The Irelanders' Adventures of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: A Canterlot Wedding/Transcript

[The film starts with a nice beautiful day in a field in Equestria. The Mane 6, The Irelanders, Fireman Sam, Thomas, Tubb, Spud, Marco Polo and their friends are having a picnic in a meadow outside Ponyville]

Rarity: Ah!

[Spike's feet are seen running along the ground]

Rarity: It is gorgeous out. Just gorgeous!

[Spike is panting as he runs. Everyone is enjoying the picnic when Spike came running up to them, out of breath]

Ash Ketchum: Spike. Are you okay?

Spike: Twi... light! ...I... have... Lemme just...

[He took a deep breath and belch out a message]

Connor Lacey: It's a message from Princess Celestia.

Marco Polo: I wonder what it says.

[Twilight uses her magic to unfold the message and read it]

Twilight Sparkle: Dear Twilight, I am sure you are as excited as I am about the upcoming wedding in Canterlot. [to the others] Wedding?

[The others look at each other in confusion]

Twilight Sparkle: ''I will be presiding over the ceremony, but would very much like you and your friends to help with the preparations for this wonderful occasion. Fluttershy, I would like you and your songbird choir to provide the music.''
 * Fluttershy: Oh my goodness! What an honor!
 * Raven Queen: That's really amazing.
 * Twilight Sparkle: Pinkie Pie, I can think of no one more qualified than you to host the reception.
 * Pinkie Pie: Hip, hip, hooray!
 * Twilight Sparkle: Applejack, you will be in charge of the catering for the reception.
 * Applejack: Well, color me pleased as punch!
 * Twilight Sparkle: Rainbow Dash–
 * Rainbow Dash: [yawn]
 * Twilight Sparkle: ...I would very much appreciate it if you could perform a sonic rainboom as the bride and groom complete their "I do"'s.
 * Rainbow Dash: Yes!
 * Twilight Sparkle: Rarity, you will be responsible for designing the dresses for the bride and her bridesmaids.
 * Rarity: Princess Celestia wants me to– [unintelligible] ...wedding dress? For a Canterlot wedding... I, ah, ooh, oooh!
 * [She went into a bliss and falls over to the ground]
 * Connor Lacey: She's always doing that.
 * Twilight Sparkle: And as for you, Twilight, you will be playing the most important role of all: Making sure that everything goes as planned. See you all very soon. Yours, Princess Celestia.
 * [She folds the letter back up]
 * Twilight Sparkle: But... I don't understand. Who's getting married?
 * Spike: Oh, wait! Uh, I was probably supposed to give you this one first.
 * [He pull out another scroll and Twilight uses her magic to open it and read it]
 * Twilight Sparkle: Princess Celestia cordially invites you to the wedding of Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and...[gasp] My brother?!

[The intro begins and ends with the title "The Irelanders' Adventures of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: A Canterlot Wedding"]

Applejack: Your brother's getting married? Congratulations, Twilight! That's great news!

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah, great news. That I just got from a wedding invitation! Not from my brother, but from a piece of paper! Thanks a lot, Shining Armor. I mean, really, he couldn't tell me personally? [as Shining Armor] Hey, Twilight, just thought you should know I'm making a really big decision that changes everything. Oh, never mind, you'll hear about it when you get the invitation. [normal] Princess Mi Amore Cadenza? Who in the hoof is that?! [snort]

Fluttershy: Um, Twilight? Are you okay?

Twilight Sparkle: Sorry, it's just that Shining Armor and I have always been so close. He's my B.B.B.F.F!

[The other ponies and Irelanders look at her in confusion]

Twilight Sparkle: Big Brother Best Friend Forever?

Rest of main cast: Ohhh!

Emily: I didn't know you had a brother.

Finbar: That is might ar-ar-ar fine.

Twilight Sparkle: You don't know the half of it.

Martin Kratt: Huh? What do you mean?

Twilight Sparkle: Before I came here and learned the importance of friendship, Shining Armor was the only pony I ever really accepted as a friend.

[The song My Big Brother Best Friend Forever starts as Twilight nuzzles a bird on her hoof]

TWhen I was just a filly, I found it rather silly To see how many other ponies I could meet [A flashback begins that features Twilight as a little filly walking down Canterlot reading a book] I had my books to read, didn't know that I would ever need Other ponies to make my life complete [She bumps into a white stallion colt with blue mane. She step back and look up at him who glares at her but then smiled at her and she smiled back] But there was one colt that I cared for I knew he would be there for me My big brother, best friend forever! Like two peas in a pod, we did everything together [They fly a kite together in a field and share two pieces of an apple] He taught me how to fly a kite (Best friend forever!) We never had a single fight (We did everything together!) [Shining Armour is training to be a royal guard while Twilight practices her magic. The two siblings shares a sad farewell when Twilight went to Ponyville with Spike and the Irelanders] We shared our hopes, we shared our dreams I miss him more than I realized It seems... [Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity] Your big brother, best friend forever Like two peas in a pod, you did everything together [Twilight Sparkle] And though he's, oh, so far away I hoped that he would stay My big brother best friend Forever... Forever... [The song ends with Twilight looking down sadly with tears in her eyes]

Percy: That's sad.

Connor Lacey: I'm sorry, Twilight.

Elvis Cridlington: We really have no idea you've missed him that bad.

Violet Parr: I think we've seen Shining Armor before.

Mewtwo: What do you mean?

Violet Parr: He was there in Canterlot before we set off to Ponyville for the Summer Sun Celebration.

Connor Lacey: Oh yeah.

James Jones: I think I remember that.

Thomas: He was the white stallion we saw when we left, remember, Percy?

Percy: I think I do, Thomas.

Applejack: As one of your P.F.F.'s...

[The other ponies look confused]

Applejack: Pony Friends Forever...

Rest of main cast: Ohhh!

Applejack: ...I wanna tell you that I think your brother sounds like a real good guy.

Twilight Sparkle: He is pretty special.

