Putting the Change in Changeling (Mature)

You wake up the next morning.

You give a quiet, adorable yawn as to sit up.

Your mind is a tad blank from last night, so you had forgotten that you slept in Chrysalis' room.

The fluffy blanket and the large figure next to you tipped you off, though.

You move the blankets some to inspect yourself.

Wet... Again. But by now, you're already used to it.

You had a dream about Luna last night... Almost like she was searching for you.

But your mind kept feeling fuzzy... You shrugged it off as your subconscious trying to mess with you.

Chrysalis stirs next to you, rolling over toward you quietly.

"Good morning, little Annie. Sleep well?"

You nod slightly.

Chrysalis giggles some before giving you a light raspberry on your exposed stomach.

You didn't even notice that your onesie was off... But you coat's color certainly did get much darker.

"Did little Annie have a bad dream?"

You go to respond, but stop before saying anything.

"How did you know?"

She gives off another soft giggle.

"You tossed and turned a lot. Common for little ones with nightmares."

"...Oh."

You look down at the blankets quietly before yawning again.

Chrysalis stretches before picking you up and going through your morning routine.

Changing, playing, feeding. That's how it went now.

Still, you enjoyed the time you two had together.

Chrysalis took you out of the room and sat you on your little princess throne.

It even had your name written on it.

You tilted your head back to try and read it...

But silly you, you're reading it upside down!

Chrysalis takes her own seat and watches as you struggle to read your own upside down name.

"It says Annie. I had it done just for you."

She gently pats your head, which entices a giggle from you.

"Oh, right. Silly me."

You give the widest smile as you drink away from your bottle.

Chrysalis gave her usual morning speech.

You idly sat there and looked around at the crowd.

They all seemed so ecstatic and energetic today...

Was this your doing? Did you have the power to do this?

You looked up at Chrysalis.

Even she radiated with energy.

Before, when you first came here, she seemed to snarl and be more threatening when she gave her speeches.

But today, she seemed lively and happy.

Just the thought of that made you smile brightly.

Some of the Changelings in the front row couldn't help but point at you and smile.

Chrysalis finished her speech and waved the crowd off.

The majority of them dispersed, some of them going outside and some staying inside.

You wondered what she meant by "scouting."

Sighing softly, Chrysalis looks over at you.

"Now that the speech is out of the way... How about we do something fun, Annie?"

She holds you in the air with her magic and extends your new wings.

Wait, wings? When did they...?

You remember feeling something off on your back this morning, but didn't expect it to be wings.

You look a bit surprised.

"What do you have in mind, mommy?"

The Queen gives you a sly grin.

"Potty training?"

Your eyes widen and jaw drops open.

"No! I don't wanna! Lemme go..!"

You struggled and struggled, but couldn't break free of the magical grip.

Chrysalis merely chuckles and nuzzles you.

"I'm just kidding. How about we teach you to fly?"

Flying... One thing you were never able to do.

That, and magic.

Still, you nodded.

"O-okay.."

Chrysalis carries you out to the open field you saw earlier in the week.

It was much prettier in person.

She sets you down.

"I'm sure you've seen us... And Pegasi flying, no?"

"Yeah, tons of times."

"Well, it isn't as easy as it seems, little Annie."

You stand up a bit shakily, but attempt to balance yourself.

Chrysalis flutters her wings a bit.

"Try moving your wings some. See if you can control them."

You look back at one and concentrate.

You keep trying and trying...

BLORT.

Your face scrunches up a bit.

"I uh..."

You look about ready to cry from embarrassment.

Chrysalis clicked her tongue and sat down in front of you.

"Aww... What's the matter, Annie? Had an accident?"

Out of instinct, you waddled to her and hugged her tightly with your tiny foal hooves.

"Uh huh..."

Chrysalis smiled warmly and stroked your mane.

"It's alright little princess. Things happen. You just..."

She paused to chuckle some at the thought.

"You just need to get used to controlling your new body, is all."

You look up at her, tears still flowing a bit.

"...Really?"

She nods and kisses your forehead.

"Really. Why don't we give it another go?"

You nod a bit.

All that afternoon, the two of you kept practicing wing control and flight.

You weren't exactly good at it... But you eventually figured out how to flutter your wings.

Chrysalis seemed very pleased that you learned so fast.

"Look, mommy! I can do it too!"

You run around her, flapping your wings some.

You pretended that you were an airplane.

Chysalis giggled some.

"Careful now, or you might fly away!"

She flapped her own wings, floating off the ground some.

You stopped and looked at her as she idly flew around.

"Woooow.. I wish I could do that..."

You looked down at the ground, sulking a bit.

Chrysalis stopped in front of you, landing on the grass softly.

"You will hun.. It just takes a lot of practice, is all."

She picks you up gently and holds you in her hooves.

"You're just saying that. I bet you did it on the first try!"

The comment made her laugh some.

"Actually, no! I took me weeks before I could fly! I was the worst of my generation, even with a private instructor!"

You looked at her quietly as she went on.

"I had such a hard time trying to fly that I almost gave up. Even my mother was worried that I wouldn't be able to do it."

She looked out at the setting sun.

You followed her gaze and marveled at the sight.

Chrysalis grew silent as she went into deep thought.

You two simply shared the moment for the time being. You felt really connected with her.
