In response to the royal wedding

[magicalrealist]

A two-parter that didn't need the Elements of Harmony...well, that's not too bad of a change; Shining and Cadence were so beautiful and happy together.

I'm just glad that they can now be happy together...and I have a big sister now! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! (Bounding around happily.)

Twi. Thanks. Again.

[magicalrealist]

You know I'll always be here for you, Shining. You really do deserve the best.

(And Twilight's calmed herself down enough for that hug only a little sister can give.)

[shine_on_armor]

I've already got the best. The best little sister and the best wife.

[magicalrealist]

And hopefully, the best sendoff my friends and I could give you.

[shine_on_armor]

I got to hear you sing, little sis. That automatically makes it the best.

[magicalrealist]

It couldn't have been a personal sendoff if I didn't sing for you...but I'm glad things worked out for you...for the best.

[shine_on_armor]

Thanks, little sister. I hope your wedding goes well, too.

[magicalrealist]

Let's...worry about that when the time comes. The spotlight's still yours and Cadence's, after all.

[shine_on_armor]

I wish it wasn't. I just want to enjoy my honeymoon somewhere quiet. Besides, Cadence still needs some time to recover after being trapped in the caves.

[magicalrealist]

You two will get that peace in due time.

I'll at least try to get you some of that; those caves are...really unnerving.

[shine_on_armor]

Yeah.

What I want to know is how the Changeling Queen even got to Canterlot. Threats against Equestria have really been piling up lately.

[magicalrealist]

Probably the same way she manipulated everyone: disguising herself as Cadence while imprisoning the real one.

I have no idea why everypony is so interested in attacking Equestria, but at least we've done away with all of the ones we have so far.

By the way, that last spell you and Cadence did...what was that? Well, I know it was the barrier spell to keep the changelings away, but that's the power of love, isn't it?

[shine_on_armor]

I think so. I really have no idea how we managed to do it. It just sort of... happened.

[magicalrealist]

That sounds close enough like love. I knew you were capable of great things, but I don't think that's something even I can simulate.

[shine_on_armor]

Maybe some day, Twily.

Hopefully not for a while, though.

[magicalrealist]

Not for a long time. Especially not while you and Cadence will still get all of that praise and congratulations.

[shine_on_armor]

Well hopefully you have a wedding just like mine.

Minus the evil shape-shifters.

[magicalrealist]

Hopefully, the worst I'll have to worry about is planning the entire thing to be perfect. There's nothing wrong with a bride planning her own wedding to the teeth, right?

[shine_on_armor]

No, but you should have the groom help you. This might have not happened if I had been able to help Cadence...

[magicalrealist]

You were understandably busy, and that was before the Changeling Queen.

You were great, Big Brother. Really, you were.

[shine_on_armor]

So were you, Twilight.

*Nuzzle!*

So... You're a Duchess now. How's it feel?

[magicalrealist]

*Happy nuzzles!*

It's not too bad, I guess; it gives me another reason to spend more time in Canterlot, at least!

[shine_on_armor]

Well, don't forget to pay me a visit more often.

I'll make sure I do the same.

[magicalrealist]

You know I will!

And I'm looking forward to it.

[shine_on_armor]

Love you, kid.

[magicalrealist]

Love you too, Shining.
