A New Day

  I stood still, the pink pony stared with a smile.

"Emmy, don't you remember? In Canterlot we were at your house, you were in a big, fluffy chair, I was in the back waving a chicken."

"Oh. Truly sorry you just shocked me. I actually wanted to speak with Miss Twilight."

"You can see her at the party!"

"The what?"

"A party! Your welcome-to-ponyville-don't-be-a-stranger party! I have never not met a single pony, sooooooo. Each time I see a new pony I throw them a great big welcome party.

  I've been planning it for a while now, like right-after-I-met-you while. I really hope you enjoy it because it took a really really long time to make it just right!"

Pinkie Pie stopped and smiled. I hope that her neighbors are all right, I would neverwantto be that close to a mare who barely has to breathe between entire paragraphs.

"Is your family here too?"

  I turned around, somehow the pink pony ushered past me and into our house. It's like she could pass through walls or something. Something I wish not to know.

"Yes. We decided to take a vacation and are taking your offer about Ponyville."

"How long are ya staying?"

"Three weeks at least. We have something important to take care of.

  The pink mare stood still, hear ears look liked a dog hearing the call of its' master. She looked behind her down the hall, her eyes widened. Then she darted down the hall.

"OMG! You are adorable!"

  I ran into the room she was in, this pony looked down over Flutterwing who Nymph was trying to guard from the crazy mare. Flutter was not in disguise.

"It's not what it looks like!"

"What do you mean, Queen Emmy? I just see the cutest little changeling ever!"

  My mind completely shut down. This mare had to be out of her pony mind. No pony would say a thing like that about a changeling. Until now.

"I know that look. It's the what-in-the-world-did-I-hear/see look. I get it all the time."

"How did you-"

"It was easy! You see, when we went to your house I felt something was off. I mean no offense, but that many ponies  in one house! I knew then you were special.

  While I was planning, I asked around about you guys before we left Canterlot. I heard some very nice things. Then a pink unicorn ran up to me and said to stop my search.

  She said if there was a changeling in Canterlot, she wanted to be the first to find it. She also said that a changeling would be very foolish to want to be close to Celestia. I mean she did help stand against Queen Chrissy.

  Any-who, back to the party, do you want blue streamers or green balloons. I like the balloons better, but this is your party and-"

  I cut her off with my magic. She still smiled.

"Pinkie, first I need to know. Will you keep this a secrete or do I have to bring my guards."

  The mare somehow got out of my magic and was standing over Flutter and Nymph once more.

"Don't worry, Queen Emmy. I Pinkie Promised after I found out. I don't want to lose a friend. Especially a changeling friend! I mean, how cool is that! A best friend who can become who ever they want!

  I think that you are the coolest thing since Rainbow Dash did a sonic rainboom!"

  She smiled ear to ear. This mare was the most trustworthy and craziest pony I have ever met. Though it might be a good idea to befriend an element of harmony.

  If she trusts us maybe the rest will too. Maybe we can finally be out in the open.

"Emmy?"

  I almost forgot about the pink mare.

"Yes, Pinkie?"

"Can I hold her?"

  I looked down at Flutter who was attempting to bite her cotton candy mane. Nymph glared at Pinkie, he didn't like it when ponies or changelings kept him from playing.

"Nymph do you mind?"

"Huh. Oh well..."

  Pinkie looked down at him with the biggest puppy dog eyes in the world. I swear the almost popped out of her head. Not even Locust would stand a chance against those eyes.

  Nymph broke quickly and dropped his disguise from fright. She didn't care, she just wanted to hold the little princess nibbling on her tail.

" Fine, but if one silk hair is harmed..."

  He shook one hoof threateningly at her. She then picked up Flutterwing and starting playing. I closed my eyes to activate Hive Mind again.

"My family, the pink pony know as Pinkie Pie is of no harm to us. She herself found our hive. But she promises not to tell a soul. Treat her like she was part of our hive."

Through Chrysalis's Eyes

  It has been two days since Cicada left. My subjects, though few in number, were doing their best to collect love for us. We have traveled back into the Badlands searching for the nearest hive.

  The closest to the border was Silverwing. She want to keep her supply of love well enough and I knew she would help me. We have been friends ever since she was a princess.

  I made my way to one of the rock formations sticking out from the ground. I tapped it twice. Then a changeling turned visible with in a second.

"What is your business here?"

"We seek shelter. Our home was destroyed and our energy is almost gone. I even refused my rations for the sake of my subjects."

  The ling looked at me in surprise. He tapped on the rock five times and it opened up.

"This way Queen Chrysalis."

  We were escorted into the hive and received many stares from the grey shelled lings. It was not every day a queen of another hive visited.

  Most of them glared, I knew they believed we would steal their hive. Something most queens would do. But I was different, no ling, nor pony, would harm my children.

  My smaller hive sat outside the throne room as I walked up to Silverwing. She was not happy. I don't know why. She was the cheeriest of all the queens.

"Chrysalis, it's been a long time."

"Too long."

"Are you all right? Was your invasion a success?"

"Unfortunately, no. I underestimated these ponies."

"You should of taken my advise. You should of continued with the old ways."

"Yes, I know."

"I'm sorry for my subjects. We recently discovered a queen stole my daughter while she was being placed in a pony family."

"What!"

"Yes, I know.