Shi La Won: You're not the only one with BBFs, Twilight.

Twilight Sparkle: Why? Do you have someone special in your life?

Shi La Won: Yes. Hiro.

Tubb: Who's Hiro?

Shi La Won: He's my BJFF. Best Japanese Friend Forever. He's a black steam engine from Japan. Which is not far from my home in China.

Fu Fu: (chitters)

Connor Lacey: He's also known as the Master of the Railway.

Thomas: When we first met him, he was broken down in the woods for a very long time and we offered to help repair him without telling The Fat Controller since Hiro fears that he'II be scrapped. We bring parts to him from The Steamworks with Victor and Kevin and it was going well.

Gordon: But then Spencer, The Duke and Duchess' private engine, found out and tried to make Hiro's fear come true. Hiro's parts fell off him and I had to distract Spencer with a race for Hiro to be moved to a siding outta the way.

Fireman Sam: Then after that, we got into a chase with Spencer, which resulted in him getting stuck in the fenland mud.

Edward: We look after Hiro while Thomas, The Irelanders and Olwin help Spencer build the summer house for The Duke and Duchess which is close to Hiro's hideout.

Mewtwo: Then after all that was done, Hiro was fixed and Spencer was rescued.

Shi La Won: But then Hiro got homesick and he went back to Japan to return home. (sighs) I miss him still.

Brock: He sounds like a nice engine.

Sploshy: Oh he is.

Aviva Corcovado: (putting a hand on Shi La's shoulder to comfort her) Don't worry. You will see each other again.

Henry: Aviva's right. He'II also come back to Sodor one day.

Emily: We have no idea he was a special friend to you.

Percy: Why didn't you tell us that when we're restoring Hiro?

Shi La Won: Because we were in such a hurry to get Hiro fixed that I didn't get the time.

Koki: That could explain a lot.

Thomas: I didn't even know that's the other reason why you want him to be fixed and not scrapped.

[Shi La nods in agreement]

Twilight Sparkle: Looks like that's something we both have in common.

Shi La Won: I know.

Fu Fu: (chitters)

Marco Polo: I know what it's like to be separated from your family.

Connor Lacey: At least you still got a sibling. My siblings were dead thanks to Linda Ryan, my stepmother.

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, I'm sorry, Connor.

Connor Lacey: It's OK.

Twilight Sparkle: I mean, they don't let just anypony be captain of the Royal Guard.

Rarity: [chirp] So let me get this straight. We're helping out with the wedding of not only a princess, but a captain of the Royal Guard?

Twilight Sparkle: I guess we are.

Rarity: Ooh, ooh, oooh!

[Twilight brings out a pillow and Rarity falls onto it. The ponies began talking excitedly about the wedding. Later, they're on board The Friendship Express train to Canterlot]

Rainbow Dash: A sonic rainboom? At a wedding?! Can you say "best wedding ever"?!

Pinkie Pie: [gasp] [echoing] Best wedding ever!

Jimmy Z: Pinkie! Not now!

Pinkie Pie: Sorry.

Gordon: Well, I think helping out at the wedding must be very important and I'm a very important engine, not to mention the fastest engine on the whole Island of Sodor.

Aviva Corcovado: Yeah, yeah, Gordon. We all know, you're the fastest.

James: Weddings bring guests so all the more people to admire my shiny red paint.

Lucius Best/Frozone: You do know the attention will be on the bride and groom right?

James: Oh. But some can get attention to me as well.

Shi La Won: (facepalms) James, it's a wedding. The guests eyes won't always be on you.

James: Huh.

Edward: (sighs) He's often like that, Shi La. You'II get used to it.

Spike: So you all get to help with the big fancy wedding, but I'm the one who gets to host the bachelor party! I have just one question. What's a bachelor party?

Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Fluttershy: [laughter]

[Applejack and Connor saw Twilight looking out of the window sad and walk over to her]

Applejack: Why the long face, sugarcube?

Twilight Sparkle: I'm just thinking about Shining Armor. Ever since I moved to Ponyville, we've been seeing each other less and less. And now that he's starting a new family with this "Princess Mi Amore Ca-whatshername", we'll probably never see each other.

Applejack: Come on, now. You're his sister. He'll always make time for you.

Connor Lacey: Yeah, Twilight. Just like we make time for each other.

Twilight Sparkle: Couldn't seem to make time to tell me he was getting married.

[They soon approaching Canterlot which has a pink bubble covering all of it]

Pinkie Pie: We're here, we're here!

[Then as they entered, they felt themselves scanned by the bubble, making get confused. Then as they arrived at the station, they saw royal pony guards surrounding it]

Rainbow Dash: Whoa, what's with all the guards?

Rarity: I'm sure they're just taking the necessary precautions. Royal weddings do bring out the strangest ponies.

Pinkie Pie: Aaaaaaaaa– [sneezes like a trumpet]

Percy: Wow, Pinkie. How do you do that?

Pinkie Pie: I just do it, that's all.

Misty: Very weird if you ask me.

Rarity: Now, let's get going! We've got work to do!

Applejack: And you've got a big brother to go congratulate.

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah. Congratulate. And then give him a piece of my mind.

[The other ponies and Irelanders watch her trot off with concern]

Thomas: I think some of us better go with Twilight to make sure she's okay.

Connor Lacey: You're right, Thomas. You, Percy, Marco, Shi La, Luigi, Fu Fu, Chris, Martin, Norman, Spud, Violet, Dash and I will go with her. The rest of you will help the other ponies prepare things for the wedding.

Irelanders: Yes, Connor.

[The scene changes to Shining Armour giving instructions to the Royal Guards. Then Twilight, Connor and the others approaches the castle]

Twilight Sparkle: I've got something to say to you, mister.

[The guards points their spears at them, thinking they're intruders but Shining Armor look down and recognizes Twilight]

Shining Armor: Twily! Ah, I've missed, you, kid. How was the train ride? I–

[Twilight flinch away]

Twilight Sparkle: How dare you not tell me in person that you were getting married! I'm your sister, for pony's sake!

