What Can Go Wrong?

'I hate this place, smells like peace, everything is so shiny, and is that hypocrisy I taste in the air? Oh Queen.' she thought as she was walked into the castle of Canterlot. Queen Chysalis, respected by many, feared by all, was stepping into the Castle of Canterlot with a small group of changeling following. She was not here to show any force to take the capital over, she was here in the name of peace, she needed an ally, and her council woldn't stop nagging her about it. She was lead to the Meeting Rooom by a few Royal Guards whom she forgot the name of a few minutes after meeting. The castle was clean, many servant ponies, guards and stain glass windows that when she looked at saw tales of adventure.

As the door to the Meeting Room was opened she saw figures, Pricesses Celestia, Luna, and Cadance, the guard stallion she had enchanted Shiny something, the 6 mares that defeated her, and 'Wait.' she thought as she took a seat at the grand table, 'Is that a dragon, where can I get one of those?' she sat staring as the dragon in question felt a bit of nervous.

"Queen Chryalis, I expect your trip here was a good one?" Celestia had said breaking Chrysalis Gaze.

"Yes, It was a pleasurable one, you do make excellent accomadations for people of interest." she said looking to the sun ruler.

"Why thank you, though we are happy that you agreed to such a meeting, why did you want to?" Celestia asked as she took a drink of tea from a cup.

"Because, I had no choice, my people are dying and I need help." she said looking in her eyes.

"What do you mean? Last we saw you had abundant resources and millions in population, what has happened?"

"We have completely ran out of resource, I thought I could lead us to some sort of so called 'promised land' by myself but that was not the case." she looked to the ground, "We have went to an empire of 200,000 to just 25 in the last 7 years. The guards you saw me with are literally almost half my current population, and they are doing everything in their power to make sure I live" everyone could hear her voice breaking as she continued, "I can't do it alone, I've come to terms with this when I sent the request for a treaty 3 months ago. I need help." she admitted. "I tried this very same thing with the Minotaurs, Griffins, and even the sand ponies of the east to see them all turn me away. You are my empires last hope for survival."

Taken a bit a back by what she had just heard, Celestia looked to see The Queen of Changeling with tears streaming down her face and genuine sadness in her eyes. She cleared her throat, "I believe we will need a moment to discuss this, will you leave for a moment?" Princess Celestia said.

"Very well." she said through a few tears as she got up and left the room and waited, thinking to herself as she looked to her guards in front of her, 'This has really what it has come to, begging with tears to save my people, I used to e a strong queen and l=now loook at me. I hope they reach some sort of desicion soon, I don't think the Jungle creature of the south will treat us to kindly, Still haven't seen my messager from them yet, perhas I should take another mark, guess it 26 n..' her thought was interrupted by way of a tap on her shoulder. She made her way back into the room. "Have you reached a verdict?"

"Yes we have, we agree to help you, only if you become an Equestrian citizen." Princess Celestia said with a stoic face.

"Anything yes, of course, whencan we make this official?"

"The wait list is abit long so 6 months."

"6 months!?" she said with a raised voice, "My people probably wont make it 2!" she complained a bit.

"Well, I am sorry but the only other way is by way of marriage if that is what you really should want."

"Yes, anything, please." Chrysalis said as she gre a bit calm, 'Oh Queens what am I doing?'

"V...Very well we shall give you word in a week of a line of suitors.." THe Sun princess was interrupted

"I choose him!" shesaid standing and pointing a hoof in thedirection of the dragon.

Said dragon in question just stood eyes wide and mouth gaping open along with everyone in the rooms 'What?' was all he thought.

The sun princess said "Spike? I am sorry to say Queen Chrysalis but..." a hoof to her shoulder stopped her as she leaned to the other Princesses.

Spike stood panicking, 'Oh why me? I'm just here to document all this, what could I have possibly done to deserve this?' Spike thought still staring off into space. A slap to his back got him out of his stupor. "HUh, what?"

"It is your decision Spike since you are the man in question,"

He looked to the changeling queen and saw her staring at him, with worry in her eyes as he battled the pros and cons of it in his head. 'Ok, so the obvious you are already married, she did try to kill you in the Ivasion, you have a kid, you would be saving a dying race, thegods do not look upon me with luck do they? Oh I hope I don't regrett this oh dear Photo please understand what I did here was for the greater good.

"I...I'll do it." he said 'My wife is gonna kill me.' he thought.

Meeting The Other Wife

5 and a half hours later

It was a long day in the office for her, datelines missed and a few missed appointments had made her day harder than it needed to be, but, she was about ready to go home and finally relax for the weekend. Photo Finish, former fashion photographer, owner and CEO of The Beauty of Form magazine, mother, Princess, and wife to Prince Spike Dragul was looking for some relief from work, she was excited for her date night with her husband as she left her office building when she saw her husband waiting for her with a royal carriage.

"Hey Photo!" Spike said as he came to her and picked her up, "How was work?"

"Tiring dear, I could really use a good hoof massage." she said giving him a peck on the lips that he gladly accepted, she noticed an arm bandand thought to herself, 'That is a weird piece, what is that for?'

"I could do that, but we need to talk, this is kind of a big deal." he said taking her saddle bags.

"What did Frame Rate set on fire now?" she asked as she neared the carriage, but Spike stopped her. "What?"

Spike chuckled nervously, "Well, before you see the inside of the carriage I have to tell you that you look beautiful today and I love you."

Photo thought to herself, 'He's hiding something, what now Spike?' she said, " Thank you and I love you too. Now Spike Dragul, if you do not open the door to this carriage, I will post that picture of you at the Hearts ond Hooves day festival in my magazine."

Spikes heart quickened, he opened the door slowly and braced himself, but there was silence.

