Enjoy :)

It was silent for a few seconds.

Rainbow laughed nervously.

"Um AJ??. Are you okay??".

Rainbow walked up to her, but Applejack backed away.

"Don't", she said. "I know for a fact you're not mah Rainbow".

Rainbow rolled her eyes. She crossed her arms.

"Aj. You've been acting weird lately. Like, for month".

Applejack was taken back.

"Me??. You're the weird one", she said. "You've been doin' things ya wouldn't normally do or say. You completely ignore yir mom's wishes which isn't like you at all. You love yir mom more than anyone else in the entire world".

Rainbow placed a hand on her hip.

"So??. She won't mind if I change my mind. I'm aware that I promised her alot of stuff when it came to is getting married. But she's not gonna know if I keep them or not. She's gone".

Applejack couldn't believe Rainbow said that without even blinking or cringing.

"You're not Rainbow", she said. "Now who are you??".

Rainbow smirked. "Fine. You figured it out. I'm not Rainbow Dash".

Rainbow's eyes glowed. Suddenly a black mist rose around her. The thick mist surrounded her, engulfing her. When the mist fell, everyone gasped. A pale woman stood there, smirking evilly. The woman had raven black hair and her eyes glowed aquamarine. She wore a black dress with black leggings. She also had sharp edged wings with holes in them.

"Well well well".

The woman laughed. "I see you've figured me out before we said our vows".

Applejack growled. "Who are you??. You're a changelin', ain't cha?".

The other woman placed a hand on her hip.

"You got that on the first try", the changeling woman said. "I'm Crystal".

She looked Applejack up and down.
"Rainbow has good taste in women".

Applejack was ready to pounce on her when a hand stopped her. Applejack turned her head to see Jackson standing there.

"Applejack", he said. "Calm down".

Applejack turned to face him.

"Calm down??", she said. "This woman slash thing was pretendin' ta be Rainbow for celestia knows how long and ah almost married her".

"If only you hadn't noticed anything", Crystal spoke up.

Applejack turned and faced her with a hard and cold look. The changeling sighed.

"I guess I didn't research enough about Rainbow before springing my plan into action".

"What plan??", Pinkie asked, stepping beside Applejack, the others not far away.

"Changelings feed off of love", the woman said. "These two one of the most strongest love connections I've felt in a long time. After marrying Applejack, I planned on killing Rainbow and pretending to be her until Applejack was under my spell. Then I'd destroy two elements of harmony at once by killing you too".

"Where is she??", Applejack asked. "There's no point in hidin' her any longer if yir plan didn't work".

The changeling woman cackled.

"Oh Applejack. This is why I like you. You only care about Rainbow's safety more than your own. How touching. Don't you know anything about changeling stealing love powers??".

Applejack raised an eyebrow. She looked at Twilight.

"Twi. You're an expert on magic. What's she talkin' about??".

Twilight looked at her, a look of horror on her face.

"It's just like the movie barbie swan lake", she said.

Applejack rolled her eyes. "Are you serious right now??. This ain't time fir".

"Hold on a second", Rarity said.

The women looked at her.

"She's on to something".

Applejack looked at Twilight.

"Alright. Tell me".

Twilight crossed her arms and began.

"It's true love", she said. "In the movie, Odette and the prince, Daniel, fall in love. Odette has a magic crystal that protects from the magic powers of the villain. But......".

Applejack moioned for her to continue. Twilight bit her lip.

"But the villain uses his powers and gets his daughter to pretend to be Odette. The prince saw only Odette when he looked at her. Daniel didn't suspect a thing and declared his love for her at the ball and asked her to marry her".

"Then what happened??", Pinkie asked.

Twilight sighed. "Then the powers of the crystal is gone and the villain could kill her of he got the chance which he did. He killed Odette and Daniel when they were together again. Daniel realized he had been tricked but it was too late. He alredy had declared his love for the villain's daughter. They only were dead for a minute or two in the movie and they all lived happily ever after. But since this is real life.....".

"Very good, your highness", Crystal said.

They all looked at her. The woman smirked.

"Honestly. Great summary. But this is a little different".

"How??", Applejack asked.

The woman looked at her.

