Peach’s Farm- Queen Chrysalis

We rested in the cool grasses, nestled in the shade of the peach trees, a cool breeze wafting the scent of ripe peaches against our nostrils. The Peach twins and other foals played a game of tag a few rows down from us, their father, Mr. Dust, watched over them. The few other adults that had escaped from the town were dispersed around the orchard. Some had already made their way to the barn to sleep in the hayloft, while others levitated cool glasses of peach smoothies or peach lemonade. Many of the pegasi had pulled together clumps of clouds, and relaxed up above us, tails sometimes hanging over the edge and blowing in the breeze. I closed my eyes and listened in to the stallions talking a few trees down from mine, where Shiny, Fire and Lucky had settled in.

“So what is with this relationship you seem to have with the Queen?” Fire asked, adjusting his position slightly. “I mean, it’s not every day you see a pony who well, actually likes changelings,” he whispered.

Lucky snorted, “I don’t see what the big deal is. So they can change into whatever you or they want. That just seems more of a turn off than a turn on really.”

Shiny chuckled. “Well actually I don’t really know. Back during Princess Cadence and Shining Armor’s wedding, I was of course excited to see them get married. My sister was practically bouncing even more than Pinkie around my brother, parents and I in her enthusiasm when Princess Cadence came into the room and began her walk down the aisle. Then, just as they were about to begin the wedding vows, the real Princess Cadence and Twilight rushed in and revealed what had happened.”

“And that is when Chrysalis changed into her changeling form?” Fire asked.

“Yep, with a big pillar of green flames firing up into the sky. Her chitin practically glowing, wings spread wide, sharp toothed grin, and then that laugh,” Shiny sighed. “As she revealed her plan, my heart pumped wildly, mostly in fear at the time as I didn’t know what in the hay was going to happen to us. Would we all become dinner for her and her changelings? Would the element bearers save us? Could Princess Celestia beat her? I watched with the rest in pure shock when Celestia was defeated, tip of her horn blackened and smoking.”

“And then the bearers of Harmony ran to save the day, failed, and eventually the power of love between Shining Armor and Princess Cadence sent them flying off, saving us all,” Lucky grumbled.

“Hey, who’s telling this story?” Shiny said. “Yeah that is pretty much what happened. But before Twilight and her friends were captured, Chrysalis and her changelings escorted the rest of us wedding guests to a vacant room a few doors down. A few of the more prominent guests like Prince Blueblood and Fancy Pants were put into those slimy green pods right away, while the rest of us were just watched over by her changelings. One stood close to my family, and just the structure of their form was fascinating.”

“Was it Chrysalis who watched over your family?” Fire asked.

“No, but she was in the room for some time. There was a few moments when she stood by the window, hooves up on the ledge looking down at the chaos outside. The sun was just in the right position outside to make her mane practically glow. Her chitin even had a brilliant teal-black hue to it from the sun. But it was the look on her face that intrigued me the most. Sure there was a smile of triumph, but in her eyes I saw a look of tremendous relief. Her shoulders lowered as if a tremendous weight had been lifted from her.”

“Yes that is exactly how I was feeling,” Chrys said with a sigh, our ears twitching. “I was thinking ‘everything will be good now. My changelings will have plenty to eat, we can grow to be stronger and have more eggs at a time to make our kind stronger than we ever have been. Through the love these ponies possess, we’ll never have to worry about starving again.”

I sighed, I could imagine how that would be. To finally have your dreams come true, see the bright future ahead and the harshness of the past drifting away like sand in the wind. “I hadn’t even realized anypony was watching me, thought they would be too scared too,” Chrys said and chuckled. “Oh if only my plan could have worked!”

“That was when one of her changelings flew into the room, and told her the element bearers had been captured before they could reach their elements,” Shiny went on, and I opened my eyes slightly, watching and listening as he continued. “She left the room then, brushing by my family and me as she left. Her tail hitting me in the face as she passed, I breathed in the scent of her and found I kind of liked it.”

