Satisfied with what he saw in the kitchen, or at least by the food he saw, Head Hunter made his way back to what he simply referred to as the 'wedding area.' When he opened the door, he was surprised to see that the entire room was covered in baloons, streamers, and confetti. There were many objects scattered around, including games like 'jacks.' 'Pin the tail on the donkey,' and other childhood party staples. While they did not fit Head Hunter's idea of what a wedding would intice, he made no comment. After all, maybe Cadence herself requested the games. It would be a comforting return to character.
Suddenly, a sight of horror greeted Head Hunter's eyes. His rifles had bows on them. He rushed over, but was stopped by a body of pink that had a large grin on it. The resmblance between Pinkie Pie and the Cheshire Cat was incredible, or at least it was to Head Hunter.
"What's the here, Murray?" She said.
"Why is... Why is there..." He sighed.
"Why is there what? Games? Cuase they're fun, silly!" She said with overflowing enthusiasm.
"Look, I know you are suppose to be the Element of Laughter, the very embodiment of happiness, but never, EVER but pink ribbon on my rifles, okay? That's not what they are there for!" He immediately set to work on removing the ugly bows from his rifles.
"Okey Dokey Lokey. But what are they used for, silly?" She nearly sang the first part.
"Hopefuly I will not have to show you." He finished tearing the ribbons when he heard the door open. He turned around. "Ah, Princess Me Amore Cadenza! Come to see how the decorations are coming?"
She walked in with a disappointing glare in her eye. "Are you in charge of the decorations?"
"Nope, I am!" Pinkie popped up again, almost out of thin air, as usual. "Do you like it? We have games, and dancing, and fun!" She said, moving over to the respected parts of the room, ending up back in front of the Cadence.
"Yea!" The Princess's fake enthusiasm wore off almost immediately. "If it where a five year old's party." She walked back out of the room.
"Well, that could have gone better." Head Hunter said when the doors closed.
"Ah, she's so grumpy! I bet it must be really, really, REALLY stressful getting married!" Pinkie said, hoping away, overly cheerful, as usual.
"I am not so sure..." He said quietly.
Suddenly, he heard the door open and close faintly. He turned around, but he saw that no one had entered. He walked over, opened the door slightly, and peeked out. He just barely caught Twilight Sparkle walking away out of the corner of his eye...
...
It was late when Head Hunter was satisfied with his rounds through the castle when he heard slightly muffed shouting through from outside. He was in the 'wedding area,' and the windows where closed, so he made a guess as to which widow was closest to the origins of the sounds and opened it. It was far below, but he could see Twilight and the other elements siting around a café table. She was shouting something about 'not being possessive,' and 'not taking' something 'out on Cadence. She then stormed off.
Head Hunter sighed, then decided that it would be best to follow her. He saw her slip into her brother's house, but as he walked in, Cadence was taking Shining Armor into a room to have a quick 'talk,' while Twilight was sulking in the middle of the room.
"Twilight, what is the matter?" He said walking over.
Surprised, she held up a hoof to her mouth in the universal symbol for 'quite,' then waved him over to the door to the room Cadence and Shining Armor went into. As he walked over, he heard what sounded like a petty couple's argument, but when he put his eye to a crack in the door, he saw that Shinning Armor suddenly started struggling, reared his head, and gained a defiant look in his eye. It was over quickly however, as Cadence muttered something about a 'head ache,' then cast a spell on the Prince. Something about the way the spell was cast click in his brain. He had seen that type of spell weaving before. He just couldn't remember where.
He heard a gasp from next to him, and Twilight whispered. "She is not grumpy or stressed at all, Tyson! She is EVIL!" The. She ran off, or rather galloped off, leaving Head Hunter starring, confused. He stepped back into the middle of the room. The Bride and Groom walked back out of the room.
"Tyson! What are you doing here? Where did twily go?" Said Shining Armor.
"I... I will, uh, I will go find her!" He stammered, then left the house himself. What the Hell is going on here?
