This day is going to be perfect, the kind of day of which I dreamed since I was small, Everypony will gather 'round, Say I look lovely in my gown, what they don't know is that I have fooled them all.
This day was going to be perfect the kind of day of which I dreamed since I was small, But instead of having cake, with all my friends to celebrate my wedding bells, they may not ring for me at all.
I could care less about the dress, I won't partake in any cake. Vows? Well, I'll be lying when I say "That through any kind of weather I'll want us to be together" The truth is I don't care for him at all, no, I do not love the groom, In my heart there is no room, But I still want him to be all mine!
We must escape before it's too late Find a way to save the day, Hope I'll be lying if I say "I don't fear that I may lose him to the one who wants to use him not care for love and cherish him each day", For I oh-so love the groom All my thoughts he does consume, oh, Shining Armour, I'll be there very soon
Finally the moment has arrived For oh me to be one lucky bride
Oh, the wedding we won't make He'll end up marrying a fake—Shining Armour will be
Mine.
All mine.
Elise always blasts this song out loud...

Hello everyone! I have an idea for a what-if in the Mlp g4 world during the canterlot wedding episodes. So here you go: (please credit me if you make a fanfic out of it, and collab with me because there’s more to this au than just the song. Please and thank you.)
Queen Chrysalis]
This day is going to be perfect
The kind of day of which I've dreamed since I was small
Everypony will gather 'round
Say I look lovely in my gown
What they don't know is that I have unfortunately fooled them all
[Princess Cadance]
This day was going to be perfect
The kind of day of which I've dreamed since I was small
But instead of having cake
With all my friends to celebrate
My wedding bells, they may not ring for me at all
Chrysalis]
I want to care more about the dress
I want to at least have a one slice of cake
Vows, well I won’t be lying when I say
"That through any kind of weather
I'll want us to be together"
The truth is I truly care for him for he has melted my ice-cold heart
Yes I do love the groom
In my heart I guess there was some room
But I still want him to be all mine
[Cadance]
We must escape before it's too late
Find a way to save the day
Hope, I'll be lying if I say
"I don't fear that I may lose him
To one who wants to use him
Not care for, love, and cherish him each day"
For I oh so love the groom
All my thoughts he does consume
Oh, Shining Armor, I'll be there very soon
[Chrysalis]
Finally the moment has arrived
For me to be one lucky bride
Cadance]
Oh, the wedding we won't make
He'll end up marrying a fake
Shining Armor will be...
[Chrysalis]
...mine, all mine

This Day Aria - Songfic🐰
Dragon's Note: I have to watch this show again, it's been way too long-
Description: Forced to work with his worst enemy and two teenage girls, Bunny must save the love of his life from being permanently lost to despair.
Song: This Day Aria - My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (A Canterlot Wedding Part 2)
Setting: Danganronpa Universe - Despair/Revenge Arc
Series: Ultimate Cuteness
After trying and failing to convince Haruki to abandon his despair, the building began to cave in as the now deceased Haiji's Big Bang Monokuma appeared outside.
Monaca took Haruki's hand and guided him to the elevator. Bunny tried to go after them, but Komaru and Mizuki were forced to pull him outside to avoid getting trapped.
The last thing he saw before he left was Haruki waving at him from the elevator, smiling at him like a psychopath as the elevator went down.
Haruki waited in his room as the Warriors of Hope set up the ceremony. As he put his outfit together, he took a look in the mirror and grinned.
This day is going to be perfect
The kind of day of which I dreamed since I was small
Everypony will gather 'round, say I look lovely in my gown
What they don't know is that I have fooled them all...
Finally, the day had arrived. It was time for Haruki to take Junko Enoshima's throne and claim his spot as her successor. A new Ultimate Despair would rise, and the children would finally be freed from the demons.
He opened his closet door to reveal his collection; adults he had turned into plush toys using his power. They cried and begged for mercy, but Haruki only laughed and taunted them.
It was even better that four new friends would be joining them soon.
This day was going to be perfect
The kind of day of which I dreamed since I was small
But instead of having cake, with all my friends to celebrate
My wedding bells, they may not ring for me at all...
Things were supposed to be different. Bunny was supposed to find Haruki in his lab, confess his feelings, and the two of them would have their happily ever after. He had it all planned out, too.
But instead, Junko waltzed in and pulled Haruki down to despair. She took away the one thing, the one person, who made him feel alive, and now, he was sure he lost him for good.