“You liked how she smelled?” Lucky sneered, wrinkling his nose and raising one eyebrow.

“Yes, yes I did. Kind of a mix of cantaloupe and dark chocolate, with a hint of rose.”

“Well that is an interesting mixture of scents,” Fire said. “What happened next?”

“Not much more than everypony already knows. Thinking she had won, she started to gloat, of course we didn’t see this, being in the other room, but when the power of Shining Armor and Princess Cadences love passed through the walls and hit the changelings watching over us, we watched as the lucky ones were pushed out the window and out away from Canterlot. A good number of them though, maybe twenty, hit the walls instead. A few of them died instantly from the crushing weight of the barrier. The others well, they were injured badly enough they couldn’t escape what some of the angry guests did to them.” He shuddered.

“Ponies did something that horrible?” Fire asked, and Lucky snorted at him.

“Why so surprised Fire? They wanted to suck us dry of our love and take our land for their own. I’m sure they would have done the same in our horseshoes,” Lucky said, crossing his front hooves.

“That doesn’t mean they deserved what happened to them,” Shiny said, glaring at Lucky. “All that blood, I doubt the castle servants were able to get it all out of the tile floor later. And watching those bright blue eyes go dark, their screams of agony… I’ve never seen other ponies be so barbaric.” Shiny sighed, lowering his ears and digging at the grass with one hoof. “I left the room, not wanting to see anymore, and stepped quietly into the other. A few changelings had not made it through the windows in there as well, though I breathed a sigh of relief on seeing their Queen had not been one of those unlucky ones. At least the ponies in here, being mostly Twilight and her friends, along with Shining Armor, Cadence, and Princess Celestia, were not as cruel. Guards were brought in to grab the changelings that had only minor injuries and take them to the dungeons.”

“My poor little changelings,” Chrys sighed. “It was all my fault they had such disastrous ends. Very few of those put in the dungeons did I ever see again. A large part of that because those of us that did make it out were recovering and had not the strength to send a rescue team.” She mentally shuddered. “I don’t even want to know how those ponies killed the ones that didn’t make it out.”

I nodded, and here I thought the ponies were supposed to be the good guys. But then in war, who can really be a good guy? War takes the good and corrupts them, to where they are never quite the same again.

“After the wedding,” Shiny said, and I flicked my ears back his way to listen, “my family and I returned to our home, but I couldn’t get the changelings out of my head. Not in the way of most other ponies though. My father wouldn’t let us leave the house for a week, and would have kept us even longer if the milk hadn’t gone bad and we had the need of other groceries as well. Even still, he would ask us questions when we returned that only we would know to make sure a changeling hadn’t captured us while we were out for months later.”

“That was how your father reacted, but how did you react?” Fire said.

Shiny grinned, “By taking a leaf out of Twilight Sparkle’s book, and studying up on the changelings. Of course, there was not much known about them at first. It had been a long time since they had been seen in Equestria after all. But the ones Princess Celestia captured were studied and papers were published about their findings. Every little thing I learned intrigued me more and more. At night, I would dream about the wedding, always seeing their Queen in them and smelling her scent. Seeing the look in her eyes I had seen as she gazed out the window. I knew I had to do something.”

Lucky yawned and rested his head against his forelegs. “Shiny, you are one crazy unicorn. But all of that still doesn’t explain why you are so… infatuated with her.”

“I guess… part of it was her scent,” Shiny said twitching his ears, “and that I really didn’t see in her what everypony was making her out to be. Nopony had died from the invasion, but many of her changelings did. I had to know what everypony seemed to ignore, and I found that when I finally found their home.”

“And what’s that?” Fire said.

“That they are more like us than most ponies want to admit. They care for their families, their children, their friends, just as much as we do. All many of them want is to be able to live, grow, and feel love.”

