Oh hey. Thread is a day early.

I have returned from my travels, and have some of my continuing story ready to go.

Oh, and there is an IRC channel for inter-thread bullshitting. #bugpone on rizon.

I'll shortly be continuing from http://pastebin.com/SPV2KMQA

Ch.6

>The summer continued to be quite pleasant.
>Lavender elected to move into your place, considering it is nicer than the tiny place she had been staying in.
>You and Lavender have become known around town as the seemingly perfect cute couple.
>Lavender is the most wonderful pony you have ever met, and she has taken to living on close quarters, knowing your true nature, very well.
>You are well fed, and life is good.
>After two months, one morning, Lavender finds a scroll dropped in through your abode's mail slot.
>"Honey, this letter is adressed to you, Pine Fresh."
>She brings it to you as you are preparing some breakfast, primarily for her.
>You look at the seal, and the sender.
>Your contact to the hive.
>They have sent a response to your request.
>You finish up your breakfast preparations, and then open and look over the scroll.
>Lavender chows down, and watches you as you are reading the scroll.
>The visible letter is just some simple meaningless drivel, much like the letters you send to your contact.
>The secret message, visible to changelings only, however, contains the true communication sent to you.
>Your eyes open wide as you take in what the message says.
>Lavender notices your change in demenor.
>"What's wrong Ik'thik? Is everything alright?"

I'm back but because of Fallout I have little done in the line of writing. I'll try to find time to post what I have of Kalumnia's non-greentext adventure when I get home tonight. Hopefully I'll have time with the long weekend to write some more.

What does everyone think about http://www.fimfiction.net/story/299781/changeling-courtship-rituals ?

I'm cautiously hyp to see if the author does the rest of the ponies reactions as fun as Twilight's. Them slow updates tho.
>>
>>25535327

I... Am not entirely sure what to make of this, Lavender.
>Nervous, excited, worried... All these emotions are racing through your mind as you try to comprehend the message.
If I am understanding this message correctly, we are going to have a visitor.
From the Swarm.
>Lavender's violet eyes open wide, shocked at this news.
Tommorow.
>You feel a sudden surge of fear, and a slight twinge of excitement, from Lavender.
>"Wh-wh-why would we be getting a visitor from your... family, on such short notice?"
Umm... Security.
>"Why would such short notice be secure?"
Because when itineraries are kept secret until the last minute, it makes one harder to track when you don't want to be tracked.
>"Who would visit that needs such..."
>Lavender's jaw drops as the realisation hits her.
>You stare intently at the letter while you answer Lavender.
Mom's coming for a visit.
>>
>>25535374

>"Surely, you don't mean..."
Chrysalis. Yes. She has decided to allow my request to speak with her privately, and apperantly is coming to me rather than requiring me to visit her.
>"Tommorow?"
Yes.
>Lavender's fear intensifies.
>"Oh my... Oh dear... I'm not ready to meet your queen..."
Calm down, Lavender... It'll be alright. She is very understanding.
>You sigh.
Surely, she will understand.
>You then shrug.
Atleast tommorow is a day off work.
>"But, with that visit... working today is gonna be tough. Working distracted is always risky."
Indeed. But, I think we can manage. The townhouse is already nice and clean, so thats something to not worry about.
>"That isn't what is worrying me. Chrysalis is a major fugitive of Equestrian Law. Coming here!"
Lavender, that's why she travels secretly, even amongst the swarm. And that whole law thing is... just a big misunderstanding.
>A misunderstanding from a poorly researched, then horribly botched operation, but still...
>Lavender rolls her eyes.
>"Let's not discuss that again."
>Probably for the best.
>The Canterlot incident is a touchy topic for both ponies and changelings to speak of.
>>
>>25535400

>You munch a little bit on some fruit, and Lavender eats some oatmeal.
>You are loathe to admit it, but you are also incredibly worried about Chrysalis coming to visit you in the field on such short notice.
>Since you sent your initial letter, you have spent some time thinking how you would talk to your queen about the situation at hand.
>You still haven't settled on the best approach, so within the next day, you had best figure one out.
>After a few minutes, Lavender stands up.
>"Well, anyway, time for work. Let's make it a good one today, Piney."
>You shake your head, coming out of some deep thinking.
Yeah, you are right. Let's head out.
>The both of you grab the random things you need for the day, and head out the door, and walk to camp #4.
>It's shifted around slightly since the start of the summer, a little further away to keep the heavy equipment closer to where the cutting action is.
>As you approach, you both nod to your coworkers.
>They each smile, and nod back.
>You don your safety equipment, and head out to your assigned spot to begin your tree cutting for the day.
>>
>>25535420

>Tell Chrysalis immediately, directly...
>Ease her into talking about Lavender...
>Make something up and pretend that was what you wished to personally tell her...
>Fuck.
>All of those are horrifying in their own way.
>All these thoughts, and their possible outcomes, fly through your mind between guiding trees safely to the ground.
>Making something up will likely make you look like a fool.
>And speaking the truth at all terrifies you.
>You sigh, and mutter under your breath.
Surely, she will understand...
>Your attention is then drawn to the tree about to fall.
>You snap your magic to it, and make sure it lands in the most ideal spot.
Gotta keep your head in the game...
>Lavender allows her chainsaw to rev down, then turns it off.
>"You OK, Piney? I know you have a lot on your mind, but please, lets not get anypony hurt out here."
>You let out a sigh.
Yeah, Lavender, I know, but this whole thing is really throwing me off. It's not how I expected this to be shaping up.
>"I know, but I'm sure it'll work out. You said your family is loving and understanding, right?"

That's what I have prepared for now. Will hopefully have more to post later today and going on this holiday week.

Adapting to Change

The daylight was fading as Kalumnia wandered down the railroad tracks. The only sounds about him were that of his own hoofsteps and the cold wind rustling the leaves stuck to the tracks by small patches of snow and ice. The cold had come to this place but had not taken the land as it had the home he left.
As the light of day faded further he could see the dim glow of a town ahead in the overcast sky. He had been keeping his distance from the pony settlements and he was getting hungry. It hadn't seemed like it had been that long but he was getting weak now and knew that if he didn't feed soon, he would be at the mercy of whoever might find him next.
Kalumnia had been at the top of his class in all forms of seduction, deception, and transformation. Few changelings could match his prowess and yet he had been brought to shame by his younger brother, a broken changeling named Anon who couldn't even transform.
Kalumnia had only tried in his eyes to save his younger brother from his own misguided feelings, but in the end it was he who had fallen victim to his emotions. Anger had overcome the elder changeling. So much so that he had been ready to spill the blood of both his brother and the mare whom had led him astray. But Chrysalis did not see it as a betrayal. And when she had fully realized Kalumnia’s intentions… How close he had come to murdering his own brother, she stripped him of his authority and ordered him to report to Amethyst for a new assignment.
>>
>>25540255
He never did report to his sister for that assignment. Chrysalis hadn't said anything about exile but Kalumnia knew that it would only be fitting. His home had changed and he could no longer see where he fit into it all. So… he left. Without a plan, direction, or word to anyone, he walked away from his home into a cold and lonely world.
Kalumnia took on the form of a white pegasus mare as he made his way closer to the small town. He hated taking on female forms. He found them to be uncomfortable but they did have their advantages. Males were far easier prey. With little effort, Kalumnia knew that he could lure a stallion into a secluded room and feed.
The trees parted from the railway to reveal the coastal village near the Celestia Sea. Sunny Shore was its name. On this day, and indeed at this time of year the town was anything but sunny. The rain fell slowly at first but grew in intensity. Drops began to freeze where they struck, layering the trees and buildings in a sheet of ice.
The sound of the rain was all that could be heard in the empty streets. Kalumnia had at first thought that perhaps the town had been abandoned before he spotted the soft glow of the tavern sign. Few places in Equestria had electricity. In all truth this was the first Kalumnia had ever seen of it. Bright lights and modern marvels were a sight more suited for the big cities like Manehattan and Las Pegasus. Even Canterlot seemed to shun the decadence of electricity for the most part.
He checked over his assumed form and with a grimace started toward the tavern. “The Trough”, Kalumnia read aloud from the sign partly to make sure he had correctly altered his voice. It didn't seem like a particularly well kept building. It wasn't exactly shabby either. It was more the sort of place that if not for its few lights would blend easily into the background.
>>
>>25540264
Off tones of an ameture band playing in the far corner assaulted Kalumnia ears as he pushed past the swinging door. They weren't overly loud but the adolescents clearly had a few things to learn about measure and harmony.
Kalumnia was relieved to be out of the rain but quickly felt his hopes crush as he got a good look around the dimly lit room. Of what he had hoped to be a buffet of lonely and desperate stallions, he could only see four stallions at all. Of the four, there were two who were clearly too old to be of any use, and another sitting with a mare, both of which seemed to be trying a bit too hard to be supportive of the subpar band. The last one however… An olive green pegasus with a short cut white mane sat alone staring into a near empty glass.

This is all I have written for now. Hopefully I will be able write more tomorrow night.

Light content bump while I prepare for the holiday.

Still, our situation is highly unusual. I love my Queen, and she loves each of us, but such an arrangement is... possibly dangerous.
>Lavender rolls her eyes, but you sense a twinge of worry from her as she restarts her chainsaw.
>"Everything will be fine."
>You shake your head, and prepare to continue your job.
>Unpleasant thoughts still cloud your mind, however.
>You manage to get to lunch time without anymore work stoppages.
>Lunch is as usual. Small talk with the rest of the ponies who work at the camp.
>All of them are ready for the weekend.
>Lavender and yourself...
>Not so much.
>The pony you met on the train up to Cloudcrop, Sawin' Steve, questions you.
>"So, Pine Fresh, what are you and Lavender planning for this weekend?"
>Your face twitches a little bit.
I, uhhh... Have some family coming to visit. Going to be busy with that the whole weekend, I think.
>"Some family to come meet Lavender, eh?"
Something like that.
>"Well, too bad. There was gonna be a nice party at the saloon this weekend."
>Lavender interjects
>"Family is important, Steve. Everypony knows that."
>"Maybe you could bring the family to the saloon." Steve responds
We'll see.

>The afternoon proceeds much as the morning.
>Distractions from thinking upon how to proceed.
>You manage to finish the work day without getting anyone killed through your innatention.
>After returning to the camp, and stowing your equipment, you bid farewell to your coworkers, and return to your home, with Lavender.
I'm still not sure how to handle tommorow, Lavender... I don't want anything to go wrong and mess everything up.
>"I'm sure whatever you do, everything will work out."
>You mutter under your breath.
Surely, she will understand...
>Lavender throws you a worried look, with a twinge of similar emotion.
>You both enter the townhouse, and you settle down on the couch, dropping your disguise with a green flash, and putting your head down into your hooves.
>Lavender sets her things down on the kitchen table, then joins you on the couch.
>You feel a burst of love, as Lavender snuggles up against you.
>It calms your heart, but it is good Lavender cannot feel emotions as you can...
>You are filled with fear, worry, and despair over how tommorow is going to be handled.

>You put a strong face on, and return Lavender's embrace.
It has been a while since I have seen my Queen personally.
>"I can only imagine somepony so important might be difficult to speak with privately. I've only ever seen one of my Princesses in person, and have never spoken with any of them."
>You shrug.
I suppose so. I was thinking about tommorow though. I think that at first, it might be best if you spend some time away from the townhouse, so I can inform my Queen of you more gently.
>You sigh.
I don't think a situation like our's has happened in a dozen or more generations. I want to be cautious about telling her.
>"I understand, Ik'thik... I know if you meet any of my family, some of them might be offended on account of you looking like a unicorn..."
>You nod.
Yes... I've found ponies can be strange like that, Lavender.
>You bow your head.
I hope my Queen will be better than that... understanding this situation we are in.
>"Everything you've said tells me she is caring and loving of her subjects."
>"Surely, she will understand, Ikky."
>She really believes it or is damn good at hiding her emotions.

>The confidence you felt from Lavender improves your mood.
>She is right.
>Everything WILL be OK.
>You prepare some simple food and, set it out on the kitchen table.
Food, Lavender.
>She moves from the couch, and takes a seat at the table.
>"Thanks. I think I might go for a nice walk tomorow morning while... "Mom" comes to visit."
That's a good way to spend some time... Walking through the parts of the forest that aren't being cut everyday, heh.
>"Yeah, it'll be nice to get out and enjoy the peak of the summer weather... It should only start getting cooler from here on out, I reckon."
>You pause to think for a moment.
>It has never really gotten all that hot up here in the mountains.
>You chuckle slightly.
>Maybe thats why Chrysalis wished to come visit you in person, here in Cloudcrop.
>Probably some of the nicest weather in all of Equestria right now.
>Even so, having her come here has been hell on your mind since this morning.
I think I just need to rest, Lavender, I am going to lay down.
>Lavender looks up from eating.
>"Alright, hun. I'll probably come to bed soon as well. This has been a pretty rough week for me as well."
>You crawl into your bed, close your eyes, and enjoy a night of suprisingly restful sleep.

>Fizzles, NotScribble
Kind of around.

>Wolfkrone, WriterOfStuff
Disappeared more recently.

Hello!

I’ve been writing a story for a while now. I'd started posting it in another thread, which ironically was intended for CMC stories. But I had a concept idea, and with only 3 posts it gained enough positive feed back for me to keep going with it. Despite being rather irrelevant to the other CMC stories being posted there.

Now I've decided to continue posting it here, which makes more sense because it's centered around 3 Changeling characters. For those of you who want the entire story thus far, here's the pastebin:

http://pastebin.com/HDRN9TNr

>>25549301
For everyone here who's new to the story, here's a not-so-brief summary of what's happened so far.

> Ponies eagerly await the late night grand opening of Rose, Lily, and Daisy's new store.
> Every pony is shocked to discover it's actually a sex shop run by three Changelings.
> Melyrid (female, long hair), Thespid (female, short hair), and Agraul (male, no hair).
> Reactions are far from positive, but Melyrid manages to prevent the crowd from turning violent.
> No customers for the shop on the first night, but the grand opening sale lasts for a week.

> The next morning, the main six arrive to kick ass!
> Melyrid offers to let them all search the shop to prove their sincerity, Twilight goes in alone.
> Twilight finds no evidence of evil doings, but is incredibly embarrassed by the stuff they're selling.
> Main six leave without a fight.
> Agraul has a heart to heart with Twilight, unknowingly convincing her that they deserve a chance to prove they're not evil.
> Melyrid makes friends with Rarity, and even convinces her to make sexy outfits for their shop.
> Thespid challenges Rainbow Dash to a race.
> After some suspicious shenanigans from Thespid, Rainbow Dash wins the rematch, but trashes her own house in the process.
> Twilight goes around Ponyville quashing the rumor mill, hoping to prevent any angry mobs from running the Changelings out of town before it’s proven that they’re actually evil.
> Pinkie Pie is super eager to check out the new store, and meet all the Changelings.
> She invites her friends to join her, but no takers.
> That night the sex shop gets 4 customers; Pinkie Pie, Bon Bon, Vinyl Scratch, and Cherry Pop.

Yes. Only one stallion went to the sex shop, and his name is Cherry Pop.

As for those who've been reading this from StrayAnon's Snowbound threads, there's been quite a lot of build-up so far without a single damn thing to fap to this entire time.
At long last, the wait is over! And now, the continuation of...

A Sex Shop in Ponyville!

> After a good nights sleep, the Changelings woke up one after another.
> Anticipation was their mutual alarm clock that morning.
> They each emerged from their rooms and went down stairs, and into the broom closet under the stairs.

> At the back of the broom closet Melyrid flipped a hidden switch under one of the shelves, and opened a secret panel in the back wall.
> All three of them went through the secret door, and down another set of stairs into a secret compartment in the basement.
> There in the middle of that secret room, a large smooth egg shaped crystal glowed with a faint green light.
> It was as tall as their shoulders, and as wide all the way around as the full length of their bodies.
> Within its transparency they could make out blurred images moving within.
> "Glad to see our customers didn't keep us waiting." Thespid said as she ran her tongue across her fangs.

> Each of the Changeling's took their own position around it.
> "So... how does this work exactly?" Agraul asked, with a hint of nervous uncertainty in his voice.
> Melyrid placed one hoof on the crystal as she gazed within it, and explained to him "We all connect to the mother crystal by trying to feed on it together. Then as we draw from the energy it's collected, our minds will be pulled inside of it. In this way, we will relive the events experienced by those the energy was collected from. And as those events play out before us, we will feed on the energy they released.".
> Melyrid looked up at Thespid and Agraul, and each of them placed a hoof on their side of the mother crystal as well.

> All three of them gazed into the mother crystal, and their horns began to glow as they tapped into it's energy.
>As the energy swirled through the air to their horns, that same faint glow being emanated by the mother crystal washed over their eyes.
>>
>>25549356
> The three of them found themselves in a bedroom, just as Bon Bon and Lyra came through the door holding hooves and looking deeply into each others eyes.
> Not bothering to close the door behind them, they lifted their hooves to each others faces, pulled each other close, and began kissing each other gently.

> Already the Changelings could feel the intensity of their love as they fed upon it.
> Agraul glanced around the room, and out the window he could see the black starry sky from the night before.

> Lyra and Bon Bon moved their hooves, wrapping their arms around each others shoulders.
> Their kisses came faster, along with their breaths and heartbeats.
> The Changelings horns began to glow brighter as the intensity of Lyra's and Bon Bon's passion grew.

> Finally they pulled away to catch their breath, and Lyra said "Oh Sweetie Drops, you're the most amazing friend I could ever ask for.".
> "You're amazing too Lyra." she said back, as they both took a moment to gaze deeply into each others eyes.
> Agraul tilted his head and raised an eyebrow in confusion, "Wait, I thought her name was Bon Bon.".
> "Shh!" Melyrid hissed, "Just be quiet and watch.".
> Bon Bon shyly bit her lip with a smile and looked away for a moment, then told Lyra "I um... hope you don't mind, but... I thought we might try something a little bit different... tonight.".

> Lyra was intrigued.
> Her eyelids hung low while her eyebrows perked up, and she asked "Ooh, really? What did you have in mind?".

> Bon Bon pulled her over to the bed and reached underneath it, while Lyra climbed on top of it and laid down.
> Bon Bon hesitated as she began pulling out the surprise.
> She bit her lip nervously as she looked at Lyra and told her, "Now, we don't have to do this if you don't want to. I mean, I just thought it was something new we could try together, and maybe, if you were interested...".
> Lyra gently placed her hoof over Bon Bon's mouth, and told her "How about you show me your little surprise, and let me decide if I like it or not.".

> Bon Bon looked down, and said "It's really... not so little." as she closed her eyes and lifted the long double ended dildo onto the bed.
> Lyra wasn't just surprised, but completely shocked by what she saw!
> Bon Bon kept her eyes clenched shut, waiting terrified for Lyra's reaction.
> Lyra stared at it for a moment, then looked up at Bon Bon, then back at the double dildo.
> "Well, uuuuumm... it's certainly... something new." Lyra said, unsure how she really felt about it.

> Bon Bon slowly opened her eyes, and saw the stunned look on Lyra's face.
> "I'm sorry... I'm sorry!" Bon Bon said as she grabbed the double dildo and stuffed it back under the bed.
> "It was a stupid idea. I'll take it back to the store tomorrow. I'm so sorry!" she told Lyra frantically, as her eyes started to well up with shame.
>>
>>25549601
> Lyra snapped out of her frozen stare, and asked "Wait. Shop? What shop?".
> Bon Bon stepped away from the bed and told her "Oh you know, that sex shop that those Changelings opened up last night.".
> Lyra suddenly sat up saying "Whoa! Hold on a sec! You went to the Changeling's sex shop!?".
> Tears started running down Bon Bon's face as she hung her head in shame and said "Yes.".

> Thespid rolled her eyes saying "Oh for cryin' out loud, you'd think she stole some pony's baby with the way she's acting.".
> Melyrid gave another abrupt hush, eager to find out what happened next.

> Bon Bon went on telling Lyra "After I heard Princess Twilight's big speech about not judging them, I decided to go have a look. I wanted to get something I thought we'd both enjoy. But I was so terrified of some pony seeing me in there, I covered up as best I could to hide who I really was.".
> Lyra felt bad about how hard Bon Bon was being on herself over this, but couldn't think of what to say.

> After a few sniffles, Bon Bon continued explaining.
> "That was the only thing I could think of that we could enjoy together. But when I went to pay for it, Pinkie Pie suddenly popped out of the dressing room! I don't know how, but she immediately recognized me. And then she announced my name for the whole store to hear! I was so embarrassed I snatched it off the counter and ran for my life!"
> Bon Bon's watery eyes turned into a flood of tears, as she couched on the floor and buried her face in her crossed forelegs.

> Thespid could barely keep her eyes open as her lip curled up on one side, and she sarcastically announced "Oh yeah. This is SO hot right now.".
> "SHHHHH!!"
>>
>>25540255
Oh hello there. Is this going to be a full length sequel?
>>
>>25549173
I'm alive. But hey while we have a bug thread, quick question. I'm thinking about restarting Changebro in prose. Think it would be better with or without the Anon character? It very easily could be about Spike and a changeling.

So guess I'm asking, keep the AiE aspect or cut it?
>>
>>25549757
> Lyra got off the bed and went over to console Bon Bon, "It's okay. I'm not mad, just a little surprised is all." she said petting her mane.
> Bon Bon looked up wiping the tears from her eyes, and Lyra helped lift her back up.
> "I really appreciate everything you put yourself through for this." Lyra told her as she stroked her cheek.
> Then Lyra went back to the bed, picked up the double dildo, and laid back down on the bed with it.
> Bon Bon smiled still a bit teary eyed, and joined her on the bed.

> Lyra lifted one end of the dildo up to Bon Bon's lips, and she rubbed them over it before slipping out her tongue to lick the tip.
> Bon Bon closed her eyes as she circled her tongue around the tip a few times
> Then gave a gentle moan as she slid her lips over it, and sucked it into her mouth.
> Lyra bit her lip as she watched Bon Bon slowly bobbing her head up and down, and slid her hoof up the inside of Bon Bon's thigh.
> As Lyra squeezed her hoof between the tops of her thighs, Bon Bon moaned loader as she lifted her mouth off the rubber dick.

> The two of them locked eyes, and Bon Bon took the dildo from her.
> She slid the wet end down Lyra's belly, and started rubbing it against her crotch.
> Lyra leaned her head down to take the other end in her mouth, and Bon Bon lifted it closer to her face as Lyra drooled all over it.
> After a couple loud sucking noises, Lyra pulled away taking a deep breath.
> Again they locked eyes with each other.
> Lyra's hoof was already getting quite wet, and she started to take high pitched gasps as Bon Bon rubbed the lower end of their new toy against her clit.
> "Are you ready?" Bon Bon asked.
> "Absolutely."

I'd say that I overall prefer non-AiE, but then again I haven't read Changebro.
>>
>>25549301

I've added your paste to the new pastebin for changeling stuff I am going to try and maintain.

http://pastebin.com/ggkHTVqc

>>25549874

I found anon to be a decent intermediary between Spike and the changeling. I imagine it would work either way pretty well, IMO. Though if you are gonna post to FiMFiction I am not sure how well they like anon.
>>
>>25549924
I don't think they mind, but at the same time, I don't think one should care.
>>
>>25549924
FimFiction does not allow AiE.
>>
>>25549942
Yes they do, they have at least two groups dedicated to it
>>
>>25549924
Damn! Thanks dude.

>>25549878
> The two of them repositioned themselves on the bed, Lyra laid against the head board while Bon Bon sat near the foot of the bed.
> Bon Bon took the end she'd licked and rubbed it up and down the lips of Lyra's pussy.
> Lyra was breathing heavy, and clenched her teeth as Bon Bon pushed the tip inside of her.
> "Oh wow! That's something different alright!" Lyra cried out.

> Bon Bon left just the tip in as she repositioned herself again, laying back on the foot of the bed, trying carefully not to fall off the end.
> They both slid their left hind legs under the others right, and Bon Bon started rubbing the soaking wet end up and down her own fuzzy lips.
> Pulling herself closer to Lyra, she pushed the other tip inside herself moaning "Gnnn-ah!".

> They both looked across the bed at each other, smiling with wet eyes, knowing the other felt exactly what they did.
> Without a word, they slowly started pulling their bodies closer together with their hind legs.
> The double dick gradually sliding inside both of them, almost evenly.

> They both would stop to reach out and try grabbing each others forelegs, but they were still too far apart.
> Inching closer and closer, their warm thighs squeezed and strained against each other.
> Lyra biting her lip, Bon Bon clenching her teeth.
> Finally their front hooves managed to touch, but it still wasn't enough.
> They pulled each other closer with their thighs alone, pushing in those last couple inches they needed to grab hold of each other.

> They looked into each others eyes as the secured their grip on each other.
> After a few calming deep breaths, Lyra asked "All the way?".
> Bon Bon smiled for a moment, but couldn't get out the words, and just nodded her head.

> They tightened their grip and tensed up their hind legs, as Lyra counted down.
> "Three...", Bon Bon bit her lip and closed her eyes.
> "Two...", Lyra pressed her head against the head board, bracing herself for the impact to come.
> "One...", Thespid grinned from ear the ear, "This oughta be good!".
> "PULL!"

You could take the original archive and copy and paste what's there and just begin adding new stuff if you're going to take over that duty. No sense in letting those stories disappear.

>>25550102

That's what I intend to do when I stop being a lazy ass.

Also, working on a big pile of stuff to dump throughout the holiday tomorrow.

>>25550075
> Together Lyra and Bon Bon pulled their hips together, squeezing the double dong deep inside both of them, and their pussies slammed together in the middle!
> Lyra's jaw clamped shut as she let a hard grunt out through her teeth, while Bon Bon threw her head back as she released a wailing moan that echoed through the entire house.

> At that same moment, the Changelings were overcome by a wave of pleasure through their bodies.
> Thespid convulsed on the spot, "Uh-huh, nnnn!".
> Melyrid closed her eyes and raised her head as a deep sudden gasp rushed through her teeth.
> Agraul's knees buckled so hard that he fell to the floor, "AW-HAW!! Oh, lord! Hoooooo!".

