Chapter 1: Let the Mating Begin!

It was a clear day in Equestria, things are going smoothly...at first. Something will happen today that will change the lives of the world...for the better. And it all started with a conversion between two of the Royal Sisters. Let's listen in, shall we?

''Forget it, Luna. It won't happen.'' Celestia said with a frown as he trots through the garden with Luna following her in persistent.

''Áwww, Celly, come on! It will be so much fun.'' Luna said to Celestia with a grin. ''I mean, you may like it eventually.''

''Luna, look, I won't go through it. You can make...ponies fall in love with one another! Have you forgotten the lesson that the Cutie Mark Crusader made in making their teacher and Applejack's brother fall in love?''

''Cadance didn't have a problem in doing that.''

''That isn't how her magic works, sister. It quells arguments between ponies, making them remember the love for each other...as well as freed those under a brainwashing spell.'' Celestia said to Luna with a sigh. ''Anyway, it wouldn't be right to force love onto the ponies...''

''Yes, but it appears that some of the ponies down there need some love every now and again. Plus, you are getting bored lately, Celly.'' Luna explains with a mischievous smile. ''Besides, when we're done, you can lift the spell and no one will be the wiser. Come on, come on!''

''Forget it, Luna! I won't do it!''

''Oh...I guess they're right. You aren't so powerful after all if you can't...'''

Celestia interrupts Luna, looking annoyed as she snaps, ''All right, all right, fine! I will do it...just to prove you wrong and remember, this is only a dare!'' Celestia snaps as she and Luna flies up to the highest balcony which connects to their rooms. ''Now then...to avoid any madness, this spell will not affect married couples or ponies whose are in love with each other already.''

''Well, I've heard that Spike got himself a dragon girlfriend named Barbara lately.'' Luna said with a slight chuckle. ''Is this one of those spells the one that makes you fall in love with anyone they see?''

''No, just loving for the pony that felt right for him or her. Okay, stand back, Luna. I don't know what effect this will take!''

Celestia's horn glows brightly and rapidly. Luna watch as the alicorn then the princess send a huge beam into the sky. No one else seems to notice. Just then a flash appear, nearing blinding the two Royal Sisters. Soon all is clear.

''Sooo, how will we know if the spell will work?'' Luna asks Celestia who goes inside the castle.

''We will wait and see.'' Celestia said, then looks puzzled as she trots on. ''Strange...I feel odd...why do I feel the urge to wait anxious for Twilight to send another letter to me?'' The Goddess of the Sun isn't the only one who feels funny.

''Odd, why do I feel the urge to look at the sky for a certain speeding pony?''

Looks like Celestia's spell appears to have affect herself and her sister as well! And thus, the 'fun' begins.

------------------

It all started at Sweet Apple Acre as Applejack was hitting the trees, sighing a bit while sweating.

''Dang, Ah was working on a sweat.'' Applejack mumbles to herself. ''Perhaps Ah should take a quick break before going back 'ta work, Ah reckon.''

Applejack trots on to the barn, but notice someone there setting a picnic. Must be Big Mac...no, wait, the mare remembers that her brother went to town to get some supplies. And Apple Bloom is at school and Granny Smith is on her pills again. So who could it be setting up?

What Applejack saw as she got closer, made her both surprised...and blushing at the same time. There's Rarity, setting up the Apple Cider...and in interesting Farm dress that a stallion or mare could die her. It takes the Earth pony control to keep her from fainting from happiness.

Rarity looks up, smiling in an interesting way as she say, ''Ah, Applejack, darling. Oh, I do hope you don't mind but I can't fight the urge to come over to have a little picnic today. I made some Apple Pie for the both of us to share.''

''Shucks, Ah don't mind. Ah am surprised 'dat yew want 'ta be doing 'dis...especially wit' yew an' yer paranoidia wit' dirt.'' Applejack said Rarity with a sigh...of happiness. ''An' what's wit' 'de dress; Looks good on yew!''

"Thank you, Applejack sugarcube. Why not has a little picnic with yours truly? You have been working so hard and deserve a break.''

Applejack didn't hesitate especially since this is the first time that her friend used the words 'sugar cube', she sat on the picnic blanket with Rarity; both of them are eating while smiling to each other. For some reason...they felt right around each other.

''Sooooo...if yer're here, who's watching 'de shop,'' Applejack ask Rarity curiously.

''Oh, I decided to close for lunch. I planned on coming back whenever I can, sugar cube.'' Rarity said as she uses her magic to held some apples to her friend, ''Apples?''

''Yes, please.''

Rarity feeds the apples to Applejack, both of them are blushing. The unicorn doesn't seem worried about getting dirty, especially with crumbs on her own. Heck, Rarity doesn't seem to mind that Applejack is chewing her food like a pig. The Earth pony wonders why.

Applejack on the other hoof doesn't seem to mind as she decides to be a big polite...just to impress Rarity...for some reason...

--------------

Twilight sighs happily as she looks out a window in the library, glancing at Canterlot in the usual place. The unicorn for some reason is waiting for a letter from Celestia to come...or for the princess herself to make an appearance...or maybe late at night...

''Yo, Twilight,'' Spike calls as he come out with some lists. ''What shall I do with these lists of lists of lists?''

''Oh...just leave it in the corner...I will sort them out later.'' Twilight said with a happy sigh while turning her attention to the castle, making Spike blink a bit. Odd.

''Uh, whatcha looking at?''

''Canterlot...ever notice how beautifu the princess has made it; and more? Also, ever notice how beautiful the sun is when Celestia made it? You think she would be visiting or...''

''Okay, okay, okay! Cool it!'' Spike said with a slight chuckle to Twilight. ''I swear, the way you're ranting, it's like you're obsessed with the princess more so.''

''Oh, I can't help it, Spike. The princess is the wisest ruler in Celestia...and greatest, powerful and...'' Twilight sighs lovingly while adding this, ''Beautiful. I wonder why she didn't have a special somepony of her own just yet.''

''Ooooh, I know that talk. It's like I said about Barbara before I got together with her. You're in love with the princess!''

"What? No, no, no, no, no! I just...making some small talk...that's all...besides, the princess is too busy to even go out on dates...let alone with me and...''

Spike scoffs a bit; the dragon knows denial when he hears it. Spike remarks, ''Twi girl, face it, you're loving the princess. Just send a letter, tell her how you feel...''

"I don't know...she may not feel the same way and...'' Twilight said as she looks concerned. The purple unicorn is getting some newfound feelings for her teacher, ones that the mare never felt before. Could it be that...

Suddenly the door to the library slams open as Rainbow comes in, looking anxiously as she ask, ''Hey, egghead?! Is it night yet? Come on, is it night?''

''No, it's still the afternoon. Why would you want to know if it's night yet? You got some plans or something?''

''Wellll...I want to see if Princess Luna would come out. I want to see her, I do I do!''

''Geez and I thought Twilight have it bad for the princess.'' Spike said with a chuckle making the mares glare at him. ''What?''

-----------

''Okay, Fluttershy, you can do this.'' Fluttershy mumbles as she goes into Sugarcube Corner. ''Tell Pinkie Pie this and...oh, I'm in. Hello? Pinkie Pie,'' The mare turns around, puzzled, ''Pinkie Pie?"'

Suddenly a familiar pink blur pounces to Fluttershy, knocking her down. The mare looks up to see a smiling Pinkie Pie who exclaims, "'Heeeeeeellllo, beautiful; How are you today?!''

Fluttershy blush a bit while saying, "Oh...I'm fine, yes, I'm fine...you're doing...fine today."

Pinkie giggles as she got off Fluttershy, bouncing around the room while saying, "Thanks! So what brings you in today?"

"Oh, well..." Fluttershy said blushing as she got back up. "Uh...well...this is going to be a bit...shy for me and..."

"Oh, go on! Tell your Auntie Pinkie Pie! I won't bite!" Pinkie said slyly while rubbing her tail in her face.

"I am a year older than you." Fluttershy reminds Pinkie with a frown.

"Oh, sorry; My bad, my bad," Pinkie said with a smile. "Soooooo, what's up?"

"I was wondering...if you're going to be off later...I'm going to have a little...picnic later and..." Fluttershy said with a meekly voice. "Oh! Is there a place where we can talk in private and not here?"

"Sure, no problem! Let's talk upstairs!" Pinkie giggles as she takes Fluttershy upstairs to her home upstairs. Upon arrival, the pink pony turns to her friend. "So, what's..."

Before she could start asking, Fluttershy grabs Pinkie and kiss her on the lips. Then the yellow mare lets go, blushing in embarrassment while saying, "Oh, sorry, sorry! I didn't know what's...err, to be honest, I..."

Pinkie grins as she hugs Fluttershy, saying, "Miss Shy...I was wondering when you are going to feel your true feelings to me!"

"Really; Err, I thought you would be angry at me for being...some sort of...filly who likes fillies." Fluttershy said a bit sheepishly to her friend, now lover.

"Nah; to be honest, I think you're kinda cute..." Pinkie said with a giggle, making Fluttershy smile at this. Her friend loves her right back! "So in other words, I love ya, Flutter!"

"Oh, thank you, same here...well, with me to you." Fluttershy said with a giggle, "So how about that picnic?"

"I got a break in an hour. Give me time and I will be ready than you are with animals!" Pinkie exclaims happily to her new filly friend.

Fluttershy saw no reason to argue with that statement.

-------------

"Boy, howdy, Rarity, yew made 'de best pies in Equestria," Applejack said to Rarity with a grin as the two friends is packing up the supplies once the picnic is done.

"Why, thank you, Darling." Rarity said with a smile. "At least for once, you didn't use poor manners. May I ask why?"

"Shucks, Miss Rarity, yew went through all 'dat trouble in setting 'dis up. I just didn't have 'de heart 'ta act like a pig." Applejack said to Rarity with a blush while tipping her hat. "No offense 'ta 'de pigs o' course."

The pigs hearing this snorted in reply, as if to say, 'None taken'.

"Glad to hear that." Rarity giggles as she moves around in her dress. "So do you like my dress?"

"Sure do." Applejack remarks to Rarity with a smile, "Looks fancy an' appropriate fer being on a farm."

"Thank you. Listen, I don't normally ask this but...I am planning on making some farm clothes at the Carousel Baroque later on." Rarity said slyly while batting her eyelashes at Applejack, making her blush. "I was wondering if you can stop by later to model."

"Well....Ah don't normally do 'dis since Ah ain't into 'dat froufrou stuff." Applejack remarks then sighs to Rarity. "But fer yew, Ah can make an exception, darling."

"Thanks, you are a princess!" Rarity giggles as she kisses Applejack on the cheek, making her blush. "I will see you at the appropriate time. Try not to be late, darling!"

"Don't ya worry, Rarity, Ah won't!" Applejack said with a grin.

Rarity trots off while Applejack sighs lovingly a bit. Could this mare be in love? Maybe...

-----------------------------------

It is recess at the Ponyville School. Apple Bloom is looking around for her usual CMC pals. The mare scratches her mane, mumbling, "Now where is Scootaloo an' Sweetie Belle at? We are supposed 'ta meet out here."

Apple Bloom goes around the school and saw a surprising sight: there's her friends, kissing and hugging each other.

"Great horny toads," Apple Bloom exclaims in surprise, making her friends stop. Both look guilty as if being caught in a crime.

"Oh, Apple Bloom...uh, we can explain." Scootaloo said nervously.

"Well, not sure how to explain this." Sweetie Belle said with a giggle while hugging her new filly-friend. "We are..."

"What? Together like filly-friends? Shucks, Ah ain't mind." Apple Bloom assures her friends with a chuckle. "But why do it in private? Yew got nothing 'ta be ashamed about!"

"Well, yeah, true, but we wanted privacy and all that." Sweetie said while tickling Scootaloo with her tail, causing her to blush. "Soooo, if you don't mind..."

"No, n-not at all," Scootaloo replied while blushing.

"Right, Ah done got 'de hint. Ah will leave yew two alone fer a while." Apple Bloom chuckles as she leaves her friends to their privacy. The filly saw some of the foals hanging out, being friendly with one another, etc. "Gosh, 'de love bug appears 'ta be gitting 'ta every pony."

Apple Bloom blinks as she saw a familiar bully glancing at her...then Diamond Tiara blush and heads off.

"Weird, no rude yell or teasing fro' Diamond today," Apple Bloom ask a bit puzzled and a little bit suspicious.

"You wanna know why?" Silver Spoon ask Apple Bloom as she came over. "Diamond Tiara appears to like you...and I don't mean in a friend way."

"Wait, she does? But...all those times...she bullies me an' mah friends and..." Apple Bloom said blushing a bit.

"Yeah, I find it weird but suddenly Diamond Tiara didn't feel like bullying you or calling you names...she just mentions how cute you are." Silver Spoon adds with a shrug.

"Wow..." Apple Bloom said with a happy sigh.

"Well, excuse me, but I gotta go. Snails get nervous if I go away for too long." Silver Spoon chuckles as she trots off.

"Wait, what?" Apple Bloom asks with a blink, "She and Snails???"
---------------

In Pinkie's secret dungeon, a Pink pony was minding herself when her senses went off and says, "Someone has cast a spell that made all the ponies that do not have mates forces to be in love. I better find my big brother. Maybe he may know how to fix this and I hope he is not affected by this.

With that she heads out with her cloak and robe on.

------------

Applejack trots up to the Carousel Baroque, blushing a bit. She has no idea why but the mare wants to be with Rarity more so than ever. That white unicorn is beautiful, with her wonderful mane, cute eyes and...

"Shucks, no need 'ta daydream, time 'ta git in." Applejack mumbles as she came into the Carousel Baroque.

There's Rarity, at work on her latest fashion: farm clothing. The unicorn turns and blushes upon seeing Applejack. She say, "Applejack, darling. You are early."

"Shucks, Ah got anxious, Ah guess. Is 'dat okay?"

"Oh, that's very okay. Why don't you sit in that chair right there and I will get us ready."

Applejack nods as she sat in a chair, blushing as Rarity goes into the backroom. There's going to be some modeling going on here...

Not that Applejack minds of course. She is thinking on how to tell the unicorn how she feels now.

----------------------------

Spike came into Twilight's room, spotting her friend packing up. The dragon arch an eyebrow while saying, "You seem to be packing up to go somewhere; any idea where you're going?"

"Oh...to visit the princess of course...on something important," Twilight said, blushing like mad.

"Uh huh; I don't think the princess has sent any messages or announcements telling you to go to Canterlot yet."

"Hey, hey...is there any reason why a student can't visit her favorite teacher in Equestria? The most wonderful, beautiful and..."

Spike smirks a bit as he ask, "You really got it bad for her do you; As in love?"

"L-l-love; that's silly, stupid; She's my teacher and..." Twilight blushes a bit then say, "Okay, okay. I can't deny it any longer. I am in love with her. She was always...not always if you count the Changelings attack at my brother's wedding reception...there for me, cares for me and...oh, she is sooooo beautiful and awesome and nice and..."

