Chapter 18?: The Fool

Eris was walking down as she stared at the royal guards who were bringing her out to the garden. Today, her sentence would be carried out as commanded. She looks up and sighed. Her month of imprisoning the stallion and forcing him to marry her was about to be served with some justice.

Solaris stood forward as he glared down at Eris, who was looking at Butterscotch. She hoped that he still loved her. However, Butterscotch only glared back at her in distain. The lady of Chaos quickly looked down as she still felt his glares at her.

"Eris the draconequus," Solaris spoke "Today the sentence of your imprisonment is to be carried out. Do you have anything you wish to say?"

"There is. I am sorry for all that I have done and I hope Butterscotch can forgive me."

"I don't forgive you." Butterscotch summoned a death glare at her. "You put me through so much torment. I don't love you at all. In fact, I never liked you to begin with. I thought you were a horrible monster and you deserve a worst punishment than putting you into stone."

Eris felt his harsh words and sighed.

"It would seem that we won't be putting you to stone." Solaris said changing the punishment of Eris. "Instead, we will be removing your head from your body. If we turn you to stone, then you will just break out of it and cause mischief once more. We need a permanent solution to stop you."

"Solaris, no stop I beg of you." Eris tried to use her magic, but her shackles prevented her chaotic magic from coming out. "Oh, that's right."

Eris started to scream as Solaris used his magic to remove Eris's head from her body.

"ERIS," Butterscotch turned back to see the mistake he had made.

Butterscotch rushed over to the draconequus and started to cry.

"Eris, I am so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen. I am so sorry. Can you forgive me?" Butterscotch cried over Eris's body in sadness.

"I already have Butterscotch." A voice crawled out of Eris's body. Everypony was shocked at what exactly was crawling out of Eris's body. It was an orange cat with a black tipped tail. She looked at Butterscotch, using her paw to make him look at her.

"Eris?" Butterscotch raised a brow

"I am not Eris, Butterscotch. I am sorry I lied to you." The cat told the stallion while digging out a blue hat from Eris's metallic head. Her tail then placed the hat on her head like a crown.

"My name is Daphne." The cat lifted the stallion from the ground. "Ever since this story was started, I have always been in love with you. Given that I am a cat and you are a guy pony, I thought our love couldn't come to be. That's why I have been posing as Eris. So, I could work my way up to telling the truth about you."

Butterscotch felt touched that Eris went through all this trouble just to get him to like her in that way.

"But, I know that you don't love me anymore. So, I might as well give up my attempts to earn your love." The cat told her love before walking away slowly.

"Wait, Daphne." Butterscotch halted the feline's movements by holding her paw. "I thought this was a really nice gesture. I never thought a cat like you would ever have feelings for me? In fact, I need to tell you that I am in love with you and I want to marry you."

"Wait, are you saying you want to…"

"Daphne the kitty cat, will you marry me?" Butterscotch kneeled down to propose to her.

The cat grinned hearing Butterscotch's confession of marrying her. She got so excited that everypony saw her bouncing off the walls, despite the fact that they were outside.

"I mean, ummm yes. I would love to marry you as well." Daphne coughed to remain calm about this moment. She held the stallion in her paws. "We must now come to gather everything we need for this wedding. You guys are invited to the wedding as well. Come Butterscotch, let's fly to my castle in the clouds to plan out our wedding."

"Daphne, how can you fly or even live in the sky if you don't have wings." Butterscotch was confused.

"Oh, my foolish love, you have a lot to learn about me. You don't need wings to fly" Daphne winked before holding the Pegasus in her paws and lifted off leaving a bright rainbow trail behind.

"That is so wickedly cool" Rainbow Blitz felt jealous of Daphne's flight ability.

Daphne and Butterscotch would have a wedding about three thousand times bigger than Gleaming Shield and Prince Tempo. There, the two lived together for many years, having about thirty kids before growing old together and died about two hundred years later.

"So, let me get this straight," The Autistic Writer spoke "Eris is not Eris at all, just Daphne the cat controlling the robot Eris in her attempts of falling in love with Butterscotch. You used an execution to get the truth out, and Butterscotch still loves her despite this bombshell."

Eris nods. "So, what do you think?"

"I thought this chapter was horrible, this isn't what i wrote. Where is chapter 18?"

"Well, stop being lazy and release it already."

"I am sorry i have been busy with other things."

"Okay, but don't come crying to me if people hate your story. The only reason people like it is because it is a genderswapped Bride of Discord."

Eris disappears and the Writer looks to the audience. He shook his head not believing what Eris said about the only reason people read this story.

"I am so glad you enjoyed my little April Fools joke. So, April Fools Everypony/Everybody. I really enjoyed making this chapter. Don't worry; this isn't actually chapter 18 of Groom of Eris. Just a little April Fools joke I am cooking up just to prepare you guys for chapter 18. Don't worry about it, chapter 18 will be done soon."

"You are wondering why did I repost chapter 17? Well, there was a big hole that one of my frequent readers noticed. I want to thank that person for noticing my flawed chapter."

WHEN WILL YOU POST CHAPTER 18.

The Writer covering his poor ears hearing the voices of his fans crying out that question.

"Well, chapter 18 will be posted by next month or sometime later. I am still working on it. So, don't quote me on it. The reason why it will take me a long time to do so is because I have other fics to catch up on. Plus, I have school and other obligations to get to. Unfortunately, I cannot be fully committed to this story."

"Well, I have to go, but I want to thank you all for sticking by this story. I never thought i would get so many likes for this story. I know it's not that good, but it doesn't matter as it is a good story. Nothing will stop me from finishing it. See you all in the next chapter."

The Autistic Writer uses his superspeed to run off into the next chapter.
