This is My Story

It was a rather peaceful day in Ponyville. It was a Sunday so most ponies were spending time with their family, it hurt to think about that topic. My hive was always a sensitive topic, but I was ok now, Fluttershy and me were going to go meet her friends and maybe I was going to make some new one's. As we got near our first location she said something about this pony being the more friendliness focused of the group, she said she would start me off slow before introducing me to her other friends. It was an oddly shaped building with a little wooden sign outside reading 'Sugar Cube Corner' It wasn't even on a corner I thought. Whatever, it didn't matter what mattered was the pony inside.  The sign on the door said closed but Fluttershy opened the door anyways...

"Pinkieeeeee, Are you in here, I want to introduce you to my new friend" Fluttershy said I was her friend and that made me happy!

"Oooooh new friend I can't wait-" The pink pony was bounding around the corner but once she saw me she stoped hr talking and jumping and just stood mouth agape. I was about to look down, to be sad and just trot away, but then she smile from ear to ear. Confusion was the first emotion I felt, then happiness, If she was smiling, it meant she was happy!

"Hello, I'm... uh well I don't have a name but Fluttershy calls me Change so you can call me that" I smiled so wide my eyes almost closed.

"So Fluttershy, how'd you tame yourself such a cute monster"

"oh gosh..." She blushed alot and I did too

"Thanks I think" I smiled still

"Want a cupcake?" The pink pony asked me. I had to think. Trying to recall as much memory as I had in my brain to find out what had just been offered to me... I couldn't

"I don't think I know what a cupcake is, Can you explain?" My smile faded but I wasn't unhappy, Pinkie Pie seemed to be almost as surprised as when she first saw me.

"YOU'VE NEVER HAD A  CUPCAKE!!!" She had shouted so loud and with so much force Fluttershy's mane got tangled, I was glad for once mine wasn't soft. My ears however we more sensitive than a normal pony and I probably would hear ringing for the next few months.

"I DON'T BEL-" Fluttershy put her hoof over my mouth, I didn't realize I was screaming "sorry, um and no I've never had a cupcake... I'd love to try one if you don't mind" I started to smile again. The way they were treating me, I almost forgot I was different from then, but I didn't care, If they didn't care.

"I'll go get one right now" With that Pinkie kicked up some dust as she rushed into the kitchen. Me and Fluttershy took a seat at a booth.

"So Change, How are you enjoying Pinkie Pie?" Fluttershy smiled, she knew my answer before I did

"She's nice, and random, and slightly enthusiastic... slightly" I said the second time with sarcasm, earned me a small laugh from 'Shy. Then she bounded in carrying a tray like the do in fancy restaurants with the big bowl like lid on top and all shinny. So shiny I could see my reflection. I frowned a bit, I wasn't like them, I would never be like them. I would never live a normal life. I was different and I had nopony who could relate to me. I was the last of my kind that I know who survived. I wiped a tear from my eye 'NO' I was not going to let this bring me down! Fluttershy liked me and now this Pinkie Pie pony liked me! I had made progress and I am determined to be happy! then she lifted the lid I could taste her emotions she seemed extremely exited. It was like she was happy to be giving me a taste of "MGPHFF" she cut my thoughts off as she shoved a cupcake into my mouth.

"How is it!" She smiled super wide! Almost bending physics!

I manage to muster "its good" with only a few crumbs falling out of my mouth. The cupcake was sweet, so sweet. It tasted almost as sweet as love. I looked into the ponies eyes "It's better than good" I spoke clearly now with the cupcake down my throat "It's amazing! Almost the sweetest thing I've ever tasted!"

"yay" Fluttershy gave a small cheer as she ate her cupcake also, she ate slower more elegantly. She was cute, she was always cute she wa- I stopped myself. I know why I was thinking these kinds of thoughts, I just wasn't ready to accept it in my soul...

The next few visits went off without a hitch Rarity was nice, AppleJack was a little jumpy at first and Twilight was more than thrilled to be able to befriend a Changling. She almost wrote a letter to the Princess but Fluttershy told her that might be a bad idea to do write now. And as we headed towards her finally friends house I couldn't shake the feeling I was being watched. It was nearly night and Celestia had just set the sun so I was nearly invisible except for my red eyes and wings. Anypony who stopped us along the way was kind. They all forgave me. I felt so good. Yet I was still alone. Still broken away from my hive. It's weird. Being broken in such a way that you feel worthless. I had to stop along the walk with Fluttershy to gather myself. so many thoughts, ideas jumping in my mind. I thought about my queen, about Fluttershy about her friend and now my friends too. I was happily broken. But I'm still broken. There's no way to fix me. Eventually I will accept it but for now, I'm just alive, not living.

"Hey 'Shy" I stopped so she would also

"Yes Change?" She smiled at me, only boosting my confidence

"thanks, for like, everything, I really do appreciate all your help and kindness, I don't even think i'd still be alive if it weren't for you." I walked forward and gave her a big bear hug. I really needed a hug, I cried a bit but she calmed me down. She cared for me, she was forgiving enough to accept me for the pony I am instead of the monster I was. I loved her. It was the first time I had thought it since... well yah. I thought I loved Fluttershy. She was perfect. I made a promise to myself that day. I would protect Fluttershy now matter what happened. She was my queen. I would and will server her and try to please her for the rest of my natural and hopefully un-natural life. (We changelings live much slightly longer than ponies. Maybe by a 2000 moons) But It was my goal. I wanted to make this mare the happiest mare in the world. We finally broke the hug she smiled and kissed me on the nose. I tasted it. Love, happiness, Friendship, and trust. Trust was new for me. I tasted it slightly in the air around the my new friends but this from Fluttershy. This was true trust. Maybe even true love. But that was not for today's discussion. Now was when we were going to talk to her oldest friend. Rainbow Dash. I mentally smacked myself for having such a big mood swing, from not accepting my love for this mare to now being ready to devote my life to her. Whatever. I had a purpose now, and I was happy...