> "What the fucking heck was that!?" Thespid asked aloud as she struggled to keep her balance.
> "A special side effect of the mother crystal." Melyrid explained to her, "By reliving the moment of their passion, we are able to share in their ecstasy as we feed upon it.".
> Thespid helped Agraul get back to his feet, knowing full well just how intense that surge was.
> "I felt both of them." Agraul said as he tried to stop his legs from shaking and regain his balance, "I felt both of them at the same time!".

> Lyra and Bon Bon struggled to lift their heads back up and look at each other again.
> Then Lyra started moving her hips, causing both of their clits to rub against each other.
> Bon Bon squealed as her entire body twitched and convulsed, and her eyes rolled back as her head did the same.
> "Oh Gosh! Sweet Celestia it's so deep! Oh my Gosh, stop! I can't take it!" she cried out, pleading to Lyra.
>>
>>25550196
> Lyra granted Bon Bon a brief reprieve, waiting for her body to stop shuddering so she could lift her head back up and look at her again.

> Once she did, Lyra gave Bon Bon a sultry gaze and told her "I can feel you, you know.".
> Bon Bon looked back confused, "What do you mean?".
> "When you squeeze down on your side, it makes my side swell up. And when your body twitches, I can feel all of it too."

> If the both of them weren't already red in the face, Bon Bon would certainly have started blushing then.

> Suddenly Lyra gave a hard squeeze on her end, and Bon Bon gasped with a slight shriek as she felt her side suddenly swell up deep inside of her.
> Then Lyra started moving her hips in a vertical circle, pushing and pulling in a slow soft rhythm.
> Her motion shifted the double dildo inside of them, and their warm slick juices gradually started to slather between their lips and hips.
> Soon Bon Bon joined in, moving her hips in the same circular motion, keeping rhythm with Lyra's.

> This went on for several minutes, both of them groaning and pulling at each other like magnets.
> Until finally Bon Bon lifted her head saying "Pull me up!".
> Their bodies squeezed together, as Lyra pulled harder to lift Bon Bon on top of her.
> As Bon Bon tried to position her hind hooves on the bed, Lyra made sure to keep hers wrapped around her pelvis as best she could.
> The bottom of Lyra's spine arched up off the bed, while Bon Bon bent over trying to get close enough to kiss Lyra.
> As Bon Bon tried to lift her head closer for a kiss, Lyra suddenly squeezed with her legs, thrusting their hips together, and squeezing the dildo deep inside both of them again.
> The sudden shock caused Bon Bon to lose her grip, and all her legs spread open as she fell on top of Lyra.
> Their new toy was thrust full force, as deep as it could possibly go inside both of them!
>>
>>25549864
Yes. When I quit playing fallout that is. Don't worry. The thrill of the game is starting to wear off.
I want to write tonight but I got too busy with family time and now I'm just too tired.
>>
>>25550485
Take your time man. Family first; we can wait.
>>
>>25550366
> This time It was Lyra who shrieked, baring the full force of Bon Bon's weight on top of her.
> As Bon Bon tried to get her hooves back into position, the shifting of her hips caused their clits to rub against each other again.
> The resulting convulsions caused Bon Bon to lose her balance yet again.
> This time Lyra wrapped her forelegs under Bon Bon's, holding her close.
> Bon Bon managed to lift her head from Lyra's shoulder, and gave her that kiss she'd been after.
> As Bon Bon slipped her tongue inside her mouth, Lyra adjusted her right hind leg to keep it wrapped around her waist.
> Lyra gave sudden pulls with her leg to keep the dildo shifting inside both of them, while their tongues swirled around each other, in and out of their mouths.
> Both of them moaning and breathing heavily the entire time.
> Then Bon Bon pulled away from Lyra's mouth, and started kissing her neck.
> Bon Bon reached down with her tail and coiled it around Lyra's left leg, pulling it up so that her one side was no longer drooping away.
> Again she repositioned her hind hooves, and managed to get them back into a standing position, allowing their sopping wet pussy lips to squeeze together around the dildo.
> This time when their clits touched each other, Bon Bon stopped everything else she was doing, and focused entirely on keeping her hind legs up.
> As she started breathing hot and heavy over Lyra's shoulder, Lyra focused on moving her pelvis up and down to keep their clits rubbing together.
> Fortunately the more stimulated Bon Bon was, the tighter her tail gripped around Lyra's leg, keeping her from falling out of position.
> Bon Bon began struggling to hold everything in, letting out sudden loud shrieks every so often.
> As Bon Bon's legs began to quiver again, Lyra could feel it all through their deep rubber connection.
> She knew that they were both ready now.
>>
>>25550521
> With a sudden pelvic thrust, Lyra firmly wrapped her legs around Bon Bon, then with another sudden pull, brought Bon Bon flat down on the bed again.
> Before she could react, Lyra rolled both of them over to get on top of Bon Bon.
> She looked up at Lyra in stunned surprise, almost afraid.

> Lyra grabbed onto the top of the headboard to lift herself up.
> She lifted her right hind leg so that Bon Bon's hind legs were both resting against hers.
> Then Lyra reared up pushing off the headboard, grabbed hold of Bon Bon's hind legs, and pushed them up towards the headboard, almost folding her in half!
> Throughout all this, their dildo kept shifting inside both of them.
> Lyra just gritted her teeth and powered through it, but Bon Bon released a series of grunts and sharp gasps.

> Bon Bon's ass was pointed strait up, and Lyra moved herself right on top as she kept hold of her hind legs.
> Lyra looked down into Bon Bon's eyes, as she raised herself up on the tips of her hind hooves.
> She licked her lips as she stood ready, waiting until Bon Bon finally looked up, smiled, and gave a nod.
> As Lyra took a deep breath through her clenched teeth, Bon Bon closed her eyes and reached out to grab hold of either side of the mattress with her front hooves, bracing herself as best she could.

> The Changelings couldn't help but cringe as well, knowing full well what was in store for them.
>>
>>25550653
> Lyra dropped herself down on Bon Bon, hard and fast!
> Both of them felt the full force of their double dong slamming deep against their cervixes.
> And their clits, already stiff, were mashed against each other within their kissing pussy lips.
> Both of them cried out together, still looking into each others eyes.

> The Changelings all collapsed in unison on the floor, completely unable to control their bodies as the force of Lyra and Bon Bon's lust surged through them!

> Lyra struggled to keep control of herself, holding Bon Bon's legs, and keeping her own from faltering completely.
> Once she was sure she could maintain her position, Lyra lifted herself up again, both of them moaning slightly as their dildo partially slid out of both of them.
> Again Lyra slammed down hard, and just as before they both cried out.
> She lifted up, then slammed down.
> Up, down, up, down, up, down.
> Again and again, each time with just as much force as the last.

> Their cries of ecstasy filled the house, as they did their best to maintain eye contact the entire time.
> Smiling at each other.
> Feeling the heat from each others heaving breaths.
> Their tails coiled together.
> And their dripping wet pussies splashed their juices all over each other, with each pounding slap of their asses.
> They were both getting close now, and Lyra started going faster.
>>
>>25550761
> The Changelings didn't bother trying to get back on their hooves.
> The surging lust energy was overwhelming them completely.

> Lyra and Bon Bon's asses slapped together faster and faster, splashing their hot secretions all over Bon Bon and the bed.
> Their rapid intermittent squeals were gradually replaced long shuddering moans, as Lyra starting thrusting faster than their lungs could keep up with.
> "Ooooooh gaaawwwsh!" Bon Bon wailed, while Lyra just clenched her jaw trying to ignore the growing fatigue in her legs.
> Desperately struggling to push through the burning of her legs, Lyra didn't let up or even slow down.
> "Oh Sweetie! This is so amazing! I can feel your whole body!" Lyra cried out as she tried to maintain eye contact.
> Bon Bon could barely stop her eyes from rolling back as she looked up and said "Oh Lyra I'm so close! Don't stop! Ah! Aaaah! AAAAAAHHH!!".

> Lyra managed to keep going for about a dozen more rapid thrusts, before both of them reached their loud squirting climax together!

> Lyra reached between Bon Bon's hind legs as she fell down and wrapped her forelegs around her body, and Bon Bon did the same.
> The two of them clutched onto each other for dear life, as they squeezed their bodies together through the bed shaking twitches and convulsions of their simultaneous orgasms!
> Lyra had completely lost her balance, and laid on top of Bon Bon, folded in half with her twitching hind legs spread in a wide V.
> Both of them just laid there heaving and moaning, gently pressing the sides of their faces against each other.

> Lyra whispered in her ear, "That was the best idea you've ever had.".
> Bon Bon whispered back, "And you're the best friend I've ever had.".
> Then Lyra lifted her head up so they could look into each others tired shimmering eyes.
> And after that sweet quiet moment, they closed their eyes and slowly pressed their lips together in a long gentle kiss.
>>
>>25550879
> As that last crippling wave of euphoria finally passed, the Changelings were able to get off the floor and back on their hooves.
> "Holy fucking donkey dicks, that shit was incredible!" Thespid announced.
> Melyrid smiled with pride, "Your colorful choice of words not withstanding, I certainly agree." she said as she pulled her frazzled hair back from her face.
> Agraul was still struggling to keep his balance, dizzy from the huge surge of energy he'd just absorbed.
> "Uhhhhh-hu-hu-huhhhhh... both... both of th'm at th'... hoooooo." he mummbled as he held a hoof to the side of his head.

> After a few more minutes of laying together, Lyra lifted herself off of Bon Bon, who uncomfortably lowered her stiff hind legs down on the bed.
> Lyra slowly backed off, slowly pulling their new favorite toy out of themselves.
> Lyra held it up for Bon Bon to see, as it was completely soaked from end to end in their hot juices.
> They both chuckled together.
> Then Lyra unceremoniously tossed it on the floor, as she laid back down beside Bon Bon.
> Wrapping their front legs around each other, and intertwining their hind legs, they held each other close.
> Sharing a few soft kisses, before simply relaxing and enjoying a quiet snuggle.

> As their passion finally ebbed, the vision of the two of them and their bedroom faded from the Changelings minds.
> They found themselves back in the basement, still standing around the mother crystal, which still glowed warm with more energy for them to feed on.

Well, that's it for one night.

Ch. 7

>You awaken, early the next morning.
>The pale blue-grey light of pre-dawn subtly shines in around the curtains of the window.
>You crawl out of bed, and stand up.
>Soon.
>Soon, Chrysalis your Queen, will be here, to visit you.
>You quietly move to the kitchen, and put a kettle on the stove.
>Some herbal tea should help calm your nerves.
>You sit quietly, going over in your mind how you were going to explain the situation to your Queen.
>You are broken from your concentration by the sound of the kettle whistling.
>Using your magic, you remove the kettle from the burner, and turn off the stove.
>Rising, you fill the tea basket with some herbs, and place it into the kettle to steep.
>As you are doing this, you hear the sound of Lavender moving around in the bedroom.
>You think to yourself.
>After today, everything will be easier.
>Except...
>How will you move to new assignments with Lavender?
>Will your Queen perhaps allow you settle down as the local ranking drone here in Cloudcrop, despite your considerable scouting and infiltration skills?
>Will you be forced to have Lavender move with you all over Equestria?
>>
>>25553610

>You stand up to pour yourself a cup of tea, and Lavender steps into the kitchen, rubbing her eye with a hoof, yawning.
Morning, Lavender.
>"Good morning, Ikky."
Fancy some tea, my dear?
>Her eyes light up slightly, and you feel a pleasant twinge of emotion flow from her to you.
>"Some tea would be wonderful. What kind did you make this morning?"
Oh, a special blend to calm my nerves and sharpen my wit.
>"Sounds nice."
>Lavender shuffles over to the pantry, and digs around, pulling out an apple.
>While she is busy doing that, you pour a second cup of tea for Lavender.
>She takes a seat at the table, and takes a bite out of her apple, then takes a sip of her tea.
>"So, you got your chat with 'Mom' planned?"
I think so. I hope it works out...
>Lavender gives you a look that warms your heart...
>And slightly sates your hunger.
>"Everything will be fine."
>Surely, she will understand.
>You nod appreciatively to Lavender.
Thank you so much. I think I feel ready to face today. Hopefully, when you return from your walk, you will be able to meet... Her.
>>
>>25553677


>Lavender sighs pleasantly.
>"I... I think I am looking forward to it."
>From Lavender, you feel the sweet glow of love growing.
>After finishing her apple and tea, she stands up, and trots over to the front door.
>"I'll see you a little after lunch, Ik'thik. Best of luck."
>You nod, and with a flash of green, take the shape of Pine Fresh.
>Lavender opens the door, waves, and leaves the townhouse.
>You look around the living room and kitchen.
>Everything is neat... Organized...
>You feel ready to take on the day, no matter what happens.
>You mumble to yourself.
I guess I'll ready a book while I wait for... her to show up.
>You pick up a random book from the shelf the townhouse came pre-furnished with.
>After no more than 15 minutes, you hear a sharp knocking at your front door.
>Your heart skips a beat.
>You pause for a moment, before standing up, and moving to the front door.
>Upon looking through the peephole, you see a fair unicorn mare standing on your front porch...
>Tall, white body, sky blue hair, orange eyes.
>That matches the description in your letter of what to expect.
>You open the door, and greet your visitor.
>>
>>25553810

Welcome, to my humble abode, M'lady.
>You bow your head respectfully
>The mare nods her head in response.
>"I thank you kindly for your hospitality, my servant."
>Right on script...
>Yup, this is Chrysalis, here in Cloudcrop, to speak with you.
Please, come inside, we have... much to discuss.
>You step back from the door, and motion for her to move inside.
>She nods courteously, and follows you inside.
>Once she has cleared the door, you quickly shut it.
My Queen... It is a pleasure to have you visit me in the field.
>With a flash of green, the unicorn before you assumes her true form.
>Tall, beautiful, the leader of your people, Chrysalis, stands before you.
>"Ik'thik, my loyal subject, I understand we have much to discuss... Though this home of yours reeks of pony."
>With a second flash of green, you also return to your true form.
Indeed, Chrysalis, my Queen... To start with, I am sure you can already feel the energy in this town, even at this hour.

This is all I have pre-written for now while I am cooking. Will get more later this afternoon.
>>
>>25554195

Thanksgiving dinner is prepared, cooked, and now, eaten. Time to sit down, and write.
>>
>>25554195

>She nods.
>"Yes, my child... it is a quite pleasant place to simply wander around in."
I have also found a cavern outside of town I do not believe the local ponies are familiar with that would make an ideal hideout and staging area, my Queen.
>She nods once more.
>"Excellent. You have done great work scouting out this town. However, would you explain why your... residence reeks of pony."
>You pause for a moment.
There is one specific thing which I wished to speak to you about, rather than what I am sure has reached you from my reports.
>Chrysalis raises one of her eyebrows at your statement.
>"Yes, you did request a personal audience."
My Queen, I have quite possibly done something... rash.
>You continue immediately, despite Chrysalis looking ready to respond.
The stories of old, Akalon and Sea Shade... Kar'ik and Rosemary... Kil'ruk and Thundercrash...
I think I have fallen into the same situation as them.
>Chrysalis stares at you.
>The kind of stare that might kill you, if it could.
>>
Be gone, page 7
>>
>>25556098

>Oh crap.
>"What exactly have you done, Ik'thik, my child."
A... A local pony, one of the ones I work with at my cover job...
>"What does she know?"
>You gulp hard.
She knows my true nature... She knows that I came here to check out the town.
>You are on the verge of tears.
She now knows more than the average pony when it comes to changeling capabilities and habits after spending time with me.
>"What brought about this... connection. Simply working together?"
>Her voice was cold, calm, and clear.
We work on a team together, my Queen... She cuts trees, I guide them safely to the ground with magic. She had taken a liking to me very early on in our working together.
>You think back for a moment.
I saved her life one day when a freak storm rolled through. A burst of incredible wind knocked several trees upon her.
I used my magic to stop them, and push them out of the way. In doing so... I lost my disguise while concentrating on moving the trees.
>Chrysalis continues staring, but nods at your story.
She passed out immediately after from the shock, despite nothing touching her. I brought her back here, and was able to convince her she simply had a terrible dreams while passed out.
>>
>>25556695


Afterwards, she gave herself to me. I was able to feed off her love for me. It was the most delicious of meals.
>"And?"
We dated. My feelings for her grew. I thought of the old stories, and determined I would open up to her.
>"How did she handle that?"
Well enough, I suppose. We moved in together, I haven't been carted off to some horrible pony research lab or dungeon. She willingly allows me to feed from her.
>chrysalis' look softens.
>"I see... Did she know of my arrival today?"
Yes... I recieved the message yesterday morning. She went for a walk in the woods outside of town, to give me time to speak with you about... All this.
>Her stern look softens.
>"Ik'thik, my subject... My child... The old stories you speak of are all true, or at the very least, based upon true events in the past."
>"Your situation is not new. Uncommon, but not unheard of. The road ahead of you can be wonderful and fulfilling, or it could make a turn for cold lonliness and sadness."
>Your heart is alight with hope as Chrysalis, your Queen, speaks those words.
Y-y-you mean you are ok with this?
>"My child, the happiness of my subjects, my family... Is my primary concern. You appear to have already made the decision, and nothing terrible has happened... yet.
What of my assignment... future assignments?
>"If your reports are to be believed, you have made a good impression on this town. I think I may have to leave you on extended assignment here in Cloudcrop at the very least."
You mean, you want me to set up and run an enclave here?
>Chrysalis gives a shrug.
>"If you think that is a good course of action, I would support it, Ik'thik."

Happy Thanksgiving /bug/
I hope you all feast well.

>Upon hearing that, you feel an immense weight leave you.
>Surely, she will understand.
>Indeed, she did.
Lavender August... She will be home a little after lunch. Is there anything around town you wish to see, my Queen?
>"How far away is this cavern you spoke of?
Oh, a 15 or 20 minute walk. It was easy enough for me to spot, but the ponies would have a hell of a time trying to even find the entrance.
>"Let us inspect it, and we can plan and discuss the future placement of changelings here in Cloudcrop."
>In a flash of green, both yourself and your Queen assume disguises, and head out the front door, you leading the way to the cavern you found.
>You discuss the "Family Business" while walking out into the woods, and plan how best to manage changelings moving into Cloudcrop, ideas on possible fronts...
>Upon reaching the cave, you nod to Chrysalis.
This small opening leads into a moderately sized cave. It's well hidden, and with a bit of magic could easily be expanded. I think this town could, as it stands right now, support maybe... A dozen changelings.
>You pause for a moment.
Buuuuut... I understand the population drops significantly in the winter, my Queen. That may challenge things...
>"Hmmm... That could be an issue. Perhaps further reconissance is needed before truely settling on what we are going to do here."
I think that would be best, my queen. I understand many who work here in the summer leave, but a smaller number of ponies come up to the high elevations to ski. I will have to investigate this before we settle on anything.
>"Let us return, Ik'thik. Perhaps, we can meet your... Lavender."
Yes, my Queen.
>You walk back into town with your Queen, discussing further business.

happy eating day faggots. glad to see other writefags are still going stronk.

>>25558597

Write more.

I'm chugging along, but more other stuff would be nice to keep the thread from turning into a bamp fest. And I want to see how your story finishes up.

>>25558652
it will be perfectly mediocre. ill write some more tomorrow when everyone is done spending time with their families and return to their natural habitats.

The target was far from ideal but Kalumnia was determined to make what he could of it. With a confident sway of his feminine form he made his way to the lone stallion. “What's a fine thing like you doing sitting alone?” Kalumnia asks settling on the flirty approach.
The stallion hesitates before looking up with glassy eyes to the lack of anyone else responding.
He was a bit on the thin side but by no means scrawny. His physique seemed one of a naturally high activity level rather than any conscious effort. His eyes, though a vibrant yellow, seemed vacant. As though filtering much of what they took in as to not bother a preoccupied mind. “Are… are you talking to me?” he asks with a masked tone of annoyance.
Kalumnia gave his best bimbo giggle as he brushed his wet mane aside from his face. He really did know how to conjure up just the right image to get a stallion going. Even the obviously married stallion across the room was sneaking a look where his wife wasn't watching. But this pegasus merely looked distant and confused.
>>
>>25559170
With his best sultry voice and bedroom eyes, Kalumnia answered “Of course. What other handsome stud would I be talking to?”. The stallion raised his eyebrows and looked uneasily to either side. “Look, I…” he began before Kalumnia put a hoof gently to his mouth to silence him. “You don't need to explain it to me.” Kalumnia said through a practiced smile. “Some mares just don't know a winner when they see him.” The stallion raised his hoof up and gently moved Kalumnia’s from his muzzle. “I think you have the wrong idea, miss.” Kalumnia leaned in trying for a nuzzle but the stallion backed away uncomfortably. “How could it be wrong? A stallion sitting all alone in this dingy little bar and a mare just looking to make a new friend. It sounds like a perfect match to me.” The green pegasus shifted in his seat seeming a bit agitated by the forward approach but still he managed to keep his response calm. “This is… sudden. And to be honest, you're really not my type.”
Kalumnia brought his forelegs up attempting to ensnare his prey in a loose embrace. “How can you say that? You don't even know what ‘type’ I am.” The stallion wormed back and delicately fended off each offending limb while he backed away off his seat. “You know… you make a great point.” He said with a sudden change in tone. “We should really get to know each other better so we can be sure. Why don't I get us some drinks and we can talk.” Kalumnia eased off letting the stallion slip away. “Alright, stud. But don't keep a filly waiting.”
>>
>>25559188
The stallion moved off to the bar while Kalumnia took a seat on the opposite side of the small table. Drinks would be perfect. If there was one thing that a changeling could handle better than a pony it was alcohol. One of the best weapons in a changeling’s arsenal. It would likely take only a few rounds to get this stallion drunk and eager to get Kalumnia’s assumed persona alone somewhere.
The glass set down with a light tap in a field of magic from the unicorn whom had previously been behind the bar. “Here ya go, dear.” the mare said “compliments of…”. Even she seemed surprised to spot the green pegasus hurriedly slip out the door.

I know it's not much but it's what I could manage for tonight. More will come.

>You arrive back at your townhouse, and open the door, allowing your Queen to enter before you.
>Lavender does not appear to have returned just yet.
My Queen... Do you enjoy tea?
>"I have been known to enjoy a spot of tea from time to time, yes."
>Upon hearing that, you move to fill you kettle, and put it on the stove.
I think you might like this blend... I've found it to be quite enjoyable, my lady.
>She takes a seat at the kitchen table.
>You prepare the tea basket with your strawberry hibiscus tea.
>Upon the pot boiling, you remove it from the stove, and steep the tea.
>Using your magic, you bring the pot, and two coffee mugs to the table.
Strawberry Hibiscus, my Queen... A pleasant blend, for a nice relaxing afternoon.
>She picks up her cup with her green magical aura.
>"Thank you Ik'thik."
>She takes a sip of the tea, and a smile grows across her face.
>"This is a very nice blend... You will have to tell me where you get it... I will have to keep it stocked in my personal pantry."
I found it on one of my previous assignments... You can buy it at Pembrooke Brothers grocers... Those are everywhere.
>"Indeed, thank you."
So, my Queen, how long were you planning on staying here in Cloudcrop."
>"I was planning on staying overnight. I am expected at the next location in a few days."
I see... the couch pulls out into a bed. Lavender and I can share that. You can take the proper bed, My Queen.
>"Thank you for your hospitality."
>You speak with chrysalis for a while, and right around lunch time, Lavender comes in through the front door.

>She stutters and tries to deny it
>You two get into a three hour fight over who's choice of tea is worse, until finally
>"Yo, I heard there's some bomb-ass tea in here!"
>>
>>25559740

Don't knock it till you've tried it. It's one of the best wierd fruity herbal teas I've ever had. The dried strawberries steep immense flavor, and the flowery hibiscus adds a nice layer on top. Mix in some plain black tea for caffeine.

i just buy the lipton teabags and set them in a bomb-ass old percolator i got for 24 hrs at a time and make 2 pickle jars worth at a time. i know its supposed to be hot tea, but i think mixing the sugar and honey in while it hot and then letting it cool in the fridge makes it taste better.

>Be Lavender August, Lumberjack Pony.
>You have spent this morning wandering around in the forest outside of the town you reside in, Cloudcrop.
>Pine Fresh, or rather, Ik'thik, your special somepony, has a special guest coming to visit today, and you decided to give them some time alone to get some... things worked out.
>Hopefully everything will be OK.
>It's about time for you to return home, and grab some lunch.
>You reach your front door, and open to see one familiar face sitting at the kitchen table, along with one not so familiar.
>Sitting next to your special somepony is another mare...
>Beautiful by anyone's standard, with an air of regality to her.
Hey there Piney, and you must be... Mom!
>You step through the door and shut it behind you.
>You throw a slightly nervous look to Ik'thik, in his disguise, Pine Fresh.
>A flash of green fills the room momentaryily, and Ik'thik's disguise is gone.
>"Lavender, you are correct, this is... my Queen."
>You throw a look to the mare sitting next to Ik'thik.
>She returns your look, and another flash of green fills the room.
>The beautiful unicorn that was sitting before you is replace with a being stunning in a different manner.
>A larger, slimmer, more... Regal version of your beloved Ik'thik.
>She speaks to you in a powerful, but strange voice.
>"Greetings, Lavender August. I am Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings. I understand you have been... taken by my charming little Ik'thik."
>>

>You bow down before the changeling Queen.
Yes, my lady... He is the most wonderful pony... err... being... I've ever met. We just... Operate on the same wavelength.
>The large changeling standing before you appears to be studying you... Looking you over.
>She then nods.
>"Yes, I do believe that is the case."
>Turning to Ik'thik she speaks to him.
>"I bless your relationship with Lavender August. I believe she is earnest in her feelings, as are you."
>She once more turns her attention to you.
>"You have been granted a great honor, that comes with a great burden, Lavender."
>Chrysalis sighs.
>"Our society lives on secrecy and discretion, my little pony. Everything you know, everything you learn, about changelings, you MUST keep secret."
>"Nopony must know of Ik'thik's true nature. Should he get found out..."
>A tear wells up in the Queen's eye.
>"Let's not think about that, or any other of my children who might get discovered should the worst happen."
>You gulp.
I won't tell another soul, Chrysalis. I know my own people well enough to imagine what might happen.
>Chrysalis continues.
>"On the other side, you may come to meet many more of my own subjects. Changelings coming to work or live in this area will have to be briefed on your situation"
>"Many of them will be fearful and may shun you, despite being a part of the family."
>You tilt your head to the side.
I'm... part of the family now?

