Queen Chrysalis- Somewhere Near Canterlot

“This is so embarrassing,” Flash groaned for the one millionth time as they flew toward Canterlot. “Are you sure this is the only way I can have my freedom?”

“Keep asking that and you’ll be returning with me!” Chrys growled and grabbed onto his mane as he took a sharp turn. “Careful with those turns, I almost fell.”

“Wouldn’t be much of a loss…” he grumbled.

“What was that?”

“Nothing, nothing! You make an adorable little filly, Queen- OW!”

“The name is Pixie Glow,” she snapped as she bonked him on the head with a pale blue hoof. “At least we are almost there,” she sighed. Being disguised as a little pale blue pegasus filly with neon green mane and tail was not her idea of a good time, but at least it got her to Canterlot quickly. Without flight, even taking the train would have taken a few days at the least. This way, they would be there by lunch with plenty of time to find that purple stallion. At least this Flash had mostly cooperated. It had been close, but luckily she didn’t have to resort to mind control- yet.

Flash banked left as they reached the outskirts of Canterlot, where a line of ponies stood waiting to get in the gates. “See, I told you there would be problems. Security is a little tighter since you were last here.”

“I’m not scared of a few guards,” Chrys snorted. “Just stick with the story, and we’ll be good. I also hope you didn’t lose my papers for this form.”

“If they refuse us, we also have a few tricks we can use to get in, though better if they believe the story.” Chryspy chuckled. “They really think they can keep us out for good? Stupid ponies.”

Chrys let out a small grunt as Flash landed behind the last pony in line, an elderly unicorn mare with a grey bunned mane and light tan fur. She turned to look at them and gave a wide grin at Chrys.

“Ooooh is that your daughter, young stallion?” she cooed.

“Daughter? Oh uh, no, she’s my cousin’s daughter. I’m watching her for the day. He’s waiting for us at Donut Joe’s!” he gave the mare a wide, cheesy, grin.

“Okay, we’re doomed, this stallion sucks at lying.”

Chrys ignored her and beamed at the elderly mare. “Hiyah! I’m Pixie Glow! Cousin Flashie is going to buy me a donut as big as my head!” She wrapped her hooves tightly around his neck in a hug and nuzzled against his face. “Don’t mess this up,” she hissed softly in his ear and then sat back up on his back.

“Aw, well isn’t that adorable! Oh, looks like I’m next!” The elderly mare turned around as she came up to the guards.

“You have the paperwork still, right?” Chrys whispered into Flash’s ear.

He nodded, reached into his saddle bag, and removed them. A cute picture of ‘Pixie Glow’ adorned the top page, along with her birthday, home address -really an abandoned warehouse her changelings used for such coverups, but not like the guards would know that- and all her other important information for this disguise.

The elderly mare was let through and the two of them stepped forward. “Papers,” one of the guards, a pegasus, held out his hoof. “How are you doing Flash?”

Flash nodded and held out the papers Chrys had given him, along with his own royal guard badge. “Doing well, just bringing my cousin’s daughter home. She’s a little too young to fly yet.”

The guard nodded, going over the papers and hmmming softly as he did so. “Everything okay sir?” Chrys asked as she gave him her best innocent little filly smile.

“Yep, everything seems in place.” He handed the papers and badge back to Flash and smiled at Chrys. “Would you like a lollipop, little Pixie?” he asked and held out a large multihued blue lollipop that he had grabbed from a barrel next to him full of them..

“Why I sure would!” she beamed, grabbed it from him, and gave it a good, long lick. “Thank you!”

“Ugh must we be so buttery sweet? This is why I hate disguising as foals.” Chryspy grumbled.

Flash trotted them down the road, beads of sweat he hadn’t realized were on his brow quickly drying as he took in a deep breath of relief. “You know this is putting me in a very precarious situation right?” he grumbled.

“Of course I do, Flashie dearie,” Chrys crooned, leaned forward and popped the lollipop into his mouth. “That’s why I’m going to give you a special treat for helping, and not just that lolly.”

“A treat?” He blinked up at her in confusion as he moved the lollipop to the side of his mouth. “Don’t you want to look for that stallion?”

