A Changing Story

Twilight pranced around her castle humming a small tune. The same tune from when her friends defeated Tirek, a terrible centaur who stole the magic from countless innocent ponies, including the reformed Discord."Let the Rainbow remind you.." Her friends and herself were grateful for his defeat, for it was a shock for they didn't have the elements. But Twilight had been right, it was their friendship that kept them connected.

However, this was one of the biggest days of the years, although she was not her student, Twilight was about to write a Happy Birthday letter to Celestia. The small rainbow-colored flower was wrapped in the box. Twilight slowly opened it to make sure it was there. A small letter, a flower the color of all her friends coats. Finally a picture of Celestia and Twilight. The unicorn was a young filly and and the picture showed how she had tried to bake a cake for her dear teacher. She succeeded, but only by following the directions and destroying half of the kitchen. However, she was a good baker to this day having lessons from Pinkie Pie and Applejack.

"Spike!" The mare yelled.

"Spike I need you to send something to the Princess!" She read over the letter one last time.

Dear Princess Celestia,

I just wanted to wish you a Happy birthday, I have no idea how old you are, but they always say never ask a mare their age! This is just something I found in my old pictures. The flower is from my garden. Fluttershy taught me how to grow flowers with specific colors! Isn't it cool! It's kinda just like the ones that Discord gave you. Wink* Wink* Anyway, if you are not doing anything this afternoon, which I'm sure you are, would do like to go to lunch with me? Also if Luna wants to tag along that'd be great! However, I'll wait for your response.

Sincerely,

Twilight Sparkle.

Twilight sighed and continued looking for Spike. "I could try the sending spell, but I've tried it before, and never knew where it went," The alicorn strode back to her bedroom. Of course, there was a letter right next to her bed, from Princess Celestia. It read,

Dear Twilight

I know it is on short notice but I need you to check on the changeling Queen. I know the history on most of our villains like discord or sombra but Chrysalis I know nothing about? I'm busy with preparations for all sorts of activities and I could think of no ponies more qualified than the very own elements of harmony, and maybe you six can reform the queen.

With Luck,

Princess Celestia.

Twilight and her friends trotted towards the rotted castle where Queen Chrysalis had been defeated. Twilight slowly walked towards the small slot in the door.

"Queen Chrysalis?"

A weak and fragile voice responded, "Twilight..." The others peeked through the hole as well.

"Hugh! She looks absolutely hideous!" Rarity screamed.

"Thank you for noticing." Chrysalis replied.

"Uhh, sorry, she just is um really,"

"Strange." Chrysalis completed the sentence for Twilight.

"That's one way to put it." The purple alicorn replied.

"Um, bad question. But are you okay?" Rainbow Dash asked as her sky blue wings folded against her back when she landed.

"I have put all my changelings in hibernation. To make sure they get energy." The dire Queen told them.

"Yeah, that may be true but why aren't ya Hibernatin'?" Applejack asked. Chrysalis sighed.

"You never know what will happen in Equestria. One day a jealous sister tries to put the land in Eternal night. Another a jumble of animal parts and chaos tries to put everything in disharmony. Then a shadow like pony enslaves an entire empire, the next a magic absorber monster tries to take all the magic in Equestria. Why shouldn't I be awake?! There might be a day where you can't defeat your enemy, what then? What does that mean for my children? They must sleep, and I, as their queen, must be alert in case of an emergency." The ponies sighed she had a point.

"Well, that is true but what about you? What's your story?" The Queen just grunted to Twilight's response.

"Yeah, like we know you tried to take over equestria with your changelings but then cadence stopped you, no wait shining armor did too, what's sad is that it wasn't us, but what's really sad is that they had to save equestria on their wedding day!"

"PINKIE!" The five mares screamed. Pinkie simply shrugged and turned to Chrysalis.

" You know Sparkie is right! It would be cool to know how and why you tried to take over Canterlot!"

"Sparkie! What kind of name is that!" Twilight yelled. Pinkie was obviously giving her a nickname because of her last name 'Sparkle'. Queen Chrysalis sighed.

"Go ask Celestia."

"Celestia? What does she have to do with it? " The marshmallow unicorn asked.

"Let's just say, she thought be look, and not by soul." Twilight frowned.

"I'll ask her then."

Twilight pulled a scroll out of her saddlebag along with a quill.

"Dear Princess Celestia," She started.

"The subject is not something you can talk over a letter." Queen Chrysalis interrupted.

"The Princess sent my friends and I here for precaution, and for some reason ask your history."

"You go ask Celestia and if she doesn't know I'll will happily tell you how she ruined my life." The Queen scowled. Twilight turned without response and trotted back to the carriage her friends and herself had rode in to get there. Twilight lifted her saddlebag into the carriage . The bag was immediately surrounded by a pink-magenta aurora and landed inside. The lavender alicorn sat in the carriage. Her other five friends followed behind her confused looks on their faces. They sat down with her and the two guard stallions took off. But as soon as they were in the air, Queen Chrysalis smirked.
