The Forbidden Love of a Changeling

"Stay away from him, Fluttershy!" Twilight screamed after she knocked the door down. And I mean literally 'knocked it down'. "Solaris! Use your sword now! I can't believe my magic let him through!"

"Now hold on just a minute!" Solaris interjected, stepping between Art and Twilight. Artwork's blue eyes were big from the shock. "I believe I owe you an explanation!"

"Explain now," Twilight demanded impatiently, her horn glowing and ready to fire if anything happens.

"But first, I want you to lower down the 'weapon'," Solaris pointed at her horn.

"No way!" Twilight shook her head, wondering if she heard him right. "He might capture Fluttershy!"

"Now."

"No, Solar, I can't," Twilight sighed, her horn still igniting. "She's my friend."

"If he's her friend, then he's your friend," Solaris said with the stare. It was kind of impossible to believe that he had the stare more powerful than Fluttershy's; but he was related to her anyway.

"I won't back down!" Twilight stomped her hoof, making Art flinch and cower behind Fluttershy. Unfortunately, Twilight saw this and thought he was attacking! So she fired the spell immedately.

"NO!"

Good thing Solaris was there for he made the spell bounce back with his sword from the table nearby. The magic bounced right as Angel hopped in...and got blast by it. It turns out, the magic spell was harmless! Twilight just made a bubble spell!

Angel crossed his furry arms and blew raspberry at Twilight, but she ignored this.

"ENOUGH!" Solaris boomed with the Royal Canterlot Voice. He picked up the technique since the last time he was in Canterlot so don't question it. Twilight's ears folded as she took a step back. "THOU MUST UNDERSTAND THE LOVE OF THEIR LIFE! THOU PUSHED THEM AWAY FOR TWO YEARS! WE DO NOT WANT THEE HURTING THEM! ARTWORK IS A CHANGELING WHOSE HEART IS NOT EVIL! IF THOU JUST PUSH THE PAST AWAY AND APOLOGIZE, THOU WILST FIND OUT THAT HE IS GOOD!"

Finally, Twilight got her senses back. She realized that she had been harshly seperating them that she eventually made a protective barrier so he would not reach Fluttershy. Twilight hoofed the ground in shame and lowered her head so close to the ground. It's like she's bowing.

"I'm sorry," she whimpered, a few tears leaking from her eyes. "I-I didn't k-know! I was j-just so...confused and a-angry after S-Shining A-Armor's and Cadence's w-wedding that...I'm against them all....I-I thought...they were all e-evil...I'm sorry, Fluttershy!"

Twilight threw herself to Fluttershy and wrapped her hooves around her neck, "I'm so sorry!"

Fluttershy returned the hug and gently smiled, "It's okay, Twilight. I also thought changelings were bad, but Artwork shown me that not all changelings are bad."

After a few tissues and sobs, Twilight turned to Solaris who was happy that he could do something, "Thank you for bringing senses to me."

"D'aww, it's no problem," he smiled, "The 'Royal We' was getting old anyway."

"Y-yeah, I could fee-Wait, the changeling has a name?!" Twilight froze in shock. Her mouth was hanging open.

Fluttershy and Solaris laughed as Solar answered, "Labels are for books, not ponies. I got to go anyway, I'll see you later!"

"Goodbye, cousin!" Fluttershy waved at him as he took off in full speed, leaving a fire trail.

"Wait a minute! How did he get past the barrier?!" Twilight yelled at him.

"Whoops! I...uh...Je fis un nouveau sort que si un changelin veut de l'amour pour la cupidité, ils ne sont pas autorisés à entrer ! Je dois y aller maintenant, au revoir !" He spoke very quickly in Prench before making another fire trail behind him.

"What?!" Twilight asked, not understanding a word he had said. "Ugh, never mind."

"Twilight, this is Artwork Drone Si-"

"DON'T SAY IT!" Artwork interrupted but it was too late.

"-lk..."

Art got down on his knees and screamed, "NOOOOOOOO!"

Twilight and Fluttershy stared at him and blinked before Fluttershy explained, "Sorry, sometimes, Arts can be dramatic on his last name so don't say a word about that."

Twilight nodded in agreement before sighing, "Artwork, I'm really sorry that I tried to push you away from Fluttershy. I understand if you won't be friends with me."

Art's eyes flickered. No pony ever apologizes to a changeling! Except Fluttershy, but this is new!

"I...uh," he stammered, not sure what to say, "I-I guess it's alright..."

"ALRIGHT?!" She shrieked, making him fall on his back. "I...seperated you! I banished you! I even made a barrier for Celestia's sake! And you say 'It's alright'?! Like nothing have happened?!"

'It's okay," Art repeated, smiling. Obviously, he had no experience in this. "At least I'm back with Fluttershy."

Fluttershy's pale fur gone red as she felt his hoof over her neck. Twilight's lips curled into a tender smile, knowing that finally they are back together. But out of the sudden, she remembered how will the ponies react to this...especially her friends. Twilight frowned at the thought.

"I hate to break this cute moment, but what will our friends react?" Twilight asked. "I mean, what if they're mad?"

Fluttershy and Artwork looked at each other, feeling worried, but Fluttershy smiled, "I'd like to keep this as a secret for a while. But I already told Rarity last time before...you know..."

Twilight sighed, "Yes, and I'm sorry again..." Then, she thought about this for a moment before she hesitated, "Okay...I should get going now. Spike's waiting for me ten minutes ago. Bye, Fluttershy! See you at Gala tomorrow."

"The Gala!" Fluttershy facehoofed herself after she watched Twilight fly. She had forgotten all about the Gala! But she also wondered how will Artwork get in. Her thoughts were broken as Angel pushed her hoof to get her attention. "Not now, Angel."

"Um, Fluttershy?"Asked Artwork nervously. "Angel's trying to tell you something."

Angel grew impatient so he threw an invitation at her. "OW!"

Fluttershy rubbed her neck before she spotted the invitation. Curious, she ripped it open and found two tickets for the Gala!

"Two tickets! This is perfect!" Fluttershy smiled. "Arts, do you have anything to wear for tomorrow?"

"Not that I know of," Arts shurgged. "Why?"

"Can you accompany me to Carousel Boutique? You remember Rarity, do you?" Asked Fluttershy.

"Yes, I do," Artwork nodded, wincing, "I remember her screaming in my ear..."

"What was that?" Fluttershy questioned, picking up her old dress.

"Nothing," he said quickly before he changed into his disguise. "You ready to go?"

Fluttershy smiled sweetly as she took his hoof, "Ready."

Artwork, whose disguise was a pegasus, took off to the sky with Fluttershy, finally together again.