“Yes, but Canterlot is a big city, it’s going to take awhile I imagine, right? To find out where he is living? So why not have a little fun first?” She nuzzled against his cheek. “Besides, I’m hungry now.”

“Okay, what did you have in mind?” he asked and turned around to look at her. He shouldn’t have looked. The glint in her eyes told him everything.


Shiny Whistle - Canterlot

“See you all later!” Shiny waved as he left the house and trotted down the cobbled path. It had been a long night as he tossed and turned as the events of the wedding danced in his head, always ending with the changeling Queen gazing at him with those big green eyes. He shook the thoughts from his head as he continued down the path and stopped in front of Donut Joe’s. The scent of freshly made donuts and pastries filled the air as a pale blue unicorn stallion trotted out with a box placed on his back.

“Better grab some treats before my classes begin,” he said softly as he licked his lips and trotted inside. The place was far quieter than usual this time of morning. Usually it was packed with customers wanting their sweet treats or coffee before work, but now it was maybe a third of that.

“The usual, Shiny?” Joe asked as Shiny stepped up to the counter.

“You know I can’t resist your eclairs, Joe.”

“That’s why I always have a fresh batch for you. Here you go, that will be 10 bits.” He levitated over a box to Shiny as he placed the bits on the counter.

“Thanks Joe! See you tomorrow! If my father doesn’t lock us all up again,” Shiny sighed.

“Well I understand his concern, Shiny. That disaster of a wedding really scared a lot of ponies. Take it easy on him okay? Tell him I said hello?”

Shiny nodded. “I’ll try Joe, and I will!” With that, he placed his box of donuts on his back, grabbed some napkins, and trotted out the door. He looked at the streets around him, a few more ponies than yesterday, but many of them still held a look of terror in their eyes. One bright yellow pegasus mare shrieked and jumped up onto a nearby roof when two foals galloped by and brushed against her.

“Everypony is still so on edge. I guess they're expecting another invasion or something.” Shiny shook his head and sighed. It wasn’t like the changelings would be back again so soon. Plus there were guards at every entrance to the city, even pegasi were grounded before they entered. The Royal Guards would protect them, now that they knew what to look for, right?

He paused as he came up to the Canterlot School of Musical Art and watched as a hoofful of ponies trotted in and out the doors. The building was nice, and he had been teaching here ever since graduating from Celestia's school. Even through the many catastrophes that had hit Canterlot in past years, it had never been this slow.

The receptionist, Daisy Chain, a tall, thin, off-white unicorn mare with a daisy flower crown cutie mark, greeted him as he came through the door. “Good morning, Shiny!” she beamed and waved a hoof his way.

“Morning, Daisy,” he said and levitated the box of donuts and napkins from his back, grabbed one out of the box, and as he placed a napkin below it, placed it on the desk in front of her.

“Oh, Shiny! Thank you! How did you know I missed breakfast?” She grabbed the donut up in her magic and took a bite. “Mmm, an eclair too, my favorite!”

Shiny chuckled. “I know, it's mine too. You get here so early, I figured you might have forgotten again.” He placed the box back on his back. “Anyway, I better go get ready for my class. Take care!”

“I will. See you later!” She waved again and took another big bite of the eclair as he headed toward the stairs.

He grinned as he trotted up the stairs, eager to begin his classes. Though, now that he was alone once more, his mind drifted once again toward that lovely teal mane and how he longed to run a hoof through it. No, keep it together. Focus on this class. It was to no avail though as once again he returned to the day of the wedding.


Queen Chrysalis- Canterlot

Chrys smirked as she watched the ponies that passed them by. The city was certainly less crowded than when she was here last, and she liked it! “Seems everypony is too scared to come out to play,” she chuckled.

“Well when our Princess was beaten and our homes nearly taken over to make us all into food? Yeah, I would say they should be scared.” Flash shook his head and continued onward. “I know a place we can go for you to… get fed. Also for me to get some rest.” He stretched out his wings and winced a little. “Think I might have pulled something.”

