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?

[friendyousohard]

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

[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.

[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]

(Aww, you're so adorable when you're embarrassed, Twi.)

Well yes, but I think we should worry about that when the time comes, whenever that may be. Right now, things are exactly as they should be.

I hope they've all been going just as well for you, Twi.

[friendyousohard]

[She knew you were doing it on purpose!]

Er... Well, they could definitely be worse! I mean... I'm sure you can see the main problem I have right now.

[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.)

[thesunislaw]

Quite the interesting song...

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

[loveisabattlefield]

I can, but I wasn't sure how to bring it up; it's...a new look for you; I like it, but how did it happen?

[armore]

[He laughs a little.]

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

[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?

[friendyousohard]

[She giggles, just a bit.] You know, Cadence, only you would be polite enough to completely avoid talking about me undergoing a species change.

It's the game I went to. Only humans can be Pokemon trainers, for some reason, so when I arrived I'd been transformed like this.

You would not believe how hard it was to figure out just how to walk.

[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've been looking past it; pony or no pony, you're still the same Twilight I love.

It must've been terribly difficult. Only two legs? And what happened to the other two? I've never heard of a "pokemon" before, but I hope whatever that is isn't giving you trouble.

[loveisabattlefield]

Then you're saying I have no taste?

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

[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.

[friendyousohard]

[Dangit Cadence stop making her blush!] Well... thanks for that.

The other two became arms. [She wiggles her fingers at Cadence.] I have to admit, as much as I miss my old body, these are pretty useful.

And no, actually the Pokemon are probably the best part of that world, and of course they're the reason my mun sent me there. They're basically animals with a great deal of power, instinctual urges to use it, and a sort of symbiotic relationship with the humans who catch them and bring them along, called "trainers". There are also "breeders", who... well I guess that's kind of obvious, huh?

[armore]

Well I don't know if I'd go that far...

[He nuzzles back happily]

[loveisabattlefield]

(But it's so much fun~)

Oh, so they're like Spike's claws! That makes much more sense.

So it's more of a tradeoff than simply taking everything from you? That actually sounds very nice. I'm sure you already have a great team of them, don't you? After all, you're making friends very easily.

[loveisabattlefield]

I know I'll go anywhere you want to go.

[friendyousohard]

Well, I do have three pretty great ones...

Would you like to meet them?