“Them? Feel love?” Lucky snorted. “Only the love they steal from us. How can creatures that feed off the love of others feel any true love of their own? It’s preposterous.”

“He’s right, unfortunately. At least when it comes to true love. We don’t have the capacity for it,” Chrys sighed. I closed my eyes and shook my head.

“How can you really believe that?” I whispered. “Did you feel nothing, when Shiny kissed us?”

“I felt surprise!” She snorted. “But besides that? No of course not. And neither did you. Don’t fool yourself into thinking you did, as it is impossible.”

“Impossible things happen every day,” I pointed out. “Why not us being able to love?”

“Because if we could love, it would have happened already!”

“Not necessarily. Perhaps you just never met the right pony or changeling?”

“Would you just give up on the thought? I’m tired of arguing about it.”

I grinned. “That’s because you know I am right.”

“Believe that all you want, not going to change things.”

“So you would rather let Lucky be right about us.”

“In this instance, yes. As much as I’d love to snap that smug little neck of his, we are not capable of love. It is our curse.”

I sighed and shook my head. There was no point in arguing with her on it. “So we smell like cantaloupe, dark chocolate and a hint of rose,” I said and grinned.

“Better than what some of those ponies smell like, bleh,” Chrys sneered.

“You are wrong Lucky,” Shiny said, and I returned my attention back to the stallions. “It might be buried deep in them, but I can see it.”

“Keep dreaming lovercolt,” Lucky said and sighed. “Besides, why would she want you when she can have anypony else she wants?”

“Lucky! That’s not very nice to say!” Fire chided him, but Lucky just shrugged.

“Sorry to be harsh but it’s true. She’s a Queen. She’d probably rather be with a prince, or a princess’s consort. I hear she and Shining Armor got pretty close when she was disguised as Cadence,” he grinned.

“Well, maybe she just likes Shiny things?” Fire said and Lucky laughed.

“You know, that would make sense. Might explain why she chose you to come with her on this quest,” Lucky laughed pointing a hoof at Shiny. “Yes, she likes Shiny things, like a ridiculous crow or raven.”

I glared at him. Really, comparing us to some bird? I snorted. Just because the last two stallions we had outside the hive contact with had similar names didn’t mean anything, did it?

“Well being a Queen, royalty, we do like our shiny baubles,” Chrys said chuckling. “I hadn’t even made that connection between the two stallions. Interesting idea. Wonder what other stallions might have similar names?”

I sighed and shook my head. “What, you plan on gathering them all up and putting them in a giant jewelry box?”

“Not a bad idea, let’s do it!”

“It was a joke Chrys,” I said and sighed, listening as she giggled. What was with us today? Our emotions seemed all over the place. I took a deep breath and waved a hoof in front of my face. The breeze was still flowing, but it seemed to be getting hotter every second. My flank started to itch, and I rubbed it against the grass trying to scratch the itch, but it just seemed to make things worse.

“Ooooh it seems you are about to experience something new,” Chrys chuckled and I just shook my head, panting a little.

“What the hay you talking about?” I growled softly, continuing to wave a hoof in front of my face but it did nothing to alleviate the heat. I groaned as the itch on my flank grew worse, moving lower as it started to itch underneath my tail as well. “Ugh, what is with this itch?” I said and paused as the stallions stopped talking to look over at me.

“You okay Chryssy?” Shiny asked, while Fire and Lucky sniffed the air, and grinned at each other.

“No, I’m itching like crazy!” I said and stood to scratch myself against the peach tree, rubbing against it hard enough that a few fell down and hit me on the head. I rubbed the sore spots they hit.

“I think I’m going to turn in, how about you Fire?” Lucky said, ears twitching as he continued to grin at me.

“Yeah, that sounds like a good idea,” Fire said.

“What? You guys aren’t going to help her?” Shiny asked, turning back to them.

“Haven’t you ever been at home when your uh… mother started getting a little antsy Shiny?” Lucky asked, and Shiny shook his head.