>Chrysalis gives a nod to the affirmative.
>"With my blessing, you are welcomed into the swarm, Lavender."
>Your heart feels aflutter.
>Everything went perfect.
>Ik'thik's Queen has accepted the both of you being together, and has welcomed you fully into the family... The Swarm.
>Ik'thik jumps over to you, and gives you a loving embrace.
>A smile grows on Chrysalis' face.
>"If you wish, Lavender, you can be given a mark that will identify you to others in the family."
>"It cannot be seen by ponies, excepting a few magical rituals designed specifically to find such things, but is seen clearly by changelings."
>Chrysalis lets out a nostalgic sigh.
>"Nearly 200 years since I have last welcomed a pony into the swarm in this manner. It pleases me when it can happen on its own, and not end in tears."
>Her face then turns slightly more stern.
>"I can only hope it continues to be happy. OUtside forces can be... unpredictable."
>Ik'thik releases you from his embrace.
>"My Queen... You said all the old stories were true? So Romano and Jul'tak..."
>"Yes, my child... It happens as the story is told... Please, don't let that happen to you two."
>You look to Ik'thik nervously.

Break time. Going to go brave the horrors of black friday retail.

>You turn and wave your hands dismissively.
"I'm glad we're all on the same page now, but it's time for my morning brew."
>As you pour a cup for yourself, you turn your head.
"You already had some, didn't you Sunbutt?"
>She nods as she takes a seat at your table.
>"Of course, though I would not object to another cup."
>You hear a few changelings exchange some muffled words of confusion.
>"Did he just call her..."
>"How is it he has not been slain for such disrespect?"
>"Sir, how shall we-"
>Kalakcha speaks up clearly, effectively interupting his swarms conversations.
>"Some nectar of the gods would be perfect, Anon."
>Oddly enough, he takes a seat right next to the princess.
>He also does his best to avoid eye contact.
"Ya, ya, all you moochers are lucky I always got plenty available."
>Celestia looks down at Kalakcha.
>"It's plain to me why you were made a commander. A great leader sets the example for others to follow, correct?"
>You chuckle under your breath.
>It seems all Kalakcha can manage to do right now is keep himself from passing out.
>You finish stirring all the cups and place the spoon in your sink.
"It's as if courage and valor made sweet love and he was the off-spring."
>He gives you a look you're able to interpret in place of an insult, but his expression softens as you carry their cups to the table.
>You motion the others over to the table by tilting your head from side to side.
"Don't worry, the guy with two hands and no magic will get them all. Come sit down."
>You frown as they approach the table.
"And take those stupid disguises off, you're not fooling anyone right now."
>Celestia bows her head slightly.
>"Such a well-spoken and gracious host."
>All the bugs take seats so that Kalakcha is between them and the princess.
>Nice of them to leave the other seat next to her for you.
>Green flashes light up the room one at a time as they reveal their true forms.
>>
>>25565519
>You finish passing out the coffee and take your own seat as you take a deep inhale of the aroma.
>The world could be ending and it would still be a good day as long as you had your cup.
>The three of you begin to nurse your cups while the rest of the swarm sniffs at it tentatively.
>"Sir, what is this?"
>Kalakcha glances at him as he takes a sip.
>"Drink it."
"Didn't you hear him? It's called nectar of the gods."
>Celestia grins behind her cup.
>As they all take their turn testing it, their faces light up.
>You roll your eyes as they begin drinking it as fast as the heat will allow them.
"Maybe I should set up a shop near the changeling hive and become a millionaire. Starbucks will be excited that they have a branch in another dimension."
>Of course no one understood or cared about your reference.
>They didn't even appreciate that it could double as a horse pun.
>Besides the bugs hurriedly drinking their coffee, everyone was sitting in awkward silence.
>You sigh as you swirl the little remainder of your cup around.
>Celestia magically sets her cup down and turns to you.
>Her posture is always so formal.
>"I couldn't help but notice neither you nor your group of changelings left Equestria as you had originally planned."
>You put your cup down as well and look across the table at them.
"We had to change our plans a few times. First cuz you made sure he would still be here today."
>"It was actually my intention to get them to leave quicker. I see it had the opposite effect."
>You tilt your head at her.
"Turns out Kalakcha couldn't bring himself to abandon me."
>He looks down into his cup.
>"That's... Right."
>Celestia nods her approval.
>"Interesting."
"And second because apparently they didn't just come here to sight-see."
>The nearest changeling leans over to his commander.
>"Sir, should we be discussing-"
>"It's fine."
>Kalakcha looks up at Celestia.
>"My lieutenant went rogue and it is my primary mission to discover why and bring him back to my hive."

>As Kalakcha exlains the deal with his lieutenant to Celestia, you point across the table at the changeling nearest to his commander.
"I think I'll call you Mr. Sir."
>Kalakcha rolls his eyes as he continues.
>The changeling you are pointing at glances around before focusing on you.
>"You will, you what?"
"You haven't said a single sentence since I met you that didn't begin with sir, plus references are fun for me."
>He begins looking himself over.
"So your name is Mr. Sir from now on."
>"That does not sound like a real rank."
>His confusion makes you grin.
>You take another sip of coffee and point at the next changeling, continuing around the table.
"I dunno, Blindside?"
>He looks at his fellow swarm mates who are just as confused as he is.
>Kalakcha continues ignoring you to the best of his abilities.
>"For what purpose does this title serve?"
>You lean back a bit and scratch your chin.
"You're the one that hit me from behind, right?"
>The changeling next to him raises his hoof.
>"That, er, uh-"
"Anon."
>"Anon. That was me."
>You shrug.
"Close enough, and you'll be Abraham."
>Mr. Sir looks over his swarm before glaring at you.
>"What is the meaning of this? You have no authority to give us new titles."
"They're names. They're each your names forever and ever until you die or I lose track of who is who... Or get bored."
>>
>>25565967
>Celestia interrupts Kalakcha to turn and speak to you.
>"You're not very creative when it comes to names, Anon. Do they not have their own names?"
>You set down your empty cup.
"Why don't you ask Kalakcha about how that works? Besides, you don't have any room to judge. Literally everything in Equestria is a horse pun."
>She closes her eyes and smiles.
>"Fair point."
>Kalakcha sighs and turns to his group.
>"As you know, ponies feel more comfortable referring to each other with informal titles, and apparently will grant such a title to anyone who does not have one."
>None of them seem too pleased.
>Mr. Sir is the first to speak up once again.
>"Sir, it's one thing to refer to us as our disguise's title when necessary, but to refer to us by anything other than our earned title on a personal level just feels... It's disrespectful, as well as demeaning."
>Kalkcha gives them all a stern look.
>"You will allow yourself to be referred to in whichever way your host deems fit. This mission has become something much larger than our swarm and their concerns. The outcome of upcoming events could very well have a great impact on our entire hive. Do I make myself clear?"
>He trails off under his breath.
>"Even if the names are foolish."
>They all nod in understanding.
>"Sir."
>Blindside coughs after the ordeal is settled.
>"I, kinda like, my, name..."
>Mr. Sir groans.
>Abraham looks up at you and attempts to break some of the tension.
>"This drink is most enjoyable."
"Want some more? I was about to get some myself."
>"I think I've had enough..."
>Blindside speaks up.
>"I'll have more."
>Kalakcha finishes explaining the situation to Celestia as you fill the cups.
>Gonna need all the energy you can get today.
>You're sure of it.

>Mr. Sir
Ayyy, I loved that book and the movie.
>>
>>25566152
>It takes some time, but together your odd party comes up with a plan to find this missing lieutenant.
>Everyone agrees that he is most likely still hiding among the nobles.
>As Celestia mentioned before, bugs can be extremely efficient when fully prepared for a mission.
>Unlike the improvised disguises and stories from the rest of this group, he had been studying his targets for quite a while.
>He has melded in flawlessly.
>The only clue your group has is his targets.
>He should be a pony that has some variety of tie to them.
>It could be a noble pony that has known one of them for a long time, or it could be a random worker at a storehouse they own.
>Whichever area he decided would give him the most access to what he wanted.
>Therein lies the problem your party had to overcome.
>You had to find him quietly.
>Sunbutt can't host some random party; that would seem odd.
>Your group can't just wander around together feeling up random ponies.
>They can't even stick together since you escorting four ponies around would surely tip him off.
>Sunbutt has assured you that she is the only one who knows Kalakcha is the injured guard, so at least you still have the edge.
>As far as the lieutenant should know, his commander is safely in the custody of the princess.
>The plan you finally all decided might work involves sending one bug into each area.
>You're supposed to keep your distance and help only if there is a need.
>Despite your improv skills falling short of fooling Sunbutt, she's sure you can handle a handful of regular ponies.
>If anyone asks, you'll come up with your own reasons for being wherever you happen to go.
>However, the bugs will be assigned positions by Celestia herself.
>She knows which ponies best provide access to each position, as well as the unspoken purpose that she will be able to keep tabs on each of them.
>When asked how she would provide the disguises and openings, she said to leave it to her.
>Each bug would have his chance.

And yay for bumps this afternoon. Bumps for a story I've been wanting to see more of.
>>
>>25566413
>So here you were, eating breakfast at some terrible high-class outdoor resteraunt where you swear to God everything is soaked in perfume.
>Even the food.
>You take a deep drink of your lemon water.
>Especially the food.
>You watch out of the corner of your eye as a unwitting pony gets asked by royal guards for his expertise on a specific problem.
>In this case, emergency royal chariot repair.
>This particular pony apparently runs maintenance on many machines in Canterlot, or at least what passes as a machine in their world.
>They walk slowly past a small alley where a pair of eyes watch from the darkness.
>You note the subtle flash of green followed by a familiar pony emerging a short while afterwords.
>He walks onto the street with all the confidence one would expect from an ordinary citizen.
>You finish off your lemon water by swishing it around in your mouth for a bit.
>Sunbutt was insightful enough to give them at least a few quirks and personality traits of each target.
>Enough that they should pass as them for a while.
>Well, this part went off without a hitch.
>You pay for your "meal" and nonchalantly stroll away towards whatever might strike your fancy.
>In this case you end up browsing some expensive sculptures.
>They were all overpriced rocks to you, but for reasons unknown they were suddenly so fascinating that you just had to pull one of the artists away from the manager to ask him how he does it.
>He was more than happy to explain the difficulties of working with certain rocks, the sharp eye needed to craft every subtle detail that makes the whole, and the lack of appreciation for good artisans these days.
>Eventually you find yourself at the edge of the lot.
>The underappreciated artist is too busy describing the inspiration for a nearby piece to notice the very brief flash of green that came from nearby.
>It was nothing, anyway.
>>
>>25566688
>After hearing his plight, you assure him that at least you can appreciate what he does and that nothing would make you happier than to treat him to a full day relaxing at the local spa.
>He's, of course, too humble to accept such an expensive gift, but reluctantly does so after you insist.
>You nod at him as he practically floats out of the rock lot towards a free day of full service paid for by yours truly, and by extension, by Sunbutt.
>You thrust your hands into your pockets as you wander off once more.
>According to Kalakcha, the particular supplies they were sent to track were somewhat exotic in nature.
>To be more specific, they were a certain mineral that are common to his old home land.
>In fact, it's the only place he knows of that one can obtain it, and somehow shipments of it have found their way into Canterlot and into quite a few expensive items.
>It would seem some rogue changeling has been making a bit of bits on the side without the hive knowing.
>You chuckle slightly at the prospect of it all.
>Some changeling went rogue, and then the changeling who was sent to find out who it was also went rogue.
>Maybe you can talk Kalakcha into going rogue to complete the chain for kicks.
>This mission could become legend among the changeling hive.
>The mission that can never be completed because every changeling that sets out to solve it ends up becoming part of the mystery.
>You glance around at a few trade wagons as they roll past you.
>If only things could be so fun.
>You note that none of these wagons seem to carry anything exotic.
>Most of them are full of fruits and flowers from various nearby areas.
>A few others carry closed crates with papers plastered to the sides labeled as common goods.
>A small handful are covered wagons that you know you can't stop to check, but at least they seem honest enough.
>Nothing strikes you as odd.
>>
>>25567045
>You weren't really necessary for this part, but you thought you'd look around anyway to see what could be seen.
>Unfortunately it wasn't a whole lot.
>You watch "the artist" from before shaking the hooves of a few random nobles and fellow artists as they sit down to discuss whatever.
>Nothing happens.
>Your swarm had originally raised concerns with being touched by ponies, but you assured them that everyone believes what they can see over all else.
>Usually.
>You sigh.
>Would have been nice to end it so early in the day, but of course that couldn't happen.
>You wonder who the lucky one will be that gets to capture this enigma as you stroll away.
>If there's any justice in the universe, it will be Kalakcha himself.
>"The mechanic" has spent most of the day going from factory to factory, checking up on machinery and having idle conversations with acquaintances.
>He has no luck, but at least he also has no problems.
>"The collector" is currently meeting with some clients about acquiring some new center pieces for his gallery.
>Only the most exotic pieces will do.
>You sit on a nearby bench and watch in boredom.
>He's supposed to be some master infiltrator and spy.
>If he's worth a shit, he ditched this place as soon as he turned Kalakcha over.
>He had to have known they wouldn't just let that slide.
>It's been a long and frustratingly uneventful day.
>A few of the changelings had some close calls with some double takes upon contact, but luckily what you said held true.
>Seeing is believing.
>"The worker" has spent all day doing manual labor at the train depot, loading and unloading.
>You made sure Mr. Sir was the lucky one who got that assignment.
>Dude needs to lighten up.
>You whistle to yourself as your attention finds its way back to the collector.
>As his hooves clasp the hooves of one of the fellow aristocrats peddling wares, something odd seems to happen.
>They each exchange brief knowing glances at each other.
"Found you."

>Be Ik'thik, changeling drone.
>This day has been... perfect.
>Your Queen has accepted your relationship with a Lavender, and Lavender seems to have taken everything very well too.
>However, Chrysalis' most recent statement has put a cloud of worry on Lavender.
>You'll have to talk more with her about what the Queen was speaking about.
>"So, Lavender. Are you ready for the ritual to give you the mark?"
>You look to lavender. You can feel the nervous emotions flowing from her.
>"Y-y-yes, Queen Chrysalis... I am ready."
>Chrysalis lowers her head, and a powerful bolt of green lightning shooting, and envelops Lavender.
>The magical aura lifts her up, and on her flank, below her flower cutie mark, a bright green glyph begins to appear and take shape.
>It is roughly circular, and has the vague shape of a changeling depicted in it.
>After a few moments, Lavender is set back down on the ground, and the magic aura around her fades away.
>"It is done. Lavender August, you will now be recognized by changelings as a friend of the swarm."
>Your eyes widen.
>"My... My flank feels wierd. It's... Itchy."
>"Yes, that is an expected side effect, Lavender. That mark will be invisible to you, and any pony, but as I am sure Ik'thik can tell you, It is clear as day to him."

>You mutter under your breath as you stand up and walk around a corner before leaning back against the wall, waiting patiently.
>Even if they both know, it's still in both of their best interests not to draw attention to themselves.
>And so the ruse continues.
>You can't let him leave your sight or else he could simply change and disappear again.
>Mystery bug nods as he dismisses himself and cleverly lets slip the collector's keen interest in one of the other client's wares.
>He's gonna be stuck talking as his target walks away.
>Walks away towards the quieter part of town.
>Walks right in your direction.
>Walks right past you as you step out and easily catch him in just a couple of your relatively massive steps.
>You reach your hand down to touch his mane.
>Instead, you're met with the familiar feel of a bug fin.
>He looks to the side and then up at you.
"We need to talk."
>You say without looking down at him.
>As you both round a corner, he suddenly breaks into a sprint.
>He doesn't get far before you're both enveloped by a golden light and that sickening feeling of being turned inside out overtakes you.
>In a flash, you're both back in your own house.
>He slides to a stop and looks back at you.
>You shrug at him before clutching your gut and walking towards your couch to have a nice sit.
>Sunbutt was already waiting there as well, wearing that familiar expressionless face.
>As you collapse into the sitting position, he turns to sprint away once more only to be teleported back to the center of your room again.
>He stops running and grunts in frustration.
>After a few moments, his head falls in defeat and he turns to you both.
>"So I escaped from one just to fall prey to another."
>You take a deep breath and slowly exhale.
"Alright, so the first question wi-"
>"I won't be talking to either of you."
>He spits the words at you, and you simply nod in response.
>>
>>25568245
"Anyway, first question will be who are you?"
>He doesn't respond.
>He simply sits down and stares straight forward.
>You look over at Sunbutt.
>She returns your look, but says nothing.
>True to her original plan, she wants you to be the one who handles this situation.
>You look back over at the fake pony in your living room.
"You could at least take off that disguise."
>He sighs, and a moment later the disguise flashes away, leaving behind an ordinary changeling.
>Why do they all have to look so identical?
"That feels better, right?"
>He resumes staring forward.
>You stand up and scratch your neck.
"Since you won't say who you are, could you at least tell me why you're here? Well, not 'here,' but in Canterlot?"
>Nothing.
>You watch him for a bit.
>He's like a statue.
>You frown at him.
"Gonna do this the hard way, hm? Some kind of tough guy?"
>Unfazed.
>You walk over to him and crouch down far enough that your eyes can meet.
"I've dealt with tough guys before. I'm sure a lot of them were tougher than you."
>His eyes finally move and meet yours, glaring harshly.
>You lean in slightly and stare back.
>A moment later, your index finger is pressing into his nose.
"Boop."
>He blinks in confusion as you grin at him.
>You hear a mild chuckle come from behind you.
>As you stand back up and turn around, you begin speaking once more.
"We know you're not working with your hive. We just want to know why."
>His head tilts slightly as he watches you walk a short distance before looking back at him.
>"You're very strange."
>His gaze turns to Celestia.
>"You successfully captured the changeling I informed you about. Did you not get everything you needed from him?"
>Celestia answers him.
>"He was not very forthcoming, even when harshly pressed."
>She looks off to the side and the changeling nods.
>"I see."
"We might just have to wait for a bit. I don't think he's gonna say anything until they get back."

>He scoffs in response.
>"Bringing your torturers here, then? They'll do you no good."
>You shrug.
"Something like that."
>His eyes close.
>"I've been prepared for this day for quite a while now. This is the price I must pay, and I accept it."
>Jesus guy.
"Calm down ya dramatic faggot. No one even knows what's gonna happen yet. Do I really strike you as the violent type?"
>He shakes his head.
>"No, you strike me as the unpredictable type, which is far more unsettling."
"You say unsettling, I say fun."
>He opens his eyes and looks up at you.
>"If you think conflict is a game, you're far more disturbing than I had originally thought."
>You cross your arms and take a seat once more.
"Let's just wait, okay?"
>"What could you possibly be waiting for that you believe will change the situation?"
>You really wanted Kalakcha to dramatically walk through the front door and say "me," but you knew he was still at least twenty minutes out.
>Missed opportunity.
>Mystery bug spends the majority of his time sitting still with his eyes closed.
>Likely preparing himself mentally for torture or whatever.
>Celestia hasn't said much of anything or moved really.
>She's extremely patient, but you would expect as much from a seemingly immortal being.
>You've been spending your time studying this guy.
>Despite carefully examining him, you couldn't spot any noticeable differences between him and Kalakcha.
>What if they end up in a scuffle and you don't know who to help?
>That could be annoying.
>You briefly imagine them standing side by side on a rainy rooftop with you pointing a gun at them.
>"You'll have to shoot us both just to be sure."
>One of them would step forward and say.
>The other would then retort.
>"Fuck that, remember the time I saw your junk in the bathtub? Cap this bitch."
>And then you'd shoot that other guy.
>You grin to yourself like a moron as the front door finally opens and a handful of unrelated ponies invite themselves in.

Finally out of the rain, Bright Skies didn't bother to turn on the light. He knew the layout of his home well enough to navigate in the dark. The light would only remind him of how empty the place had become anyway.
He wasn't ready to come home just yet. It didn't feel the same anymore. But he had to leave the tavern. He shuddered slightly at the thought of that mare hanging on him. Not that he had anything against mares. He just found this one to be a bit… overzealous.
Bright Skies gasped as the door swung open behind him letting in a rush of cold wind and rain. Rushing back he gave the door a firm buck, slamming it shut. “Stupid latch…” he muttered as he made his way into the living room.
A deep pain welled up inside him at the doorway. Even in the dark he could feel something missing. Something that left a gaping hole in his life.
His vision flashed as a wave of shock burst through him from the back of his head. His body felt weightless and his head became heavy. The already dark room drifted into a haze of blackness like nothing he'd ever seen before. Then there was nothing but silent darkness.
>>
>>25569930
Dim shapes and movement faded in slowly. Bright Skies let out a light groan in response to the throbbed in the back of his head. “Oh! You're awake!” the figure said as he felt something tighten around his leg. “I was worried that I was too rough with you. But you seem fine, now.”. Bright Skies tried to rub his eyes but his forelegs refused to leave his sides.
He blinked and tried again feeling his body rock slightly as he struggled. “What…” he began before giving another groan. “Oh yeah… sorry about that.” the figure said. “You weren't very cooperative at the bar and so I thought you might resist. But don't worry. I'm not going to hurt you.” The figure came into clear view as she climbed up onto his lap and smiled at him. “I just need you to love me.” the white pegasus said, her smile becoming a somewhat disturbing grin.
Bright Skies tried to push back from her but found himself tied to one of his kitchen chairs. “Don't be like that.” the mare said cheerfully. “If everything goes as planned you probably won't even remember any of this. So just relax and enjoy the ride.”
Her eyes seemed to give off a faint glow as she stared into his. A long moment passed and all she did was stare at him. “What… what are you doing?” Bright Skies finally asked. The white mare blinked as if surprised by his question. “What?” she said sharply. “Why isn't this working? What's wrong with you?”.
>>
>>25569956
Bright Skies shifted in the chair pulling against the bindings on his forelegs. “What do you mean, what's wrong with me?” he sparked back. “You're the one who broke into my home and tied me up!”
“Shut up!” the mare barked at him. “You're supposed to just shut up and love me!”
“Love you?! I don't even know you, lady! Now untie me and get out of my house!”
The mare gritted her teeth and trembled in anger. Before shouting “No! You will… you…”.
She leaned back and climbed clumsily off Bright Skies before stumbling on her hooves. “You…” she struggled once more before slumping into a pile next to the counter and passing out.
An ominous quiet filled the room broken only by a single creak of the chair when Bright Skies moved.
“M-Miss?”

>>25569674
"Finally."
>Apparently they had ditched their high-class disguises for more common ones somewhere along the way.
>Guess Celestia taught them something after all.
>One of them briskly trots directly up to the mystery bug and without hesitation brings one of his forehooves back across his face.
>"You deserve a far more severe punishment, but this will suffice for now. My own desires need to be set aside."
>Mystery bug rubs his face for a moment and grins before shaking his head.
>"The thought that you might be working with them had crossed my mind, but only briefly. They must be truly desperate. How long did it take you to break and sell me out?"
>Instantly Kalakcha is on top of him, pressing his shoulders into the ground as his disguise flashes away.
>"Sell 'you' out? Was it not you who got me captured? Got me tortured?"
>"That does not give you free reign to destroy other hive members. You should have left me alone."
>He retorts.
>Kalakcha leans closer.
>"The Queen allows us to deal with insubordination in any way we see fit within our own swarm, 'swarm eleven lieutenant.'"
>As they glare at each other, you decide to butt in.
"So why did you do it?"
>Neither of them look up at you, but mystery bug replies.
>"Why would I tell you? Why would I tell anyone? My life is now forfeit."
>The rest of his swarm is patiently sitting on the sidelines.
>You're sure he told them not to get involved.
>On the other hand, technically they're both higher rank than them, so maybe they can't?
>Meh, doesn't matter.
"Like I said, nothing has been decided yet."
>>
I'm headed out for the night... I will have more ready to go in the morning. I'll let NotScribble finish posting on this fine evening.
>>
>>25570255
>Kalakcha shakes his head.
>"No, he's right about that. He will be severely punished for betraying a commanding officer, and I will be punished as well for acquiring the aid of an enemy to handle a private conflict."
>He looks back at you.
>"Technically speaking."
>You nod.
"Right."
>"It was for a girl."
>Everyone had all but forgotten Celestia was still there, and her voice rattled them all.
>"Correct? It was you who helped her."
>Everyone gives her an odd look, though mystery bug seems more surprised.
>Kalakcha speaks up.
>"What did he do?"
>She looks up as she thinks.
>"Some time ago, a strange new mineral had begun finding its way into Canterlot goods. As dark and hard as obsidian, without the shine. Most strange. I managed to trace its supply to a young lady who claimed they were gifts. It made her quite wealthy."
>She looks back down at him.
>"That was you. Then you say you were supposed to look into this matter, as this mysterious benefactor could affect your entire hive, but it was you, and you couldn't let her get caught."
>You prop up an eyebrow.
"He betrayed his hive for a chick? Isn't that like, super cliche?"
>"It's sweet, in a way."
>Mystery bug allows his head to lay back as he loses focus and stares at nothing in particular.

