Cissy and Me

“Please! I won't ask for anything else ever!” Cozy Glow pouted on the dark cold stone floor of the hidden underground cavern, her tiny pink hooves tapping on the ground pathetically.

Her scarlett hues glowed a vibrant shade in the dim darkness of the hideout, her turquoise blue locks were damp as her coat and twice as dirty. The child's lower lip pouting outward while her eyes doubled in size.

“No, you said that last time! Yet here you are bugging me again!!” Tirek groaned in near defeat of this annoying brat's constant flow of insistent whining.

“But we're bestest friends and friends help each other!” Cozy let the warm tears flow down her round cheeks softly, breaking into a series of sobs.

“I'm Lord Tirek, friend to none!” The centaur lifted high to his mighty hooves brandishing a large clawed hand towards the child threateningly.

A loud sigh echoed from deep inside the many dark chambers of the cave, the feminine hoofsteps of a creature coming ever closer. Long sickly strands of mane cascaded down a twisted black frame as dark green eyes glowed like burning coals in the abyss.

Chrysalis former queen of the changelings, stepped forward into the dim light of the main room. Her large white fangs curling into a wicked sneer as her muzzle scrunched into a annoyed formation.

“Why are you bickering with a child!?” Chrysalis gave a loud hiss towards the centaur in anger.

“I'm not bickering, I'm trying to strike fear into her SOUL!!” Tirek let his voice boom loudly in absolute rage as the whole cavern shook wildly.

Cozy simply gazed up to her friend with a shocked look that soon formed into a fit of joyous giggles. Her tiny hooves clapping together in beaming happiness as her tail swished in place excitedly.

“Awesome, do that again!” Cozy squeed.

“Yes, I can see that working.” Chrysalis rolled her eyes.

“I will not take this abuse, I shall be feared!” Tirek punched a large hole into the stone wall at his right side, stomping off into the distance grumbling under his breath.

“What is it you want...brat!?” Chrysalis snorted hatefully.

“Feared!” Tirek billowed from beside the entrance of his private chambers, soon vanishing within with a snarl.

Cozy tapped her hooves together softly as her eyes averted away from the changeling towering over her. The child choosing her words carefully feeling her ears fold down out of slight fear, Chrysalis tapping her hoof on the ground waiting in annoyance.

“Um, well Ms. Chrysalis…” Cozy spoke in a delicate whisper.

“Speak up you simpleton!” The queen hissed with a snap of her jaws.

“I just wanted to maybe go out and commit a robbery with somepony!” Cozy lifted her hooves to shield herself in terror.

“Oh! Well ok.” The changeling spoke calmly with a flaunt of her slender hoof.

“Huh, you want to help me?” Cozy lowered her hooves in surprise her eyes beaming with a odd sense of glee towards the creature.

“Sure sounds fun, besides this cave is driving me crazy!” Chrysalis gave a loud sigh aloud the child fluttering into the air on tiny wings giggling.

“I know right!? But Tirek was just being a complete killjoy!” Cozy suddenly landed on the shoulder of the changeling, who surprisingly just gave a hearty giggle.

“Ha, males tend to ruin everything anyways! We'll just have a ladies night.” Chrysalis let a sly smirk form across her muzzle softly.

“After robbing some ponies, can we go out for ice cream!?” Cozy bit her lower lip in anticipation.

“As long as they're buying!” Chrysalis replied wickedly both exploding into a loud fit of giggles that echoed throughout the large empty hideout.

Tirek slowly peeked his head out of his doorway watching the females leave the area, a look of relief forming across his face as everything was at last quiet.

The pale blue moon glowed brightly in the starless night sky above, basking the land of Equestria below in a protective veil of moonlight. Cozy Glow fluttered out of a nearby bush excitedly, rushing over to the empty open dirt road leading to Canterlot.

“Gee golly, I sure hope we'll find some poor unfortunate souls tonight!” Cozy snickered in delight as she rubbed her hooves together deviously.

“Darling, we must choose our targets carefully.” Rarity stepped out of the brush elegantly with a seductive sway of her rump.

“Awww, I wanted to just thrash them!” Cozy crossed her hooves in a pout.

A flash of fiery green magic engulfed the unicorn as it shifted back to the withered frame of Chrysalis. Her dark green eyes burning into the soul of the annoyingly upbeat child sternly, the tiny pegasus quickly plopping onto the road cutely upon her rump.