Shining Armor: It's not my fault! Princess Celestia has requested a major increase in security. Didn't you see all the guards at the train station?

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah, there's a big wedding coming up. Maybe you heard about it?

Shining Armor: It has nothing to do with the wedding. A threat has been made against Canterlot.

Marco Polo: What sort of threat?

Shining Armor: We don't know who's responsible for it, but Princess Celestia asked that I help provide additional protection. This, you all need to see.

[He step back and uses his magic to make the bubble a bit stronger though he got a headache by it]

Shining Armor: [gasps] The burden of keeping Canterlot safe and secure rests squarely on my shoulders. Staying focused on the task at hand has been my top priority.

[They went onto a bridge]

Twilight Sparkle: Okay, okay, I get it. You've got a really important job protecting all of Canterlot with a force field only you can conjure up. But still... how could you not tell me about something as big as your wedding? Am I not that important to you any more?

Shining Armor: Hey. You're my little sister. Of course, you're important to me. (to the Irelanders) And I think I recognizes some of you guys. You're with Twiley when she went to Ponyville, right?

Connor Lacey: Yes. My name is Connor Lacey.

Martin Kratt: We're the Kratt Bros. I'm Martin Kratt.

Chris Kratt: I'm his brother. Chris.

Norman Price: I'm Norman Price.

Spud the Scarecrow: I'm Spud. I'm a scarecrow.

Violet Parr: I'm Violet Parr and this is my brother Dash.

Thomas: I'm Thomas. And my friend is called Percy.

Marco Polo: I'm Marco. This is Luigi, Shi La and our bet bat, Fu Fu.

Shining Armor: Ha, I knew you looked familiar. Apart from you six that is.

Connor Lacey: Twilight told us all that you're her B.B.F.F, Big Brother Best Friend Forever, and the Captain of the Royal Guard.

Thomas: She really misses you very much.

Marco Polo: I miss my father when he's exploring the world.

Shi La Won: My old friend, Hiro is from Japan which is not far from my home in China. He's my BJFF, which stands for Best Japanese Friend Forever. I miss him so I understand Twilight's special bond with you and that she misses you so

Shining Armor: I never know somepony else has the same special bond Twiley and I have. I'm sorry about your siblings and father's deaths, Connor.

Connor Lacey: That's okay.

Shining Armor: (to Twilight) But I'd understand if you didn't want to be my best mare now.

[He give a hopeful smile]

Twilight Sparkle: You want me to be your best mare?

Shining Armor: Well... yeah.

Twilight Sparkle: I'd be honored!

[She hugs her brother for bit then pull away from him, still bitter about his bride-to-be]

Twilight Sparkle: But I'm still pretty ticked you're marrying somepony I don't even know! When did you even meet this "Princess Mi Amore Cadenza"?

Shining Armor: Twily, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza is Cadance, your old foalsitter.

Twilight Sparkle: Cadance? As in the Cadance? As in the greatest foalsitter in all the history of foalsitters?!

Shining Armor: [chuckles] You tell me. She was your foalsitter.

[A flashback begins which features Cadance, a pink alicorn with a blue heart cutie mark looking after Twilight as a young filly]

Twilight Sparkle: Ohmygoshohmygosh! Cadance is only the most amazing pony ever! She's beautiful, she's caring, she's kind...

Young Twilight Sparkle: I am so lucky to have you as my foalsitter!

Young Cadance: I'm the one who's lucky, Twilight.

Young Twilight Sparkle: [scoffs] You're a princess. I'm just a regular old unicorn.

Young Cadance: You are anything but a regular old unicorn.

Young Twilight and Young Cadance: Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake! Clap your hooves and do a little shake! [laughing]

[Twilight and Cadance are walking down the street when they came across a couple arguing about something]

Wild Fire: I am going for a hooficure and that is that!

Lucky Clover: You are not going–

Wild Fire: I am! I am!

Lucky Clover: I've already paid for three this month!

Wild Fire: I... no! My girlfriends are all getting their hooves done! And you said that onl–

Lucky Clover: Please, we've done this at least–

[Cadance uses her magic to put two halves of a heart into the couple, stopping the argument]

Lucky Clover and Wild Fire: [suddenly stop arguing]

Lucky Clover: Oh! Ho, ho, ho.

Wild Fire: Oh, sweetie. You just did that face.

[The couple smiled at each other. Twilight stares in awe at Cadance's talent]

Twilight Sparkle: How many unicorns can just spread love wherever they go? I only know of one! And you're marrying her! [sing-song voice] You're marrying Cadance! You're marrying Cadance!

Connor Lacey: (laughing by Twilight's prancing)

[Then Cadance herself appears to them]

Princess Cadance: I hope I'm not interrupting anything important.

Twilight Sparkle: Cadance! Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake! Clap your hooves and do a little shake!

[Cadance got confused by the dances Twilight's doing]

Princess Cadance: What are you doing?

Twilight Sparkle: Cadance, it's me, Twilight!

Princess Cadance: [uninterested] Uh-huh.

Thomas: That's funny. I'm sure Cadance will remember the rhyme and Twilight.

Shi La Won: I'm not sure. Something doesn't seem right.

Fu Fu: (chitters)

Shining Armor: I've gotta get back to my station, but Cadance will be checking in with all of you to see how things are going. I think I speak for both of us when I say we couldn't be more excited to have you here. Right, dear?

Princess Cadance: Absolutely.

[Twilight got confused by Cadance's smile]

Shining Armor: Well, we'll let you get to it.

[They went off and the scene changes to the kitchen where Applejack is baking cupcakes with some ponies]

Applejack: Cake, check. Ice sculpture, check. Best darn bite-size apple fritter you ever tasted...

Twilight Sparkle: Mmm. Check.

Toby: This is going really well, Applejack.

Applejack: Thanks, Toby.