Photo was nonplused, flabbergasted, dazed, confused, and any other way you could say the word by what she saw. She ssaw Queen Chrysalis, one of the meanest people on the planet sitting with bags drinking a soda and Princess Celestia making idle chat. She had truly seen everything today, speechless she looked to the chanelings horn and found a ring around her horn and Photo Finish noticed it was the same material of the band on Spikes arm.

Celestia would be the first to speak, "Hello daughter in law would you like to take a step in the carriage, we need to have a talk."

Photo still in shock got in with a nervous and shaking Spike in tow who closed the door as Celestia signaled for it to leave. Photo wanted to say something but couldn't get her mouth to open all she could mutter was, "What?"

"I know you have questions, but you may ask them after Chrysalis has told you why she is here."

All that came out again was, "What?"

Chrysalis took her time as she could feel the awkwardness in the air of the carriage as she adressed the light blue and shade wearing mare, "I know this is going to be a very maddening problem for you, but, you are saving a race, I shall tell you the story I told them." she bagn retelling the story of why she came, repeating the same grief and sadness she spoke in the meeting, even breaking down as she told. Photo felt for her as she heard, shared sympathy for the changeling queen and listened to the raw and pure emotion she poured into every word.

"I couldn't wait, and I chose Spike to be m husband to help me live, I know of your relationship with him and the child you have, I know this is not easy for you and I cant expect it to be."

She was conflicted to say the lease, that was the most genuine emotion she has seen out of anyone, besides a certain few. Though there was doubt in her heart that this could all just be a trick to try for the city of Canterlot again, she had to say something, "I believe that we could work something out." she said. "If only you can gaurantee that there will be no over feeding or trickery within whatever this is."

It was Celestias time to speak as she said, "Yes we thought of that and we have a somewhat solution till a more permanent solution can be made. The ring on Chrysalis horn is enchanted to negate any spells to enchant, over feed, or mesmerize. Also, Spike suggested something, something you and myslf should discuss in private."

"Very well Celestia." Photo said.

"Spike who had been silent the whole trip said, "Thanks so much, I thought you would hate me for what I did." he said reaching to hug her only to be stopped by her hoof.

"Oh do not get comfortable yet, I am still very confused about this, dont expect anything from me soon mister." she said with a serious face.

The carriage stopped and Celestias magic opened the door, Spike who was also carrying Phots saddlebags, took Chrysalis bags and left with Chrysalis in tow. As they left Celestia closed the door and put a sound proof barrier around the carriage, "Now aboout that thing I mentioned earlier."

Photo looked to her and said, "Yes, what is it?"

"Spike loves you, so very much, so he intrusted a matter to you that he would not trust another soul."

"And what would that be?" Photo was genuinely interested.

"Chyrsalis is being put through what Discord was during his rehabilitation, we would like to have her on our side."

"Oh, so where exactly do I come in?"

"Spike wants you to be the judge on her progress, he wants you to determine when we take the spell off of the ring on her horn."

"Oh, that is a big call, but, what if all of this is a trick, I suspect you have your suspicions on the matter."

"Yes, just know that she will be watched 24/7. Though she was just crying a few minutes ago do not let that foool you, she is still an unstable element."

"Ok Celestia." just as she was about to leave she said, "Are still up for playing with Frame Rate tomorrow?"

Celestias serious mood went out the window and she squealed, Yes, I fell like I haven't seen him in forever, I will be by tomorrow at noon." she said with a smile.

"Very well see you then." she smiled as she left the carriage to find her husband and.......wife? fiance? oh she was so done with today.

Author's Note

Question of the chapter.
Do you thing I did good with this chapter?

The God and The Talk

Queen Chrysalis, was confused to say the least, she didn't know a lot about Equestrian history, but she knew three things through the chatter of her former hive, Princess Luna was Nightmare Moon, Tirek was someone she didn't want to meet, and Discord is a god of chaos. Even thought these are fact, it still didn't make any sense why the God of Chaos wason a cotton candy cloud th size of a doll playing with 2 half bred pony/dragon chindren. She smiled,then giggled, then broke into a full laugh, which caught the attention of said god and childlren, who were confused for a bit. Spike looked at herwith a bit of confusion till he cracked a smile at the scene before him.

"Ok kids, lets go upstairs." Spike went and the kids followed. Though, downstairs anothr conversation was taking place.

"Ahh, Queen Chysalis, what may I pray tell you are doing here?" he grew to his normal size and pulled off a horn to pop the cloud like a ballon and caught the children and put them down, "I broke contact with you a decade ago."

Said Queen was coming down from her laugh to say, "Oh Discord, you never seem to dissapoint in the laughter catergory." she gained a bit more composure and continued, "Though, I must say the mighty have fallen, what are you doing here?"

"Come now Chrissy, I asked you first, and within all things gentlemanly ladies first." he said waering a smile, as a recliner appeared under him.

"I do not feel like telling the story again, lets just say, I didn't do so good at being a ruler, I am here because my mistakes destroyed my people." she hated telling that story, she wouldn't speak of it again. "And i guess you could say, Karma is a strange being."

"Oh my, I guess trouble becomes us all, though to indulge you, I'll share my story with you." He told her of how Princess Celestia put him in the care of Fluttershy under the circumstance for rehabilitation to transition from bad to ggo, the trouble he caused, and making friends with others. "I guess that just about sums it up."

"I have another question, what made you change your mind, you yourself said had doubts on the whole friendship deal so what changed your mind, you had all the power in the world everyone could be bowing at your feet right now, what changed all of that?"

"I guess when you break it down to its roots, you could say no matter how much power you have, no matter how much you conquer for yourself, at some oint you realise that you are all alone, by yourself at the top. I don't know about you but, everyone needs someone they can trust, even though I have all this power, I find it good i have people around me I can share it with." he said with a smile ashe looked at her deep within her very mind to see even she was alone, literally and emotionally. "But, that is enough of the serious chat, I must be going, Rarity and I are gonna go shopping soon,. Ta-Ta!" and like that he disappeared in a pink poof.

