Putting the Change in Changeling (Mature)
Day 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterDay two.
You roll onto your back and yawn.
Out of habit you rub your eyes clean of sleep.
Wait a second, did you just..?
You looked at all four of your hooves.
They were no longer bound by that goop.
Had it worn off? Or was that just a nightmare from eating bad food?
you move the blanket off of yourself.
Nope, still in that Changeling get-up..
And you felt something... Different between your legs.
What was that feeling...?
You hear a yawn as Chrysalis opened the door.
"Oh, look who's up bright and early. Good morning, sweetie."
She walks over to the bed, smiling softly.
You don't really feel scared of her anymore. Not after yesterday.
Though you still didn't quite feel this entire situation was right...
Chrysalis' smile was quickly replaced by one of near mortification as she holds a hoof up to her nose.
"Good lord, Annie! You really stink!"
You bite you lower lip in embarrassment.
Was that feeling what you thought it was..? Did you...?
"I think we'd best get you cleaned up. Guck."
Even Chrysalis gagged on it a bit before giggling.
Chrysalis gathered some supplies and a new onesie for you before taking you to their bathing pool.
There was a larger one for the general Changeling population, a smaller one for the Queen herself, and a tiny one beside it for the Queen's heiress.
You couldn't explain the feeling, but your body felt a bit more strange than yesterday.
Mostly your head and rump...
"In spite of your... Situation, Annie.. I must say you are looking very pretty."
You couldn't help but smile meekly at the compliment.
"You um... You're very pretty too."
Did you just say that?
Where did that even come from?
Chrysalis chuckles.
"Why thank you, little one."
She gently sits you down before levitating some towels over to the supplies.
This room felt very warm...
Was it a natural hot spring?
"Now, then.. Stay still."
Chrysalis stands in front of you, helping you take the onesie off.
She purposely left it covering your head.
"Where did Annie go?"
You chuckle softly and shrug.
Why the hell are you so playful today?
She takes it off of you completely before blowing onto your stomach.
The action made you go into a giggle fit.
"H-hey..! Staaahp..!"
Chrysalis does it once more.
You can't help but flail a bit.
She backs off some to catch her breath.
"I suppose you're ready for the bath now."
You nod slowly.
"Please, this is getting a bit.. uncomfortable."
Chrysalis carefully removes the used garment and wipes you clean.
As you expected... You did fill it with your waste overnight.
Just seeing the used garment made you feel absolutely humiliated...
At least no one else you know can see this.
Chrysalis holds you over the pool.
To your surprise your mane and tail have changed.
The once short, black hair is now long and light blue; almost transparent.
Your jaw just drops open.
"What's the matter? Do you not like your new look?"
Chrysalis seems a bit hurt about it.
You decide to swallow your pride before she swallows you.
"N-No... I just... Confused about it. I.. This is new to me."
She stills seems a bit skeptical about your statement, but puts you in the pool of water.
"Well.. If you say so."
She slips into her own pool.
The water is pleasantly warm.
Feels like a hot tub, minus the jets.
You sink down into the water as it relaxes your tensed muscles.
You feel your mind getting clearer.
Chrysalis giggles as she sends some bath toys floating through the pool.
"What are these for?"
"For you to enjoy yourself, silly."
She takes one of the toys that looks like a cup and uses it to douse your mane.
You seemed almost oblivious to what she was doing.
Bath time lasted for a good twenty minutes before you were taken out and dried off.
Your mane and tail were a mess...
Chrysalis took her time in rediapering you and fitting you into the fresh clothing.
She even sat there and took her time to brush your hair!
You never really got to experience that as a kid...
Back on Earth your parents barely did much to raise you, only the necessities.
Food, clothing, shelter. That's it.
Never paid any attention to you. Never showed any affection. Never said "I'm proud of you."
You began to tear up at the memories as the flooded into your head.
Chrysalis picked up on your feelings.
"What's wrong? Am I pulling too hard?"
You shake your head a bit.
"No.. I just... It's just some bad memories from a long time ago."
Chrysalis finished brushing your hair before holding you in a warm, loving embrace.
"It'll be okay Annie.. They won't hurt you anymore. Not while you're here."
You look up at her.
"...Promise?"
She nods.
"Promise."
You feel yourself starting to get attached to her.
The hug lasts for a moment until she breaks it.
"Come on now, Princess. We gotta go and watch over the others."
You nod once in understanding.
Today, Chrysalis let you sit on the back of her neck while she delivered her speech.
Some of the Changelings couldn't help but be distracted by you playing with Chrysalis' crown.