"Okay, okay! I get it. I can take a hint. If you want to see her, go ahead! You want me to go along?"

"Well, I suppose I should. Can't make you feel too neglected. Come on; pack up before we can catch the next train."

The two pack up their things and head out. Suddenly a familiar voice calls out, "Yo, Twilight!" Rainbow appears, landing near her friends, grinning a bit. "What's up? Going on vacation?"

"No, going to Canterlot to visit the princess. I just want to visit her, getting able to..." Twilight stops as she notes her friend's anxious and hopeful good, "Uh, Rainbow Dash?"

"Any chance I can go with you??? I mean, just to visit? I want to see how Luna is doing...you know, what she does when the alicorn isn't working on the nice and all that; so how about it?"

"Boy, first Twilight anxiously wanting to visit her teacher...now you wanting to visit Luna." Spike said in amusement, making Rainbow blush a bit. "Wanting to visit the Goddess of the Night for some reason?"

"Maybe," Rainbow said with a slight chuckle, "So how about it? Please, Twilight? Come on!"

"Oh, all right. The more, the merrier. Come on, we don't want to miss the train." Twilight said as she, Spike and Rainbow heads off to the train station, all of them are excited to go to Canterlot. The unicorn and her brother didn't notice the loving look on the Pegasus pony's face.

"Luna...it's time for us to meet again..."

---------------------------

Celestia sighs lovingly as she looks to Ponyville, wondering whatever or not she should send a message to Twilight. For some time since the alicorn has cast her spell, the princess couldn't help but think about her. She wanted to tell her faithful student how she feels...but what if Twilight doesn't feel the same way?

Luna trots into the balcony next to her sister, asking, "A bit for your thought, sister?"

Celestia blush a bit while saying, "Oh, I was wondering what to say in my next message to Twilight...I mean, not an announcement or task...I..."

"Yes, I notice how you are anxious for a message from your student...or wanting to visit her and how you can't stop talking about her. You are fancying her, are you?"

"Oh, well...that is...even if I do, I am an alicorn and well...by the time she gets to old age..."

"I understand, but as you know, true love conquers all. Maybe that's the case here." Luna said with a sigh while turning to Ponyville, thinking about a certain speeding pony. "Tell me, if you're sending any messages...can you send one to Rainbow Dash...for me?"

"Why? Are you fancying Rainbow Dash?" Celestia ask her sister slyly, making the alicorn blush. "Well, well, looks like I am not the only one with a true love of sorts."

"Celly!"

--------------

Diamond Tiara was up to her tricks...except these appear to be new ones. The bully, from some bushes, is spying on Apple Bloom who is playing with her CMC friends. In the past, the bully wouldn't care or would give a reason to make fun of the 'blank flanks' or bully them.

And yet...Diamond Tiara couldn't help but stare at Apple Bloom. For some reason, she looks so cute the way that she herself is. Why is the bully feeling this way? So far, Diamond Tiara only told Silver Spoon what she's feeling. The bully may be wanting a special somepony...

In Apple Bloom, which is kinda embarrassing because the filly has no cutie mark and Diamond Tiara has been making fun of her all her life. But what if the whole thing is a cover up for her true feelings?

Diamond Tiara yelps as she saw Apple Bloom turning to her direction, causing the filly to hide in time. The bully mumbles, "That was a close one...but dang it. Why can't I tell Apple Bloom or approach her? Am I really into this habit or making fun of those without cutie mark? Am I denying who I truly denying who I am?"

"I don't know. Are you?" Snips ask stupidly as he appears behind Diamond Tiara with a smile. The bully frowns and hits the colt, knocking him unconscious.

"I got to get a good hiding place."

Chapter 2: Interesting Dates

Pinkamena has found her big brother, luckily for her, the love spell didn't affect him as Golden Heart has long ago put a spell over himself to keep that from happening. The pink pony took a while to explain the situation to her brother.

"Hmmm...ponies falling in love like this...sounds like something the princess is doing." Golden Heart said to Pinkamena thoughtfully.

"So why is she doing this, huh?" Pinkamena ask her big brother in a bit of concern.

"Probably being a prankster or on a dare or something. Either way, we should go to Canterlot and ask her...although if this spell is what I think it is, she may be affected too."

"What do you mean?"

As the two ponies head on off on a trip to Canterlot, the alicorn explains, "Well, sometimes the spell can affect the caster too. If that's the case, the princess may be falling in love herself; Interesting."

--------------------

A while or so later, Twilight, Rainbow and Spike got off the train, heading on their way to the castle. Both mares are anxious to see the princesses for their love reason. The baby dragon wants to see how this would end up.

At the castle gates, a Royal Guard (with a female one interesting) spoke up, "Name your business, Twilight Sparkle."

"Yes, can we see the princesses please?" Twilight ask while blushing a bit. "I mean, it's not a mission or something big...just wanted to see her."

"That depends. Is it...important?"

"Come on, let us through! I wanna see the hot Lu...err, I mean the awesome Lu...I mean, let us in." Rainbow said, blushing like mad.

"Come on, just let them." The mare Royal Guard teases the stallion one, purring while nuzzling a bit. "I think their business is important like our new relationship?"

"Well...oh, all right, go on in." The stallion said blushing as he motions the visitors to come on in.

"Well, that was interesting. Seems like the love bug has struck here too," Spike remarks with a light chuckle. "Soooo, are you wanting a date with your love princesses?"

"Spike," Twilight and Spike exclaims while blushing a bit.

---------

The Royal Sisters are in the throne room, discussing some important business when the doors open. To their surprise, they see Twilight entering with Rainbow and Spike. Celestia's heart pounds rapidly and happily upon seeing the purple mare. She looks so...beautiful and wonderful today. The teacher is seeing her student in a better light than usual.

Luna on the other hoof couldn't help but sighs upon seeing Rainbow arriving. That daredevil is getting more wonderful and beautiful. When the night alicorn first met her, she was amused and amazed by both her egotistical behavior and dare deviling. And now...Luna feels more alive.

"Why, Twilight, my faithful student." Celestia said with a blush while going over to nuzzle Twilight. "This is a surprise. What brings you here? I didn't have a test or a task for you."

"Does a student need a good reason to see her favorite and beloved teacher?" Twilight ask Celestia gently while blushing a bit. The mare motions to Rainbow, "Uh, Luna; You remember Rainbow, right?"

"I sure do." Luna said, grinning as she shakes hooves, almost melting by the feel of Rainbow's hoof. "It's a pleasure and a wonderful sight to see you, Miss Dash."

"Same here, so you busy?" Rainbow ask Luna eagerly, making the alicorn blush a bit.

"Rainbow Dash," Twilight laughs a bit, making Spike shakes her head.

"Don't ask me. The mares just wanted to come up here!" Spike explains to the Royal Sisters with a laugh. "Personally, I think there's a good reason..."

"Spike..."

"But I won't say a word out of respect for them."

"Still, I'm glad that you came, Twilight. I was wondering about what message to send to you my wonderful student." Celestia chuckles a bit, making Twilight blush redder. Her teacher is wanting to send her a message earlier? "Well, if you want to hang out or something, my schedule is clear up after my sister and I are done here."

"Really; oh, that's wonderful!" Twilight squeals as she bounces around her love, making the princess blush at this. "Oh, I cannot wait for us to spend time...err, I don't mean it as a date or anything. If you want this to be a student and teacher hanging out, I..."

"Oh, that's okay. I don't mind calling it a date."

Twilight and Celestia blush, giving one another lovingly looks. Spike chuckles while saying, "Well, I think I will head down to Joe's Donut Shop. Something tells me that this is going to be a private one."

"Y-y-yeah, private...so Luna; Wanna hang out or something," Rainbow asks Luna, blushing a bit. "I mean...if that's cool with you. I know you aren't a morning pony..."

"I would love to. I got nothing to do until night comes anyway." Luna said to Rainbow, making her smile happily at this.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scootaloo lies on Sweetie's lap as the filly unicorn feeds her grapes. Apple Bloom pauses a bit while saying, "All right, Cutie Mark Crusaders...so far, what we done ain't got us our Cutie Marks yet. What do yew think we should try?"

"Hmmm; oh sorry, I wasn't listening." Scootaloo said while blushing. "I was staring into Sweetie's eyes."

"Shame here...and feeding my Scooter some grapes." Sweetie chuckles making Scootaloo blush.

"Don't call me that, Sweetie."

"Shucks, yew two got together faster than some ponies Ah know. Why, Ah saw Cheerilee hanging wit' Big Mac again." Apple Bloom laughs to her friends in delight. "If Ah don't know any better..."

"Apple Bloom," A familiar voice exclaims, making Apple Bloom turns to see Diamond Tiara frowning while coming up to her. "We need to talk."

"Oh, shucks. What now? Can yer attitude be saved fer later?"

"No, talk now! I wanna talk! I got a bone to pick with you."

"Oh, horny toads. What do yew want? What bone is it?" Apple Bloom asks Diamond Tiara who is blushing like mad. "Well?"

"I want...I want..." Diamond Tiara said, trembling a bit. "I want..."

"Well, spit it out, already!"

"I want to be friends with you and your friends!!!"

Diamond Tiara blush as the CMC stares in shock and disbelief, though Apple Bloom is blushing. Did they hear what they themselves heard right from Diamond Tiara? Has Tartarus frozen over at last?

"You... want to... be friends?" Apple Bloom asked in shock and disbelief while blushing.

"Well...err...if that's all right...I mean, I can't be a jerk forever and..." Diamond Tiara said blushing.

"Okay, what game you're pulling?" Scootaloo ask Diamond Tiara suspiciously. "I mean, everything you are like this, you're always up to something."

"Oh, sure, just because I'm the bully and I'm often up to something...besides, I never told anypony this...the reason why I picked on blank f...err, I mean, those without Cutie Marks is because I was once like Babs Seed." Diamond Tiara explains to the CMC.

"Wait, really?" Sweetie asks Diamond Tiara while blinking her eyes. Come to think of it, Babs Seed only bullied before because she was bullied for her own Cutie Mark. Maybe that's the case with Diamond Tiara. She was bullied when the filly has no Cutie Mark and ever since having it, the bully did the same thing.

"Well, yeah...something I don't like to admit to others...look, give me a chance to prove myself, please please?" Diamond Tiara asks gently while pleading to Apple Bloom.

"Hmmm, well, girls, whatcha think?" Apple Bloom asks her fellow CMC members with a grin. "Wanna have Miss Tiara join us so 'dat she can prove 'dat she's on 'de level?"

"Well...okay, fine...but as long as she doesn't interrupt me and Sweetie during our...privacy time." Scootaloo said with a blush while hugging Sweetie Belle.

"Yeah, privacy time," Sweetie said with a giggle.

"Thanks." Diamond Tiara said with a blush while turning to Apple Bloom. "Well, err...Apple...you look...good today..."

"Thanks, Diamond." Apple Bloom said as she started blushing.

"Yeah, yeah..." Diamond Tiara said while blushing some more. She will find a way to admit her feelings to her love, one way or another.

------------------------

"Picnic, picnic; we're going on a picnic!" Pinkie sang as she bounces alongside Fluttershy to a spot.

"There's a spot." Fluttershy said as she points to a spot. Pinkie, quicker than you can say 'Twilight's an alicorn', set the picnic up in a blink of an eye. "Wow...that was fast."

"Thanks! Want some jellybeans?" Pinkie giggles as she took out a jar of jellybeans, "Brought them just for this, lovey filly!"

"Oh, I'd love to." Fluttershy replied with a smile.

Pinkie and Fluttershy sat down, with the yellow mare helping herself to the jellybeans. The two friends became lovers very fast. It's as if destiny has brought them together.

"No it's not, Mr. Narrator. This is an alternative universe fic!" Pinkie explains to me happily. "If this is a regular story, it would've been awkward since we get together with two colts later on."

Oh, right, good point, Miss Pie.

"Who are you talking to, Pinkie?" Fluttershy ask her lover puzzled.

"The narrator, of course," Pinkie replied.

Ooooookay, moving on; Pinkie and Fluttershy begins having their picnic, making sure nothing goes wrong...of course, nothing would've gone wrong sooner if some stupid ape at a certain website haven't gotten 'Quest for Cartoonelot' removed! I mean, all because of the song lyrics?! What, they're worried that the writers would sue them! I mean...

"Get on with it, Jus!!!!" Pinkie calls out to me in annoyance. "I mean, this is a romance story, not a complaint forum! Save it for deviantART; I mean, geez!!!"

Okay, right, sorry. Back to the story; Fluttershy never understood why her love speaks to somepony who isn't there but decides to not push it. The mare has some lunch.

"Pinkie Pie, what is it like...uh...being kinda you?" Fluttershy ask Pinkie with a blush.

"It's like going to a carnival, except I do it all the time even in reality!" Pinkie exclaims as she put one upper foreleg around her filly friend. "Kinda like how you hang with animals."

"Oh, I wouldn't call it a 'carnival', more like a foster's home for animals." Fluttershy admits to Pinkie with a smile.

"Foster's Home! You're cute when you do that!" Pinkie giggles while licking Fluttershy on the nose.

"Pinkie Pie," Fluttershy said while giggling a bit...then kiss Pinkie Pie right on the forehead, making her blush.

"Okay, Applejack darling, let's try out the first outfit." Rarity said as Applejack came out in a cute farmer's overalls. "Oh yes, you look so smashing in that."

"Okay, Applejack, darling, let's try out the first outfit." Rarity said as Applejack came out in a cute farmer's overalls. "Oh, yes, you look so smashing in that."

"Shucks, thanks yew. Yew isn't so bad if yew wear 'dis either." Applejack said then blush a bit. "Err, well...what Ah meant was..."

"Oh, that's okay, AJ. I know what you mean." Rarity giggles as she did some measurements. "All right, try the next outfit on."

Applejack went behind the dressing thing and put on a new outfit. She came out, wearing a dress with short sleeves, shorts with spots on them and a farmer like hat.

"Now that's what I called 'Miss McDonald'." Rarity said with a smile.

"Shucks, looks kinda good, yew must've worked hard on 'dis." Applejack comments to Rarity with a grin. As the unicorn did a bit of a drawing, the Earth pony pauses a bit. Well, it's now or over. "Say, Rare?"

"Yes, AJ; what is it?" Rarity asked, looking through a book. Applejack pauses then blush a bit.

"Err, listen, please don't take 'dis 'de wrong way...Ah mean...shucks! Oh, Ah don't know!" Applejack groans a bit as Rarity turns to her in curiosity. "De fact o' de' matter is 'dat sometimes yew are a bit fussy fer yer age...or maybe too fussy, heck Ah don't know! But when yew ain't, yew can be very nice."