Spud the Scarecrow: Oooooh! Cupcakes!

[He took one and eat it]

Thomas: Spud!

Aviva Corcovado: Ask before you take.

Fireman Sam: Those cupcakes are for the wedding.

Spud the Scarecrow: Sorry. I really like cupcakes.

Sploshy: Well, save some for the wedding.

Spud the Scarecrow: Got it, Sploshy.

Norman Price: I'II make sure of it.

[Then Twilight saw Spike playing with wooden figures of Shining Armor and Princess Cadance on the cupboard]

Spike: [deep voice] I do. Do you? [high voice] I do! [kissing noises] [laughs nervously]

Emily: Spike.

Brock: Those are meant to go on the wedding cake.

[Then Princess Cadance enters the kitchen]

Applejack: Hiya, Princess!

Princess Cadance: Please, call me Princess Mi Amore Cadenza.

[Twilight just frowns at this]

Applejack: Hiya, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza. You come to check out what's on the menu for your big day?

Princess Cadance: I have!

[She tried a cupcake and ate it]

Princess Cadance: [gulp] Delicious! I love-love-love them. [laughs nervously]

Applejack: Aw, shucks. Why don't you take a few to go? [squee] I know how you brides can be. So busy, you forget to get a little somethin' in your belly.

[As Princess Cadance walk out of the kitchen, she dump the bag in the bin to which Twilight and the Irelanders' shocked]

Twilight Sparkle: Did... you see what she...

[Applejack didn't pay attention to that. Later, Twilight and the Irelanders are with Rarity as she designs the dresses for the bridemaids]

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, you should have seen how she acted back there. I don't know when she changed, but she changed! [imitating Cadance] "Please, call me Princess Mi Amore Cadenza."

Princess Cadance: Did I hear someone say my name?

[They turn to see Cadance entering the room with Twinkleshine, Minuette and Lyra Heartstrings following her]

Rarity: Your highness! Let me just start by saying what an honor it is to play a role in such a momentous occasion. [laughs nervously]

Princess Cadance: [unenthusiastically] Uh-huh. Is my dress ready?

Rarity: [stammers] Yes, of course. Um, I've been working on it ever since I was given the assignment, and I think you'll be pleased with the results! Mmm!

[Cadance looks at her wedding dress with a distasteful look on her face]

Princess Cadance: I was hoping for something with more beading and a longer train.

Rarity: Oh, yes, of course.

James: What?!

Princess Cadance: And those should be a different color.

Twinkleshine: I think they're lovely.

Minuette: Me too!

Lyra Heartstrings: I love them.

[Cadance gives the three a glare which makes them quiet down]

Princess Cadance: Make them a different color.

[She walks out of the room, making Rarity give a worried glance at Twilight and the Irelanders]

Twilight Sparkle: Gee, maybe her name should be "Princess Demandy-pants."

Connor Lacey: Twilight! Don't say things like that! She might hear! But something is off about Cadance.

Chris Kratt: Yes. Why is she acting like that?

[The scene changes to the hall where Pinkie Pie is showing Cadance the party reception]

Pinkie Pie: Okay, let me see. We've been over the games... [rattles dice] ...the dances...

[polka from Swarm of the Century plays and stops]

Pinkie Pie: [gasps] I think this reception is gonna be perfect! Don't you?

Princess Cadance: Perfect! ...If we were celebrating a six-year-old's birthday party.

Pinkie Pie: [gasps] Thank you!

[Twilight and the Irelanders watches this behind a pillar with glares on their faces. The scene changes to evening with Princess Celestia looking through a telescope when Princess Luna files in]

Princess Luna: Rest, my sister. As always, I will guard the night.

[She stands on the balcony, looking through the telescope. At a cafe, the ponies, Spike and the Irelanders talk about the day while sitting at the tables outside]

Twilight Sparkle: Bet I can guess what you're all thinking. Cadance is the absolute worst bride-to-be ever.

Spike: [high voice] Who, me?

Applejack: Spike! That goes on the cake.

Spike: [laughs nervously]

Ash Ketchum: (to Spike's likeness of the wooden figures) But he should be able to play with them.

Pikachu: Pikachu.

Rarity: Twilight, whatever are you talking about? Cadance is an absolute gem!

Twilight Sparkle: Rarity, she was so demanding!

Rarity: Well, of course she is! Why shouldn't she expect the very best on her wedding day?

James: More like the very worst!

Connor Lacey: I have to agree with James. It's almost she wants to wreck the wedding.

Twilight Sparkle: Applejack, did you know that after she told you how much she just 'love-love-loved' your hors d'eouvres, she threw them in the trash?

Applejack: Aw, she was probably just trying to spare my feelin's.

Twilight Sparkle: No, she was just being fake and totally insincere!

Fluttershy: She did raise her voice at one of my birds during rehearsal.

Twilight Sparkle: See? Rude!

Fluttershy: But he was singing really off-key.

[The bird tweets off-key very loud]

Henry: Ooow! As you can see. But I agree! Something is definitely not right about her!

Marco Polo: Glad you agree, Henry.

Percy: What do you think, Edward?

Edward: Hmmm. I think that we have every right to be suspicious. Something is wrong with Cadance and we need to find out what.

Martin Kratt: Yeah. It's almost like she's the threat.

Twilight Sparkle: Pinkie Pie, you had to have noticed how Cadance treated–

[Then she saw Pinkie and Spike playing with the wooden figures of Shining Armor and Princess Cadance]

Pinkie Pie and Spike: [kissing noises and laughing]

Lightning McQueen: Ugh! Guys!

Twilight Sparkle: Never mind. Rainbow Dash, you're with me, right?

Rainbow Dash: Sorry, Twi. Been too busy prepping for my sonic rainboom to pay much attention to the bride's bad attitude.

Gordon: But I noticed it! She totally criticized Rainbow Dash's flight skills!

