‘Came with the Castle’ was just putting it lightly. The last thing Princess Cadence wanted to do was admit that her obedient bodyguard had actually_*tackled_* Shining Armor after she was freed from the tyrannical rule of King Sombra. Serving as his head of the Sombra Guard appeared to be not something done by her own free will, but a desire for leadership and purpose ran through Undyne veins, so much so that upon being pried off Shining Armor by Princess Cadence herself, Undyne professed to serve the Alicorn from that day forward.
It wasn’t a matter of prestige or loyalty, Undyne simply assumed Cadence was the one wearing the_*pants_* in the relationship.
Despite her Objections to such a thing, Undyne was indeed fiercely committed! Proclaiming that through blood, rain or even a particularly muggy day, Undyne the Undying would serve her and her spacious Relationship pants fervently all day,_*everyday_*, protecting her from assassination, or assimilation, or kidnapping or hay, even a party-cannon ambush from a loud, pink abomination that will certainly not evade the swift spear of justice a second time, no matter how many _*military officials, Frantic Purple Unicorns obsessed with friendship_* or _*sisterly deities_* say otherwise!
“THAT PUPPY COULD HAVE BEEN A STALKER, I SHOULD KNOW, THE GREAT DOGGO UPRISING GAVE US PLENTY OF REASONS TO BECOME A CAT LOVER!!” Undyne bellowed, shaking passing windows as she chortled up a storm, barring yellow fangs and sending a nearby gathering of teenagers running to the hills. Princess Cadence pressed a finger to her brow, sighing deeply as her bags levitated by her side.
The two couldn’t have been more of a mixed couple, even if they wanted to. Undyne stood tall in over a hundred and fifty pounds of steel plates, chainmail, battle-hardened leather gloves and boots, a flowing cape and wielding a notable Spear that could strike fear into even the most fevered Changeling. Standing at her side, Cadence wore a simple day-scarf, an elegantly stitched blouse, a flowing skirt and two-thousand bit knee-high platform boot’s, whose heels clicked harmlessly over the ancient cobblestone roads of the Crystal Empire. Although, it was hard to hear them over the heavy pounding of Undyne’s own footsteps, clanking armor and…_*boisterous pitch_*!
_ *“Undyne...”_* Cadence Curtly nodded, maintaining her mirthful tone to ease the surrounding tension. “Indoor voices, _*please_*.”
“WE ARE OUTSIDE, I DO NOT NEED TO BE CONTAINED BY SUCH A PROVERBIAL PRISON OF-” Undyne bit her lip as her usually upbeat demeanor wavered slightly. Blinking her one good serpent eye a few times, Undyne nodded in response. “I… shall contain my excitement if it means the future of our outing is both safe and...” Undyne’s bottom lip quivered briefly as she cast her gaze away to hide her disappointment._*“Uneventful...”_
*
“_Uneventful_ is not a negative trait for a glorious day quite like this!” Princess Cadence explained in a reassuring tone. “One does not solve a simple grievance by snapping a stallions spine in two-”
“-I_*did_* solve a simple grievance! He couldn’t just walk away from kidnapping Daring Do! Both Figuratively and _*literally_*!” Unyne Chortled, banging the blunt end of her spear into the cobblestone streets as she walked.
“-_*OR_*, find boredom in the peace and tranquility of Modern Equestria!” Princess Cadence interrupted curtly, her tone condemning. As much as the Stallion may have deserved it, it would have been wise to avoid violence, had he not gestured that _*weapon_* in Rainbow Dash’s general direction. Despite a certain Rainbow-Maned Pegasus finding a new idol (and a new hankering for Fish-Sticks), Princess Cadence had to find a way to tame a Pony who was born and raised in a time of strife and war to refrain from committing such horrific acts of violence
_
*Especially_* if said Pony was stuck to Princess Cadence like glue!
“Modern Equestria could use more suplexing completions, if you ask me...” Undyne huffed, her single eye narrowing lethargically. “I have been trying these_*reformation_* lessons _*Purple Smart_* is so renowned for, and I personally feel I have made progress in her studies! Especially during _*cooking_* class!” Undyne grinned, baring her sharp teeth as she chuckled to her own success.