Rarity blinks a bit as Applejack continues on, "An' yer're...'de most beautiful unicorn Ah have ever lay mah eyes on; an' 'dat's 'de honest truth. Listen, if yew get upset, Ah will understand. Ah also got one more thing but..."

Without warning, Rarity kisses Applejack right on the lips deeply. The Southern filly looks dumbstruck as the unicorn part lips, blushing while saying, "Forgive me. You sounded so cute when you talk like that, darling."

Applejack blushed at this remark as she started to say, "Shucks...thanks, Ah was going 'ta tell yew..." But then, Rarity cut her off as she spike.

"If you're going to say love me, skip it...I already know and therefore feel the same way." Rarity giggles as she nuzzles against Applejack, making her blush some more.

"Oh yes, more so than one." Rarity remarks with a giggle as she moves from Applejack. "Oh yes, which reminds me, time for some more modeling, darling."

"Righty-O, Miss Rarity," Applejack said in a polite way, making Rarity giggles a bit. For a messy cowpony, she does show some matters or so.

--------------------------------

"Can I open my eyes now?" Twilight ask as she got her eyes closed the whole time. Celestia wants her student to keep her eyes closed as she got a surprise for her.

"Not yet, my faithful student...now you may open them." Celestia said with a lovingly smile. Twilight opens her eyes to find that the princess has taken her to a lovely spot near a waterfall.

"This is wonderful. How did you know of this place?" Twilight squeals while blushing a bit.

"Oh, if you were around for centuries like I was like I did, you know a few things." Celestia said blushing while nuzzling a bit. "So, tell me: how are your studies so far?"

"Oh, they were great...I have learned a lot since I last saw you, princess." Twilight said to Celestia with a smile.

"Please, call me Celestia or Celly. You don't have to call me princess again if you don't feel obligate too." Celestia said to Twilight, making her blush redder.

"Okay, Celestia." Twilight said while blushing.

The two lies down, with Twilight sitting next to the big Celestia. Her teacher feels so warm.

"Twilight...have I ever told you a certain magic trick called 'Growth Shrink'?" Celestia ask Twilight with a smile.

"No, can't say you did, Celly." Twilight said to Celestia curiously.

"Check this out." Celestia said as she begins to glow. Twilight looks startled as her teacher shrank until she is at her student's size. "Pretty neat, eh? It allows me to be small or big at any time, something I've learned over the years. I learnt it in case my size intimidates my subjects...or friends like you."

"Wow!" Twilight exclaimed in amazement.

"I know." Celestia giggles as she and Twilight nuzzle together. "Someday, I could teach you the trick myself."

"For now, I just like being small, Celestia," Twilight said with a slight giggle. "If you don't mind me by asking, have you...I mean...ever thought of having a special somepony?"

"Well...not in the past, no. But recently..." Celestia said to Twilight, blushing. "I got to admit, you are turning into a beautiful young mare."

"Thank you." Twilight said with a blush.

"Twilight; Do you...love me?" Celestia ask Twilight hopefully.

"Of course, I do. I always do." Twilight said, then notices her teacher blushing, making her realizes, "Wait, hang on; as in...you do remember that Shining and Cadance are married, right? I mean, we are supposed to be in-laws. It would be awkward if..."

"True...but it's only awkward if blood relatives were to date." Celestia said, giving her student a wink. "But you and I aren't related through blood, are we my faithful student?"

"Well, now that you think of it...I guess not." Twilight said with a slight smile. Plus, the whole in-law doesn't matter since she is with her love, right?

"Well, then..." Celestia said, leaning forward to kiss Twilight on the lips. "I think you know what to do."

Twilight giggles as she tackles Celestia, the two lovers hug while kissing one another.

------------------

Pinkamena and Golden Heart lands right in the center of Canterlot, the pink pony rode her brother the whole way. As she got off the alicorn, Pinkamena giggles, "That was fun!"

"Yes, but we're here on business, not fun." Golden Heart explains to his sister. "We got to speak to the Royal Sister and find out what Celestia is up to."

"Ooooh, I think I saw Loony Luna flying with Rainbow Dashie!"

The siblings looks startled as they see Rainbow and Luna flying past them as if in a race. Golden Heart looks astounded as both lands on some grass. Rainbow laughs, "I beat ya again, Loony!"

"Nonsense! I land on the grass first!" Luna insists while nuzzling Rainbow a bit, giggling a bit. "Okay, I will let you have this one."

"See; because I am soooo awesome, right."

Golden Heart blinks a bit. From the looks of things, it looks like Luna is getting friendly with Rainbow. The male alicorn trots up while saying, "Ahem, Princess Luna?"

"Oh yes, Golden Heart. For what brings you here on this fine day?" Luna ask Golden Heart with a smile.

"Well, it concerns something that happens. May we speak in private?"

"Of course! Rainbow?"

"Sure, fine. I will get us cupcakes and be back in a sonic rainboom minute." Rainbow chuckles as she kisses Luna on the cheek, making the Goddess of the Night blush a bit as her friend zips off.

"Now then, you were saying?" Luna asks Golden Heart with an arch of the eyebrow.

"A spell has been cast on Equestria, causing ponies, except married ones and those with someponies already to fall in love instantly." Golden Heart explains to Luna seriously. "It's already happening, Pinkamena has sense this. I was wondering if your sister has a hoof in this."

"Oh, you mean that dare that I got her to do not so while ago."

"Wait. What?"

Luna chuckles to the surprised Golden Heart while saying, "Yes, it's all true, Golden Heart. I dared my sister into helping ponies find some love every now again, then with plans on lifting the spell later." The alicorn sighs lovingly. "I guess it must've affected us too...my sister is already thinking of Twilight Sparkle and I am falling for that wonderful Rainbow Dash."

Golden Heart breaths in and out, it's true. Luna is indeed in love with Rainbow, but is it true love? The male alicorn said, "Well, I guess this explains a lot, but really, you should lift the spell now because this may get out of hoof…"

"Golden Heart, relax. We just need some time with our new...special someponies. Of course, I haven't confessed yet to Rainbow Dash...but I will. Besides, it's not me and Celestia in love with one another, right?"

"Well...it's true. Fine, but if this gets out of hoof, you must get Celestia to lift the love spell."

Luna chuckles a bit then saw Rainbow returning with some cupcakes. The alicorn said with a nod, "I must go. My future somepony await." The alicorn trots over to the Pegasus pony to do their usual hanging out.

Pinkamena was quiet during this whole time. She asks her brother, "So what do you think will happen?"

"I'm guessing that we must wait...and put a stop to the whole thing before it goes too far." Golden Heart said in concern.

"Awww, come on Goldie. This is a romance story made by JusSonic. I doubt it can go too far unless he wants it too or will get suggestions from the fans."

"Pinkamena, you are random sometimes."

--------------

Things in Ponyville are settling down a bit as two familiar couples are meeting up at Sugarcube Corner, laughing and having fun (with Pinkie back at work).

"Well, so you and Pinkie are a couple?" Rarity asks Fluttershy with a grin. "I am so proud of you."

"Thanks." Fluttershy said with a blush as Pinkie kiss her while the pink pony's working. "I heard you got together with Applejack."

"Oh yes. AJ was so a dear to help me with my modeling and clothes...she looks so beautiful and smashing in them."

"Awww, shucks, Rarity; Yew are 'de one 'de talk." Applejack said, blushing a bit to Rarity. "Yew surprised me wit' 'dat there picnic after Ah was done working. It's 'de least Ah come do fer yew going through 'dat trouble."

"Oh now," Rarity said with a blush of her own.

"Say, where's Dashie and Twilight?" Pinkie asks curiously. "I thought they would be here."

"We stop by the library earlier. There was a note saying that Twilight and Rainbow went off to Canterlot to see the princesses. I can't imagine why."

"Ooh! Maybe those two are a couple, right?"

"Ah don't know..." Applejack said to Pinkie with a concerned look. "Ah don't imagine them wit' somepony else..."

"You think...that they are going to see the princesses for another reason?" Fluttershy ask the others curiously.

Before anyone could respond, Apple Bloom rush in. blushing while saying, "Applejack, Applejack!"

"Hey there, Apple Bloom. What's up?" Applejack asks her little sister while rubbing the little filly's mane on top of her head.

"Listen, Ah need some advice fro' yew."

"Well, what is it you need help with?" Rarity ask Apple Bloom curiously, the little filly blush a bit.

"Ah think Ah'm in love." Apple Bloom said with a blush, much to the surprise of the mares.

"Well, I'll be!" Pinkie remarks with a smile. "The little filly here got a crush! How cute! Who's the lucky colt?"

"Well, it ain't a colt...more like...a filly."

"Oh..." Applejack said while blinking her eyes a bit. "Shucks, ain't nothing 'ta be ashamed about. Ah is wit' Rarity now..."

"And Fluttershy is mine!" Pinkie giggles while hugging Fluttershy, making the mare blush.

"R-r-r-right, there's nothing wrong with liking fillies." Fluttershy said to Apple Bloom with a squee.

"There's something wrong." Apple Bloom said, getting freaked out and worried. "Ah am in love...wit' Diamond Tiara!!!"

Chapter 3: Getting Out of Hoof

Pinkie blinks a bit then cleans her ears out. Then the pink pony says, "Uhhhh...I got to make sure my ears weren't dirty. Because it seems to me that you say that you're in love with Diamond Tiara."

"Ain't no mistake, Ah am in love wit' her." Apple Bloom explains.

"'De same bully who make fun o' yew an' yer friends?" Applejack asks Apple Bloom in surprise and disbelief, "Really?"

"Eeyup. Ah don't know why but there's something about her 'dat done feels right. She says 'dat she herself was bullied before Diamond got her own Cutie Mark. An' 'dat's good enough fer me!"

"You sure that she isn't lying, trying to deceive you or playing your feelings," Rarity ask Apple Bloom in concern. "You got to admit, she has played mean tricks on you before."

"Oh, there's no reason to be paranoid." Fluttershy said with a slight grin. "Why, if there's love between these two ponies, well, that's nice, very nice."

"Yeah, come on! Don't you and your unicorn lover be so paranoida-annoying," Pinkie giggled while bouncing a bit.

"Welll...okay, Ah guess 'dat's fair." Applejack said with a sigh before turning to her sister. "Listen, if yew love Diamond, just tell her how yew feel. Who knows? Yew may be surprised."

"Right, but if it turns out to be the opposite...well, don't be too bad." Rarity insists while patting Apple Bloom on the back. "I'm sure that you will find somepony else."

"Geez; thanks; Now Ah gotta go," Apple Bloom said in determination as she heads out on her mission: to tell her love how she feels. The Mane Four watch her leave, some does so in concern.

"I'm worried. Apple Bloom could be hurt if it turns out that Diamond Tiara could be playing on her feelings...or pretending to be her friend at least."

"Yeah...and if 'dat turn out 'ta be 'de case, Diamond Tiara will answer 'ta me!" Applejack remarks with a stern frown.

------------------------------------

"Geez, the press turns out to be slow today." One reporter groans to the other as the two stallions trot through Canterlot. They are looking for a story and the paper is due out today. "We need a story that is interesting."

"Yeah, yeah, I know...but what can we even use?" His pal asks with a sigh of concern. "Our editor is going to have our flanks if we don't find a story."

"Same...wait, what's that?"

The two reporters saw something that caught their interest, causing them to hide in some bushes. As the two stallions peeks out, they saw a surprising sight: Twilight hanging with Celestia, who appears to be small.

"Say it, Twiley, come on; come on." Celestia giggles as she nipples on Twilight's ear, making the unicorn blush.

"Okay, okay. I love you, I love you, I always love you." Twilight said with a smile. "Now it's your turn."

"Oooh, Twiley. I love you more than the stars above."

"Yes. But how about we take it easy? We don't want to overdo it"

Celestia smiles, she nuzzles her love a bit while saying, "Now, now, my faithful suitor. No one else is here but us."

"Is that...the princess and her student?" The first reporter whispers as he quickly took photos of what's happening.

"Yes...and they are...dating! This is amusing since they are now in-laws due to Cadance's marriage to Shining Armor." The other reporter whispers eagerly while using his magic (he's a unicorn BTW) to write this up.

"Ooooh, this is going to be great...we should check out Princess Luna. See what she's up to."

"Oh yeah, if she's hiding a secret, all of Equestria must know before the end of the day!"

The reporters head out, not seeing a cloaked figure arriving, whose has saw what happened so far. This of course is Lorcan, the brother of Spike who was once enemy of Equestria. The dragon decides on going out for a walk, when he saw what's happening so far today.

"What the buck; Am I the only one who's noticing lesbian ponies around there?" Lorcan asks with a frown. He pauses then spots Twilight and Celestia, being more than just student and teacher, "Sweet! I am so telling Discord!"

-------------------

Diamond Tiara breathes in and out as she sat near Scootaloo and Sweetie who are discussing how to get Cutie Marks. The Pegasus pony say, "I don't know. It could involve tree sap...as usual!"

"We could at least. What do you think, Diamond Tiara?" Sweetie Belle asks Diamond Tiara who is nearby.

"What? Oh, well...that sounds fun...but you should at least try to do what you're good at, like singing or aero bats." Diamond Tiara said, not sounding like herself more so than usual. The bully is waiting so much for Apple Bloom to come back. The former bully groans, "Ugh, to be honest, I'm used to me being a bully than what I'm doing."

"Well, come on! It's not so bad being a nice pony. I mean, just hang with us and you will get the hang of it."

Diamond Tiara sighs a bit then saw Apple Bloom coming up. The non-Cutie Mark filly smiles while saying, "Oh hey, girls. Sorry Ah don't kept yew waiting."

"No deal, where did you go?" Scootaloo ask Apple Bloom curiously.

"Just a talk wit' mah sister an' y'all 'dat. Diamond Tiara...listen, Ah done got something 'ta tell yew. Promise yew won't be mad?"

Diamond Tiara, blushing, say, "Well, that depends...is it good; Bad; something freaky? I mean...I can take it...it's just...Oh! I may as well put my actions in words!" The filly did something unexpected. She pulls Apple Bloom over and kiss her on the lips, making the others gasp in surprise. Diamond Tiara lets go, blushing while saying, "Sorry...err, wait, I mean...oh, I don't know what I mean anymore. I..."

"Diamond Tiara..." Apple Bloom said slowly then grins. "Ah done wonder when yew was going 'ta do 'dat." She kisses Diamond Tiara on the cheek, making her eyes widen then she smiles.

"You aren't angry at me?"

"Hay no! Ah done have feelings fer yew too!"

Diamond Tiara smiles as she hugs Apple Bloom a bit. Sweetie hugs her own love, saying, "Awwww! Isn't it sweet?"

"Yeah, kinda weird...but at least things will turn out fine, right?" Scootaloo ask, feeling a bit worried for some reason.