[Twilight growls at Rainbow Dash's ignorance]

Rarity: The princess is about to get married. I'm sure any negative behavior she might be displaying is simply the result of nerves.

[Twilight stomp her hoof on the table in frustration]

Twilight Sparkle: And I'm sure it's the result of being an awful pony who doesn't deserve to even know Shining Armor, let alone marry him!

Applejack: Think maybe you're bein' just a tiny bit possessive of your brother?

Rest of main cast: Uh-huh.

Twilight Sparkle: I am not being possessive, and I am not taking it out on Cadance! You're all just too caught up in your wedding planning to notice that maybe there shouldn't even [thumps table] be a wedding!

[She then storms off, leaving her friends concerned]

Percy: Oh, Shi La, I got a letter from a mailpony who's delivering it to you.

Shi La Won: Who is it from?

Percy: It's from Hiro.

Shi La Won: [opens the letter and reads it] ''Dear, Shi La, I've writed to tell you that I was happy to be back home. I told my friends about your adventures and you, Thomas, Connor and the Irelanders saving me from being scrapped in the Smelters' Yard on Sodor. Although, I've really miss you and Fu Fu every day in my home. I think about you every day when I have time alone. I hope we can see each other again soon. From your BJFF, Hiro, the Master of the Railway.''

[Shi La smiles warmly at Hiro's reply with little tears of joy in her eyes. She even saw a picture of Hiro with his old friends (Japanese steam engines) and his controller, Sir Takaboushi Hideki in Japan]

Violet Parr: Whoa. Look at how happy they all are.

Thomas: Yes. And it was nice of Hiro to write to us.

Ash Ketchum: Is that what Hiro looks like?

Connor Lacey: Yes. A black tender engine with the number 51 on his tender.

Misty: Whoa. He looks really wise and kind.

Pikachu: Pika.

Aviva Corcovado: (noticing Shi La's little tears of joy) Aw, there there, sweetheart.

Shi La Won: I'm glad Hiro sent me this.

Fu Fu: (chitters)

Marco Polo: Maybe, you should write back to him.

Shi La Won: Perhaps I can. Soon though.

Norman Price: Right now, we need to focus on figuring out why Cadance is acting so strangely!

Spud the Scarecrow: Okay.

Thomas: OK, steamies, you stay with the Mane 5 while Percy and I go with Connor, Twilight and the others. We'll let you know if Cadance gives us any answers.

Steam Team: Okay, Thomas.

Connor Lacey: Let's go.

[The scene changes to a house where Shining Armor is putting on a badge on his chest when he heard a knock at the door. He answer it and Twilight and the others appeared there]

Shining Armor: Twily! Your big brother's looking pretty good, don't you think? Huh. Everything okay?

Twilight Sparkle: We need to talk. I think you're making a big–

Princess Cadance: [clears throat]

[They turn to see Cadance standing on top of the stairs, frowning at them]

Shining Armor: Oh, uh, hi, sweetie.

Twilight Sparkle: She sure has a way of sneaking up on people.

Violet Parr: Yep. No doubt it.

Princess Cadance: Could I speak to you for a moment, dear?

Shining Armor: Better see what she wants.

[He trot with Cadance into a room. Twilight and the others went over to the door and peeking through a gap, they can hear everything Shining Armor and Cadance are saying]

Princess Cadance: [muffled] Look, we need to talk.

Shining Armor: [muffled] I'm here to talk.

Princess Cadance: [muffled] It's about your sister, okay?

Shining Armor: [muffled] I– look, look, she's okay–

Princess Cadance: [muffled] Just... listen to me, (over Shining Armor) alright? No no–

Shining Armor: [muffled] I'm listening, I'm listening.

Princess Cadance: [muffled] I thought I made it perfectly clear I didn't want you to wear that.

Shining Armor: This was my favorite uncle's.

Princess Cadance: And?

Shining Armor: And I think I should wear it.

Princess Cadance: Are you disagreeing with me?

Shining Armor: I guess I am– Ah!

Princess Cadance: Oh, dear. Are you getting another one of your headaches?

[She uses her magic on Shining Armor's head, causing him to go all wonky-eyed. Twilight and the others got shocked by this. Shining Armor stands up]

Princess Cadance: Feeling better?

Shining Armor: [grunts] Mm-hmm.

Twilight Sparkle: She isn't just unpleasant and rude. She's downright evil!

Connor Lacey: We've gotta warn the others.

[They run outta the house just as Shining Armor and Cadance walk out of the room]

Shining Armor: Twilight!

Princess Cadance: Let her go.

Shining Armor: Huh. It seemed like she had something else she wanted to tell me.

[Princess Luna is watching the night when she saw Twilight and the Irelanders running towards the castle far below]

Princess Luna: Who goes there? Stay indoors, Twilight Sparkle and Irelanders.

[Twilight and the others run to the room where they knew their friends would be]

Twilight Sparkle: Shining Armor's in real trouble! You have to help–

Twilight's friends: [various chatter]

[Twilight's friends are wearing dresses]

Twilight Sparkle: Dresses? What are you–?

Fluttershy: Can you believe it? We're gonna be Princess Mi Amore Cadenza's new bridesmaids!

Dash Parr: Wait a minute, I thought Twinkleshine, Minuette and Lyra Heartstrings were her bridesmaids!

Applejack: She didn't say. But she did tell us that she would love-love-love it if we'd fill in for them.

Rarity: Seeing as we've been working so hard and everything.

Applejack: And you had your doubts about her.

Rarity: Told you she was an absolute gem!

James: [scoffs] As if.

Edward: Anything to report on Cadance?

Chris Kratt: Well, we happened to notice that her magic aura was green.

Marco Polo: She told Shining Armor she didn't want to wear his badge to the wedding.

Emily: Then what happened?

Brock: She put some sort of spell on him whilst he had a headache. His eyes went all wonky.

Toby: You mean like this? [makes his eyes go wonky]

Connor Lacey: Yes. That.

[The Mask laugh at the wonky eyes]

Misty: Mask, this isn't a laughing matter!

