Well, That’s a Plot Twist
“You Have a WHAT?!”
By MlpHero
The sun began to set over the changeling hive, signaling that it was time for bed. It wasn’t an easy task to try and clear the hallways of sleeping changelings, but thankfully, Pharynx had help.
~~~
“Heh, thanks for the help guys,” Pharynx said, looking at the two unreformed changelings at his side.
The male, Blue Fang, smiled. “Heh, it was our pleasure to clean these hallways of walking rainbow moose, wasn’t it Ky?” he chuckled and nudged the changeling to his right.
Kydra smiled and nodded, looking at the two boys. “Of course, Phar. And Bluey,“ she turned her gazed to the blue-fanged changeling, before turning it into a playful glare. “Be nice.”
Blue chuckled. “Whaaa? Ain’t that what they are?” he joked, smiling.
“Looks like someone doesn’t want their snuggles tonight,” Kydra replied, a smirk filling her face.
Blue Fang blushed. “Nngh... f-fine...”
The two giggled and nuzzled each other, causing Pharynx to roll his eyes. “Guys, if you’re seriously gonna flirt right here, I’m gonna turn you both into rice krispy treats.”
The two changelings blushed. “Heheh... sorry...” Blue apologized, scratching his head awkwardly.
Kydra smiled and nuzzled Blue. He chuckled and looked around. They continued walking, scaring a few more changelings who were sleeping. The three laughed, watching the many changelings flee in terror. It continued until Thorax has gotten involved. He walked over to the three changelings.
“Hey guys, knock it off,” the changeling king said, looking at the three.
The three pouted. “But Thoraaaaaaax!” the three whined in unison.
“No buts. You guys are scaring the life out of everyone!” Thorax pointed at some of the changelings, who were shaking like scared cats.
Pharynx rolled his eyes. “It’s not my fault they’re scared easily. I mean, who the heck is so scared that they jump like wet cats?”
Thorax frowned and shook his head. “No matter how scared they are, you shouldn’t be scaring them like this,” he scolded. “It’s mean. How would you like it if someone did it to you?”
Kydra sighed. “I guess we wouldn’t like it...”
“Exactly.” Thorax looked at them. “Now, I expect an apology from each of—”
“Can’t talk, gotta go!” Blue said, grabbing the two and burning off. The three continued running for a good while, then they stopped at Pharynx and Thorax’s room. The group panted, looking at each other.
“Well that was...” Kydra tried to think of a word for it.
“Mediumishly good?” Pharynx suggested.
“Eh, maybe,” Kydra said, shrugging. The others shrugged as well.
Pharynx chuckled and looked at his room door. He nodded at them. “Well, I’m gonna go get some sleep. It’s getting late.”
Blue and Kydra nodded. “Yeah,” Kydra said, smirking at Blue. “I think this one needs snuggles after all this fun.”
Blue Fang blushed. “I... I I wouldn’t mind snuggles...”
“Heheh, that’s my cute blueberry,” Kydra teased, tapping Blue’s nose. “Boop!”
“Eep!” Blue squeaked, blushing harder.
Pharynx fake gagged and rolled his eyes. “T-Take your sappy love crap back to your room.”
Kydra giggled. “Oh, don’t act like you and Tempy don’t do this all the time.”
Pharynx blushed as hard as Blue. “H-How’d you...?”
Kydra giggled, smirking at him. “I’m always one step ahead’a you Prince Pharynx~”
Pharynx blushed harder. It was no secret that Kydra was Queen Chrysalis’ heir to the throne. So, it was no secret she carried her mother’s traits, her most prominent being going berserk on mating day. She, unlike other changelings, carried very unique blood. Despite all of this, Kydra hated being known for her traits. She didn’t even like being called ‘Princess Kydra’. She merely wanted the same equal treatment as everyone else.
Pharynx rolled his eyes. He felt a bit jealous of Kydra’s stature. He’d never replace his brother, sure, but he always wanted to be the Queen’s heir back during her reign. He liked being Head of Patrol but...
...it never felt the same.
But, he digress.
“Whatever Ky...” he grumbled. “Why don’t you like being a changeling princess anyway?”