>Kalakcha looks back down at him.
>"Is this true?"
>He takes a deep breath and sighs before focusing back on his commander.
>"Have you ever had love freely given to you? Not stolen, no tricks, given without sleight or secrets. She knows exactly what I am."
>He leans closer and squints a bit.
>"She knows exactly what we did. Why would she help me? Why does she care? I didn't understand."
>His head falls back again.
>"After our attack, I was blasted through some trees and severely injured. I could hardly move on my own, let alone sustain a disguise, and she found me there. I thought that this must surely be the end for me, but when my gaze met hers, she held no hatred for me in her eyes. They were full of concern."
>He chuckles slightly.
>"Heh, concern for an enemy's well being. It was absurd. But, she took me to her little cottage and helped me heal, and every day I had to look into those caring eyes. She should be full of malice, I thought, but she wasn't. It was almost torture in itself. I hated her. I hated everything about her."
>His eyes close.
>"Eventually, I could only hate myself. I don't deserve this. What am I to her? Just a monster. I'm no fool, I know what I am, but she loved me anyway. She kept telling me I could be better, that the kindest ponies are always those who have known suffering, and now I could be better. That 'I' could be better."
>His eyes open and he glares up at Kalakcha.
>"So I became better."
>>
>>25570770
>A few moments pass in silence before he finishes.
>"Over time, we grew to love each other. Most don't even know changelings are capable of returning love, only consuming it. When it's stolen, it can't be returned. When it's given... Eventually I got the idea to help her in some way, and that's when this all started. I helped her. It will never be as much as she helped me, but it's all I could do. I knew there would be consequences, but I will gladly suffer them."
>Kalakcha shakes his head.
>"Why didn't you just tell me?"
>He looks up at him and frowns.
>"Would you even understand? How could you understand?"
>Kalakcha turns back and looks at you.
>Celestia follows his gaze and props up an eyebrow at you.
>You look at them both in confusion.

>Lavender looks to you, and you nod an affirmation.
Indeed... Its already grown less bright, but it will still be a clear mark for any changeling.
>"Wh-wh-what's it look like?"
It's the royal mark of The Swarm. A circular mark, that is a depiction of a changeling curled into a circle.
>Lavender moves to take a close look at her itchy spot.
>"Wierd... I really can't see anything... What kind of ritual is needed for a pony to see it?"
>You look to Chrysalis.
>"A fairly laborious, difficult, and somewhat painful ritual... Beyond showing glyphs like that, it also makes changelings in disguise glow brightly as well."
>"Painful?"
>"Yes, Lavender... As an earth pony, you may not be familiar with a lot of magic and its effects on the caster, but some spells can cause physical discomfort of varying degrees while casting."
>She shudders.
>"Atleast I shouldn't have to worry about it once it stops itching then."
>That news gave a wave of relief from Lavender.
So... Lunch? I know there is a party at the Bear Track tonight.
>You turn your eyes to your Queen.
I think you might enjoy it, my leige. The ambient emotions there are quite pleasant, and filling, especially if there's a party.
>"I think more tea for lunch sounds wonderful, and a party sounds... magical."
>You nod to Lavender.
Feel free to make some of your food for yourself, I will make some more tea for all of us.
>>
Chrysalis timeline stuff when?
>>
Changelings in this episode gais.
>>
>>25577286

>You spend the afternoon speaking with your Queen, and Lavender.
>The sheer amount of knowledge Chrysalis was able to share with Lavender about changeling culture was appreciated by both of you.
>Less work for you in the immediate future.
>As the sun gets lower in the sky, you inform your fellows that if we want to get to the party, now might be a good time to head out.
>You also pause to think for a moment.
My Queen... how do you want to be introduced to the ponies at the party? I informed them I likely wouldn't be there because family was visiting this weekend.
>"Hmmm... For a party, 'Mother' might be innappropriate. The disguise I've been u sing might also be inappropriate for 'Sister'... How about 'Cousin'."
That sounds like it could work. Cousin Bahama Breeze?
>Chrysalis nods.
>"Yes, that seems appropriate. This should be quite the pleasant evening."
>In twin flashes of green, both yourself and chrysalis assume your pony disguises.
Then, it's party time. Lets go to The Bear Track, Lavender August and Bahama Breeze.
>You smile and step to the door, opening it with your magic.
>Moving outside, you make the short walk over to the main street, and onto the patio of the saloon.
This is it, Bahama. The Bear Track.
>You can see your disguised Queen sniffing the air.
>"Yesssss... This will do quite well."
I figured you would like it, cousin Bahama.
>You walk through the front doors, open to the cool evening air.
>>
board is fast right now.
>>
>>25578476

>Inside, you see your co-workers usual table, one of the big circular ones in the middle of the dimly lit room.
>They see you with Lavender, and wave you over.
>A few look very suprised when they see Bahama Breeze following behind you.
So, I did manage to make it tonight. Everyone, this is my cousin who came to visit... Bahama Breeze.
>The looks your two male co-workers are giving her must be delicious...
>Burnt Oak, the stallion in charge of running the heavy movement equipment seems particularly taken.
>You let out a sly smile.
So, how is everyone doing on this fine evening?
>You get a wide range of approval from the ponies sitting at the table.
Sounds good. To celebrate family...
>You shoot looks to the two you came with.
Next round's on me!
>You slam your hoof down on the table, and the ponies let out a triumphant cheer, quickly grabbing the attention of the waiter.
>"So, what'll you have, Pine Fresh?"
I'll take a Shiner Buck... Put everyone at this table's next drink on me... PLus whatever these fine mares behind me desire.
>You take a seat at the table, and are quickly joined by Lavender and the disguised Chrysalis.

>Everyone is having a good time.
>And you are sure your Queen is getting a delectable meal.
>Sawin' Steve brings up a point you hadn't thought about.
>"So, Pine and Lavender, what are you gonna do this winter? I reckon we only got a month and a half or so of timber season left."
>What ARE you going to do? You've built up a reasonable savings with your work at the lumber camp, and having Lavender, despite her extra food expenditures, makes it even bigger.
To be honest, I haven't put much thought into it... I figured I would probably stay up here in Cloudcrop, but I don't know how much there is to do job-wise.
>Gusty Leaves, your supervisor speaks up.
>"I know a good chunk of those who stay up in the cold of winter take jobs at the ski resort... Pegasi like myself make sure the snow is perfect, and other ponies do various jobs around the place."
>Gusty stretches out her wings proudly.
Ski resort, eh... Can't say I've ever gone skiing before, but that seems like it could be legit.
>Bahama Breeze gives you a sly look.
>"Well, Piney, knowing OUR family, you might want to find yourself an indoor job at a place like that."
Oh, I'm sure I'll be fine either way... Thats what winter jackets are for.
>"Your choice... Just don't write to me complaining how miserable it makes you."
>The other ponies around the table chuckle, and mumble to one another about how they feel about winter in Cloudcrop.

>You look to Lavender.
What do you normally do during the off months for tree cutting, Lavender?
>"Odd jobs around town, usually... Splitting logs, small scale tree cutting for firewood..."
Maybe we can find something more for the both of us to do this winter. Anyway, how about another round for the table!
>The ponies around you let out a cheer, and you can feel all the good vibes filling the air.
>Chrysalis, disguised as Bahama Breeze, shoots you a pleased look.
>"Looks like you are doing pretty good for yourself here, cousin Pine Fresh."
Indeed. Life is good.
>Another beer comes out for you, and you savor it.
>Today went so much better than you had thought possible.
>Lavender accepted openly by your Queen, given a mark to ensure her safety should she need to interact with other changelings...
>You've been given an effective promotion, too... You get to build and run the changeling enclave in Cloudcrop as you see fit.
>Everything looks to be easy sailing from here on out.

I thought /bug/ would be going insane. Surely there must have been a retard changeling or something for us to latch on to.

I'm in minus eight GMT/PST. Currently three twenty-two in the late evening here on the west coast.

I would write a story/CYOA type thing, but dead thread, so it would get NOTHING.

Fuuuuck. Lost power last night, and lost some progress writing.

It was a nice part of the finale.

We need more of the timeline where Chrysalis won.

>>25596327
This desu

The finale was certainly a boon to all the fanfic writers out there. Now there's cannon timelines of a war against Sombra, Zecora's resistance against the Changelings, and the Kingdom of Nightmare Moon!

Anyway, TIME FOR GREEN!!

>>25551011
> With the vision finally gone, their heads cleared, and they felt invigorated by the energy they'd absorbed.
> "Damn Melyrid, that was better than anything I've ever felt just draining creatures before." Thespid told her, "Where did you find this thing?".
> Melyrid's proud smile showed a twinge of smug superiority, as she told Thespid "Actually, I made it myself.".
> Thespid was shocked, "Shut. Up!" she said as a proud amazed smile overtook her face.

> Melyrid almost blushed, as she went on and explained "Well, I really can't take all the credit for it. Many other Changelings have attempted to create crystals like this, that could absorb and store the energy of love. I studied their work, and learned from their failures. Most of them couldn't work without a captive victim. I was the one who came up with the idea of magically scraping crystal dust from the main crystal, and then using that dust to channel the energy back into the main one. And the best part is, it doesn't actually drain energy at all. It simply captures the energy they freely release, and then stores it here. And given the intensity of the energy they release when they use our crystal dust-filled merchandise, we'll easily be able to collect more than enough energy to keep ourselves well fed for the rest of our lives!".

> "So we're really not hurting any pony at all, are we?" Agraul asked.
> "Not in the slightest." Melyrid said proudly shaking her head.
> Agraul smiled as he looked back down at the mother crystal, "So many Changelings could learn so much from you Melyrid.".
> Melyrid was certainly proud of what she'd accomplished, but that last remark really made her blush.
>>
>>25597807
> "Well, I think that's enough inflating of my ego for one day." Melyrid told them.
> She slid her hoof across the mother crystal, shifting the blurred image within.
> "There's one more still in here. Anyone still hungry?" she asked.
> Thespid and Agraul looked at each other, and she told Melyrid "Heck yeah, let's do that again!".

> Agraul was a little disappointed, "Just one? But we had four customers last night.".
> "I guess not all of them were in the mood to put their purchases to use right away." Melyrid suggested.
> Thespid rolled her eyes saying "Yeah, that one girl just bought a couple T-shirts and some drinking straws. I kind of doubt she did anything freaky with that.".
> "That leaves either Pinkie Pie or Cherry Pop." Melyrid told them, "Anyone care to place any bets as to which one it was?".

> Thespid's ears suddenly perked up, "Wait. Did you just say... 'Cherry'..." dramatic pause "'Pop'?".
> Melyrid smiled as she briefly rolled her eyes, "Yes. His name was Cherry Pop.".
> Thespid got a good laugh out of that one, "Oh that is just too perfect!".
> "Well given what that guy bought, I really hope it was him." Thespid said, "But I'd be pretty surprised if Pinkie Pie didn't do anything after all the time she spent in here.".

> "What do you think Agraul?" Melyrid asked.
> Agraul eagerly smiled saying "I think I'm still a little hungry!" as he put his hoof back on the mother crystal.
> Thespid did the same.
> And as Melyrid put her hoof on it as well, she told them "Well I hope you're more than a LITTLE hungry! Because judging from the energy still left in this thing, this next one's going to be even more intense than the last.".

> Thespid put on the most serious looking frown she could make, and with one hard nod she told Melyrid "Bring it on.".
>>
>>25597911
> Their next vision began once again in a bedroom, but this time with some pony they hadn't expected at all.
> Cherry Berry.

> "Uhhh. I thought this was supposed to be either Pinkie Pie or Cherry Popper." Thespid said with a confused look on her face.
> "His name was Cherry Pop." Agraul corrected her.
> "I know what I said."

> Cherry Berry was looking quite nervous, almost afraid, as she stood by the foot of the bed.
> Suddenly the door swung open, and in walked Cherry Pop with the bag from the shop in his mouth.
> "Did you get everything?" she asked him.
> "Sure did!" he told her as he put the bag down beside her.

> "Wow, this is fantastic." Thespid said, "Cherry Pop is gonna pop Cherry Berry's cherry!" and started to chuckle.

> "Actually it was really easy." Cherry Pop said, "I just gave the list to one of those Changelings, and she went and got everything for me.".
> Cherry Berry smiled shyly as she looked away for a moment, "Thanks for doing this for me. After that scene at the café, there was no way I could risk being seen in there.".

> Now it finally made sense to Melyrid, "Huh. So he really was picking those things up for a friend.".

> Then Cherry Pop put his left front hoof to Berry's cheek, pulling her into his longing gaze, and both of them closed their eyes for a slow sweet kiss.

> Thespid raised an eyebrow with a chuckling smirk, "Damn! These ponies sure have a loose interpretation of what constitutes a 'friend'.".
>>
>>
>>25598043
> Berry and Pop continued their kissing for little while longer, and Agraul let out a relaxing sigh as he admired their genuine affection for each other.
> Thespid heard this and glared at him for a moment, which he didn't notice at all.
> Then Thespid just rolled her eyes and shook her head thinking *What a sentimental sap!*.

> Finally Berry and Pop ended their long kiss with a couple small ones, and they looked into each others eyes.
> Berry closed her eyes and rubbed her cheek against Pop's left hoof, still holding her face, as he asked her "You know how much I love you, right?".
> Not even opening her eyes, Berry just nodded letting out a soft "Mm-hmm.".

> Then Melyrid gave a romantic sigh as well.
> Thespid barely looked at her, and shook her head again.

> CRACK!!
> "WHOA, holy shit!"

> Before anyone could blink, Cherry Pop lifted up his right hoof with blinding speed and smashed it strait into Berry's jaw!
> She was hit so hard her front hooves lifted off the floor, and before her hind legs could even react, Berry fell flat on her back.
> It happened so fast, no one even noticed the vicious teeth clenching look on Pop's face as he launched Berry with that uppercut.
> When Berry hit the floor, her legs fell to her left side against the foot of the bed.

> The Changelings were absolutely paralyzed with terror at how abruptly the mood had shifted.
> "What the fuck was THAT!?" Thespid asked in a panic.
> They all cringed at the sight before them, with not a single clue between them as to what they were witnessing.
>>
>>25598158
> Cherry Pop looked down with smug superiority, as Cherry Berry laid dizzy on the floor groaning in pain.
> Then Pop reached into the paper bag, and pulled out the fuzzy hoof cuffs.
> With his other hoof he grabbed one of Berry's hind legs, pulled her closer, then shifted her body onto her belly.
> As Berry's vision started to clear, Pop sat down on the small of her back.
> Holding the cuffs in his mouth, he reached down and grabbed her hooves.
> Pop pulled up berry's forelegs and folded them behind her back, as he tightened the wide straps around her wrists.
> Berry turned her head, trying to catch sight of Pop in her peripheral vision, as she told him "Cherry Pop. Please! That hurts!" as tears welled up in her eyes.
> Once he had the cuffs on good and tight, Pop pulled hard on the back of her mane and told her "Get used to it.".

> The Changelings all looked at each other again, and Thepsid repeated herself "Seriously, what the heck is going on here!?".

> Berry cried out in pain as Pop continued pulling her mane, and he simultaneously reached into the paper bag to pull out the ball gag.
> Pop struggled to get the ball in her mouth and the straps wrapped around her head, as Berry kept shaking it off pleading with him "No! Please! Stop it!".
>>
>>25598272
> After a couple more failed attempts, Cherry Pop got frustrated and gave up trying to put the ball gag on Cherry Berry's face.
> Instead he put the ball gag on the bed, then reached down and rolled Berry onto her back facing her upward.
> Pop grabbed Berry's bangs, pulled her head up as he leaned in close to her, and told her "You wanna do this the hard way? Fine!".
> Then Pop tossed her head back against the floor, raised his right hoof out to the side, then smacked her hard across the face!
> Berry shrieked aloud, and the tears started running down her face.
> Then Pop raised his left hoof, and smacked her across the other side of her face!
> Right, left, right, left!
> Again and again Pop kept hitting her face from side to side, his teeth clenched with every swing.

> The Changelings could scarcely stand to watch it.
> Even Thespid was disgusted.
> "We've gotta stop this!" Agraul told them.
> "There's nothing we can do!" Melyrid told him, "We're witnessing a memory of something that already happened last night. Everything we see here already ended hours ago. All we can do is watch.".
> "Well then we have to tell someone!" Agraul insisted, "We can't just let him get away with this!".
> "And how are we going to explain how we know any of this!?" Thespid asked, despite sharing his frustration.
> "You wanna tell everyone we have a magic crystal that lets us spy on our customers, AND absorbs their energy!?"
> Agraul hung his head, unable to think of an answer.
> As Thespid watched Berry getting smacked over and over, she couldn't help but remark "By the Queen. THIS is how these ponies express their LOVE for each other, and they have the nerve to call US monsters!?".

> Cherry Pop relentlessly continued pelting Cherry Berry's face with his front hooves.
> Then he started slowing the rhythm of his strikes, putting more force into each one as he slowed.
> Berry's head was being hit so hard that it was actually bouncing off the floor each time, like her neck was as loose as a rubber band.
> "By the hive, he's gonna kill her." Thespid said, "He is actually gonna beat this poor girl to death!".
> Agraul turned his head away and covered his eyes, "I can't... I can't watch this!".
> Melyrid gritted her teeth and took a deep breath as she watched Cherry Pop raise his right hoof up high, tensing every muscle in his body for one last mighty blow!

> "LEMONS!!"

> Suddenly everything froze.
> No movement.
> Not a single sound to be heard.

> Agraul cautiously peeked out from behind his hoof.
> Cherry Pop still had his hoof raised, but the tension was completely gone from it.
> The anger had vanished from his face, instead replaced with fear and concern.
> Berry was breathing heavy, and Pop asked her "Was that too much? Are you okay!?".
> Berry nodded, "Yeah, I'm okay. I just need a breather.".
>>
>>25598470
> Agraul looked up, once again completely baffled by the stark change of mood.
> "What the heck is going on here!?"
> "She used their safety word." Melyrid told him.
> Agraul had no understanding of what Melyrid just said, and asked "What does that even mean?".

> Thespid took over the explanation, "They agree on a safety word before they start. And whenever things get out of hand and one of them doesn't like what's going on, they call out the safety word to let the other know that they genuinely want them to stop.".
> Agraul was still confused, "Well if they want to stop, why don't they just say 'stop'!?".
> "Because they're roll playing." Melyrid told him, "Believe it or not, they actually enjoy doing this to each other. By using a safety word they can pretend to be victims or any other roll they enjoy, without seriously endangering each other.".

> Agraul could hardly wrap his head around the idea, "Hold on a second. Are you trying to tell me, that she actually ENJOYS him beating her senseless like that!? And that she was just PRETENDING to be scared of him!?".
> "Yeah." Thespid told him, "It's fucking twisted, but they're apparently an S&M couple.".
> Agraul shrugged, and Thespid told him "That means sado-masochist. He's a sadist, which means he get's off on hurting her. And she's a masochist, which means she gets off on her own physical pain.".
> Agraul finally understood what they meant, but the whole idea made no sense to him.
> "Didn't you feel that?" Melyrid asked Agraul, "You might not have noticed through your own fear, but every time he struck her, a surge of euphoria erupted from her body. Not only is she enjoying this, but she's enjoying it more than HE is! A LOT more!".
>>
>>25598583
> "That's that craziest thing I've ever heard!" Agraul declared.
> "It's not for us to judge what our customers choose to do with each other." Melyrid told him.
> "Yeah, and you saw how fast he stopped when she said 'lemons'." Thespid pointed out, "Not to mention that panicked look on his face.".
> "Yes." Melyrid interjected, "Apparently this fellow is a much better actor than I gave him credit for. So let's all just calm down and try to enjoy the rest of our meal." she said as she glared over at Agraul.

> He didn't get it.
> And he didn't want to get it.
> But apparently, everything was fine.

> Cherry Berry finally caught her breath, then looked up at Cherry Pop and told him "Okay, I'm ready.".
> Pop leaned down and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips, "Love you baby.".
> After briefly smiling at each other, Pop once again flipped Berry over on her stomach.
> He picked up the ball gag with one hoof, and yanked hard on Berry's mane with the other.
> She let out a yelp, and already looked completely terrified and in agony once again.

> Melyrid looked impressed as she said "Looks like she's a pretty good actor herself.".
>>
>>25598694
> Cherry Pop placed the ball gag over Berry's face, pulling on the straps like reigns, forcing her to arch her neck back.
> Berry spat around the ball in her mouth, as her muffled whines of pain came through.
> Even as Pop tightened the straps, he didn't give her any slack.
> While holding on to the straps rather than her mane, Pop leaned back so the weight of his whole body was bending her up.
> With his free hoof he reached behind and spanked Berry's ass.
> First her right cheek, then her left.
> Each time her body twitched in surprise, and she gave a muffled squeak through her nose.
> But spanking didn't hold Pop's interest very long, and he soon started rubbing between her spread flailing legs, coaxing even louder noises from her.
> After a bit of that, Pop reached back into the bag, and Berry's back arched to the point of her looking strait up, groaning in pain.

> Agraul looked at Melyrid and Thespid, and asked them "How is she supposed to use a safety word with that thing in her mouth?".
> Melyrid and Thespid looked at each other, at first not sure how to answer.
> "Well, I'm sure they have some kind of signal worked out." Thespid guessed.
> Agraul frowned at her feeble answer, and pointed out that "She's pinned to the floor with her hooves cuffed behind her back. What kind of signal can she possibly give him!?".
> Thespid looked back at Melyrid, who simply shrugged with wide eyes.
> Then Thespid asked her "Those cuffs have an emergency release, right?".
> "Oh, right!" Melyrid suddenly remembered.
> "Yes, she can release herself anytime she wants." she said with a confident nod.
> Agraul continued his disappointed frown, and asked "And how is she supposed to know about that emergency release, when she didn't even get a chance to SEE those cuffs, before he put them on her wrists behind her back!?".
> Agraul had pure logic on his side.
> Thespid and Melyrid had nothing.
>>
>>25598821
> Cherry Pop pulled out the pearly anal beads and the lube.
> With the bottle in his mouth, he squeezed some onto his hoof, and started rubbing it under the base of Berry's tail.
> After rubbing it in for a little while, Pop wiped off his hoof, grabbed the anal beads by the handle at their base, and squirted some lube along them as well.
> Once that was done, he finally released the straps on Berry's ball gag, and let her drop to the floor.

> Next Pop stood up off Berry's back, and made sure the beads were completely covered in lube.
> Then taking a firm hold on the base of her tail from behind, he lifted her ass up off the floor.
> Berry looked back at him with fearful dread in her eyes, and frantically shook her head as Pop waved the beads over her backside like a pendulum, with a maniacal smile.
> Pop pressed the tip of the beads against Berry's anus, and she immediately turned her face away from him, closing her eyes and doing her best to brace herself.

> With everything properly lubed up, it didn't take too much force for Pop to slide the first small bead in, despite her intense clenching.
> Berry shrieked through the ball gag, and her hind legs tried desperately to push away.
> But Pop didn't let up his grip on her tail, and pushed the next bead in her ass.
> Then the next, and the next, one after another, slowly but surely.

> Berry squealed and shrieked with each and every one, struggling like mad to push away from Pop with her hind legs.
> Unfortunately with her face and collar bone pressed against the floor, the pushing of her hind legs only served to raise her ass higher up, making it even easier for Pop to keep shoving the beads deeper and deeper.
> And as each bead along the line got gradually bigger and bigger, Pop had to put in more effort and push harder and harder than before.
>>
>>25598931
> Cherry Berry's eyes were rolled back as her eyelids twitched, and she groaned long and loud even through her ball gag.
> Finally, with one last mighty shove, Pop forced the last fat bead inside, leaving only the handle protruding from her ass.
> As Berry's quivering breath and sporadic twitching continued, Pop decided to spank her ass a few more times before moving on.

> He pushed her ass over causing her to fall onto her side, then lifted one of her hind legs up to spread them apart.
> Pop knelt down right in front of her spread legs, letting his hardened dick rest on top of her moistened puffy lips, as he took hold of her back hooves.
> Feeling the heat and weight of his cock against her, Cherry Berry struggled to raise her head to get a look at it.
> Pop pulled his hips back nice and slow, letting his shaft drag over her lips.
> He pulled her legs open as far as they could go, causing her lips to part, and letting his shaft drag directly on top of her clit.
> Pop clutched Berry's hind legs tighter as he felt the rising vibrations in them, maintaining the strain of pulling them apart.

> Finally Pop had moved his hips back far enough, for the head of his dick to slide down between the wet quivering lips of her pussy.
> He was in position.
> And while Cherry had been watching his dick slide over her, Pop had been watching her face.
> As soon as he was lined up and poised to push it in, Pop stopped completely, focused only on Berry's eyes.

> Waiting.

> Berry kept staring at his dick, her whole body quivering, waiting for him to start pushing it inside of her.
> When he stopped there was a moment of anticipation, then a moment of confusion as to why he was taking so long.
> Then Berry looked up at him.
>>
>>25599043
> The instant Cherry Pop saw Berry's eyes shifting to look up at him, he pulled her hind legs in and thrust his whole body forward!
> Cherry Berry's entire spine suddenly arched up so hard that only the top of her head was touching the floor!
> His dick shot through the walls of her pussy like a bullet through the barrel of a gun!
> The piercing sensation of his stone hard cock triggered a shrill violent scream from Berry, which hardly sounded muffled at all by her ball gag.

> Even as the head of Pop's dick slammed against her womb, he still had length to spare, and kept shoving.
> The walls of Berry's pussy began to stretch inward, as his dick demanded to get that last inch all the way in.
> Berry was still shrieking her way through that same scream, until her lungs finally had no more air left to give.
>But still her entire body arched in sheer agony, while Pop's grip on her legs kept her ass lifted off the floor.
> His hanging balls perched on the handle of the anal beads.
> He kept pushing deep inside of her, while pulling her legs behind him.
> Relentlessly he demanded to get all the way inside, and he did not let up in the slightest until he achieved his goal.

> Once he did, he held it all the way inside her for a few seconds, then slowly started pulling back out, releasing the enormous tension on both of them.
> Berry's body finally began to ease up, and she lowered her body back to the floor.
>>
>>25599177
> But Cherry Pop had barely pulled more than halfway out before he suddenly gave another sharp thrust!
> Cherry Berry choked on her own drool and started coughing frantically, as she tried to scream out in pain.
> Her back arched up again, and fluids began to spurt from her nose, making it hard to breath.

