You Ate My Crayons!!!

The stars sparkled over the moonlit gardens as Chrysalis waited by the lush bush where her friend had found her the night before. She sighed and tapped her hoof in impatience. Where is Luna?

The changeling filly looked around the beautiful garden. Most flowers had their petals closed, although there was a series of white flowers which seemed to be in full bloom. She trotted over to them,and the closer she got,the bigger the flowers seemed to get. As she reached out to touch one, she realized the flower was nearly three times bigger than her hoof. Its petals were so soft, softer than any of the other flowers she had felt.

“Those are called moon flowers.”

Chrysalis jumped at the voice emanating from behind her, turning only to see a smile spread across Luna’s face. Releasing the tension that had filled her body only moments ago, she sighed in relief. “Would you warn a filly before you go sneaking up on them?”

Luna giggled. “I can’t help that you weren’t paying attention, besides, you seemed to be enjoying yourself.”

Chrysalis nodded once and turned once again to the white blooms. “They’re so beautiful.” She turned to Luna. “You said they’re moon flowers, right?”

The blue filly nodded. “Yes, Star Swirl planted some of their seeds in the garden when he came back from one of his trips into the Everfree Forest. They’re extremely rare to be seen outside of the forest and only bloom at night. Pretty cool, huh?”

The changeling's eyes grew wide. “Wow, that’s super cool! I wish we had flowers like that at our hive. It would really liven things up.”

“Is that where you live?”

Chrysalis turned towards her friend. “Hm? Oh! Yeah, well I live in one that’s in the Everfree. Mama says there’s three hives in all and that they’re pretty far apart from each other.”

Luna jumped up. “Wait one second!” she sat her saddle bags on the ground and unbuttoned the sack. She began to lay all that she had brought on the ground. “I brought a research journal that Star Swirl gave me, so we can show Equestria that changelings are just like ponies!” She laid the journal in between them. “Oh, right!” She dug around in the bag until she produced two shiny red apples, floating one over to Chrysalis.

The black filly took it in her hooves. “Is this for me?”

Luna nodded. “Yeah! This way we won’t get hungry while we work!” She bounded her way next to Chrysalis and sat down. The research journal was placed in front of them by blue magic, followed by the quills, ink, and crayons.

Chrysalis pointed to the colorful, pointy objects. “What are those?”

Luna picked up a red crayon in her hoof and held it out for her friend to see. “What, these?”

The little changeling enveloped the crayon in green magic before placing it in her mouth.

Luna gasped. “What are you doing?!”

Chrysalis began chewing on the crayon. “What? They taste good.”

The blue filly tackled the crayon eating filly and pinned her to the ground. “You can’t eat my crayons!”

Chrysalis swallowed the rest of the crayon and stuck her tongue out at the angry little princess on top of her, before bucking her off, and grabbing the rest of the crayons from the ground.

The filly hit the ground hard on her back, her wings flared out under her. She sat up and looked at the changeling. Luna’s face, from her cheeks to the tips of her ears, was turned crimson with anger. Performing the royal Canterlot voice she shouted. “DO NOT EAT OUR CRAYONS!”

Chrysalis again stuck out her tongue at Luna and started to run away to the other side of the garden, chewing away on a purple crayon. “Nomnomnom”

Luna pursued, her tiny hooves carrying her as fast as they could manage. She began to catch up to Chrysalis, that is until the changeling made a sharp right and sent the poor unsuspecting filly chasing her tumbling into some rose bushes.

Chrysalis stopped and turned around, unsure whether to go back and check on Luna or continue running. Maybe she was being a little too cruel and- Wait. Why did she smell smoke? Suddenly the rose bushes was reduced to a pile of roaring blue flames. Chrysalis’s eyes grew wide as she saw a tiny filly’s shape form out of the flames. Luna came unscathed out of the bushes, smiling.

The tiny changeling took a step back. “Um, Luna, you okay?”

The blue filly looked up at her with wide, twitchy eyes and flared her wings. “Here’s Luna!” The little filly charged at the crayon eater as fast as she could, her horn a glow with blue magic. Chrysalis held her ground, her own horn glowing green. Luna took aim, as well as Chrysalis, and they both fired. With a loud bang the two bolts of magic met, they struggled against the ongoing flow. Neither one of them giving in to the other. After a few moments the two fillies magic began to form a ball which grew, and grew, and grew. Until finally it was too large for either filly to control.

POP

Suddenly a rush a raw magic surrounded the fillies, blowing them back, and enveloped the garden.

~***~

“Uggg....” Luna’s head really hurt for some reason. She opened her eyes slowly, only making out glimpses of her surroundings. Then she opened them wide only to see she was laying in a giant crater. And who happened to be in the middle of that crater?

Chrysalis.

Who happened to be eating her crayons at the moment?

Chrysalis.

Luna bolted up and roared in frustration, pounding her hooves into the charred dirt.

The tiny changeling held out a crayon to Luna, shook it in her direction, and smirked. “Want one?”

Luna’s nostrils flared.

Chrysalis smirked and began chewing on a green crayon. “Come on, Luna.” She waved a orange crayon at her. “Taste the rainbow.”

Before Luna had time to charge again a booming voice shook the now destroyed garden. “LUNA!”

The shaken filly looked up at the white mare calling her name. “Uh-oh” Luna whispered.

Celestia stood at the entrance of the ‘garden’, quickly making her way towards the two. Chrysalis was paralyzed by fear, Luna knew this was it, the end was near.

Celestia finally made it to the center of the crater, gliding down to where the two fillies were, she turned to Luna, “What is the meaning of this, sister?!”

Luna shuffled her hooves and looked up at her big sister. “Well,” she pointed an accusing hoof at Chrysalis. “She stole and then ate my crayons!”

The princess of the sun then turned to the small changeling, Celestia’s eyes narrowed. “I see.” Her horn glowed a powerful yellow and with a flick of it the changeling was sent like a rocket into the sky, to where? Who knows.

Luna bounded towards her sister. “‘Tia will you make more crayons for me, pwease?”

Celestia stomped her hoof, shaking the ground they stood on. “No. From this day forward crayons are banished from Equestria! You have caused too much damage over a simple object. You will have to learn to live without them.” She began walking towards the castle’s entrance.

Luna stood there, jaw dropped. She turned towards the figure of her sister, she closed her mouth and sneered at it. She took away my crayons... She took them away.

From that day forward a darkness grew in the young filly’s heart, one which would follow her for many years. One which would eventually consume her.

Author's Note

Lesson to be learned from this story? Do not steal peoples/ponies crayons because they will plot revenge against you for the rest of their life and turn into a freakin' tyrant.

...I regret nothing! *Runs away*
