Hi and welcome to book two. I recommend reading book one first (book one being My Little Pony : A New Life).

Disclaimer : My Little Pony is owned by Hasbro. I only own the story, my OC, and book one.


3rd person POV

It has been three months since the holders of the elements came back to Equestria. It was plenty of time for Micheal to think about his plan on how to get his revenge. He was sure that his plan was going to work. All he needed was a portal to Equestria, something quite hard to find. But he stumbled upon one by pure and sheer luck, or bad luck if you were one of the holders of the elements. He went through it, and his plan started...


Shadow's POV

I woke up sweating. I pushed the sheets aside, like I always did when I woke up sweating. I looked at my side, only to see emptiness. Twilight was probably pacing around in the main room of the library, since our wedding was only in three days. All the organization and preparation was complete. I got up, and shivered. I looked around and saw that the door to the balcony was open. I went outside, and I saw Twilight stargazing. I went to her and hugged her. "I don't know." she said. "You don't know what?" I asked, puzzled. "I don't know if I will be able to last until our wedding." she told me. I felt her shiver. She then exited my arms and started going back inside. As she was back in, she used the transformation spell on her, turning back into a pony. "What about me?" I said, gesturing with my hands at my human body. Twilight then used the spell on me, and I felt the now familiar feeling of hooves and standing on four legs. "Don't worry, my little star, everything will be fine. I'm pretty sure Cadance and Shining Armor can prepare a wedding as grandiose as the one you organized for them." I told her, trying my best to comfort her. Which seemed to work. "It is late, and I don't want to be too tired for tomorrow." I said as I went back in bed, shortly followed by Twilight. She snuggled against me, and I passed my hoof around her. We slept through the rest of the night like that.

In the morning, Spike came and woke us up in the worst way possible : with a blow horn. Twilight and I jumped out of bed, and we landed in front of him. He laughed at our reaction, making Twilight slightly ticked at his behavior. "Sorry Twilight, but it was Cadance and Shining Armor's idea." Sipke excused himself. "Oh, really?" Twilight said as she started gathering energy in her horn. As she was ready to shoot, Cadance came in the room. "Sorry Twilight, but we had no other choice. The two of you were impossible to wake up." Cadance said, confirming what Spike told us. "Still a little brutal." I said, putting my glasses on.


After we had a good breakfast prepared by Cadance, Twilight and I went to the town square to meet with Rarity and Shining Armor. As soon as we arrived, Rarity took Twilight with her and went to her Boutique. Leaving me with Shining Armor. "I hope you will be treating my sister with respect. " he said. "Don't worry, Shining Armor." I told him. "What is today's plan?" "Well, I need to keep you as far away from my sister as possible." he said with seriousness. "To do so, I will bring you to Canterlot, and you will have to stay there until the wedding." I almost facehoofed.

And like he said, he got me to Canterlot. And he got Luna to make sure I would not try to go back to Ponyville. Which meant I was stuck in Canterlot for three days.


Once the day of the wedding arrived, I almost ran through the door of the suite I was sleeping in. I couldn't wait to see Twilight. But as soon as I got out of the suite, I bumped in Shining Armor and Rainbow Dash. "What now?" I asked, exasperated. "You still need to wait five more hours." Shining Armor told me. But I still tried to fly away, only to get bitten on the tail by Rainbow. "Whoa there, loverboy." she said, my tail still between her teeth. "Let go and I will stay put." I told her. "No way." she said flatly.

After the five hours, I finally got out of the suite, but only to be escorted by Shining Armor and Rainbow to the grooming room, in which waited Rarity and a tuxedo. "This won't end well." I said to myself loud enough that they all heard.


After Rarity managed to put the tuxedo on me, with the help of Rainbow and Shining Armor, I was guided to the room in which the wedding was planned. I waited, getting more and more nervous. Twilight's parents were there, looking intently at me, judging if I was good enough for their daughter. Then, Celestia came in, followed by Luna. Luna took a place beside Twilight's parents, while Celestia went to the front of the room, close to where I was.

The music then started. The CMC came in, throwing flowers on the carpet, followed by Cadance, who came and standed beside Shining Armor. Then Twilight came in. When I saw her, my heart stopped beating. She was magnificent. Her dress was the color of the night, with small sparkling dots all over it, representing the stars. She walked slowly toward the front. Once she was at me side, I smiled, feeling much better now that she was there with me. Celestia then started the ceremony. "Fillies and gentlecolts, we are gathered here to unite two ponies destinies."


Once the ceremony was over, the party started. We all danced and played for a long time, until came the moment Twilight and I had to leave. We got in the chariot, and went back to Ponyville. During the trip, we spoke of our future. "I want to have children." she told me, smiling. "Me too." I simply answered, my mind somewhere else. "Something is bothering you. What is it?" she asked me. "I don't think Celestia will be able to control THOSE ponies." I said, gesturing down the road.

When we came to their level, we saw they had forks and torches. "What is an angry mob doing here?" I said a little too loud. "We are here to overthrow Celestia. And we are not afraid to start a war if we must." the leader of the mob told me.

When we arrived in Ponyville, I had a sudden realization. "Twilight, we are in deep trouble." I said. "Why?" she asked, confused. "Michael is here." I simply said.
