The Forbidden Love of a Changeling

"HI!"

"Ahhhh!" Ava screamed jumping to the ceiling and clinging on the chandelier.

She looked down to see a white mare with a blue mane. She has a pearly white teeth as she sheepishly smiled, "Sorry. I intend to get a little excited on meeting new ponies! Especially pretty changelings."

Ava flew down, her blue transparent wings buzzing, "'Pretty changelings'?"

"Yeah, pretty!" Pearl smiled. "I'm Pearl Harbor and I own the 'White Pearl' company! Though I'm a little too young to have one..."

"I'm Yaroslava," Ava smiled back, shaking her hoof. "You can call me 'Ava'."

Pearl tapped her chin for a moment as if she was thinking before a light bulb flickered on her head.

"I have the perfect thing for you!" She squeed before dragging Ava to her room.

"Whoa-wee!" Ava gasped as she saw Pearl's room. Her room had a blue wallpaper with a picture of oceans and dolphins. Her curtains are the colors of sand and was decorated with pearls.

"I know," Pearl made a toothy grin before making Ava sit on the bed. It was soft and cold. Pearl ran to her closet, digging out her clothes before taking out a bow and a scarf.

"This might be perfect for you!" She smiled, wrapping the scarf around Ava's neck. She clipped the bow on Ava's head and stared at her for a while. "You can look at the mirror now!"

Ava stared at her reflection from the mirror. The scarf and the bow matched her wings. She blushed pink.

"Thank you, Pearl!" Ava hugged her new friend.

Pearl blushed profusely, "It's nothing. Though I should've put some extra pearls on it...wait, I can!"

"No need to," Ava stopped her. "I like it better this way."

Pearl blinked a bit before grinning, "If you say so! Where do you want to go?"

Ava tapped her chin, "Hmm....maybe a walk on the park?"

"Sure!" Pearl nodded happily. "I'm just wondering...what happens when changelings grow older? Do they die or something?"

"Well, yeah, normally they do! But the Queen can last for a thousand years I guess," Ava replied as they trotted to the park. Ava immediately changed into her disguise. "Female changelings will look alike with the ponies here. Like for example, their eyes. Their eyes will turn into pupils instead of boring round eyes."

"Whoa," Pearl gasped in awe, "and they'll grow pretty manes?"

Ava giggled, "Yup! I believe my hair will be blue and silky, based on my last name and eyes. Too bad the male changelings can't transform. It's ashame really. But we, changelings, can make silk with a flick of our hooves an-"

"STAPH!"

Ava was startled and immediately stopped as Pearl had said. Pearl panted, "You made me wanna be a changeling!"

Ava giggled, "You better not. I can list out the bad things."

Pearl stuck out a tongue before bopping Ava's nose, "Tag! You're it!" Then, she made a run. Of course, this was very familiar to Ava so she joined it.

The laughter echoed in the lonely park. It was a beautiful start of friendship.
