Saderine was standing the the Changling Palace Throne room before her mother. She was a young teen in this time, making her final act of rebellion. Her design was as simple as any other changling, black coat, holes in her hooves and hair, fangs, wings and a horn, Oh, except for two things, she had a pink mane and tail and she fed of of normal food. It was a rare condition that very few changelings had but, Saderine was grateful for it.. She would never be evil like her mother. Standing before her mother took a lot of courage and most people would say she was down right crazy..

Her home in the changling castle was the craziest thing of all, she never got to do her own thing. She was constantly told what to do and how to do it. Most of the servants were nice though.The only problem she had was how her nanny was always pestering her about making new friends. Well FRIENDS in general. Saderine never  actually had any friends. She was way too different, not like that bothered her. She usually liked being by herself. It gave her time to think and draw and do one changling things.   All of the little changlings at school made fun of her for having pink hair because all the other mares had purple and green. The boys were just as bad.. They teased her and called her ugly. They told her she was an unimportant nerd that would grow up and be alone. They called her so lame the queen would banish her. Pft as if! None of them knew she was a princess and she guesses that they never needed to. They would all treat her nicely if she told them. They would pretend to be her friend to get good spots in all the popular things.. Saderine would rather take real ridicule and loneliness over fake smiles and friendship. Friendship... something her mother never got. Ever since Princess Twilight Sparkle became well, Princess, Chrysalis had been planing the future for her daughter. She always says.

" Revenge is sweet but friendship is a dangerous thing." Saderine never got that about her mother. She wanted to go see the world and go see friendship happen! She wanted to be her own free pony. She wanted to use the shape shifting spell her mother taught her so she would never have to come back to this hell hole. Today, her mother is going to accept that.  She had a conversation with Ursa Teddy earlier and he thought she was right!!! It was time to stand up against her mother. Well not really against but you know, for HER greater good. Her mother needed to know whats what in this crazy place.

"Saderine, this is unreasonable!!! You belong here as an heir to the throne!!!" The changling queen Chrysalis said  to her daughter.

" You will become the queen and you will be the descendent to take over Equestria!!!!" She said followed by an evil laugh. Saderine stared at her mother wishing she would see that that wasn't what she wanted. No one understood. She realized that once her mother told her that she would be the queen when she was small. The little changling opened her mouth but only a choke came out. Chrysalis looked surprised as she saw her daughter's eyes water.

" S-Sader--"

" NO!!!!! I WILL NEVER BE LIKE YOU!!! I WILL NEVER RULE EQUESTRIA!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE EVIL AND I AM SICK AND TIRED OF YOU THINKING I WILL EVER BE!!!!!!!!"  The hurt young changeling said as she ran off to her room.

Chrysalis sat and stared at where her daughter stood moments ago. She buried her face in her hooves and cried for the first time since  Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor banished  her. She herd a noise and looked up. It was a guard, holding a note in his magical green aura. Chrysalis scowled at this interruption but, took the not in her aura, dismissing him. She read the note

Dear Mom, yadadadadadadadaddadadadadadadadad *GASP*

" Guards!!!!" She yelled with worry. Suddenly five guards in Celestial armor flashed in to the throne room.

" Yes your highness??" He said looking surprised at her red eyes. She grabbed him in her aura.

" Where is my daugh--" She stopped as she saw a pegasus fly away from Saderine's balcony. Her face dropped. The guards realized what she was looking at and stood waiting for direction. As if they needed any.

" Go!!! Get her!! That  is Saderine!!!" They all looked at each other in confusion. " GO GO GO" The queen yelled running to her daughter's room, taking the lead. Hoping she could get there fast enough to convince Saderine not to leave.

Saderine decided that night that she didn't what to be Saderine anymore.With the glow of her horn she changed her appearance. This one was her favorite creation. No stealing love or taking over people or any evil crap. A new start. She had a pink coat and red hair. She had uneven cropped down bangs and a short straight mane. She was a pegasus with soft wings. Saderine really liked art so she figured she would make that her cutie mark. One big grey star and three weird shaped thingies! She packed a huge bag for her long life and all her savings, One hundred thousand bits and three hundred ninety-three rubies and gemstones. She flew out her window and to the outskirts of the city. She remembered all the good times she had in the city with her mother. Going to get ice cream, going to the park and learning how to shape shift. She especially remembered listening to her mother's describing of Equestria. This started her dream of going there. The way Chrysalis described it made it sound full of magic and wonder and beauty. This city didn't have that. NO, happiness all over. No nice ponies that greet hello even if they don't know you. No freedom to be who you wanted to be. Not what the queen wanted. She knew where she was heading. Los Pegasus. The most beautiful city in all of Equestria ( Well, besides Canterlot, the Capitol).  She has heard about it. Some changlings went there and stayed after the attack on Equestria when Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor got married...... A guard came out and tried to grab her.. He missed. Ha. Saderine saw her mother in the window yelling at her.

" Saderine! No, don't go! I promise I won't yell anymore. I will be better." She pleaded in between sobs. The teen filly was full of rage.. She wasn't Saderine. She would never be. Although she was surprised her mother remembered her disguise..

" I will never come back!!!! You have no control over me anymore! I can be who I want to be and you can't stop me!!" She yelled as she started to transport

" Get her you fools!!" Queen Chrysalis yelled.. Not realizing it was to late..

Saderine flashed and was transported to a valley. She gave out a sigh of relief as she looked at her magical map.   Tears formed in her eyes as she turned to the direction of Los Pegasus and started flying that way.

Goodbye City.                    Goodbye rude fillies.  Goodbye Saderine.

  Hello Los Pegasus.            Hello New life.            Hello Shimmer Shine