“If you're with me child, you'll learn how to use grace to annihilate your enemies!” Chrysalis gave a raised brow towards the child.

“The boring way?” Cozy gave an eyeroll.

“Brute force is used by fools, unable to create a decent plan.” Chrysalis lowered in front of the child locking eyes with her silently.

“Grace is used by the intelligent and beautiful, use it correctly and your foes won't know what's wrong until they're dead.” Chrysalis gently lifted the child's chin up with her hoof, flashing a oddly genuine smile to the young pegasus.

“You think I'm really…” Cozy began to ask with a tiny blush.

“Grr, I meant that about myself! If you're traveling with me, you'll do as I command!” The changeling hissed in sadistic anger.

“Aye, Chrissy!” Cozy giggled lifting her hoof up in respect to her elder.

“Don't call me that fool!” Chrysalis glared as the child quickly pounced on her backside for a easy ride down the path, the queen allowing it for the time being.

“How about Big Bad Bug!?” Cozy quipped.

“No.” Chrysalis sighed walking off into the horizon with her new charge.

“Big Momma C!?” The child spoke cutely.

“Shut up!” Both began to vanishing into the distance.

"Oh I know, Cissy!"

That Escalated Quickly

“Golly, be a shame if somepony took advantage of this situation Cissy!” Cozy gave a delightful giggle into the crisp night air devilishly.

Her devious scarlett hues locking on a broken down caravan stuck in a ditch on the side of the road, a dim orange light of a dwindling candle flickering weakly out the back window. Cozy felt a wild chill if excitement shivering up her spine and out through her hooves.

“Yes it would be quite a shame, mwahaha!” Chrysalis giggled with malicious intent.

“Heeheehee!” Cozy complimented the Queen's laughter with her own.

“Silence you!” Chrysalis quickly hushed the child in anger.

Both wicked creatures crawling closer in the night to their prey, nearly slithering on their bellies much like the snakes they were. Chrysalis hiding in a nearby bundle of leaves on the ground, her glowing green eyes investigating the shamble of a caravan carefully.

“You'll go knock on the door and learn a few things about the owner, try and find a weakness!” Chrysalis licked her lips with a long serpentine tongue.

“Why me!?” Cozy snorted.

A flash of green molded the changeling into a glaring copy of the small child, her tiny hoof lifting upward as she smacked the filly on the back of the head hard.

“Because I said so, fool!” The faux filly shifted back into the changeling swiftly, the tiny pegasus rubbing her head gently in pain.

“Oww, ok eesh!” Cozy blew a small raspberry towards Chrysalis, galloping over to the caravan door in a panic her little hoof frantically tapping the wooden frame.

“Help, I'm being chased by a scary hideous feral changeling!” Cozy put on her most innocent of voices, covering her eyes with tiny hooves in horror.

“Hiss!” Chrysalis gave a angry reply from the forest floor in the black abyss.

“Um, on second thought it might of been a pretty feral changeling…” Cozy corrected herself between sobbing as the door rustled loudly before swinging open.

A pastel blue unicorn opening her door wide to the frightened child on her back steps, her platinum blonde mane a mess cascading down her backside as if jolted out of a deep sleep. Her violet eyes casting a worried gaze onto the child as she kneeled down to her level, wrapping her in a warm hug to calm her nerves.

“You poor dear, fear not The Great and Powerful Trixie shall offer you shelter for the night!” Trixie gave a warm smile to the filly who lifted her head up with tear soaked eyes.

“Gee, that's super nice of you ma'am! Is there enough room?” Cozy sniffled her ears folded down in a nervous manner.

“Of course, my friend Starlight Glimmer should be here in the morrow to help with the busted wheel!” Trixie giggled shifting to the side offering the child entrance into the warm orange light.

“Starlight Glimmer!? You must be a superhero pony to know such a powerful unicorn like her!” Cozy squished her cheeks together with her tiny hooves in absolute awe, the unicorn before her giggling proudly with a bright pink blush.

“Superhero, goodness no!? Great perhaps, powerful most definitely!” Trixie flaunted a tiny hoof in front of her obviously flattered, Cozy ready to strike upon her weakness of pride.

“Since you're sooo powerful, could you help me with my lost dolly? I left her out in the ditch over there, but it's ever so dark and I'm frightened!” Cozy flashed pathetically oversized eyes to her victim in sadness.

“Trixie would love too!” The unicorn trotted out into the night air proudly, her mane swishing excitedly with each step she took.