> Agraul turned to his sisters again, "Seriously! How is she supposed to let him know if she wants him stop!?".
> Thespid and Melyrid still had nothing.

> Pop started into a pounding drum beat of pulling it out, slamming it in, pulling it out, and slamming it in.
> Each time Berry's head was thrown back in convulsions as her back arched.

> While he kept this up, Pop started standing up on his hind legs, lifting Berry's back end up along with him.
> Even when she wasn't convulsing, the back of her head was the only part of her touching the floor.
> Pop's every thrust elicited a deep baritone surge of noises from Berry, whose face became covered in snot and drool.
> Her eyes rolled so far back in her head, she looked like she was possessed.
>>
>>25599312
> Suddenly Cherry Pop pulled out completely, and hoisted Berry's left hind leg up high while letting the other one fall to the floor.
> He likely wouldn't have pulled out at all if not for the handle of the anal beads that was sticking out of her ass.
> Pop tried to reinsert himself, but the long narrow handle poked into his hip when he got close.
> Fortunately the metal wire inside the rubber was thin enough to be bendable, and with a quick jerk he bent it out of his way.

> This drew another hard grunt from Cherry Berry, and a group wide cringe from the Changeling's.

> Finally Pop was able to start slamming his cock back in again, and after a minute or so of brutal pounding, he started spanking Berry's ass with his free hoof.
> It was too much trouble for him to try keeping a rhythm between spanking and thrusting, so he just kept himself shoved in as far as he could go, and focused on slapping her butt cheeks into a deeper shade of pink.

> Berry's constant writhing and squirming kept Pop well stimulated, even when he wasn't thrusting.
> He could feel himself getting close to the end, and again switched hooves to hold up her leg.
> Now with his left front hoof, Pop started rubbing her clit, and with no measure of slow gentle buildup.
> Immediately he started pressing and rubbing into it hard and fast.
> Berry's convulsions became even more intense, and Pop resumed the merciless thrusting of his cock.
> Berry's squeals sharpened in pitch, and every jerk and twist of her sweating body challenged Pop's ability to keep hold of her.
>>
>>25599439
> Cherry Pop held nothing back as he angrily ground his hoof into her sweet spot, and slammed his throbbing cock in and out of her.
> There was only seconds left before he wouldn't be able to hold himself back anymore.
> After a few more viciously hard thrusts, Cherry Pop took his hoof off her pussy to grab hold of her raised leg, freeing up his other hoof to reach down.

> Before Cherry Berry even had a chance to react, Pop quickly grabbed hold of the bent handle, and simultaneously yanked out the anal beads, his dick, and dropped her on the floor, all at once!

> Berry unleashed a long heaving moan as she fell with her back on the floor, with her legs spread wide, and her entire body vibrating uncontrollably.
> That loud moan of hers continued to drag on even as Pop stood up strait on his hind legs, spurting his white hot seed all over her.
> He didn't even bother aiming, he simply clenched his eyes and teeth shut, and blindly fired off one surge of semen after another, with his forelegs arched behind him.
> The muscle spasms in the base of his shaft flicked his squirting load upward, making sure plenty of it landed on Berry's face and mane.
> Even as the last of his load was spent and slowed to a trickle, Berry's singular orgasmic moan was still going.
>>
>>25599558
> Cherry Pop leaned to his right and collapsed on the bed.
> After taking a moment to catch his breath, Pop shifted his position to look down and check on Cherry Berry.

> She was still lying on the floor.
> Her forelegs cuffed under her back.
> Hind legs spread wide open.
> Eyelids flickering like they knew Morse code.
> Her pupils gone on a hopeless mission to find the back of her skull.
> Vaginal juices spurting from her pussy.
> Her entire body still vibrating like she was having a seizure.
> And absolutely covered in his cum, from her hair to her thighs.
> Cherry Pop took a moment to admire his work, looking down on her with a proud affectionate smile.
> Then after a deep cleansing breath, Pop got up off the bed and walked out of the room.
> Leaving Cherry Berry still shaking on the floor.

> The Changelings once again picked themselves up off the floor, having been brought to their knees by the euphoric avalanche that Cherry Berry had experienced.

> "Praise the Queen, she really did enjoy herself." Thespid said, "That was even better than Lyra and Bon Bon." as hard as it was to believe.
> "I still can't believe anyone could enjoy being in that much pain." Agraul said.
>>
>>25599691
> With Cherry Berry and Cherry Pop done, the Changelings assumed the vision would end, but it didn't.
> They remained in the bedroom as Berry continued her spastic convulsions on the floor.
> "Shouldn't we be back in the basement by now?" Thespid asked.
> Then Agraul heard Pop's returning footsteps, "Oh please tell me there isn't anymore!".

> Cherry Pop walked through the door holding a sandwich in one hoof, already in the middle of chewing up his first bite.
> Then he sat on the corner of the bed and simply watched Berry writhing on the floor.
> "No, I think he's done." Thespid told Agraul.

> "So why are we still watching this?" he asked.
> Both of them looked at Melyrid, who explained "We're still in this vision because we're still feeding on her energy, because she's still having an orgasm. The vision lasts for as long as the crystal dust had passionate love energy to capture from them. Which means we're not finished, until she is.".
> "She's STILL having an orgasm!?" Agraul asked in amazement.
> "Damn! She's been like that for almost ten minutes now!" Thespid added.
> Melyrid looked Cherry Pop up and down, "And he didn't even use the cock ring.".

> It was still a few more minutes before Cherry Berry's crippling orgasm finally passed.
> As she gradually calmed her breathing and stopped shaking, she looked up at Cherry Pop who had already finished his sandwich.
> He smiled proudly and told her "Welcome back.".
> Then the vision finally began to fade.
> The Changelings were back in the basement, and they'd all had their fill for one day.

Going to have more to post tonight. How will poor Ik'thik handle the freezing cold that comes with living in the mountains during the winter?

By living in the snowy mountains, where it snows like one week a year.

>You are drone
>And that's all you are really, you're just a little drone for Queen Chrysalis
>A humble little bug, like you, carries out the most mundane tasks for the hive
>Caring for the young, distributing the love rations throughout the hive, construction...
>Burying bodies...
>That was your current job, as much as you didn't want to do it, you knew it had to be done
>After the failed invasion, a many changelings were battered and bruised, or sometimes even plain dead
>You mourned the loss of your siblings, as did the queen
>The queen had been unconscious when you brethren had carried her back to the hive
>When she had woken and found out how many of her brood had passed, she said not a word and sulked in her chambers
>That's where she's been ever since
>You sighed as you finished your duties for the day and wandered away from the tomb
>You are a drone
>And this is what you do
>You chirped a solemn greeting to other changelings as you passed by them, each one lamenting about the failed invasion
>It was a devastating loss for the thousand strong hive, now down about three hundred drones
>Sure, your queen could always birth more changelings, but the invasion made collecting love hard for the gatherers
>It shouldn't matter to you
>You're just a drone
>You do the mundane tasks, and do mundane things
>You slowly trotted through the corridors of the hive, passing by fellow drones and soldiers
>You're a drone, but that doesn't mean you don't care
>The guards to your mother's door paid you no heed as you simply trotted through, entering her dimly lit chambers
>You care about your siblings, and about your mother
>You slowly and carefully trotted forward, towards your sobbing queen
>Wrapping both hooves around your queen, you softly chirped a greeting
>The queen's sobs ebbed away as you squeezed her abdomen
>You love your family
>Chrysalis sighed as she wrapped both hooves around you as well
>And your family loves you

Not particularly good, but it'll suffice.

Ch. 8

>The end of lumber season has come, with the arrival of the autumn rains.
>The heavy equipment becomes to difficult to operate, and the weather has also become significantly cooler.
>A good chunk of the ponies have left, or are preparing to leave within the next few days.
>All of your co-workers have left town outside of Gusty Leaves.
>And Lavender, of course.
>Gusty Leaves has told you to expect snow soon...
>Lavender and yourself have gone to the nearby ski resort, and tried to see what kind of positions you could find.
>Luckily they had positions for both of you.
>Being that you look like a unicorn, and have shown competency with levitation, you are assigned to monitor the top of a ski lift, and take care of ponies who mess up the disembark.
>An 'inside' position, but it mostly is just going to keep you out of the wind.
>It's still going to be cold, unless you get put on the big lift... That one has a heated control room at the top of the mountain.
>Hopefully, the ski resort can provide a reasonable supplement to the love Lavender gives you for sustainance.
>Lavender... She didn't get the same 'cushy' position.
>She has gotten assigned to operating heavy equipment.
>Snow blowers to clear paths, chainsaws to clear fallen trees, groomers for keeping the slopes in tip top shape...
>A little more exposed, but atleast the groomer is enclosed.
>The resort itself looked reasonable, to someone who had never been skiing.
>Small hotel for ponies to stay in, lodge to warm up in between runs.
>>
>>25602203

>With the coming of the cool weather, and snow possibly this evening, you have decided to make use of your townhome's fireplace.
>Using the little bit of time off since the timber work finished, you and Lavender have taken the time to make an impressive stack of firewood on your back patio for the coming winter.
>You had little need for the fireplace in the summer, but now that winter is approaching, it is the main source of heat for the townhome.
>You stack up several larger logs into a cabin like pile, around a small pile of waste paper and small twigs.
>Using a simple fire spell, you light up the kindling pile.
>Within a few minutes, you have a pleasing blaze filling the room with warmth and light.
>You snuggle up with Lavender on the couch.
>She is already giving you a pleasant flow of emotions.
How are you feeling today, my sweet?
>Lavender looks at you, and you feel the love intensify.
>"I feel wonderful... This winter will be the best... Better job, better lodgings, best companion..."
I agree, Lavender... This will be a wonderful winter.
>Chrysalis' visit finished up well, and she has given you her wishes that Cloudcrop might become one of her personal retreats.
>If you can find a possible business to open up, she can put 'family money' towards building something.
>Perhaps a nice mountain lodge for the Queen, with space for you and Lavender as well... And any other changelings who come to visit
>And you are the drone in charge of it all.
>You have to just think of something first.
>Otherwise, it might be tough to explain why you have so many family members coming and going.
>>
>>25602447

>The fireplace does a good job of keeping the place warm.
>Though, mornings might have to be supplemented with the oven.
>So, that might put muffins on the menu more often.
>Which is fine by both you and Lavender.
>You enjoy snuggles for several hours, and you get up for a moment to put on some herbal tea.
>Before you return to your seat to await the kettle finishing, you take a peek out the front window.
>Gusty Leaves was correct...
>The first snow of the year is leaving a thin dusting of white across the dimly lit town of Cloudcrop.
Ooooo, look Lavender! It's started snowing.
>She turns around on the couch, and takes a look out the window as well.
>"So it is... The first snow is always so... comfy."
>You nod in agreement.
Up here will probably have more snow than I've ever seen before... I've only ever seen a foot or so at most.
>Lavender chuckles.
>"You'll definitely see more than that up here, Piney... I figure within two weeks, we'll have 3 foot of snow or more."
>Your eyes widen.
>You suppose it makes sense... High elevation, and a ski resort...
>At least you already bough yourself a nice heavy winter parka.
>Chrysalis might have been right about the cold here.
Neat... So much snow should be neat.
>>
>>25602889

>Lavender's prediction was right.
>Within the week, there was significant snow, enough to open up the ski resort.
>You and Lavender report for your first proper day of work.
>Being the new guy, you are assigned to work the top of the smallest, slowest lift.
>The magic carpet... Its just a big inclined conveyor belt, perfect for little fillies and colts who can't use a regular chair lift.
>And, at the top, all you got is a wooden box.
>No windows, just a little wooden box to block atleast some of the wind.
Well, this kinda sucks...
>Inside the box, you have an emergency stop button, if you see somepony fall over on the lift, and a radio to talk to the pony down at the base of the lift.
>There is a stallion you met working the bottom lift.
>An earth pony who goes by Cloudy Haze.
>Seemed like a decent enough fellow.
>"Alright, Pine Fresh, you ready to crank up the magic carpet?"
>You reply to the voice over the radio.
Affirmative.
>You throw a power switch, and assume Cloudy has done the same, as the lift starts moving.
>"Here come the first ponies."
>You can look down and see the bottom of the lift, and observe a small line starting to grow on your lift.
>>
>>25603294

>A minute or so later, the first pony reaches the top of the lift.
>A cute little filly, covered in a big puffy winter jacket.
>You get a taste of the pleasant flavor of excitement and joy.
>This could work out well, if every pony coming by is giving off emotions like this...
>The filly reaches the top, and skis off to go down the adjacent bunny slope.
>A few moments later, another pony comes by, giving off similar emotions.
>Oh yes. You could get used to this.
>As the day wears on, you get the occasional pony that falls disembarking, and you are able to quickly grab them with your magic, and set them on their way.
>You are able to pull a pretty decent meal together throughout the day, despite the cold being bitter.
>You need goggles.
>And a better hat.
>You will also need to try skiing yourself...
>It looks like a good pile of fun, considering the emotions all these ponies are throwing out there.
>At around noon, you pick at the lunch you packed.
>Cold muffins, and some juice. Also, very cold.
>You call down to your co-worker at the bottom of the lift over the radio.

Now with pastebin.

Visions both wonderful and terrifying came and went. Kalumnia’s mine was awash in fever fueled nightmares. He ran, he fought, he screamed, and he cried. And finally, he forgot. Everything he had experienced from the moment he left the bar in pursuit of his prey was gone.
The dim outline of a covered window filtered into view as Kalumnia woke feeling uncomfortably warm and damp. The room was dark but he could make out movement not far from the bed he lay in. He thought little of it at first but as his mind began fitting the pieces together, he realized that there was a pony there and he could not feel the subtle numbing effect of a foreign form on his body.
He began to feel a slight panic building in him with the awareness of his exposure. Kalumnia fought to steady his breath. He knew he would have to fight his way past this pony if he was to escape. Slowly, he moved to sit upright but a pressure over his body held him down. He pulled harder and felt bindings holding him to the bed. His breath quickened as his fear grew and he began to struggle.
The pony turned and put a hoof down on Kalumnia’s chest whispering “Shhh… Stop struggling. You'll hurt yourself.” Kalumnia snarled and continued to fight against his binds. “Get off me! I will not be your prisoner!”
With far more strength that Kalumnia could muster, the pony forced him back down. “Listen. If you calm down, I'll think about untying you. I'm not going to hold you against your will but you're still very sick. So just relax.”
>>
>>25604184
Kalumnia slumped back panting. The brief struggle had drained what little energy he had. The pony eased off him and backed up slightly. A moment later Kalumnia felt the pressure release from his chest. He knew he was free but he could now barely lift a hoof to escape. He closed his eyes and could feel himself being propped up. Then felt a glass touch his lips.
Thirst overwhelmed him, forcing him slurp desperately at the water that was carefully tipped to his muzzle. Kalumnia drank all he could until the glass was pulled away and he took a needed breath of air. After getting his breath back he asked “Who are you? Why are you keeping me here?”
The pony moved away and set the glass down before returning with a damp rag for Kalumnia’s forehead. “My name is Bright Skies. You broke into my house and tied me up. Then you passed out. When I got free I realized you were sick. You had quite a fever so I put you to bed. I was going to get a doctor but you started screaming and then… changing. That was almost two days ago. I tied you to the bed because you kept thrashing around whenever you were awake. And to be honest, I didn't know what you might do when you finally regained your senses. But I'm not holding you prisoner. You'll be free to go when you're well enough.”
>>
>>25604199
Kalumnia groaned in annoyance. The idea of being so helpless… of being tended to by a pony… it was unacceptable. “So… why care for a sick changeling at all? I doubt any other pony would bother to take the risk.”
Bright Skies paused at the question. He had been hoping it wouldn't come up. And in truth he had been avoiding asking it himself. “I… I don't know. It just seemed like the right thing to do. That's enough questions. You need to rest. I'll be back in a couple hours to check on you. Then we can talk about finding you something to eat. You do eat food, right?”
Finally opening his eyes again, Kalumnia could see Bright Skies in a narrow sliver of light. His bright yellow eyes were unmistakably lacking in the fear and disgust that he had expected to see. There was only a slight concern to his look and perhaps a bit of unease.
Kalumnia looked away and with a sigh accepted the fact that he would be dependant on this pony for the time being. “Yeah. I eat food.”

So, Cloduy, how would you rate this day compared to your average day here at the resort?
>A few moments later, you hear your co-workers voice crackle over the radio.
>"Pretty good. Reasonably busy, and the weather's not too cold either."
>Your heart skips a beat at that.
>This is a warm day?
>You are gonna definitely need some better outerwear for this.
Wow... I'm too used to lower elevation winters, cause I am real cold up here.
>You hear a chuckle over the radio.
>"Yeah, the upper stations tend to be more cold... More wind exposure. I'm sure you'll get used to it."
>You shiver, trying to stay warm.
>Eventually, the sun lowers, and some large lights turn on, illuminating the mountainside.
>You can see a few pegasi, including Gusty Leaves, flying overhead with some clouds, dumping some new snow onto the slopes.
>There is something particularly beautiful about the snow falling under the lights.
>Before long, your first day working on the slopes is finished, and you walk down the now turned off magic carpet.
>You nod at Cloudy Haze, and not too far away, you can see Lavender finishing up her work for the day.
>See sees you approach, and gives a wave as she stows the last of her equipment in a storage shed.
>You can see the subtle green glow of the mark she was given, on her flank.
Have a reasonable first day, Lavender?
>You can feel generally positive vibes coming from her as she responds.
>"Pretty good... The equipment is all in pretty good order, and none of the stuff is terribly hard to operate. I like it. How about you"
Overall, not bad... Its do damned cold though.
>Lavender lets out a chuckle.
>>
>>25604630

>"I guess cousin Bahama Breeze wasn't entirely off when it comes to how you and your family handle the cold."
Yeah, yeah... I need some goggles, a hat, and just generally more warm clothes.
>"Can always check out the proshop here at the resort... They should have stuff to cover your needs. Just don't expect cheap."
>Money isn't too much of an issue at the moment... You've gotten a kind gift from your family, and not dieing to exposure seems like a good investment.
>You go inside the lodge, and find the small proshop.
>Its still open.
>The pony working the register nods as you enter, and begin looking around.
>Lavender wasn't joking about the prices...
>The stuff is all of good quality but wow.
>Still, you find some stuff that looks like what you need.
>Goggles, Some nice booties, a cozy warm hat...
>You take your choices up to the pony at the register.
I definitely need some more warm clothing if I'm gonna be sitting outside all day.
>The mare behind the counter nods.
>"So, you're the new guy on the magic carpet right?
>You nod in affirmation.
>"Yeah, its cold out there. This stuff should help though. It'll keep you nice and covered. Nopony will be able to actually see you under all of this.
>Thats an interesting though... So many clothes could be quite handy if you want to get lazy with your disguise...
>But no, thats too risky. Best keep it up at work. Always.
>>
>>25605062

>You return outside, and see Lavender waiting for you.
>"Got what you needed?"
Yup.
>You pull out your new goggles, and put them on.
>So nice... cutting out the wind blowing in your face.
>Lavender giggles at your new accessory.
>"Enjoying that?"
Yes, Lavender, its quite pleasant... Now, lets head home and get a nice roaring fire going. And some nice tea.
>Lavender nods in agreement.
>"Yes, Piney, home would be good."
>Strolling home, a few scattered snow flakes fall from the sky.
>The cold may be miserable, but it is beautiful none the less.
>"I'm so lucky to have you, Piney... You complete me."
>You nod in response.
I love you, Lavender. The winter is shaping up to be quite pleasant. All the ponies on the slopes were quite pleased to be there.
>"A nice meal, eh?"
Indeed.
>Lavender smiles, and you can feel the flame of love flickering on the air.
>You snuggle close to her as you both silently walk back to your home, together.

I think that's all I am gonna post for tonight. I got more already prepared for tomorrow, but I'm probably gonna be too busy to write more.

>>25605587

>Your new job continues similarly until your first day off.
>You spoke with Lavender, and decided you should both spend a day off, skiing at the resort.
>Being that you work there, you get a pretty sweet discount, both on your lift ticket, and on your equipment rental.
>Lavender is decent on skis, and has decided to give you some lessons in the morning, working mostly on the bunny slope.
>Time to actually ride the lift you work on every day.
>Bundled up in all the cold weather gear you own, and skis on your hooves, you get in line for the magic carpet.
>You are excited yourself, and you can feel the ponies around you are having similar thoughts.
>Your turn comes, and Lavender nods to you.
>"Just move forward, and lean forward."
GOt it.
>You push yourself forward by pushing side to side, and you get your skis onto the rubber surface of the magic carpet.
>Yes, this is...
>Oh shit, no...
>The sudden jerk forward of the ground moving beneath you caught you off guard.
>You did not lean forward enough.
>You now find yourself in a crumpled mess, lying on the ground.
>You aren't hurt, just your pride.
>The sound of the magic carpet silences as the emergency stop button is hit, and the pony working the booth comes out.
>Double shit.
>Cloudy Haze.
>"You alright there, Pine Fresh?"
>He chuckles.
>You use your magic to help lift yourself back into the upright position.
Uhh... Yeah... No problems... Just caught me off guard, that's all...
>>
>>25612408

>Cloudy haze laughs again.
>"Alright, everyopony, lean forward, we are about to start up the lift again.
>This time, you ensure you are leaning pretty far forward.
>With a jump, the lift restarts, and you are now moving up the hill.
>Alright, cool, you got this.
>As you approach the top of the hill, you have a better idea of what to do.
>You've spent quite a bit of time walking ponies do this.
>You stand, you keep your skis parallel, and as you get to the top, you just let yourself slide back onto the snow from the rubber surface of the lift.
>And, you manage to not fall flat on your ass at the top.
>Moving forward, you move a few yard past the top of the lift, and wait for Lavender.
>A few moments later, Lavender reaches the top of the lift, and slides over beside you.
>"Having fun, Piney?"
>You respond with a sigh.
Yeah... I got a hang of getting on and off the lift now hopefully... Now I just need to get used to sliding down the hill on these... things.
>"Remember, slalom down the hill... turn back and forth to control your speed. And put your skis like this if you really want to slow down."
>Lavender moves her front legs together, and her back legs slightly apart, creating a wedge with her skis.
I think I got it... Lets give this a try.
>You awkwardly turn around, and point yourself downhill.
>You begin sliding down the slope, and when you reach the far side of the open space, you adjust your legs to turn to go the other way across the slope.
>Lavender is following you from behind.
>"Thats it, just keep doing that till you get to the bottom!"
>You slide back, and turn as you get close to the lift again.
>Man, no wonder the ponies are so happy, this sliding around is a lot of fun.
>And this is actually way more exercise than it looks... Keeping you nice and warm.
>>
>>25612937

>You go back and forth a few more times, and end up back down at the bottom of the lift.
>Lavender is following behind you closely, and slides into place behind you in line for the magic carpet.
>"That was pretty good, Piney... you are a natural at this."
Well, being athletic is kind of important for... my line of work, Lavender.
>"I suppose so... So, I guess you are down for another run?"
>You look at the line in front of you.
Yeah, I think so. Line's moving pretty quick. A few more times, and maybe I can go somewhere else in the resort on one of the big lifts!
>Lavender lets out a little chuckle.
>"If you keep it up, that might work out."
>Your turn comes up, and you mount the lift once more.
>This time, you manage to do it without making a jackass of yourself.
>And, upon reaching the top, you dismount, and Lavender is right behind you.
>You begin your trip down the slope, moving back and forth, faster than last time.
>You get an amazing rush, even on a little slope like this.
>The rest of the mountain beckons...
>When you reach the bottom with Lavender in tow, you slide to a stop, and turn to speak to her.
I want to go up a bigger slope than this! This is so much fun!
>"Yeah, I think you can handle it. Lets head on over to the big quadlift."
>A hundred yards away, you can see the hulking equipment at the base of the quadlift.
Let's do it!
>"Ok, so how the quad lift is gonna work, is when our turn comes, we will go to a line on the ground to wait, and when the seat comes by and grabs the ponies in front of us, then we move up to where they stood."
>You nod in understanding.
>"Then, the seat will come around behind us, and just pick us up. Simple as that. Getting off, you put your skis on the platform, then let the seat push you until you go down the ramp at the far end of the platform, and the seat will swing above us."
Sounds easy enough.
>>
>>25613399

>Suprisingly, the big lift really was as easy to board as Lavender had said.
>Move to the lines when your times come, and you get whisked up into the air, up the mountain.
>The very cold, windy air.
Lavender, you didn't tell me these chair lifts are so *shiver* cold!
>She shrugs.
>"Never bothered me much... Yeah, it's probably about as cold as you get on your average day skiing, just waiting to get to the top."
>You look up the mountain, and you can the top of the lift approaching.
So uhhh... Just kinda let it push you off?
>"Yup, the platform will come up, you start sliding on it, then ski off to the side once the ramp comes. Easy as pie."
>Sounds simple enough... Getting on was easy enough, so getting of should be easy, right?
>The upper platform arrives, and just as Lavender said, You just kinda put the skis on the ground, and ski forward, out of the way.
>Really was easy as pie...
So, which path do we want to take down the mountain?
>"Well, since this is your first time up here, we should probably take the green... Happy Valley."
>She motions to a big sign, with a green circle, and the name Happy Valley posted upon it.
>The slope beyond looks... pretty easy. Some of the other ones have cooler names, and other colors and shapes.
>But, Lavender knows best.
Alright, Happy Valley, here we come.
>You both scoot along on the flat at the top of the mountain to where the slope starts.
>It looks like this slope kinda loops around the back of the mountain to get a shallower slope.
>Looks like fun.
Let's do this!
>You push yourself forward, and begin the joyous process of smoothly sliding down the mountain.
>Getting your muscles going again warms you up, and the feel of the breeze is amazing.
>You might have to reconsider the hat...

