the ponies had worked through the night until the place was set. Ribbons were strung through bushes of coral. Crystal lanterns hung from polls that surrounded the garden where the ceremonies take place.

"Well, you ponies had this done very quickly." The captain, Emrald Wave said, carrying a tray of drinks to the working ponies.

"thank you." Twilight said, accepting a drink from the tray.

"Your welcome." He smiled. "It is a pleasure."

"I think that you ladies are done for tonight. I'll finish the rest for you."

" I think that we got things here." Rarity said.

" You have a job to do and I think we should handle this for you." Fluttershy spoke.

" No thanks. You girls should go get some sleep. I'll finish up." Emrald Wave insisted.

" Well, if you insist. Thank you sir." twilight said.

" Sleep well." He said as the seven of them swam to their room.

The ponies arrived at the room, with two guards in silver armor standing at the doors. One grey Pegasus stallion with a lighter grey mane, and the other had a brown coat and a black mane.

" Good evening, sirs." Twilight smiled as they walked through to the bed room.

As the door closed, Fluttershy sighed.

" Do you find it odd how much security forces there are?" Fluttershy asked.

" Now that I think about it, yeah. There is." Apple Jack said.

"It's worse then the canterlot wedding." Rainbow Said.

" I noticed too." Twilight breathed. "Do you think they think that we are a threat?"

" I don't think so. They wouldn't be invitin' us if they though that." Apple Jack pondered.

" Cadence did say that they might still be threatened by the other nation." Rarity said.

" But that was, like... Fifty years ago. How long would this go?"

" Maybe we can ask Koila tomorrow, but I'm tired. Let's get some shut-eye." They all yawned.

They all woke up in the morning at eight fifteen, resting and ready for the day. They all got ready, brushing their teeth or combing their manes. As they left, Leftenant Rocio Silver escorted them to a gazebo in the garden, where a table was set with many breakfast foods as the Princess, Koila, and Captain Emrald Wave were waiting.

" Good morning my friends. Did you sleep well?" Princess Aquarius asked.

" Like a rock." Apple Jack said.

"Oh,silly, rocks don't sleep. They don't have to." Pinkie Pie smiled.

" Well then, I'm glad you slept well." Aquarius said.

" Come eat." Koila beckoned to the chairs.

They all ate breakfast in peace. A cook pony brought Spike a assortment of gems for him to eat. From Emralds to rubies to aquamarines, Spike at well. The mood was light until Emrald Wave said that he and Koila were taking them on a tour of the kingdom Koi fish pony's mood dropped like gravity when he said that, but she masked it well.

" So, captain, I notice that there are a lot of guards around the castle. Is there a purpose for all of them?" Twilight asked.

" Safety for all the personnel in the castle is mandatory, your highness." He said, munching on a muffin like treat.

" Just Twilight please. Safety from what exactly?"

sorry this is a short chapter. I am super busy and I wanted to get a chapter out.