The Mask: I know but the wonky eyes is funny. A bit of comedy act there.

Finn McMissile: I know. But we need to stop that fake Cadance before she does something terrible.

Gordon: Indeed. What she did is disgraceful!

James: And disgusting!

Henry: Not to mention despicable!

Aviva Corcovado: That's the spirit guys!

Mewtwo: I never know you three say those D words a lot.

Henry: We used to and still do.

Connor Lacey: Yep. I like that.

Toby: We might have a problem for this situation.

Luigi Bellini: And what exactly is that?

Toby: Twilight's friends are not listening to what you guys are saying.

[They all look at Twilight's friends]

Rainbow Dash: You sure this is what I should wear? Doesn't seem all that aerodynamic.

Rarity: Hmm. I'll see what I can do.

Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy: [excited chatter and laughing]

[The gang just sighs and walks out with Twilight]

Twilight Sparkle: Looks like I really am on my own.

Connor Lacey: Twilight, you have us.

Thomas: Yes. We all are on our own.

Violet Parr: Yeah. We're with you you know.

Twilight Sparkle: Thanks guys.

Amelia: Now let's put together a plan so we can expose Cadance.

Ash Ketchum: Okay.

Dizzy: It's going to be difficult to get Twilight's friends to believe us, isn't it?

Buzzie: Yeah. So, what we gonna do?

Flaps: I don't know. Hey, now don't start that again!

Chris Kratt: Guys! No time for an argument.

Blade Ranger: He's right. We need a plan.

Fireman Sam: We'II think of one in the morning. Right now, we need to get some beauty rest.

Marco Polo: You're right, Sam. It's getting late anyway.

Percy: Good night, Thomas.

Thomas: Good night, Percy.

Connor Lacey: Good night, guys.

[They went off to find a place to sleep, unaware that a long silhouette of a figure with a big face and a metal mouth above his head is watching them before disappearing into the shadows. The scene changes to next morning at the wedding pavilion as the ponies, Princess Celestia, Shining Armor and Cadance practice the rehearsal]

Princess Celestia: Perfect, girls. No need to rush. Then of course, Cadance will enter.

[Wagner's "Bridal Chorus" plays]

Princess Celestia: I'll say a few words, and then we'll begin with the vows. Shining Armor, you'll get the ring from your best mare.

Spike: [deep voice] Do you? [high voice] I do!

Shining Armor: Hey... has anypony seen Twilight?

[The doors open to reveal Twilight and the Irelanders standing in the doorway]

Twilight Sparkle: I'm here! I'm not gonna stand next to her! And neither should you!

[Shining Armor got confused and anxious by this]

Shining Armor: I'm sorry, I... I don't know why she's acting like this.

Princess Cadance: Maybe we should just ignore her.

Twilight Sparkle: You have to listen to us!

Fluttershy: Oh, goodness! Are you okay?

Twilight Sparkle: I'm fine.

Applejack: Ya sure about that?

Twilight Sparkle: I've got something to say! She's evil!

[She points at Cadance. Shining Armor steps in front her defensively]

Rest of main cast: [concerned chattering]

Royal guard: [inaudible comment to other guard]

Connor Lacey: Twilight's right! She's been mean to her friends!

Shi La Won: Not only that, she's obviously done something to her old bridesmaids to have Twilight's friends take their places!

Fu Fu: (chitters)

Thomas: We're not joking here!

Twilight Sparkle: And if that wasn't enough, I saw her put a spell on my brother that made his eyes go all [bells jangling]!

[The ponies and Celestia look confused at this as Twilight gives a mean grin and corners Cadance]

Princess Cadance: [starts crying] Why are you doing this to me?!

Twilight Sparkle: Because you're evil!

Princess Cadance: [crying]

[Cadance ran out of the pavilion in tears]

Twilight Sparkle: Evil! And if I don't stop you, you're gonna ruin my brother's life!

[Rarity and Rainbow Dash look stunned at Twilight's behavior and the Irelanders agreeing with her. Twilight then bumps into Shining Armor who looks down at her crossly. She smiles sheepishly at him]

Shining Armor: You want to know why my eyes went all [bells jangling]? Nuh! Because ever since I started having to perform my protection spell, I've been getting terrible migraines. Cadance hasn't been casting spells on me. She's been using her magic to heal me!

Twilight Sparkle: [inhales]

[Twilight is about to speak her intentions but her brother cuts in]

Shining Armor: And she decided to replace her bridesmaids because she found out the only reason they wanted to be in the wedding was so that they could meet Canterlot royalty! And if she hasn't been on her best behavior with your [stomps hoof] friends, it's because with me being so busy, she's had to make all the decisions about the wedding!

Twilight Sparkle: I was just trying to–

Shining Armor: She's been completely stressed out because it's really important to her that our big day be perfect! Something that obviously wasn't important to you! [gasps] Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and comfort my bride. And you can forget about being my best mare. In fact, if I were you, I wouldn't show up to the wedding at all.

[The Irelanders gasp and Shining Armor walk out of the pavilion. The Mane 5 and Spike look at Twilight and the Irelanders crossly]

Applejack: C'mon, y'all. Let's go check on the princess.

[They head out of the pavilion followed by Celestia]

Twilight Sparkle: I was–

Princess Celestia: You all have a lot to think about.

[The steamies stay with Twilight and the Irelanders as Celestia leaves, slamming the doors]

Bob Parr/Mr Incredible: Well, that went poorly.

Aviva Corcovado: Yeah! Those traitors!

Fireman Sam: Hmm. Maybe we went a bit too far on accusing Cadance.

Marco Polo: You could be right. We need to find more evidence that she's the threat without getting mean again.

Connor Lacey: They didn't even ask if we wanted help!

Gordon: (by everyone cross at him, the others and Twilight for their actions) O, the indignity!

Tubb: If only we had more evidence.

Twilight Sparkle: Maybe I was being overprotective. I could've gained a sister. But instead... I just lost a brother.

