When I Loved You

Celestia pushed open the bedroom door, letting it hit the wall to make a loud bang. Chrysalis turned around and her eyes landed on Celestia. Her cheeks turned pink and she took a step back in surprise.

"Celestia!" Chrysalis exclaimed in surprise, not knowing what to say. Celestia scowled and walked towards Chrysalis with a glowing horn.

"What did you do with Cadance and Twilight!?" Celestia asked sternly. Chrysalis' eyes darted back and forth. She opened her mouth to say something but closed it, trying to form proper words. She shook her head, gaining her composure. She stood up straight and puffed out her chest.

"I put them somewhere no one will ever find them." Chrysalis answered with a smirk. Celestia snarled and got closer to Chrysalis. Their noses pressed together, making the Changelings eyes widen and her heart raced in her chest. Her horn glowed brighter.

"Where are they?" Celestia asked sternly. Chrysalis was at a loss for words. She was being threatened by the most beautiful mare in Equestria.

"Celestia I want to marry you," Chrysalis stated. Celestia blinked in surprise, taking a few steps back. She was not expecting her to say that.

"Excuse me?" Celestia asked in shock. Chrysalis took a step closer to Celestia with a large smile on her face. She grabbed Celestia's hoof and placed it in hers, looking into her eyes.

"Celestia Nova Star, I want to marry you. We can rule Equestria together and start a new kingdom. Everyone will worship and adore us!" Chrysalis said excitedly, her eyes sparkling brightly. Celestia jerked her hoof back, taking a few steps back. She held her hoof up to her chest and shook her head.

"It's been two thousand years since I've last seen you and haven't changed a bit. I'm not going to marry you." Celestia stated. Chrysalis' ears flattened and she looked down at the ground. Her teeth gritted and she looked up at Celestia with tears in her eyes.

"Then I'll rightfully take this land as my own," Chrysalis stated. She opened her wings and flew out of the window, quickly wiping tears from her eyes. Her horn was glowing brightly. From outside the bubble, thousands of changelings emerged from the darkness. Chrysalis was calling her subjects. Celestia's eyes widened.

"Oh no oh no oh no." She muttered to herself. This was very bad. She knew she couldn't take on Chrysalis by herself. Celestia looked at the guards and Shining Armor who was still standing in the room, under Chrysalis' control. She knew that there was nothing she could do to snap them out of it. She needed to get help.

Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy sat in a bedroom, relaxing.

"I can't believe Twilight thinks Princess Cadance is evil." Fluttershy said, brushing Angel Bunny's fur.

"I know right? She was super duper nice to me. There's no way she's evil." Pinkie Pie stated. The bedroom door slammed open, making all mares look at the door. Princess Celestia stood there with a panicked look on her face.

"Twilight and Princess Cadance are in trouble!" Celestia exclaimed. The mares hopped up and got in fighting stances.

"Who do we have to take down?" Rainbow Dash asked fiercely. Celestia pointed out of the window, gesturing to Queen Chrysalis. More changelings started to pile up onto the bubble. The mares piled up in front of the window, looking at the changeling in awe.

"Who is that." Applejack asked. Celestia let out a sigh.

"That's Queen Chrysalis. My ex-wife." Celestia stated. The mares turned to face her with wide eyes.

"Darling I don't mean to be rude but you got married to her?! You can do much better than that darling." Rarity said in slight disgust. Celestia's ears flattened as she watched Chrysalis call her army.

"Why did you marry her?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Why did you two split apart?" Fluttershy questioned softly.

"Why is she back now?" Pinkie Pie asked, hopping up and down. Celestia put her hoof up, making the mares quiet down.

"I'll explain all of that in a moment but first, you five need to find Twilight and Princess Cadance. Since there's a bubble around Canterlot, they can't be far. Check everywhere, even the secret tunnels under the castle." Celestia instructed. The girls nodded their heads.

"We won't let you down, Princess!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed with a salute. The mares ran out of the room and Celestia turned to face the window. She needed to handle Chrysalis herself.