>Part way down the slope, where it becomes less steep, you come to a stop.
>You take off your hat and stow it into your parka's pocket, and let the mane of your disguise flow freely in the breeze.
>Lavender slides to a sudden stop near you, and sends some snow flying.
>"Loosing the hat? I don't blame you. It can get hot with that kinda stuff when you really get going."
Yeah... Gotta keep the goggles, but the feeling of my mane blowing is... almost intoxicating.
>The general feel of the various ponies around you is so positive.
>This entire place is just perfect.
>You slide back down to the bottom of the mountain, Lavender in tow.
>Upon coming to a stop, you let out a triumphant cheer.
So much fun!
>Lavender comes to a stop next to you.
>"Want to take it up a notch? I know where there is a little hidden mogul trail... Those make everything more fun."
What exactly is it?
>"Oh, just a narrow path thats not too steep, but has lots of big bumps to ride over."
Sounds different... but fun! Where do we go?
>"Whelp, we start with taking the quad lift back up the mountain."
>>
>>25615392

>After reaching the top of the mountain, Lavender leads you to a small opening in the trees, and you can see a few other ponies must have been skiing down it already.
>"Ok, so, this is the mogul trail. YOu go down it, stay along the path, and you'll do fine... Have some fun, and maybe get a little air if you go fast enough"
>You nod.
Looks fun.
>Overhead, you see Gusty Leaves flying around, with a small cloud, leaving a dusting of snow in her wake.
>You give her a wave, and she waves back, and Lavender joins in the wave when she sees who you are waving to.
Alright... Let's go.
>You push yourself forward, onto the small trail.
>Quickly jumping up and down, following the bumps of the trail is quite fun, as Lavender advised.
>You let yourself speed up.
>This trail reminds you of flying through a forest, only this is something nonflying creatures can experience.
>You can hear Lavender shouting something at you from behind.
>You turn your head to reply that you couldn't hear her.
What was that you sai-
>Crunch.

Ch. 9

>You are Lavender August.
>You have just witnessed your special somepony violently crash into a tree by missing a slight turn in the trail.
>He is crumpled on the ground, and some snow has been knocked on top of him from the tree he hit.
>Sliding off the trail, you come to a stop and check up on Pine Fresh.
>With a flash of green, and a scream, Pine Fresh reverts from a pony, to a changeling.
>Your heart skips a beat.
>Ik'thik's winter wear cover most of his body, so at the moment only his head is exposed, excepting what his goggles cover.
>You take off your scarf, wrap it around his face, and pull his hat out of his pocket, and pull it over the top of his head.
>He's reasonably covered now, but still unconcious.
>A few yards through the trees, you can see a regular run.
>You remove your skis, and gallop through the snow over to the big open slope.
>You look for the ski patrol at first, then you look up.
>Gusty Leaves!
>You wave your legs in the air to her.
>She notices you, and comes flying down.
>"Is everything alright, Lavender?"
Piney... He had an accident on the mogul trail!
>"where!?"
>You point into the trees.
Follow me, then you can maybe go bring some help!
>You run back into the trees, and see Ik'thik still sitting there.
>>
>>25617482

>Still unconcious.
>"Oh my... I'll be back with the ski patrol, Lavender, you keep an eye on him!"
>You nod to Gusty Leaves as she flies up through the trees to get some help.
Wake up... Please, Ik'thik... Wake up...
>You kneel down into the snow next to Ik'thik, and start carefully removing snow from on top of him.
>As you are doing so, you can see he is still breathing.
>Thank Celestia for that.
>And as it stands, you can't tell he's a changeling... Just a pony shaped body in heavy winter clothing.
>How are you going to explain this to the ski patrol... to the doctor when you get him to the hospital...
>A few minutes after Gusty Leaves left, she returns, landing next to you, with a few other pegasi flying above, with lift harnesses.
He's out of the snow, and breathing!
>"Alright, Lavender, we are gonna need to put this harness on Piney, and then we can fly him straight to the clinic in town, they should be able to start helping him."
>You need to get there with him...
Gusty... do you think you could carry me to the clinic as well? I don't want to leave him alone!
>You both work to strap the harness onto Ik'thik, and connect it to the ropes being held up by the other pegasi.
>"I... Think so, Lavender."
>Gusty looks up, and shouts to the other pegasi.
>They begin to pull up some of the ropes now supporing Ik'thik, lifting him above the trees, before flying off towards town.
>"Alright, lets do this quickly, Lavender."
>She lifts of the ground slightly, and picks you up, then, slower than the other pegasi carrying Ik'thik, flies you into town.
>>
>>25618003

>You arrive roughly a minute after Ik'thik, and Gusty drops you off.
>"Keep me informed, I gotta go back and inform the folks at the resort, Lavender."
>She zips off, significantly faster now, back towards the resort.
>You can see the doctor coming out, as the other pegasi detach themselves from the harness on him.
>They dropped him off on a gurney, and after they remove the harness, they help the doctor and his nurse push him into the clinic.
Wait for me!
>The doctor turns to you.
>"Lavender? Is this..."
Yes, doctor, it's Pine Fresh. He... ran into a tree.
>"Lets get him inside, and we can check everything out, Lavender."
>You follow them as they push Ik'thik back into the clinic, into an observation and minor procedure room.
>The doctor prepares to remove some of Ik'thik's clothing.
Wait, doctor...
>He pauses for a moment, the other ponies in the room looking at you oddly.
>You move up to whisper in his ear.
C-c-can you please send the other ponies away for a moment, I need to talk to you about Pine Fresh.
>The doctor looks at you strangely.
Privately.
>"Lavender, everything we see is held in doctor-patient confidentiality, and the nurses here are bound by that as well."
Please... more private, for just a short moment... Please...
>A tear slides down your cheeck.
>The fewer ponies who see Ik'thik, the better...
>>
>>25618664

>The doctor sighs.
>"Can you please give us a few minutes alone, nurse..."
>The nurse looks at you oddly, and leaves the room, following the pegasi paramedics back towards the front of the clinic.
>"Now, Lavender August. I hope you have a good reason for sending my nurse away."
Pine Fresh... He is different.
>You remove his hat and your scarf, revealing the knocked out changeling beneath.
>The doctor gasps, then mutters under his breath.
>"Pine Fresh... A changeling?"
>You bow your head down.
Yes... He is a changeling, and he looks really hurt... He hit his entire body really hard against the tree... Please, help him!
>The doctor sighs.
>"I will do what I can... But I've never worked with a changeling before..."
>He moves towards the door, cracks it open, and calls for the nurse.
>When the nurse arrives, he mumbles to her.
>You hear a bit of talking about supplies he needs, but you can't really make all of it out.
>"Yes, Doctor, I understand. I'll be back as quick as I can with the supplies you need."
>The doctor closes the door, and begins to remove more of the heavy winter clothing covering Ik'thik.
>He moves his hoof across Ik'thik's exposed chitin.
>"Hmmm... I don't see any obvious wounds on the outside... No cracks in his... exoskeleton."
>The doctor puts his stethoscope up to Ik'thik's chest.
>"Breathing is... there? I'm not sure how it should be, and there is some kind of heartbeat."
His breathing is... more shallow than it should be.
>The doctor sighs in frustration.
>"I... I don't know anything about changeling physiology... Best I can do is observe, and keep an eye on his vitals."
>You sit down on a chair in the room, lowering your face into your hooves.

>A few minutes later, as the doctor attempted to think of something to do, you hear a knocking at the door.
>Without even looking up, the doctor speaks.
>"Enter."
>You look to the door as it opens.
>Two uniformed ponies enter the room, closing the door behind them.
>The sheriff, and a deputy.
>Your heart immediately sinks.
>The doctor turns to you.
>"I'm sorry Lavender, but... I had to."
>You scream at the doctor.
WHAT WAS ALL THAT ABOUT DOCTOR PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY?
>The doctor winces at those words.
>He then sighs.
>"It... doesn't cover non-ponies."
>He returns to looking over Ik'thik, monitoring his breathing and heart rate
>The sheriff steps up to you.
>"Lavender August, we need to have a little chat about your friend here."

Still,

Nice.

It didn't have the weird buzz it did back in Canterlot Wedding for some reason.

Gonna run by the gym, then resume posting.

What will become of Ik'thik and Lavender?
>>
>>25619534

>Your god damn head...
>You are Ik'thik, changeling drone of the Swarm.
>Your head hurts like you've never felt it hurt before.
>You open your eyes.
>Before you is a sterile white room with no windows.
>There are assorted medical supplies on some of the cabinets along the wall.
>Where the hell are you...
>The last thing you can remember was skiing along the mogul trail, turning to say somthing to Lavender, then...
>You shake your head lightly.
>That as a poor choice... It makes your head hurt even more.
>You look down at yourself.
>Your heart pauses for a few moments.
>Your front hooves are laid out before you, in shackles.
>Not Pine Fresh's hooves... Ik'thik's hooves.
>Oh.
>Shit.
>You are injured, and apperantly in the custody of ponies.
>Stay calm... What did they teach you about this in scout training...
>Suddenly, the door to the room clicks, and unseals.
>>
>>25622860

>A pony, wearing a lab coat walks through, levitating a clipboard.
>"So, awake are we, now?"
>You eye the pony cautiously.
>"What, nothing to say, Ik'thik?"
>Fuck.
>He knows your name...
>How could he...
Where... Am I? Where's Lavender?
>A sly smile comes across the lab coat pony's face.
>"Right now? Far from where you had your little accident. Lavender is... around."
>The pony sets the clipboard down on one of the benches along the wall.
>"If you cooperate with us, changeling, your life will be more pleasant, and maybe, just maybe, we'll let you see this Lavender August."
Define 'us'.
>The pony cackles.
>He definitely feels happy, but it makes you feel uncomforable.
>"I suppose its fair to inform you... I work for the CIA... THe Canterlot Intelligence Agency."
>Your eyes widen.
>That's not good.
>"And, you find yourself in our headquarters... Under Canterlot Castle."
>That's even less good.
>"So, changeling, cooperate and your life will be easier. Do not cooperate, and we will make you wish you were dead."
>You nod.
>>
>>25623335

>"First question, changeling. What were you doing in Cloudcrop?"
Ik'thik, Forward Operating Scout of the Changeling Swarm.
>You were trained well for an occasion such as this... Don't answer the ponies.
>Repeat your designation.
>"That is not an answer, changeling. What were you doing in Cloudcrop.
Ik'thik, Forward Operating Scout of the Changeling Swarm.
>"Going to play this game, are we?"
>The pony pulls a small device from his pocket.
>"One more time, changeling."
>YOu can feel the vitriol in his words as he says changeling.
>"What. Were you. Doing. In Cloudcrop."
Ik'thik, Forward Operating Scout of the Ch-
>You are interrupted by a shock that sends your entire body into spasms
>Your screaming echoes around the room, and through the open door into the hallway.
>The shocks stop after a few moments, and you are left short of breath, lying on the hospital bed.
>"Feeling more cooperative now, changeling?"
>You stare at the ceiling.
>What were you doing in Cloudcrop."
>You respond.
>"I was skiing on a day off from my job."
>The pony chuckles.
>"Smartass..."
>A much smaller shock shoots through your body.
>"What was your assignment from the swarm in Cloudcrop."
Doesn't my title in the swarm tell you what I was doing?
>"I know EXACTLY what you were doing, changeling. However, I want to hear it from your mouth."
>>

You'd think they'd know that physical torture is a good way to get bullshit information.

>>25624687

Or maybe he's just a sadistic asshole

>>25623967

Why?
>"Because I want to be sure you will tell me the truth when I ask you questions, changeling."
>Shit.
>Lavender must have talked...
>She hasn't been trained to deal with this.
So, you know I was sent by my Queen to scout the town for possible changeling inhabitation.
>The lab coat pony smiles.
>"Feeling more cooperative, eh?"
>You close your eyes.
>You still feel like utter garbage.
>"Where is the Las Pegasus changeling Enclave?"
>He really must want to know this... Lavender didn't actually know where its at.
>However, you will be giving him the silent treatment.
>"Nothing, changeling?"
>You maintain your silence.
>A shock of energy shoots through your body.
>Screams once more echo around the room.
>YOu breathe heavily, but maintain your silence.
>"The Las Pegasus enclave. Where is it."
>Your eyes closed, and your silence is uninterrupted this time.
>"We WILL get answers from you, changeling. However, you still look half dead. This will continue later."
>You hear the sound of the door closing, and locking.
>Then, you hear an odd hissing.
>Then you suddenly feel even more tired...
>>
>>25624807

>You awake once more.
>This room is different. You are lying on a simple cot. There is a small sink next to a toilet.
>A prison cell.
>And not the regular pony kind... the CIA kind.
>You've heard some rumors of how effective they can be at holding changelings...
>You attempt to shapeshift, but are unable to.
>The green magic around begins to take shape, but fizzles out.
>Crap.
>There must be some intense magical wards here...
>You suddenly realise how hungry you are.
>It must be days since you were last able to feed.
>You lay on the cot and grumble at your situation.
>It does not take long for you to hear a stirring at the door.
>A square section at head level slides open, and you can see a pony face looking through.
>You can hear a gruff voice come through the door.
>"Don'cha be trying to use yer magic in there, changeling. Anytime ya try something, we will know. And if ya keep it up, there will be consequences."
>A small hole in the bottom of the door opens, and a plate of food is slid through.
>"Ya haven't eaten fer a while, changeling. Eat up. You will need the energy for your... interview."
>The pony laughs manaiacally as he slips both holes in the door closed, greatly muting his laughter.
>Interview... Probably that asshole with the lab coat again trying to get more information out of you.
>You look down at your hooves... still shackled.
>Getting up, you move across the room, and pick up a few morsels of food off the plate.
>Its not feeding off emotions, but it will help stay the pain and misery that comes from lacking in that.
>>
>>25623335
>I work for the CIA.
was getting caught part of your brilliant plan?
>>
>>25625407

>This cell is incredibly boring.
>You occasionally hear hoofsteps outside the door walking up and down what must be some hallway.
>Saving energy, you continue to lay on the cot for an indeterminite amount of time.
>Eventually, you hear the hoofsteps stop at your door.
>The face level window slides open.
>"Up and at em' changeling. Its time for your interview."
>You look to the door, then lazily roll off the cot.
>You get a slight taste of sickly joy coming from the pony beyond the door
>Walking up to the door, it opens inward, and you can see the pony who gave you the food before, flanked by two Equestrian royal guards.
>"Follow them."
>The gruff pony motions to the royal guards.
>"No funny business"
>You shrug, and follow the ponies equiped with ornate armor and armed with spears.
>Two more, who were off to the side file in behind you.
>They lead you down the hall, to a door labeled 'interview room'.
>Nice euphemism from the ponies...
>The ponies open the door, and sitting at a table, facing the door is an entirely unexpected face.
>Not one you had seen before, but you recognized the pony sitting before you.
>Celestia.

And, time for a break. Got a bunch of stuff coming up tonight. Might post more late this evening, though.

>A calm, commanding voice speaks.
>"Ik'thik, Forward Operating Scout of the Changeling Swarm. Please, come take a seat."
>The aura she gives off is unlike any you have felt.
>Warm, somewhat pleasant, and even slightly nourishing, despite making you incredibly nervous.
>This pony... Princess of the land, is going to 'interview' you personally.
>You step into the room, and take the single seat sitting across the table from the regent of the sun.
>The guard ponies shut the door behind you, leaving you alone with Celestia.
>"So, my little changeling. You have an... interesting situation. Magic I haven't seen for centuries..."
>Lavender's mark...
>"I want to know more about you. What makes you tick. What kind of risk you pose to my subjects."
Ma'am, I assure you I wish no harm to your subjects... I, and the rest of my people are simply trying to make our way in the world the only way we know how.
>A sly smile grows on Celestia's face.
>"So, is that why your Queen tried to take control of Canterlot and lock all of my subjects up in cocoons?"
>You pause to think for a moment.
Everything in the Canterlot Affair resulted from the entire operation being horribly botched... It wasn't meant to happen like that...
>"How exactly WAS it supposed to go?"
I am not entirely privy to that information... I wasn't involved, I was working elsewhere in Equestria at the time. I DO know that there was not supposed to be changelings breaking cover, ever.
>Celestia nods.
>"If you dont mind me asking, where were you working during the 'Canterlot Affair', as you refer to it?"
I was undercover in Appleoosa, doing much the same thing there as I was doing in Cloudcrop.
>>
>>25629848

>"What exactly were you doing in Cloudcrop, if you don't mind me asking."
As I am sure you are already aware, I was scouting the town as a possible place to have some of my fellow changelings live.
>"And what conclusion did you come to?"
>You sigh.
It was a wonderful place. All the ponies were friendly, helpful, and many changelings could easily live there off the ambient emotions.
>Celestia looks at you strangely.
>"Feeding on ambient emotions?"
You ponies really are naieve about changelings, aren't you? All your books are missing a lot of important facts. Yes, changelings can, and almost the entire swarm is, living on ambient pony emotions.
>"How exactly does that work?"
Well, any place where ponies gather, and they feel emotions, some of those emotions end up just kind of floating around in the air.
And a changeling simply sitting nearby can consume them, subtly. The ponies wouldn't even notice the process happening.
>"And you have still fed directly from my subjects?"
>You shrug.
I have. Even direct feeding won't hurt anypony unless you go overboard. Its like your ponies shearing sheep for wool.
Its a much more filling and pleasing meal to feed directly, but the ambient emotions can keep a changeling alive.
In fact, Princess, you have an aura about you that nourishes me, though you may not realise it.
>You pause for a moment.
Speaking of your subjects... Where is Lavender? Is she alright?
>"Lavender August is being held in a less... maximum security portion of the Canterlot dungeons. Though, speaking of her, care to tell me anything about that strange mark on her flank?"

What, you mean her flower cutie mark?
>Celestia focuses her eyes on you.
>"You know the mark I mean. The glyph, below her cutie mark."
>Shit, she knows about that.
>You sigh, and explain.
It is the mark of The Swarm. Generally, only changelings can see it, but I assume you have used some ritual to see it for yourself.
>Celestia nods.
It marks her to other changelings as a pony who can be trusted. As a member of the family.
>"And you gave her this mark?"
No.
>Celestia looks suprised at that answer.
>Shit... Lavender must have lied about something while she was being grilled.
>"That's not what I was informed about it, Ik'thik. Care to tell me about it."
I shouldn't say...
>"Is it a spell only Chrysalis knows?"
>You look up to Celestia, a look of shock on your face.
>A sigh leaves your body.
As far as I know, that is correct. Only the Queen may perform such an act. Honestly, when I informed my Queen of being involved with a pony, I was sure I would be banished... Or worse...
>You can feel tears growing at the corners of your eyes.
We had such a good thing going, and now it's all over.
>Losing control, you lean forward and begin bawling uncontrollably.
>>
>>25630835

>You can feel pity in the aura flowing forth from the Princess sitting before you.
>Between sobs you continue talking.
We were happy... Not hurting anyone... All gone... Can't go back...
>Celestia continues to watch you for several minutes until your sobs subside.
>"You have been more cooperative than I expected today, Ik'thik. If you continue, I can ensure your comfort during your... stay here."
>"I may also be able to arrange a meeting with Lavender."
>You look up, a feeling of hope welling up within you, and you steel yourself.
I can tell you many things... But there are many more I cannot. I will not betray the trust, and safety, of my family any more than I already have. Surely, you understand.
>Celestia frowns.
>"I am sure we can come to some... compromise over what you can tell us."
I will not share information that will endanger my people. I would rather die than cause other changelings to come into pony custody.
My personal abilities, what I learned in Cloudcrop, I can share.
>You just relise as you are speaking, you've already told her more than you ought to have.
>There is something about her that put you at ease enough to talk.
>Shit. That's kind of scary...
You have a way with beings, don't you Celestia? You've already gotten me to talk more than I would have otherwise.
>>
>>25631148

>Celestia raises an eyebrow and smiles.
>"So I've been told. Not many manage to catch on as fast as you, Ik'thik."
Still. I know you want to know things like, 'where is Chrysalis?' or 'where is the Canterlot Changeling Enclave?', but those are questions I cannot answer.
>Very truthful...
>You aren't even sure if there is an enclave in Canterlot, and Chrysalis keeps her movements undercover.
>Specifically for events such as this.
>"There are changelings in Canterlot?"
Honestly, Celestia, I don't know. Honestly, we keep some information segregated within the swarm, just incase *this* happens.
>You wave your legs, motioning around the room.
>Celestia shrugs.
>"Do they know you have been taken into... custody yet?"
>You think for a moment.
How long was I out?
>"It has been four days since you crashed into the tree while skiing."
>You count the days, and think to when your expected check in letter would have been arriving.
At this point... Probably not. It's only today they might my contact know something is wrong. And it might take them longer before they find anything out.
You know, unless my being captured and brought here to Canterlot has been widely published. Then they probably are quite aware.
>>
>>25628342
>tfw you're the one who requested that pic on the drawthread
Feels good. Maybe I should request more Chrysalis there.
I've got, like, 20 or 30 pics from there
>>
>>25631269

>"Interesting. Sparse indirect communication with the swarm?"
Well, yes. I work in a very vulerable position within the swarm. My contact will likely bug out from their location, and inform the rest of the swarm within a day or so.
>Celestia chuckles.
>"Bug out..."
Anymore questions, Princess?
>"Do you really love her?"
...What?
>"Do you really love Lavender August."
Yes. She is special... We have a connection I cannot explain. She still chose to stay with me, even after knowing my true nature. And I do truely love her.
>Celestia looks at you curiously.
>"We will have to speak again soon, Ik'thik. You are intriguing..."
As you wish, Princess... Not that I have much choice, locked up in your dungeon.
>Celestia stands up and moves up the door.
>A glow envelops her horn, and the door opens.
>"I am done speaking with the changeling. Return him to his cell."
>One of the guards looks in the room.
>"Come on, prisoner. Time to return to your cell."
>You move into the hallway, flanked on all sides by ponies in royal guard armor.
>They guide you back to the cell you were held in earlier.
>"Get in, prisoner."
>You step back inside, and the door is sealed behind you.

Oops. last post was end chapter 9.

Ch. 10

>Your sense of the passage of time in this dungeon is... less than ideal.
>At best, you have some guess based on the 3 meals they slide under the door, each spread evenly apart, with a much longer break after the third one.
>If your math is right... You've been locked in here for 7 days... Making it about 11 days since your accident.
>You feel as though your injuries from running head fucking first into a god damn tree are pretty much healed.
>Though, considering where it's put you, you doubt your pride will ever be healed.
>You feel weak, however... You have barely gotten any emotions since your little chat with Celestia.
>You are also bored out of your mind.
>Not a fucking good combination.
>However, shortly after what you assumed is your 'breakfast', the head level window is slid open.
>"Alright, changeling, time for another visit to the interview room. You have a royal visitor again."
>So, Celestia wans to harass you for information again...
>Fine by you, her aura was nourishing, and you are the most hungry you have ever been in your life.
>With a pop, the door opens, and you are greeted, much like before, by two ponies in royal guard equipment.
>"Come now, prisoner. To the interview room."
>You roll your eyes.
Yeah, yeah, no funny business, just lead the way.
>You step forward, into the hall, and are once more flanked by 4 royal guards.
>Calmly, you follow the guards down the hallway to the door labeled 'Interview Room'.
>One of the guards in front of you opens the door.
>Sitting across the table this time is not Celestia.

Also forgot my name. Derp.

>Another alicorn.
>Light purple coat, violet hair with a pink and dark blue streak...
>This must be that new princess.
>Twilight Sparkle.
>She does not have the same nourishing aura as Celestia.
>Fuck.
>She picks up a scroll and quill with her magic, then speaks to you.
>"Please, have a seat... Ik'thik, was it?"
Yes, Princess Twilight, I assume?
>"Correct."
>You get a few weak emotions floating around... Better than being sealed away in your cell, but not by much.
>"So, Princess Celestia told me you would be willing to discuss the capabilities you have as a changeling."
Well, I was expecting to speak with her again...
>"Well, Ik'thik, Celestia is a very busy pony, and I have some personal interest in Changelings, and their abillities."
If you say so.
>Twilight scribbles some notes down on her parchment.
So, Princess, what do you wish to know?
>"What kinds of forms can you take?"
Just about any pony you can think of, to be honest. I... don't know if I can show such things off here, right now.
>"I can control the wards in this room, Ik'thik, if that's what is stopping you."
That might be some of it. I'm also starving, princess.
>Twilight raises an eyebrow.
>"Surely, they are feeding you down here?"
Pony food, yes... Surely, you know changelings feed off emotions, Princess. Being locked in solitary confinement precludes such things.
>>
>>25640344

>The princess' face softens momentarily, then becomes serious once more.
>"I am somewhat familiar with the concept... Your Queen tried to suck my brother completely dry of life once."
>You groan, and drop your face down into your hooves.
Can we not talk about the Canterlot Affair... I've already told Celestia what I know of it. I wasn't even involved...
>"If you insist... How about non-transformation magic?"
Levitation is easy enough for most changelings, much as it is for unicorns... I personally know a few cantrips beyond levitation, like starting fires.
Other changelings... Depends on how much they study magic. Learning while disguised is not terribly uncommon.
>She continues to scribble things on her parchment.
>"And flight? Is that something all changelings can do?"
Excepting horrific injuries, yes. Either when taking the form of a pegasus or in our base form.
>"What about taking the form of an alicorn?"
>Huh...
Never tried to be honest. Terrible to try to use as an identity... As you may be familiar with, alicorns stick out in pony society.
>Twilight shrugs, and continues scribbling.
>"So, you talked to Celestia about how changelings can live off emotions just floating around in the air? Care to explain further?"
Can't say much more. Its like breathing. The emotions are there, and you just kinda... take them in.
>"And this dungeon is devoid of 'free emotions'?
There's very little, and what there is is the sour, foul taste of things like disgust and hate.
>Twilight's face softens once more, without the rebound to serious this time.
>>
>>25640817

I'll likely be dead soon... Death by starvation.
>You can observe a single tear fall down Twilight's face.
>Her sorrow fills the room...
>Barely nourishing, but slightly more paletteable than what little emotions the guards have.
>"I will see what I can do to assist your conditions here... You may be an enemy agent, but I cannot allow such treatment... I am sorry, Ik'thik."
>Compassion... This is a pleasing thing to feel...
I appreciate the sentiment, Twilight. Did you have anything else you wished to ask me, Princess?
>You spend a reasonable amount of time discussing changeling physiology with Twilight Sparkle.
>She is an academecian, interested in knowledge for knowledge's sake.
>The emotion you pick up from her is enough to refresh yourself a little bit.
>She asks you one final question.
>"Before I take my leave, is there anything I can do for you, Ik'thik?"
Lavender.
>"Excuse me?"
I want to see Lavender...
>"Your pony friend from Cloudcrop?"
Yes... I miss her dearly
>"I will see what I can do... You seem... Perkier, since we started our meeting, Ik'thik."
Yes, Princess. You have put some pleasant emotions into the room... They have nourished me, atleast a little bit.
>"Interesting..."
>Twilight scribbles a few final notes, before rolling up her parchment, and sticking both it and the quill in a bag she pulls up from the floor.
>"You are entertaining to speak with Ik'thik... We will have to speak again soon."
Yeah, Celestia said that a week ago, and then left me locked up. Alone. Not another being to interact with. Just the guards who are disgusted by my very existence.
>>
>>25641315

>"I'll ensure you get a few... friendly visitors more often Ik'thik. We cannot be so cruel to somepony in our custody. And maybe, when you are feeling better, you can give me a practical demonstration of your capabilities."
We'll see when that time comes, Princess.
>Twilight steps up, and leaves the room.
>"Guards, please return Ik'thik to his... chambers."
>Twilight proceeds down a different hall than you've ever been down, and the guards move to flank you as you exit the interview room.
Alright, time to go back to my luxurious room.
>You steep between the guards, and they lead you back to your cell.
>Silently, you enter your cell, and the door is sealed behind you.
Home sweet home...
>You begin your now traditional activity in your cell.
>Staring at the ceiling while laying on your cot.
>Not a terribly long time later, and sooner than expected, the small door through which they shove pony food into the room opens up, and something is shoved through.
>A book.
>Sweet, something to do thats not staring at the ceiling.
>You move to pick it up, and look at the title.
>'Thornhoof's Brief History of Canterlot'
>Doesn't sound like the most entertaining thing ever, but by the Queen, you are desperate for any kind of entertainment.
>You suppose Twilight, being the academic she is, decided to give you something to use your brain on.
>Picking up the book, you return to your cot, and begin reading.
>Eventually, your 'lunch' is slipped into the room.
>And you still have plenty of book to read.