Chrysalis looks at them with a burning fury.
"Is something about this funny, Bob!?"
He points up to you.
Apparently, through all her hair, she couldn't feel you messing with the crown.
She looks up at you and chuckles softly.
"Come on now sweetie. Mommy is trying to do big girl things. Please behave?"
You pout a bit.
"Fiiiiine."
"We can play later."
You puff your cheeks out.
Chrysalis finished her speech as the swarm went back to their duties.
She carefully moved from her spot on the throne, causing you to slide down her back and stop between her wings.
"Now then, missy..."
Chrysalis sets you down on the ground.
For the first time in a day and a half, you get to walk on your own.
"I trust you to not run off..."
She takes a step back and waits to see what you do.
You take a few steps before tripping over yourself.
The padding between your back legs makes it hard to walk as well...
But oddly, you seemed to be enjoying it.
Chrysalis picks you up after laughing heartily a bit.
"Looks like you still can't walk yet. That's quite alright.."
She puts you back up on her neck as she takes you to another part of the hive.
It looks to be another playroom with a balcony outside of a door.
Just like the other room, it was vibrantly colored.
"This was my room when I was your age."
Your age? Doesn't she know that--- Wait, does she mean..?
You wriggle a bit to make yourself comfortable.
"Some of my old things are still in here."
She opens up a large chest.
Inside was the largest abundance of toys you've seen...
At least, that wasn't in a toy store.
Your eyes glimmered at the sight.
Chrysalis takes note at your bewildered expression, taking a ball out.
It was no bigger than the average soccer ball.
Using her magic, she floats you over to a spot on the floor and faces you with it.
"My mother used to play with me using this ball."
She rolls it over to you.
The ball is very shiny and green.. Almost like a laminated egg.
You even caught your reflection inside of it.
You roll the ball back to her quietly.
She smiles as she continues on with her memory rambling.
"I always loved my mother... She cared for us all. She always told me nothing could replace a mother's love."
You listened to her words.
The two of you roll the ball back and forth to one another.
"I always wondered what it would be like to share that motherly love... But it was reserved for the heiresses only... So I never got a chance."
She takes a breath as she begins to shake.
The book had described her as a fearsome being...
A being that only cared for herself, and fed on the love of other beings...
Yet, here she was.. Openly pouring her heart out to you.
Was there something else?
"So why don't you share it with the males of the species?"
Chrysalis sighs softly.
When the ball rolls to her she doesn't even respond to it. It just... Bounces off.
"It's a rule of the swarm... Males are hardened to protect and serve the royal females."
You look at the ball roll away.
You decide now would probably be a good time to ask some questions of your own.
"That sciencey-looking Changeling uh... Bill was it?"
She looks at you and nods.
"...What's his deal? He... Looks like he doesn't fit."
"Bill.. Is an odd changeling. He actually didn't really change that much when he was assimilated into the swarm."
Assimilated? You began to piece the puzzle together.
"How did you assimilate him? Same way as you're uh... Doing to me..?"
Chrysalis shook her head and chuckled.
"No, actually... He came to us of his own free will. It took him some time... But him and his crew discovered a way to change Equines into Changelings."
You look down in thought.
"So that explains why they never came back..."
Chrysalis tilts her head.
"Excuse me?"
You jump a bit from her sudden tone shift.
"O-oh nothing! I just... found some things about the Changelings while I was in the Canterlot Library and... It mentioned the missing scientists..."
She looks at you questioningly.
"I... actually was wanting to know more about the swarm, myself... Which is why I came here but..."
"What else does that book say?"
She sounds rather threatening.
"It talked about your invasion... And how you were a selfish, fearsome terror... And how you only wanted to feed off of others' love..."
Chrysalis closed her eyes solemnly.
"Is... Is that was this whole thing is about? With me? Just to feed your swarm?"
She stands up and walks out onto the balcony.
There is a beautiful sight of flowery fields.
You followed her outside.
There seems to be a gentle breeze on this side of the mountains...
You sit down by Chrysalis' side.
"...Queen?"
She sighs softly.
"..It was at first, but..."
You fold your ears down a bit.
Just like before, you were just being used for others' gain...
"...I'm not so sure any more."
You look up at her with your head tilted.
"Now I think there is something more... I mean, it will still feed my swarm, but... I don't know. I can't explain this."
She shakes her head, clearly distraught by your question.
You look out at the field of flowers.
"...And that bottle you fed me..."
"...Bill put the formula in it. Mixed with regular milk from cows..."
"..."
You didn't respond.
Chrysalis seems to be showing a much more softer side than you thought she had.