“You’ll have plenty of time to rest,” Chrys snorted and waved a dismissive hoof his way. Her ears perked up a moment later at the sound of a merry tune as it rode on the wind.

“Hey! What are you doing? Get down!” Flash grumbled as she climbed up onto his head.

“Shush, I want a better view. Where is that music coming from?” She stood up on her hind legs and wobbled a little as Flash tried to keep her balanced, then blinked in surprise as she saw a few balloons rising into the sky. Below them, she could barely make out part of the track for what looked like a roller coaster. “Some type of carnival?”

Flash nodded and pulled her down onto his back once more. “Yes, a carnival. Princess Celestia wanted to raise morale so hired one. Everypony can get in free, only the rides and games cost bits.” He raised a wing to her mouth and shook his head. “Before you ask, the answer is no. I’m not taking you to the carnival. I just flew all night to get you here, I need to rest!”

“What does he think we are, ten? We’re much too old for a carnival. Though if they have a funhouse, or tunnel of love…”

Chrys nodded and chuckled. “Like I said, you’ll get plenty of rest. Perhaps I’ll go once you're asleep, hmm?”

“Nope, you will stay with me.” He stomped a hoof and did his best to look firm. “Then we’ll find this stallion, and my job will be done. I’ll go back to my royal guard training and tell nopony I saw you.”

“We’ll see how you feel after I’m done with you,” she crooned and fluttered her eyelashes at him. “Now, this place-”

“Right there,” he said and pointed a hoof to a small hotel. “Nothing fancy, but the sheets are clean and the beds soft.”

“They won’t be when I’m done with you,” she promised as they trotted inside.

The counter was occupied by a single grey earth stallion with a muddy brown mane, who nodded to Flash. “Hey, long day of training?” he asked.

Flash shook his head. “Flew down to Ponyville to get my cousin here,” he said and pointed a hoof at Chrys. “She can’t fly yet and her father doesn’t trust the trains.”

“Ahh, so foalsitting for a bit huh?” The stallion nodded in understanding. “Well if you flew in from Ponyville you must be exhausted.” He slid a key across the counter to Flash. “Get some rest you two. On the house for my favorite guard in training!”

Flash blushed crimson as he took the key and hurried toward their room. “Mmmm do you like him?” Chrys sing-songed as she played with one of his ears.

“NO!” Flash shook his head and batted her hooves away from his ear. “I’m into mares, not stallions.”

“Good, as I’d rather have that cock of yours inside of me, rather than putting one in you.”

“What!” His cheeks blushed bright pink against his coat. “Quiet, he might hear you!”

“You’d like that, wouldn’t you, Flashie?” Chrys crooned and nuzzled against his left ear.

He scrambled to open the door, shoved her inside and away from his ears soon as the door was open. “No, now get inside.” The door closed behind him as he hurried in after her.

“Finally, some privacy!” Chrys ran over to the window and closed the blinds and curtain. With a small flash of green flame, she stood near the bed in her own form. She stretched out her forehooves with a sigh, then her back legs, which gave a satisfying crack as a kink that had been there half the morning finally settled. “That is better. I hate being a foal.”

“Well er… at least you were a cute one?” Flash’s cheeks were still bright red as he watched her stretch. “Anyway, I should probably get to sleep,” he mumbled, stepped around her to get to the bed, and rolled onto his back.

“Feeding first, then sleep, handsome,” she winked at him.

“Oh, right, well… so you just need to do the neck thing like a thestral right?”

“No, you foal! I’m STARVING FOR LOVE! Not blood, stupid pony. Ugh, why am I surrounded by idiots?” she groaned as she placed a hoof to her forehead.

“So something like you did to Captain Armor then?” Flash leaned back against the pillows and hugged his wings to his barrel.

“Wait, he told you all about that?”

“A little… what he could remember…” he gulped.

“Well then, perhaps I should make this even more exciting than what I did to him.” She pounced on the bed and pinned him down with her forehooves and voluptuous form. “So nice and warm.” With a well practiced hoof she grabbed his muzzle and jerked it to the side, exposing his neck. She could hear his heartbeat quicken as she licked her lips, fangs glistening.