[She stumps on the stairs and sing a sad reprise of Big Brother Best Friend Forever as she magic up mini versions of herself and Shining Armor prancing around a bit until he vanishes, leaving the mini Twilight sad and alone]
 * He was my big brother, best friend
 * Forever...
 * And now, we'll never do anything
 * Together...

Connor Lacey: Oh, Twilight.

[Twilight felt a hoof on her head and she open her eyes and look up to see Cadance looking down at her with a forgiving smile on her face]

Twilight Sparkle: I'm sorry!

[Cadance's eyes flash green before her smile turns into an angry scowl]

Princess Cadance: You will be.

[Then green flames rise around horrified Twilight and the Irelanders in fear and they pull them down through the floor while Cadance walks off with a evil grin on her face and the first part ends with a nightmarish disturbing cliffhanger, As the song “In the Dark of the Night” plays]


 * In the dark of the night, I was tossing and turning,


 * And the nightmare I had was as bad as can be,


 * It scared me out of my wits,


 * A corpse fallin' to bits,


 * Then I open my eyes and the nightmare was me!


 * I was once the most mystical man in all of Russia,


 * Ooh-ahh-ohh


 * When the royals betrayed me, they've made a mistake,


 * Ooh-ahh-ooh


 * My curse made each of them pay,


 * But one little girl got away,


 * Little Anya beware, Rasputin's awake!


 * In the dark of the night, evil will find her!


 * In the dark of the night, just before dawn!


 * Revenge would be sweet when the curse is complete!


 * In the dark of the night,


 * She'll be gone!


 * I can feel that my powers are slowly returning,


 * Tie my sash and a dash of cologne for that smell,


 * As the pieces fall into place,


 * I'll see her crawling to place,


 * Do Svidaniya, Anya, Your Grace!


 * Farewell!


 * In the dark of the night, terror will strike her!


 * Terror's the least I can do!


 * In the dark of the night, evil will brew! Ooh!


 * Soon she will feel that her nightmares are real!


 * In the dark of the night,


 * She'll be through!


 * In the dark of the night, evil will find her! Find her!


 * Ooh! In the dark of the night, terror comes true! Doom her!


 * My dear here's a sign, it's the end of the line!


 * In the dark of the night, in the dark of the night....


 * Come my, minions, rise for your master!


 * Let your evil shine!


 * Find her now!


 * Yes, fly ever faster!


 * In the dark of the night, in the dark of the night, in the dark of the night....


 * SHE'LL BE MINE!!!!!!!!

[The second part begins as the scene changes to Twilight, The Irelanders and The Steam Team in some caves as they turn on their lights to see where they are]

Twilight Sparkle: [echoing] Hello? Is anyone there?

Thomas: Fizzling fireboxes! Where are we?

Connor Lacey: I don't know, Thomas.

James: Could this day get any worse?

[Twilight bumps into a wall which has her reflection on it. Then Cadance's laugh echoes around the caves frightening the heroes and Twilight]

Twilight Sparkle: Where are we?

[Cadance's reflections appears on the walls]

Princess Cadance: ''The caves beneath Canterlot, once home to greedy unicorns who wanted to claim the gems that could be found inside. And now, your prison.''

Chris Kratt: What?!

Shi La Won: You are the threat! We knew it!

Fu Fu: (chitters)

Twilight Sparkle: Help! Help!

Princess Cadance: [laughing] ''It's no use. No one can hear you. And no one will ever think to look for you or your friends, either. Most ponies have forgotten that these caves even exist, which is why they are the ideal place to keep the ones who try to interfere with my plans.'' [laughing]

Twilight Sparkle: Plans? What plans?

Princess Cadance: The plans I have for your brother, of course.

Twilight Sparkle: Don't you dare do anything to my brother, you... you monster!

Connor Lacey: Yeah! When we get out of here and we will, we'll put an end to your evil scheme!

Princess Cadance: Only way to stop me is to catch me! [laughing] Over here! [laughing] Nope, over here![laughing]

[Twilight blasts the cave walls with magic as Cadance continues to laugh. She blasts a wall, causing it to burst open, revealing another Cadance]

Princess Cadance: No! Wait! Ugh!

[Twilight lunges at Cadance, pinning her down]

Princess Cadance: Please! Don't hurt me! (She open her eyes and look to see Twilight and the Irelanders) Twilight, it's me! Please, you have to believe me. I've been imprisoned like you and your friends. The Cadance who brought you all down here was an imposter.

Twilight Sparkle: Likely story!

Terence: Yes! We're not stupid!

Princess Cadance: Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake. Clap your hooves...

Twilight Sparkle and Princess Cadance: ...and do a little shake.

[Cadance smiles and Twilight's eyes widen as she realizes that she is the real Cadance]

Twilight Sparkle: You remember me!

Princess Cadance: Of course I do. How could I forget the filly I love to sit for the most? (seeing the Irelanders) Who are you guys?

Connor Lacey: I'm Connor Lacey. This is my team. The Irelanders.

Thomas: I'm Thomas, and my friend is called Percy.

Edward: I'm Edward.

James: I'm James.

Gordon: Gordon here.

Henry: I am Henry.

Toby: My name is Toby. I'm a steam tram engine.

Emily: I'm Emily.

Marco Polo: I'm Marco. This is Luigi, Shi La and our bet bat, Fu Fu.

Fireman Sam: I'm Fireman Sam. This is the Pontypandy Fire Service, Penny Morris, Elvis Cridlington, Tom Thomas and Station Officer Steele and the people of Pontypandy.

Tubb: I'm Tubb and this is Sploshy, Finbar, Terence, Winona, Reg and Amelia.

Princess Cadance: It's good to meet you.

Percy: So, if you're down here.......

Thomas: Then who in the world is the other one?

Princess Cadance: The other Cadance is an impostor, a Changeling in disguise.

Martin Kratt: A changeling? What kind of creature is that?