Chrysalis wanted to be mad, she wanted to be angry, though she didn't why. It was what he said, she knew it was true. She would be all alone like she always was, she sat there in deep thought over what she heard Discord say, 'I don't know about you but, everyone needs someone they can trust, even though I have all this power, I find it good i have people around me I can share it with.' she hated being proved wrong but those words kept echoing in her head, then she was broken out of it when someon spoke.

"Oh, we have a room for you if you want it." said Photo Finish as she looked to the Queen.

It was Spikes, her, fiance, wife, oh dear Faust she was so done with today. " I would very much like that, it has been a long day and I need some sort of sleep."

Photo Finish walked and Chrysalis followed, as she did she noticed that they lived within a pretty siable mansion, she knew Photo Finish owned a very well off company but she probably couldn't afford all of this so she asked, "How did you get this home it's manificent."

"Well, it actually omes from Spike, he is a princeso money comes with the title." she said and then she thought, 'Maybe I shouldn't have said that.'

"What!?" she kept walking but she was still very surprised, 'How did I just randomly choose and get this lucky!?' she thought as she reached the room she would be in.

"Yes, though he is a bit down the line, Behind Luna, Twilight, and Blueblood." saying his name gave her chills, she despised him, like 98 percent of Equestrians.

Discords words found their way back into her thoughts and she soon said to herself in a whisper, "Then he must be really alone, absolutely no one. Eh, but what do I care he ..brought it..on himself." She noticed the gravity of what she just said.

"What was that?" Photo said as she opened the door to a luxurious room.

"Nothing. Wow, this is a beautiful room, how much is there to this place?"

"9 bedrooms, 4 and a half bathrooms, attic and basement, quite big, but, some of my and Spikes friends come and stay a night or two. You are across form mine and Spikes room thebathroom is down the hall to the right, thi place is 3 stories high, I wanted something smaller but we might want more kids." then idea popped in her head, "Should we expect any kids for you?"

Chrysalis blushed, hard, she didn't even seem to factor that into the equation, "Uhhh, uhhh, I ..dont..know?"

Photo now noticing what she said thought to herself, 'Oh, Spke, you've rubbed off me.' then she said, "Well you are in for a treat with my dragon, you wont be ale to walk after." with that she left with a huge smile on her face as she laughed at the face Chrysalis made as she told her that.

"Oh Faust, today is just full of surprises." she said to no one but herself as she layed on the bed and passed out like a light.

This may or may not be the final chapter for 2015 I miht squeeze one in thi week but, no promises,. Happy holidays guys!!!. See ya later!

The Kids and The Truth

Fire Flowers was curious to say the least, she had never seen a changeling before, ony heard stories about them being really mean and obnoxious and she was here to investigate. She had brought her brother with her, he was a bit scared but she would be lying if she said she wasn't as well. Chrysalis had come about 4 hours ago it was 8:30 at night and the sun had finally gone down,, only a bit of it shined pass the horizon and it was time to see her.

"Fire, are you sure this is safe?" Frame Rate asked as heput his claw on the handle.

"Yea, stop being such a scary half-breed and open the door." she demanded.

"I don't even want to be here, why do I let you drag me into these things?"he wined as he let go of the door knob.

"Cause I'm older than you by a year, cause I have better grades than you, and..." she was interrupted from her speech by her brother.

"OK, one, I cant control when people get born so hush it with that. Two, you spend time with Twilight half the day, and even more on the weekend. Also, third, I'm better at fir and stronger than you so HA!" he said with triumph in his voice.

"You need to calm down LITTLE brother." she said standing on two legs and looking down on him.

Frame Rate had enough and tackled her and they began wrestling, loudly I might add, much to the . Chrysalis, who had just slept for 2 hours, woke up from the wrestlin that was happening outside her door. Slightly frustrated that she was woken from her sleep, she got up and stretched hed limbs then proceeded to open the door to see two half dragons wrestling on the ground. As amusing as it was to see the two smaller being wrestle around, also cute but she wouldn't admit it, this had woken her up fom her slumber and that was enough.

She cleared her throat, but the two wrestling figures didn't acknowledge her, then she tried a stomp of her hoof, which didn't work either. Then, with a glow of her crooked horn, she lifted the two and pulled them away from each other and sat them down. "Uhhh, Hello?" she tried to sound nice.

The two frozen up, not saying anything, though when Chrysalis took a sep forward, they ran and ran fast. Chrysalis, a little put down by this walked back in her room to et some more sleep.

Back with Crysalis telling the story to Fire Flower

"Chysalis! I already know how we met I was there" Frame Rate said in an annoying tone.

"OH Yeah, then I'll just skip that part, sorry" she said as she continued the story.

Back to the story

Chysalis had been sitting here for a few hours with a book, "The Great Ponysby", she thought it was an excellent book that tough a great lesson, she was actually close to finishing it. She had found a study in the mansion and decied to staythere, since she couldn't find it in herself to go to sleep. She was nearing the final chapter of the book when she was interrupted by someone coming into the room, she looked up to see Photo Finish walking into the room.

"Oh, I apologize, i didn't think anyone would be here at this hour." she said as she took a book from her saddlebag and sat in a chair across from her.

"It's fine, it is your house after all." the changeling said as she looked to the light blue mare.

"Alright." she began reading her book.

A few minutes passed befor anyone said anything, Chryslis, who was finished with her book, decided to break the silence. "I am sorry to interrupt you but, I must ask you something."

Photo put down her book and looked to thQueen and asked, "What would that be?"

"This whole taking another spouse thing, you are even taking the fact that I am a known national criminal better thaan most, what is your thought on all of this?"

