Twily

Twi smiled as she walked through Ponyville's market.

The lavender alicorn was happy that it all was perfect.

Until their next inevitable crisis. Tends to happen quite a bit there.

Regardless, she enjoyed it all.

She saw a certain grey Pegasus and her stallion friend in front of a blue box and shook her head with a smile.

Rhodes bore a black cloak and a sneer.

He would deliver for his Queen and her hive.

If he was good enough, she would kiss him!

He desired her kiss more than anything. He drooled over the thought of his goddess kissing him.

Twi was chatting with Colgate and discussing the mirror in the Crystal Empire.

They agreed to never tell anypony. Out of safety.

They decided to allow it to gather dust and be a relic.

Twi was so over Sentry. He was the past and nothing more.

She had far more important matters to deal with.

Equestria's safety superseded one stallion and a potential romance.

Twi ended her conversation and went on her way.

Her wings were...still not cooperating.

She chalked it up to not having proper mental control over them.

So that means it's psychological. Good! She could resolve it easily.

As smart as she was, it's baffling how a potential solution eluded her.

Anywho. She was so caught up in her thoughts she didn't see the cloaked figure until she bumped into it.

It was a blue stallion who gave her a steely eyed gaze. He didn't seem happy.

First Sight

Her beauty was indescribable.

He couldn't comprehend how majestic she was with her lavender coat, deep purple eyes, purple-pink mane and tail, and sunny disposition.

He internally wept from her sheer beauty.

"Oh! I'm sorry. I was lost in my head. Heh." She said apologetically and embarrassedly.

Rhodes was entranced by her voice and unable to form a coherent sentence.

She gave him a look of knowing and blushed.

He felt HIS face grow warm and shook it off.

"I'm Twilight Sparkle. What's YOUR name?" She asked warmly.

"Rhodes. Cross Rhodes. It's an honor, Your Majesty." He said as he bowed.

"Please, it's just Twilight." She said humbly.

"My apologies...Twilight." He said respectfully.

"Ah, a gentlestallion. How pleasant." She mused.

She had gotten plenty of offers from prospective suitors. They hadn't panned out.

Could THIS one be different? Admittedly, since becoming Princess, she hadn't had much time for dating, but, hey, a mare has to date SOMEPONY in her life, right?

"So, I've never seen you around here before." She said.

"Uh, I moved from Fillydelphia." He said.

"Ooh! Exciting!" She said genuinely.

He felt comfy and peaceful around her.

He offered to buy her a lunch and discuss his life with her.

He would bide his time and then, when he was her BFF, he would stab her in the back.

Prologue

Her pheromones cascaded over him. He inhaled happily and sighed.

Her ebony chitin was so dark and inviting.

He loved seeing her walk and ached to hold her.

She smiled a seductive smile and loosed a hypnosis spell on him.

Can't be too careful. She saw his eyes glass over and his body relax as all tension left it.

"Now... What will you do for me, my sweet?" She cooed in a sultry smooth voice.

He tried to regain enough senses to speak.

"Anything..." He said lovingly.

"Good. I've need of you in Ponyville. Infiltrate and convert. But save Twilight Sparkle for ME. After the debacle in Canterlot, I want revenge." She said.

"As you wish. Her arrogance must be met with swift force." Rhodes said fiercely.

"Indeed. Now, go. When you return, I shall reward you appropriately..." She said in a throaty voice into his ear.

"I'm on it!" He said as he zoomed out.

Males. Certain offers are perfect incentive.

Win or lose, Chrysalis was guaranteed one of the two annoyances in her life would be gone, be it Rhodes or Twilight.