“W-wait, I thought you didn’t want blood?”

She let out a heavy sigh and released his muzzle. “I’ve been cursed to find such a weak stallion to feed off of.” She put a hoof to her forehead. “You’re nothing like Shinikins. That unicorn captain was a beast in bed.” Her gaze turned away for a moment as the memories filled her. Flash coughed. “Oh, right.” Chrys looked back down at the stallion. “I’m still hungry though, so you’ll have to work I suppose.”

“Gee, thanks, and when I’m doing this all of my own free will.”

Chrys swiped at his ears. “Don’t get smart with me! Though, yes, you are doing this freely.” She ran a hoof along his neck and licked her fangs once more. She could go the fang route, get the love faster.

“Well, are you going to do something or just stare at me all afternoon? I need sleep if I’m to help find this mysterious stallion of yours.” Flash ran a hoof through her mane, then quickly pulled it away when he realized what he was doing.

A slight chill ran down Chrys’s back at his unexpected touch and her stomach growled. “Yes, I am,” she nodded and put a hoof to his muzzle again. With her fangs bared she leaned down and bit down on his neck. She removed her fangs when she heard him scream, spit a hoofful of slime into her hoof, then slapped it over his muzzle. Though she did leave his nostrils uncovered. Didn’t want him to alert others at the hotel, nor did she want him dying from lack of oxygen. Kind of hard to get some of that delicious spunk if he was dead.

She could feel Flash tremble beneath her, his breath heavy through his nostrils as it blew her bangs out of her face. “Calm down, I’m not going to kill you.” His entire body trembled as she ran her tongue along the bite she had given him. “I didn’t even draw blood, you weak pony.”

Chrys put her hooves back up against either shoulder, and smirked as he tried to wiggle away. She jerked when she felt something warm tickle against her belly and looked down to see his cock as it poked out of his sheath. “Oh, ho! Are we feeling aroused? Good!”

“Finally! Now take those reins and let’s do this!” Chryspy growled.

“Now, you stupid stallion, give me your love!” She moved a hoof down to his growing erection and rubbed it up and down, his musky scent quickly feeling the air as she did so. A smile formed on her lips when she heard a muffled groan from the muzzled stallion.

Her tail rose up as she continued to rub at his cock, her pussy moistening with every new inch exposed. “My, my, look what you have been hiding. Not the biggest I’ve had, Shinikins was much larger, but you will still do fine.” Flash’s mottled brown cock pulsed in her hooves, a good nine inches long so far, with ball sacks around the size of an apple. They churned with fresh, hot, seed.

Chrys let out a moan when she felt the touch of a feather against her snatch, and looked down to see Flash’s wing rubbing against her. “Oooh yes, finally doing your part, are you?”

Flash nodded and pointed a hoof at the hardened goo around his muzzle, then down to her flanks. He moved his other wing out from under him and down to her crotch tits, slowly circling each areola, while his other wing moved to her clit and rubbed it between two feathers.

“Ooh! You really know how to use those wings! That is one thing he didn’t have.” She moaned as her pussy gave a hard wink, her juices leaking all over his wing. Chrys put a hoof to the hardened goo and smiled at him. “Do you want your muzzle free, is that it? Do you promise not to scream?”

Flash nodded vigorously, and doubled his efforts on her pussy, he slid one primary feather up into her slick snatch and swirled it around, while the primaries on his other wing moved harder and faster against her perked tits. He smiled much as he could under the hardened goo as she gave another loud moan.

“Okay, I’ll release your muzzle, but then I want you to show me what you can do with that tongue of yours, deal?” Chrys felt her tail rising higher and higher with his ministrations, her pussy dripping mare juices all over his wings and the bedding. When Flash nodded, she brought a hoof up from his cock, turned it sideways, and used the sharp edge to cut through the goo on his muzzle until it broke away and fell to the side.

Flash paused in his ministrations for a moment as he let out a gasp and took several large, deep, breaths. “Sweet Celestia, it's good to breathe again!”