She sat down her book and looked to the changeling, "Yes, it was and still is a huge hurdle to overcome. I will not put it lightly, what you did was a horrible thing, despicable even, down right evil." she said with a bit of venom in her voice, and Chrysalis felt it. "Though, I am a firm believer in karma, and that is a force no one shall run from. In what you have done I believe this is karmas way to come back and kick your ass. I may not be able to relate or judge you as a changeling but I must say, and excuse me if I sound like a pessimist or a sadist, but I can't imagine what it felt like to see other of your race to drop dead, if front of you or out of reach. The horrors you must dream every night as you see people that even you as a Queen respect or love to see them die in your arms,in you dreams, or even in your very hooves. I can only apologize to you, say what you must about my speech but you can not deny what it is, the truth, the awful truth and you have to live with it. Now, what Spike has done for you is given you a second chance, and I hope you do not take it lightly beacuse could be the last chance you get" there was a small silence between them, only the faces they kept as they stared at each other.

'The truth hurts.' thats all the Queen of changeling or what was left of changeling thought as she levetated a nother book in front of her to read, but, behind the pages she cried, worst than she ever had before. Though she wasn't alone, Photo had gone to her and hugged her, because it is all she can do...for a friend.

She didn't know how or when she fell asleep or how she got back to her bed in her new room, but there was that same warmness she felt as she cried from the other night. Then it hit, her Photo Finish, her fiance or dare she even say, her friend. She looked down to see the light blue mare holding her as she slept, her white mane strew across her face as the steady rise and fall of her chest looked peaceful as a flower budding on a spring day. She could understand why Spike fell in love with her by just a small interaction the morning just hours before, but more notably the wa she looked right now, beautiful. One of Photos eyes opened to show a beautiful pink eye, Chysalis face was flushed as she had come to try to speak but was stopped by a light blue hoof. Then it happened, she felt the other mares lips on her own, it was amazing and oh so satifying as she began to kiss back and close her eyes. She felt Photos tongue at her lips begging for entrance and she opened and felt them wrestling for dominace as she closed her eyes and felt her hooves wrap around the mare. She was instantly taken out of it as the need for air became greater and she had to pull away, breathing quite heavily as she stared into those eyes and it hit her like bricks, she was falling in love witht this mare. The small interaction had sent her head over heels for her, the fire she held, the passion in her voice, the feel of her kisses, and the beauty of her form, she was amazing in every sense of the word.

Suddenly, said mare got up and out of bed, never taking her eyes off the changeling, her mouth opening to say, "That should give you enough till lunch comes around, yes?" a smile on her lips and what looked to be the tent of blush on her cheeks.

"M..m.." sje couldn't find herself to speak after the sensory overload she just went through. "Most likely." was all she could say before she too got out of bed and looked to the door in a feeble attempt to hide her flushed face. "Thank you Ms. Photo I.." she was cut off.

"No need for formality, we are soon to be married just call me Photo." her smile genuine and her eyes with only that passion in them.

"Y..yes, now if you may excuse me, i need to shower." Chrysalis left the roof faster than she had noticed, and was in the bathroom starting the shower in no time flat. 'It is just infatuation!' denial in her own thoughts as she kept replaying the feeling over and over in her head as she steped into the hot shower. Her mind betraying her as more thoughs of what could have happened played through her head as she felt her own hoof go lower on her body. Then she was snaped out of it by knocking at the door, Spikes voice clear through the wood.

"Hey, umm, I was wondering if you wanted a tour of Canterlot?' he asked.

"Yes, I will be out momentarily." she said blushing hard as she started cleaning herself with a blush on her face at what she had just done.

"Alright, I'll be downstairs when your ready." she heard his retreading footsteps and continued scrubbing, silently thanking him for stopping her, she was a screamer and she didn't want to explain that anytime soon.

With Spike, he sat on the couch next to his wife and pulled her on top of him. She let out a small gasp at the action but kept a smile on her face. "So, has she eaten yet?" he asked her giving her a small peck on the cheek.

"Yes." she blushed, "It was quite fun, she is an excellent kisser." she soon smiled evillly and wleaned to his ear and whispered, "Better than you even." She knew what she was doing, she loved to see Spike in alpha dragon mode.

"Oh really?" he asked as he looked her in the eyes.

"Yea, what you gonna do about it dragoon boy?" she booped his nose with a hoof and felt herself pinned on the couch not a second latre, Spike on top.

"I'll show you a good time.", he began kissing at her neck and that go a moan from her.

"Oh Spike, gonna have to do better than that" she lifted hishead and began a heavy make out session with him. Her toungue was losing the battle to Spikes longer forked one. Her moans only increased when she felt somethimg, or rather some things, on her hind leg and they just kept getting bigger and bigger and even more bigger. Eyes rolled in the back of her head as she felt it with one of her hooves, she llooked to the side and saw something,The blush on her face one went into overdrive when she opened her eyes and saw Chrysalis looking in a mix of awe, embarrasment, and lust. She pulled away from her husband, "Spike." she was ignored as he continued kissing at her neck, "SPIKE!!"

Spike rose his head and turned the way she was looking and his blood went cold ashe saw Chrysalis there mouth agape and staring at one pice of him, well two actually. "Uh, c..could you."

"Y..Yea, I was.." she turned away but you could feel the heat from her blush.

"Just wait in the kitchen please?" he asked slowly getting himself in control as Photo rocketed up the stairs in a blur.

