Collateral damage, every power fantasy's pesky inconvenient nightmare.

DM: It's a convincing scheme, but I guess it's up to Cadenza. Will Fluttershy's plan work?
Princess Cadance: Oh yes, absolutely. Her read is spot-on.
Shining Armor: Especially if Cadance is starting to get suspicious too.
Princess Cadance: Exactly. She's going to want Twilight's friends where she can keep a close eye on them, much like they want to be closer to her. Especially if they look "excited" at the "opportunity" to be a Princess's bridesmaids. It's a generous bribe! Would an evil Princess let a bunch of commoners join her wedding ceremony? The old bridesmaids will be… relocated.
DM: …Noted.
Pinkie Pie: Can't wait to rescue them later!
Fluttershy: Oh. Heh heh. Whoops…
Applejack: Big picture, Flutters, big picture.
