Changeling Kingdom 9:00am

In the Changeling Kingdom, the Changeling King known as Thorax was seen packing his black coloured backpack on his studying desk in his bedroom. And the reason behind that is because he has a meeting with his teacher and friend Princess Twilight Sparkle at a book convention in Canterlot.

But, this days convention is not only for having a merriment time with reading books, this was also an opportunity for him to ask Twilight out for a date. Thorax has eyed Twilight for eight months now, everytime he visited and had lessons with her, she was always as pulchritudinous as a rose.

"Alright, just gotta put some sandwiches in and completed!" Thorax said with a smile, he has officially finished packing his pencil case, water bottle and two sandwiches in his backpack. "Now all I need to do is to go to Twilight's castle and go to the convention together." He added with his cheeks flushing slightly because, he is now in love with Twilight.

Thorax then shook his head and snapped out of his daydream when he noticed that he was just standing there. After that, he wore his backpack and turned around to face his bedroom door. Then, he walked towards it. Once he got to it, he grabbed the handle with his magic and pulled it open. And to his great surprise, he saw his brother Pharynx standing in front of him.

"Oh Pharynx." Thorax said with a nonplus expression "Didn't see you there bro, kinda gave me quite the scare there." He finished with a chuckle.

Pharynx then rolled his eyes in amusement and decided to change the subject.

"Thorax, are you going to Ponyville?" Pharynx asked.

"Yes I am." Thorax replied with a nod "I have a meeting with my teacher Twilight today, and we're going to go to a book convention in Canterlot." He told him with an exuberant expression.

"This will also be an opportunity to ask her out on a date." He added.

Pharynx's eyes widened when he hears this, he didn't know that Thorax was going to ask Twilight out on a date as well. He thought that he was just going to have another ordinary lesson with her considering that he is Twilight's number one and most discipline student. And what will happen if he marries her?

"What the? Thorax is going to ask Twilight out on a date?" Pharynx thought incredulously "If that happens then Twilight will eventually become a Queen and rule over the changelings as well. They might even get a son and a daughter." He added with a disgusted expression.

Thorax then looked up at a clock on the wall and noticed that it was 9:10am. The convention is going to start in 10:00am. Then, he looked back at his brother.

"Well, no time to talk I've gotta go." Thorax told him "Goodbye Pharynx, I'll see you at 2:00pm." He said as he embraced his brother in a hug.

After a brief moment, he released himself from his brother and turned to his right. After that, he rushed to the front doors of the Changeling Kingdom.

"And be sure to take care of the hive as well as showing some respect to our subjects while I'm gone!" Thorax exclaimed as he ran downstairs.

Pharynx was left standing there with an emotionless expression.

"Ugh, I sure hope that being an uncle won't be difficult and frustrating." Pharynx said indignantly as images of him getting aggravated by Thorax and Twilight's happy children in his mind.


Ponyville 9:25am

Thorax has arrived in Ponyville after flying for fifteen minutes. He touched down onto the ground and many of the ponies bowed their heads to the King of the Changeling Kingdom, and Thorax replied to them all with a wave of his hoof.

"Alright, to Twilight's castle." Thorax told himself, then he rushed towards Twilight's castle so that he can go to the convention with his teacher as well as asking her out on a date.

After running in town for two minutes, Thorax has officially arrived at the front doors of Twilight's castle. He raised his right hoof and knocked on the door three times.

*Knock knock knock*

After Thorax has knocked on the door, he was surprised to hear that there were no hoofsteps or the door opening. And that got Thorax very perplexed.

"Huh? That's weird." Thorax said with a bewildered expression "I thought Twilight said to meet her in her castle." He finished.

Thorax then raised his right hoof again and gently knocked three more times on the door again. He also decided to call for her.

*Knock knock knock*

"Twilight?" Thorax called, but he had no answer "Miss Twilight, it's me Thorax, your student." He added.

Again, Thorax didn't get the sounds of anypony coming. But then, after a brief moment, the right door of the castle was open. Thorax thought that it was Twilight, but to his great surprise, he saw his friend Spike.

"Thorax!"

"Spike!"

The changeling and the young dragon both embraced each other in a friendship hug. After ten seconds, they both released each other and let out a chuckle.

"What brings you here buddy?" Spike asked.

"Oh well, I am here because I have a meeting with Twilight here and she and I will go to Canterlot's book convention." Thorax replied.

"Oh yeah." Spike said in realisation "Twilight did say something about her going to the book convention with you." He finished.

"Yes." Thorax said with a nod "Is Twilight home?" He asked.

"Yes she is." Spike said with a nod, but soon his smile slowly turned into a frown "But, she is not feeling well right now." He told him sadly.

"What?" Thorax asked with a perplexed expression "What do you mean?" He asked again.

"Come on in." Spike said as he opened the door and stepped aside "I'll tell you about it in the castle." He told him.

Thorax was perplexed at first, but then, he shrugged it off and entered the castle. Then, Spike started to guide him to Twilight's bedroom.


Thorax and Spike have been walking through the second floor hallway of Twilight's castle for one minute now.

"So Spike, what do you mean by saying that Twilight is not feeling well?" Thorax asked.

"You'll see once we get to her bedroom." Spike replied simply.

"Okay."

After walking in the hallway for ten seconds. Spike has officially finished guiding Thorax to the door of Twilight's bedroom. Before they entered, Spike turned around and looked up at his friend with a stern expression.

"Promise me that you won't freak out?"

"I won't."

"Good." Spike said with a smile. After that, he turned around and gripped onto the door handle of Twilight's bedroom. Then, he pushed it opened and entered.

Thorax then entered after Spike, and when he looked in front of him, he saw Twilights friends gathered at the back of Twilight's bed.

"Rainbow Dash? Rarity? Fluttershy? Applejack? Pinkie Pie?"

When the mane five all heard the intimate voice, they looked to their right and saw their friend Thorax.

"Thorax!" Rainbow Dash said with a smile.

"Why hello darling." Said Rarity.

"Nice to see you again Thorax." Said Fluttershy.

"Hello Thorax." Said Pinkie.

"Why if it isn't the Changeling King and Twilight's number one and most discipline student himself." Said Applejack.

"Hello girls." Thorax said with a smile. "What are you all doing here?" He asked them.

When the mane five heard Thorax's inquiry, they all frowned and looked back in front of Twilight's bed which made Thorax bewildered.

Thorax looked to where his friends were looking at and when he did, he noticed a large bump hidden under Twilight's blanket.

"Twilight?" Thorax called, but he didn't get a response back "Are you okay down there?" He asked. But again, he didn't get a respond.

Thorax then decided to go check on Twilight. He began approached the bed which made the mane five edgy.

Fluttershy tried to stop him but, she was too petrified to open her muzzle.

"Twilight? Are you okay?"

But, once Thorax was five centimeters from Twilight's bed, the blanket of Twilight's bed was pulled off and Thorax immediately took a step back in shock when he noticed Twilight's facial expression.

"Th-Thorax? Y-your h-here?" Twilight asked in a sick tone.