She went to the kitchen and sat at the table within it as she just looked out the window wide eyed and mouth open. An earth pony passing by felt eyes on him and saw her staring at him so he ran away as fast as he could dropping the grocieries he had with him. Chrysalis suddenly came to a realization, Spike had two kids, someone had to get one of those to fit. She then realized that will be married to Spike in a week, and she had to get one of those to fit, but there were two that only left another hole, but what if he pushed both in... she fainted before she could finish the tought, an ever present blush on her face as she was unconscious. What she didn't know was that Spike had come into the room during her little panic session and saw her head hit the table. He rushed to her to see she was still breathing, he was relieved of worry. Then he saw the blush on her cheeks and thought to himself.

'Gonna be a long day.'

How It Happened

The looks, that's what she hated most about being in public, everypony knew what was going on between them, the news had spread fast. The way most ponies looked at her, hate in their eyes, but as she heard from Photo Finish just this early morning, they had all perfect reason to have such a look. Everywhere that Spike showed her that day, from the factories, to the schools, the shops, even some of the embassys they had gone to this day had been looks of hatred. They were currently at a small shop named Pony Joe's for a small snack, seeing as they had been walking all day it sounded like a nice treat after a long day. She sat at one of the tables and waited for Spike to get them some donut, she wanted chocolate cream filled. When he came back he carried a dozen with him, he sat across form me and took a bite of a glazed one, while I took acream filled. He had brought a satchel with him filled with bits in order to get them into places, as ther were a lot to see, he even mentioned some sizable jewels

"So, when we were at the castle a couple of days ago, you said that you would explain further on how you ran out of resource." he said taking another bite of the donut he held.

"Yes." she finished off the donut she had and began on another, "We changelings do eat regular ponies do such as sandwiches, salads, etc. but the nutrients we get from said foods only holds out for us for a short period of time. When we take love, happiness, or sadness in extreme cases it is because it holds out for us a lot longer. The transformations we use," she said as she began turning into Princess Luna slowly, "takes energy to hold for hours, days, weeks even." she dropped the Luna persona and returned to her original form, "That is why we need cerain supply in order to live and function."

"Oh," Spike had finished 2 donuts by the time she finished speaking, "So how did you run out?"

She started another donut before saying, "The birth rate skyrocketed, I remember the records, they said for every changeling that died there were 9 that were born. We have huge crystal support columns in the hive, they act as surpulss food sources when we are too full of emotional energy. We use a bit of magic to store it within the crystals in a worst case senario, though any sort of gem would do."

"So to many changeling were born for the surpluss of food to sustain?" he had finished another as she had finished one of hers.

"Yes, the crystal columns were sucked dry and a lot of young didn't make it. then the rest of the columns rand ry for the adults and they too began to perish, families mourned for months. I began to send covert missions to get some sort of emotional energy from surrounding pony cities and villages, but it was never enough. Over time therewas nothing to do, so my citizens began pumping their energy to meto keep me alive, though I begged them not to they kept doing so. You know the rest from there." she said as she reached for another donut but felt Spikes claw on her hoof. She looked to him to see him holding a pretty sizable gem, emerald it looked like about the size of his claw.

"Then here, have this so you can store some energy into it. I know it isn't a huge column of crystal but its better than nothing." he said as he sa it onthe table for her. "Wait you need something to hold it with, hold on." he searched through his bag and produceda string and he wrapped around the gem to make a make shift necklace. "Do you mind?"

She leaned her head down and he put it on her. "Spike," she rose, "I don't know how to thank you, you didn't need to do this."

"Oh its fine, you have been through a lot in the past couple of years time fr someting good to happen for on..." he didn't finish the sentence as he was cut off by a kiss. He slowly kissed back as he felt the raw emotion in it. It only lasted 5 seconds, but it felt like 5 minutes and neither of the party was complaining.

When she pulled away she tried to hide her huge blush behind her mane to no avail, "Spike, I am sorry I don't know what came over me I.." It was her turn to be pulled into a kiss, equally satisfying and equally accepted. she would have stayed there but a shock was sent through her horn and she pulled away with a, "Ow!"

"Oh, sorry did I hurt you?" he was worried he messed up.

"No Spike, that was wonderful, the limiter on my horn shocked me." she rubbed her horn and frowned at the pain.

"Oh, ok. Do you want to check on your subjects?" he asked while putting the satchel back on his shoulder.

"Yes, why not? I would like to see progress on how they are being treated."

"Ok, let's go." he put a 20 bit tip on the table and left with the Changeling Queen headed for the castle.

Author's Note

So, what do ya think? Not an amazing chapter I know but it answers the question of how the changeling ran out of resources. Next chapter next week.

See ya later!

P.S. I will change the rating on this

P.P.S. Wishing I Could Change is not up for adoption.

P.P.P.S. Did you notice the name change on Wishing I Could Change?

In the Castle

The Canterlot Gardens, known for its beautiful flowers, was a peaceful place one could go to in order to let the stress of the day away. Though today Princess Celestia was its only guest, or so she thought. She would be taking a stroll through through the royal gardens, to ease the stress from the press about the changelings in the castle, when she heard laughter, not just any laughter, but that of the Element of loyalty, Rainbow Dash. She poked her head through one of the bushes to see Twilight Sparkle doing cartwheels. 'What is going on? I though she was in the library.' She was about to say something when Twilight spoke.

"It is pretty funny isn't it?" her voice betrayed her figure, she spoke in a masculine voice.

"Yea...yea it is." she had kept chuckling, trying to get it all out. "Wait, now do Rarity acting like a pig!"

'Twilight' had a green shimmer cascade over herself to show Rarity, the element of Generosity. The faux Rarity began to sniff at the ground and began making oinking noises and rolling around in the dirt.

Rainbow began laughing and fell on her back laughing hard and wiping a few tears away as she was coming down. "Oh, that is just rich! You changeling guys aren't that bad."

Rainbows guest dropped its faux Rarity disguise showing a male changeling smiling at her "It is pretty funny, what do you.." he seemed to go a bit stiff at who was peeking at them.

