Top Secret

The next morning Rarity woke up to the smell of fresh pastries and tea. She sat up and yawned and was met with smiles from the princesses as the fragrance of the tea and pastries awoken the rest of her friends. “Good morning my little ponies,” Celestia greeted.

“We have brought you lunch,” Luna announced, “since you have all slept the morning away,”.

“We’re sorry Princess Luna,” Twilight said hoping they didn’t anger her.

“It’s fine Twilight, “Celestia said, “yesterday was a long day,”.

“The changelings are excited to see their ponysonas as soon as lunch is over,” Luna told Rarity.

“Oh of course!” Rarity said standing up, “I know they’ll just love them!”. The girls ate and talked as the little filly changeling chased Spike around. After lunch, Rarity set up a little picture display canvas and waited for everyone to sit around. “Which of you darlings would like to go first?” she asked. The changelings looked at each other for a few minutes before the male changeling raised his hoof.

“Excellent!” she said, “now I must admit you were a tough one to design, but once you discovered your talent ideas sparked,” She flipped to a page with a drawing of an earth pony stallion. “Now, I know what you all must be thinking. Why a black coat Rarity? It’s simple really, when one is in a sport black is just a suiting color. Especially for roller skating ponies. Now with a coat of dark colors you want the mane and tail to stick out a bit more. So after matching colors of endless shades I finally settled on orange with white streaking it. Now to make both coat and hair colors pop more I gave your pony self blue eyes.

Now to top it all off you need a cutie mark reflecting you’re amazing skills on wheels!” she stroke a pose as she pointed to his soon to be cutie mark, “what better to have then a roller skate!”.

“Do you think you can change into the pony she drew?” Celestia asked the changeling. He nodded and studied the picture closely. Closing his eyes as a green spark overtook him and he shifted into the pony on the paper.

“Darling you look amazing!” Rarity cheered as she pushed him to a mirror. He stared at his new self. His pony self.

“I like it,” he said with a smile.

“Oh good!” Rarity said hugging him, “now you go over to Twilight and she’ll help you come up with the perfect name,”. He nodded and walked to Twilight as Rarity walked back to her display canvas. “Who’s next?”. The female changeling smiled at her daughter as she walked forward.

“Ah, for you I had drawn many designs, but once you discovered your talent I had an amazing idea!” Rarity said as she flipped to a new drawing of an earth pony mare, “I decided to use colors matching fruits you use to make nectar,” she points to the mare she drew, “I choose a dark red apple coat, a banana blonde mane with grape purple streaks, and to top it all off light lemon yellow eyes. While choosing the colors the cutie mark came to me easily. A bowl of fruit!”. The changeling smiled and stared at her picture for a while. She stared at it so long Rarity was starting to think she didn’t like it until a green glow surrounded her as she transformed into the ponysona made for her.

“fabulous!” Rarity claimed as she showed the changeling her new pony form. She smiled as she spun around in front of the mirror.

“I like it,” she said, “thank you Miss Rarity,”.

“Oh no need to be so professional darling,” Rarity said as she hugged the changeling,”Rarity is just fine with me,”. She nodded.

“Now you head on over to Twilight and she’ll get you a name,” Rarity walked back to the canvas and smiled at the filly changeling, “I’ve saved the most adorable one for last,”. The filly changeling hid shyly from Rarity for a minute and looked at her parents. They nodded to her in encouragement and she walked toward Rarity.

“Now for you, my dear, I made sure to create nothing but perfection,” Rarity said as she flipped to another page, “this will soon be you little one,”. The little changeling looked at the picture. On it was a picture of an earth pony filly with a very dark red coat, Blonde and white mane and tail, and the same color of blue eyes as her daddy now had. What made her smile most was the pretty little green paper flower cutie mark on the pony.

“Oh good,” Rarity said with a huge smile, “I can tell by that smile you like it!”.

“I love it Rarity!” the filly said. She studied the picture and slowly shifted into it with a faint green spark and hugged Rarity.

“Aw, you are just too darling!” Rarity said petting the filly’s head, “now that my reveal of Rarity original ponysonas are done, let’s see what name is given to you,”. The filly giggled and ran over to Twilight as Rarity followed.

