Spike toddled out of the castle walls that had been smashed by Tirek earlier. He was carrying the statuette of Discord on his back. He ran as fast as his canine legs could carry him out into the woods at the very edge of the Creepina kingdom. There, he allowed himself to breathe.

Spike quickly set the statuette down before changing into his dragon form. Following Airabella's instructions, he scratched at a tiny, almost unnoticeable crack in the sculpture's chest. When nothing happened, the dragon-dog became frustrated before he punched the statue, causing the entire top half to snap off and release a bright, golden light.

Discord scanned the forest below, searching for any sight of human life. He knew that his best buddy, as well as his lover cared a lot about Rachel, and he wasn't just going to let her die.

"Where are you, stupid human?" He growled, getting more and more frustrated with each passing minute. His hind-legs suddenly became numb, and said numbness continued to travel up his body. Discord craned his neck around, seeing that his entire bottom half was missing, and his upper half was slowly disappearing as well.

"Oh, poop." He cursed.

Spike was blown backwards as the golden light bounced off tree trunks and rocks before hitting the center of the forest clearing before slowing and revealing the familiar sight of the draconequus.

"Ow..." Discord groaned, holding his head, "I am getting much too old for this..."

Spike grinned, "Yes! I'm so glad it worked!"

Discord scowled at the little dragon-dog, "What is the meaning of this? I had everything under control until you had to summon me!"

Spike snorted, "Oh yeah? Where's Rachel then?"

Discord hesitated, "Fine. What do you want?"

"I wouldn't be so grumpy if I were you. Airabella sent me to summon you."

Discord hesitated again, "Wha... Really? She's still alive?" He grabbed the little dragon-dog by the shoulders, "Tell me, you mangy mutt! What sort of horrible forms of torture is that butt-face Tirek subjecting my Bella to?!"

"Whoa! Chill!" Spike exclaimed, "She's fine! At least, when I left she was. Don't worry. Look, she told me that I needed to summon you and look for Rachel. We need to make sure she's alive and in healthy condition. I'm thinking that maybe Bella's thinking that if we can find Rachel, she might just be able to snap Laughing Jack out of helping Lord Derek the Butt-Face."

"No use," Discord sighed sadly, "I've been looking for half an hour now. I haven't seen one trace of her."

"Well," Spike said with a mischievous grin as he changed back to his dog form, "You must not have any dog in that mixed-up body of your's."

The dragon-dog put his nose to the ground. He sniffed all over the clearing as well as in the air. Discord watched him with anticipation as the minutes ticked by. Finally, Spike gave a loud howl.

"I got something!" He squealed, "Quick! She's over here! I can smell blood, and that's not a good sign!"

Discord picked up the canine and took off into the bushes and trees, effortlessly dodging them. They came to a different clearing that was occupied by a different being, one that was horribly injured. Clearly, this was Rachel. She was laying in a heap, her face, arms, and legs all cut open and bleeding after being sliced by the trees in her descent. Both legs were bent at odd, unnatural angles, signaling that they were broken.

"Oh, Rachel!" Spike cried, running over to the broken teenager. He looked over her and felt her chest, "Thank Slenderman, she's still alive! Quick! Discord! Use your magic to heal her! Please!"

Calmly, Discord walked over to the teenager and kneeled down next to her broken form. Gently, he placed his claw and paw on the various parts of her body that were open and bleeding. Golden magic leaked from his claws almost like liquid that sealed the cuts and scrapes with ease. He moved to her legs, straightening the bones inside and setting them back to normal before healing the broken parts. Spike watched with anxiety as Discord put his paw to her chest.

"Spike..." The draconequus began in a depressing tone, "I don't know how to say this..."

Spike gasped, tears forming in his eyes, "No... No no no no! It can't be!"

"What? I was just going to say that she's alive." Discord replied innocently before he began cackling with delight. Spike's face turned red with anger, but his anger was averted when he heard a groan from Rachel. The teenager's eyes fluttered open. Her hand shot to her head as she groaned again. Slowly, she sat up with the help of Spike and Discord.

"Oh Rachel!" Spike squealed as he hugged Rachel around the waist.