'What just happened looks like hes gonna have a heart attack.' Rainbow looking confused said, "Hey, what's up? You're lookin' weird." she followed his line of sight to see Princess Celestia looking at them with a small smile on her face.

Celestia aware she had been spotted stepped more into view to say, "I hope im not interrupting anything am I?"

The changeling stiffened a bit scared til Rainbow stood in front of him to say, "Princess, I'm sorry, I knew you said to leave them to the attendants but..but.." searching for some sort of excuse to say, her thoughts went interrupted by the Princess.

"No need to explain Rainbow Dash, but I must ask, how did you get here with no one noticing? I know he could just change but what do you have to say?" Celestia asked.

"What can I say? I'm a fast flier." she said proudly.

"That you are but I must ask. Why?" she asked

"Well, iif we are gonna start this whole treaty of friendship thing witht the changelings then what good does it do to lock them away? " she said.

Celestia could only smile at what Rainbows words and said, "Yes, you are right, but, I was going to let them take time to rest and feel their hunger. The dealings with the changelings is very fragile due to the invasion attempt a few years ago. Also, the wedding of Spike and Chrysalis is making things uneasy in some of my counsil."

"Oh Celestia let them have their fun." A voice sopke. The alicorn turned to see Spike and Chrysalis there apparently, who apparently heard everything. "If me and Chrissy can get along so can others right?"

"Oh I wish it was that simple Spike, but you are right, you both are, if this treaty is to work then we must be ableto trust in one another. Go on Rainbow, you and..what is your name?" Celestia asked the changeling.

"I am Velox, my parents named me in some ancient language, I believe Latin."

"Well then Velox, you and Rainbow Dash have fun." Rainbow was about to yell something but was cut off the solar guardian, "But stay inside the castle, it is almost lunch time."

Spike giggles, "Celestia, didn't you say you wanted to see Frame Rate and Fire Flower?"

"My babies!" and with that in a flash of white light she was gone.

Everyone else, except for Spike and Rainbow, were left in sort of a trance due to the Princesses complete 180 in attitude. Spike who was used to some of the Pincesses more silly side was thinking, 'I think I left the shower on, ehh Photo has it covered."

it took a few seconds to register what happened before Chrysalis was the first to speak saying, "Velox, it seems you have made a friend, and its Rainbow Dash."

Velox spoke to say, I don't..." but was interrupted by Rainbow.

"This guy is awesome, he can change and he can fly super quick and he is hilarious of course he is my friend!" she said excitedly before hugging him.

He blushed, not because of her excited yet brash attitude but because he was starving. He hugged back and closed his eyes trying to put the feeling aside, then his stomach rumbled and he in turn blushed harder. That only made Rainbow hug him harder and then say, "Drink up as much as you need to, you're my friend and I ain't quitting on you!" As he drank, he opened his eyes to see Spike and his queen gone. He drank till he was full and..

Back with Chrysalis teling the story

"OOOH! Can we go see Auntie Rainbow and Uncle Velox later?" Frame Rate asked.

"I'll ask if you can spend the night on Saturday, is that ok?" Chrisalis asked.

"Ok, back to the story."

"Wait now what was this I hear of you and their daughter kissing on the playground?" she said with a smile on her face.

"Nothing!" he was bllushing madly and continued. "Please continue the story."

"Fine, but I wanna hear all about it."

Back to the story

As Velox and Rainbow finished their hug they didn't notice the eyes of Spike and Chrysalis on them and the queen said, "Oh isn't that cute."

"Ehh, I don'tthink a ral romance will actually happen though." the dragon said to her as they walked away.

"Oh why not?" she asked.

"Because I think Rainbow is more into mares. I mean I've never seen her with a stallion." he took a minute to think then said. "Or a mare for that matter."

"Then who knows what the future holds, she might get a chimera even." she said giggling at the impossibility.

"Oh, I would love to see that." he said giggling with her as they walked.

Author's Note

Did you like it? Cause I'm not gonna lie it was not worth th wait but regular schedule with updates no so yay.

See ya later.

What It Took To Be Make Us Happen

Photo Finish finally had a day off, the kids were quiet, Spike was out and Chrysalis was gone as well? Sanctuary, today was gonna be nice and slow, just as she wanted, well that was until she heard a crash from downstairs. Begrudgingly, she got out of her and Spikes shared bed to go downstairs. What she saw was Princess Celestia, ruler of the land of Equestria, as a small filly running from her two kids. Today was gonna be long, and it was only 2:30 in the afternoon. She knw she wouldneed an aspirin after today.

It was a vase that broke, and it was the one Rarity gave her in the house warming party when they first moved into the neighborhood. She growled inwardly and spoke in a raised voice, "Kids, Beruhigen Sie sich und reinigen Sie Ihre Unordnung." The kids obeyed and went to
clean the vase as Photo approached the princess.

Impressed the princess said "They know how to understand German?" she turned herself to her normal size and smiled down to Photo.

"Yes, I decided to teach them, they can also speak it very well, Frame Rate better than Fire Flower but I choose no favorites." Photo said as she took a seat and looked up to the princess with a small smile on her face. She still can't get over the fact she talks to royalty almost every week.

"Oh, that is nice." Celestia said as the kids came back with a broom and dustpan and started to clean the vase from the floor. "And how are things going with the Queen?"

"I feel like she is taking some initiative to change her ways but, I have my own doubts." she said while looking at the kids as they complete their work. She then led Celestia to the kitchen out oof earshot of the kids

"Oh, and what are these doubts?" Celestia said as she walked with the mare.

"I believe she may be growing actual feelings but I think they are specifically for Spike."

"Oh, well, considering the situation that she is in she may be trying to cling to him for emotional stability. You must remember she is queen of an edangered race, and she must be feeling anxious for what she has done in the kingdom of Equestria. I can only imagine the looks she must be getting. I have been getting flogged with the fears of the nobles and even letters from angry and fearing citizens."