“Any luck with the names Twilight?” Celestia asked.

“Yes, “Twilight said closing a book in her magic, “I just figured out the female changeling’s name”.

“Well whatcha come up with?” Applejack asked as everypony gathered around.

“Will for you?” she pointed to the male changeling, “I needed to come up with something that matches your look and talent for roller skating,” Twilight explained, “So after studying a bit in some dictionaries I have I think I found the perfect name,”.

“Well, what is it?” Rainbow asked.

“Your new name is Velocity,” Twilight announced. He seemed confused by his new name. “It means speed,”. she told him. He smiled.

“I like it,” he said striking a pose like he was getting ready to race, “fastest earth pony on skates!”.

“And my name?” the female changeling asked.

“Well after taste testing your nectar some more I can’t find anything wrong with it at all,” Twilight said, “not one flaw,”.

“That's..good right?” she asked a little worried.

“It’s perfect,” Twilight said, “your name is now Flawless Nectar,”.

“Hmm I like it,” she smiled, “I think I even have a returning customer,”. they all giggled at that.

“What about me Princess Twilight?” the filly asked.

“For you I had already picked the name when you discovered your talent,”. Twilight informed her.

“Really?” she asked with big eyes.

“You like taking pretty colored paper and making amazing things out them,” Twilight said, “and you love art. You new name is Collage,”.

“OOOH! I have a pretty name!” the filly said giggling a little.

“It is a very good pick for a pony who is sure to love art,” Luna said.

“Well how about we all have lunch now that most of the hard work is done” Celestia suggested, “so we can go over the rest of the plan,”.

“Sounds fine to me,” Applejack said as everypony else agreed.

As the ponies ate lunch the princesses let everypony relax and talk for a bit as they ate. When she felt it was time Celestia cleared her throat.

“My little ponies, you have all worked so hard the past few days and I am so proud of the results of that hard work,” she started, “there is one more part to this plan and I’m sure it might be the hardest, but it must be done. Tomorrow morning Twilight and her friends will head home along with Agent Sweetie Drops. Then the next day the new ponies will move to ponyville.

I’ve already taken care of everything. A house is ready for you and I will make sure you have plenty of bits to help start you out. The issue that worries me is when you feed. Please, if you do feed don’t feed for too long so nopony suffers or becomes suspicious. Flawless, I have asked Pinkie and Applejack both to continue to help you learn how to cook just to be safe,”.

“Aw, we have to leave,” Pinkie said with a frown, “we’ve been having so much fun.”.

“Look at it this way darling,” Rarity chimed in, “you’ll get to plan a party to welcome the new family to Ponyville,”.

Pinkie squealed and jumped up in the air, “I LOVE WELCOMING NEW PONIES WITH A PARTY!”. Everypony laughed and finished their lunch.

That evening after everypony was asleep Celestia and Luna called a meeting with Sweetie Drops and Twilight.

“I know what I’ve tasked you with is strange and maybe even dangerous, but I’m so glad you’ve agreed to help. Now Sweetie Drops I’ve taken the job of making records for the changelings and a past history, just in case some ponies try to snoop around about them. Make them study all of this to be safe,”. She slipped a white folder to her.

“Will do Princess,”. she said taking the folder of information in her hooves.

“Twilight I’ve chosen a special task for you. I want you to study the changelings. Found out how the can shift like they do, how they feed off love. If they feed off other feelings, and even how they reproduce,”.

“Wow Princess Celestia,” Twilight said a little shocked, “do you think I’m the right pony for that job?”.

“If anypony is it is you Twilight,” Celestia said with that motherly smile that always made Twilight feel confident, “remember if anything goes wrong contact us immediately,”.

The next morning the girls said their goodbyes and headed out to head to the train station. “Wait!” Collage called running up to them, “I made gifts for my new friends,”. She smiled and handed the girls each a hoof made gift. They were paper crafted mini dolls that looked like them.

“What a darling little gift,” Rarity said as they thanked the filly with nuzzles and left.

“I’m gonna miss them,” Collage said frowning a little.

“No worries young one,” Luna said, “You’ll see them again very soon,”.