“Not really. She does have her times when she would get upset easily, but father would just send Velvet Beat and me off to do some camping or to visit relatives, claiming she just needed a break.”

Fire grinned and chuckled. “That would explain it then. Should we tell him?” he said, turning to Lucky.

“I think he’d have more fun finding out on his own,” Lucky said. “Especially with how he feels.”

I looked at the two of them, bewildered. What in the hay were they hinting about? What was wrong with me, and why would Shiny have fun… oh. No nonono.

“I was wondering when you would figure it out,” Chrys said and cackled. “It happens to all of us mares after all, even the changelings. Though it happens a tad less often for us than it does for them. Didn’t you experience anything like it as a human? After all, we are all mammalian are we not? We all have our heat cycles,” she giggled.

“Well yeah,” I hissed softly. “But as human we bled and got cramps. Nothing like this ridiculous heat!” I gulped. “How, how often does it happen?”

“Well that depends on what you do about it,” Chrys said, and I scowled at the glee in her voice. “If we just put up with it, then it lasts a few days then we get a break for a few weeks and it returns. But, if we can catch us a stallion,” she chuckled, and I glance over at Shiny, Fire, and Lucky, “then with their help, we can get rid of the heat and itch far more rapidly. Oh, this will be fun! Which one shall we cuddle with? Fire Stick probably couldn’t keep up with us, being injured, but either of the others…”

“I thought you hated Lucky,” I said, hearing Shiny groan, ears down halfway as he glared at the other two.

“Why are you two being so secretive?” he asked.

“Because what we know you should have figured out long ago. It’s not our fault your father babied you,” Lucky said, his grin growing wider if possible.

“Nor that you didn’t see it in any other pony mare you have been around,” Fire continued. “Don’t make us spell it out for you. If you really think about it, you will get it.”

“What is it though?” Shiny yelled, throwing his front hooves up into the air.

“You’re right, I do,” Chrys said, “but putting him in his place with us would be entertaining. But maybe that can wait for next time. Our little Shiny is as innocent as they come! Especially at his age. How he has avoided the subject this long, I guess only he and his father know. Let’s enlighten him shall we?”

“If it will get rid of this itch and heat,” I moaned, “I’ll do anything!”

“That’s my girl! Now, go get him!” Chrys said, chortling. I nodded and looked up, breathing heavily, over at the stallions again. Lucky caught my eye for a moment and he gave a sly grin.

“Well, you two have fun! Come on Fire,” Lucky said. Fire Stick nodded and the two of them walked off toward the barn.

“Can you believe them?” Shiny said pointing a hoof their way, then turned back to look at me. “Woah,” he exclaimed, taking a step back as he took in my already sweat soaked body and grimace as I tried not to itch against the tree anymore. Even I could smell the scent coming off my body now, and it was similar to what Shiny had described earlier: cantaloupe mixed with dark chocolate and a hint of rose. Only the rose smell was stronger now, an almost sickly scent.

I saw him lick his lips, eyelids fluttering as he took in the scent, nostrils flaring. “Uh… maybe I better go join them,” he said, splaying his ears back against the back of his head and giving me a wide grin.

“You really want to do that?” I asked, taking a step forward and placing a hoof to his chin. “Come on Shiny, be a stallion!” I purred. Woah, did that come from me?

“You might be… inexperienced yourself,” Chrys said chuckling, “but our body has a lot of experience. It knows how to get what it needs.” Feeling the heat seem to increase, I couldn’t help but admit she was right. Oh colt was this going to be awkward.

Shiny gulped, staring up into my eyes, and shook his head. His eyes strayed to my tail, which was swishing back and forth like a whip. A strong musky smell permeated the air, and Chrys chuckled.

“Yes young stallion, you finally seem to have figured it out.” I leaned forward and pressed my lips to his, moaning a little as the heat increased, and my backside grew moist. Shiny pulled away for a moment, but was still close enough our muzzles touched.