----------------------------------------

Twilight and Celestia, back to her big size, laughs as they arrive at the castle. The Goddess of the Sun comments, "I must say. You are soooo much, fun. I haven't have this much fun in years."

"Really; aren't you worry about not having a special somepony of your own over the years?" Twilight ask Celestia with a grin.

"Normally over the years, any pony I love would be dead...but not to worry, Twilight. That may change with you."

Twilight looks puzzled, wondering what her new found love means. Just then, the mare saw Luna and Rainbow on the throne while cuddling. The cyan Pegasus pony spots her then say sheepishly, "Oh. Hey. Your date went well?"

"Sure did." Twilight said with a smile. "Soooo, I take it you and Luna..."

"A pony doesn't kiss and tell!"

"Not what you told me, Dashie." Luna said while kissing Rainbow, causing this mare to blush. "Come on, you can tell them."

"All right, all right...yeah, it's all true. Luna and I are together." Rainbow said as she got off the throne, trotting over to her friend and the princess, "So how about you two? Did you have an awesome time?"

"We sure did." Celestia said, wrapping one wing around her student/suitor. "Since we're alone, I think it's safe this. Twilight and I are together."

"That's wonderful!" Luna exclaims happily, holding one hoof. "The fun has been doubled! Oh! Nothing can ruin our day now."

"Don't be so sure." Golden Heart said in concern as he trots into the room, using his magic to bring up a newspaper.

"Golden Heart," Rainbow asks the alicorn puzzled. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, I went to get the newspaper for my sibling...can't say who it is...so that she can read the funnies. The newest edition just came out and...oh, just read!"

Golden Heart shows the front page to the four who looks at it. Their eyes widen as they saw photos, one of them shows Twilight and Celestia's date and the other shows Rainbow and Luna kissing. And the title of the story is: 'Royal Sisters Mating with An In-Law and Future Wonderbolt!'

"Oh, horse apples. I jinxed it." Luna said with a groan of concern.

Twilight reads a part of the article, "'Reporters has caught Princess Celestia hanging out with her niece in-law Twilight Sparkle who some say could most likely be a new princess. If they are dating, this could lead to something due to Princess Cadance's marriage to Twilight's brother Shining Armor a few months ago.'"

Rainbow reads another, "'Also, Luna appears to take a fancy to Twilight Sparkle's friend Rainbow Dash. Could romance be truly in the works'? Man, how did those guys catch us so fast?"

"Must be fast photographers," Twilight said with a shrug.

"This may get out of hoof, princess." Golden Heart said seriously to the princess. "Reporters will come soon, demanding answers. Yes, I know that you and Twilight being an item won't be a problem since you aren't blood related...but you know reporters and their stories."

"Yes, yes, I see what you mean." Celestia said in agreement. "How shall we deal with this?"

"What I told Luna before! Lift your spell before this could get too far!" Golden Heart answers, much to Twilight and Rainbow's notice.

"Lift the spell?" Twilight asked.

"What spell? Whatcha hiding, Loony," Rainbow asked her love Luna, making her a bit nervous.

Celestia's eyes dart back and forth the she sighs, "All right, I got a confession. Earlier today, my sister dares me into casting a spell to cause love throughout Equestria for ponies without loved ones...you and Rainbow got affected."

"But so did we, and I must confess, I have never saw just a beautiful mare like you before, Rainbow." Luna said to Rainbow gently.

"Didn't remember how it isn't a good idea to force ponies into love?" Twilight ask Celestia and Luna dryly.

"Hey, Luna pushed me into it!" Celestia protests while Luna giggles a bit.

"Still...for once, I don't mind." Twilight sighs as she nuzzles Celestia. "For the first time ever...my feelings for you, Celly, are 10 times fold."

"Yeeeeeah and for once, I'm hanging with a flyer who isn't a jerk or a reckless pony." Rainbow remarks while smiling to Celestia and Luna.

"Princess, I asked you, lift the spell before it's too late. You know what happened when it does in the past." Golden Heart pleads to his friend.

"I...I can't." Celestia said as she nuzzles Twilight. "I do not want to lose the special feelings for the one I love."

"As do I," Luna said with a nod.

"Princesses, I understand your feelings...but we don't know if these feelings are true or not." Golden Heart said grimly. "And you aren't the only ones affected, ponies in Ponyville are too."

"I understand, but I just can't bring myself to do it." Celestia said while sighing. "Twilight and I will come out and face the impact when the time comes."

Golden Heart hesitates then saw Luna and Rainbow holding hooves. Apparently neither princess would agree to lift the spell, out of fear of losing their special affections for the ponies that they say that they love.

"Very well...but try to consider my words," Golden Heart said seriously as he leaves the room, leaving the couples.

"Man, you think this could get out of hoof?" Rainbow asks Luna in concern.

"I hope not." Luna said with a sigh. "It took me centuries to find my special somepony. I hate to lose you because of madness."

"And I you, Luna." Rainbow said.

---------------------------------

"Wow, can you believe this?" Pinkie Pie asks her friends as she shows a paper to her friends. "The Royal Sisters are in love with Twilight and Dashie!"

"Unbelievable!" Rarity exclaimed in amazement.

"Wow...who knew?" Fluttershy asked meekly while reading the newspaper. "I guess they found their special somepony."

"'Dat may be, but dese are 'de princesses we're talking about. ‘De Press eats 'dis kind of thing fer breakfast." Applejack said in concern. "Not 'ta mention 'dat Twilight has 'de Sun princess fer an aunt in law."

"Oh, don't sound so worry, AJ." Pinkie said with a smile. "They aren't blood related. Their relationship could work!"

"Maybe...but yew know about those kind o' celebrity marriages." Applejack said in concern.

"Awww, you are so cute when you're worry like that." Rarity giggles as she tickles Applejack a bit, making her blush. "Don't worry. Our friends and the princesses can make it work. They rise above problems like this before so they can again."

"Well..I guess there's one other thing to deal: Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara." Fluttershy said. "I mean, those two seem to love one another...I saw them hugging near a tree; Cute."

"Yeah, but Ah am worried 'dat Diamond Tiara is taking advantage o' mah sister's feelings 'ta bully her or hurt her emotionally." Applejack said with a frown. "It ain't right if mah sister gets betrayed."

"You're right on that, darling." Rarity said.

"Well, not to worry. Love will find a way." Pinkie said while giving some cherry pie to Fluttershy. "I'm sure your sister made the right choice in filly friend."

"Ah hope so fer Apple Bloom's sake." Applejack said with a nod. She also hopes for Diamond Tiara's sake that the bully is playing on Apple Bloom's feelings...or else.

------------------------

"Soooo, Diamond? How did yew get yer cutie mark?" Apple Bloom ask her new filly friend with a smile.

"Well, I don't know. I guess it involves being shiny or something. Bullying isn't truly my thing." Diamond Tiara said with a blush.

"Ah bet yew must be in fashion 'ta get a cutie mark like 'dat." Apple Bloom theorized.

"Maybe, I hope so." Diamond Tiara giggles then gave some bits to Apple Bloom. "Listen, can you get us some candy from the store? I'll promise to share them with your friends."

"Sure do! Be right back!" Apple Bloom exclaims as she skips to the candy store nearby. Diamond Tiara sighs happily. It's great to have a filly like her.

Something then caught Diamond Tiara's eye (and you know how painful that can be!). The filly saw Scootaloo wearing a blindfold, trying to catch Sweetie Belle, who is giggling.

"What are you two doing?" Diamond Tiara asks the two as Scootaloo caught her filly friend, kissing Sweetie Belle on the lips.

"Playing Hard to Get, involves us wearing a blind fold and trying to catch the other." Scootaloo explains to Diamond Tiara playfully.

"That's really nice." Diamond said with a smile.

"My turn," Sweetie exclaims as she takes the blind fold from Scootaloo, putting it on now and begins chasing her filly friend

Diamond Tiara chuckles then sighs a bit as she looks towards the candy store, waiting so much for Apple Bloom to come out. Just then, she looks up to see the sun about to go into a solar eclipse (a brief one).

"The princesses must be having a solar eclipse today." Diamond Tiara remarks with a shrug. Then all went dark. "And all went dark."

"I got ya, Scootaloo!" Sweetie is heard saying as she is heard jumping, grabbing something. Kissing noises are heard.

But when the solar eclipse is done, there is a shocking yet awkward sight: Sweetie is kissing Diamond Tiara, thinking she is Scootaloo!

"Ah, I love you." Sweetie said in a French tone. She kissed Diamond a bunch of times before she resumed speaking in the same tone, "Now you set my soul on fire. It is not just a little spark, It is a flame; a big, roaring flame! Ah, I can feel it now."

"Sweetie Belle," Scootaloo chuckled. Sweetie removes the blind fold, yelping as she saw that she was kissing Diamond Tiara, causing the filly to speak in a French tone of voice.

Suddenly, a gasp is heard. Diamond Tiara turns, seeing a shocked Apple Bloom now out of the candy store. The filly looks stunned as she saw what the filly believes to be the worst.

"Apple Bloom...wait, I can explain..." Diamond Tiara said nervously.

"Diamond...how could yew?!" Apple Bloom sobs as she drops the candy that she has brought for every pony. "Mah sister was right! Yew was using me to yer advantage...an' trying 'ta steal Sweetie fro' Scoots...yew jerk!"

Apple Bloom sobs as she runs off. Diamond Tiara protest in horror, "Apple Bloom, wait!"

"Hoo boy; You're in trouble now." Scootaloo said to Diamond Tiara in concern. Apple Bloom thinks that her love has betrayed her.

"Yeah, this may take some time to fix." Sweetie said to Diamond Tiara who looks down in sadness.

------------------------

Things in Ponyville get a bit...intense. More ponies are kissing and chasing each other like lovers, more are thinking...weird things. Applejack and Rarity hold one another as they watch.

"My, love is really in the air." Rarity said to Applejack with a chuckle.

"Tell me about it. Why, Ah am done surprised no one thought o' marriage just yet." Applejack remarks with a smile.

"Oh! That reminds me. I thought of picking out some wedding dresses for us for the modeling. What do you say?"

"Yew done read mah mind, Rarity!"

The two lovers kiss as they head on back to the Carousel Baroque, both of them can't wait to try on the wedding dresses for...their love reasons.

--------------------

Apple Bloom sobs while on her bed, feeling hurt and heartbroken. Her sister was right. Diamond Tiara doesn't really love her; she is using her feelings to her advantage; That creep.

"Uh, Apple Bloom?" Big Macintosh asks Apple Bloom in concern as he came into the room. "What's wrong?"

"Diamond Tiara did something bad..." Apple Bloom said sadly. Her big brother came in and nuzzles his sister, wanting to help her deal with her problem.

"Shucks, no worries. We can fix this. So uh...what happened?"

Apple Bloom, sniffing a bit, begins to explain.

------------------------

We return to Pinkamena & Golden Heart in a chamber with some serious faces in what's going on. Celestia isn't going to lift the spell, and if not done by the caster, it seems almost impossible to reverse this.

"Well this isn't good, we're out of options. Nothing good will come of this love gone WILD!" Golden Heart exclaimed with much doubt, they can't stop this.

"Well it could be worst; they all could be getting married." Pinkamena spoke off a far-fetched idea, however...

"That's just it! Without stopping the spell, such thoughts will LEAD to such marriages!" Golden Heart exclaimed with much worry, the spell will make all go into marrying the other.

"Oh, I see your point Goldie. So what can be done to fix this?" The pink pony slowly responded in understanding this statement. The spell is out of control, but how can they stop it if Celestia won't do it or try to prevent them.

"I think I have a way." Spoke a new voice that appeared from the open door as came in a hooded figure, but the familiar being was a dragon with a familiar scar on his eye.

"Lorcan," Both ponies responded in recognizing the guest within Canterlot, they forgot that after Lorcan's defeat, he's been staying at the castle which only a few 'select' know that he's alive.

"To stop this chaos from getting out of hand, we'll need someone who's very magic can disturb the very effects of this spell." Lorcan held up his fist to grasp in how to stop the spell once and for all.

"Oh, is that you?" Pinkamena asked with a raised eyebrow, thinking that this guy was the answer.

"No, but I know where we can FIND, 'him'." Lorcan shook his head that he's not the answer, but it was of another that they know.

"Him; who do you mean?" Golden Heart responded puzzled, what was this cloak dragon getting to?

"The master of Chaos and Disharmony; Discord," Lorcan spoke with a serious statement in whose the 'him' that he is referring to is of their old enemy.

"DISCORD," Both ponies responded in utter shock, they know the name and don't like it one bit.

"Have you lost it? Discord is a villain, he can't be trusted! Have you forgotten what he's done?" Golden Heart protest the idea to get Discord to help them, he's nothing but trouble.

"Yes, but his magic, and ONLY his magic, can undo this spell. By dis-harmonizing the strong love spell, that will set the ponies free." Lorcan pointed out the method that to disturb such a strong harmonizing spell gone wrong, it must be discorded.

"Well it's not the best of plans, but it's all we got. So where is he?" Pinkamena shrug off her shoulders in letting Lorcan win the debate here.

"Um, that's the tricky part; I...split him in two." The cloaked dragon struggled to look away in having difficulty saying the answer here. "The body is here in Canterlot, but I...sent his soul elsewhere." Lorcan stated out that he split Discord in two, one is here, but the other...is elsewhere.

"Oh great, where did you send his soul,” Golden Heart groans in hearing this, where did Lorcan put the soul?

"That's...kinda where the problem lies..." Lorcan tap his fingers together in trying to explain this. "I've hidden the soul in the furthest reaches in Froggy Bottom Bogg." He stated the location of the swamp lands within Equestria.

"Ick; Nobody in their right mind would go or even think of looking for someone like him in such a sticky place?" Pinkamena responded in disgust, it's the perfect place to hide someone with that much mess.

"Precisely my point," Lorcan nods in agreement to what the pink pony here spoke. "Thruspvhmm..." He then summoned a portal of his emerald flames to appear before looking to the others. "Follow me through this portal spell; it'll quickly take us directly to the swamps, and from what I last recall of my evil self...where I place Discord's soul." Lorcan has lost much when his evil was removed, so he vaguely remembers the last location where he hid Discord's soul.

"Hugh, well the act of not doing anything while everypony is going crazy isn't helping, so let's get this over with." Golden Heart sighs in seeing that they have no other choice but to go along with this.

"And remember...we're watching you!" Pinkamena spoke in hiding a dagger in threatening Lorcan that if he tries anything sneaky, he'll regret it.

"How could I forget?" Lorcan rolled his eyes in understanding that threat, which he'll not let it slide.

"Gruspvhmm..." Then the group of 'odd' saviors enters the emerald flame portal before it vanished completely? With the only hope to fixing things right, they'll need the power of Chaos, but will things be so easily. And what will happen while no one is watching the ponies still under the love spell? It's all something to be explained...afterwards.

