The Life Of Blitz

I was adapting very well to my life. I had some close friends, I had some close enemies, I even had somepony to keep close to me. About a year after I met Lavender and her friends, I got closer and closer to her, until she couldn't hold back. She asked me to be her special somepony! I was speechless, but I couldn't say no. We were a happy couple, a sample of what most relationships should have been, only… nothing was straightforward in my life.

I was getting ready, not for a casual night with Lavender and her friends, I was invited to the Gala. It was kind of a sketchy time to be a changeling, going to a VIP Gala. VIP meaning very important pony in this case, as it was a pony only even. Technically, I didn't belong there, but who was going to stop a secret changeling from dancing with the pony he loved? Nopony, that's who!

I picked out a suit, one that would show my true taste of colour and design. I picked out a dark blue and grey suit. It matched me properly, as myself that was, but not so much as my camouflage. Just a netting over my true form. That made me a little anxious at the night of the Gala, as I put on my suit. Shadow looked me over and smiled.

"My boy's all grown up!" She chuckled, a tear coming to show itself, as it slid down her face. I looked at her with a brighter and more encouraged stern glare. She continued to chuckle to herself and I began to notice that she wasn't chuckling. She was crying! I lifted her head up with her magic and placed a kiss on her cheek.

"Suck it up soldier! You may be a tough as fuck guard, but really, you're really just a softy on the inside." I joked. That got Shadow to smile. She was more worried about Copper than anything. I had to look after her while Copper was away working. He was going to be gone for a while, so I made it my duty to help Shadow out as much as I could. She had the night to herself and I encouraged her to go crazy, like I was going to do. I told her to invite some of the other guard friends around and any of her close friends here and to have a house party of some sort. She pondered the idea and she nodded. I promised to clean up the mess in the morning. She really did deserve this!

I was ready for the night of my life, literally! I didn't know which way this night was going to go, or what was going to happen, but I knew that this night was the night to change it all. Shadow was still her insider counterpart, meaning that she was camouflaged as well. We didn't want to reveal who we were quite yet, but we found out by Thorax, that he made an appearance in the Crystal Empire a little while ago. This gave me the confidence to change to my normal self, but I needed to wait for the perfect opportunity to do so.

I was about to embark on the journey to the Gala location. It was a little distance, but I thought that I might be able to catch the train from the closest train station. Shadow poked my head with her hoof and smiled at me. Her grin was the biggest I had ever seen on her. She changed to herself and turned around.

"This might be one of the coolest ideas to get to the Gala. Flying in on a changeling guard! A changeling royal guard!" She suggested, winking at me. Everypony was getting there easily and in many fantastic ways. I didn't want to be the odd one out from doing that, so I pondered that idea for a second. I looked confused and a little scared. Maybe this was how we would tell everypony that we were changelings all along.

"That might be cool Shadow, but what if…" I stated, getting cut off.

"I've already thought about that Blitz! We have evidence in the form of Mist." She stated, putting my anxiousness at ease. We both looked at each other and then sighed, being perfectly in sync with one another. "You ready for this Blitz?" Shadow asked, holding her hoof up to me.

"As ready as I'll ever be!" I stated, taking Shadow's hoof in mine and climbing onto her back. Shadow walked up to the door and pulled it open with her magic, then proceeded to close and lock it up. We lifted off the ground and soared into the sky. Shadow got some weird looks as she flew up, but thanks to Thorax, everypony had second thoughts on changelings being evil. It was nice to see my mother, flying about. It reminded me of the hive when she occasionally flew up the stairs, but knowing that we were traveling to a place that would either set me up for life or ruin me instantly, made me really, really nervous.

I relaxed a little on Shadow's back, as we moved across the sky. I loved the sky, the clouds, the colour, everything! It amazed me so much! The fact that pegasi could move all of this, like it was nothing, amazed me so much. I learnt about the earth ponies, pegasi and unicorns, but the pegasi stood out above all of them. Technically, I was all three, being able to use telekinesis and having the ability to fly. Although it was not as fast as a pegasus, it was still flight. I also was pretty strong for a changeling, but Shadow was way, way stronger.

