A Changing Story
Abby
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe two fillies walked slowly into the room, Cadance surrounded by fear, and Love Note, well you couldn't tell what she was feeling.
"I, Blacklight Spark, encourage the changeling council to go for order on this cooperation." Blacklight said, fiercely.
"Fillies, step forward," She said, then marched up some stairs that led to a throne.
"This is how it works, we say a question and you answer it. If we like, or agree with the answer, you will get a point. Understand?" She asked. The two fillies nodded, followed with a gulp by Cadance.
"Then, when it is over, whomever wins, gets to make the decision to leave or stay." Love Note stayed silent, but Cadance gasped, she knew she was most likely to fail, and decided to take it upon herself to at least try.
"First question, what is your favorite color?" She asked pointing to cadence.
"Uh, blue?" Then Blacklight pointed to Love Note.
"Green." A loud ding echoed through the cavern, at they scratched a line under a big 'R'. The letter beside it was 'L'. Cadance guessed it meant Right and Left, and sense Love Note was on the right, she realized she had gotten the point. Love Note's favorite color wasn't green! It was blue also!
"Next, what are your hobbies?"
"Writing and playing video games?" cadence answered once more.
"Writing and plotting, thinking a lot, being sneaky." Love Note said dully. Another ding, and another line under 'R'.
"What kind of friends do you want?"
"Kind, happy, and generous." Cadance smiled.
"Loyal, honest to only me, powerful, but not more powerful than me. But honestly, in my opinion, none." Cadance's sibling said, and another ring went off, as a line was placed again under 'R'.
"What kind of friends do you have?"
"Same kind I want, which means I don't really need any new friends." cadence complimented her friends, then looking to Love Note.
"None. I have no friends, they tend to betray you, lie to you, and constantly think they're better than you." Cadance raised an eyebrow.
That wasn't true, if anything she was the most popular girl in school.
"Final question, what do you wish your changeling names to be?" Cadance gulped and thought for a bit, she remembered how Love Note had been reading about mythical creatures, and was on the chapter of changelings. That must have been why she was getting so many points, she knew what they liked! Then she remembered, they like names that sound like they mean something, even if they don't. She also remembered reading about ancient times, in Egypt. How a ruler was a pharaoh. How about the alphabet, it always helped her when she was making names.
"Something like that, err A,B-" She thought but then was cut off.
'If you don't answer quickly, we will move on!" Blacklight screamed.
"Aborah!" Cadence yelled. All the changeling gasped with her quick response. Love Note was shicked. She was going to call herself 'Phara', but it sounded too much like her sibling's name, and she panicked.
"Phara!" A loud ding ran over the cave, and a line was placed under the 'L'.
"Although the left just now got a point, The right has more, and gets to make the decision." Blacklight said calmly. Love Note's eyes popped open and she stood up from the ground that she was laying on.
"Sis... what are we gona-" Cadance started.
"I, Queen Phara, my new title, banish you from the changeling quarters forever!" Love Note yelled. Love Note stared at her sister in disbelief.
"B-but sis, w-why?" Cadance asked in confusion.
"It's all your fault! You wanted to go outside, when I said we shouldn't, I would still have a good life, had it not been for you!" Love Note shouted back.
"What are you talking about? I'm gona be like this the rest of my life as well!" Cadance replied.
"Don't you dare talk back to me!" Love Note shouted again.
"Sister, please.." Cadance pleaded, running to her sisters hooves, lying on the floor. "I beg of you."
"Get out!" Love Note screamed, lifting her sibling up with her magic onto her four hooves, and using a magic blast, causing her to fly out the cave.
"It's all your fault..." Love Note mumbled, and turned walking back deeper inside the hive facing Blacklight.
"Get off my throne!"
Outside, Cadance sobbed, lifting herself up and walking away.
'I'm sorry sister... I'm so sorry."

Cadance awoke underneath a blue blossom tree, and was greeted by a white coated mare.
"Hello!" She said, smiling. Cadance gasped, flinging up, and slamming her head against a tree branch.
"Ow!" She complained,rubbing her head. The white mare beside her gasped, trying to help her up.
"What happened?" She said, staring into the changeling's eyes.
"My sister- she-I, ugh, my head..." Cadance replied, frowning.
"What's your name?" She asked, lifting Cadance up. Cadance thought for a bit, remembering suddenly her 'changeling' name.
"Aborah." Cadance said swiftly. The mare next to her smiled.
"Mine's Celestia, but please don't tell anyone, just call me Tia, like a nickname!" Cadance frowned. She had read her dad's newspaper a week ago, saying Celestia was soon to be the all- ruler of Equestria, then her sister's time would come, and Celestia would share the throne. But it couldn't be the same pony could it? Her wavy pink mane sparkled, but she tried to push it down. There was brown cloak over her, and if she was Celestia, it covered her wings.
"Okay, if you are the all time ruler of Equestria-"
"Almost. Not yet." Celestia interrupted, sadly looking to the ground.
"Right- but still, how do ponies not recognize you?" Celestia chuckled.
"A spell. Everyone thinks I'm shorter than I am, and my hair is different, different shaped eyes, everything, all I had to do was pick the features I want then the spell creates it. I can change back whenever I want, but it's for all ponies, so how can you see me? I mean I guess, you're not technically a pony, but still." Celestia explained, making a confused face at the end sentences.
"I don't know, but about the nickname thing, can I have one?" Cadance asked nicely.
"Sure! How about, umm, Aborah, Aborah, Abor, Ab, uh, Abby?!" Celestia exclaimed and Cadance nodded.
"It's perfect."