Chapter 4: Then Comes Discord

Diamond Tiara heads to Sweet Apple Acres, the filly must talk to Apple Bloom. She must tell her what happened, explaining that the kissing thing with Sweetie was a misunderstanding. Unfortunately, the former bully ran into two familiar siblings of her love...who won't let her by.

"Come on, please!' Diamond pleads to the angry Applejack and Big Macintosh. "I got to talk to Apple Bloom. Tell her that I'm here so we can talk about..."

"Nnope," Applejack snaps sternly to Diamond Tiara while Big Macintosh glares at her.

"Awww; is this going to be like the Gabby Gums incident?"

"Eeyup."

"You must be ashamed of yourself! How dare you playing on my little sister's feelings and try to steal one of her friend's filly-friend like that?!" Big Macintosh snarls angrily at Diamond Tiara as he points a hoof at the sadden Diamond Tiara. "Well, we ain't going to let you hurt her feelings no more! So you can pack up your bullying or whatever and go away!"

"What..." Diamond Tiara begins to protest, tears in her eyes.

"Come on, scram! We ain't letting lying heartbreakers like yew on our properta!" Applejack snaps furiously as she waves off Diamond Tiara. The filly looks hurt. Apple Bloom's siblings believe that the worst.

Diamond Tiara turns around and trots sadly away.

-------------------------------------------------------

"Are you sure this game is safe, Pinkie?" Fluttershy ask Pinkie curiously as the two lovers bounce on tampolines.

"Yep, nope, who knows? Bouncy, bouncy," Pinkie giggles as the two lovers bounce around, "Now air dance!"

The two lovers bounce into the air and grab each other, dancing as if in thin air before letting go, bouncing and doing this.

"You know, perhaps some flying could make things easier." Fluttershy said slyly as she grabs Pinkie, flying in the air with her. "I'll lead."

"Yay! You are one super duper lovey dovey dancer!" Pinkie exclaims happily as she kiss Fluttershy on the lips. "Marry me!"

"Oooh, well...let's just...wait...I'm not ready...."

"Awww; you're no fun. Well, we will get married someday...this week...now; How about now?"

Fluttershy giggles as she continues dancing; both lovers are unaware that the love spell is making them a bit wild. It may not take long before the marriage thing may be considered.

------------------

The Royal Sisters, Twilight and Rainbow look at the Press waiting in front of the castle from the balcony. Ever since news spread about their new relationships, the reporters have wanted to see more.

"Sooooo...what now," Rainbow ask Luna in concern. "Those guys won't leave us alone...if ever."

"I do not know. I haven't seen a press this big since the wedding with Shining and Cadance." Luna said with a sigh.

"Hey, what's going on?" Spike asks as he arrives at the balcony. "Man, is it hard for me to get into the castle with those reporters. Let me guess: the pony's out of the stable, right?"

"Afraid so," Twilight said with a sad sigh. "And worst yet, my brother and Cadance has gotten a copy of me with Celestia, sending us a letter. Cadance seems to take the relationship well...my brother..."

"Is freaked out by the fact that his sister is now dating her aunt-in-law?"

"Weird-out, my brother claims that he always thought I have it big for the prin...wait. My brother is still with Cadance. How come he didn't fallen for another filly or colt yet?"

"My spell only affects those without loved ones. Those who are married, like Shining Armor and Princess Cadance, and those with lovers already, like Spike and Barbara, are immune." Celestia explains as she nuzzles her love a bit. "That way, no marriages or such can be broken."

"Yeah, I figure out." Spike said as he eats a donut that the dragon has brought at the local shop. "Soooo, what now?"

"We shall do the inevitable: come out with our relationship. It may be hard and a bit...awkward. Maybe even scandalous; But I cannot deny my love for my student any longer!"

"And neither am I with Rainbow Dash!" Luna exclaims in determination as she puts one hoof around Rainbow. "We shall deal with this problem together if need be."

Spike looks at the reporters then at the ponies, wondering how these lovers can explain their new relationships to the press and all of Equestria...and how will the country will take it? And why is it that lovers are going wild especially on the way over here?

-----------

More colts are laughing while chasing fillies, even Lyra and Bon-Bon are making out more than usual. Yes, the spell is getting way out of hand that some couples in love are thinking about marriage.

Diamond Tiara meanwhile is at her house with her new friends Sweetie and Scootaloo. Since the former bully won't be welcomed at the Carousel Baroque as Rarity is Applejack's new lover and she doesn't know where the filly Pegasus pony lives, her house will do.

"Oh, what am I going to do?" Diamond Tiara asks with a sad groan. "Apple Bloom won't let me talk to her and neither will her siblings."

"I'm really sorry, Diamond. I didn't mean to ruin your relationship." Sweetie said to Diamond in regret. "I just hope it doesn't ruin mine with Scoots."

"Not a thing, honey." Scootaloo remarks as she nuzzles Sweetie Belle a bit. "But we got to get Diamond Tiara back with Apple Bloom. Why not talk to her, Sweetie? Explain the misunderstanding."

"I don't think it's a good idea. Apple Bloom probably thinks that I'm too-timing ya. I'm scared of what she will do to me if I try to talk to her."

"Awww, you're sooooo cute when you're scared."

Sweetie, lying in a cute position, giggles to her love, "Tee-hee; 'Top it! Not true!"

"Girls, enough! Listen, I need your help...one of us has got to talk to her...but at the same time, I must prove that I really truly love her." Diamond Tiara said with a sigh while looking down. The Earth pony has found her true love and is going to lose her.

"Listen, I will talk to her. She needs some toughening up big time." Scootaloo said to Diamond Tiara in determination. "And luckily for me, I know of a way you can get back with her. Remember seeing that movie about that Little Seapony?"

---------------------------------

The scene opens up to Froggy Bottom Bogg, where a flaming emerald color portal appeared. And who should come out from it then those that have come to help fix the problem in Equestria; Golden Heart, Pinkamena and Lorcan. Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, but none as strange as this lot.

"Where to now," Golden Heart questioned to Lorcan in wondering as to what they do from here.

"Last I recall, it was within a cavern furthest to the middle of this atrocious place." Lorcan held his chin in recalling what last happened around this area when he was working on the dark side of his life. "I thought it was the most befitting for hiding Discord's soul away for all times to suffer." He responded a simple statement in what he was doing at the time he was evil with his former career.

"Boy, you had some issues, didn't you?" Pinkamena rolled her eyes in hearing this story; Lorcan had some problems in the past.

"You have no idea." Lorcan dryly responded with a sign from his voice, knowing how much of this was his own fault.

"Wait, did you hear that?" Golden Heart yelped from his sharp senses going off in hearing something nearby. "We're not alone here." He stated with much caution, something else was here besides them, question was; is it friend....or foe?

"Sussupvhmm...." Something was slithering up from the swamps as it towered over the group that suddenly felt a large shadow overlapping them.

"Hmm, if my senses are right, the danger should be....right behind us!" Pinkamena slowly spoke from having a guess in where their 'extra' person was. And when they turned to see what it was, many were surprised to recognize the serpent of this swamp territory; the Hydra.

"ROARRRUGH.../ROOAARRGHHH," The Hydra roared off its three heads while the other in the center right didn't respond quickly enough before finally joining what the others were doing.

"Oh great, the Hydra; Everyone get ready," Golden Heart issued off in not liking this as he got his horn ready with magic.

"Don't need to tell me twice!" Lorcan responded from almost about to summon his beam sabers, but...

"No wait you guys! I'll handle this guy, you find Discord's soul!" Pinkamena interrupted her friends to stop them while issuing that she'll handle this problem herself. "It's time for us to play!" She looked to the Hydra with her creepy sly smile in wanting to fight this beast.

"Is she serious?" Lorcan asked with disbelief that one single Earth Pony is facing the terrifying beast known as the Hydra.

"Knowing her, she's not someone you wanna make angry." Golden Heart shrugs off his shoulders in knowing more than anything, that his 'sister' will be fine here. "We leave this to you Pinkamena!" As the Golden pony stated this, he dragged Lorcan with him away from the battle.

"Bye!" Pinkamena waved happily to see the others leave before...showing a very creepy expression on her face. "Now, where should we begin?" She crack her neck in looking up at the Hydra as he only hissed before diving to attack the target, which Pinkamena responded with her eyes starting to...take effect in preparing her special talent.

Meanwhile, Lorcan and Golden Heart reached a certain hidden behind moss and other swampy grass lands that was like a cavern cave opening in a mountain area.

"Wait! This is it!" Lorcan spoke from inspecting the terrain here as he believes they found it. "This is the place where I vaguely recall wanting to seal away Discord's soul!" He spoke in remembering that no questions asked, this was where Discord's soul is hidden.

"Then let's get in!" Golden Heart spoke from preparing to step in to find what they seek. "Thruspvhm...Povhmm...." But then something flashed before him, and by the time Golden Heart noticed, something almost hit him; a hidden spear.

"Did I forget to mention that when I hid him away I magically performed countless defensive traps to stop intruders?" Lorcan spoke sheepishly in forgetting that he set this place up with lots of traps.

"Until now, you didn't. So just UN-Set the traps," Golden Heart narrowed his eyes at the guy while also asking that this teen dragon undo all of this.

"Problem with that; I set this up so that it be practically impossible for someone like me to pass." Lorcan shrugs off his shoulders in stating a problem to that plan. "Can't say what I was thinking then." He rubbed the back of his head in feeling that the idea for such an act, was a bit much in his evil days.

"Hugh, this will be a long day. But Equestria is counting on us, come on!" Golden Heart signed in how things have to go now, nothing to do now but move through the traps.

Now things ended up beginning evasively more intense for the moment they carefully watched their first step of entry of where to step and watch out for spear holes. But that was nothing when from out of nowhere, a background theme was heard called 'Tai Ma Gekisen' by an Artist named Takanashi Yasuharu was playing without a word.

"What's with the music?" Golden Heart asked off puzzled in what they are hearing out of nowhere now.

"Oh boy; I forgot that I set that up to make intruders that 'do' make it through this, to face all the peril set traps at once without a break." Lorcan slapped his forehead in not believing this, of all the times for this to happen, he forgot this setup.

Then a crack noise was heard that made the two look back, only to stare in shock for what came was....A GIANT ROLLING SPIKE BALL!

"RUUUUUUN," Lorcan screamed out before dashing ahead.

"YIIIIKES," Golden Heart yelped out before quickly following Lorcan's lead advice.

Soon the two were running across a down path to avoid being crushed by the large boulder. They continued this way for what seemed like five minutes.

"Get ready to jump!" Lorcan quickly issued an order in what they gotta do now here.

"Why?" Golden Heart asked puzzled, why jump when they are running downwards.

"Just do it! Ready...NOW!" Lorcan snapped off to not argue, but to do as he said which was...right at this minute.

"Waaaaahhh," Golden Heart screamed when he was seen jumping along with Lorcan....OVER A LONG EDGE!

"CRUSHEDVHMM...." The boulder smashed against the lower wall that was below another entry spot that the two explorers made it safely. The boulder deceased downwards without being seen again.

"Hugh, that's cleared!" Golden Heart sighed with some relief; that was a close call there.

"Don't relax yet, that was only the welcome mat!" Lorcan exclaimed in seeing that they are far from being out of the woods yet.

Soon the scene changed to a room with columns popping out of places with bladed edges to almost likely cut any that come across them.

"Your idea," Golden Heart raised an eyebrow in seeing this was a trap Lorcan made to slice any careless intruders.

"Can't say it's not effective," Lorcan shrug off his shoulders in seeing that this was something he found effective in some ways.

So without delay, the two jumped to charge across the trap, Lorcan used his beam sabers to counter the trap's edges by blocking or slicing in half. Golden Heart used his wings to maneuver through or blast the blades with his magic. After a while, they’ve gotten through the next trap that would have stopped them, if not prepared.

But then after going through a entrance after passing through this area came a room filled with lava with only a single bridge to walk across.

"Lava; really; in the swamp," Golden Heart asked off in not believing this, what's red-hot lava doing underneath the swamps?

"Hey, they never said trying to keep intruders out was easily done." Lorcan shrug off to say that this was just something that just went with security measures.

"Then lets teleport across," Golden Heart spoke before beginning to focus his magic here. "Hmm...What? My magic isn't working." True to words, his horn couldn't glow, why was that?

"That's cause of those Cancel Stones imbedded in the walls." Lorcan pointed to weird looking hexagon glass stones in the walls that shimmer a bit. "They were design to cancel any magic if a spell caster were to simply teleport across." He explained that this was a trap set for anyone, even unicorns to have their magic useless.

"Then I'll fly!" Golden Heart spoke from taking off, and was about to move forward when....

"Thou-thou-thou-thou!/Hsisiisisivhmm...." Out of the strange hole structure parts of the walls, strange nugget-like creatures with bit-size chomping teeth chattered. But the pony duck to dodge them while they went into the other holes for them to slip in.

"What in Equestria was that?" Golden Heart asked in not believing what happened as he landed near Lorcan.

"Unlimited Bitters; they build their nest in those walls. Think of them like termites." Lorcan explained the basic introduction to some strange creatures here. "When they come in contact with any flier, they'll bit and bit to cause such an annoyance, you'll stop flying to drop in hot magma." He pointed his finger down in stating what this other trap was used for, to stop anyone even Pegasus ponies with wings from crossing this path.

"Then is crossing a magma pit pool our only choice?" Golden Heart harshly asked off in not believing they have the most dangerous choice left to go with.

"Prsuvhmmm...." Suddenly, a disbursed of a bubble from the magma shot something across the bridge like a creature jumping to dive in. After seeing that action, that looked just as dangerous as the others were.

"Yeah, it's pretty much the only choice left as long as we avoid them shooting disburse bubbles." Lorcan nodded off with a dry casual tone in not being as uptight worried as the pony was.

Now things really got hairy here as both explorers were carefully walking across the bridge while watching out for any disburse activities. By the time they were halfway, some explosive bubble popping lava actions happened that made both of these guys yelp to duck, dodge, take cover, anything as long as they not jump or fly too high in the air to set another trap and stay on the bridge to not fall off it. You can guess that much times, most of the hot debris landed on either's body or clothing to almost burn a mark on them. But after a few minutes, they managed to make it through that treacherous trap with their heads, arms, legs, and much of everything else intact.

"If this keeps up Lorcan, even I doubt I have much lives like a cat to spare." Golden Heart sighed from wiping the sweat off his forehead; this much was getting out of hand; any more deadly traps like this one and even he might find it impossible to escape from.

"Then you can relax, we've made it." Lorcan spoke off in pointing at something from looking through a hallway to see; the final ending point to their journey.