Last bump for tonight.

>By your reckoning, 2 days have passed since Twilight came to speak with you.
>You have read the Brief History of Canterlot 3 times from cover to cover.
>It might be time to resume the tried and true pasttime of staring at the ceiling again.
>Might help keep your mind off how tired and hungry you are.
>As you begin your ceiling staring, you hear more than normal hoof steps moving down the hallway outside your cell.
>Shortly after you hear them, they stop infront of your cell door.
>And the door opens up.
>As per usual, there are royal guard ponies standing outside the door.
>And as far as you can tell, its the same four that escorted you last time.
>One of them, a unicorn, picks up the book in his magic aura, and carries it to his body.
>"You know the drill, prisoner. To the interview chamber."
Oh wow, almost talking like we are friends, eh?
>Your (honestly terrible) joke makes the pony standing to your left rear give off a little emotion, telling you he wishes he could chuckle just a little bit.
>But, these are highly trained ponies, and they show no outward expression of emotion.
>As has become fairly routine, they lead you down the hall to the door labeled 'interview room'.
>One of the ones in the front, pushes the door open, and you see the familiar face of Twilight Sparkle.
>"Come in, Ik'thik."
>You enter, and take a seat.
>The book floats through the door behind you, and is then set down on the table.
>The guards then proceed to shut the door behind you.
>Twilight has a more pleasant aura today... She seems somewhat glad to speak with you.
>Still not as impressive as Celestia's aura, but still, it makes your life more pleasant.
>"Enjoy the book?"
It was significantly more pleasurable to read than staring at the ceiling, Princess. Though, three times through was a bit much, to be honest.
>>
>>25649396

>"Good to hear... That was a bit short notice for that book, so I understand it wasn't the best choice buuuuut..."
>Twilight's horn glows, and two large bulging sacks appear from behind the other side of the table.
>"I bought you a wider selection of books so you can select a few to have a little more variety in your reading."
>You smile and nod.
It is appreciated. The dungeon is rather boring.
>"So, I've spoken with Celestia about your request."
>Your eyes widen in excitement.
What is her decision?
>"She hasn't given a decision yet, Ik'thik."
>You deflate... You won't be seeing Lavender today.
That's... A shame.
>You feel a sudden surge of sadness from Twilight.
>"Sorry... I'll keep pushing for it..."
>Twilight pauses for a moment.
>"So... Mind talking about Cloudcrop?"
If you so desire, Princess... What specifically do you want to know?
>"What did you think about it?"
>You shrug.
It was a nice place... Friendly ponies, reasonable work, nice weather in the summer...
Winter was a bit colder than I'm used to, but I was slowly getting aclimatized.
>"I see... Would you go back, given the chance?"
I couldn't go back now, even if I wanted to. It's a small town, at this point, EVERYPONY in town will know they had a changeling in their midst.
And they'll know that Lavender knew. We can never go back.
>"Well, couldn't you go back without Lavender? Take on a new form?"
>You give Twilight an incredulous look.
>"...Never mind."
>>
>>25650152
I have to admit, I'm more impatient for updates now than even when the queen was coming to visit
>>
>>25650152

Going back without Lavender would be painful... And knowing all the ponies, without them knowing me... Just, no.
Honestly, if I were to be released, I would likely be relegated to hive duty.
>"Why is that, Ik'thik?"
Because I got caught. I apperantly am no good at staying undercover.
>Twilight frowns.
>"No need to be so negative."
Says the Princess who isn't locked in solitary confinement in some dark dungeon.
>You lean your face down into your hooves.
I know you want to help, Twilight. Boredom and starvation are not the nicest thing to sanity and having any amount of temper.
>"Sorry... Sorry... You do have reason to be upset."
>The discussion continues being civil, after that little exchange.
>You come across the topic of tea, and Twilight promises to bring some for her next visit.
>Twilight seems to get some joy from speaking with you.
>The conversation comes slowly to an end.
>"So, which of these books do you want to borrow, Ik'thik? I will hopefully be back in another few days, ideally with a decision from Celestia."
>You dig through the large pile of books...
>A few introductory spell books, some biographies, some novels...
>You grab an introductory spell book, and what Twilight identified as the first 3 entries in the 'Daring Do' book series.
>Twilight nods, grabs the remaining books and returns them to their sacks, and moves towards the door.
>"It was a pleasure discussing things with you again, Ik'thik."
>She opens the door, and steps through it.
>"Guards, ensure the books on the table make it to Ik'thik's cell."
>She walks away, carrying her bags of books.
>"Come, prisoner. You know how this works."
>Thats the one who wanted to laugh earlier.
Yeah, yeah, I understand.
>You follow the guard's lead back to your chamber, and they seal you in again.
>Several minutes later, the books you selected are slowly pushed in through the food slot of the door.

Gonna be delayed now. Maybe more later tonight.

> The once glowing light of the mother crystal faded into a dull opaque green.
> They had consumed all the energy it had absorbed the night before.
> "Well, other than the savage beating, I'd say that was one heck of a meal!" Thespid declared.
> "Hopefully no pony else in this town is into that kind of thing." Melyrid told the others, "That was quite disturbing.".
> "I hope she's alright." Agraul said.
> "Oh don't worry" Melyrid told him, "They've clearly done that sort of thing before.".
> "Yeah, I'm sure she's fine." Thespid added.
> Melyrid headed back up the stairs telling the others "Well. Now that we're all done with breakfast, it's about time we got this day started!".

> Melyrid led everyone into the kitchen, where she had a list of groceries prepared that they needed.
> "You two go to the market and get everything you can on this list. I have some costume ideas I want to go over with Rarity."
> "Rarity?" Thespid asked, as she and Agraul looked at Melyrid in confusion.
> At first Melyrid was surprised by their baffled stares, then she realized "Oh! That's right, I never told you. I convinced Rarity to make outfits for our intimate apparel section. So she'll be supplying us with new outfits to sell.".
> Thespid and Agraul just stared back at each other, too amazed by the idea to believe it.
> Melyrid walked out to the shop, not even noticing the looks on their faces.

> Thespid snapped herself out of her daze, and followed Melyrid as she told her "This better not take too long. I wanna see if Rainbow Dash wants to have lunch today.".
> Melyrid's ears perked up at that comment.
> Thespid hadn't actually said who her new friend was yesterday.
> "Well you'll have plenty of time to visit later." she told Thespid, "Make sure you two get everything on that list first. Business before pleasure.".
> Thespid frowned, but chose not to argue the point.
>>
>>25651653
> "I've also got a few other errands to run as well, so I'll be back later this afternoon." Melyrid told them as she headed for the front door.
> "Remember what Twilight said about our disguises." Agraul reminded Melyrid as she was about to leave.
> "I remember." she said back, "And both of you remember to stay out of trouble!".
> Melyrid left, locked the door behind her, then disguised herself as Derpy as she flew off.

> "Does she really think she needs to tell us that everyday?" Thespid asked rhetorically.
> Agraul just shrugged and told her "I think that was more directed at you." as he chuckled slightly.
> Thespid turned her head and gave him a stern dead-eyed stare.
> "Alright lets have a look at this thing." she said as she started reading over Melyrid's list.
> Agraul opened and then locked the door for her as they both left the shop.
> Then he disguised himself as Bon Bon while Thespid continued reading the list.
> Thespid sneered and told Agraul "You know what, you can handle this on your own." as she gave him the list.
> "What!? But she told us to go get this stuff together!" Agraul reminded her.
> Thespid gave him a smug grin as she remembered his behavior last night, "Oh don't you worry. You're a big boy now, and big boys don't need any help getting the groceries. So suck it up smart mouth!".

> As Thespid started to walk off, Agraul asked her "Aren't you going to disguise yourself?".
> Thespid scoffed and told him "The whole point of us doing this is so that we don't have to live in disguises anymore. Besides, these ponies need to get used to us sooner or later. You go ahead and be a coward if you want to.".
> With that Thespid left, and Agraul headed for the market, keeping his disguise.
>>
>>25651822
> As much as she wanted to go see Rainbow Dash right away, Agraul's remark about staying disguised suddenly filled her with an intense desire to be seen.
> Although the market would almost certainly be the most crowded place in town, she had no interest in running errands or babysitting Agraul.
> Instead she headed for the town square.
> Their shop was on the outer fringes of the main part of town, and Thespid decided to take the scenic route to show herself off to as many ponies as possible.

> The first pony who saw her was actually two stallions who were busy talking as they came around a corner.
> Caramel was talking to Noteworthy, and at first neither of them noticed Thespid.
> Thespid moved to get right in their path, and it was then that Noteworthy caught sight of her out of the corner of his eye.
> It wasn't until he glanced over that he really noticed her, and stopped dead in his tracks.
> Caramel wouldn't have turned his head at all if not for Noteworthy's reaction, but by the time he did it was too late.
> He bumped into Thespid, and told her "Oh! Oops. I'm so sorr-REEEHEHE!!" as he finally looked up and saw her, then immediately backed off a few steps.
>>
>>25652000
> Thespid's smug grin suddenly grew into a big fang filled smile, and after taking a moment to relish the shock and horror in their faces, she told them "No problem.".
> Thespid just stood there continuing to enjoy their terrified stares, then stepped closer saying "Well look at this. Two big strapping stallions scared stiff by little ol' me." as she got right up in Caramel's face.

> Then she leered over at Noteworthy, and stepped toward him.
> She raised a hoof to his cheek, and looked him strait in the eyes as she told him "You studs are gonna make me blush.".
> Noteworthy gulped in fear, as Thespid's face got so close he was certain she was about to kiss him.
> But in the blink of an eye she pulled her hoof from his face, and just kept walking.

> Both of them watched as she walked off, then looked at each other wondering what just happened.
> Thespid had a huge smile on her face as she walked on with her head held high, and once she was out of ear shot she told herself "Today is gonna be a damn good day.".
>>
>>25652142
> As Thespid got further into town, more and more ponies couldn't help but stare and chatter among each other.
> She walked proudly down the middle of the street, pleasantly tickled by all the eyes she had on her.
> She was a little disappointed that no pony ducked back in there homes and locked the doors, or took of running as soon as they saw her.
> Not having anywhere in particular to go, Thespid took her time.
> But eventually she came to the town square, though it was really more of a circle, around town hall.

> She decided to give her hooves a rest and sat on a bench shaded by a tree for a little while, resting her forelegs along the back of the bench.
> As she watched more and more ponies walk by staring at her, she decided to have a little fun with them.

> When she spotted a pony staring at her as they walked by, should would start a three second count down in her head.
> If they were still staring at her when she reached zero, she would transform into a perfect copy of them, then give a big excited smile and wave until they looked away.
> Most ponies were so embarrassed, they would freeze on the spot, drop their jaws for a moment, then quickly turn their heads and walk away.

> Occasionally some pony would shoot her an angry look, rather then be embarrassed by their copy.
> When that happened, Thespid would replace her happy wave with a puppy eyed pouty face, complete with a big protruding lower lip.
> Despite doing all this in full view of any pony around, not one single pony had the nerve to walk up and confront her.

> She had so much fun messing with passers by, she couldn't help but smile the entire time.
>>
>>25652276
> After a while Thespid saw a familiar face; Vinyl Scratch.
> As always she had her headphones on, listening to some blaring music that drowned out the rest of the world.
> As Vinyl walked by she spotted Thespid, despite her music induced tunnel vision.
> Her smile grew bigger, and she gave Thespid a single wave.
> She may not have been Thespid's favorite customer, but she was the first pony she'd seen all day who'd reacted positively to her presence.
> So Thespid reciprocated with a single nod and wave.
> With that little gesture, Vinyl happily continued on her way.
> Short and sweet.
> Thespid liked that.
> Vinyl Scratch was officially up for consideration to be added to her short list of friends.

> Suddenly Thespid heard a rustling noise coming from the tree behind her.
> She looked back and saw no pony there, and assumed it was just a squirrel or something.

> Then Thespid spotted another face that she was extremely familiar with, and very happy to see.
> Cherry Berry.
> How she was walking around looking perfectly fine without a single bruise on her face after what she and Cherry Pop did last night, Thespid had no idea.
> Maybe she was wearing make-up.
> Maybe she used some kind of magic to heal herself.
> Whatever it was, it worked really well.
> There wasn't even a single hair out of place in that pretty yellow mane of hers.
>>
>>25652417
> In her mind Thespid hoped and pleaded with all her might, for Cherry Berry to notice and look at her.
> She didn't care what looks the other ponies shot her way, she wanted Cherry Berry to look at her.
> Although it took a little bit, Thespid got her wish.
> Cherry Berry spotted her sitting on the bench.
> As soon as she made eye contact, Thespid didn't even bother with her countdown.

> She instantly transformed into Cherry Pop, made a kissy face at her, and followed it up with a single cheek clicking wink, then immediately reverted.

> Thespid never thought she would ever see someone that pink turn that white so quickly!
> Cherry Berry's face was the picture perfect definition of mortified.
> If her eyes got any bigger they would have floated away like balloons.
> Her mouth began to quiver, not making a sound.
> And all the while Thespid just sat there, smiling strait at her with a diabolical look in her eyes.
> Finally Cherry Berry snapped out of her catatonic state, turned around, and ran as fast as she possibly could.

> Thespid began chuckling maniacally, just loud enough that she didn't hear the hoof steps approaching from the tree behind her.
> "Um, hello." said a soft voice from behind that interrupted her laughter.
> Thespid stopped and turned to look, "Oh, it's you three.".
>>
>>25652572
> Sweetie Belle stood before Thespid, with Applebloom and Scootaloo close behind her.
> That made two ponies who were actually pleasant to her.
> Or was that four?
> Thespid decided that even though they were just fillies, she would give them a chance.
> "Hi there." she said with a non-toothy smile.
> Sweetie Belle just stood there with a nervous grin, until Scootaloo gave her a nudge.
> "Um... what's your name?" she finally asked.
> "I'm Thespid."
> "Thespid? That's... an interesting name." Sweetie Belle said, "My name's--".
> "I already know your names." Thespid said, cutting her off.

> "You're Sweetie Belle. That's Applebloom and Scootaloo." she said as she pointed to each of them.
> "You're sisters are Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash." then she pointed at Scootaloo telling her "Who by the way I also think is fu- uhhh... really awesome.".
> "You three are the founding members of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. And you have a little tree house out by Sweet Apple Acres, where you get together and hang out all the time."
> Thespid finally stopped, and just smiled at their dumbfounded looks.
> "Did I forget anything?"

> Applebloom was the first to snap back to her senses, and asked "How do you know all that?".
> "Why darling, I'm a Changeling. Ah've been livin' here in disguise fer over a week now. Plenty of time to get to know every pony." Thespid explained as she briefly transformed into Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash, before returning to her natural form.
> Sweetie Belle and Applebloom dropped their jaws at how perfectly Thespid duplicated their sisters.
>>
>>25652741
> "Wow, cool!" Scootaloo cheered, then asked "Can you do smaller ponies like us?".
> Thespid was enjoying this.
> She changed into Diamond Tiara and told them "I can do whatever I want, because I'm rich! And NO PONY tells ME what to do!" then reverted again.
> All three of them got a good chuckle out of that.

> "Good one!" Applebloom said, "Though, y' do know she's not lahk that any more, raht?".
> Then Thespid briefly changed into Twilight, "Of course I know Applebloom. I know everything! Because all I ever do is read books. And everyone knows that anything and everything can be found in books.".
> The three of them started laughing so hard that other ponies couldn't help but take notice.

> "Okay." Sweetie Belle said as a sly grin came over her face, "But can you do ponies bigger than you?".
> *Was that a challenge?* Thespid thought.
> She frowned a nasty frown, and stood up off the bench glaring down at them.
> Then she transformed, "I can change into the biggest of ponies.".
> Literally every single pony who could see them froze on the spot, and watched as Princess Celestia happily bowed before the CMC!
> Then Thespid reverted and sat back down, and it was only then that she noticed the entire crowd staring at her.

> "Okay, this is a bit more attention than I wanted all at once." she said to herself as she began to feel uncomfortable for the first time all day.
>>
>>25652928
> After a moment of having every pony around staring at her, Thespid decided it was time to get going.
> The CMC followed along, while Thespid breathed a sigh of relief as the crowd finally stopped staring, and went about their business.

> "So you like Rainbow Dash too?" Scootaloo asked.
> "What? Oh, yeah. I raced her yesterday and got to see her sonic rainboom." Thespid told her, "It was even more amazing than I'd heard.".
> Scootaloo's eyes popped open, and she asked "Whoa! Wait a minute! Are you saying that Rainbow Dash had to do a sonic rainboom... to beat you in a race!?".
> Thespid really liked the way she said that.
> She smiled looking over at Scootaloo and told her "As a matter of fact. Yes! She did.".
> "Whoa!" all three of them said in amazed unison.

> Thespid got a big smlie out of that, *This day just keeps getting better and better!* she thought.

> That talk about Rainbow Dash reminded Thespid of her plans for the day.
> "Actually, I was going to invite her to lunch." she said, "I better get going.".
> "Okay. Tell Rainbow Dash I said 'hi'!" Scootaloo told her.
> "It was really fun meeting you Thespid." said Sweetie Belle.
> "Yeah. See ya around!" Applebloom concluded.
> Thespid turned back and smiled, "Thanks girls. It was fun meeting you too.".
> Then she took off flying, headed for Rainbow Dash's house.