“Chryssy,” he said softly, and I grinned at him.

“Yes, my little Shiny?”

“Do you… do you think before we go further, you can pick another shape besides my sister? I really don't want to have that kind of memory of my….”

“First time?” I said and giggled, Chrys giggling as well.

“Yeah,” he said, and let out a little snort. So cute! “I could never face her again if we… you know.”

“Very well handsome,” I said, giving him a little peck on the cheek. “Whatever you want.” I took a glance around us, to see the foals had left for the barn as well. Nopony else was around. Must have smelled me from a mile away or something and hightailed it out of there. Still, would probably be best if we found a more secluded spot. “Follow me,” I said, swatting him playfully with my tail as I turned around.

He gasped, getting a big breath full of my scent. “Oh look at you, little seductress,” Chrys cooed. “Let’s find a good spot to go for a roll.” We totally had him now, as he followed us farther into the orchard like a puppy on a leash. When the Peach’s barn and household were out of sight, a small hill separating us from them, I closed my eyes and let the flames cover me, to reveal the pretty little yellow and teal mare I had come up with the other day. After all, he had seemed to really like her.

“Ah Soaring Song,” Shiny said, a goofy grin on his face. “That will work.”

I giggled and wrapped my wings around him, kissing him between the eyes. “I’m glad you like,” I said, and with one wing tucked the piece of bangs over his eyes behind an ear, and with the other wing ran it down his back slowly. Shiny closed his eyes and moaned. Leaning forward, I kissed his left ear, then took it in my mouth, nibbling on it and licking it with my long tongue.

I opened my eyes and looked down at Shiny, wrapped in both of my wings now with his own eyes closed. His lips were just parted, breathing becoming heavier as I continued to nibble on his ear. Closing my mouth around his ear, I began to suck on it, pulling and tugging at it to the moans of Shiny. Mmmm this was fun!

I winced as the itch got worse, and the heat expanded to cover my belly as well. Okay maybe time to hasten things along a little. Putting a hoof around Shiny, I guided us both to the grassy knoll, placing us both on our sides. Shiny grinned up at me, and drew my mouth back to his, kissing me fully. He moaned, pressing himself closer to me and kissing me even deeper.

I opened one eye and looked down, to see his penis had slipped out of its sheath, then looked away again, blushing a little. “Come on, don’t be a filly!” Chrys chided. “Check out his equipment, touch it, play with it, make it yours.” I pulled away from Shiny’s lips for a moment and nodded, taking in a deep breath, before going in for another kiss. I looked back down, and this time admired his beautiful member. It was maybe around eleven inches long, thick and a purple-black color, the tip a bright pink. I lowered one hoof and ran it down his length, making Shiny groan against my lips and his member to pulse at my touch.

Already a few drops of pre cum dripped from the tip. “Chryssy,” Shiny moaned, and moved his kisses from my lips, trailing them down my neck. The heat continued to rise in me with his kisses, hot against my yellow furred flesh. His lips found my teats, and I gasped as he took one in his mouth and nibbled on it, running his hooves down my back as he did so and along the tender muscles of my wings where they connected to my back. Oh this was so good!

I could feel the area between my legs dripping, the wet heat cooling very little with a breeze that brushed against us, touching our sensitive parts and making me shiver a little. Taking a few deep breaths, I turned my attention back to Shiny’s throbbing penis, rubbing it between my front hooves and grinning as it grew fatter and harder with my stimulation. But here I was giving him all this attention, when my own lower body cried for his. I shifted our positions so that my smooth flank was next to his face, and lifted my tail out of the way.

