Britt McKillip credited as playing...
Princess Cadance • Lyra Heartstrings
- Young Twilight Sparkle, Young Cadence: Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake! Clap your hooves and do a little shake!
- Twilight Sparkle: [Twilight comes to a rest on the steps of the wedding dais, and Princess Cadence joins her. Twilight has been crying after her song, and Cadence looks at her affectionately, rubbing the top of her head; Twilight speaks with pain her her voice] I'm sorry!
- Princess Cadence: [Cadence's eyes glow green for a brief moment, and then her demeanor takes on a an evil side, with an angry look on her face] You will be!
- [Cadence uses her horn to conjure up a ring of green fire around Twilight; she glares at Twilight and begins to walk away as Twilight slowly sinks below the surface of the ground before disappearing entirely]
- Princess Celestia: [at the wedding rehearsal] Perfect, girls. No need to rush! Then of course, Cadance will enter.
- [long pause while she does]
- 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: [pan to Spike, who instead of holding the ring pillow is playing with the cake topper figures again; deep voice] Do you?
- [high voice]
- Spike: I do!
- Shining Armor: Hey... has anypony seen Twilight?
- Twilight Sparkle: [bursts into the room] I'm here! I'm not gonna stand next to her. And neither should you!
- Shining Armor: [nervously, to everyone in the room and Cadence] I'm sorry, I don't, I don't know why she's acting like this.
- Princess Cadence: [coldly] Maybe we should just ignore her.
- Twilight Sparkle: You have to listen to me!
- Fluttershy: Oh goodness! Are you okay?
- Twilight Sparkle: I'm fine.
- Applejack: Ya sure about that?
- Twilight Sparkle: [Twilight pulls Applejack's hat down over her eyes and marches closer to the betrothed couple, pointing an angry hoof at them] I've got something to say! She's *evil*!
- [concerned chatter from everypony, and the guards at the door make an inaudible comment to each other]
- Twilight Sparkle: She's been horrible to my friends, she's obviously done something to her bridesmaids, and if that wasn't enough, I saw her put a spell on my brother that made his eyes go all _!
- [she makes a "crazy" head gesture with her eyes rolling around]
- Princess Cadence: [everyone else in the room looks at Twilight expectantly; Twilight gets up in Cadence's face and glares at her in a "Your move" grin. Cadence starts to cry] Why are you doing this to me?
- Twilight Sparkle: [Cadence runs out the door] Because you're evil!
- [Twilight teleports to the doorway after Cadence has run through it]
- Twilight Sparkle: Evil! And if I don't stop you you're gonna ruin my brother's life!
- [Rainbow Dash and Rarity share an awkward glance, Twilight turns around smugly with her eyes closed and walks right into her brother]
- Shining Armor: You want to know why my eyes went all _?
- [makes the "crazy" rolling eyes gesture; gets dizzy]
- Shining Armor: Nuh! Because ever since I started having to perform my protection spell, I've been getting terrible migraines. Cadence hasn't been casting spells on me, she's been using her magic to *heal* me! 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 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 her big day be perfect! Something that obviously wasn't important to *you*.
- [gasps, has another small headache, starts to walk out]
- Shining Armor: 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.
- Applejack: [Twilight sits dejected] C'mon, y'all. Let's go check on the princess.
- [they all pass her on their way out]
- Twilight Sparkle: [Princess Celestia follows them with a stern look on her face] I was...
- Princess Celestia: [icily] You have a lot to think about.
- [She leaves with the guards and they slam the doors behind them]
- Twilight Sparkle: [to herself] Maybe I was being overprotective. I could've gained a sister. But instead... I just lost a brother.
- Twilight Sparkle: [in Rarity's room, present day, while Rarity is sewing a dress] Oh, you should have seen how she acted back there. I don't know when she changed, but she changed!
- [imitating Cadance]
- Twilight Sparkle: "Please, call me Princess Mi Amore Cadenza."
- Princess Cadence: [walks in with three bridesmaids] Did I hear someone say my name?
- Rarity: [rushes to attention] 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 Cadence: [unenthusiastically] A-ha. 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!
- Princess Cadence: [looks at the dress on the mannequin; walks away] I was hoping for something with more beading and a longer train.
- Rarity: [writing on a notepad] Oh, yes, of course.
- Princess Cadence: [referring to the dresses for her bridesmaids, on three other dummies] And those should be a different color.
- Twinkleshine: I think they're lovely.
- Minuette: Me too!
- Lyra Heartstrings: I love them.
- Princess Cadence: [glares at them while facing away; to Rarity] Make them a different color.
- [Rarity gets back to work]
- Twilight Sparkle: [after Cadence and the others leave, to Rarity] Gee, maybe her name should be "Princess Demandy-pants."
- Pinkie Pie: Okay, let me see. We've been over the games...
- [rattles dice]
- Pinkie Pie: ... the dances...
- [a polka song plays from a record player]
- Pinkie Pie: I think this reception is gonna be perfect! Don't you?
- Princess Cadence: [happily] Perfect!
- [walks away, sullenly]
- Princess Cadence: ... if we were celebrating a six-year-old's birthday party.
- Pinkie Pie: [gasps, happy] Thank you!