Princess Cadance: A changeling is a creature that feeds on love to gain power. They can also change their form to look exactly like somepony else. The Changeling who is disguised as me is their queen. Her name is Chrysalis.

Violet Parr: So she imprisoned you before we got here! That's why we thought she was you!

Elvis Cridlington: How could we be so dumb!

Mewtwo: We should have known!

Misty: She has us completely fooled!

Melody: Now what do we do?

[A evil laugh echoes through the caves. Cadance saw a eerie sparkle up ahead and her eyes widen, knowing that it might be a solution to their way out]

Twilight Sparkle: We have to get out of here. We have to stop her!

Connor Lacey: Right you are, Twilight!

[The laugh echoes as the two ponies and Irelanders run off. The scene changes to the room where the fake Cadance is getting ready for the wedding as This Day Aria plays in the background]

[Queen Chrysalis]
 * This day is going to be perfect
 * The kind of day of which I've dreamed since I was small
 * Everypony will gather 'round
 * Say I look lovely in my gown
 * What they don't know is that I have fooled them all!

[The real Cadance runs with Twilight and the Irelanders in the caves]
 * [Princess Cadance]
 * This day was going to be perfect
 * The kind of day of which I've dreamed since I was small
 * But instead of having cake
 * With all my friends to celebrate
 * My wedding bells, they may not ring for me at all…


 * [Queen Chrysalis]
 * I could care less about the dress
 * I won't partake in any cake
 * Vows, well I'll be lying when I say


 * That through any kind of weather
 * I'll want us to be together
 * The truth is I don't care for him at all


 * No I do not love the groom
 * In my heart there is no room
 * But I still want him to be all mine


 * [Princess Cadance]
 * We must escape before it's too late
 * Find a way to save the day
 * Hope, I'll be lying if I say


 * "I don't fear that I may lose him
 * To one who wants to use him
 * Not care for, love, and cherish him each day"


 * For I oh so love the groom
 * All my thoughts he does consume
 * Oh, Shining Armor, I'll be there very soon


 * [Queen Chrysalis]
 * Finally the moment has arrived
 * For me to be one lucky bride


 * [Princess Cadance]
 * Oh, the wedding we won't make
 * He'll end up marrying a fake
 * Shining Armor will be...


 * Queen Chrysalis: ...mine, all mine. [evil laugh]

[The scene changes to the pavilion where the wedding is starting]

Princess Celestia: Mares and gentlecolts, we are gathered here today to witness the union of [muffled] Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and Shining Armor.

[In the caves below, Twilight, Cadance and the Irelanders can hear what's going on]

Raven Queen: The wedding's started!

Princess Cadance: Oh, we're never going to save him.

Twilight Sparkle: We will. We just have to find... There!

[She saw a hole high above her on the ceiling]

Luigi Bellini: Uh-oh! Guys, look!

[They turn to see Twinkleshine, Minuette and Lyra Heartstrings approaching them with green glows in their eyes]

Minuette, Lyra Heartstrings, and Twinkleshine: You're not going anywhere.

[The scene changes back to the wedding where the wedding is about to finish]

Princess Celestia: Princess Cadance and Shining Armor, it is my great pleasure to pronounce you–

Twilight Sparkle: Stop!

[Princess Celestia, the ponies and the fake Cadance turns to see Twilight and the Irelanders standing in the doorway. Rarity hoof-palms while Rainbow Dash and Applejack look at each other and Spike looks down disappointed in this]

Queen Chrysalis: Ugh! Why does she have to be so possessive of her brother? (seeing Celestia looking at her in confusion, she breaks into tears) [sobbing] Why does she have to ruin my special day?

Princess Cadance: Because it's not your special day! It's mine!

[The real Cadance appears in the doorway. The guests look at the two of them in confusion]

Queen Chrysalis: What? But how did you escape my bridesmaids?

[Twilight, the Irelanders and Cadance give each other a slick smile. Earlier, they've been cornered by Twinkleshine, Minuette and Lyra Heartstrings who are under Queen Chrysalis' control]

Jimmy Z: How do we get past them?

Connor Lacey: I don't know.

[Then Cadance pulls out her bouquet of flowers and hold it in front of them and they look at it, transfixed. Then Cadance throws it off into a nearby dark cavern and the three dive after it]

Minuette, Lyra Heartstrings, and Twinkleshine: I want it!

[The scene changes back to the pavilion]

Queen Chrysalis: Hmph. Clever. But you're still too late.

Applejack: I-I don't understand. How can there be two of 'em?

Princess Cadance: She's a changeling. She takes the form of somepony you love and gains power by feeding off your love for them.

[The fake Cadance bursts into pure anger and flames and her pink wings break off to reveal blue bug wings, the legs revealed holes in them and her horn becomes bendy and longer with a pointy tip. Her disguise peels off to reveal her real self: Queen Chrysalis]

Queen Chrysalis: [laughing] Right you are, Princess. And as queen of the changelings, it is up to me to find food for my subjects. Equestria has more love than any place I've ever encountered. My fellow changelings will be able to devour so much of it that we will gain more power than we have ever dreamed of!

Princess Cadance: They'll never get the chance! Shining Armor's protection spell will keep them from ever even reaching us!

Queen Chrysalis: [chuckling] Oh, I doubt that. Isn't that right, dear?

Shining Armor: Mm-hmm.

[Cadance saw that Shining Armor is under Chrysalis' spell too. She runs to get to him but Chrysalis block her path]

Queen Chrysalis: Ah, ah, ah. Don't want to go back to the caves, now do you?

[Cadance step back and glares at Chrysalis]

Queen Chrysalis: But I didn't do it alone. I had help.

Connor Lacey: From who?

[Then Linda Ryan/The Shredderette appeared]

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: Like me, of course.

Connor Lacey: Linda Ryan!

Princess Cadance: You know her?

Connor Lacey: Yes. She's my evil stepmother who frames my mother for her crime of killing my father and