Shiny took a deep breath, closing his eyes as he took in my scent, and licked his lips. “You should lick more than that,” I said, then jolted as he complied, running his tongue against my quivering clitoris. He wrapped his front hooves around my flank and buried his tongue inside of me, my parts winking against his muzzle as he drank in my scent and the fluids leaking out. I moaned as I felt his tongue move around, tickling all my most sensitive parts. “Oh Shiny,” I said, closing my eyes and grinning as his tongue touched everything it could reach, feeling me with sensations I had never had back home. I quivered against him, my body drinking up all the wonderful little touches. With his fore hooves, he moved them from my flank down to my dripping nether’s between my legs, running them over the tender flesh down there.

”Don’t forget to keep giving him attention too,” Chrys said, “the bigger he is, the better it will feel when we get to the best part,” she chuckled. Looking down, I saw his member was pulsing slowly, his two fat balls jiggling as they filled up with sperm, each growing to be almost as big as the peaches around us. I lowered my head and took a deep breath of the strong musky smell coming from them, though there was also a hint of banana, oddly enough. Sticking out my tongue I ran it up then down his length, making him moan with his tongue still deep inside me. I continued, running my tongue over his balls as well and watching as they grew even bigger, his penis even thicker and stiffer.

Pre trickled out of him even more now, and with his ministrations down below my wetness leaked out, covering his hooves and muzzle. We were both probably getting close. I took his member into my hoof and gave the tip of it a good hard lick, making him moan and continue with his tongue with more speed. The pulsing against my hoof of his penis sent shivers through me, and with a lick of my lips, I brought my mouth down around it and took it in, rolling it around on my tongue and enjoying the salty taste of it.

Shiny brought his muzzle up out of me at the new sensations, gasping as I nibbled on it and slowly drew it farther into my mouth. “Oh Chryssy,” he moaned, closing his eyes and licking my juices from his lips and muzzle. “That feels so good.”

“Good, good. Both of you are doing well for your first times,” Chryssy said and chuckled. “But then, you do have me coaching you hmmm?” I’d almost swear she was having more fun with this than we were! Could she even feel all the bodily sensations? Shiny’s tongue as it dove back into us, already an expert at licking our most sensitive spots as we winked against him. The feel of his salty member on our tongue, pulsing and rolling as I took in more and more of him until I felt the tip poke the back of our throat and did my best to ignore the gag reflex. I would have to ask her, next time I had my mouth available.

I sucked on his thick penis, pre trickling down my throat now and tasting better than I had ever imagined. My insides quivered, the heat reaching a crescendo as I moaned around his penis. My heart beat wildly in my chest, and I jumped a little as Shiny took his tongue back out and nipped me lightly on my quivering rump. Mmm getting playful was he? I slowly pulled my head up as his member slid from my mouth, with the tip finally coming out with a little pop. I licked my drool off of it, nibbling it here and there as I did so, until it was drool free. Then turned my attention to his balls again. I licked then vigorously, wrapping my tongue around them and all their heat. Then I pulled my tongue back and gave each a little nip of their own, making him jump a little.

He gave me a side smile, chuckled and nipped me again, only on the opposite rump. “Hmm maybe I will actually keep this stallion. He learns fast, and has his own little… quirks I find quite alluring,” Chrys said. “A good companion on a trip and good at sex? Queenie likes! And now we are very close to the best part. I’m sure you know what to do?” I nod, nipping his penis once more then licking it up and down its length.

“Oh Chryssy,” Shiny moaned, and reached his hooves back to my face, drawing me in for more kisses. I grinned, poking my tongue into his mouth and running it along inside, tasting little bits of my own juices along the edges, as he did the same with his. Pulling away, I roll over so my back is against him, and hike up my tail, revealing my still dripping pussy.

“You know what to do now,” I crooned, pushing against him to where my wetness soaked his chest fur.

“Yes, of course my little buggy,” he teased, his still erect member bouncing against my leg as he reared up and tickled my opening with it, making me groan and a shiver run through me.

“Oh no more teasing, take me Shiny! Come deep inside of me!” I moaned, wiggling my rump as my winking grew more rapid. “I need you!”