"Oh my, I can imagine some may be threats from hateful."

"Yes, many hate groups have written some of ill intent." The princess looked to the floor, she thought to herself, 'I can understand the fear but the groups that wish for me to execute her publically are a bit much.'

Photo said solemnly, "I know how it feels." looking at the floor she said, "I have never told Spike this but , before we got married in our relationship I recieved a few of those letter, some calling me a whore, a slut, some even labeling me as havinga beastiality fetish. Spike had told me he got a letter against my life and rushed to me to protect me, he wouldn't leave me for the entire night. Ironically though that was also that was also the night that I had gotten pregnant. Spike had taken a vow to protect me, as you may recall he did not leae my side through the whole pregnancy. Even starting my buisiness i was cast stray looks of hate, even some of my own family started to hate me." a tear fell to the floor as she continued. "Then 8 months into the pregnancy I was actually having thoughts of ending it all."

The Princess of the Sun couldn't believe what she was hearing, she took the mare into a hug and held her tight. She hated what she heard and the scene she was seeing, a fully grown mare with her own buisiness crying into her shoulder like a foal. "I can understand your hurt my little pony, the love of two species has always been an issue in history. It was also one of the key points in the Griffin-Pony War and was direct relation to the passingof the All Species Affirmative Action Bill passing." Celestia let Photo go to continue, "That is why I expect you to treat her as any other pony, you know what she is going through and can sympathize with her needs. I hope you can make this as comfortable as possible for her please?"

"I will, thank you Celestia." she said going back to the living room, Celestia next to hey

"No problem at all my little pony, now if you will excuse me, I have to go see my grandbabies." Celestia said as she headed upstairs.

Photo was about to sit down when she heard a knock on the door, "Oh, who could that be?" she went to answer it only to come face to face with Chrysalis and Spike in handcuffs and a Royal Guard with a tired look on his face, "I believe, these two live here?"

"Yes, yes they do." The guard brought them in and sat them on the couch. 'Oh Celestia, there goes my relaxing day.' she thought as she rolled her eyes.

Why We Are In Chains

Author's Note

There is a slight NSFW on this chapter, not really action more on the line of scenery. Also, I would like to say thanks for following this story and See ya later.

Why We Are In Chains

Currently on the couch there sat a dragon, a changeling, an alicorn and an earth pony with the most annoyed look on her face; it looked like something you would see in some obscure story. In front of the group stood a royal guard, Shimmering Sword is his name, and he was currently reading off the charges brought against said changeling and dragon.

Shimmering Sword brought out a notepad from his saddlebag and read,"Ok, we have public indecency and assault." he finished and put his notepad back in his saddlebag.

"Might I ask, who called these charges against them?" asked the Princess of the sun.

"That would have to be Prince Bloodblood your majesty." The guard said that with a bit of a tired tone, everyone elso groaned at the mention of the name.

"Spike, Chrysalis would you like to tell me what actually happened?" Celestia asked.

"Cause I'm sure Bluebloods would be nothing but whiny rants." Photo said absent mindedly as everyone held in a laugh.

"Well it began like this." Spike started as he let out a few giggles from Photos statement.

FLASHBACK````````````````````````

Just after the meeting with Rainbow and her new changeling friend when Spikes stomach rumbled. "Oh, you just ate not to long ago, why am you so hungry?" Chrysalis asked.

"Well, I haven't had any gems all day so that could be it." He answered as he rubbed his stomach as changed courses from the front door to another room.

"Where are you going?" she asked as she stopped to look at him.

"C'mon, I'll show you." he said waving a claw and smiling.

She quickly caught up to him and saw that they were entering a bedroom. 'I wonder what he is doing.' She looks to see him tapping the wall with a claw. 'Wait, what is he doing?' she thought to herself.

"Hey Chrissy can you close the door please, this is kind of a secret." he asked as he kept a hand on the wall in a certain spot.

"Oh, umm ok." the door was encased in green magic and closed. She saw him pull out a clear bag that seemed to b filled with gems as he sat on the bed in a more comfortable position.

"C'mon, I won't bite." he said as he threw a few gems in his mouth and patted the spot next to him.

She joined him hesitantly, laying down she grew an appreciation at how soft the bed was. "Wow, this feels even better than the one at your place."

"Yea, that's the royal treatment." He threw a few more gems into his mouth, chewing then swallowing, "I should tae you to the spa one day, get all beautified. I mean, it isn't llike you need, you are already very beautiful." He said with a blush on his cheeks as he looked at her.

"Oh, well thank you Spike" she said through a blush.

"Also, I would like to apologize for what happened this morning." His blush deepened as he continued. "You shouldn't have seen that. I got caught up in the moment and.." a hoof covered his mouth.

The blush on the changeling queen couldn't be any hotter as his suddenly thought, 'Oh what the hell he's my fiance.' she moved her hoof and spoke, "Well, as repayment I want you to do something for me." she said with a smile as she practically climbed on him.

Spike, now blushing harder, said, "A.a.and what would you like?" a bit nervously his hand rubbed her back.

"I would like you to continue what you started with her, with me." closing the space between their faces and licking his cheek.

Spike simply smiled and looked at the clock,"Well it is 1 o'clock so, afternooon delight sounds amazing." He licked his lips and closed the space and eveloped her with a kiss.

Meanwhile, some time later in the room beside Spike and Chrissy. There layed a white unicorn covering his head with a pillow in an attempt to block the sound of a thumping going on in the room next to his. He looked to the clock on his bedside table and it read, 2:45 p.m. Thinking to himself as he got up and dressing in a robe, 'This racket has bee going on for the last near 2 hours, what the devil could this be!?' He troted out the door and to the next room and banged on the door to recieve no answer. ''Don't people there are people trying to nap!?" What he got was the sight of a lifetime and all he could do was let out a high pitched scream. Which not only scared the inhabitants of the room, but alerted the guards to the room.