Trixie narrowed her eyes into the inky abyss trying with all her might to spot a toy among the brush and debris. Cozy rolling her eyes sarcastically as her hind hooves bucked the caravan door shut with an icy click.

“Trixie doesn't see anything!” The mare spoke with squinted eyes the tiny pegasus walking up from behind smiling sadistically.

“Oh it's there, you might even say right in front of YOU!” Cozy burst out in maniacal laughter, her right eye twitching with insidious glee.

“Trixie still sees zip…” Trixie spoke in a oblivious manner, Cozy gazing towards her in shock.

No devouring came from the abyss nor did the mighty screech of a changeling roar. The night simply stayed calm and silent, the unicorn turning to face the child in a awkward silence.

“Uhhh, look Nightmare Moon!” Cozy screamed in absolute awe the mare quick to look behind her with a startled expression.

Cozy had to act quick on her hooves, grabbing a large stone rock from the shadows of the road and fluttering high into the sky. Lifting the blunt object she struck Trixie across the back of the head hard, the unicorn turning around unfazed as the stone crumbled away into fine dust in her mane.

“That was just a ball of very soft soil.” Trixie gave a sudden sneeze, flopping her ears side to side with a tiny pop.

Cozy pouted in growing anger as her once bouncy curls were now tied into tight knots around a tree limb. Her little body hanging a few feet off the ground suspended in embarrassment.

“You hit her with dirt?” Chrysalis trotted out of the darkness with a loud snort of amusement from her nostrils.

“Where were you!?” Cozy crossed her hooves over her chest in anger.

“Oh, I spotted a few bat ponies snogging in the woods...their love was delicious!” Chrysalis licked her lips triumphantly.

“Awesome, I just got steamed rolled!” Cozy pushed her lower lip out embarrassed, her cheeks burning a bright red color.

“Mmmm, yeah.” Chrysalis used her magic to snap the branch with ease, the child plopping onto the ground with a thud, the limb still intertwined in her mane.

“Let's just go home!” Cozy yelled out towards the queen with a cracking voice, her tiny hooves trembling in place as tears began to swell in her eyes.

“Are you crying!?” Chrysalis scrunched her muzzle in utter disgust.

“No, I just have dirt in my eyes!” Cozy placed both hooves over her eyes simply exploding out into a series of tiny sobs.

“C’mon suck it up…” Chrysalis groaned watching the child continue to cry in the cold dark night.

“I'm...I'm... trying…” Cozy let the tears fall onto the damp dirt in two streams of pale blue tears.

“Grrr, do I go slaughter her!?” Chrysalis snapped in annoyed rage towards the child who gazed up to her pathetically with folded down ears.

“You don't want too... you're just trying to cheer me...up!” Cozy pouted with tear soaked cheeks.

“No, I really do want to annihilate her…” Chrysalis groaned.

“You're lying!” Cozy began to kick her hooves in the dirt angrily.

“Stop that!” The changeling spoke sternly.

“No!” Cozy blew a large raspberry.

“I swear you'll force me…” Chrysalis narrowed her fiery green eyes threateningly.

“FORCE YOU TO WHAT, YOU DUMB BUG!!” Cozy felt her eyes twitching as her sorrow evaporated almost suddenly, replaced by gritted teeth and a frazzled mane.

Chrysalis swiftly flipping the filly over into the air with her glowing green magic, freezing the brat in place before positioning her onto the changeling’s lap with a thud. As if in slow motion firmly spanking the child on the rump, with three firm smacks of the hoof.

“...” Cozy tilted her head up in surprise.

“...” Chrysalis quickly pushing the brat off her to the ground hard as if shocked by her own actions.

“You... SPANKED ME!?” Cozy screamed engulfed in unquenchable rage.

“It just happened!?” Chrysalis shrugged confused.

A small pink bolt of lightning striking into her like a blur, as Cozy tackled the changeling to the dirt below. Wasting no time in biting and smacking the elder creature with her hooves, bloodlust dripping from her very soul.

Tirek sat at a rotting wooden table dazing off into space of another uneventful evening, a plate of burnt cookies he tried to bake smoking in front of him. The sound of hoofsteps coming ever closer, causing his ears to perk up with interest.

“How was the…” Tirek raised a brow confused to a beaten and frazzled Chrysalis, her right eye slightly swollen as she took several deep breaths.

“Don't ask! Burn this…” Her green magic slammed a small green cocoon onto the table with a sickly wet thud.

