Princess and Queen: Mother and Daughter

-Meanwhile in Appleloosa-

It was a busier day than usual in the town square, it was the annual market day so everypony was gathered selling their goods hoping to make enough bits to last them through the year. There was a wide variety of vegetables to cater to everypony's taste, everypony except one that is; she had a bright green coat, an amber colored mane and tail, and amethyst eyes that in the right light shone like the actual gem. "All this food and nothing to eat....." She thought bitterly to herself, but before she could curse everypony under Celestia's sun out, a voice called out to her.

"Hey Amber Lager! I haven't seen much of you around town recently and wanted to make sure that you were alright." Caramel said from his spot in front of a nearby store. The mare flinched and her wings slightly fluttered in annoyance since she LOATHED that nickname, only reason she had it was because of the color of her mane and tail plus the unfortunate fact her cutie mark was a drinking mug.

"Now Caramel, you know how much I hate that nickname, my name is Petal Thorn for Faust's sake." The pegasus said trotting over to him. "I have been doing alright, managing barely enough to get by since hospital bills have sapped most of my income from when I got deathly ill."

Caramel nodded. "Hospital bills can be a pain in the flank, that's for sure, say I was wondering if you were doing anything this weekend? I was thinking about us going to Manehatten to catch a show, if you are interested that is...."

Petal's jaw dropped. "Is he really emitting love for me?..... I would love to, but unfortunately I have to head out of town on some private business tonight and I don't know when I will be back. To be perfectly honest, that is the only reason I am in town...getting supplies."

An impulse idea sprung into Caramel's brain, desperate to find a solution. "Ok new plan, I have to go over to Braeburn's tonight so how about you come over for dinner before you leave? That way I atleast get to spend some time with you and get to know you better, sound good?"

"Umm...yeah that will work, I will meet you in an hour." Petal the turned around to head back to the vendors in an attempt to end the conversation.

"Hey Petal..." The pegasus stopped and looked back towards Caramel, who was surprisingly close to her muzzle. "Thanks for giving me a chance...." He closed his eyes, tilted his head, and kissed her right on the muzzle. The world went to stars for her as she returned the kiss and her wings flared, enjoying the taste of his pure love for her.

"Anyways.." Petal said breaking the kiss. "I will see you in a bit." She then took off out of town and back to her home, it was nothing more than a single room shack with a small garden but it beat sleeping on rocks like she had been recently. She locked the door and closed the curtains before a green fire surrounded her, revealing her to be none other than Queen Chrysalis.

"That foolish colt has so much pure love for me I am stuffed! Perhaps I should go to "entertain" him a bit since I have come across so little free love recently I am surprised the First Mother hasn't sent the Grim Reaper to collect me. It is a shame really, a queen can collect love but not love back, if I didn't know any better I would swear I feel a small amount of pity for him. After all, that love was on par with Shining's for Cadenza...Or maybe, perhaps I need to start thinking differently, changelings adapt and I haven't done any. Oh great, now I am starting to think like one of them ponies, this just makes me hate them even more."

She then quit having a mental disagreement by sleeping on her choice, and when she woke up she disguised herself and made a beeline for Braeburn's and didn't leave until after nightfall plastered from being love drunk. "Perhaps.." *hic* "Perhaps a quick nap is in order...." She passed out midtrot and didn't wake up until the following afternoon, which only enraged her. "Confound that blasted pony, if I was at full strength and had time to waste I would trap him in a feeding pod until I drain him dry, but now I am nearly a full day behind. Luckily I know how to get to the meeting place so I can just teleport to the spot."

In a flash of green fire she teleported to the spot, however greeting her was the last queen she wanted to see and the very one she wanted dead. "Welcome Queen Chrysalis, we have been expecting you, right this way please." Flurry Heart said with such cheerfulness Chrysalis suddered, but, step by step, she silently followed Flurry into the cave while thinking of how many ways to kill the Alicorn before her.