"How you doing champ?" Shadow called out as she changed her wings into some pegasus ones. The transformation was perfectly smooth. We went from hovering to gliding in a seamless transition. It was truly magical, and strangely satisfying. This transformation allowed Shadow to travel at a much greater speed. I felt more air flow through my mane, I was disguised still, so it was a completely different feeling. It was nice.

"Nervous! Just nervous!" I called out to her, air creating a constant loud noise as we continued to travel. She chuckled a little as we approached our destination. We were way too high for anypony to notice. We were hovering above a chapel, streamed with decorations and lights. We could make out a lot of ponies down below us.

"I got an idea that will make you very popular, if you're up for it?" Shadow stated, turning her head to me with a wicked smile. I nodded and watched as Shadow lit up her horn. "You're welcome son!" She added before she let out a shriek and lighting up the sky with a bolt of pure green energy. I looked down at all of the ponies below. All of them were looking up. What a grand entrance, I thought to myself. We slowly lowered ourselves from the sky, as I looked around with a stern look. I could see some ponies with mouths agape. Every pair of eyes, were on me.

We came about twenty five meters from the ground and stopped. We looked around and I stood up on Shadow's back. I jumped off before slowly hovering with invisible wings. Shadow lowered herself slowly, matching my pace. I turned and looked her in the eyes. She smiled evilly at me, showing her fangs in the process. If Copper was here, he would be saying that that move was cute.

We landed on the ground and I turned to look at everypony and kept my head held high. I wore a heroic look as I evaluated the ponies in front of us. Shadow walked up beside me and tapped me on the shoulder. I turned to look at her and watched as she saluted me. I bowed to her and looked back at everypony, still seeing them all stunned and confused.

A guard approached Shadow slowly and she turned and held up her ID. The guard slowly took it off her and looked at it. He nodded before giving it back to Shadow. She held out her hoof and the guard tapped her hoof. Was… was she really getting a hoof bump at the Gala? For fuck sake Shadow! I chuckled at the scene.

"Really Shadow?" I questioned. She nodded and smiled back at me. I began to walk forward, having Shadow and the other guard following me. Did Shadow tell this guard to do something? I thought about it for a second or two, before I shook off the thought. We moved slowly, making my presence known, probably only because there was a changeling that I had at hoof, while everypony else didn't.

I looked around as I scanned for them, then I saw them, perched next to a massive tree. The branches seemed to cut off most of the sunlight that was still left and replaced it with a life like feeling of dread. They turned to look at me with surprise, seeing that there was a unicorn guard and a changeling guard following me.

Cyan, looking beautiful as ever, was wearing a light gold dress. It perfectly complimented her golden like mane. I may have liked her the least out of the group, but she was still beautiful. Her cyan colored fur properly counteracted her mane and dress, allowing her to stand out in a crowd.

Clover, was wearing a light green dress, to accommodate for her mane too, but Clover's dress was woven from a silk like substance. It almost looked as reflective as metal, making the light shine off her dress. It dazzled me, but I loved the design of the dress. Her dark grey fur kept her in the crowd, unlike Cyan's fur.

Scarlett, my closest friend from the group, wore a light grey dress. This was unexpected, but nobody cared. She looked beautiful, regardless of what dress you put her in. Her hazel mane and eyes perfectly complemented themselves alone and her red fur made her look admittedly adorable.

Jade was a strange one and also the funny one. She came in a suit, a black suit with a black tie. At least I wasn't the only one wearing a suit in this group, I thought. I smiled at that and continued to walk towards them all. Jade wasn't straight, so I was not surprised at all to see that she was wearing one. It made her look so smart, even if she wore casual clothes all the time. It matched her black and green mane, as well as her green fur. It too, made her look kind of cute.

Last but not least, my special somepony! She was the best, the top mare, the mare I loved. She wore a pure white dress, which made me a little surprised. She had purple stripes in her mane, so I thought that she would have gone with something along the purple lines, but what I didn't realize, was that my mare was actually wearing a purple dress. It was just reflective and also super bright. It too was made from a similar looking substance that Clover had on her dress. Maybe a protective coating? Who knew! The dress perfectly complimented her fur, which was a light bluish purple, more so than it did her mane. That made her definitely stand out above the rest.