Hearing those words almost made Golden Heart drop there, but he had to remain strong before Lorcan. As both contenders walked into the room, it was shaped like any temple of holding forth the very well hidden treasure that was kept sealed and hidden in such a way that one would think this whole getting through countless traps was a piece of cake. And there on an altar was a small crystalized sphere the size of a baseball. It was glowing with an eerie emerald, yellow and blacken coloring, like the inside was a swirling cloud of mist. Lorcan gazed at the subject itself in recognizing that, it was Discord's soul.

"We found it, hugh, now to get it and go!" Golden Heart spoke with relief as he soon used his wings to approach the altar.

"Hmm….something about this makes me think I've forgotten a very important reminder. But what," Lorcan rubbed his chin in recalling a very important subject here, but what was it now?

"And…gotcha," Golden Heart responded from touching the sphere crystal in his hooves off the altar.

"QRsuvhmgrugruvhmm…" Just then without warning, the entire temple was shaking.

"Oh no…I just remembered! This whole place is gonna crumble beneath our heads when you touch that sphere!" Lorcan yelped from looking up in just now remembering something he also did if someone succeeded in getting Discord's soul from this place.

"Really; you even went so far?" Golden Heart asked off rhetorically in not believing this guy went to such off-lengths here.

"What can I say, I wasn't thinking so clearly!" Lorcan easily shrug off his shoulders in a lazily response that he just wasn't caring much for thought of the idea.

"We have to escape! Is there any way out of here besides retracing our steps?" Golden Heart responded from seeing the ceiling was starting to come down on them?

"I ask for time, but with no magic to work in this area, we're as good as done!" Lorcan responded in seeing some Cancel Gems in the room, and their time is cutting short, they have to escape, but how? It seems all but impossible to be buried alive at this point.

"Hay you guys!" A sudden voice called out from a hidden secret passage that was opened to reveal; the pink pony friend. "There you are!" Pinkamena smiled to wave in greeting her friends at such a place without noticing the place coming down.

"Pinkamena; How'd you get here," Golden Heart asked in disbelief, how his sister managed to get here so suddenly?

"Silly brother of mine; I happen to discover a secret switch thing that showed a hidden flank of stairs, and by the time I reached the end, I found you guys here!" Pinkamena waved off in seeing how her brother was being silly, her answer was very simple, maybe almost too simple to believe it's true.

"Oh that's right! How silly of me! I set that up to let myself get by those traps to come and tease Discord!" Lorcan slapped his forehead in suddenly remembering that secret passage to bypass all the traps to get to this place. "Boy, my memory really needs to work out in what I've remembered, but forgotten to remember!" He exclaimed off in not believing how he could have left such an important fact like that slip his mind so easily.

"I'll say! To the point of getting us killed! But we'll discuss this later, let's get out!" Golden Heart rolled his eyes in thinking how possible it was for Lorcan, but now is the time to run than argue.

Then no later did the music finally reach its verdict of an ending when the group finally ran through their exit before everything got buried. And out of the cavern was a secret passage into the mountain, which Pinkamena came out first, followed by Lorcan and Golden Heart holding the crystal sphere object holding Discord's soul.

"Tell me Pinkamena, how did you defeat that Hydra so quickly to try finding us?" Lorcan asked with a raised curious eye in seeing the Hydra nowhere in sight.

"Silly, I gave it the 'Brrrrs' that ended our fight." Pinkamena waved off to happily explain how she managed to easily defeat the beast, with the move to freeze him. "Then afterwards, I wanted to find you guys and you know the rest." Hearing this was enough to understand how this pink pony does things almost like Pinkie Pie, almost since she was a copy with a disfigured facial work. "Ooooh, so is that Discord's soul?" She asked from looking in Goldie's hooves of the item in question they came for.

"Doesn't look like much. You sure it's him?" Golden Heart asked off to Lorcan in wondering if they got the right item.

"Ugh…would you keep it down, I'm resting here." Spoke a strange unrecognizable voice in the air.

"Who said that?" Golden Heart asked form looking around but saw no one.

"Not me or Lorcan." Pinkamena stated in not knowing that voice was her or the cloaked dragon teen.

"I believe it's the person you have in question. Hmph-hmph…" Lorcan exclaimed in stating where the voice originated from while he let loose a chuckle under his breath.

"What in all of Chaos-Glory is all the racket? I'm resting here!" By the time Golden Heart and Pinkamena heard the voice again, they saw it came from…the crystal sphere the stallion held. "Wait a second, where am I now? And who are all of you? Wait…I remember you. I KNOW YOU!" The crystal showed a little faded bare-yellow light in the center of its form, but it sounded a bit squeaky like a chipmunk.

"Wooh; who's in this thing that sounds so cute with that funny voice," Pinkamena asked with a smile in looking the crystal sphere with interest.

"Wait Lorcan, you said we found Discord, so are you saying this is…" Golden Heart asked with much disbelief, this thing couldn't be Discord they hear talking…could it?

"Yep, the Lord of Chaos and Disharmony himself," Lorcan proudly pointed to the crystal sphere Goldie held was the one that held Discord alright. "Or rather, himself in the humorist of teasy tortures I've given him back in my former evil line of work!" He smiled to make a sly tease remark in what he did to the guy, last time the two were together during the Invasion of Equestia's conquest.

"TEASY! YOU CHANGED MY VOICE TO SOUND LIKE THIS! A CHIPMUNK," The chipmunk voice of Discord retorted that remark that he heard by his own claim of the matter.

"Bwuffvhmm…/Bwahahahahaha," Suddenly, both ponies couldn't fight the urge, and let out crazy laughter; Discord's new voice was so cute, it was funny to hear the great enemy sound so funny.

"Oh, he sounds so cute! I like him this way a lot better!" Pinkamena smiled to say while the sphere lit up its yellow light in making some grumbling sounds under breath.

"Hugh-hugh….for once Lorcan, I'm not against this idea you used." Golden Heart took a moment to catch his breath; this was finally something he likes from Lorcan's work.

"Easy for you to say; YOU'RE NOT IN THIS STATE LIKE I AM!" Discord snapped off to say in protesting that Golden Heart isn't in his shoes. Course, being trapped in a sphere made of crystal, and as a spirit, he doesn't have shoes at all.

"Discord, as much as we wanna catch up on old times, I'm not the evil dragon you once believed me to being." Lorcan spoke in trying to make a conversation to the spirit that was the lord of Chaos. "I am now a reformed evil dragon. You can trust me to no longer being the evil guy you last saw me as." He tried to explain that he's no longer evil, but that he's a good dragon from now on.

"HAH! I may be stuck in this prison, with this IRRITATING sounding voice, but I'm not so STUPID to believe your lying words!" Discord's sphere lit up much yellow light in sarcastically remarking such a claim if he's ever heard of one. "This must be something to catch my guard down, make me have hoped that I'll FINALLY return! Only for you to ruin it and then THROW ME BACK IN ANOTHER Confounded Temple," The spirit trapped within was in a very aggressive mood, that'll do when one has no body, and no one to talk to, at least when a statue, he could see most of the time.

"As much as I love to see how this argument goes on and how it'll all end, I'm gonna have to cut it short." Golden Heart interrupted the argument between two former Brotherhood members with their mission.

"Right, Equestria needs your help Discord!" Pinkamena pointed out that they came to get Discord, cause they want his help.

"My help; did you say my help? MY HEEEEEELP," Discord slowly responded at first, surprised, but then lash out loudly on the last bit. "Where was my help in getting out of such a state that I'm still stuck in?" The chipmunk voice snapped off in asking about him not being all free.

"Just now; we got you out of the cavern when it collapsed, which we could have left you buried." Lorcan remarked off to state what they could have done to save their own skins if not coming to retrieve the contained spirit.

"Uuuuuuugh," Discord's voice dropped like a hat, he hates to admit it, but Lorcan made a valid point. "As if I got much a choice, for whoever has my prison, I can't do anything to stop them anyhow." He remarked off that he can't fight against whoever holds him, which is how Lorcan made his prison to be.

"Alright Lorcan, get us back to Canterlot. I fear we're not too late." Golden Heart declared off in readying himself and the rest to return home.

"Right, before the chaos ends up messing up everyone's love life," Pinkamena stated off with worry, they've been gone for a while, who knows what happened?

"Okay, now THIS is something that has 'perked' my curiosity. If Chaos is involved, then this might be the cheering up for me after everything I've been through!" Discord's voice spoke off from his prison, finding the conversation he's hearing very fetching to his curious interest.

"Believe me Discord, I'll explain in the beginning what happened after I banished your soul. Times have changed." Lorcan exclaimed that in short of everything that happened from his betraying the Brotherhood of Tadaka to the point of his defeat of his own Dragon Army. "And right now, more things begin to shift. Here goes," He declared off that now things are shifting, and they must make quick haste to fix what is broken.

"Thruspvhmmm…/Gruspvhmm…" Soon Lorcan summoned his emerald flame portal for him, Pinkamena and Golden Heart to travel through, with Discord's crystal sphere container prison in hand, or hoof, before the portal vanished. As they left the Frog Bottom Bogg, Hydra was making some 'Brrr' noises while shivering; the pink pony gave him something that'll last for a while. Now for things happening in Equestria from the strong love spell by Celestia, questions remain if with Discord's help, can he even undo such a spell with his disharmony & chaos powers? It all remains to be seen, we're afraid to say.

----------------------------

Inside the Carousel Baroque, Applejack and Rarity are wedding dresses, both of them are smiling.

"Yew look so good, Rare." Applejack said to her love teasingly.

"Awww, same to you, darling," Rarity said to Applejack slyly. "Say, I got a wonderful idea for a game."

"Like what?" Applejack asks Rarity curiously.

"Just pretending to do our vows; so if one day we do get married, we will be...prepared." Rarity said to Applejack with an interesting smile.

"Okay, Rarity. Anyt'ing fer yew," Applejack said with a wink.

"Okay, I will start." Rarity said, clearing her throat then pretend to be practicing vows. "My dear Applejack, ever since I first met you, I thought you were rude and dirty...and your manners need perfecting. But then I got to know you as a friend...and more. I would be happy to live my life with you and do my best to love you despite of what flaws you have."

"Mah turn." Applejack remarks with a slight giggle. "Anywho, Rare, Ah am done glad 'ta have met ya. Even though yew were persnickety an' fussy...an' bossy, yew were generous 'ta ponies an' 'ta those who needed help. Hay, Ah love yew so much 'dat 'dat wish 'ta be wit' yew...always mah beautiful darling."

Rarity blush a bit, then say, "Do you take me to be your wife?"

"Ah do. An' do yew take me 'ta be yer wife?" Applejack asks Rarity lovingly.

"I do." Rarity said with a loving sigh.

"Shucks, then we're wife and wife! Let's kiss!" Applejack remarks as the two lovers kiss.

"Oh, my cupcakes," A familiar voice squeals in delight. The lover yelps as they saw Pinkie, the one who spoke, coming in with Fluttershy. "Are you practicing vows?! Did any of you propose yet?!"

"Shucks, no. We were just playing, Pinkie." Applejack said with a blush, "Ain't planning on marrying...yet."

"Yes...so what brings you two darlings in here?" Rarity asks Pinkie and Fluttershy with a smile.

"We wanna try on wedding dresses...just got in our minds." Fluttershy said meekly.

"Oh why not; I got more, go ahead and pick on." Rarity said to her friends playfully.

"Thank you, Rarity!" Pinkie said happily, and she and Fluttershy then went to pick out their wedding dresses.

"Soooo...how is your sister doing, Applejack?" Fluttershy ask Applejack as she puts on a dress.

"Ugh! She's miserable!" Applejack exclaims angrily. "Diamond broke her heart!"

"Really," Pinkie asks Applejack in surprise, "But what?"

"Well, Applejack told me that Apple Bloom caught her kissing Sweetie Belle. Can you believe it?! My little sister of all ponies," Rarity exclaims in disgust. "We knew Diamond Tiara was bad but enough to steal my sister from her true love?!"

"Well, did Apple Bloom give Diamond a chance to explain herself?" Fluttershy ask her friends curiously.

"Well, no." Applejack admits. It's true; Diamond Tiara didn't get a chance to explain what happened. "But it doesn't matter, right?"

"Right, we can see right through that ruffian!" Rarity remarks in agreement.

"Fluttershy got something. We don't know if it's real or it was an accident!" Pinkie chirps while in a wedding dress, admiring herself in a mirror.

"Well, unless Apple Bloom has a good reason 'ta see her again, Ah don't want 'dat heartbreaker near mah sister." Applejack remarks with a deep frown.

"Right, it's all up to Apple Bloom now." Rarity said in agreement.

--------------------------------------

Apple Bloom sobs a bit as she sat on her bed. The poor filly tries to forget it but it's no use. Apple Bloom misses Diamond Tiara. Oh, why can't she get that 'traitor' out of her head?

Just then a knock came at the door, Apple Bloom sniffs while saying, "Come in."

"Hey, Apple Bloom." Scootaloo comments as she came into the room. "Listen, your big brother went off to see Cheerilee for a mad reason...so I let myself in. Hope you don't mind."

"Okay." Apple Bloom sniffled.

Scootaloo came to Apple Bloom as she spoke, "Listen, it's about what happened with Sweetie and Diamond..."

"Yeah, yew must be traumatized 'dat she stole yer filly." Apple Bloom said sniffing some more. "Ah done understand yer anger. We must be in 'dat time where love means nothing 'ta either one o' us yet."

"No! What happened was a misunderstanding! First off, it wasn't Diamond who kissed Sweetie, it was her. And second, that was an accident!" Scootaloo explains to Apple Bloom over what happened.

"It... it was?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Yeah, Sweetie and I were playing a game with us wearing blind folds and kissing one another." Scootaloo explains some more. "Then a solar eclipse happened."

"Huh. Come 'ta think o' it, everything did gone dark fer a few seconds." Apple Bloom said, recalling that it went dark for a few seconds. "Maybe there was a solar eclipse."

"Yeah. Anyway, it was Sweetie's turn to play...and she kisses Diamond, thinking she was me!" Scootaloo explains to Apple Bloom.

"It was?! Oh, what was Ah thinkin'?" Apple Bloom asked in shock and guilt.

"Yeah, kinda a shocker, huh," Scootaloo ask with a shrug. "Listen, Diamond and Sweetie wanted me to tell you the truth since you are too heartbroken to hear it from them. Just come with me so you can talk this out."

"Ah can't. Diamond must be angry at me fer accusing her." Apple Bloom said in sadness and guilt. At least what happened was a mistake, but does it matter? Diamond Tiara is probably angry at her and would never forgive her.

"Diamond still loves you, she even regrets what happens! Just talk to her, give her another chance!" Scootaloo insists to her friend some more.

"Well, okay...Ah guess...but if nothing good comes out o' 'dis, then it's over..." Apple Bloom said with a sad sigh. The filly hopes that things between her and Diamond Tiara will work out again.

-----------------------

The Press is out in front of the castle, all of them are eager and waiting. The Royal Sisters are preparing to make a statement involving them, Twilight and Rainbow.

