Twilight Gets a Puppy
Season 2
By TDR
A Claw-terlot Wedding,
Part 1, Part 2,
and a three and a four five......
[Canterlot]
“So where is Cadence any way?”Twilight asked, one hoof rubbing Rahs' back as he whimpered beneath his coat.
“Well I'm supposed to be meeting her for lunch before too long.” Shining smirked.” You two wanna tag along?”
“Sure if it's not a problem. I doubt Rahs is in any condition to do so though.” Twilight considered. “Maybe I can get Cadence to let him eat a few of her spells, the boost might help you out too.”
“Maybe, though...” Shining sighed rubbing the back of his head with a hoof. “ I'd like to get you two talking first before you ask anything of her.”
“Huh?” Twilight blinked. “Why would she have a problem helping out?”
“She's kinda mad at you two actually.” Shining muttered. “ Only really found out about it this morning, but it seems some pony told her you were behind the stuff with Blueblood's date.”
“Shining!”
“Hey it wasn't me, heck it's been a few months too and she's been hiding it pretty well. It does explain why she's not wanted to go down to Ponyville lately though.” Shining placated. “ She just mentioned it over breakfast this morning.”
“Great. An unexpected side effect of helping Prince out.” Twilight sighed. “Still she should understand we were helping him, if I can explain that we should be fine. I'd rather smooth this over before the wedding. There's enough stress as it is.”
“No kidding, though that is why I invited you to lunch, hopefully this can all be resolved.” Shining sighed.
“Really if you were going to lunch with your sister I'll just head home then.”
Twilight, Rahs, and Shining Armor looked up as a pink alicorn approached. Cadence glared at Rahs and Twilight, the scowl she wore when she met their eyes was an odd expression to see on her face. Twilight couldn't remember ever seeing the like, not even when she raided the cookie jar as a filly.
“Cady come on....” Shining rolled his eyes.
“Oh no, don't you 'come on' me.” Cadence snapped back.”I've been trying for years to get you to stop being mad at your parents and you ignore me, so don't expect me to suddenly be all happy with those two because you want me too.”
“Wait, what?” Twilight stammered looking at the pair then to Rahs who also tried to look confused and innocent at the same time. ”Why are you mad at us?”
Cadence whirled on them, her face inches from Twilight's as she scowled, her green eyes glaring at the smaller unicorn.
“Gee I don't know Twilight could it have something to do with my being set on fire and rolled out of town in a hay cart? Or maybe the exploding bees? “Cadence snapped. “Do you have any idea how long it took me to get my fur back to normal?”
“Wha... huh?!?” Twilight stammered as Cadence pulled away trotting off back towards Shining.
“You're lucky I let any of you even come to the wedding after all that.” Cadence sneered. “ Tell your friends I'll stop by later to see how they've progressed and I'll decide if I should use the others I hired instead.”
She started trotting off glancing back to Shining.
“Are you coming?” she asked flatly before walking off again.
“Sorry.” Shining Armor muttered before trotting after his fiancee.
[ Later ]
Rahs groaned from where he lay face down on the floor in the corner of the kitchen a wet rag covering his head only allowing his nose to poke out as Twilight finished talking about the encounter to the Applejack, Big Mac, Applebloom, Rainbow Dash, Scootalloo,and Spike.
The three former were running around the kitchen working with a couple of other chefs to get the food prepared. The latter two were goofing off and playing with the cake toppers, Rainbow Dash was using Rahs a pillow and partially napping on his back while staying out of the way.
“Whoooa nelly. If she's that onry about it, ah don't like tha idea she might come in here.” Applejack grumbled checking on the ice sculpture. “We jus about got everything ready....”
The door to the kitchen opened suddenly and a surly looking Heart Guard strode in. The occupants of the kitchen all froze and watched him as his green eyes scanned the room briefly before he hoofed a scroll to the nearest chef and stormed out again.
The earth pony chef who had been given the scroll frowned noting the royal seal, before she opened the scroll reading it. As she finished she threw it into the air and screamed before falling over onto her back.
Rahs held up a card without moving much that said 7.
“That ain't good.” Applebloom frowned.
“New orders, she wants everything in chocolate and strawberry instead of vanilla.” The screaming chef shouted as she buried her head in her hooves.
“Chocolate and strawberry!?!” Applebloom gasped.”We already finished everything in strawberry and vanilla. It's gonna take us a whole nother day tah get all that changed.”
“Alright..... best git to it ah guess.” Applejack sighed picking up the note. “She wants tha ice sculpture tah be a solid pair of hearts now too.”
“Ah'll get another block of ice.” Big Mac sighed.
“This is ridiculous.” Twilight sighed. “This isn't like Cadence at all.”
“Ehh what can we do, it's her wedding and she's paying well.” A chef called out in response.” she's not the worst I've dealt with.”
“I'll go talk to her.” Rainbow Dash huffed rolling off Rahs to her hooves. “It was my date she was gonna screw with so I can tell her to get over herself without any issues. You wanna come along squirt, beats sitting here playing with dolls.”
“Action figures!” Spike and Scootaloo both protested as Dash laughed.