“Your Princess isn’t the one who granted you breath again,” Chrys growled and brought her hoof back down to his cock as she slapped it. “Praise your actual lover, not her!”

“Gaaaaah! S-sorry, thank you, Queen Chrysalis,” he shuddered at the slap to his cock. “Let me m-make it up to you?”

“Yes, you will!” Chrys shifted her position, her weight temporarily removed from him as she turned around and exposed her dripping pussy to him. “You wanted your mouth free, now put it to good use.” She settled back down on him, tail hiked high as her pussy winked at him, and stared down at his cock, now fully exposed at around ten inches and rock hard.

She let out a little moan as Flash grunted in confirmation, placed his hooves on her flanks and gave a tentative lick to her snatch. “Oh come on, you can do better than that.” She huffed and as if to show him what she meant, reached down and gave his cock a long, slow lick all the way down to his head. Chrys felt him shudder beneath her and grinned as a large dollop of pre beaded on the tip. With a quick flick of her tongue she brought it back to her mouth and swallowed. “Hmm not bad, now keep going!”

“Y-you taste good too,” he gulped as he licked his lips. “Actually, a lot better than I imagined. Wow.” He dived back in with new vigor and lapped up as much of her dripping juices as he could reach, and then moved his tongue to poke at her entrance. “Like, dark chocolate or something? Hint of cantaloupe and roses? Never tasted anything like it!”

Chrys gave his cock one last lick, then looked back at him with a chuckle. “I taste far better than your normal mare, it’s true.” Her eyes caught another drop of pre as it leaked from his cock and dived down to catch it before it could be wasted. Her pussy gave a hard wink as she felt Flash continue, this time his tongue slipped further into her pussy and swirled around every inch he could reach.

Not to be outdone, she turned back to his cock and held it steady in one hoof, before slowly sliding the tip into her mouth. At the touch of her hot mouth and tongue around his cock a large drop of pre dribbled out and she eagerly gulped it down. Chrys slid a few more inches of his hot, sweaty, cock into her mouth, her moans louder as he did the same to her with that wonderful tongue of his.

“Nothing like a pegasi tongue to reach real deep!” Chryspy murmured.

Chrys nodded in agreement and slid her muzzle a little further up his cock. Earth ponies might have the larger cocks in general, and unicorns the best sex overall with the reach of their magical abilities, but pegasi had tongues to rival them both. It seemed this Flash had one of the longest she had ever taken. Too bad I promised him freedom after this. Ooooh he would be excellent company! Even if smarts wise he is a dolt.

A muffled groan fell from her lips as she felt his cock give a heavy pulse and deposit a pool of pre on her tongue. Mmm he is getting close, but gah! So am I! Her pussy winked hard and rapidly against the assault of his tongue, the pressure inside her building with every touch against her most sensitive places.

She pulled away from his cock and released the tip with a loud pop. As she looked down at his drool covered cock she grinned. It was rock hard now and leaking precum all over the blankets.

At the sound of another wet pop and the feel of emptiness beneath her tail, she heard Flash groan. “Why did you stop? That was so good!”

“I want you to finish elsewhere,” she grinned and slowly rolled to her hooves next to him. “Didn’t I say I want your cock inside of me earlier?”

“O-oh, right,” he nodded and took a moment to breathe with her weight off his stomach. “J-just wow! You are a-amazing.”

“You haven’t seen anything yet,” Chrys crooned and stood up. “No normal mare will ever be able to please you again, you stu-stupid stallion.” Her pussy drooled mare juices down her legs and all over his sweaty stomach as she looked down at his erect cock. It rocked back and forth gently with her movements above it, ready and waiting to be engulfed once more.

“Then bring it, a R-royal Guard must be able to handle anything. I know you taste divine, now I-I want to feel how divine you are.” His cheeks blushed even brighter than before, and his wings sprang out halfway just at the thought, before he was able to pull the sticky appendages back to his barrel.

“Oh I’m going to have fun with this,” she hissed as she gave him a fangy smile. “Even if you could never beat your captain in most ways.” Her horn lit up as she grasped his cock in her magic. It throbbed and pulsed as another pool of pre fell to the blankets. She took a small step forward, lining his tip up with her dripping snatch, then let herself down. Right away she took nearly half of him inside of her, merely a few centimeters from his throbbing medial ring.

