The Adventures of Princess Althea

After her bath, Althea felt even more homesick. She thought about the warm baths she took as a Fanatian and how the steam would twirl and take different forms. She got that thought out of her head.

"Althea?" Someone called in a manly voice. "Come out of there!"

"Um. Ok!" Althea called, opening up her door. She walked out and saw a pony she has never seen before. He had a white coat like hers but with dark brown hair. He had her eyes.

"D-Dad!?" She said excitedly. "Wha-What are you doing here!?!?"

"Sweetie, some nice.. Uh... Ponies... found a way to transport you home and bring me here. Please. You've been gone for months!" He said, hugging her.

"Wha-what? I've been gone for a few days and time here is the exact same as in Fanatia!" She yelled. "Wait a minute...."

She knocked on the wall. It was cold and it hurt her as she knocked harder. It wasn't a dream...

"What's going on!?"

"Swee-" He said just before he was punched in the face. His disguise fell and he then appeared as a changeling.

"NO!!!" He screeched. There was a blast and Twilight appeared with green gunk all over her. She blasted the creature with a beam that sent him out of the castle.

"Changelings," Twilight said. "Gotta Hate them."

"What just happened?" Althea questioned.

"That Changeling broke into the castle to claim you as a source. They eat love and you would love your father. Most ponies do." She explained. "I don't know how it found out about you, but we need to get you home soon..."