Cozy floating within trying to speak in the foulest of languages yet muffled out from the extra thick coating of slime hardening on the surface. Tirek poking the cocoon on the side with an indifferent expression.

Chrysalis grumbled limping away towards her quarters, vowing aloud with a swear that she'd never pity another soul ever again. Cozy glaring to Tirek from inside her moist prison with a hateful sneer on her muzzle.

“Whatever.” Tirek shrugged picking up his cookies and the cocoon, tossing both into the nearby trash pit to his right.

Far too tired to deal with this tonight.

One Of Those Mornings

Tirek yawned as he shuffled past the nearly overflowed trash pit. Placed atop the massive mound of garbage was a fussy Cozy, she had floated in her suspended state for at least three days. The tiny pony hungry with a saddened muzzle scrunched in dismay, those large vibrant eyes full of growing worry.

Tirek easily lifted a humongous boulder onto his broad toned shoulders, he needed to seal off the stench of this pit before it completely rotted. With a stone-faced expression, he locked eyes with the pitiful child, ready to slam down the boulder at a moment's notice.

Cozy sniffled in her prison.

Tirek gave a bored blink.

Cozy lifted a limp hoof against the cocoon surface as if to plead for mercy.

Tirek blinked again.

Cozy let her lips form into a saddened frown, the centaur lifted the boulder over his head.

Tirek simply sighed.

"Golly, I really thought you'd crush me!" Cozy sat at the rotted table of the lair, tail swished in excitement as she chomped down on a burnt cheese sandwich from Tirek.

"Yes, it crossed my mind." Tirek snorted with slumped shoulders, the centaur sat to the right of the child.

"But you couldn't! Because you like me!!" Cozy hummed with a sly smirk.

"No, I utterly despise you." Tirek narrowed his eyes as the world around him darkened.

"Each night I stay awake in awe, wondering what despicable act I committed to be cursed with such a horrid little spawn such as you." Tirek clenched his teeth as both hands clutched into mighty fists.

"Unable to sleep I pray to a higher power, I plead that this torture would end and that when I arrive at this table in the morning that I'd be greeted with these words "Cozy Glow has passed in her sleep.", Yet each day you disappoint me." Tirek locked eyes with the child who blushed.

"Aww, I love you too!" Cozy chomped down on the crunchy bread in delight.

"Why did you dig my failed creation out of the trash?" Tirek rolled both eyes in defeat.

"Om-nom, hungry!" Cozy spit out a pebble from her mouth.

"This is truly a living…" Tirek began to speak as a disgruntled Chrysalis trotted into the room full of anger.

"Why is "it" still alive!?" Chrysalis snorted out of both nostrils.

"My bestest friend spared my life, blehhh!" Cozy flashed a tongue covered in chewed food towards the fallen Queen.

"You sentimental fool!" Chrysalis snapped fanged jaws towards the centaur.

"I didn't feel like cleaning up the mess, from the inevitable crushing." The centaur rubbed his temples from a growing headache.

"I am a sprayer." Cozy beamed with pride.

"Whatever, I'm heading towards Canterlot for recon." Chrysalis arched a thin brow towards the group of allies that she hated with a passion.

"With much disgust, I must ask for help." She grumbled through clenched fangs, emerald-colored eyes locked onto the horrid child.

"Don't look at me you overgrown slug! I'm thinking of ways to annihilate you." Cozy turned away with a pout, tiny hooves stuffed the last of the food into her mouth greedily.

"I wasn't asking you brat!" Chrysalis hissed.

"MAGGOT!" Cozy spewed food everywhere.

"Annoyance!!" Chrysalis lifted a hoof in defense.

"Buggy b..." Cozy was suddenly smacked on the back of the head by Tirek's gigantic hand.

"If I go Chrysalis, will you promise me I won't return?" Tirek groaned as he lifted to his feet.

"Can't promise anything!" Chrysalis stomped away in a fit of rage.

"Aww, I was hoping we could play "Slaughter the princess."." Cozy sighed as she lowered under the table, only to lift upward holding a knife and a Twilight plushie.

"That just sounds absolutely horrible." Tirek began to shuffle out of the room.

"Defeating a princess?" Cozy scrunched her muzzle.

"No, just you!" Tirek's voice wafted to the child from the next room over.

"Phst, Killjoy!" Cozy snorted before she plunged the blade into the toy's backside.

A new day would bring forth new annoyances.