Bunny wasn't even paying attention as his teammates were talking about the Big Bang Monokuma, and the monster Junko had turned Haruki into. He fell down to his knees in a despair of his own, and his vision flooded with tears as the others rushed to his side.
There was nothing he could do. Haruki wouldn't listen to him, even if he did manage to find him again. He was too late to save him the first time, and now, he was going to pay the price.
I could care less about the dress
I won't partake in any cake
Vows? Well, I'll be lying when I say
"That through any kind of weather, I want us to be together"
The truth is, I don't care for him at all
Meanwhile, in the afterlife, Junko was watching everything with a wide grin. Things were going exactly as she wanted. Not only was she going to have a successor, the only ones who were still fighting were on the brink of despair as well.
Junko watched Haruki get ready for the ceremony with a smile, proud of what she created. She managed to get the sunshine boy of Hope's Peak Academy to fall to despair, and all it took was a sad little video about his grandmother. Pathetic.
Not only that, but he rejected the ones who truly wanted to help him, only because of Junko. He was holding onto the naive belief that she still loved him, when she never cared about him from the start.
No, I do not love the groom
In my heart, there is no room
But I still want him to be all mine!
Alongside causing him to descend into despair, she tricked him into believing they were in love; not just to secure his trust, but to make the one who did love him fall to despair.
In reality, her heart had no room for love. And thanks to her, his heart didn't, either. He was just her little white rabbit, a puppet for her to use.
But at the same time, watching him trying his absolute best for her made her excited. Even in that state, he was still so adorable.
She may not have loved him, but she was going to hold onto him, even from the afterlife. She refused to let her perfect puppet be taken away from her.
We must escape before it's too late
Find a way to save the day
Hope I'll be lying when I say
"I don't fear that I may lose him
To the one who wants to use him
Not care for, love and cherish him each day"
Meanwhile, the Big Bang Monokuma appeared, and Toko and Komaru became distracted with fighting it. Bunny was still in despair, and of all people, Mizuki was the one who needed to get him back on his feet.
Neither Toko or Komaru could get through to him, but here he was, taking encouragement from the one he despised so much. Honestly, it was embarrassing. But as much as he hated to admit it, she was right.
Bunny wiped away the tears and stood back up. He may have been too late the first time, but it wouldn't happen again. This time, he was going to save the love of his life and heal the pain that caused him to break. He refused to lose his precious sunshine to some bitch who only wanted to use him.
Mizuki lifted up the collapsed doorframe with her strength, and the two of them went back inside. As they approached the elevator, she asked if he was sure he wanted to continue. She was met with silence, and she turned to look at the boy, who was just staring at the ground.
For I oh-so love the groom
All my thoughts he does consume
Oh, Shining Armor
I'll be there very soon
What a foolish question. The truth was, he didn't have anyone else. And he didn't want anyone else, either. All he wanted was Haruki, the first person who taught him the most wonderful feeling in the world.
Yes, he truly loved the boy, with all of his heart and soul. Not a moment went by where he didn't think about his eyes, his attire, his adorable smile. Remembering the moments they shared brought him as much joy as they did when he experienced them.
He gave Mizuki his answer with confidence. All he cared about was stopping the ceremony and getting the love of his life back to normal. With that, they entered the elevator and went down to where the ceremony was taking place.
Wait for me, Haruki...
Finally, the moment has arrived
For me to be one lucky bride...
Haruki entered the room where the ceremony was set up, and all the Warriors of Hope turned to him with smiles on their faces. The plush monsters he created were there as well, and his loyal companion, Mr. Bunny, was at his side as he walked in.
Monaca waited for him at the front, where she would "officially" make him the second Ultimate Despair.
And suddenly, the locked door was kicked open.
Oh, the wedding we won't make
He'll end up marrying a fake
Shining Armor will be...
Mine. All mine.
Haruki turned to them in anger, and once again refused to listen to reason as he sent his fluffy companion into battle with the Warriors of Hope cheering him on.
The hatred in Haruki's eyes frightened Bunny, and Mizuki had to remind him that he didn't mean what he was saying. It was difficult, but all that mattered was defeating the final boss.
This one was faster than the others, but the two of them together managed to defeat him. Haruki stared at his fallen playmate in shock, and he began to throw a childish outburst as he fell to the ground in despair. Mizuki, knowing Haruki had nothing to say to her, urged Bunny to go to him, and he wasted no time.
