I'm Marrying WHO?!

After a few moments of trying to figure out what had just happened to herself, Cadence finally pulled herself together and shook her head.

"I-I can't let this get to me. S-she's just trying to get to me!" she told herself as she walked back into the castle. Cadence was going to return to her own chambers, though stopped however when she saw the Queen. Chrysalis had been with her people and was guiding them to their temporary home, which happened to be an entire section of the castle. Cadence recalled this was the guest wing for when other nations visited, though now was used for the Changelings. The guest wing consisted of 100 bedrooms so its was split up so five changelings would stay in one room. Cadence however was focused on Chrysalis as she walked and guided her people to their rooms.

"Don't worry, this is only a temporary stay" Chrysalis could be heard assuring her people. The love princess however was impressed as she watched Chrysalis go from room to room, not leaving a single changeling out as she talked to them and asked if they needed anything. Chrysalis however had spotted Cadence, and stopped what she was doing to go to her. "Hello again my blushing bride" the changeling teased and Cadence just rolled her eyes this time.

"Hello Chrysalis, so how are they? I mean, how do they like the arrangements? Are they in need of anything?" Cadence asked as she looked into one of the rooms, the changelings looking back curiously to her.

"They seem to be fine. Though a little cramped, but that is only a minor issue. However they don't know who their new Princess will be" Chrysalis smiled as she moved next to Cadence, wrapping an arm around her waist.

"E-Eh? H-Hey! W-What are you doing?!" Cadence blurted out and blushed as she felt herself pulled into one of the rooms.

"Moth, Mossflower, Chitin, Pupa, Dragonfly. This is Princess Cadence, my new bride and the lovely lady who provided you with the love you had earlier today" Chrysalis introduced Cadence to the five changeling women in the room.

"U-Um...H-Hello" Cadence waved with a blush, not really knowing what to do or say to them.

"Cadence here told me she wanted to come and meet the changelings since she will be marrying one, and wanted to answer any questions you all had for her."

"H-Huh?! B-But I never said any of that!"

"It was written all over your face, now ladies do you have any questions for Cadence? She'd love to answer them for you" the Queen smiled to Cadence, a certain smile that told her she better do this, or bad things could happen kinda smile.

"Y-Yes...I-I'd be glad to answer any questions you have" Cadence smiled to them, nervous about what was to come.

"Y-You never said we were going to all of the changelings rooms..." Cadence was exhausted. Not exactly physically exhausted, but mentally. She had spent hours of her day going from room to room with Chrysalis being introduced to the changelings and answering any and every question they had.

"Oh? Though we did and you actually got to meet my people, so was it a bad thing you met them all?" the Queen smirked as she walked with the exhausted Cadence. "It speaks of a ruler to actually meet their people, so I figured I'd make you look good as the new Princess."

"I understand, but you could have warned me" the changeling chuckled at the Princess's dismay.

"Yes but it wouldn't have been as fun seeing you fluster at their questions" Chrysalis teased once more. chrysalis had looked out one of the large decorative windows seeing it was indeed nighttime. "Though sadly my fun took up most of the day."

"I guess I'll be heading to bed then" Cadence turned to the window as well, though looked back to Chrysalis. The princess blushed as her new Queen was looking to her, looking right into her eyes. Without warning she felt her chin lifted by her hand and felt Chrysalis lean down and kiss her on the lips once more, blushing brightly as she kissed her the second time this day. It was shorter then the first though, but somehow sweeter to Cadence.

"Goodnight my bride, and rest well" the Queen then turned and walked to her own room provided to her. Cadence again stood there blushing as she registered the kiss, touching her lips with a blush.

"G-Goodnight..." she whispered and turned around herself starting to walk down the hall. As she did though, she stopped as she heard giggling and one of the doors to the changelings rooms opened. Walking out of the room was Princess Celestia with a changeling girl in each arm. "Auntie...really?" Celestia turned to Cadence and winked to her.

"You know I can't resist cuties like these girls" The Solar Monarch grinned as she walked with the girls to her own chambers, leaving Cadence behind to just roll her eyes.

The next day had arrived and Cadence prepared herself for a new day. She dressed herself comfortably and wore a royal outfit that was more flexible and practical. She smiled at her outfit choice and decided to go take on the day. Cadence had begun to walk down the hallway and began to walk past Luna's room until...

"GIVE US THY LOOT FROM THAT BOOTY!" Cadence just stopped as she heard the voice of her aunt, and knew she could just walk away.

"But then I'd have this nagging feeling of not knowing..." she sighed as she decided to take the chance and walk into her aunts room. "Aunt Luna? Is everything all right?" she asked stepping into her room.

"Ha Hah! Derpy did you see that?! Handsome Jack was no match for us!" Luna was sitting in front of her television with an Xbox 360 controller in her hand, and headset on her head. Luna turned to Cadence when she noticed her and smiled victoriously. "Yes Cadence! my new friend Derpy and I have beaten the challenge that is Handsome Jack in this videogame that is Borderlands 2!" Luna said proudly.

