And a miserable existence.

The canterlot gardens. The now permanent home of our three villains. We all saw how they tried to take over Equestria. Really, the three of them knew in the back of their minds they would most likely fail, yet, they never imagined they'd have to suffer through a punishment quite like this. One suggested by Discord, no less.

Discord was stone for 10,000 years the first time around. And, the three of them couldn't really remember how long they've been here. Long enough that the nights and days blend together. Time seems to sort of stagnate. It had been a long time, at the least. Long enough that the vines and plants began to creep their way up their forms.

Long enough that they're covered in moss at this point. Long enough that, if they were regular statues, they would have began to crumble. Sitting in the garden was quite boring most of the time, all they had to watch was the occasion picnic from the unsuspecting couple, having no idea they were being watched.

Of maybe a flock of birds that would land on them from time to time and defecate all over them. The only thing keeping them from losing their minds completely was, well, they could telepathically communicate with eachother. Weather that was a good or a bad thing, well, the three of them couldn't even decide.

Just the three of them. Alone. Sharing thoughts with eachother and nobody else.

"Ugh...more birds, more feces." Chrysalis complained. If she could, her eyes would be rolling.

"Tell me about it." Cozy responded, "I'm the highest one out of the three of us."

Chrysalis let out a small groan in frustration. "But I'm the biggest, meaning there's more surface area."

"Would you two just quit bickering?" Tirek groaned. "It's already been an eternity and your arguing has made me go more insane than the silence would."

"I have to agree." Chrysalis grumbled. "Or perhaps death. Death would be preferable than this."

Tirek wanted to cross his arms, but couldn't for obvious reasons. "I concur. Not existing at all would definitely be much better than existing forever...with you two."

"C'mon, you two," Cozy interrupted. "We were a team, remember? We almost won, cause we worked together!" Leave it to the little filly to try and look at the bright side.

"Yes, but we lost," Chrysalis continued, "And, by the way, we still don't know who to blame for that."

"Well, it's obviously your fault, Chrysalis." Tirek scoffed.

"Why me?"

"Well, you see, how many times did you attempt to best them?" Tirek thought. Again, if he could, he would be tapping his chin right now. "Two? Three? And yet, you lost every time."

"Tirek is right..." Cozy admitted. "Maybe you just have bad luck or something. Like you're destined to lose."

"You insufferable little-" Chrysalis stopped herself right there. Despite the fact that she was just as evil as her, Cozy was still a kid after all.

She seemed to kill the conversation, as after that, silence. Weather she scared Cozy quiet or not, didn't really matter, as they stayed silent for a good while, before the silence was finally broken by Cozy. "There's another couple getting ready for a picnic." She said.

And of course, right in front of them, there was a cute little Pegasus couple rolling out a blanket, getting ready for an innocent little picnic. "Ugh, not again." Chrysalis groaned.

"Another decade, another unsuspecting couple," Tirek responded, with a sigh.

"These ones better not have sex in front of us like that last one did." Chrysalis groaned.

Tirek stayed silent for a moment, before responding, "It's the only time I've ever been glad my eyes have been sealed shut this whole time."

"And yes, on that note," Chrysalis said, "The vines are awfully close to covering up my eyes. Losing my vision is just what I needed."

"It's okay, Chrysalis," Cozy attempted to comfort "I've had bird poop in my eye for a while now."

"You know, the reason Tirek is unable to see, is because he did nothing but cower when we were sealed up. Both of you did." Chrysalis mentioned, with some disgust in her voice.

"We were being turned to stone." Tirek responded. "What did you expect us to do? What were you expecting to do, exactly?"

"Anything I could." She responded.

"Look guys, instead of criticizing eachother," Cozy intervened, again, trying to stop them from arguing. "Maybe we should focus on trying to get out of here!"

"It's already been a very, very long time." Chrysalis mentioned. "Twilight hasn't batted another eye at us once. The only one that ever interacts with us is Discord."

"Yes, true," Tirek added. "And even then, all he does is intentionally irritate us."

"Indeed." Chrysalis continued. "My point is, we won't be getting out of here any time soon. But, if we do, I will walk up to that meddlesome draquanicous, and that little princess..." Even through their stone prison, the other two being could hear Chrysalis hissing as she spoke. "And tear them to bits myself."

"See, that's the spirit!" Cozy responded, with a little giggle. "That's the Chrysalis I know!"

"You never learn your lesson, do you?" Tirek asked, with a scoff. "I would gladly go right back to my cell in Tarturus and never attempt escape. That was much preferable than this."

"Oh, that's cute." Chrysalis said. "You think they would let you? No. They would never execute you. They're too cowardly. They like to think they have, how you say, morals and all that. They think it's more merciful to subject us to an eternity of suffering cause they don't have to guts to just kill us."

"Your point being?" Asked Tirek."

"If we ever escape, they would never let you go. They will hunt you down, and just seal you up in stone again."

"I don't think that's true," Cozy said, "They seem like they like giving ponies a second chance. I mean, look at Discord, or any of Twilights other enemies, for that matter."

"It doesn't matter." Chrysalis said, with a scoff. "I will never submit. I will never become good. I will try, and try, and try again, until I finally get to watch Twilight cower at my feet, and accept her loss."

"I see," Tirek said. As much as he didn't want to admit it, Chrysalis was probably right.

Chrysalis let out an evil little chuckle. "I will escape someday. And I will take my changeling army...and I will destroy Twilight and everything she loves."

"Yeah, even though we lost, we're still a team!" Cozy said, how she managed to stay so cheery through all of this was insane to the other two. "What about that has changed?"

"We were never a real team" Chrysalis admitted. "I think we were all planning to betray eachother eventually."

"I definitely learned my lesson," Tirek said. "Believe it or not I have come to regret betraying Discord."

"I've thought hard about it," Chrysalis said. "He probably turned us to stone cause he was still mad at you.. Cozy and I got caught in the crossfire."

"So, does that mean we can finally blame Tirek?" Cozy asked.

"Yes. Yes it does."

Tirek let out a little sight of annoyance.

"But, until we escape here, and get our revenge..." Before Chrysalis could finish, however, another bird flew over the trio, and dropped some poop right onto the ex queen's snout.

"This is gonna be one long eternity."

Author's Note

I've seen a lot of tragic and depressing stories about this topic, so I wanted to do something new ~~as far as I know~~ and write a more light-hearted version of it.

Let me know what you think!