"Ponies of Canterlot, I am your new Queen! You will bow to me!" Chrysalis shouted. Ponies stopped and stared in shock. All of that ruckus had woken ponies up. Chrysalis turned around to face her subjects that were on top of the bubble. She gestured one of her hooves and with that, the changelings started to hop.

The weight of the changelings started to crack the bubble. Some ponies started to run off to shelter while others stared at the thousands of changelings in awe. Royal Guards marched into the city with spears and swords. Celestia had ordered them to attack, knowing that she could do nothing to stop the changelings from entering Canterlot. The cracks in the bubble were getting larger and larger.

"Yes, my subjects!" Chrysalis exclaimed, raising her hooves into the air. The bubble shattered and within seconds, changelings flew into Canterlot. They all hovered next to their queen, waiting for an order. "Attack!" Chrysalis ordered. Changelings started to attack ponies, taunting, and teasing them. Ponies screamed and ran in different directions, looking for shelter. Chrysalis let out a loud laugh, watching all of the chaos in glee.

"Chrysalis!" Celestia shouted, making Chrysalis turn around. Celestia stood on the top of the castle with an angry look on her face. Chrysalis and her face dropped momentarily before she broke out into a wide grin.

"Stop this madness Chrysalis!" Celestia ordered. Chrysalis let out a laugh, clutching onto her sides.

"You think I'll just stop? If you want me to stop you'll have to stop me yourself." Chrysalis said smugly. Celestia gritted her teeth and opened her wings. She jumped off of the side of the castle and flew towards Chrysalis at full speed. Chrysalis' eyes widened and she flew slightly to the right. Celestia zipped past her and whirled around shot a beam of magic at her.

Chrysalis dodged the attack and flew in the opposite direction. Celestia chased after her, continuing to shoot magic at Chrysalis. She turned around and stuck her tongue out at Celestia.

"Try to catch me Celly!" Chrysalis exclaimed before flying downwards into the crowd of fighting and chaos. Celestia followed a few feet behind, flapping her wings harder. Chrysalis flew through the crowds of fighting, dodging ponies. Changelings moved out of there queens way to make sure they didn't inconvenience her. Celestia followed after Chrysalis and to her surprise, the changelings moved out of her way too. Chrysalis made a sharp right turn, going in between some buildings.

Celestia made a right turn, right on Chrysalis' tail. She went in between the buildings to see that it was a dead end. There was a large brick wall at one end and above them, there was a series of clotheslines that would be impossible to get through without getting stuck. Chrysalis was facing the wall, now standing on the ground.

"It's a dead-end Chrysalis, just give up," Celestia said, landing on the ground. When she didn't get an answer, she walked over to Chrysalis and put her hoof on her shoulder. Chrysalis jerked away from Celestia and turned around to face her. she had an angry look on her face.

"We were supposed to rule Equestria together!" Chrysalis exclaimed angrily, taking a step forward. Celestia took a set back and her ears flattened. "I still see you as my wife!" She shouted, tears filling up in her eyes. Celestia stuck her hoof out for Chrysalis to hold.

"We can start over Chrysalis, you just need to leave behind you evil past," Celestia stated. Chrysalis looked at Celestia and then down at her hoof. She thought to herself for a few long moments. She placed her hoof on Celestia's hoof and tears started to drip down her cheeks. She didn't expect to get this emotional. Celestia pulled Chrysalis into her a hug, letting her cry into her shoulder.

"There there, it'll all be alright," Celestia reassured, patting Chrysalis' back. Chrysalis let out loud sobs into Celestia's shoulder, feeling comforted. This was the first time she had cried in over a thousand years. It felt so nice to be held by Celestia again. After several minutes of crying, Chrysalis pulled away from the hug. She wiped the tears from her eyes and sniffled. There was a loud scream from outside of the alleyway and a flash of green. They had both completely forgotten about the invasion.

"We should stop this," Chrysalis stated. Celestia nodded her head in agreement. They both stood up and walked out of the alley. This was going to be the start of something great.