He did his best to soothe Haruki, and finally confessed his feelings. Haruki looked up at him in surprise, and he noticed a speck of joy in his hollow eyes. For a moment, he appeared normal as he whispered to Bunny that he felt the same.
Bunny gave him a loving smile as he leaned in and kissed him, releasing all the love and joy he felt for him. Haruki closed his eyes and pulled him closer, and once they pulled apart, they rested their foreheads together and stared at each other with love. Until...
"Toki! They were having a moment!"
...Toko ruined their moment by shocking Haruki with her stun gun and knocking him unconscious. Bunny's joy faded into annoyance, and he suddenly felt the urge to hit a woman. Again.
Regardless, he lifted Haruki into his arms and carried him bridal style as the group exited the building.

house of mirrors
2.5k word mlp fanfic. dont judge me >.>
summary: rarity and twilights visit to the crystal empire is more eventful then either had hoped. somethings wrong with the castle, and more importantly, somethings wrong with shining armor...
content warnings: fear of transphobia (no actual rtansphobia bc this is the colorful horses show)
Rarity held back a whinny of delight as she trotted off the train and into the crystal empire station. Everywhere she looked she was dazzled by gleaming crystals of every color refracting rainbows on every surface while somehow remaining the farthest thing from gaudy. Starting to feel faint from excitement, she leaned on twilight's shoulder as her eyes fluttered.
“Rarity come on!” The alicorn laughed as she helped her friend upright. “We’ve hardly been in the empire for a minute! Save your fainting for the ceremony.”
The white horse perked up immediately at the reminder of what she had come here for: she was to assist Cadence and Shining Armor in the preparations for the newborn princesses presentation to the public! She cantered in place with excitement, lifting twilight's luggage with her magic and running off to their suite in the castle with twilight hot on her heels.
The suite was spacious with generous decor in simple light colors. the main focal point of the suite was the giant bay windows which cast giant swathes of warm light across the room. upon closer inspection rarity was amazed to discover that the windows were made entirely of cut crystal rather than glass. the faint color of the gemstone created a slight cast on the light coming in, giving a view of the city below that was ever so slightly tinted. this realization recontextualized the furnishing in rarities mind: it wasn't dull and plain, but simply a blank canvas for whatever the crystal windows brought in. a strange method of decor indeed. or was it a response to the material conditions of living in a house of crystal?
When the two had almost settled into their apartment, they were startled from their rest by a brisk knock at the door.
“A summons for princess twilight sparkle,” a booming voice called from behind the door. “You are needed urgently by princess mi amore cadenza for matters concerning his highness the prince.”
Worry flooded the purple alicorns features. “Urgent? Then I guess I had better go now.” She magically gathered a few items into her saddlebag and gave a parting smile to her friend as she was rushed away by royal guards.
Shocked by the suddenness of it all, rarity let out a chuff and sat squarely on her quarters. Was shining armor alright? she wanted to put her anxieties to rest, but it was plainly obvious that she hadn't been invited. would the entire trip to the empire consist of her sitting alone in her room while twilight attended to all matters of actual importance?
Trying to shake the thought from her head, rarity got up and left her room to explore the castle. It truly was extravagant, with pillars of crystal stretching to the high vaulted ceilings spreading refractions of glittering iridescence that made the whole space seem somehow both extraordinary glamorous and warm and homey. Inspiration flooded her mind as she trotted the decadently decorated halls. She just couldn’t wait to get back to her studio and put this inspiration to good use.
She was halted in her exploration when her ears picked up familiar voices talking from behind an ajar door. She knew it was wrong to eavesdrop, but she couldn’t help but listen in...
"-i don't know what to do twilight, he hadn't seemed this off for years, and now flurry is here and hes completely absent!"
"i don't know cadence, he hasn't said anything in his letters-"
“- all I’m saying is maybe you could get through to him! He won’t talk to me, or anypony else here. you're my last hope. maybe hell listen to his best friend”
“i've never been able to help him in one of these episodes before. if he’s not ready to talk then confronting him will only make him more defensive.”
“That’s a risk we’ll have to take. I’m worried for my husband twilight.” Rarity leaned on the door to hear better as the princesses voice dropped, “please, if not for shining armor, or for me, then for flurry heart. She deserves to have a father who can dedicate himself to her, not one who’s so preoccupied that he can hardly look after her.”
