Chapter 4

Twilight Sparkle still was thinking about her talk with Pinkie Pie. She really does not expect something like this, but she must admit that all that was true.

After all, even ponies and other creatures like Discord, Sunset Shimmer, Trixie or Starlight Glimmer have a change of heart. Maybe he is just somepony who needs her?

- I hope. - She look into bright sun, in the sky. She reamember that Sombra told her to be back in afternoon, so she just trot into the castle.

If this marriage would not be necessary, then princess Celestia never allow it to happened. And if Sombra could even possible hurt her they will never start the negotiations in a first place.

For sure, even if she will be lonely in her marriage, she would never be alone, when she have her beloved friends. She wipe a tear from her eye, and smile when she saw a familiar face. As if something could hear her and make her dream come true.

It was her very best friend, a little purple dragon that was waiting for her next to the castle front yard.

Twilight gallop to him and hug him tight.

- You have no idea how much I miss you, Spike.

He hug her back, but said with a bit of disbelieve.

- But we saw each other yesterday.

She smile, and pat his head. He knows what she meant, since before and after the ceremony, they have almost no time for each other. And that few minutes on the alter were very brief.

- You right, what I was thinking? But tomorrow, I have to leave you again. - Twilight look at Spike. - I hope you don't mind to take care of the castle when I gone?

- Of course not, Twilight. - He open the front gate for her and let her in. - But, I must ask you something, you see...

He shake a bit, and connect his two claws together.

- How does he treat you after wedding? I was so afraid when he suddenly push you.

- It is... something I would never expect. - She said. - But he apologize to me, after that. You really don't have to be worried. - She lied.

But Spike was worried, he easily saw the true in Twilight eyes, and he could said that the last few days were not easy.

When they walk to the hallway, Twilight heard some voices in the map room. She was curious what is going on there so she take a pick. Her husband was sitting there with queen Chrysalis. He pour a wine to crystal glass and give her it to the hoof.

- So, I think about opening a new trade route with Yakyakistan, Chrysalis. - Sombra was drawing a line on the table map. - We should really consider it, since they have great fields of nephrite that we needs, and high quality silk...

Twilight jaws drop. She get to the map room, and notice that Sombra was sitting of her friendship throne. While Chrysalis was on Fluttershy throne.

- You two were talking about politics without me?! - Twilight was red from anger. Spike was hiding behind her leg. - Sombra, we are suppose to rule together!

- So what? - Sombra look at his wife as he could not care less.

- So, you can't just decide this on your own!

- And Im not, as you clearly can see, I have Chrissy here with me. - He take changeling hoof and kiss it. - She knows very well what I want.

- What? - She narrow her eyes. Twilight was looking at Sombra with pure hate.

- Twilight? - Spike open his mouth.

Sombra look at him, and ask:

- And who is that?

Twilight blink.

- What do you mean, "who"? Its Spike.

- And I suppose to know it, because...? - He continue. and Chrysalis giggle a bit.

- Really? He is my best friend? - Twilight said.

Sombra just flick his hoof.

- Why should I care?

- I live with him since I was 7 years old?

- With another male? How indecent, my love. - Sombra joke.

- Oh, for Celestia sake, he is a hero of Crystal Empire!

- Why this little pimple would be anypony hero? - Sombra was surprise.

- He defeat you, remember!?

- Now I know you are have to have a fever dream of some sort, honey. You better go pack yourself before our honeymoon and make my some dinner, mare.

Sombra take his shadow form and float to her and pinch her in a flank. She try to punch him, but her hoof just miss in the black, fluid mane. She growl with frustration and get out.

Spike was quite speechless after what he saw. He run after her to cheer her up.

Then Sombra return to his solid stallion form, and look at queen Chrysalis, who also try to figure it out.

- Okay, Sombra, as much I like you, I don't recall to be so close to you. - She raise her eyebrow. - "Chrissy"? "I know what you want"? And what was that Spike thing? We both know you are not stupid. And did you just tell your wife to shut up and make you dinner?!

He laughs and whisper to her ear:

- Do you know the story of The taming of the wayward Pegasus? - He ask.

- Shakespony? But, what it have to do with anything?

- Well, I find this old tale very inspiring. - He smirk showing his fangs. - But I think it would be more fun with alicorn princess. And, maybe I would prefer brainwashing?

- But aren't you agree to live in peace? - She ask. - Changelings are now more happy then ever.

Sombra turn to her said.

- I have to admit its a shame, since I like mares with character, like her, but do you really think I will give up on my old kingdom, just like that? Any mare isn't worth so much.