“I wouldn’t call_*destroying_* the kitchen progress!”
“But wasn’t my seared trout delightfully_*mouthwatering_*!?”
Cadence opened her mouth to retort, but quickly quickly closed it, nodding in agreement briefly. “You are improving. I’ll give you that. I might add, your vocabulary has significantly improved since our trip into Canterlot. It’s been quite awhile since you last uttered_*loser_* or _*punk_* in the same sentence!”
“I wasn’t_*entirely_* spacing out during your many long talks of etiquette you know!” Undyne chortled, passing a wink to Princess Cadence, who giggled in response.
“You still have plenty to learn-”
“-I’m doing so one giant fishy step at a time-”
“-This is not an observation, this is a_*command_*!” Princess Cadence held back her own mirth at the sight of Undyne the Undying straightening her stance and puffing out her chest.
“What is it that you desire,_*m’lady_*?” Undyne murmured, her grip tightening on her spear.
“Enjoy the day!” Princess Cadence chirped happily before blowing a playful raspberry to Undyne. “It will not be long before modern Equestrian technology trickles into the Kingdom, so I’d like to enjoy as much of the city sights before the inevitable changes the landscape of the Empire we know so well.”
“Will I be needed to safeguard The Crystal Empire against this technological threat to our way of life!?” Undyne raised her voice, readying her spear for action.
“There will be no need, it will be a peaceful transition. Technology can help ponies in any walk of life just as it could easily inflict harm. The trick is to ease change, not force it! It can help one to cook, it may help one find solace-” Cadence, Princess of love, passed an adoring wink to Undyne. “-It may even help somepony find_*true love_*.” Undyne’s cheeks grew a light shade of pink as she tried to avert her eyes to the side, puffing out her cheeks as she focused on the sound of chirping birds and her clanging armor to ease the tension. It wasn’t a secret that Cadence knew of Undyne’s intimacy with a particular basement dwelling _*scientist_* and her dweeby anime obsessions.
“Then I shall help in this technological transition! I am at your command!”
“-If it is required, then I shall heed your call to arms in such an endeavor.” Princess Cadence tilted her horn, beckoning her bodyguard to follow as her shopping bags shifted. “For now, follow me on this walk and enjoy this uneventful day! I have a few more stops before calling it a day, and I would appreciate it if you give the store an opportunity to let in customers every once in a bluemoon! I was only kidnapped_*once_*, Undyne!” And with that, Undyne remained at ease. Princess Cadence waltzed through the crowds of friendly Crystal Ponies who happily went about their day, some of the more loyal of her Countryponies even bowed in her presence. After awhile, Undyne began to lessen her grip on her spear as the sun crept across the sky. Maybe just enjoying an uneventful day wasn’t as boring as she initially thought.
_ ***Vroom Vroom*_

Undyne blinked, stamping her boot into the cobblestone sidewalk with such ferocity it cracked under her steel-plated foot.
_ *“Undyyyne...”_* Princess Cadence murmured. “Ease yourself! Whatever that was-”
“-Will taste my SPEAR of JUSTICE-”
“They will taste no such thing!”
“Okay… then they will taste my_*fish-sticks_*, but they don’t deserve _*tartar sauce_*-!”
“Now now now, Undyne! There is no need for such cruelty!”
*_**BROOM BROOM_*

Princess Cadence whipped her head to the side, her gaze planted firmly on the heavy metal object at the end of the road, barreling toward her at high speed! Her boot heel catching on a crack in the road, the Alicorn gasped as she stumbled back, her bags clattering to the ground as the slick contraption growled in response. Thinking quickly, Princess Cadence steadied her horn, ready to avert the metal beasts direction-”
_ *“NGGAAAAAHHH!!”_* Undyne Roared with such ferocity it rattled Princess Cadence’s own equilibrium, just as a heavy spear slammed into the hood of the metal beast-
-Followed by another
-And another
-AND ANOTHER
Cadence cried out in horror as spear after spear riddled the beast, it’s front wheel gasping for air as it’s heavy rim locked in place, having been gored through the fender. Sparks and smoke bellowed from the heart of the contraption as it slowed to a crawl, grinding to a halt in a whimper as the engine rattled it’s last before sputtering out one final chortle of life.
