## Summary

### The wedding announcement

 File:Receiving a Message from Celestia S02E25.png   Olaf and Navi delivers a letter from Princess Palutena to Kairi Sparkle, Spectra Vondergeist, Sally Acorn, Nene Amano, Rapunzel, and Sheriff Mulan. In the letter, Princess Palutena asks Kairi and her friends to help with the upcoming royal wedding in Canterlot. Mulan will provide catering for the reception, Rapunzel will host it, Spectra will train and conduct the bird choir, Sally will perform a sonic acorn boom during the ceremony, and Nene will design the wedding dresses. Kairi receives the keystone job of overseeing the preparations.

Kairi is shocked to learn that the bride and groom are "Princess Mi Amore Rosetta" and Kairi's brother, Kaito. Kairi is upset because he never told her about his wedding or Princess Mi Amore Cadenza. In a song called B.B.B.F.F. ("Big Brother Best Friend Forever"), Kairi recalls how she and Kaito used to do everything together, and how much she misses him.

### Arriving at Canterlot

On the train ride to Canterlot, everyone except Kairi happily discusses the wedding, and only Mulan notices Kairi's glumness. Upon inquiry, Kairi says that she is still thinking about Kaito's neglect of her, though Mulan tells her not to worry.

 File:Shining Armor Consoles Twilight S02E25.png   At Canterlot, it is evident that there has been an increase in security: the train passes through a pink protective sphere encasing the city, there are many guards at the station, and Princess Palutena keeps watch with the aid of a telescope from the balcony of the highest tower. Kaito is happy to see his sister and affectionately calls her "Kai Kai.” Kairi immediately berates him for not telling her about the wedding, but Kaito explains that he had no choice and Princess Palutena wanted an increase in security in response to an exterior threat. Kairi concedes but remains hurt. Kaito reassures her that she has always been, and always will be, important to him, and asks her to be his Best Mare.

Kaito explains that Princess Mi Amore Rosetta is the full name of Rosalina, Kairi's former mammalsitter. Kairi proclaims her to be "beautiful, caring, and kind" and "the best mammalsitter ever.” A flashback shows that young Kairi and Rosalina used to frolic in the park, play on the swings, and resolve lovers' quarrels. Kairi remembers their chant:

*"Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake! Clap your paws and do a little shake!"*

 File:Reuniting With Cadance S02E25.png   Kairi sees Rosalina and eagerly reminds her of their chant. However, Rosalina fails to recognize it and proves indifferent to Kairi. Kaito announces that Rosalina will be monitoring the wedding planning. When he says that they are happy to have Kairi there, Rosalina smiles at Kairi malevolently.Template:Clr

### Directing the preparations

 File:Princess Cadance checking on the catering S02E25.png   Kairi begins overseeing the wedding preparations, starting in a castle kitchen Mulan has been provided. When Rosalina shows up to check the catering, Mulan offers her an apple fritter, which Rosalina insincerely calls "delicious.” Mulan gives Rosalina a bag of fritters in case she forgets to stop for a meal, but when Mulan turns around, Rosalina tosses the fritters into the trash.

Kairi, incensed by Rosalina's ingratitude, visits Rarity, who is working in the tower room she stayed at in Sweet and Elite. Kairi begins to describe Rosalina's temperamental behavior, but Rosalina arrives with her bridesmaids, (Naminé, Olette, and Selphie Tilmitt). Rosalina ignores Nene’s greeting and appraises her dress. She says that she was hoping for more beading and a longer train, and turns her attention to the bridesmaids' dresses. Displeased, she demands that Rarity make them in a different color, despite the fact that her bridesmaids love their dresses. Nene is more than happy to comply with the royal demands, but Kairi calls Rosalina "Princess Demandypants" when Rosalina is out of earshot. Tifa Lockhart has arrived and Kairi is having crush.

After nightfall, Rosalina meets Rapunzel inside the castle ballroom. Rapunzel presents her flamboyant reception plans, which include a board game, carnival music, and dancing. Rosalina compares the setup to a "party for a six-year old,” although Rapunzel is oblivious to the insult. Meanwhile, Kairi and Tifa has been eavesdropping on their exchange.

### Disbelief

 File:Trying to Reveal Cadance's True Colors S02E25.png   Princess Mal enters the shield and switches places with Princess Palutena on the tower balcony for the night. Meanwhile, the six friends Tifa, Navi, and Olaf are sipping drinks after a day of work. Kairi seizes the opportunity to find fault with Rosalina, calling her the "absolute worst bride-to-be ever.” However, her friends rationalize Rosalina's behavior. Spectra mentions that Rosalina criticized one of the choir birds during rehearsal, but the bird in question was off-key. The friends suggest that Kairi is still being excessively protective of her brother, but Kairi insists that her friends are too preoccupied with wedding preparations to notice Rosalina's attitude. Frustrated, she storms off.

### Talking to Kaito

 File:Cadance's 'Healing Spell' S02E25.png  Kairi visits her brother's house and tries to talk to him privately, but is interrupted by Rosalina, who is also intent on speaking with him. Kairi watches Rosalina scold Shining Armor about a crest he is planning to wear with his dress uniform, which belonged to his favorite uncle. Kaito protests and Rosalina swiftly casts a spell on him, making him to go wall-eyed. Frightened, Kairi runs away with Tifa. Kaito sees Kairi running off and wonders what she wanted to tell him.Template:Clr

### Attempting to warn everyone

Kairi runs to the castle to where her friends are staying. Her friends explain that Rosalina has chosen them to be her new bridesmaids, and they interpret it as a reward for their diligence and evidence of Rosalina’s good intentions. Nobody knows where the former bridesmaids are or listens to Kairi's warning. Kairi leaves, saying, "Looks like I really am on my own."

 File:Princess Rosalina & Kaito notice missing S2E25.png  The wedding rehearsal takes place the next day, but Kairi is not there. When Kaito turns to take his wedding ring, Kairi bursts into the wedding hall, proclaiming that neither she nor Kaito should stand next to Rosalina. Ignoring the inquiries of Spectra and Mulan, she approaches the podium and points at Rosalina, crying, "She's EVIL!" While aggressively cornering Rosalina, Kairi condemns Eosalina's behavior towards her friends, the sudden disappearance of the bridesmaids, and the spell she cast on Kaito.

Rosalina, bewildered by Kairi's accusations, runs away in tears. Kairi chases her out and proudly trots back into the hall. However, Kaito contradicts each of Kairi’s accusations. He claims that Rosalina's magic was intended to alleviate his migraines, which were caused by 24/7 maintenance of the protective magic barrier; Roaslina replaced her bridesmaids because of their apparently shallow motivations; and her brusque behavior towards Kairi's friends appeared to be due to the stress of having to make all of the decisions for the wedding in her groom’s absence defending Canterlot.

Kaito contrasts Rosalina's efforts with Kairi's apparent lack of concern for the wedding. He dismisses Kairi from her position as Best Fur and suggests that she not attend the wedding at all. Her friends and Princess Palutena also leave to check on Rosalina. Kairi is left in the wedding hall alone, where she laments the loss of a brother and a potential sister. She begins to doubt her opinion of Rosalina.

 File:Dark Secret Revealed S02E25.png   When Kairi is still in the hall, Rosalina appears and comforts her, stroking her mane affectionately. When Kairi apologizes, Rosalina's eyes turn green, and she says that Kairi *will* be sorry. Rosalina summons a ring of green fire, which engulfs Kairi in a sphere of energy. Rosalina walks out of the room as the sphere and Kairi sink into the ground.Template:Clr
