

But in all seriousness, this is a bit of a problem all right. Though I suppose it does give much better justification as to why they'd want to keep what happened secret at all than they'd had up until now, so...for the story's sake, I guess that's a plus.

He had a feeling his earlier thought about kissing Shining Armour may have to be a reality.

Let's hope it doesn't go any further than the kissing, first off... :twilightoops:

Okay so far nothing really happening just only Spike and Cadence are trying to figure out how to manage the Crystal Empire while spike is still Cadence and taking care of flurry heart and without shining armor getting suspicious even though he should be on board to help them out so it won't be any more harder than it already is and it won't be too awkward either if you know what I mean while Twilight still trying to figure out how to spell works and everything so with that said I hope they find a way before things got more crazy lol I can't wait to see how this will work out

Oh by the way is this a alternate story because Twilight is a unicorn and the golden old library is still there but yet flurry heart is born so I'm kind of confused is this a alternate storyline or something

''THIS IS NOT GOOD!~''

You mean it gets worse?! Good grief, just about how much more worse can this get at this point? :rainbowlaugh:

10583917
AU, my bad. Forgot to put that in the story , lol.

10583944
You’ll see. It’s gonna be hijinks galore until they get fixed, or will they get fixed?:twilightoops::rainbowlaugh:

10583944
You just basically just tempted faith lol oh boy 😅

Ok, I’ve seen that you consistently use Cadence, but that is not the name.
The full name is Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, but it is usually shortened to the nickname Cadance.

10599913
I know, I just literally was not about to try and go through trying to fit in the story, I could do it but it’d be a hassle. Plus the fandom, I would hope everyone knows her as Cadence just because it rolls off the tongue easier. But since you voiced a comment on that, may I ask what you think of the story so far or have you hit read this chapter?

10599942
no what I mean is that it is CadAnce with an A not CadEnce with an E ^^;;;
[I think that is for trademark reasons... you can't trademark a single common word but you CAN a made up one]
For the chapter I'm still reading it got a LOT of things happening today... -__-

paper bag in one claw, and apple in the other was Spike

either "and a" or "one" (if you use the "and a" remove the comma right before)

knew that one shortfall of the unicorn is her ability to be a bit of a glutton.

was

''What about you? Looks like cider from the look of it.''

Hm you get a repetition here, maybe you can replace with "Seems"

Cadence asked as Spike clapped her back in what was confirmation as he put his apple in his mouth.

This one is just a logistics one... Cadance is TALL, not as tall as Celestia but tall. Spike would struggle to reach the back of a normal pony.

''Cadence, it'd make us wrong if we didn't,'' Spike said.

Usually the form of the saying is "wrong only if"

and was replaced with a teenage mare.

Hm the Mane 6 are debated to be late teen, Cadance is for sure older than that early to mid twenties at a minimum

Taking off her crown and bringing life to her horn, she whisked away her regalia and sighed in

Small nitpick in order to take off her crown she has to use magic so she lights her horn BEFORE taking off the crown.

'Wow, Spike, that's very refreshing to hear that you think like that.

I would replace this with "It"

does my heart good to know one less pony or dragon in your case won't get too wrapped up in the thrall of rejection and misplaced emotions

pony, or dragon in your case, won't

Spike laughed at the exchange between the two as they did the Sunshine dance with her, like each of them did every time they met.

Remove this

''Yea, I think so,'' Spike said, his voice fully throwing him for a loop when Cadence's voice came out of it.

Either remove or replace with "of his mouth"(but you have to decide HOW you are going to go for the pronouns as now Spike is physically female)

Then... In general you get HUGE phrases full of subordinates and coordinates. I'm guessing that English is not your native language. [Neither is mine] So you should try and shorten the periods cutting the redundancies. You have some of the phrases that go on for three of four lines of text, it really does not flow that well.

10583944
it could be the countermeasure in the spell is fatal if info is leaked...

Twilight should've known not to tempt fate. :facehoof:

''I find that hard to believe!'' Twilight grunted and wanted nothing more but for them to be at The Crystal Empire already. ''Could this get any worse?!''

CELESTIA DAMNIT TWILIGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW BY NOW TO NEVER EVER SAY THAT LINE!!

''I fail to see how this will work,'' Cadence said as her face covering muffled some of what she said. Having the cloth not too tight, but just enough slack would hopefully make it to where air would not make it move too much to be noticeable. ''You honestly think speaking for the other will work? What if Shiny wants to kiss you?''

Yeah that's why I was trying to say on my last comment this would have been very awkward between Shining Armor and "Cadence" because he doesn't know that Spike inside Cadence body again awkward 😖

''I find that hard to believe!'' Twilight grunted and wanted nothing more but for them to be at The Crystal Empire already. ''Could this get any worse?!''

Oops Twilight you should never said that now things are going to get crazy now

So apparently Shining armor is still waiting for Cadence to return but little does he not know that Spike and Cadence had a little freaky Friday moment so this is going to be a very interesting situation and it looks like they're on our way to the Crystal Palace and meanwhile at Ponyville Twilight and Pinkie Pie trying to get to the Crystal Empire to fix this but unfortunately there was some delay so they had to use a Kart rail so they can get there saw everything kind of went downhill for them hopefully they will get there in time can't wait to see how this will work out

Was his brother that dense or that much in love?

...probably a little of both. :rainbowlaugh:

''Could this get any worse?!''

Don't say that! :facehoof:

Interesting Chatter 1 I give it 10 out 11 And if yor interested I have some ideas for fanfics you mite like to write

“My lettuce!!!~” the pony whined, being buried in lettuce.

Nice reference dude lol

Well then that was something so it looks like Cadence and Spike finally made it to the Crystal Empire and it looks like Shining Armor is out like a light after taking care of flurry heart but it looks like flurry heart got too excited and almost knocking down both "Cadence" and flurry off the castle luckily for wings and the lettuce cart caught the fall and yeah I know the reference so now I wonder how things will go and hopefully Twilight and Pinkie Pie get here soon and fix this mess

10702842
In case you didn’t see or meant the problem actually getting fixed, Twilight and Pinkie are already there. Reread it if you missed it.

Unless you meant them getting to the throne room, which they were both shot out of Pinkie’s cannon in that direction.