During this, not one of them saw a familiar portal arriving with three figures and a soul. Discord's voice said, "All right, Lorcan. What's going on? Where are we?"

"We're in Canterlot and something's happening." Lorcan said, noting the reporters.

"Looks like the princesses are making a press statement." Golden Heart said then he saw something coming out of the doors. "There they are now!"

"I wanna see...I wanna see!" Pinkamena exclaims as she jumps up and down, wanting to see.

Celestia and Luna were in front, leaving the castle with Twilight and Rainbow behind them. The two princesses nod as Celestia spoke, "Everypony, may I have your attention please?"

Everypony kept on chatting until Luna spoke in the Royal Canterlot Voice, "EVERYPONY SILENCE!!!"

Hearing this got the ponies to stop chatting instantly on hearing Luna yelling out in the Royal Canterlot Voice.

"Thank you, Luna. Ahem...ponies, you heard rumors and stories of my sister and I being involved with my student and her friend Rainbow Dash." Celestia said, she blush while holding hooves with Twilight with Rainbow holding Luna's. "We will put the rumors to rest...yes, it is true."

The crowd gasps in surprise and photographers took pictures. Golden Heart's group listen in as Discord's voice ask in surprise, "Did I hear right? Is Celly and Luna in love?"

"Yeah, Celestia is in love with Twilight while Luna is in love with Rainbow." Pinkamena explains to Discord making Lorcan sigh a bit.

"Ho ho ho ho; I can't believe what I'm hearing. Oh, I wish I was out so I can see the look on their faces." Discord's voice laughs a bit, making the other hush him.

"Yes, I am with Rainbow Dash. And even though my sister is Twilight's aunt-in-law, they aren't blood related so it doesn't matter." Luna said with a wing wrapped around Rainbow who blushes. "Love will find a way."

"Love has been going around Equestria and it happens here at the castle." Celestia said while grinning to Twilight. "Which is why, as of today, Twilight Sparkle is now...my faithful suitor."

Golden Heart, Pinkamena, Lorcan Discord gasps in concern as Luna said, "And Rainbow Dash is my own suitor. Now be good reporters and leave us to our loves for the next few minutes or so. We don't know if marriage will happen...but we will wait and see."

The Royal Suitors came in with their filly-friends. The crowd disperses. Lorcan then spoke to Discord, "See, what we're dealing with? Luna gave a dare to Celestia to cast a love spell over Equestria and now ponies, except for married couples and those in love already, are falling in love, including the Royal Sisters, Twilight and Rainbow! And…well, this thing is getting out of hoof with the chasing and this."

"Oh, ha ha ha ha! Now that is what I called wonderful chaos!" Discord is heard laughing in amusement. "Didn't think Celly has it in her!"

"Look, we want you to cast some magic of your own, undo this spell and plus change things back to normal." Golden Heart explains to Discord with a sigh. "If this gets out of hand..."

"Come on, this is great chaos. Why should I stop it?" Discord asks his enemies in amusement. To the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony, this falling in love craziness sounds like wonderful fun to him.

"Okay, look, Discord...I will make you a deal. I will return your soul to your body." Lorcan explains to Discord sternly. "I will also not mention your embarrassing chipmunk voice as a bonus. But you must undo Celly's little love spell as well."

"Hmm, how tempting...I will think about that, give me time to…" Discord said to Lorcan thoughtfully.

"You got an hour to decide...then I am showing you off!" Lorcan snaps as he shakes Discord's soul a bit, making him yelp in alarm.

"Okay, okay! Give me an hour, an hour!" Discord's voice trembles in worry. Bad enough to be laughed at before, but if more ponies find out about his...condition, his reputation will be ruined!

--------------------

Scootaloo takes Apple Bloom to the park as the sun is setting. The Earth pony saw her; Diamond Tiara, her love, in a beautiful dress, waiting a bit nervously for her.

"Go on, go ahead." Scootaloo said as she pushes Apple Bloom up ahead.

"Okay, okay, quit shoving." Apple Bloom said to Scootaloo as she trots up to Diamond, "Err, Diamond?"

"Hey, Apple Bloom." Diamond Tiara said, looking away in guilt and sadness, "Fancy...meeting you here."

"Eeyup. Fancy..."

Apple Bloom was interrupted by pony playing. The filly saw her CMC pals and some colts and fillies playing romantic music on instruments. Apparently Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle has decided to do so to help set things right.

Diamond Tiara sighs while saying, "Apple Bloom, about what happened earlier..."

"Shucks, Ah know. Scootaloo told me what happened." Apple Bloom said, looking down in sadness. "Ah done feel like a jerk...a bully fer not believing yew. Ah done thought 'dat yew still hated me...'dat yew were playing on mah lil' old feelings..."

"At one time...I would've...but not anymore. I'm sorry that this misunderstanding gets out of hand, really."

"An' Ah is sorry fer not believing yew."

The two lovers hug one another...then smiles as they begin to dance. Scootaloo and Sweetie grins. It looks to them that Aople Bloom and Diamond Tiara has made up and is back together.

"Wanna dance?" Scootaloo ask Sweetie, motioning her love to dance with her.

"Of course," Sweetie giggles as she and Scootaloo begins dancing as the romantic music begins to play.

Yes, it looks like this one night that will last forever...or will it?

-----------

The Mane Four giggles as they sat on the floor in the Carousel Baroque in wedding dresses. Today was so much fun.

"Shucks, Ah have a good time, don't yew Rare?" Applejack asks as she and Rarity are in each other's hooves.

"I sure did! Oh, I cannot wait to do this again sometime!" Rarity giggles as she kisses Applejack.

"Yeah, I'm glad that one day I get married to Fluttershy for real." Fluttershy said with a happy romantic sigh.

The couples look at each other...deep thoughts enter their minds. Could they do it? Will the mares...take the big leap?

------------------------------------

Celestia is in her room, smiling as she and Twilight sat on the bedroom. Spike came in, brushing his teeth while asking, "Twilight, any chance we can go home sometime soon?"

"Maybe tomorrow, Spike." Twilight said to Spike with a sigh.

"Come on, Barbara is probably wondering where I am by now!"

"Tomorrow, promise!"

"Sooo...now that you and the princess are together now..." Spike begins to ask the two mares with a mischievous smile. "Any chance you two will pop the big question anytime soon?"

"Spike," Twilight and Celestia exclaims with blushes on their faces.

"What? Twilight is Celestia's suitor now. If not now, when?"

"Well..." Celestia said thoughtfully as she begins to nuzzle her student/suitor. The thought does cross her mind...maybe the time now to take this relationship up a bit...

And when Twilight is ready for the next levels of her study, that reward will be worth it!

---------------------------

Rainbow and Luna laughs as they reach the tower of the castle where the Goddess of the Night lives at. The alicorn squeals, "My dear Rainbow Dash, this night has been doubled the fun!"

"And 20% awesome," Rainbow exclaims as the two ponies enter the bedroom. "Oh man, I would love to do this with you forever!"

"Hmmm...maybe you will."

"Wait, what do you mean?"

Luna smiles as she takes Rainbow by the hooves. This is it, the big question. It's time for Luna to tell her love what she wanted to tell her. If Rainbow say yes...then the two will be together forever, no matter what!

---------------------------------

Outside in the center of the area above Canterlot, Lorcan, Golden Heart, and Pinkamena had Discord's prison sphere in the cloak dragon's claws. Lorcan explained that he'll be the one to break the spell (for reasons unknown to the rest, but personal to him).

"You sure this spell won't backfire?" Pinkamena questioned the cloak dragon's plan in using the Spirit of Chaos to fix things.

"Trust me, I have it covered." Lorcan stated in letting the others know that he's got this under control here.

"If I had fingers, I cross them for luck." Golden Heart shrugs off his hooves in hoping for the best here.

"Thou that has cast the spell over all, I speak to thee...Unleash the spirit of Chaos imprisoned to Discord the spell controlling all...Let them return and be free from what brings for this act...NOOOW!" Lorcan was slowly performing a spell to be cast to take effect over all as he held the crystal sphere that glowed strongly.

"Thruspvhmmm..." Lightning flashed as the clouds covered all...this was the sign.

"It's working...IT'S WORKING! I'll soon be free and return to my body to seek VENGEANCE!" Discord's voice was heard as he felt himself beginning to slip out of the sphere to have full use of his magic; and once done, he'll get some payback.

"Yeah, about that... you're half right." Lorcan remotely spoke with a dry tone in disagreeing to that topic.

"What?" Discord asked off a bit puzzled in hearing this out of nowhere.

"True, to perform this spell, I must release your soul to scattered to remove the strong love spell over all ponies, but while you return to your body...well, you'll still be in a stiff state like always." Lorcan explained that while Discord does this, he's free to go back to his stone body, but his 'freedom' will be short lived afterwards.

"You mean...Oh No...Noooo..." Discord was suddenly starting to get all panicky, he'll be trapped again in his stone body, and he couldn't stop even if he wanted to. "Thruspvhmmm..." Lightning stroked the crystal sphere, unleashing the spirit to take his neo-imagine form to slither up into the skies.

Soon above the clouds, Discord's spirit energy went it before disbursing itself in a bright flash. Then without warning, rain seems to appear out of nowhere. Only this wasn't rain of water, but sparkles of emerald twilight of glittering stars pouring down. It was happening everywhere and at all the places the spell Celestia cast had performed. Ponyville, Cloudsdale, Canterlot, you name it; it was raining the pretty sparkles outside, and even phased inside the buildings. Every pony that looked up to this was puzzled, yet curious by this development. But without knowing it, a sign of strong love aura was glimmering around the ponies’ bodies before slithering off to fad from existence. This brought many ponies into a sudden puzzlement and of confusion as to what happened between them, as if almost unable to recall anything.

In Canterlot's Garden, Discord's statue body glowed from the sparkle ran, but was trying to move. "NOOWAAAAUUUGHHH..." Discord cried out to stop himself from becoming frozen as he soon posed his state back into what he looked like when the Mane Six stopped him then what Lorcan made him appear when the former dragon villain separated his body and soul. On the scene, Golden Heart and Pinkamena saw the action.

"Wow, guess he's back where he belongs." Golden Heart stated from taking notice of the situation? "Where's Lorcan gone?" He asked in seeing they were missing someone that helped them with the crazy love affair.

"Said he had to help 'fix' the damage of news that slipped out with the whole 'someone loves this pony out of stature, etc.' stuff?" Pinkamena explained off the short version of what Lorcan was doing, with everypony in confusion; he's erasing evidence of such news like Celestia and Twilight together, etc.

---------------

In the park, the aura disappears, leavings colts and fillies confused, wondering what happened. The couples stopped their dancing, looking a bit confused. Scootaloo ask, "What are we doing?"

"Were we dancing as if under a love poison or something?" Sweetie asks dumbstruck, not sure what has happened.

"Ugh, get off me." Diamond Tiara snaps as she pushes Apple Bloom away while trotting off. "I don't know what I am doing or what you're doing but I'm splitting this scene."

Apple Bloom looks confused but looks down, then she chases after Diamond Tiara, calling, "Diamond, wait!"

-------------

The ones in the Carousel Baroque snaps out of it, all of them are confused, wondering what they are doing here...and in wedding dresses to boot.

"Hey, are we attending another wedding?" Pinkie assk happily, not sure what's going on. "Wait, Mr. Narrator. I know what's going on! We were under that spell thingie and..."

Pinkie Pie!

"Oh, right, sorry!" Pinkie said, much to the confusion of the ponies.

------------

The Royal Sisters were about to do it, pop their big questions to their loves...when the love aura that affected even them disappears...and Celestia and Luna just stood or sat there, looking shocked and awkward to Rainbow and Twilight who are confused as they are.

And yet, although the spell that Celestia has cast is gone, some true feelings remain...

Epilogue: Love Forever

Epilogue: Love Forever

Things are slowing down all over Equestria and Ponyville. No one, except maybe the Royal Sisters, as well as Twilight and Rainbow, remember the spell that was casted not so ago or what they have done during that time. The ponies have no idea that some of them are either in love or something. They of course shrug it off and do other activities...or what themselves were doing.

Rarity sighs as she cleans up the mess in her Carousel Baroque, stating, "I can't remember what has happened. Were you all modeling for me or trying on clothes?"

"Modeling? Yew know Ah ain't into 'dat frou-frou stuff." Applejack points out to Rarity in annoyance.

"Still, would've been smashing if you did."

"Oh my...I feel like embarrassed. We must've done something." Fluttershy said in concern. "But for some reason, we must've forgotten."

"Must've been a spell or something or another," Applejack said thoughtfully, "But what?"

"Well, maybe we have fallen in love or something and has forgotten all about it! Silly us," Pinkie giggles as she hugs Fluttershy. "I will always love my Fluttershy."

"Wait, you do love me?" Fluttershy ask Pinkie blushing. "Wow...I guess I..."

"Come on! I know you love me, admit it, Miss Shy!"

"Oh, Pinkie!"

The two restored couple nuzzles each other and heads out. The spell may be over but their true love remains. Applejack and Rarity stay where they're at inside, wondering what's happening.

"I think they would make a good couple, don't you think Applejack darling?" Rarity ask Applejack with a smile.

"Shucks, they must've. Kinda like how yew an' Ah would've..." Applejack then blushes as Rarity looks at her. "Err, what Ah meant 'ta say..."

"Applejack, you're cute when you do that."

"Really?"

"But do me a favor...shut up and kiss me." Rarity said slyly as she kiss Applejack, causing her to blush a bit. The mare kisses her right back.

Looks like there's true between these two as well.

---------------

Luna looks very embarrassed. She and Rainbow recalls the spell that Celestia has used as well as their behavior. The cyan Pegasus pony heads off as the alicorn comes into her room, sighing.

"Was I truly in love with Rainbow or was it Celly's spell talking? It feels so right but..." Luna mumbles a bit. The spell may be over but something about Rainbow still feels right, regardless; But...

"Luna." A familiar voice spoke up, causing Luna to jump a bit. There's Lorcan nearby, coming in through a secret passage.

"Oh, Lordcan; I didn't hear you coming!"

"Yeah, with all the fun you and your sister has been doing, I am not surprised."

"I'm...I'm sorry. My sister has casted a spell on a dare that I made. It must've affected both of us as well as I remember falling for Rainbow Dash and my sister for Twilight Sparkle." Luna explains to Lorcan with a blush. "I apologize if I haven't spent time with you as promised but.."

"Sssh, it's okay, I understand. You went through a lot and..." Lorcan pauses then smiles as he got an idea. "Listen, follow me."

Lorcan led Luna through the secret passage, taking the alicorn to one end and entering some sort of empty dance chamber in Canterlot Palace. Luna looks amazed. The whole room looks decorated as if being prepared for something amazing and romantic.

