Love is for the weak

"Garnet i am leaving" Said the Changeling transforming himselft into a bat pony with the famous dark armor, the transformation turn off 2 seconds later, the changeling was with an annoyed look, it was the fifth time in the week, he wanted to know why his changeling magic is starting to fail.

"That again!, Opal are you ok?!" Asked Garnet the beatiful unicorn mare concerned for her guest, she took care of him after she found him almost dead and shivering on the everfree forest while she was collecting poison joke flowers to study them.

"Well, one more try should do it" The changeling covered himselft in magic, the result was a failure again, the transformation kept the form until the fake armor appeared, then in less than 2 seconds the transformation dissipates again.

"I think you should stay here, you know just in case" Garnet was thinking about the fact that the changeling doesnt like love, maybe love is like a fuel to their magic and she is willing to give him some love, if the changeling is too stubborn to realize that he needs love she will take more drastic maneuvers.

"but-"

"Opal your transforming spell isnt working, if that happens near a guard you will be surely imprisoned"

"whatever Garnet i will go to slee-" Opal passed out, Garnet carried him with her magic, to the guest room on the second floor of the house.

Flashback

Wait just a sec 769, are you saying that you dont eat love?

Yup 565, is cause of love that our hive is starving, you dont get it HATE is the future

Yeah yeah whatever, lets get this job over with

Flashback End

"Opal!, Opal!, wake up!" Garnet was moving him like a ragdoll all over the room with her magic.

"Garnet!" Opal screamed while being moved around, Garnet looked at him, smiled and released him in the middle of the air over his bed, Opal scratched his head and looked at Garnet.

"No need for being rought you little mare, you know that i am the one who is rought on the bed" Said Opal with a smirk and a joking tone.

Garnet blushed a little "Rule #6 you pervert, no sexual insinuations".

"Aww, how uncool of you Garnet, i thought that you were keeping me to investigate changelings, that includes reproduction of course, ok i will take the first step" The changeling smiled and covered Garnet in his magic, but soon the magic dissapeared again,  Opal looked again at Garnet, she was very angry "just joking, Garnet dont look at me like that."

Garnet took a broom with her magic and used its stick to hit Opal on his head.

Thank you Garnet, a little teasing is enought to take some hate from you, but next time dont get THAT upset said Opal to himselft.

"and Opal, At least invite me to a date or something" said Garnet lowering her tone, she once again tried to get Opals attention, but he fell asleep again. Garnet was frustrated, she wants to make her report about changeling behavior but she got the most lazy changeling to study.

Well while he is asleep i may can study his failing magic thought Garnet bringing some of her equipment to the room with her magic. Ok lets put this here, and this there,hmm... there you go.

The changeling was all full with cables and strange things, Garnet tried to not wake him up. badluk again.

"Garnet... what are you doing?"

"Sorry Opal but i need to study you one way or another... Can you use your shapeshifting spell again?"

*nod*, the changeling covered himselft in in magic for the third time, but this time all the magic when back to his horn in a rought way, Opal felt a strong headache, then heard whispers on his head, the voice was surely the voice of his Queen.

So you are the rogue one, i presume?

"Queen? what are you doing in my head?" said the changeling, ignoring what Garnet was saying to him.

You know how this works my little rogue, i can command any of my drones, thats why i am the Queen

"I am not obeying your command Queen"

You will do... 769, sorry for cut this short, but i have an invation to plan

The headache dissapeared, an ilusion? or something else, the changeling couldnt say if he was daydreaming or that conversation with the Queen actually happened, it almost felt like he was in the Hive again talking face to face with the Queen, but he looked around and he was still in Garnets home.

"Opal, i think that you better get some lov-" Said Garnet before being interrupted by the agry stare of Opal.

"that is not going to happen Garnet"

"but the readings, Opal you dont understand, you are dying, your magic is like the unicorn magic, needs some fuel, i can tell that yours is love, and if you keep like that your own magic is going to harm you" Said Garnet placing her hoof in the cheek of Opal, her eyes starting to tear.

"Garnet dont cry, you know that i will never eat love, but now you seem more... eh... weak, than i when i first met you"