She rolled her eyes. “I just wanted to be equal to you guys. Is that too much to ask?”
Pharynx shrugged. “If I was second in command, I would make a stronger military.”
“Heh, the Black Widows exist,” Blue pointed out. “Without them, we wouldn’t have been able to take Hill 272.”
Pharynx rolled his eyes. “Scarab could’ve handled it... he just had a poor sense of judgment...”
“Heh, sure. He just didn’t want to admit that we girls could kick the RG’s flanks,” Kydra smirked.
Pharynx grumbled. “Whatever... go to sleep...” he grumbled and closed his door.
The two unreformed changelings chuckled and trotted to their room. Kydra smiled at Blue Fang, who was looking more relaxed than usual. If anything, that made her day more than anything. He wasn’t uncommon for him to worry about the Spec Ops team and doing his duty as a Lieutenant, or sometimes even PTSD flashbacks to the Second Changeling-Pony War. However, Kydra loved seeing Blue more calm and relaxed.
“Heheh, come on blueberry,” Kydra teased as they approached her room. “Now that you’re all relaxed, chances are, you won’t try to escape from my snuggles.”
Blue blushed and rolled his eyes. “W-Whatever...” he muttered. He did indeed like the snuggles and cuddles, but always acted like he didn’t. Didn’t matter, however, as Kydra knew he did.
Kydra opened the door and let Blue in, who, upon entering, flopped down onto her bed. He liked Kydra’s bed very much, as it was softer than his bed.
“Heheh, so Ky, about them snuggles?” Blue teased, curling up in the bed.
Kydra chuckled and rolled her eyes. “Heh, and I thought you didn’t like them.”
Blue blushed. “W-Well... I uh...” he struggled to find words.
Kydra giggled and laid beside him. Blue smiled and pulled the covers up, wrapping the two up.
“Heheh, cozy?” he asked.
Kydra giggled again. “Mhm.”
Blue smiled and nuzzled closer. Kydra smiled back, wrapping her hooves around him, pulling him close. Blue chuckled and settle in, which usually consisted of his legs gently kicking a bit to try and get the most out of the cold sheets. However, as he was kicking around, he came a bit closer to Kydra, who was blushing.
“B-Blue... you’re getting awfully close to my—”
Blue felt his knee gently graze something. Something that felt... familiar. However, he couldn’t remember what it was. So, he moved his knee up and down against the object. Then, Kydra blushed and rolled away and laid down back first. It was at this point that Blue noticed a slight bulge on Kydra’s part of the blanket.
His eyes widened and he looked at Kydra, who was blushing furiously. “K-Ky...?” Blue grabbed the blanket. He slowly lifted it up and his eyes widened, just as Kydra whispered something in his ear.
“You have a WHAT?!!!!”
~~~
The two changelings sat in awkward silence for a while, not really knowing what to do or what to say. Kydra still had a boner, which only made the situation even more awkward.
“Is... Is it gonna go down?” Blue asked.
“I don’t know, okay?!” Kydra snapped, before looking away and blushing. “I... I don’t know...”
Blue rubbed her back. “It’s okay Ky...”
“No it’s not!” She looked at him. “Do you know why I wanted equal treatment?! Because I’m different!” she snapped. “I don’t see any other changeling walking around with a marehood and a stallionhood!” Kydra looked down. “Other than Chrysalis...”
Blue’s eyes widened slightly. “Chrysalis had both too?”
Kydra nodded. “Mhm... it’s uh... a mating thing... if there are no males, then we’d have to do that dirty work... if there are no females, well... yeah...”
Blue nuzzled her. “I see...” he muttered, putting a hoof around her. “But how come you never told me about it?”
Kydra looked at him and hesitated. “I just...” Blue put a hoof on her shoulder in reassurance. She took a breath. “I just didn’t want you to think I was... some kinda freak...”
Blue smiled. “Ky, I would never judge you for how you look of what you have... I’ll still love you...”
“R-Really?” She looked at him.
“Of course I do,” he said, hugging her. Kydra smiled and hugged back. He smiled back, nuzzling her, then looked down. “Heheh, now, how about we do something about that, eh?”
Kydra blushed and nodded. The two then buried themselves underneath the covers...
