A slightly confused Cadence

[loveisabattlefield]

Pat Benetar...? Please forgive me, mun; I don't understand the reference.

But I do understand that love is worth fighting for...oh, it's a song? Would you perhaps sing it to me?

(She giggles...and is then presented with this.)

Hmm...it is like a battlefield, isn't it? It shouldn't be too difficult of a battle anymore; as long as I'm with my love, Shining Armor, I know everything will be alright...well of course I would love to be with Twilight and her friends, too! I owe them so much for bringing me and Shining the happiest moment in our lives~

[laughs]

Certainly did feel like one durin' that wedding right Princess?

[loveisabattlefield]

It certainly did, Applejack. I'm so very thankful you and the others were there; it wasn't a battle I would've been able to win on my own.

[friendyousohard]

Huh. Maybe I should've sung that at the reception instead.

[loveisabattlefield]

Hearing you sing at all was something I'll always remember, little sister. I think I prefer what you sang since it was from your own heart and not Ms. Benetar's.

[friendyousohard]

[Just the slightest flush there.]

Thanks, Cadence. Honestly, I spent the whole time thinking I was about to flop either way, so I'm just glad I managed to get through it okay.

[loveisabattlefield]

You were much more than okay, Twilight; you were wonderful. You have a very lovely voice.

[friendyousohard]

Ah... You're flattering me. [She rubs the back of her head, adorkably embarrassed and pleased.]

Seriously, though. As oddly appropriate as the song is, the point is we all got through it okay, and things are back to normal now.

... You know, until the next world-ending threat rolls around.

[armore]

Sweetheart! It's really good to see you - you don't seem to be here, much.

[loveisabattlefield]

Shining! I'm so happy to see you, too.

...I don't? Maybe you're the more popular one of us; you're such a handsome stallion, after all.

(Giggles.)

[armore]

[He laughs a little.]

Anyone who prefers me to you clearly doesn't have any taste.

[loveisabattlefield]

Then you're saying I have no taste?

(Totally teasing you, Shining. And she's also nuzzling up against you.)

[thesunislaw]

Quite the interesting song...

But nonetheless, Twilight and her friends never fail to disappoint, do they?

[loveisabattlefield]

I've never heard it before, but it's definitely interesting.

You're absolutely right about that, auntie! I'm so glad they were there to make things right. This wouldn't be the first time they've had to pull together to stop a greater threat, would it?

[thesunislaw]

This would be the third. First liberating my sister, second stopping Discord. Though, admittedly, most of the credit goes to you this time, my dear.

[loveisabattlefield]

(Just blushing up a bit.)

It was a combined effort between myself and Shining; our love was able to expel the changelings from Equestria.

[loveisabattlefield]

Umm...I'm not quite sure, honestly; I'm usually so involved with my songs, I don't notice the music in the background. Perhaps it's the same way with everypony?

[loveisabattlefield]

I suppose so...? Though in some cases, there are ponies in the background playing the instruments; I'm not very sure about the other times.

[shine_on_armor]

Cadence!

I'm so glad to see you.

[loveisabattlefield]

Shining, you're here...again! I'm so glad you're well...again. Does this sort of thing normally happen here?

[shine_on_armor]

[Hugs.]

Yeah. We thought it was Changelings at first but Twily helped clear it up.

[loveisabattlefield]

(Hugs~ <3 )

I'm so glad it's not another Changeling invasion; Twilight certainly has an eye for what's wrong and what's right, doesn't she?

[princess_luna]

Ah, greetings dear Cadence! We do not believe we have heard this song before, somewhat appropriate it may be.

[Might be an idea to tell her she's using the royal we again.]

Once more we must apologize for our absence, for we were occupied elsewhere.

[loveisabattlefield]

(At least it's not the Royal Canterlot Voice. Cadence isn't sure if it'd be rude to bring up the whole "we" thing, though.)

Hi aunt Luna! I've never heard this song before either, but I think I'm starting to enjoy it.

That's alright; I'm sure it must've been something very important. (Hopefully more important than sleeping through it or downing a lot of ice cream.)