Flash groaned loudly, his wings springing out to their full length almost painfully erect and trembling to either side. “Gaaah, I-I think I’m going to cum!”

“Don’t you dare cum yet!” Chrys growled and took a few moments to get used to him inside of her. Wasn’t as big as Shining Armor, but he did still feel wonderful. She pulled upwards until only his tip was left in her, then slammed back down, his medial ring popped inside of her then out again as she rode his thick cock, the pressure inside of her almost burning as it grew. “Almost…” she moaned and slammed down on him once more, finally hilting herself on his hot cock.

A scream of her own fell from her lips as she came hard and coated his balls and crotch in her marecum. She gripped his shoulders in her hooves as she rode out her climax, still rocking back and forth on him.

As she felt his cock pierce through her womb, Flash let out a groan as she felt his tip flare up inside her and send a waterfall of cum into her, rope after rope of the sticky, hot, spunk coated her insides and filled the room with the taste of fresh love and the musk of sex.

They collapsed to the bed together a moment later, their orgasmic high slowly fading. His cock slowly shrank back into its sheath, leaving her pussy with a wet plop and a gush of stallion cum pooling on the already drenched blankets.

“I-I’m sorry I couldn’t hold it in any longer,” he moaned, his cheeks bright with orgasmic bliss and shame.

Chry flicked one of his ears and smirked at him. “You’ll do better next time.” She stood up on the carpet, a little wobble to her step but otherwise okay, and winked at him.

“Wait, n-next time?” he gulped, his eyes going wide. “What about-” he blinked down at her hoof against his muzzle.

“Yes, we are still going after my prize stallion. A Queen needs sustenance until we find him though. Speaking of,” she lit up her horn and once again pulled his muzzle to the side with one hoof. “It’s feeding time.”

“W-we didn’t just get done with feeding?”

“Feeding of my lust, yes, but I still need a little something else.” She placed her horn against his neck and licked her fangs as the light from it began to pulse. A soft moan fell from her as she pulled in his love. His love tasted a little bitter, like cheap Amareican chocolate and lemons, rather than the rich flavor of Switzermare chocolate, but it would do.

“Sleep well now, Flashy,” she beamed and rubbed a hoof through his mane as he yawned.

“R-right, a-and you b-behave!” he mumbled as his eyelids slowly closed, then shot open again as he tried to stay awake.

“Oh you know I will,” she winked and pulled her horn away from his neck. He snored softly as she gazed down at him, his wings still spread out around him, though not as stiff as before.

Chrys looked around the small room. Now that she was fed, in more ways than one, she could concentrate on what it actually looked like. Flash had been right when he said it wasn’t much. Besides the bed there was a small dresser with a radio and a worn Laz-E-Colt chair in the corner. Next to the front door was another door that led into a small bathroom. With one last glance back to Flash she trotted into the bathroom. “Time for a long, relaxing bath. Can’t be smelling like some other stallion when I meet him again,” she said softly and closed the door behind her.


Author's Note

Finally, chapter two is here! That took longer than planned... and I just realized when writing this that I haven't published any clop since 2017! :rainbowderp: Time for that to change eh? Hehe. :pinkiecrazy: I had so much fun teasing Flash in this chapter. Also kind of drawing on Cozy Glow for Chrys's foal self too. XD I think this clop fic decided it wanted to be a story WITH clop instead. Silly thing. :rainbowlaugh:
Note: There is a good chance this will become a canon story, I am loving what is happening so far not to make it canon. (Will just be a 'canon but not necessary reading to enjoy the Long Live the Queen Trilogy' kind of thing. A few characters will be introduced early in here, but besides that it's mostly just going to be Chrys going around and causing mischief as she searches for and finds Shiny.)
Either way, I hope you enjoy! Comment, critique, like the story and overall just let me know what you think! Little out of practice writing clop (besides rping) so this first one might be a little awkward.
Thanks for reading everyone! *hugs*
