From princess to outcast.
*Dream* 4 years ago.
Cocoon! Come on! Chrysalis will kill us all if she finds us!
I know! I'm just getting the others who are coming with us! We leave anyone here, we get an even worse death!
Fine, but hurry.
*20 minutes later*
Come on, come on, come on! Mo- Chrysalis is distracted, but that only gets us a 5 minute window to get out of here! Once we get out of changeling territory, I want all of you putting on the disguises you chose on. When that happens, the changelings that left that hive will be gone, and we will be reborn as PONIES!
YEAH!
DON'T MOVE, TRAITORS! YOUR DEATH WILL BE PAINLESS IF YOU COOPERATE!
If you run, though, The Queen will make them drag on for hours.i]
"GASP! Oh man, not again."
"Goldie, are you OK? Did you have that dream again?"
"Yeah. Can you tell the butler to bring me breakfast in bed, Silver (1)? I want waffles with chocolate ice cream and a strawberry milkshake."
"OK. I'll be right back."
*10 minutes later*
"Thanks, Silver. This doesn't mean we're friends though."
"Do you want to stay home today? A lot of ponies are sick, I'll tell Cheerilee you are to."
"No, I'm OK. We have that project today anyway. Scoots and I don't want to get a bad mark."
"Ugh, I still can't believe that you chose to work with that blank flank. She's, like, so lame. You should hang out with Diamond (2) and me more."
"Silver?"
"Yes, Goldie?"
"Can you please try to stop being such a parasprite for ONE MINUTE and try to be nice to my friends? They've done NOTHING to you until you starting picking on them!"