"What... Happened?" She asked, turning to Discord.

"Tirek flung you," Discord explained, "Apparently, he found you useless and decided to get rid of you. Good thing we found you just in time."

"What about Airabella?" Rachel inquired.

A pained look crossed Discord's face, "Tirek threatened to kill King Slenderman if she didn't agree to marry him."

"And Laughing Jack?"

"Last time I saw him, he was assisting Tirek in the wedding preparations."

Rachel looked stumped, "Well... Thanks for saving me. But it looks like we got to go save the rest of Creepina as well."

"Yeah!" Spike agreed, "And give Tirek his just desserts!"

Discord summoned a pie in his paw, "Don't worry. His dessert shall be placed directly in his face."

As Rachel stood again, Discord crouched down and allowed the teenager and the dragon-dog to climb on.

"Onward!" Rachel exclaimed, "To the Creepina castle!"

Applejack and Pinkie Pie were attempting to put Airabella's makeup on. However, her constant tears made it impossible to do so, for her mascara ran with her tears.

"Princess, you gotta stop crying," Applejack said, "Look, we know you don't want to marry Tirek, but... You're doing it to keep the kingdom, and King Slenderman safe. That's mighty heroic of you."

Airabella wiped away her tears, getting a big glob of mascara smudged on her arm, "Look, just stop. I don't need makeup, I'll just go bare."

"But you wanna look super-super pretty, don't you?" Pinkie asked.

"Not for someone who's going to treat me as a trophy wife!" Airabella snapped, "At least Discord loved me for me, and not just for my power or looks!"

The two mares stared at her.

"You mean that freakshow that Princess Celestia and King Slenderman imprisoned?" Applejack asked.

Airabella sighed, "He disguised himself as Prince Daniel. Originally, I was going to marry him just so I could get out of marrying Tirek... But... We kinda fell in love. The feelings are mutual too... But then that stupid jerkface of a centaur had to ruin everything!"

In a fit of rage, Airabella pushed Applejack and Pinkie away, stomping out of her room and into the main hall. She wasn't going to take this. She would find something... Something she could use to rid herself of Tirek. Even if that meant putting poison in his wine, she would do whatever it took to stop him. However, her plans were stopped when she felt and invisible force drag her backwards and lift her into the air. Airabella was now face to face with the jerkface himself, who had luckily returned to normal size.

"And just where do you think you're going, princess?" Asked Tirek, an angry glint in his yellow and black eyes.

Airabella looked to Tirek's left side, where a certain black and white clown creature was standing there. She gulped her fear down and turned back to Tirek, "To the bathroom. Jeez, we're not even married and you're already clingy."

This got a chuckle out of Laughing Jack.

"Quiet, you fool!" Hissed Tirek, which only made Jack frown in annoyance. The centaur turned back to Airabella, slowly putting her back on the ground, "I was only making sure you weren't skipping out on me. You know what shall happen if you do..."

"Fully aware." Airabella replied. She couldn't help but wonder when Discord would be here with Spike and Rachel.

"Y'know..." Laughing Jack began, "You two don't really get along that well. Say, Lord T, why dontcha' find some other girl besides Bella here?"

Tirek glared at him, "What other girl could I possibly marry? Marrying the princess of Creepina will make me the prince of Creepina. And since I'm already more powerful than King Slenderman with you by my side..." He chuckled, "You could just go ahead and crown me the king."

Jack rolled his eyes, "Yeah. As if Creepina would ever accept you as their king."

"Silence!" The centaur roared. He pointed at Airabella accusingly, "You! I want you in the throne room at noon today, for we shall be wedded there! If you do not show, your father shall die! Are we clear, princess?"

Airabella reluctantly nodded, "Yes," She coughed and managed to stick the words "Lord Butt-Ugly" in between her cough. Tirek luckily didn't notice it as he calmly trotted away.

Jack sighed in aggravation, "Stupid face."

Airabella calmly put her hand on the clown's shoulder, "Thank you for the effort, Jack. It means a lot that you tried."

Jack smiled, showing off his sharp teeth, "Anything for a friend. Just wish I could do more..."

