Days passed with spike trying to find proof to no avail. He was about to give up when Twilight came to him. "Spike, do you think the others are acting wired?"
"Weird how?"
"Well I heard the weather pony's complaining because rainbow dash hasn't been showing up. Rarity hasn't made a new dress. Pinky hasn't thrown any party's. I'm pretty sure I saw Angel throwing a fit and Flutter Shy was ignoring him. And Apple Bloom told me Big Mac's working himself to the ground because Apple Jack hasn't been showing up to do her part in buckin."
"You know you haven't been doing your job either and I'm telling you for the last time it's something to do with those new ponies." Spike said.
"I…" she started before hanging her head. "I think you might be right." She said softly sounding like she hated herself for saying it.
"What?"
"I think your right." She said louder. "There's no other explanation for everyone's sudden change."
"Well. What are we going to do?"
"First I have to find out what there up to. And I can't let them know."
His went on for weeks but between the two of them they couldn't find any evidence. Twilight and spike searched for a spell that might help but they keep coming up short. And then it happened the stallions proposed to the main six playing her part twilight accepted along with the other mares. The wedding was only a week away and twilight and spike where keep away from each other by the main six and the stallions.
Spike was left to search by himself. He needed a break with only a day till the wedding he had barely sleep and the words on the pages started to blur together. He needed a fresh pair of eye's to look at the problem and seeming as every pony in town loved the Stallions he could only think of one person to help Zecora. He walked into the ever free forest witch had receded slightly scene the elements of harmony had been returned to the tree. He finally got to her hut.
"Who is it at my door, let them be outside no more." She said from inside. "Ahh little Spike, had you decided to take a hike?" she asked after he closed the door.
"Actually I came to ask you advice." He said. She nodded her head and motioned him to take a seat and tell her his story. He told her everything.
"It seems like you are in a pickle and things like this can be quiet fickle." She said contemplating everything spike had told her. "But it just might be I have a potion, which will help set things in motion." She started throwing ever free flowers into her cauldron. "You must not use this to soon just an hour before he says I do." She said pushing a very small vile to him.
"What do I do? Make sure he drinks it?" spike asked to which she nodded. "Thank you Zecora." He said before leaving.
It was almost time for the wedding and spike was going to be the ring bearer for the group wedding. He was getting ready when Cotton Candy commanded spike to get him drink. Spike ground his teeth but did as he was asked. Slipping Zecora's potion into his water. Cotton Candy didn't seem to notice anything different and Spike whipped the sweat off of his brow. Things proceeded as planned, it was right after the Mayor asked if any pony had objections. Cotton candy fell to the ground with a groan he moaned in pain as everyone gathered round. Slowly his main leached from pink to blue and his coat from blue to black. He grew tattered wings and a gnarled horn. He leap up and spun to face spike. "What did you do?!" his voice had taken on an echoing quality. "How where you able to see through us!" he demanded.
Twilight cast a shield around spike "the better question is what do you think you're doing here Changeling! Didn't Chrysalis tell you what happened when she tried this?"
He spun to face twilight, the other stallions having already changed. "Oh Mommy Dearest told me everything. How you ruined her plans. How something as pathetic as love was able to beat her." He raised Twilights chin with his hoof. "It ruined her you know. Losing like that. She's a mess. I figured that if I took you down she might get better."
"It will never happen." Twilight told him. Both of them cast a spell at the same time. He started to win until light literally shot from the castle walls enveloping the main six, turning them once again into the elements of harmony. It was easy enough to overcome his magic after that she stood over him. "Tell your mother, tell every Changeling you meet. Equestria will never fall to you as long as there is love and friendship." She cast another spell and sent the changelings flying.
The girls shook there head's as if coming out of a haze. "I can't believe we fell for them." Rarity said staring at her hoofs.
"Even I fell for it." Twilight told them. "Spikes the only one who saw through it." She said pulling spike close. "and I couldn't be more thankful."