"It's not over yet Luna, there's more than just Handsome Jack!" a voice came from the television, and on screen a large creature appeared on screen appearing to be made of lava.

"By Celestia's beard! Derpy summon your ally Deathtrap! I'm going to see if I can phase blast that large lava monster! HAVE AT THEE!" Luna called out as she got back into her game.

"Um...who's Derpy? Is that who you're talking too?" Cadence asked genuinely curious.

"Yes! I met her when playing last night and we started back up playing this morning. I've set it up so her voice comes out of the TV when she talks. Derpy my niece Cadence is here! Say hi!"

"Hi there! Luna watch the tail!" Derpy called out and Luna's character seemed to be sent flying through the air.

"Cadence I'll talk to you later, right now Derpy and I must complete this game! NOW MAGMA MONSTER GIVE US THY LOOT FROM THAT BOOTY!" Luna called out again as she continued playing.

"O-O...k" Cadence said as she turned around and began to walk out.

"SWIGGITY SWOOGITY I'M COMING FOR THAT BOOTY!" Cadence heard Luna call out as she walked out of the room, just stopping to comprehend what had just happened with her aunt.

Cadence had headed into the kitchen and made her own breakfast, going back to the table to and sitting down to eat her meal.

"Good morning" a certain changeling called out as she sat down at the table with her, with her own plate of food that just consisted of vegetables.

"Oh um...morning" The princess looked up but went back to eating as Chrysalis sat down.

"Is it just me or did I hear your aunt earlier this morning say 'BEHOLD! LOOT FROM THE MAGMA BOOTY'?" Chrysalis asked raising an eyebrow.

"You probably did. Apparently she has picked up video games recently as a hobby" Cadence said as she began to eat her breakfast consisting of bacon and eggs.

"Videogames?" the changeling ask tilting her head.

"Yeah, they're games people can play on the television basically. I guess it's something changelings didn't have?" Cadence inquired, and Chrysalis smiled.

"Interesting, and no we didn't. A television was rare for us" Chrysalis smiled as she ate her salad. Cadence however was the curious one looking to Chrysalis.

"Um...didn't you eat yesterday with the love I provided? I-I'm just curious cause I remember changelings live off of love correct?" Cadence asked genuinely curious.

"Yes, but we can enjoy other things as well silly princess" Chrysalis teased. "We survive off of love but we can eat other things as well. We mostly have a diet of vegetables outside of love of course" Chrysalis answered as she ate.

"Oh, I didn't know..." Cadence went back to eating, though as she continued she felt more questions brimming and sighed giving in. "Chrysalis I know very little of the changeling race. And I know very little of you, yet I'm supposed to marry you. Can you tell me more about yourself and your people?" Chrysalis was honestly taken back, but smiled nodding her head.

"Anything for my cute blushing bride. So, what would you like to know?"

"Well, tell me about the changelings. How did you acquire love before?" Cadence began looking to Chrysalis.

"Well, changelings before would sneak into your lands and look for people in love. Young lovers were the best targets honestly. You see we changelings have an innate ability to sense love, and with your kind in love we can see of the two in a relationship, who has more love for the other" Chrysalis explained.

"Do you mean as in who is in more love with the other person?" Cadence asked.

"Yes, then we would take the place of the one who received more love from their partner and collect it. Usually we'd knock out and hide the person we take the place of" Chrysalis admitted. "Then after they collect a sufficient amount of love, we then leave to bring it back for the hive to harvest."

"And then spread out what you could among your people?" Chrysalis nodded. "Then what exactly caused the shortage of love in the first place?" Chrysalis sighed as she heard this question.

"YOur people caught on to us. They found new ways to sense if we were harvesting love from them. Not to mention some of the changelings were a bit more radical and killed those they replace" Chrysalis admitted. "This eventually lead to conflicts hundreds of years ago between your people and mine, eventually leading to us being forced to stay in the Badlands. What ultimately did it was the disease that killed our men" the Queen slowly went back to eating as Cadence looked to her.

"I-I'm sorry..."

"You didn't cause it, and there was nothing we could have done about it. What's past is past and now my concern is for the rest of my people who are still alive" the changeling said looking to Cadence. The Princess honestly felt a new admiration for Chrysalis, seeing she had a love and passion for her people.

"Chrysalis...tell me about you...I wanna know more about who you are." Chrysalis looked to the younger Princess and smiled.

"We could be here a while cutie" Chrysalis warned her.

"That's fine, I have the time" Cadence assured her. The queen looked to Cadence seeing she was determined to get to know her, so she relaxed and began her story.

"I became queen when I was 18 years old, six hundred years ago after my mother Queen Polymorph..."
