Dear Aunt Celestia,
I wanted to send you this message to thank you for the gifts you gave us for our Anniversary last week, We really loved them. Especially box of Saddle Arabian chocolate. The flavor was wonderful! (Just so you know, you should replace the pieces you took out, Auntie. Almost half the box was gone before we even opened it.)
I also wanted to send this letter to let you know I am coming back to the castle tomorrow for the big meeting that is happening. I just hope Shining can manage the Empire up here on his own. He gets so worked up just like he did back as a private. Ha ha. I guess some ponies just don't change.
I hope to be there by noon or earlier. See you Soon!
With Love, Mi Amore Cadenza
PS: Can you keep Discord out of my room this time? last time he stuck a baby cragadile in my tub.
Cadance smiled as she set the quill down on her desk and reread the letter. "Alright, I think that's good enough."
In a wisp of her blue aura, the letter disintegrated and flew out the window towards Canterlot Palace. Turning to her right, the pink alicorn smiled seeing the pony she married walk inside. "Shining, there you are."
"Hey honey, nice to see you too." Shining responded as he came over and gave his wife a quick kiss. "How are you?"
"Good. Actually have to go get ready now."
"Huh?" shining raised his eyebrow as his wife began to trot towards their bedroom down the hallway. "Where are you going?"
"I have to go back to Canterlot for the annual political summit, remember?"
Shining Armor just gave a blank expression like a colt that didn't study for the test. "Uhh... no?"
"Well, it starts tomorrow and goes on for three days, so I need you to run the entire empire while I'm gone."
"Well... be careful Cadance."
Cadance stopped and turned around at the warning Shining gave her. Something about it just made her feel off. "What do you mean 'Be careful'? is Something wrong?"
The white unicorn scratched the back of his head with his hoof as he thought of how to word his sentence. "Well, some of the guards back in Canterlot still keep in touch with me just to let me know how things are. Lately, they said it has been... Weird."
Cadance lifted an eyebrow in curiosity. "Weird?"
"Yeah. They said Discord has been making a lot of big jokes and pranks around the castle lately."
"Aaaaaand... How is that weird?"
"That's not it. They said the princesses are all doing it too. Even Twiley supposedly got Luna the other day."
the crystal princesses face seemed locked like a statue for what seemed like a full minute, not even blinking once. Shining began to grow concerned about what the heck was wrong with her. "Honey? you... okay?" before he could come any closer though, she burst out laughing. "What-what's so funny?"
"T-t-Twilight is pranking!? HAHHAA!" Cadance was laughing so hard she was tearing up. "That is so good! I have always wondered when she would grow a joking sense of humor! Maybe this visit will be fun!"
Shining simply let his jaw fall open as his wife spun around and happily hopped down the hallway. "But... what if you get pranked bad?"
"Cadance turned her head and gave a surprisingly sinister grin. "Well, maybe they should meet the pony who got the entire Canterlot High Hoofball team then."
Just hearing that statement sent a chill crawling up Shining's spine as his memories kicked in. "That wasn't funny! I still have sore spots from that glue in my helmet!"
Good lord...Cadence was a prankster, too?
And according to the comics, Shining was not a member of the hoofball team. He played D&D.
3687066 Maybe in his last couple years?

3687066 ehh... Never read the comics
3687125 Okay. I didn't know if you were counting the comics continuity and I was just playing devil's advocate.
3687066 Well maybe he didn't, but that doesn't mean Cadence didn't unintentionally get him with one of her pranks, perhaps it was before they really knew each other.
This was just to funny
Ah, what a tease you are, Chaos2012...
We await more....
Uh oh. Residents at Canterlot Castle, beware! Cadence the master prankster will be entering the castle soon! If you want to keep your humility intact, I would strongly recommend that you do not provoke her. It could spell certain doom for you if you do.
Good chapter, and looking forward to what Cadence has to offer in this prank war.

Oh my, this is going to be good. *grabs bowl of popcorn and waits for next chapter*
Keep up the good work. Deus tecum.
Wait, what happened? There was a really long confusing chapter after this, and then it just disappeared.
3717980 yes. I had the idea of making this chapter for fun because the new year, but apparently people were very upset with it. Even though I said it was a joke, many people bashed it and even changed their vote from up to down because of it. Due to the reaction, I pulled the chapter earlier than planned

That's people for you. Freak out over everything and proceed to go from allies to savage dogs hell-bent on tearing into your story.
...Yay
Another of the immortals in on this? RUN, RUN FOR YOUR BUCKING LIVES!!
Oh it's no big deal. Shouldn't be too hard..... Sounds like a good idea for a spin off fic.. Just an idea