"Blitz!" Scarlett stated. I got a mixture of expressions and a charging Scarlett galloping at me. She slowed and hugged me and looked at Shadow and slowly moved back. I looked back and chuckled.

"Shadow! Stop scaring everypony!" I giggled, making her smile. Scarlett went past me and gazed at Shadow, being curious. "Shadow? Please be careful with Scarlett." I commanded, making Shadow nod. I turned back to see that Lavender was walking towards me. I watched as she closed the distance and hugged me. She plastered me in kisses and nibbled on my ear a little. I blushed a little, refusing to look at Shadow, but I knew that she was watching and smiling. Lavender stopped kissing me and I began to breathe. She blushed a little and looked at my suit. She wore a confused look when she noticed that my colors didn't notice my mane or my fur.

"I got something to tell you later. I got something to tell everypony later." I admitted. She just tilted her head and looked worryingly at me. "Nothing to worry about, just something that I can now get off my chest." I added. She nodded and continued to hug me. I looked back at Shadow and smiled. "Shadow! Meet Lavender, my special somepony!" I loudly announced. Shadow looked at Lavender and extended her hoof. Lavender replied by shaking Shadow's hoof back.

"Well Blitz, I think that I can stay here, if you want me to? I may or may not be the highest rank here, but that doesn't stop me on my day off to watch somepony I know grow up." Shadow explained, making me smile. "That and all of the ponies might wanna know about me." She added. I nodded and hugged her! She blushed a little. "Blitz, keep yourself in check!" Shadow commanded. I immediately stopped hugging her and walked back and kissed Lavender, making her close her eyes in the process. She enjoyed it at least.

Everypony was walking into the chapel, so we all followed, trailing behind some of the popular ponies. I had made a name for myself during my time at highschool. I had defended ponies from bullies, had been bullied for others to not get bullied and sorted out relationship problems with ponies, as well as giving them advice on life in general. I had experienced harsher issues at a younger age, during my years at the hive. I loved helping people in the end, so I was perfectly able to give them proper advice.

As we walked into the chapel, Shadow stopped at the door and began to talk to the guards. I guessed that she knew them all, so I didn't give it a second thought. If she was happy, this would have been my reward for her, to make sure that she was happy and having fun with some colleagues. She couldn't boss them around, but she could give them some orders and they would respect those orders. They respected her!

There were tables with names on them, from when we booked them in advance. I was sat on the table with the entire group, plus three extra ponies. They were close friends too, ponies that I got along well with. We sat there and talked for what seemed like hours, before I became brave enough to get up and go to the highest point on the chapel, so that everypony could see me. Lavender and the rest watched me as I stood on a balcony. I lit up my horn and created a high pitch humming noise. It went on for a couple of seconds before I got the attention of everypony.

"Everypony hello! I hope you are all enjoying your night! I have been waiting so long for my time to be able to do this." I stated loudly, making sure that everypony could hear me. "I have been keeping this a secret for a while and I feel like I need to tell everypony about it now, about who I truly am." I added. I took in a deep breath and then reared up on my to hindlegs. Everypony thought I was going to jump off the balcony first, but I had other intentions. I began to hear cheering and then ponies actually began to stand up and clap their hooves against the floor. I smiled before I moved back a little.

"I am Blitz Nova! I am not a pony! I'm a changeling!" I stated loudly as I changed into my real form, then I noticed that all of the room went dead. Dead quiet! My ears folded back and then I looked around at everypony and wore a scared expression. I didn't realize what I had done. I had killed the mood of the Gala!I looked down at Lavender and the group, all of them wearing a mix of emotions. Cyan was grossed out, Clover was confused, Jade was wearing a smug grin, Scarlett wore an amused look and Lavender… she just smiled.