“Dash be nice. “ Twilight warned.” She's justified in being mad.”
“Yeah well so am I. You guys kept her and Princess Celestia from sticking their nose were it didn't belong. Worst case she tells me I can't do the rain boom for the wedding, and that's her loss not mine.”Rainbow Dash shrugged.
“Hold up a second Dash.” Spike shouted dropping the Shining Armor cake topper on the counter. “ Did you have your Element with you?”
“Huh? Yeah I packed it up in my luggage. Turns out that thing works better than Prince's status to get us into places and out of trouble, I always carry it around.” Dash stated.
“Rahs?” Spike asked looking over at his brother who nodded lightly.
“Wait why do you have my Element?” Twilight demanded glaring at her brother as he took the tiara out of his coat.
“Woof.” Rahs offered before he sneezed.
“That... okay that's not a bad reason. No one would suspect you of having it.”Twilight frowned.
“Plus with our track record it's better to keep those things close.” Spike pointed out.
“Good point we might need them.” Twilight nodded.
“Fraid ah didn't bring mine, wasn't thinking about it. “Applejack frowned. “ Dash you think you ken pop back tah tha farm and ask Granny tah git it fer me?”
“Huh? Yeah I guess. Probably should ask the others if they have theirs to.” Rainbow Dash considered.
“I got mine!” Pinkie Pie shouted popping out of a drawer and pulling the element of Laughter out of her mane to show them before dropping back into the drawer again.
“Oookay. Check with Fluttershy and Rarity before you go then. With this supposed invasion we might need them.” Twilight offered, ignoring what she just saw.
“Right I can do that.” Dash nodded before trotting out of the kitchen with Scootaloo in tow.
Twilight watched Dash leave before smiling.” Nice work Spike, she might forget all about fussing at Cadence by the time she gets back. At the very least I can warn Cadence she's coming.”
“I have my moments. Besides if there really is an attack better to have them if need be.” Spike smiled.
None of them noticed that a chef with green eyes had been watching them and listening to their plans as he mixed a new batch of fondant.
Now you're thinking with spies
Huh... so, it seems in this version Cadance wasn't replaced by Chrysalis. Interesting.
9587359
I wouldn't go that far...
another chapter yea,
hmmmmm i think cady would be slight mad at first but would understand after talking it over with twilight about the date.
9587359
I think she was, cause she has PURPLE eyes, not green ones. I suspect green eyes is how the author is 'revealing' who is a changling. Besides, this Twilight isn't stupid, and would be far more suspicious of the 'Cadance' acting like she did in the show.
Another lovely chapter though, I can't wait to see what shenanigans the group gets up to so they can screw with the changlings.
9587402
oooh, yeah, I missed that part. Only noticed the green eyes in the chef at the end.
Ok, so in this version Chryssie made sure to do her homework. Cool. And I'm pretty sure Rah's sickness has something to do with it, as he can't smell her now.
I kind of wonder what the effect of the Elements would do to the changelings. Unlike Discord or Nightmare Moon, there is no corruption nor impurity exist in them from the start. Blast them with rainbow canon is the same as fire it at regular ponies.
Wow, it’s still amazing that this story is at the same time more fantastical and more logical then the show. Sometimes.
Ornery or orn'ry if you're trying to bring an accent across.
9587557
I've always wondered if they can see the glow or if the animators just put that in so that we can tell magic is happening, kinda like how in shows when it's pitch black we can still see stuff.
I expected at least one character to let out a singular loud laugh at this statement coming from the "Princess of Love."
He’s evil and that proves it! Fondant is the most vile and awful dessert topping in the universe! Everyone knows buttercream is the best!
9587961
Fondant is basically changeling slime anyway
Ok am I the only one facehoofing at them not calling out cadences eye colour when she has blue eyes
9587961
Hehe dude that's exactly why pinkie would say as well
Huh. I'm in two minds here. Cadance has genuine reason for grievance, the Sparkles get away with murder, so the author could be chucking a curveball and she's just monitored rather than replaced. Nice build-up chapter.
I wonder how many seasons he’s going to write
9590380
gonna try for the full set
9590403
I should keep you busy for the next three years XD
9590914
i dunno season 3 is short... might get it in two and a half.
Chysalis. Do you not understand the FULL implications of a PISSED OFF FLAMING UNICORN KICKING YOUR BUGGY ASS!?

9590914
Just....this whole conversation is lol!
UPDATES
My money is on Chrysalis firing a giant magic beam at rahs only for it to be completely absorbed and healing him of his cold plus making him more than a match for Chrysalis
9595982
Chrysalis already knows he eats magic....
Magnificent hiding in plain sight plus walking in first row. Impressiv Changelings are impressive ♡
Clever... High gamble but its all or nothing at this point...
And TGaP Rainbow Dash is now Best Dash.
Chrysalis knows the best way to keep them away and distracted as to keep them busy and exhausted. Solid plan to keep them from being in peek condition.
Guess if the pay is great we keep our efforts coming.
I was pretty mutch the same until I wanted a small raise for my work effort. Got instead a 'your fired'.
Life can be very complicated at times while being very simple at others.