There was a sigh, then rarity heard twilight speak “very well. I’ll do this for her. Maybe that will get through to my brother.”
Sudden approaching hoofsteps started rarity out of her reverie. She stumbled backwards just in time to miss the swinging door as twilight entered the hall. “Rarity? I thought you were still in the room? Oh well, I need your help anyway." She looked over her shoulder as if to make sure they were alone. "I think somethings wrong with my brother. It's possible that one of the unreformed changelings has taken his place to try too take advantage of the upcoming love boom from flurry hearts royal presentation."
Rarity was taken aback by her friends leap of logic. "Doesn't that seem like an extreme suspicion? Having a baby is stressful enough for normal ponies, I cant imagine what kind of pressure would be on a royal prince."
"I don't know rarity, after what happened at the wedding we can't be too careful. I hope its just nerves and parental stress, but we have to expect the worse if we want to be prepared to handle it."
rarity nodded. "alright, then let's find your brother."
The two ponies galloped down the halls in search of the princes chambers. the crystal walls seemed to burn with energy, the warm cast of light from earlier having turned harsh and almost too bright. rarity wondered absently if this was a product of the changing time of day or a trick of the mind. could the walls of a castle really know how somepony felt, and shine it back at them like a diamond mirror?
a distant commotion pricked the two mares ears. "this way!" twilight called as she rounded a corner, dashing after the sound with rarity at her side.
the two skidded to a stop when they reached an open doorway from which the sound seemed to emit. with a flick of her ear twilight motioned for rarity to follow her and the two cautiously made their way into the room. twilight emitted a small light from her horn, then lit the rooms lamp once she could find it on the wall. with the room lit rarity immediately got an impression of drabness and depression, the tightly draped windows letting in no light and the gemstone walls shining the same dim echo back and forth across the space, almost seeming to beg for the light to go out again.
twilight gestured with her chin to the curtained bed at the center of the room, grabbing one edge of the curtain with her magic and indicating for rarity to take hold of the other. once the unicorn had secured the curtain, twilight gave a sharp nod and both ponies tugged their curtain aside, revealing a stallion-sized lump that spectacularly failed to live up to either mares fearful imagination.
the blue-maned unicorn sat up at once, alarmed by the sudden intrusion. he seemed to calm down slightly when he recognized his sister, but he remained guarded. "twily? rarity? what are you two doing in my private chambers?"
"well to be fair," rarity gestured back at the entrance, "you did leave your door open."
"cadence must have done that when she left." shining armor gruffed. "that doesn't answer my question though: what are you doing here?"
twilight stepped forward with a cautious expression, ready to fight if this really was a changeling. "were just here to check up on you, see how youre handling the upcoming princess presentation" it was clear that twilight was being reserved with her supposed brother.
then, shining armors eyes met hers, and her suspicion evaporated. that peculiar sadness that had haunted her brother in her young filliehood, then she had thought he'd escaped when he found happiness in cadences arms, was burning hot tears from shining armors eyes. she had never seen a pain like that before or since. if there was anything twilight was certain of, it was that this pony was the same one she had known her whole life. but the question still lingered, was he the real shining?
completely without her permission, tears began to well in twilight's eyes. "oh shinning, whats happened to you?"
her brother choked on a sob. "I'm sorry twily, you were never supposed to see me like this. no one was. i should be able to hold it together for you... for cadence... for my daughter..."
"shining nopony wants you to hide any part of you! we want to know when you're hurting so we can help. i had thought you'd healed from whatever's causing this pain but it seems to be back and i wont let you hide it from me this time!" the purple alicorn sniffled as tears streaked down her muzzle. "please shining, tell me whats wrong."
The stallion nervously rubbed his hooves together and cast his gaze to the ground. "i don't even know where to start."
"the beginning," twilight proposed. "i want to know everything. you cant heal until you let your wounds be seen."
shining nodded and took a deep breath, "its just that, when you were a fillie, everyone expected me to be the perfect big brother, and i never measured up to that expectation. it was like being thrown into the ocean with no idea how to swim, and everypony kept insisting that i was a fish and i should know how, but i didn't. then in the royal guard it didn't matter how i felt as long as i followed orders and played the role, so that's what i did. i don't know if it actually quieted the pain or just forced me to ignore it, but for a few years i thought maybe i could live with it. cadence was the only pony i've ever met who could make that noise in my brain silent; with her it didn't matter if I wasn't brother enough fro you or stallion enough for the military. i was always enough for her, no questions asked. i was so happy when we got married that i could almost forget about that feeling, telling myself it was a phase i'd outgrown. but now with flurry heart, all that anxiety is back. its like no matter what i do ill never be able to be a good father for her. i love her more than anything, id do anything for her, but it isn't enough. i'm not enough." the white unicorns neck gave way as he succumbed to quiet sobs, his once proud chin quivering and brushing his chest.