When Shimmering Sword got to the scene he couldn't believe what he saw. He saw Spike the dragon naked, with a few pieces hanging out, trying to hold a struggling a Bluebloods mouth closed, and a naked changeling queen with a look of bliss on her face and sprayed with what he could only guess and blush at. He finally came to the thought, 'I don't get enough bits for this.' as he marched forward to do his job.
END FLASHBACK``````````````````````

With a huge blush of everyone in the room Spike finished the story, "And thats what happened."

Shimmering Sword only nodded approving the story for its truth. "It is, from what I saw, exactly as he described it.

Celestia stood and said, "I will personally pardon these two of the crimes they have apparently commited." Celestia said as she looked at the two in question.

Shimmering Sword nodded and saluted her, "Yes ma'am, if you say so." he quickly bowed and left the house.

Celestia looked at all 3 left on the couch, "Well, that was fun to hear but if you excuse me my grandchildren need me. Oh, and Spike." she turned to hi.

"Yes ma'am?"

She looked into his eyes as if she was reading his soul and spoke, "Don't let it happen again, or you will have to deal with me, personally." she smiled and turned to the stairs and left him shaking.

Photo raised her signature shades to her forehead and rubs her eyes, "You two are in so much trouble."

Spike shook as Chrysalis looked confused and thought, 'What, it can't be that bad, can it?' she thought, and would soon regret.

Ponyville Part 1

On a train to Ponyville, thats someplace I thought I would never go. Not only because I was a wanted criminal, but, because its the home of the Elements of Harmony. I mean, I know they helped save me and what is left of my race, but, there are still some hard feelings. It took a few hours to get there but here we are, at the train station, and my hooves couldn't be shaking any harder. It wasn't the feeling of fear, but, anxiousness. I knew what the stares were like in Canterlot, but to be in the enemies home town, was absolutely frightening. Spike had brought the kids with him, saying something about a Rose flower or something, I couldn't hear I was to busy trying to walk again. We had gotten off the train and people were already looking, though to my confusion, and relief, not me but at Spike. Many ponies greeting him and Photo Finish, I took this chance to stroll away.

I wasn't being stared at, it felt weird, I was a few kids looking at me weirdly but that was about it. Spike had told me a few of the things this town has gone through in his time being here but this is impressive. Suddenly I smacked into something and fell.

A southern drawl came to my ears as I looked up to see Applejack staring down at me, "Y'all alright?" she said.

'I don't know what they feed this pony but she is built like a brick wall.' I thought then said, "I am quite alright, just shocked is all. You seem to be.." as I stood.

"Quite sturdy, yea I get that a lot, years of living on a farm will do that to you. So, You and Spike ready for ya punishment."

I looked at her, "And what will this punishment be?"

"Oh, nothing, just some farm work I need done is all." she said with a smile, and by the gods she just expels the truth.

A few hours later the sun had set, and I was exhausted. The farm work was backbreaking and straining, the sun just couldn't take a hint, dammit Celestia why torture me as such? My saving grace, the shade under the trees, my other saving grace, watching Spike working. The way he moved, and the way his muscles seemed to shine in the sun everytime he punched a tree to knock the apples out of it was just maddening. There was a fire in my loins, and there was only one person who could fix it. I had gained the strength to go to the barn where Spike was, though when I got there I was met with Photo Finish.

She turned to speak with me. "Oh, hello." she said with a smile smile. "Enjoy your punishment?"

"Shut up." I simply said as she covered her mouth to stifle her giggling. "That was absolutely horrid, Iam one for keeping a fit and heathy lifestyle but that sort of work should only be given to the most hardened of criminals.

With that she erupted in laughter then fell back onto some hay. "I saw you staring at Spike." she said to me causing my blush to rise.

"Yes, and? He is my fiance, I can look how hard I want." I said in amatter of fact tone.

"No need of hostility, I was staring too. I actually came to fine him, but I guess I got here too late. Besides, don't you know how hard he can get"

"Same here, I have needs and only he can satisfy them. That and I am starving I could use a bit of love."

I suddenly found myself on my back as soon as I finished the sentence and a hungry Photo Finish strattling me. The ever present blush on my face grew as she leaned forward and our lips touched. By the gods she is an excellent kisser, I found myself wrappingmy hooves around her, my toungue begging for entrance and suddenlt the door opened. I was snapped out of my euphoria by the sound of a throat clearing. we both pulled away and looked to see Spike closing the doors to the barn.

"Don't stop on my account." he said as he came closer. I took his words and re entered the make out that meand Photo Finish had started. That night was probably the greatest of my life, I had never felt so loved or made so much of it.

PRESENT TIME

"Mom, mom, why did you stop after you said'That and I am starving and I could use a bit of love.'?"

Chrysalis just laid there eye twitching with a weird smile on her face not moving even to the small pushes Frame Rate was applying trying to get her attention.

"Mom, are you okay?" he was getting a bit woorried and bolted out of the room and toward the front lawn where Spike was just getting back. "Dad! Mom has this weird look on her face and wont move!" he was clearly scared as he ran around the dragon.

"Show me." Spike said in a panic as he follow Frame Rate to Chryssys room. Spiked stared at the face she was making and looked down to Frame Rate. "Tell your mother to come here and take Fire Flower to a friends for the night." hesaid his ees expresing the urgency as Frame Rate ran.

After a few moment Photo finish had come carrying a box labeled 'A little bit of love face' "Ready?" Photo asked as she went into the room.

"Yea." he followed after taking a deep breathe and going in to get the job done, an maybe recieve a few.
