DAN VS.

Dan decided to go outside for once! So he walked through the Equestria-Side, just to picture it better for upcoming revenge plans. As he came across the train station of the Equestria-Side, he stopped as he suddenly saw a beautiful alicorn pony getting off the train! He watched in awe at her unending beauty, and he just couldn't help but to walk over to her to introduce himself: „H-H-Hi... My name is Dan, and you are the most beautiful pony I've ever seen! Tell me, who are you?"

„Why thank you ever so much! I am Princess Cadence, ruler of the Crystal Empire..." Cadence responded.

As Dan heard that Cadence was an actual princess and even a ruler of a whole empire, his heart was filled with even more love than before!

Cadence continued: „... and happily married to the captain of the royal guard, Shining Armor, brother of Twilight Sparkle, who is friends with the hero of the Crystal Empire, Spike the dragon."

In that moment Shining Armor also got off the train, placing himself next to the princess.

As quickly as Dan fell in love with Cadence, so did his heart break. That mare was already married AND deep inside the enemy lines?

„NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Dan cried.

Cadence asked „Is everything okay, Mister Dan?"

But Dan just lifted his fist up into the sky and cried:

„CAAAAADEEEEENCE!"

„Oookaayyy, we should slowly walk away from that weird guy..." Cadence said.

DAN

VS.

Princess Cadence

(Part 1)

Dan caught himself again and saw that Cadence and Shining Armor were getting away!

„I have to follow them!" Dan said to himself „Maybe I can manipulate the two of them to hate each other and split up! And then Cadence will happily accept me on her side! I mean, what's not to like on me?"

---

So he followed the two of them until he heard Cadence say to Shining Armor: „Hey, can you wait here for a minute? I really need to go for little princesses, if you know what I mean..."

„Sure, I'll wait for you right here!" Shining Armor answered, and Cadence vanished to the next toilet.

„Aww, it's so cute how he cares about her! He's so polite!" Dan said to himself once again „Well, too bad I'm going to split them up! Wow, I should really stop talking to myself..."

So he ran to the nearby flower shop and bought the most beautiful red roses in the entire store! Then he quickly went to a tree with a beehive and took some honey from there to hide it inside the roses along with the bees flying into the flowers to eat it.

Then he went over to Shining Armor: „Hey, casanova! How about you make a beautiful present to your wife? Take these roses, they're completely free of charge!"

„I don't know..." Shining Armor answered „You know, it's about that 'Don't trust strangers'-stuff..."

„Aw, come on, it's perfectly safe!" Dan said „What could go wrong with roses?"

„You're right. Thanks for the help" Shining Armor agreed and took the roses.

„Good luck!" Dan said and ran away to hide in the next bushes.

Now Cadence came back, and Shining Armor gave her the beautiful red roses: „Here, Cadence. I bought these flowers just for you!"

Cadence was surprised: „Aww, that's sooo cute of you! Thank..." In that moment the bees flew out of the flowers and attacked Cadence: „AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

„Oh my gosh!" Shining Armor shouted „Don't worry, I'll save you!"

He got a bucket of water and threw the water on the bees, which flew away. But now Cadence's head was completely wet.

„I'm so sorry!" Shining Armor said, and Cadence interrupted: „No, it's okay. It wasn't your fault. Things like that can happen sometimes. Let's just continue our way to Twilight..."

Dan in the meanwhile giggled: „So far for part one of my plan... Time for part two..."

---

A few minutes later, Cadence and Shining Armor came across a restaurant, and Shining Armor got an idea: „Hey! I know how to make it good again! How about we are having a romantic dinner in that restaurant? I'll pay for everything!"

„You really don't need to do that, I already said it's..."

„I insist, my dear wife!"

„Oh, okay then" Cadence laughed „Can we have a table on the outside?"

Shining Armor gave her a stare: „You do realize you are the princess of the Crystal Empire? Why shouldn't we get one?"

So the two of them sat down on a table in front of the restaurant and called the waiter to take their order.

---

Dan in the meanwhile was following them through the bushes the whole time and now said: „It's all going according to plan! Man, married couples are so predictable! I know that out of experience from Chris and Elise... And so I also know how to upset them..."