"shining... i..." twilight was speechless. what could be said? her brothers pain went far beyond anything she knew how to mend. at that moment being the princess of friendship meant nothing; she couldn't even move herself to speak in the face of her first best friends deep sorrow.
"i hope im not overstepping here," a timid voice chimed in, startling both siblings as rarity cleared her throat. "but i think i may have an idea as to the source and solution of your distress."
"rarity?" shining choked, "how could you possibly know how i feel?"
the mare nervously flicked her mane with an idle hoof. "there's a lot you don't know about me." turning to twilight, she asked "would it be alright if the prince and i could have a moment alone?"
Twilight nodded and bowed out of the room, and the two remaining ponies listened to her hoofbeats echo down and again further down the labyrinthine crystal hallway, which now seemed to glitter coldly like a sterile knife where it once had gleamed so warmly. rarity shivered at the thought of living in a place like this, which could transform before your eyes depending only on ones own emotion. that was, she mused, the property of crystal. it created nothing, only reflecting what was cast onto it. in a dimly lit cave the finest diamond was often mistaken by novices for a common quartz, but at the heart of a kingdom built on a foundation of admiration it gleamed on every surface like the morning dew on a freshly budded rose. this castle wasn't a cold cage or a warm embrace, it was an endless hall of mirrors, each perfectly angled to show you the deepest darkest crevice of your heart.
"i understand why it tortures you to live here." rarity whispered. "each surface gleams to a pristine chrome finish, yet the face it reflects is fundamentally and inconceivably wrong."
shining armor appeared startled, "that's exactly how it feels. how do you know? is it that obvious how miserable i am?
the mare shook her head, "only to those who have felt the same misery. shining armor, i once lived the same life as you, albeit in a much more drab estate. I felt that at every turn i failed at the very task of existing as myself, my relationships suffered because it pained me to view myself as a part of them. mirrors became my enemy because i couldn't face the pony looking back at me. the stallion looking back at me."
a small gasp escaped the taller unicorns lips "what-"
"think about it shining," rarity pleaded shakily, " everything you cant stand to be: brother, father, soldier, prince. they all have one thing in common." tears welled in her eyes and choked her throat "you cant run from it shining. it never stops. you only make yourself more and more miserable. you can cover as many mirrors as you like but eventually you're going to look around and realize that you're still the same pony you hated, standing alone in complete darkness."
something clicked behind the other ponys eyes. "no, it cant be... what about cadence? flurry? twilight? i cant throw all of them away because i have some twisted dream of living as a-"
"-you're not sick shining. maybe a bit different, but there's nothing wrong with you. you'll find that the friends worth keeping don't care at all. they're suffering by watching you suffer; freeing yourself will only free them too."
"i have no idea where to even start though. aren't i a bit too old for this?" shinings eyes were wide and scared.
"i would love to personally see to all the aesthetic changes you wish for, if you'll have me. you really couldn't ask for a more qualified personal stylist. and as for the social shift, you've got the princesses of love and friendship in your corner."
"but that's just it: they're not in my corner. they may as well be on the other side of equestria, or a gaping cavern. how can i even know that they'll still see me as me?"
"i know how scary it is, especially in the early days, but i can personally account for twilights acceptance. and as for cadence, i'm pretty sure they don't go around giving titles like the princess of love to ponies who cant accept others for something so harmless as gender." her smile faded and her face grew a bit serious "i can be there with you if you want. like i said, i know how scary it is." she placed a hoof on top of the other mares own.
She smiled. "I think id like that."

From the same anthro MLP dreamscape dream that Her last resort is from.
   Octavia took a sip of her sparkling mineral water while her gaze continuously sweep the ballroom. The string quartet was taking a break between sets.
    A few minutes ago her RESF superior officer had left the ballroom and begun her part of tonight's operation. Octavia's job was to keep watch on the ballroom and report any unusual activity to Rarity via the disguised magical comm link that all team members were wearing. The comm link was in the form a large gold earring.
