"I'm gonna go talk to Celestia about my mis- Uh, about what she wants me to do," explained Dad. "I'll get back to y'all later." What the buck?

"Y'all?" I asked.

"It's the only word there is short for 'you all' and I felt like trying it out."

"Wha' didja think o' i'?" Asked Applejack.

"Too southern. Anyway, see you later." He summoned a Support Circle and flew to the castle.

"Let's get going too," said Rarity, walking towards the station, "we've got a lot of work to do!"

"An' you've gat a big bro'er ter go congratula'," added Applejack, turning to Twilight.

"Yes," replied Twilight, "congratulate, and then give him a piece of my mind!" Yep, this'll end well. We followed her as she went ahead.

The others had gone to where they needed to be, so it was just Twilight and I walking towards the castle. There were hundreds and hundreds more guards throughout the city and we only saw more as we reached our destination. Up on the battlements stood a stallion wearing stupid looking armour sending guards towards random places he pointed to.

"I've got something to say to you, mister!" Exclaimed Twilight as she stormed towards him. So that's her brother, huh? The guards on the battlements pointed their spears towards her and the gaud (I'm so clever) looked confused until he saw her.

"Tweh Weh!" He shouted, sprinting towards Twilight as he threw away his helmet. "I've missed you so much! You need to visit more often! Or maybe I should visit you!" He leaped towards her with his forelegs outstretched. "Or maybe-!" Twilight caught him with telekinesis, cutting him off. She glared at him with the force of a thousand shovels.

"How dare you not tell me in person that you were getting married?! I'm your sister, for bucks sake!" She dropped him on the ground.

"It's not my fault! Princess Celestia has requested a, like, major increase in security! Didn't you see all the guards at the train station?!" Why is he shouting everything?

"Yeah, there's a big wedding coming up! Maybe you heard about it?"

"It has nothing to do with the wedding!" Wait, is he gonna-? "A threat has been made against Canterlot!"

"You bucking idiot!" I yelled, gaining the attention of everypony around. "You're supposed to be keeping that a bucking secret!" The moron ignored me and continued talking.

"Princess Celestia asked that I help provide additional protection! This, you need to see!" He fired a bolt of magic from his horn upwards until it hit the shield, making it glow slightly for a second. He rubbed his forehead and groaned. "The burden of keeping Canterlot safe and secure rests squarely on my flank! Staying focused on the task at hand has been my top priority!"

"Thats what you're so busy with? Just drink some damn potions!" Twilight raised a hoof to tell me to stop.

"Okay, okay, I get it," said Twilight in a much calmer voice. "You've got a distraction assignment from Celestia to keep you away from anything important." The two of them started walking along the battlements and I followed behind them. "But still, how could you not tell me about something as big as your wedding? Am I not important to you any more?"

"Of course you're important to me, Tweh Weh!" He continued shouting. "I'm making you my best mare!" Twilight looked surprised.

"You want me to be your best mare?"

"Yeah!" Twilight smiled.

"I'd be honored. But I'm still pretty pissed you're marrying somepony I don't even know! When did you even meet this 'Princess Mi Amore Cadenza'?"

"Tweh Weh, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza is Cadance, your old foalsitter!" Twilight gasped.

"Cadance? As in the Cadance? As in the greatest foalsitter in all the history of foalsitters?!"

"I know right?!"

"Holy-shit-holy-shit-holy-shit! Cadance is only the most amazing Pony ever! She's beautiful, she's caring, she's kind!" Heh, sounds like she wants to take her brother's place... "How many Unicorns can just spread love wherever they go? I only know of one! And you're marrying her!" She started singing. "You're marrying Cadance! You're marrying Cadance!"

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything important," interrupted a voice from behind us. I turned to see Miyamoto Cadenza giving Twilight the stink eye.

"Cadance!" Twilight jumped in front of her and started doing a weird dance ending with her wiggling her butt in Miyamoto's face.

"What the buck did I miss?" Asked a voice from above. I looked up to see Dad standing on a Support Circle with a disturbed expression on his face. I smiled.

"Hey, Dad," I greeted, waving. "God-Horse tell you anything interesting?" He shook his head vigorously to get over the disturbing sight before him and landed next to me.

"Not really." He sent me a psychic message. They're a high level shapeshifter, likely blocking magic detection. No counter spells that I can learn fast enough. So it's all down to our investigation skills? Yeah. Well, mine. What? Both of us investigating would be too suspicious. Fair enough. Do you still want me to help by watching for weird behavior? Yeah, thanks.

"How did you find us, Cloud?" Asked Twilight as Miyamoto and Asshat started talking in the background. Dad turned to her.

"I was following a powerful magical energy signature that seemed out of place. I didn't realise Pinkie II would be an Alicorn."

"Oh, okay." A letter magically appeared in front of Twilight. "Huh?" She opened it and quickly read through it. "Huh." She turned to me as she teleported it away. "Princess Celestia says that she wants me to check up on everypony with you since she'll be busy with something."

"And by 'something' she means pancakes..."

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Anyway, we should get going. Let me just say 'bye' to Shining Armour." Twilight walked over to her brother.

"I'm gonna start looking around. See you later, Vesper."

"Bye, Dad." Can't believe he gets to have all the fun...

Author's Notes:

If you didn't get the joke, 'gaud' was a play on words mixing 'guard' and 'gaudy'.

---

Fun fact; Vesper was originally going to be the kid of Cloud and Twilight, hence her name ('Overcast' relating to clouds and 'Vesper' meaning later in the day).