He saw a few kids playing with a ball on a playground nearby and walked over to them to whisper something into their ears.

---

A few moments later, Cadence and Shining Armor got their ordered meal from the waiter and were just about to eat, as suddenly Shining Armor was being attacked with waterballoons thrown by the kids Dan talked to earlier.

„What the hay!?" he shouted „Can't you kids go play with your waterballoons somewhere else?"

„No" they said „Cadence told us to throw them at you!"

„P... F... Whaaa..." Cadence was surprised, and Shining Armor just looked at her angrily.

„I don't know what they are talking about!" She defended herself.

But Shining Armor said: „So it was no big thing I did, huh? You were okay with it? It doesn't seem so!"

„But..."

„No! Just... just let us go over to Twilight, okay?"

„Okay..." Cadence said with a sad expression on her face.

---

Dan in the meanwhile couldn't stop grinning: „YES! It is almost done! Happy marriage, here I come!" Then he turned to the kids: „Oh, yeah, and here are the promised 20 dollars for each of you. Good job."

„I feel kinda sad..." One of the kids said.

Another one continued: „Yeah. I feel like we did the wrong thing..."

„Oh, that feeling will go away. Trust me!" Dan said „Now: To Twilight's library!"

With that, he continued following the couple through the bushes.

---

As Cadence and Shining Armor arrived at the library and went in, Dan in the bushes said to himself: „Now for the final part! But since they now know who I am, I need a disguise. But a trustworthy disguise that also Twilight and Spike will fall for... Good thing I stole that holographic disguiser from Elise!" Dan took out the very portable holographic disguiser, pressed a button and became an exact lookalike of Chris! „Chris! This is the perfect disguise! Everyone trusts Chris, hehe..."

So Dan knocked on Twilight's door, and the same unicorn opened: „Oh, hey Chris! How unexpected! As unexpected as Cadence and Shining Armor are! I am sure you would like to meet them, even though I didn't plan anything for you all..."

„It's okay..." Dan tried to imitate Chris „Destroying... I mean meeting Cadence and Shining Armor is enough for now. I am sure we will come up with something. I am sure in a few minutes this tree will be full of action! Hehehe..."

So Twilight and Dan went inside to Cadence and Shining Armor, which were chatting with Spike.

„So... Who wants to play 'truth or dare'?" Twilight asked.

Everyone else shouted: „ME!"

„Okay, I'll start" Twilight said „Chris, truth or dare?"

„Truth."

„Okay... What do you think of Cadence? Be honest!"

„Well, I think she is beautiful" Dan said „But it's not about what I think, but what Shining Armor thinks!"

„What?" Cadence and Shining Armor asked at the same time.

Dan continued: „Yeah. I once heard Shining Armor say that Cadence is fat!"

„WHAT?" Cadence looked at Shining Armor angrily.

He responded: „That's ridicoulous, honey..."

„Never come with honey ever again after that thing with the bees!" Cadence shouted.

„Chriiis?" Twilight said to Dan.

Dan said: „What? It's truth! You know I can't live with lies! Oh, by the way, Cadence once said that she thinks Shining Armor is an egoistic hunk!"

„I never said that!" Cadence answered.

„It's truth, Cadence! And it's Chris, he's taking things serious!" Shining Armor shouted „So you think I am an egoistic hunk?"

„And you think I'm fat?" Cadence continued „Well, maybe we should split up!"

„Maybe!" Shining Armor shouted.

„Oh, please not..." Twilight said, but the couple shouted: „SHUT UP! THIS IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!"

And so they threw Twilight at Spike, and both became unconcious.

---

Suddenly, the front door opened, and Princess Luna was standing in it: „SURPRISE VISIT! Uh..."

She looked at the scenery: The library was in chaos, Twilight and Spike were unconcious, Cadence and Shining Armor were shouting at each other, and in the middle of it all was 'Chris', whistling like nothing happened, and walking across her, out of the front door.

„What the hay happened here? I have the feeling Chris is responsible for all of this..."