   Like Rarity the Royal Equestria Security Forces (RESF) had made a concerted effort to keep the knowledge that Octavia was a member a secret. During war against the Realm of Shadows, the earth pony had served as part of the Equestria's armed forces Quick Tempo, but with the end of the war it appeared that Octavia had returned to her life of being a professional musician.
   However the war had made the Crown aware of another danger to the realm. Changelings. But the response to this threat was generally being handled much more covertly. Octavia had been quietly recruited to help with this new threat.
   The musician fiddled with the short bolero jacket she was wearing. The setting for tonight was formal, but no clear dress guidelines had been issued for it gala. So for the evening Octavia was wearing a pant suit outfit with high waisted, snug pants of dark violet-grey, a white corset-like top, and a violet-grey bolero jacket. Rounding out her ensemble was separate white collar and her signature bow tie. Her outfit was fancy enough for the evening without drawing too much attention to herself.
   Octavia recognized a few of the ponies gathered. Ponies she'd seen as attendees at various concerts, music festivals, or other events like tonight. However as her eyes continued to sweep the room she felt a cold lump form in her stomach. 3 new ponies had arrived. All of them were well dressed but had a surly air to them, but it was one stallion in particular in this group that made her heart skip for a moment.
  In the underworld of Equestria they were known by their nickname of Knuckle Sandwich. The stallion was an enforcer for the Steelhoof Association. He had a reputation for his brutality, acts of wanton public violence and his short temper, but Octavia knew a dirty secret about this stallion. Knuckle Sandwich was a changeling. The mare had run afoul of the changeling once before during an op and the warrior changeling had vowed to kill her someday.
  Lowering her head Octavia pretended to be reviewing her sheet music for the next set. As she did she tapped her earring and opened her comm link. As she did she visualized Rarity in her mind.
  Ma'am we have a situation. The earth pony started thinking the words in her mind. At least one disguised changeling has entered the ballroom. It's Knuckle Sandwich. Over!
  Oh. That's not good dear. Rarity's voice popped into Octavia's mind. Are they alone or are they with others? Over.
   Let me confirm ma'am. Standby. Over. Octavia removed what appeared to be a pair of reading glasses from a jacket pocket. Placing them on her muzzle she continued the charade of reviewing the sheet music for a couple more seconds. Then slowly she lifted her head and looked at 3 new arrivals that were gathered around one of the hors d'oeuvres table. The glasses had a matrix that been developed in secrecy by RESF researchers to allow ponies to identify changelings. All 3 of the newcomers had the shimmering aura that marked them as changelings.
   And Knuckle Sandwich was staring right at Octavia. There eyes met and the stallion started making a beeline for the earth pony.
   Octavia appeared to get up and go over to the case for her cello and a soft case that had the other personal belongings she'd brought tonight. As she did she tapped the earring again.
   Ma'am! I've been compromised and the situation is quickly escalating! Over! She knelt and unzipped the the long pocket of the soft case. The mare glanced up and saw Knuckle Sandwich still bearing down on her. His right hand vanished as he quickly reached for something hidden under his jacket . Octavia recognized the gesture and dove behind an unused wet bar. As she did she dragged the soft case with her.
  "I told ya I'd fucking kill ya if I ever saw ya again!" Roared the stallion with complete indifference of everypony gathered in the room. Drawing his 9mm pistol from his shoulder holster the stallion began pumping rounds into the heavy walnut bar. Ponies started screaming and fleeing from the room.
  Blast! Ma'am I'm taking fire! Over! Octavia jerked her carbine from the case and yanked on its collapsible shoulder stock to deploy it. Thumbing the selector she popped up over the bar and fired a 3 round burst. The destabilized mage crystal ammunition generated concentric rings around the muzzle as the projectiles punched into the torso of the changeling.  Blood/ichor erupted from the changeling's chest and he toppled to the ballroom floor.
  Suspect is down! The mare dived back behind the bar as the other 2 changelings having now drawn their weapons started shooting at her. Officer taking fire requesting immediate assistance! Over!  In Octavia's mind she could hear other team members beginning to initiate various pre-planned actions.
  Hang on sugar cube! Help is on the way! Applejack's voice popped in Octavia's mind. A few seconds later she heard the sounds of gunfire outside the mansion. I hope you like what you see. Please help make more art like this possible by supporting me at Patreon