She sits down quietly.
You can see tears dropping from her eyes as they hit the balcony.
Is she... Crying?
"I... It feels like whichever way I turn I can't stop from making mistakes..."
You listen to her words as they echo in your head.
You felt the same way back on Earth...
Everything was a shit hole back there.
No one really liked you.
You practically raised yourself.
You never had the support needed to take pride in yourself and what you did...
Instinctively, you wriggled your way under her forelegs and look up at her as she continues to cry.
You can't help but feel bad for her..
Quietly you just wrap your hooves around her in a hug.
Chrysalis seems to be taken aback by your sudden affection.
She lowers her head down to you and returns the hug.
"...Please don't be sad, Queenie..."
She chuckles softly between soft sobs.
"...Thank you, little one..."
You got to know a side of Chrysalis that was previously never thought to have existed...
You're starting to really bond with her.
You begin to feel a fuzzy warmth inside of you that you never felt before.
Your stomach growls lightly while you two share the moment.
Chrysalis chuckles at you softly.
."Sounds like my little Annie is due for some food, no?"
You nod slightly.
"Yeah.. It... It sounds like a nice idea."
Chrysalis picks you up and carries you back into your room.
Gently, she sits you in the high chair once more, this time the table a bit more loose so you can move a bit.
She gets another one of those bottles and floats it into your mouth.
Unlike yesterday, you just drink it down without any fuss.
The taste of it wasn't too bad...
Really being able to taste it, it was almost like a mix of chocolate milk and white milk.
Chrysalis left the room to clean the other play room.
Bill stepped in to take a look at you.
You weren't very comfortable with another Changeling examining you...
"Hmm.. How interesting. They should have changed by now..."
You give him a questionable look.
"What are you even talking about?"
"Oh! You're actually sentient now! Well, that's an interesting revelation..."
He seems to write something down on a clipboard.
After you finish the bottle you decide to throw it at him.
The sudden impact made him drop the clipboard.
"Why you little...!"
You laugh at him as Chrysalis walks in.
"Annie, that wasn't very nice."
"But he just..."
"I know... But say you're sorry. Changelings don't hurt each other."
You pout again.
"...Sorry..."
He rubs his head and picks up his papers.
"You are forgiven..."
Chrysalis motions to him as they step outside, closing the door.
"Why are you looking at her like that? Is something wrong?"
He coughs a bit.
"Well, it looks like either the formula is taking longer to take effect... Or something is stopping it from working."
Chrysalis thought for a moment.
"Well, we'll see how she is tomorrow."
He nods and bows.
"As you wish, your majesty."
Chrysalis walks back into the room and takes you out of the chair.
"Was that good, Annie?"
She begins to burp you like a child.
You burp involuntarily.
"It was actually kinda tasty."
She smiles.
"I'm glad that you think so..."
Chrysalis looked out of the door's window to the upper hive caverns.
She sighs, almost sadly so.
"Looks like it is about time to put you down for a nap, dear."
You give a soft "Aww."
"But I'm not..."
You pause to yawn.
"...Sleepy."
Chrysalis chuckled softly.
"I know, little Annie. but even Princesses need their sleep."
You pout cutely.
"Fine..."
Chrysalis giggled at you softly before lightly booping your nose.
You cover your nose with your hooves.
"Hey!"
Next Chapter"Gotcha~"
Gently she lays you back in your bed.
Bars up, lights out, she leaves you to rest.
Chrysalis laid on her bed in her own room.
She gave a soft sigh as a knock came her door.
"Enter."
A rather important looking Changeling stepped into the room.
"Ah... Chancellor. What can I do for you?"
"Well my Queen... You seem to be acting differently than normal. Is something bothering you?"
She put her head down in her cheese-like legs.
"..It's complicated."
He sat on a cushion.
"We have time, young Queen..."
"I just... I don't know about Annie anymore. I don't know if what I'm doing is right..."
"You're questioning your role to the swarm?"
Chrysalis shook her head.
"No, not that... I mean what I'm doing with her... I don't think it is just about the swarm anymore."
He nodded slowly.
"You're getting attached to them, aren't you?"
"Me? I...."
She looks down at where you hugged her.
"...Perhaps I might be."
He chuckled softly.
"Sounds like you have part of your mother inside of you after all."
Chrysalis smiled softly at the comment.
"Just do as your heart pleases, my Queen. It will guide you."
"Yeah... Thanks, Chancellor."
The Changeling bowed to her before exiting the room.
Chrysalis rolled onto her back.
She smiled softly again.
"You dumb, adorable pony..."