The clown disappeared in a flash of light, leaving Airabella by herself. She began to smile evilly.

Don't worry. I've got it all under control...

"There it is..."

Discord now hovered directly over Creepina castle with Rachel and Spike on his back.

"Great," Rachel said, "Now how do we get in?"

"Easy," Discord replied, a mischievous smile crossing his face, "First, we have to find Jack's lamp, so we can free him from Tirek. Then... We crash a wedding..."

"Well duh... Spike could have thought of that." Rachel rolled her eyes. Spike was about to object, but the teenager playfully punched him in tha shoulder, "You know I'm just kidding!"

Discord dove down, towards one of the windows. He carefully surveyed the room before quietly slithering in with Rachel and Spike on his back. He stood up, allowing the teenager and the dragon-dog to climb off of him.

"This is the room that Sunset was staying in," Discord explained, "Jack's box has to be here-"

"Found it!" Spike interrupted, holding up the Jack-in-a-box. However, they all gasped when the room's door slammed open. Standing there was a shellshocked Sunset Shimmer.

The organ began to play the familiar tune of Here Comes the Bride as Airabella stood right outside of the throne room doors with her father at her side. As the guards opened the doors, Airabella linked her arm into her father's own as he walked her down the isle. No one was there except for the guards, herself, her father, and Tirek, who stood at the end of the isle with a young boy known as BEN.

"I'm so sorry, my daughter," Slenderman spoke quietly, "I'm sorry that I forced you into this. None of this would have happened if I hadn't forced you to marry Tirek."

Airabella hadn't heard a sincere apology from her father since... Well, forever. She knew it wasn't fake, "It's not your fault, father. Okay, maybe it is a little, but you didn't know that Tirek was a power-hungry tyrant until it was too late."

Slenderman shook his head sorrily, clearly very disappointed with himself, "No, this is all my fault. Daughter, if we get out of this alive, I promise I shall treat you as another living creature, instead of an opportunity to make peace with other kingdoms..."

Airabella could sense the sadness in his voice. She looked over at the familiar, pale-faced teenager, who winked at her. She winked back before anyone could notice.

"Don't worry," Airabella assured, "I'm going to make everything right..."

"Hey!" She snarled, "What do you think you're-?! EEP!"

The orange mare was cut off when something sticky wrapped around her and stuck her to the wall. She looked down, discovering she was imprisoned in a long coil of strawberry taffy. The unicorn was about to scream for help, but another strand of taffy wrapped around her mouth and gagged her, silencing her for good.

"Ah taffy..." Sighed Discord, "Where would we be without you?"

Spike harshly poked Rachel, "Quick! Play the box!"

With no hesitation, Rachel began winding the crank on the box as fast as she possibly could.

"Do you, Prince Tirek, take Princess Airabella to be your lawfully wedded wife?" BEN spoke, reading from an article online.

The centaur smiled smugly, staring at his soon-to-be wife who was currently hidden by her veil, "I do."

"And do you, Princess Airabella, take Prince Tirek to be your lawfully wedded husband?" BEN continued.

"I do." Airabella replied with no hesitation. Tirek noticed that her voice sounded a little off.

"Then by the power invested in me, and this online course to become a pastor," BEN continued, "I now pronouce you centaur and uh... Half-Slenderman... Woman... Thingy..."

Tirek went to remove Airabella's veil, expecting to see her blue-gray eyes hidden behind black-rimmed glasses. Instead, he was greeted with the hideous sight of a pale face, pure white eyes, and a torn-open mouth.

"Hiya, big boy!" Jeff the Killer laughed, "Come give your wifey a kiss!"

Tirek immediately blasted the killer with magic. His rage boiled as he searched the throne room.

"WHERE IS THE PRINCESS?! JACK! JACK!" Tirek turned to where Laughing Jack was supposed to be standing, only to find him missing. However, his head turned when he heard the throne room's doors slam open. Standing there was Airabella, Rachel, Discord, Laughing Jack, and Spike, all in a battle stance and ready to fight. Airabella took a step foward, putting her hands on her hips in a way that expressed her sassy attitude.

"Looking for me, Butt-Face?"