"Lorcan, this is amazing. How did..." Luna heard a record playing, turning to see Lorcan who has turned on the record player, playing music from 'Beauty and the Beast'. "Oh, Lordcan..."

"Wanna dance?" Lorcan asks with a blush as he held a claw right out.

Luna didn't hesitate. She takes Lorcan by the claws and the two begin to dance as if in a scene from 'Beauty and the Beast' itself. It was so romantic and wonderful; one could forget the insanity that happened not so long ago...almost.

"You know, Lordcan...it’s great doing this with you again, it really is." Luna said with a happily sigh.

"Yes...but...?" Lorcan asks Luna in concern, noticing a worried sad look on her face.

"Oh, I don't know. I got feelings for you...but some bits of me still has feelings for Rainbow Dash. I feel terrified; I don't know what to do."

Lorcan pauses to do some thinking. He doesn't wish for Rainbow Dash to be alone and understand Luna's newfound feelings for her...but at the same time, the dragon doesn't want to lose the alicorn he loves. How to resolve this?

Finally, Lorcan grins as he said, "I got an idea..."

-------------

"Well, I hope you girls are back to normal." Spike said as he finishes packing a bit. It's almost time for Twilight and Rainbow to return to Ponyville. The unicorn glances at her teacher, recalling all the good times that they did. The two has...a wonderful relationship. But is it real or part of the spell?

"Yes, of course, we are. Listen, Spike, I need to talk with Twilight if you don't mind." Celestia said to Spike who nods and leaves the room. "Twilight, I thank you so much for understanding and not being mad for going through with that dare. I feel so foolish."

"No, no. You were just doing what you thought was right...or what you felt was right or..." Twilight groans a bit, begin to react or something. The spell is supposed to be over...so why is she feeling something for the princess?

"Twilight, is something wrong?"

Ay ay ay ya
Ay ay ya
Que que na-to-ra
You will understand

Twilight sighs then said, "Celly...I am feeling something for you...something that I thought wasn't real...but the truth is, it is how I feel all along. It's...love." The princess looks surprised as her student continues. "As in how much I really care in a relationship sort of way...but is it right to feel this way?"

Listen with your heart
You will understand

"Is the feelings of a student really having such understanding love for a teacher, and aunt-in-law even with it being the princess, was this the love that I feels and not just some over-obsessive behavior to doing something rash that others find it weird?" Twilight ask her love in sadness, wanting to know. "Please tell me...I cannot take the suspense."

Let it break upon you
Like a wave upon the sand

But then Celestia hugs Twilight, saying, "My faithful student. I know what you're feeling. The love of course that we have is the kind from the two, which is us, always understanding each other, from student to teacher, to a proud model for the younger generation to look up to, and finally, being apart of sharing their understanding when we are now as close as family.'

"Really," Twilight ask Celestia hopefully.

"Yes. All that is the love that we can share with each other, as we always have that's made it so strong, not from something like a force habit of love, but the love the heart builds from time spent with those you've come to truly understand as you grow, as does the heart itself."

"Well, I guess it's just a family love. Not true love."

"Yes, but..." Celestia smiles warmly as she kisses Twilight on the lips, making her gasp and blush a bit.

"Princ...Cele..." Twilight said blushing while the princess removes her lips, giving her a wink.

"Doesn't say that we still can't do that of course; We will take it slowly as to not reveal our relationship just yet...maybe someday we will come out for real....my faithful suitor."

Listen with your heart
You will understand

You will understand ...

Twilight shed some tears as she kiss Celestia right back, whispering, "I love you, Celestia."

"I love you too, Twilight." Celestia said as the two hug in a pony like away. Their secret love will remain a secret...for now. But until then, they will continue their student-teacher relationship in public...and their secret love whenever the two ponies can do in secret.

--------------

Apple Bloom chases Diamond Tiara, finding her near a corner. The bullying filly tries to get over what happened, while not remembering too much. The non-cutie mark pony said, "Diamond..."

"Get lost, blank flank! Why must you follow me around," Diamond Tiara snaps to Apple Bloom in annoyance.

"Diamond Tiara...listen, Ah don't recall what happened...but Ah done think we may have share feelings."

"Yeah, in your head; Ugh! Seeing you really annoy me."

"But Ah do remember yer reasons fer bullying...an' why yew are." Apple Bloom explains to Diamond Tiara as she glares at her. "Ah feel like that Ah may have somehow felt like understanding yew better than before. Seeing pass 'de outside is 'de cry of somepony 'dat just has a hard time expressing 'de right feelings an' instead just tries 'ta push them away so 'dat way, no one will not be hurt."

"How would you know how I feel?" Diamond asks Apple Bloom as she turns to her slowly. "How would you know that I wasn't making it up."

"Because deep down...Ah know," Apple Bloom leans forward and kiss Diamond on the head, making the filly gasp and blush a bit. "Look, if yew feels 'de need 'ta talk...Ah will be with mah friends."

Apple Bloom heads trots off, Diamond Tiara sighs to her...in a lovingly like way. The spell may be over, but the feelings that the filly has for one of her targets still remain.

"No...I can't be..." Diamond Tiara said to herself, trying to deny what she's feeling. "But...what if I am?"

-------------------------

In the throne room, Celestia and Luna were greeted by Golden Heart, Pinkamena, and even Lorcan that entered the chambers.

"Well I've made sure to erase all evidence about that stunt you pulled and saved your reputations." Lorcan declared off in having completed a task that he finished doing.

"We thank you for this, Lorcan, everyone." Celestia spoke humbly to those here that helped fix a problem.

"But won't some ponies remember this... affair of what's happened?" Luna asked off with precaution of such another matter at hand.

"From what Lorcan did, he used a spell that erased something from existence, and from the article tabloid, removed a lot of other ponies' memories." Golden Heart explained that the precaution of such matters is taken care of. "Only those that have stronger force of magical talent can remember what truly transpired." He stated that only those like those in the room remember what happened.

"And we couldn't have done the removal spell without Discord's magic!" Pinkamena stated forth in mentioning one more addition. "It's a shame that he's our enemy, that magic could prove helpful like it did now." She stated how Discord's aid was nice, ashamed that he's an enemy than friend.

"Hmmm...Chaos Magic being...helpful...?" Celestia held her chin with a ponder thought for the moment of the idea.

"Oh no Celly, I know that look. You're thinking of having Discord freed to serve you!" Lorcan spoke off in seeing what the princess of the sun was up to; not good.

"That sounds about as crazy as trying to persuade him to join us!" Golden Heart protest that such an idea was almost insane.

"They are right sister, Discord is unpredictable." Luna stated to her sister in agreeing with the others.

"Maybe, but perhaps...he is a misunderstood creature." Celestia started off to mention something here. "He behaves like a child, getting everything he wants without truly knowing of his acts. If anything, maybe our most best course of action is..." She was pausing to prepare in what to say next here to be a shocker...

"Please don't say..." Golden Heart tried to urge the princess not to say what Celestia would say, however...

"Reforment." Celestia finished off her suggestion in what act to take with Discord.

"You want us to reform Discord?" Pinkamena asked off amazed and speechless of such an idea.

"Not us, we may not be so fortunate, Discord already has knowledge of our actions." Celestia stated that they are not likely to succeed in this task.

"Then that leaves only one choice...Twilight and her friends, correct?" Lorcan shrugs off his shoulders in having the second idea where this talk will get to.

"I shall discuss the topic later, right now, we have much to repair." Celestia stated that they'll chat about how to do things with Discord later, they have a kingdom to repair from the overwhelm work of love that overdid their senses.

"Yeah, I'm just glad that this whole thing didn't go a bit too far." Golden Heart shrugs off to say while he, Pinkamena and Lorcan soon were taking their leave.

"Well, looks like this act of forbidden love, we'll be under hush-hush, and mum's the word kinda discussion." Pinkamena stated off in what this'll be for them while they exit the chamber room.

Now this left only the Royal Sisters of Equestria to 'chat' about what they've learned from this whole mess they started from a dare.

"Well, that's the last time that I take a dare from you, Luna." Celestia said to Luna in frustration.

"Yeah, yeah, but at least we have some fun...Lorcan manages to understand." Luna said with a happy sigh. "Of course, I do recall that you mentioned telling me that your feelings for Twilight Sparkle still remains, correct?"

"Yes...we are now a pairing...but we will keep it a secret until the day we decide to come out. We're taking it slow of course."

Just then Discord, through a spell that his dragon made to let him see what's happening, and Lorcan appear, taunting in a sing-songy like matter, "Celly and Twilight, sitting in a tree-"

"Lorcan, do I have to tell Shining Armor that I'm hiding you?" Celestia ask Lorcan with a stern voice.

"Uhh…Later," Lorcan exclaims as he runs off, leaving a dust cloud in his shape behind. Discord's image disappears soone enough

"How about you and Rainbow Dash?"

"Some feelings for her remain but Lorcan has fixed that." Luna said, giving a wink to her sister. "So...shall I get ready for that show later, dear sister?"

"Of course, it shall be double the fun." Celestia giggles a bit. The Royal Sisters has announced that they are putting on a wonderful show for all of Equestria to see. After the madness that the dare has put everypony through, the ponies and creatures needed it.

---------------

The ponies gather in the fields and elsewhere for a special romantic occasion. As they watch, Luna is now performing a new trick with her 'Night' by having a 'Meteor Shower' that sparkles pretty in the quiet and gentle skies. From the stars falling across the night sky, and over the bright light of the moon which is a bright orange color by Celestia's doing.

During this time, every pony express things about certain kinds of 'love', like how they 'love' being together for things like this to share the moments, whether it's adventures or other daily matters, feel the 'Love' that brings them together to enjoy all those in company, family, friends, neighbors, animals, strangers and those afar or even those of mystery. The times to share one's 'Love' for moments of what they feel is compassion, and even the emotions very much relating to the Elements: Honesty of those you love to care for, Kindness to those you love and those that need to 'be' loved, Laughter to bring out the love of enjoyment no matter how sad things maybe, Generosity to share the love and not just keep it all for one's own self, Loyalty is saying that one's love for another is that kinda love, whether big or small, that love will never change as long as it's still there, Magic helps make even the power of love feel like a powerful magic spell has made it possible for it to give one and others so much to feel happy. With all of this, love has many shapes and forms, it just matters on what form it takes for one pony's life course, and it's for them to decide how it'll be shaped to be.

Rarity and Applejack grins as they held hooves with each other, as did Fluttershy and Pinkie, the couples are enjoying this moment. Even Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo are enjoying this, they realize the love that they have for each other and begin becoming filly friends.

Apple Bloom, who is watching this saw Diamond Tiara arriving, both are blushing to each other. Apple Bloom asks, "Did yew come 'ta watch 'de show?"

"Yes...and hang out but tonight only!" Diamond Tiara insists though she blushes some more. The truth is, the filly just wants to hang out...with Apple Bloom who she is starting to fall for all over again.

Twilight grins as Celestia, small and wearing a cloak, is standing near her. Spike, holding claws with Barbara, chuckles as the two ponies kiss each other while watching the show. The princesses work hard on making images so that they can still be with the ones that they themselves now love and still do the show.

All pairings are here...except for Rainbow. She feels alone and pining for Luna...but feels that the love that the Pegasus pony is feeling is no longer true. What will she do now?

"Rainbow Dash..." A familiar voice spoke up. Rainbow turns and saw a surprising side. There's Luna...except this one was a younger version of after she was freed from Nightmare Moon and before the alicorn has change her form!

"Luna!" Rainbow exclaims as she flies over to Luna...then saw the present one doing the show, looking back and forth between the Lunas, "But how?"

"Oh, someone made a double so that I will be with you, my darling Dash." The other Luna said slyly as she gave a wink to a cloaked Lorcan who is also watching the show. "But for now...call me Lulu."

The Luna now known as Lulu kiss Rainbow Dash, the mare smiles as she hug and kiss her newfound love. Luna, the one doing the show, smiles at what's happening. The half who loves Rainbow is now having her love...while the half who is watching this is still with Lorcan.

All in all, the night has become perfect for all.

-----------

We can hear Celestia narrating, "Things has become perfect over time since that dare that I took that put things out of hoof. But after it's done, we have found love...true love without being forced."

We see the pairings of Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie hanging out, going on dates, etc.

"Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie are now some pairs, hanging out and dating. A few months or so later, the couples became engaged. Their marriage is up for discussion at this time. I do hope that everything turns out fine for all of them."

We see Scootaloo and Sweetie still looking for their cutie marks with Apple Bloom and Nyx joining in.

"Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle has become a pairing as well. Since they are too young for marriage, the fillies decide to just go on dates in the meantime, while still looking for their cutie marks. Oh, I do hope that someday, those little ones will find their true talents."

In another scene in the montage, Diamond Tiara kisses Apple Bloom, much to the surprise of the other CMC members as well as Silver Spoon, with Apple Bloom herself blushing.

"A few weeks later, Diamond Tiara finally broke down and revealed her true love for Apple Bloom. Ever since then, the two became a pairing with the bully changing her blank flank hating days once and for all."

In a split screen, we see Luna and Lorcan going to a restaurant in one side while Rainbow and Lulu flies on one side.

"My sister...or my sisters in Lulu's case...has been spending great time with their new loves, especially after Lorcan was revealed (long story there). And afterwards, they have a double wedding..."

We see Lula and Lulu marrying Lorcan and Rainbow Dash, kissing at their own weddings.

"...which of course confused some ponies as to whom Luna is marrying whom here. Oh well."

We see Twilight becoming an alicorn princess...then hugs Celestia as they made an announcement to some surprised ponies.

"As for my faithful suitor, she is finally ready...to become a princess herself. A week after becoming an alicorn, we finally came out with our relationship. I proposed a few months later in our relationship."

At another wedding, the two lovers smile as Celestia and Twilight kiss each other, the audience applauds as they will be together forever.

"...a few months more, we became wedding, sharing the co-rulers job with Luna, Lulu and their husband/wife."

"Celly, honey, the fillies are getting hungry!" Twilight exclaims in the present as we see Celestia writing down in a journal. Instead, we see two fillies crying, wanting something to eat.

"Just a minute, Twiley honey," Celestia giggles. The Goddess of the Sun continues her writing, "After the wedding, a special spell is discovered by beloved Twilight in the Canterlot library the enables two ponies of the same gender to have babies (in a nonsexual way). We do have our fun every now and then...but this allows us to have our own daughters Nyx and Selena."

"Celestia..."

"Got to go; my fillies are getting hungry and my beloved is getting impatient."

After Celestia is done writing, she heads over to Twilight, the two lovers kiss and smile as they tend to their little foals, the future princesses of Equestria known as Nyx, a black alicorn filly, and Selena, a red alicorn one. They have a wonderful life together. Twilight even made sure that her own friends got immortality or become alicorns themselves so that the magic of friendship and love can be together.

And to think, it all started on a simple dare from Luna that day not so long ago.