One by one, I began to hear the clapping of hooves against the Gala floor, then more hooves, until all of the room was a mixture of clapping and cheering! My ear were still splayed back and I was blushing, which was a new addition to my appearance. Jade grabbed Lavender and picked her up, dropping her off next to me, before landing on the chapel floor again. I slowly moved back and smiled, not sure how she would like me, knowing that I had lied to her about myself.

"This is why I have my suit like this! It matched my mane and eyes. I…" I admitted, before getting muted by Lavender, placing her hoof on my muzzle. She lifted her hoof off my mouth and kissed me passionately. My eyes went completely wide, then immediately shut as I enjoyed every second of her passionate kiss, not feeding on her love at all. I was keeping my belly empty for the meal I had picked.

Lavender broke the kiss and then looked at me in the eyes. She didn't say anything as she stood on her hindlegs and forced me up with her magic. I too was stood on my hindlegs. She wrapped her forehooves around my neck and swayed from side to side. She just wanted me to be me, I could pick that up, but there was something that I had not picked up on. That was how pleased she was with me, I could feel her affection in the air. She closed her eyes and rested her head on my shoulder, as we continued to sway from side to side. I teleported us down onto the floor of the chapel and she opened her eyes.

"I love you Blitz, regardless of what you look like! Regardless of what you are, cause to me, you're any normal pony!" She spoke softly, getting a couple of cheers from some ponies around us. I looked around and smiled as I began to fly. Lavender pulled me back to the ground with her magic and looked me in the eyes. "Never change again! Please?" She asked, giving me the cutest eyes she ever had. I nodded and then teleported her to her seat. I teleported myself shortly after and then we all had fun and had a casual laugh, together!

The night went on and I was happier than ever that people liked my original form. Lavender called me cute, because of my blue accessories being my ears, horn, wings, as well as my mane and tail. I was so happy on the night! Ponies loved me and respected me, ponies wanted to hang out with me all night, ponies even wanted me to meet with them on several occasions. I had a couple of drinks, and so did nearly all of the chapel. I was asked to give the true story of how I got to where I was on that very night. I was happier than ever to explain, getting Shadow to sit next to me. I told them all that she was my real mother, which made me blush a little, but she was so happy, I didn't care about embarrassment of any kind.

When it was time to go to a Gala after party, I wasn't invited. I didn't really care at all, I was in pure bliss that my night had gone so well. Shadow was too drunk to fly home, so I carried her home, since I was able to fly. It was a super long and tiring journey, but eventually, we got back. Shadow was drunk, not too drunk, just drunk. She couldn't hold her weight in alcohol for shit! I opened the door with my magic, using the key to unlock the door, and entered. I closed the door and placed Shadow on the sofa, before locking the door and closing the curtains. It was late.

Shadow began to cry a little. I turned and sat down beside her. She was crying a little, but I didn't know what was bothering her so much.

"The only way that this night could be perfect, is if my stallion was here!" She stated, tears running down her face. I looked at her with concern and did the only thing I knew how to do. I hugged her! It worked a little bit, but she cried into the hug. I had an idea of what to do. I got the attention of Shadow and changed my form. It matched Copper's form perfectly. I turned on some relaxing music and then held my hoof out to her. She hesitated, but then took my hoof. I held her like Lavender her done to me, wrapping my hooves around her neck and standing on my hindlegs. Shadow continued to do the same, but Shadow was smart. She changed her form into Lavender, just for me. I blushed a little.

"Like mother like son!" I cheekily stated, gaining a little smile from Shadow. We swayed slowly as the music continued. Shadow and i loving the company of one another, but never going too far as to do anything we shouldn't. We cut off the dancing as the song ended and smiled at one another as we changed back.

"Blitz? Thank you so much! I loved every second of it! We should really get some sleep, cause I'm a little tipsy, and your Blitz! My baby Blitz!" Shadow muttered to me. I nodded, heading up to bed and tucking her into bed. I loved her! I would always love her! She was the only family I had here, so I had to keep her close. She was asleep by the time that I tucked her in.

I moved into my bed, being exhausted by the events of today. My bliss! My bliss of a day, was soon to become a nightmare. Little did I know that as I was asleep that night, I was being betrayed...
