When Villain Win
Sunbathing
Previous ChapterThe next morning, when Luna watched her moon go down, she saw Celestia's come up. The only odd thing was it was moving like it was being controlled by a drunk pony. Confused, Luna went to Celestia's veiwing room and began talking as she walked in. "Hey, Tia! Why is your sun control off today? Such a crooked movement..."
Instead of Celestia, Chrysalis turned around.
"S-Sorry, it's my first time..." Chrysalis stammered.
YOU!? Where's my sister?!"
Chrysalis thought back. Celestia was still sleeping when she woke up. "Sorry, I couldn't wake her up."
"But how did you raise the sun?" Luna asked.
Chrysalis showed her a book. It had a sun symbol on the front, and it said, "How to raise the sun" below it was a fancy lettering that said 'Faust' "I've used a manual I found in the drawer." Chrysalis said blankly.
Luna's eyes bulged. Mothers book?! She thought in confusion. As they trotted along the corridor, Luna asked, "But how did you get into 'Tia's room in the first place?"
Chrysalis looked up at the ceiling, trying to remember, and said, "I don't know. When I woke up, Celestia was already sleeping in my hooves. I drank some apple juice(?) last night and can't really recall what happened after."
Luna realized what "apple juice she drank. "Wait a minute! How many mugs did you have?"
"Hmm about...twelve?"
As they walked around the hall, Luna saw Chrysalis walking in a swerve pattern, stumbling a bit. I guess I know why your control over the sun is off then. And it's not because it's your first time. "Wait, you're leaving? Now?" Luna asked once they reached the front and she saw all of the changelings. "But...why not wait until Celestia wakes up?
Chrysalis sighed. "If she wakes up, she'll think of yet another reason to keep me here. I have a kingdom to rule, subjects to feed, and frankly, I have no idea what's the situation in there. Since I brought most of my forces here, I only left a small brigade of monster hunters to fend off the southern dragons off." She looked at her ponies.
Meanwhile, Applejack and Chang were talking. "We shall meet again, right?"
Chang hung his head. He knew this was going to come. "No, we shall not. We will disappear into the shadows again. Disguise as one of your own, gather love and protect you from harm. You will never see us like this again, for disguise is our second nature."
Applejack had a few tears in her eyes. She didn't want to cry, but she wanted to remember Chang. She took of her mane-band that always kept her mane and style and said, "If that's how it has to be...Then please accept this mane-band." She put it in his hooves. "Keep it and remember its owner, who fell in love with you." And with that, she ran off in a zigzag way yet again.
"Pony! WAIT!" Change called, but too late:she was gone.
Back where Luna and Chrysalis were, Luna asked, "Err...Can I ask you something? some watchers are curious about it. Why did you heal injured ponies and repaired our city instead of killing us or making us your slaves?"
Chrysalis shut one eye in thought and said, "You know, for Changelings, you're like cows to us."
"Cows?!"
"Just like ponies get milk from cows, so do Changelings get love from ponies. When they are sick, you take care of your cows. And when they're in anger, you protect them. This is why some of us became soldiers, doctors, and scientists. To create, to take care of you, to protect you. To give you a better way of life." She smiled "For another question. We aren't trying to dominate you or making you into our slaves. Letting you live free grants more love. And tastier too! Such approach saves us labour, time, and resources!" The changelings began to flutter their wings, and Chrysalis shouted over the noise, And now, I bid you farewell!" They flew away, and Luna had a shocked expression on her face.
*On that day, Ponies remembered the dread that was living under their rule.
