Transformation II (First Draft)

“Hah, hah.” I said trying to catch my breath.

The train was so insane that we could not go to the bathroom at all. We stopped at the Crystal Empire and I decided to walk by myself to get some air. Sometimes a girl needs her privacy time and this was a great hour to do this before we go back to hell’s train.

Seriously you would think that Trey would invent more comfortable seats because my back still hurts from rubbing against the metal in the seat. The spot it rubbed at was almost the bottom of my backbone. I did not care because it was covered with my shirt. Besides the ponies would not mind… Wait…

I saw a lot of ponies were crystal, like they were all glazed. I saw some small crystal ponies playing and going past me like I was one of them. I looked around and saw a crystal heart spinning in the bottom center of the tall tower letting out an aura of light around it.

I decided to walk there due to my curiosity. It looked so beautiful and I heard someone clearing her throat making me jump. I turned around and it was a pink Alicorn looking at me like I was intruding on something.

“Who are you?” she asked.

“Um… I am the human Zoey which was turned into a crystal Guardian. My friends and I are going to the Chrysalis Empire for our vacation.” I said.

She smiled, “I know silly. Trey informed me about your visit on the new steam train. Which we are all grateful for.”

‘You call ‘that’ grateful?’ I thought.

“Anyway where are your friends?” she asked.

“Probably puking out their crystal bit.” I said under my breath.

“What was that?”

I cleared my throat, “I mean they are wait for the train to recharge. They are really anxious about going to the Chrysalis Empire.”

She giggled, “Well, let me introduce myself. My name is Princess Cadance rightful ruler and peacemaker of the Crystal Empire.”

“Nice to meet you Cadance.” I said.

“I believe I can see your friends are coming this way.”

“What do you mean-” I was ambushed by Gaitou, Hatchi and Naki by our tickle sneak attack we used to do in middle school.

I could not stop laughing. Even though we were made out of Crystal’s we can still feel ticklish feelings. Finally they stopped and Gaitou lifted me up with his hand to my feet.

“This is what you get for leaving us.” Naki said putting her hands on her hips.

“Why would you leave us and talk to Princess Cadance? Having love issues already?” Hatchi joked.

“Oh god. I hope not!” Gaitou said.

We all laughed it was a good thing that we are just enjoying ourselves to the fullest.

Then Cadance cleared her throat to get our attention, “Well it seems everyone is here. I would like to tell you to have a great time at the Chrysalis Empire.”

“Before we go… I have a question.” Hatchi asked.

“Yes what was it?” she asked.

“Why are there barely any changelings at Ponyville, Crystal Empire or at Canterlot?” he asked.

I wondered about that too. Were they being treated alright with the new law installed? I was curious to find out what the Princess of the Crystal Empire would like to say about this.

Cadance sighed, “We have not seen them ever since the law was passed. I mean we see some here and there, but not around the Empire or the small towns like Ponyville. So it is a mystery.”

“So you have no idea?” I asked.

She shook her head, “I even tried to welcome the changelings to the Empire with a banner which is still being hung up at the train station.”

“Perhaps they are in disguise. They are called Changelings for a reason.” Gaitou said.

“Yes that maybe true, but there would be duplicates of the same pony roaming around and they do not was to cause mischief.” She said.

We were silent for about several minutes and when Naki decided to open her mouth. I mean I love as a friend, but when she ask about personal questions. I tend to get annoyed by her attitude.

“I have a question to ease the atmosphere of the conversation.” She said.

“Ask away.” She said.

I braced for impact. ‘Please do not be inappropriate about this.” I thought.

“Your husband is the leader of the Royal Guards right?” she asked.

“Yes that is true and he is a lovable husband.” Cadance said.

“So is he good in bed?” Naki said

Oh my fucking god… I knew it. I knew she was going to say something like that. Now she is going to consider her as a weirdo.

“Why that is odd for you to ask, but I would have to say…” she stopped and levitated Naki’s ear and my ear to her mouth. Then she continued, “He is actually very good in bed. If you want the details I can give this piece of paper and we can mail each other.”

She let us go and Gaitou and Hatchi were confused, but were talking like best of buds and then I heard the announcement: ‘The Train is leaving in fifteen minutes! I repeat the Train is leaving in fifteen minutes.’

“Alright guys lets go. Next stop the Chrysalis Empire.” I said.

“Do we have to go?” Hatchi groaned.

I put my hands on my hips, “Now come on it is only about two hours away.”

Naki put her arm around Hatchi’s shoulder, “Besides it is a straight shot. No more curves!”

Gaitou dragged Hatchi towards the Train station while Cadance gave us the slip of paper that had her address on it and she winked.

“Good bye Cadance. Have fun with Shining Armor!” Naki waved at Cadance.

She waved back and giggled, “I will!”

Before I turned my back, I saw a white Unicorn with a shield as his cutie mark walk right beside her and gave her a kiss. That made me smile and I ran up to Gaitou and did the same. I kissed his warm lips and at first he was surprised, but he kissed back.

“What’s gotten into you?” he asked.

“I think this place would be great for a vacation just the two of us.” I said.

I heard something like a jet coming towards me and it was Trey. By the time I turned around he was coming at me full speed and I blacked out.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I was dreaming about the convention on where I got knocked out. Some more memories were coming in and they made me change the way I think of Bronies now. I was knocked out because I knocked myself out. When everybody was leaving out of the panel I tripped on the chair which was not moved by anybody and I hit my head on the top metal piece of the chair. It was my own mistake. I saw several glimpse of Trey picking me up and taking me to the first aid area. Then it faded.

I awoke at a dark place, but when my eyes adjust it was a train station. I looked up at the sky and it was covered in dark vines. I saw the floor was pure black wood and I saw Trey looking at me which made me jump out of my seat.

“What is everybody and pony making me want to jump?!” I shouted.

“Glad to see you are awake and well.” Trey said.

I got into a sitting position and sighed, “Where are we?”

“We are the Chrysalis Empire and yes I know everything is all dark and that is how the changelings like it.”

“Why are you here anyway?” I asked.

“Queen Chrysalis found something and I am here to check it out.”

I need to tell him about that convention, “Trey. Do you remember about going to a Convention at Japan?”

“Why yes. I told Luna about this. Why you asked?”

“You helped a girl who was knocked out and took her to the first aid area.”

“Did Luna tell you this?”

“Yes she did and I happen to be the girl that you were carrying.”

He paused and was zoned out thinking about what I just said, “So you are the girl who was knocked out and I carried you to the first aid center?”

I nodded, “It made me change my mind about Bronies.”

“So I finally get to meet the girl who I saved. How does it feel find out?” he asked.

“It makes me happy and makes me want to do this.”

I leaned in and pecked his cheek and I jumped out of my seat.

I leaned in smiling, “Thank you, Trey for what you did.”

He was stunned and was overwhelmed by the peck on the cheek.

I winked and giggled. Then I made my way towards my friends and was waving goodbye to a stunned Trey.