>You decide to start with the novels.
>They are pretty good... You've seen ponies reading them while working undercover before, and heard other ponies rave about their quality.
>Definitely better than ceiling staring.
>They manage to keep your attention for one of your 'days'.
>The next day, you spend some time reviewing the introductory spell book.
>'Spell Theory'
>'Levitation for fun and profit'
>'Fire; what can't it do?'
>'Cleaning with magic; how make the earth ponies jealous'
>'Divination; how to find stuff you lost'
>Stuff you generally know.
Oh well... May as well see if they have any nice little tips to improve my technique...
~~~~~~~~~
>Nope. Pretty much all shit you knew.
>You elect to reread the 3 novels again, rather then engage in studying the ceiling.
>Part way through reading through the second book, you hear the familiar clop of royal guard hooves in the hallway.
>Twilight must be back...
>Hopefully, bearing good news.
>The door unseals, and you see four familiar faces...
I know, I know, lead the way, boys.
>The lead guard rolls their eyes, and they all stand in formation.
>You step in the middle of them, and follow their lead to the 'interview room'.
>Upon arriving, the lead guard opens up the door.
>Inside is an unexpected sight.
>>
>>25657229

>The aura filling the room is the most nourishing thing you've felt since you were taken into custody.
>Not one, not two, but three ponies sit across the table from you.
>Three alicorns, at that.
>Celestia in the middle, flanked on one side by Twilight, flanked on the other by a dark blue alicorn with a lighter blue mane, seemingly filled with stars.
>Must be Princess Luna.
>3 of the 4 Princesses of Equestria are sitting in a room with you.
>This could be really terrible.
>On the other hand... There might be something good to come soon.
>Being that you are considered an 'enemy of the state', decisions involving your incarceration here likely involve all the Princesses.
>Celestia speaks, as you stand in the doorway.
>"Please, Ik'thik, take a seat."
>You nod, and enter the room, taking your seat across the table from the Princesses.
>"You are familiar with Twilight Sparkle... Let me introduce you to Princess Luna."
>Celestia motions to the dark blue alicorn next to her.
>Luna nods to you.
>"Greetings, Ik'thik."
>Celestia returns her gaze to you, and speaks again.
>"The three of us are here to discuss your... Situation."
>You nod in response to her.
Thank you... Getting some closure on what is to happen to me in the immediate future will be nice.
>"To begin with, you have left an... impression on Twilight. She has insisted we do something immediately."
>"Yes, Celestia... Leaving Ik'thik down here is cruel... He is starving... There are almost no emotions down here, and none that are positive.
>"Is this true, Ik'thik?"
>>
>>25657502

Yes, Celestia. I get scraps of hate and anger from the guards... Before Twilight visited me, I was sure I was going to starve to death down here.
Her first visit had enough positive emotions to atleast keep death at bay... Her next visit was even more pleasant, though still leaving me very weak.
Your visit today, Celestia, is very pleasant... Your aura is soothing and nourishing. Though I doubt your visit will do little more than keep me just above the brink of starvation.
>Celestia nods.
>Luna stares... She looks as though she is trying to figure you out.
>"Your situation is less than ideal down here then, my little changeling."
>Celestia looks to Luna, questioningly.
>Twilight speaks up.
>"Ik'thik, you have been cooperative, and educational."
>You shrug in response.
I have little else to do down here. Talking is atleast somewhat stimulating.
>Luna looks at you, nods, and speaks to Celestia.
>"I believe Twilights proposal is acceptable in this case."
>Twilight's eyes brighten up at Luna's statement.
>Her joy adds more pleasant emotions to what is already in the room.
>Celestia nods, then speaks.
>"So be it. Ik'thik, you are to be moved elsewhere in the castle. Somewhere less... dour."
>"You have been deemed less of a danger to society than what is usually kept in these deep halls."
>Your heart brightens at these words.
Will... I be able to see Lavender again?
>"Before we discuss that, we must discuss the conditions of your transfer."
>At those words from Celestia, Twilight magics a set of four metal shackles onto the table.
>There are no chains between them, like the ones currently connecting your legs together.
>"Ik'thik, these are magical shackles I have modified from other's we normally use on magical prisoners."
>Twilight moves them before you as she speaks.
>"They will dampen most of your magic... But, you should still be able to change form while wearing them."
>>
>>25657962


>You give twilight an odd look.
That's... an odd exception to a magical ward? Not that I don't appreciate it... But why?
>Twilight looks to Celestia.
>"You are going to be held near the upper portions of the castle, Ik'thik. At times, you may be allowed into public areas."
>"To prevent fear and outcry, during such trips, you will be asked to take on the form of a pony."
...But why?
>"I wish to keep you around as an advisor, Ik'thik. I cannot free you, but I will make your stay in my custody more comfortable than what is given to you down here."
>You are going to be involved in court... Bleh
And what of Lavender?
>Celestia looks at the other Princesses beside her, and upon their approval, she speaks again.
>"We have discovered she is quite handy with power equipment. During her... stay elsewhere in the castle, she has taken to working in the equipment shed, under our head groundskeeper."
>"She has also aired greiveances of wishing to see you as well."
>Celestia gives off a smile that unleashes some of the most delicious emotions you've felt yet today.
>"We have arranged for a secure suite for the both of you to live together, in the custody of the royal guards."
>Your jaw would surely drop to the floor if it could at this news.
>Apperantly, being pleasant to the Princesses has had a nice outcome for the situation at hand... As good as you could hope, at least.
I... I don't know what to say... Thank you, Princesses.
>A magic aura appears around the shackles you are currently wearing, and they are removed.
>"Alright, Ik'thik, time for the new ones..."
>Twilight lifts the old shackles out of the way, and the new ones are snapped into place on your legs.
>"Only myself, or one of the other Princesses can remove these shackles Ik'thik. They are magically bound, and cannot be removed by any other means."
>They are slightly more bearable than the previous ones... less excess weight from the chains.
>>
>>25658294

>"When out and about, you will also have to wear this..."
>Twilight lifts a black jumpsuit with bright orange stripes along the legs from behind the table.
>"It will mark you to the guards and any otherpony who may be around the castle. It will cover the shackles, however."
>Celestia speaks up.
>"Don't think of trying to leave the castle grounds, Ik'thik. The enchantments on the shackles are powerful, and WILL prevent you from doing so."
>You don the gaudy jumpsuit, as the princesses prepare to leave.
>Celestia and Luna leave before you.
>Twilight comes and stands near you.
>"Ik'thik, I will follow along as the guards lead you to your new abode."
Thank you, Twilight... For all of this.
>She smiles, and says nothing.
>Her emotions tell you enough.
>Twilight walks behind you and your royal guard entourage, slowly walking up many sets of stairs.
>After roughtly 5 minutes of winding upward, Twilight commands the guards to stop.
>"Ik'thik, do you feel as though you are able to use your magic to disguise yourself? We are entering... more public areas of the castle."
Let's find out...
>You focus your thought, and your energy to taking on an altered form...
>Pine Fresh.
>With a flash of green, you once more assume the pony form you had become so used to in Cloudcrop.
>Twilight's eyes light up with suprise.
>"You did it... The enchantment worked! That will make getting to your new digs a piece of cake, then!"
>The hallways the guards move you through now are extremely ornate compared to the spartan walls of the dungeon depths.
>You see the occasional non-guard pony moving about their business, giving you odd looks to your escorts and garb.
>>
>>25658302

>Eventually, you are lead to a plain door, down a relatively narrow side hallway.
>The door has been fitted with numerous locks, including what appears to be a heavy duty deadbolt only operable from the outside.
>One of the forward guards unlocks the door, and opens it.
>Inside, sitting on a small couch, is Lavender.
>You feel a huge swell of emotions as she looks up, and recognizes you.
>"Ik'thik!"
>You run through the door, as she jumps off the couch.
>The both of you join together in an embrace in the middle of the small room.
>From beyond the door in the hallway, Twilight Sparkle watches, with a smile on her face.
I was afraid I would never see you again, Lavender...
>You observe tears of joy rolling down Lavender's face.
>"I missed you so much... I was so alone in the prison..."
>You continue your extended embrace.
>Twilight interrupts.
>"This is where you will both be staying. You should already be familiar with your schedule, Lavender."
>Lavender nods in response.
>"Yes, Princess..."
>"Ik'thik. You will be spending much of your time here... You will have atleast 1 hour daily to be escorted around the castle."
>"This includes visiting the library, gardens, as well as the palace gymnasuim. You will be at the beck and call of the Princesses should they require your... expertise."
Thank you, Twilight... This is the best outcome I could have expected, outside of complete freedom...
>"Surely, you must understand our choices, though..."
I do...
>"I will leave you two to enjoy your reunion."
>Twilight steps outside the door, and it is closed, and the sound of several locks being engaged is heard.
>Lavender stares into your eyes, and you into hers.
>With a flash of green, you resume your base form.
>Things could definitely be worse... This is definitely preferable to the deepest dungeons...
>No being enjoys lacking freedom.
>But, being a political prisoner with reasonable lodgings, shared with your special somepony is acceptable.

But through the stormy night
Behold: a star of glory shines!
Against a brutal outcry
Behold: a hymn springs forth!

A shining star, a ringing song:
A dream and a prayer for us!

Hand and hand together
Across the limitless eternity
We will no longer be put asunder
We will no longer be separated!

I may know the answers.
Journeys over snow and sand.
What twist in fate has brought us
To tread upon this land?

Blessed by light and the burden of shadows.
Souls abide to an endless desire.

I may know the answers,
Though one question I still hear.
What twist in fate has brought us
To roads that run so near?

Distant worlds together.
Miracles from realms beyond.
The life-light burns inside me
To sing to you this song.

The End of this part of Ik'thik's tale.

Also, if you haven't check out the addendum at the end of the pastebin for the story.

> Derpy approached Rainbow Dash's home, and discovered her repairing a massive hole through her house with nearby clouds.
> Melyrid reverted back to her normal form and told herself, "Thespid's handy work no doubt.".
> Melyrid called out as she closed in, "Hello Rainbow Dash.".
> Seeing another Changeling was the last thing she wanted, "What do you want?".
> Melyrid ignored her hostile attitude, and told her "My sister mentioned that she made a new friend yesterday. So I figured we should have a little talk.".

> If Rainbow Dash had turned her head any faster, she would have pulled a muscle.
> "New friend!?" she blared out, "She cheated me in a race, made me crash through my own house, then as if that wasn't bad enough, she--!".
> Rainbow Dash stopped herself, because she didn't want ANY pony to know what happened after that.
> "Just tell her she better stay away from me if she knows what's good for her!" Rainbow Dash said, as she grabbed another chunk of cloud to add to her house.

> Melyrid smiled, shook her head, and began telling her "Unfortunately, that is no longer an option for you. Whatever happened between the two of you yesterday, you obviously did something to impress her. Because she has chosen to add you to her very SHORT list of friends. And Thespid NEVER turns her back on a friend." as she also grabbed a chunk of cloud, and began helping Rainbow Dash repair her house.
> Rainbow Dash was surprised that Melyrid was helping suddenly her.
> As much as she didn't like Changelings, she wasn't going to refuse the help.
> She was far too embarrassed about yesterday to ask any pony else.
>>
>>25670088
> Rainbow Dash and Melyrid kept using cloud pieces to fix the inside of the house while their conversation continued.
> "So what's her deal anyway?" Rainbow Dash asked, "She completely humiliated me yesterday, and now she thinks we're friends!? Is she crazy or just plain nuts?".

> Melyrid chuckled.
> "I've often wondered the exact same thing myself. It's taken me a long time to gain some understanding of how my little sister's mind works. There are a few things you need to know in order to make being around her... bearable. First and foremost, she detests weakness in all it's forms. And she is very good at finding others weaknesses. Where most are concerned, she will exploit their weakness purely to delight in their torment. But where her friends are concerned, she seeks to purge them of their weakness. And she does this by forcing them to confront and overcome it. If your encounter yesterday was unpleasant for you, which it obviously was, then she has certainly found some weakness in you."

> Rainbow Dash didn't like that remark at all, "What she did was creep me out! That doesn't mean I'm weak!".
> Melyrid smiled and nodded, "If that's true, then she found something that you fear, or that makes you uncomfortable.".
> Rainbow Dash turned away, blushing.
> "Whatever it is that she found out about you, she will continue to bring it up constantly until you face up to it. She sees this as doing you a favor. Because she knows that in the end you will become stronger for having faced your fears."
> Rainbow Dash wanted to scream, but she didn't want to tell her about the dildo, or the kiss.
>>
>>25670213
> Because Rainbow Dash had spent most of yesterday fixing the inside of her house, it didn't take long for her and Melyrid to finish fixing the inner walls.
> They moved their conversation around back to start fixing the rear wall.

> "The next thing you need to know is how to keep Thespid in line." Melyrid told her.
> Rainbow Dash perked up, baffled by that phrase.
> "'Keep her in line'? What's that supposed to mean?"
> "Her outward behavior towards others is much like that of a cat toying with a mouse. She will taunt you and play mind games to keep herself in a position of superiority. If you want her to treat you with any amount of respect, you'll have to earn it."
> "And how am I supposed to do that?" Rainbow Dash asked sarcastically, as if she had any interest in being friends with Thespid.

> But Melyrid could tell by the simple fact that Rainbow Dash had asked, that some part of her genuinely was interested.
> "It's not enough to simply endure her abuse. You have to show her that you can dish it out just as well, if not better, than she can. Seek out her weaknesses. Point out her flaws. But not in a hostile way. More of a sarcastic teasing way. This will prove to her that you are every bit her equal, and worthy of her respect. That you are strong enough for her to depend on."
> Rainbow Dash was confused by that contradiction, and asked "I thought you said I already 'impressed' her. Why do I still need to 'prove myself' to her?".
> Melyrid smiled at her growing interest in the subject, and told her "So that she knows you will be just as dependable as she is.".
>>
>>25670358
> "Dependable!?" Rainbow Dash asked back, "She's a complete pain in the tail! You just said that she likes to tease and play mind games with every pony, including her friends. So why would I want to be friends with some pony... or... Changeling... like that!?".
> Melyrid just hovered silently, until Rainbow Dash turned to see the gentle smile on her face, and told her "You don't understand what it really means for Thespid to call someone a friend.".
> Rainbow Dash gave Melyrid a blasé glare, and asked "Well then what does it mean? And why should I give half a cloud about being friends with someone like her!?".

> They had finished fixing the back wall, and Melyrid followed Rainbow Dash around to the front of the house, and continued explaining things to her.

> "Because Thespid is extremely picky about who she calls a friend. You see, Changelings don't have what you would call a 'family structure'. Hundreds of us are born at a time. And because of that, our families aren't anywhere near as close knit as yours are. We all pick and choose who we care about. And very rarely does Thespid find anyone who meets her high standards."
> Melyrid stopped adding cloud chunks to the wall, and just continued to speak while Rainbow Dash kept working.
> "When I first told her we were coming to Ponyville, she was very interested to meet you. She'd heard about what a fierce fighter you were in the Canterlot invasion, and about your penchant for speed. She was particularly interested to see your famous 'sonic rainboom'."
> It was then that Rainbow Dash began to see her race with Thespid in a new light.
>>
>>25670490
> Melyrid got a serious look on her face, though Rainbow Dash was still too busy to notice.
> "I can understand your reluctance to becoming friends with Thespid, given how overtly hostile she tends to be. But the reason she is so choosy about her friends is because of how deep her devotion to them goes. After I earned my way onto that short list of hers, I was amazed by the things she was suddenly willing to do for me. She doesn't just live up to expectations. She surpasses them by leaps and bounds. And for all the fake lives I had lived, I had never seen any pony, Changeling, or any other creature, go so far for another."

> Then Melyrid hovered between Rainbow Dash and the tuft of cloud she was picking from, forcing her to stop and look her strait in the eyes as she told her "What you need to realize more than anything else, is that when Thespid calls you a friend, it doesn't just mean that she wants to hang out and play games with you.".
> Then Melyrid moved in close, just inches from her face, with a deadly serious look in her eyes as she told her "It means that she is willing... to DIE for you!".

> Rainbow Dash was so shocked, she almost forgot to keep flapping when she heard that.
> Melyrid backed off and tightly held her eyes closed, as she took a couple deep calming breaths and held back the tears she could feel coming on.
> Rainbow Dash couldn't believe what she'd heard, or what she was seeing.
> "Wow. You're... you're really serious aren't you?"
> Melyrid was still struggling to keep herself composed, and just nodded.
>>
>>25670625
> Now Rainbow Dash started feeling guilty, but even everything Melyrid had said didn't excuse what Thespid had done to her.
> Still...

> "I... I'm so--"
> "You don't have to apologize." Melyrid interrupted, "You didn't know. And Thespid is very difficult to understand.".
> Melyrid went back to adding clouds to the broken wall, while Rainbow Dash just flapped there and listened.

> "It's taken me years to understand her as well as I do. I just wanted to come here and talk to you, to spare you the turmoil that I went through with her. It's not often that Thespid goes out looking for friends. In fact I think you're the first! You've been given a rare and precious gift Rainbow Dash. And I wanted to make sure that Thespid's abrasive behavior didn't ruin it for either of you. She will push you, test you, and bring your temper to a boil in the blink of an eye."
> Rainbow Dash was looking nervous.
> Melyrid was making this out to be some kind of trial by fire that she was completely unprepared for.
> But then Melyrid's eyes softened, and she smiled telling her "But if you're willing to give her a chance, and you're strong enough to endure all that it entails... then I can promise that she will not disappoint you. Ever!" as she placed the last cloud tuft in the wall, filling the final hole.
>>
>>25670758
> Her house was fixed, and now she had a choice to make.
> Melyrid kept smiling as Rainbow Dash admired their work.
> "Well I've said what I came to say. What happens now is entirely up to you." She said as she turned and started flying away, "Good luck Rainbow Dash.".

> "Uh, hey! Wait!" She called out.
> Melyrid stopped and turned around, then Rainbow Dash asked her "What was your name again?".
> "Melyrid."
> "Well... thanks Melyrid. For everything." she said gesturing to her house.
> Melyrid nodded and said "It was the least I could do. My little sister can be quite the trouble maker." then flew off.

> Rainbow Dash went back inside, thinking about everything Melyrid has said.
> She began to consider how best to deal with Thespid.
> Then she smiled, as a brilliant idea crept into her mind.

You can say that again looks great.
I've been looking at them for a while, but haven't been able to pull the trigger. My old board is toast, thought I could get one more season out of it, but it cracked on my first day trip last week. Is it brand new, or have you ridden it before?

>that's what I've been trying to achieve
Yeah, only issue you'll have is someone curious about the graphic who actually asked. Which is unlikely. Or someone who watches the show, but what are the chances they are out exercising?
Honestly, if you run into someone on the mt. they'll probably not be autistic in public. Maybe a subtle, "nice board". I think your power level is safe.
Got any stories?

The SHIT you say!?
Well fuck that noise, let's get some green goin'!

> Bon Bon arrived at the market, looking over the list to see where to start.
> It was mostly fruits and vegetables, milk, cheese, bread, and yogurt.
> She began looking around for the closest stand that had anything on her list.
> Unfortunately that turned out to be the bread stand, and she didn't want all her other groceries piled on top squishing the bread.
> She would come back there later.

> The various vegetable stands weren't far off, and Bon Bon visited the ones she needed to in quick succession.
> After just two stands, a familiar voice called out to her.
> "Bon Bon! Hey Bon Bon!"
> It was Lyra, and Bon Bon immediately realized this would not end well.

> "Bon Bon what are you doing here? I thought you were going to Sugar Cube Corner."
> Bon Bon was overwhelmed by nerves and guilt, and moved in close to whisper to her "Actually, I'm not Bon Bon.".
> Lyra was confused, and quickly looked around to make sure no pony could hear them before she told her "Uh, yeah. I already know that.".
> Bon Bon was shocked, and then relieved.

> But before she could say anything, Lyra went on whispering "You already told me about the whole 'Sweetie Drops' thing months ago. What does that have to do with anything?".
> Now Bon Bon was utterly baffled, "Um... wh... what?".
> "Is this another secret mission or something? What's going on with you?"
> Bon Bon shook her head and told her, "Look I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm not Bon Bon. I'm Agraul.".

> Lyra's face scrunched on one side, "Agraul!? Is this another secret identity or something?".
> "What!? No! What are you--" Bon Bon desperately tried to stay on track, "I'm one of the Changelings that works at the sex shop that--".
> Bon Bon suddenly stopped and slapped her hoof over her mouth.
> She had almost said something she was NEVER supposed to talk about.

> Lyra finally realized who she was really talking to, or rather who she wasn't talking to, and she was mad.
> "YOU'RE WHAT!?" Lyra shouted out loud.
> The whispering was over.

> "I'm sorry! I never meant to trick you, or anyone!" Bon Bon told her as she cringed in fear, "I just didn't want to scare anyone by walking around in my true form.".
> "Oh! So you just randomly decided to pose as Bon Bon. Is THAT it!?" Lyra shouted back.
> Another pony came walking up to them and asked "Is something wrong?".
> They both looked, and it was Shoeshine.
> "I was jus--" Lyra cut off Bon Bon, telling Shoeshine "This... CHANGELING... is posing as Bon Bon! That's what's wrong!".

> Lyra said that so loud that practically the entire market heard her!
> Everyone started crowding around with angry looks, and Bon Bon cringed in horror.
> The crowd started shouting at her, "Who's energy were you trying to drain THIS time!?", "I knew those creepy freaks were up to something!", "Show us your REAL face you coward!".
> Bon Bon tried to back away, only to find herself completely surrounded and trapped!
> "No, wait. Please! I wasn't trying to trick any pony! I was afraid I'd scare someone if I didn't look like the rest of you! I'm sorry! I never meant to hurt any pony! Please!!"

> The crowd was closing in, "Can you believe that?", "Of all the nerve!", "What kind of lame excuse was that!?", "Drop the disguise! You're not fooling any pony!".
> Suddenly a tomato hit the side of Bon Bon's face, splattering all over her.
> The angry faces were closing in, looking meaner than ever.
> Agraul's worst nightmare was coming true!

> Bon Bon crouched on the ground covering her face, and used Changeling magic to create a small protective bubble around herself.
> All she could do was cower in tears.
>>
>>25699007
> As if from on high, an angel of mercy descended upon them.
> She landed right in front of Bon Bon facing the crowd, and spoke with such a gentle voice.
> "That's enough! All of you, stop this, right now!"
> Bon Bon pulled her hooves from her eyes and looked up at her.

> "Get out of the way Fluttershy! That's not Bon Bon, it's one of those Changelings!" Lyra angrily told her.
> Fluttershy frowned back at her, "And what difference does that make? She didn't do anything to you, did she?" she asked.
> "That's not the point. She shouldn't be going around disguised as other ponies." Lyra insisted, "Ponies are going to think she's the real Bon Bon. That it's Bon Bon doing all the things she's doing.".
> "Well did you even bother to ask her why she was disguised as Bon Bon in the first place?" Fluttershy asked.

> Lyra glared hatefully down at Bon Bon as she continued cowering inside her magic bubble, "She said she didn't want to scare any pony with her true form. But that's no excuse for pretending to be some pony else! And besides, if they're so worried about scaring us, then why is that OTHER Changeling sitting in the middle of town square, showing herself off to the whole town!?".
> *Damn you Thespid.*
> "Well I don't know about that Changeling, and maybe you're right." Fluttershy said, "Maybe they shouldn't be disguising themselves as other ponies at all. But can you blame them? She wasn't hurting any of you, and as soon as you found out she was a Changeling, you all ganged up on her! And there's NO excuse for all of you bullying her like that! Just look at how terrified she is!".

> Every pony took a good look at Bon Bon, seeing her whole body quivering, and the terrified look in her eyes as tears ran down her face.
> Lyra looked back up at Fluttershy with a sneer, and told her "I'd feel more sympathetic if she wasn't still disguised as Bon Bon.".
>>
>>25699178
> Fluttershy turned and lowered her face to the edge of Bon Bon's bubble, and told her with kind eyes and a sweet gentle voice "It's okay. I'm here to help. But could you please show us your real form, instead of disguising yourself as Bon Bon anymore?".
> Bon Bon fearfully looked around at the other ponies still frowning and shooting angry looks at her.
> But Fluttershy's sympathetic smile was a beacon of light in the all consuming darkness.

> Although he was still cowering on the ground inside his protective bubble, Agraul finally reverted back to his natural form.
> To his surprise, Fluttershy's gentle smile didn't flinch in the slightest when he changed.
> Instead her smile grew, and she told him "Thank you very much.".
> Fluttershy stood up and addressed the crowd with the same smile, "There, you see? She's not hurting any pony. And she only disguised herself out of consideration for all of us.".

> Suddenly Carrot Top spoke up from the crowd, "Um, actually, I think that's the male Changeling.".
> Fluttershy turned to her, blurting out "What?".
> "Yeah, the female Changelings have hair on their heads." Carrot Top pointed out.
> Fluttershy looked down at Agraul and told him "Oh... sorry." as she blushed slightly.

> Lyra still wasn't satisfied, and asked Fluttershy "And what's to stop him from disguising himself again later?".
> Fluttershy looked down at Agraul still cowering in his bubble, and got an idea.
>>
>>25699348
> Fluttershy leaned down close to talk to Agraul again, telling him "It's okay. You're safe now. And I promise no pony is going to hurt you.".
> Lyra scoffed telling her "You shouldn't make promises you can't keep.".
> Suddenly Fluttershy stood up, looked Lyra dead in the eyes, and gave her... the Stare!
> Lyra, and the entire crowd around her who could see Fluttershy's face, all cringed in horror!
> Looking every bit as terrified as Agraul.
> "Okaywewonthurthim!" Lyra blathered out all at once.
> Fluttershy smiled saying "Thank you.".

> Then Fluttershy looked back down at Agraul, and again told him "See? You're perfectly safe. So, could you please come out now?".
> Agraul was amazed by her ability to tame the crowd, her sweet gentle voice, and the kind sincerity in her eyes.
> He dispelled his protective bubble, and Fluttershy held out a hoof to help him up.
> Once Agraul was back on his hooves, Fluttershy wiped off the tomato from his face.
> Agraul briefly smiled back in gratitude, until he noticed other ponies in the crowd who still weren't happy with him.

> Then Fluttershy started whispering something in his ear.
> When she was done, Fluttershy asked him aloud for the crowd to hear "Would you please introduce yourself for every pony?".
> Agraul nervously glanced at Fluttershy, then scanned the crowd as he told them "M-mmm-my name is... A-Agraul.".
> Fluttershy grinned sympathetically, "Maybe just a little bit louder, please. So every pony can hear you.".
> Agraul tried again, "M-my name's Agraul.".
>>
>>25699513
> Fluttershy continued with her plan, saying "It's nice to meet you Agraul.".
> She looked the crowd over once more, then looked to Agraul and said "Now, have you learned your lesson that ponies don't like it when you disguise yourself as them or their friends?".
> Agraul glanced at Fluttershy, then back at the crowd telling them "Y-yes. Yes I have. And I'm sorry. Really, really sorry!".
> "And you're not going to disguise yourself anymore, are you?" Fluttershy asked for the crowd.
> Agraul shook his head, "No. No. I won't ever disguise myself as any pony, ever again.".
> "Do you promise?" Fluttershy asked him.

> Agraul looked back at Fluttershy with an uncertain look on his face.
> She just smiled confidently, and whispered "Go on.".
> Agraul gulped down the lump in his throat, and took a step forward as he faced the crowd.
> Then with all the appropriate gestures, he said to every pony "C-cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a c-c-cupcake in my eye.".

> As Agraul stood there holding a hoof over his eye, the ponies in the crowd started looking at each other, looking a bit more relaxed.
> Fluttershy got a big smile on her face and told every pony, "There, you see? It's a Pinkie Promise. And no pony EVER breaks a Pinkie Promise! Right?".
> The crowd started mumbling in tacit agreement as they began avoiding eye contact.

> "And since he was nice enough to apologize to all of you, I think it's only fair that all of you apologize to him as well."
> Agraul was so surprised by that remark, he opened both sets of eyelids when he looked back at Fluttershy.
> Then before the shock of her statement even wore off, the ponies in the crowd each started apologizing one after another, all of them looking at him with guilt and regret.

> Agraul couldn't believe his eyes.
>>
>>25699750
> Fluttershy looked over at Lyra and signaled her to come over.
> Lyra hung her head as she walked up to Agraul and told him "I'm sorry Agraul. I... overreacted. And I'm sorry I scared you.".
> But suddenly Lyra shifted moods, glaring at him as she said "But you better not break that promise, or Pinkie Pie will hunt you down like a dog!".
> With that Lyra turned and walked away, while the rest of the crowd started to disperse as well.

> Agraul watched them, utterly baffled by how completely their attitude towards him had transformed.
> "Will you be okay now?" Fluttershy asked him.
> Agraul turned around looking at Fluttershy, smiling so kindly at him.
> His throat and eyes felt swollen and sore, and his jaw started to quiver.
> Then as his eyes began to tear up, he couldn't hold back anymore.
> Agraul reached out and hugged Fluttershy, as he started balling over her shoulder.
> Fluttershy was surprised at first, then he began speaking through his sobs.

> "Oh thank you! Thank you Fluttershy, thank you so much!"
> Fluttershy smiled and started patting him on the back, "There there, it's alright. It was no trouble at all. I was happy to help.".
> Agraul couldn't stop sobbing, and told her "I've never been so scared in my entire life! You saved me Fluttershy! I can't thank you enough! Not ever! Thank you so, so much!" as he squeezed her tight.
> Fluttershy just smiled and let him hug it out until he finally calmed down.
> Which took a few minutes.
>>
>>25699830
> Once his breath stopped quivering, Agraul finally let go of Fluttershy.
> She smiled and asked him "Feeling better now?".
> Agraul wiped his eyes, "Yes. Thank you.".
> "You're quite welcome Agraul. Will you be alright?"
> "Yes, I'll be fine. Again, thank you so much." Agraul told her.
> "It was my pleasure." Fluttershy told him.

> With that nightmare over, Agraul remembered his shopping list and shyly said "I guess I should get back to my shopping.".
> "Oh! Well, actually, I was about to get a few things here myself." Fluttershy told him, "Would you like to go shopping together?".
> Agraul smiled brightly, "I'd love to!".
> Fluttershy smiled back, and Agraul asked her "What's next on your list?".
> She pulled out her list from her satchel and told him "Baby tomatoes.".
> "Perfect!" Agraul said, "I needed to get some vegetables too.".

> Together they walked toward the section of vegetable stands, and Fluttershy asked "So, you and the other Changelings have been living here for about a week now, right?".
> "Yes. One week yesterday."
> "Where did all of you live before you moved to Ponyville?"
> Agraul had to think about that for a moment, then told Fluttershy "Well, the three of us weren't together for very long before we came here. I mean, Melyrid and Thespid had known each other for years. I had met them a couple times, but just in passing. Melyrid came to me with her plan to come to Ponyville, and after I agreed we started the journey here. As for where we lived, well, I'm afraid I can't really tell you.".
> "You can't?" Fluttershy asked, slightly concerned.
>>
>>25699899
> Agraul shook his head and told her "No. You see it's absolutely forbidden to reveal the location of the hive to outsiders. But anyway, I wouldn't really say that's where I lived. It's mostly just a brief resting place for Changelings while we're between disguises. Where I lived was mostly in other ponies homes. Posing as their loved ones, feeding off their love, then moving on.".
> "That sounds awful! For you, AND those ponies." Fluttershy said sadly.
> "Yeah. It's kind of difficult to think of any place as home when you move around that much. But seeing how happy all those families were, the joys and closeness they shared. I envied them so much. So many times I just wanted to stay where I was. But at the same time I was robbing the pony I copied of that same happiness, and I just couldn't stand it anymore. When Melyrid asked me to join her and Thespid, saying that we were going to make new lives for ourselves here, and that we wouldn't have to hide or hurt anyone anymore, I jumped at the chance. And now I finally have a family of my own."

> Fluttershy smiled and wiped a tear from her eye, "Well I'm really happy for you Agraul. And I hope the three of you stay here for a long time.".
> Agraul looked over surprised, "Really?".
> Fluttershy perked up with a big smile, "Absolutely.".
> Agraul smiled back, "Wow. Thanks Fluttershy. I think that's the first time any pony's said that since we got here.".