“Now that is what I have wanted to hear,” he said and rearing once more, plunged in mid-wink and made me squeak. As his member slowly went deeper he wrapped his hooves around me, burying his face in my wings, nibbling on them as he preened them.

“Oh Shiny,” I moaned, closing my eyes as he sunk deeper, already past halfway. My front legs shivered as I tried to hold up the weight of us both, until Shiny adjusted his hooves to rest around my middle, taking as much of the weight as he could. With a little grunt, the last inch of his penis slipped into me and we stood there for a moment, catching our breath, then with a little grin he pulled out partially and then plunged back in back and forth as I moaned in pleasure. “Just a few more times, I’m almost there,” I yelled feeling the pressure build inside me, my inner folds holding tighter to his penis as I came closer and closer to my climax.

I let out a little scream as I came, my inner folds squeezing his penis as mare juice gushed from between my legs. Taking deep, gasping breaths as my whole body seemed to throb. Shiny came a few moments later, a loud moan in my ear coming from him as ropes and ropes of his seed gushed into my womb, filling it with the hot heat of him and overflowing pass his penis as my womb filled, pouring onto the grass below us. As the lasts drops fell, his now flattened penis slipped from me with a wet plop, swooping back up into his sheath as we both collapsed to the soaked ground, utterly spent.

“Well done, my young Queen,” Chrys said, her voice bright and cheerful. “For your first time, and his, I would say this has been quite the success. Ready for round two?” I let out a little gasp at the thought of going again already, and Chrys just laughed. “Relax, I’m kidding. You two kids just rest up now. Have some cuddle time,” she giggled.

“Well,” Shiny said, stopping to take a few deep breaths, “you feeling better now?”

I glanced down at my body, covered in sweat, sex juices, grass and dirt. There was a feeling of… fullness in me I hadn’t had before, but the heat was gone, as was the itching. I nodded, “yes, much better.”

“Good,” he said and wrapped a hoof around me, hugging me close. “Then I got you just where I want you for now,” he grinned and rested his head against mine.

“Oh really?” I said, raising one eyebrow. “And where would that be?”

“In my hooves of course,” he said. “Even if you were only using me tonight, I wouldn’t have you anyplace else.”

“Aw, well aren’t you sweet,” I crooned, and kissed the tip of his muzzle.

“So, what does this mean for us?”

I sighed, I of course didn’t want to hurt his feelings. If anything, he had become at least a friend if nothing more yet. That’s more than could be said for most ponies I had met so far. But with how Chrys felt on these things, could he ever be more? “I’ll have to get back to you on that.” I said, and leaned back into the grass, looking up into the sky, now scattered with stars. The moon was just beginning to rise, still full for one more night before it would start to wane.

As I thought about my life before now, before coming here, I found Chrys had been right. Things were already beginning to fade. I couldn’t remember my cat’s name, if he could even still be called my cat with my body on Earth being dead. Who had taken him in with me gone? My parents? My best friend? Was he okay? He was an older cat, I’d had him since he was a kitten, and now he was around ten years old. Such a big change would be hard on a cat his age.

Shiny nuzzled my neck, kissing it softly, and I turned my attention back to the present. Yes, Chrys had been right and things were slipping away, but I couldn’t let that bother me. It was going to happen no matter what I did. Better that I focus on the now. We would arrive at Dodge Junction tomorrow, and then take the train to Canterlot. If the track conditions were good, we would be there likely in less than twenty-four hours.

I didn’t have much of a plan yet on how to save Leptostales. Just asking Celestia to let him go would likely not cut it. If he was even still alive. Was my whole quest to be in vain? No, I still could tell her about the mysterious unicorn mare, and the destruction of Hoofville. If she hadn’t already heard about it.

“Chryssy?” Shiny said, and I turned to look at him.

“Yes?”

“I’m glad I didn’t head into the barn with Lucky and Fire,” he grinned, and I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Me too Shiny, me too.”