"Well Jackie. Changelings feed off their prey's love and take the place of one of them. The one who gets replaced, if their still alive, gets put under a spell. Once the other declares their undying love for that changeling, then the real person slowly dies".

Applejack gasped in horror. Dies??. Was Rainbow still alive??. Was she hurt?. Afraid??.

Applejack marched up to the woman, seeing red. She grabbed the woman by her collar.

"Where is Rainbow??".

The woman laughed. "What does it matter??", she asked.

She shot a ball of magic. Applejack flew back with a yell. She hit the floor, the air knocked out of her.

"Applejack!".

The girls rushed to her side.

"Are you okay??", Twilight asked, kneeling down.

Applejack looked up at Crystal.

"You'll never see her again", Crystal declared before cackling.

Applejack's face fell in devastation. The woman stood up. She looked at the changeling woman.

"Please", she begged. "Where is she?. If she's gonna die, ah wanna at least be there if she's still alive".

Crystal shrugged. "She's alive. I visited her yesterday in the dungeon where I'm keeping her. She's looking quite sick now. I remember hearing her cry when I told her today was the wedding. I've never seen a more a heartbreaking look".

She smiled. "It made me feel good inside".

"You're twisted", Jackson said. "Killing people, breaking true love apart to gain power from it".

The woman smirked. "Isn't it deliciously evil. It was fun while it lasted".

She sighed with a smile. "But I'll let you see her one last time. She's being held in the dungeon of the abandoned castle of the two sisters".

"But that's in the Everfree forrest", Applejack said. "No one goes there".

Crystal smirked. "But you'll go anyway, right??".

Applejack gave a firm nod.

"Yeah. Even if it means Rainbow dies anyway. Ah need ta see her again".

Crystal spread her wings.

"Well it was nice knowing you, but-".

Suddenly a magic aura surrounded her, freezing her in place.

"What the??", she said. "I can't move!!".

"Good", Twilight said.

Everyone looked at her. Twilight had an extended hand out towards the changeling woman.

"You're not going anywhere", she said.
Guards finally came and took the woman away. It was quiet. The Apple family and the others whispered among themselves.

Applejack stood there for a moment.

She couldn't believe this just happened. Today was a nightmare come true. She turned and looked at her friends.

"Ah can't believe.......".

Applejack walked over to the stairs of the alter and sat down, shock on her face.

The others looked at eachother. They walked over to her and sat down.

"Don't worry", Twilight said. "We'll find her".

"Yeah", Fluttershy said. "We will. We always do".

"Well now what??", Pinkie Pie asked, looking to Applejack for the call.

Applejack didn't think twice before she answered.

"We're goin' to the Everfree forrest. Let's find Rainbow Dash".

"I can stay here", Jackson said.

The group looked at him. He knelt down beside them.

"You girls go change and go find Rainbow. Everfree isn't too far away from here. Go get Rainbow. I'll talk to everyone and send them home. Be careful".

Applejack stood up and looked at her dad.

"Some weddin' this turned out ta be".

Jackson sighed. "I know. But I know you'll find her. I can only hope there's a way to save her when ya do find her".

He placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Just remember. True love conquer all".

Applejack nodded. "Ah'll keep that in mind. Thanks, Dad".

The man hugged her.

"I'm sorry your wedding day was ruined".

Applejack sighed. "Ah can't believe she's been replaced by an imposter fir months and no one noticed a thing".

Jackson pulled away. He looked at Applejack.

"Speaking of her, she needs you right now. Go and change clothes and head off. If things go wrong on the way there, you should be back by morning at the most".

"Wait", the mayor suddenly said.

The group looked at her. The woman walked up to Applejack. She held out one of the rings.

"Here. Take this and her ring as well. If she's still alive, I'm sure she'd want to see it".

She handed Applejack the other ring. Applejack looked down at the two golden rings in her hand. She was going to find Rainbow Dash. No matter what.

Applejack nodded. She looked up at her friends.

"Let's go".

So yeah. Off they go to find Rainbow Dash. Let me know what cha thought of this part. I won't make this a many chaptered story. Only a few long chapters because then I have to go camping on Friday until Monday so I'm trying to finish this before I'm gone for three to four days without WiFi. But still tell me your thought on this :) I'll update as soon as I can!
