My Little Pony: The Changeling of Friendship

"Another Friendship School is opening for ponies only? And with the same goal as us: To become the most popular friendship school in the country no less." Twilight said.

"What's worse, the entire paper work is filled out and in full. Not sure whose running it, but we won't give up. We'll win this contest, no sweat." Cozy Glow said. "After all, you have me to help you win." She pointed out to twilight.

"You seem to think your not involved, Cozy Glow, except I found purple chess pieces around places, but the most prominent piece is a Bishop. Your the only foal I know with a chess obsession." Chancellor Nieghsay said. "...And yet, I've look through your chess sets; you don't own a single one with the same dark purple as those chess pieces." He added.

"Well duh! Of course I don't! It'd be an insult. Dark Purple is a dark coloration of my favorite Alicorn Princess." Cozy Glow said.

"Wait...you mean I'm your favorite Alicorn Princess? Why Cozy Glow...I'm touched." Twilight said.

Of course then again, that's probably me being biased. Cozy Glow thought to herself; not even daring to say out of her mouth in case Twilight heard her.

"I...see..." Nieghsay said. Someone likes her over Princess Celestia or Luna? Then again, I can't say I blame the kid. Princess Twilight did work hard to get where she is now, and I respect that.

"But if it's not Cozy Glow leaving those pieces, then who is?" Amiticia asked.

"I wish I knew." Chancellor Nieghsay said and then left.

Chancellor Nieghsay sighed as he returned home for the day. This whole thing with the two friendships shcools was getting out of hand, fast. Suddenly, as he reached for his cup, it was hit with a dark purple bishop chess piece. "WHO GOES THERE?!" The chancellor exclaimed.

"Chill Chancellor. We're on the same side." A male voice said. Suddenly a black pegasus colt came into the chancellor's view. "We want the same thing in the end: We both want education to remain exclusive to just us ponies." The colt said. He has a dark purple bishop for a cutie mark.

"Why do you want that, colt?" Chancellor Neighsay asked.

"To make sure history remains the same. See, I come from the future. In the future, the school I just helped make it's headway recently? Well it becomes more popular then that Princess Twilight's School. Once it does, your proven to be right. And if you want the same thing Chancellor, you'll help make that possible." The pegasus colt said.

"What's in it for me?" Chancellor neighsay said. "I prefer to keep things unbiased if you don't mind." He said.

"Well the woman who will become my mother in the future? She said she'll promise you a reward once you win in the past." The pegasus colt said.

"Interesting. You mean like a promotion through the system?" Chancellor Nieghsay asked.

"More like you going down in history as the pony who helped shaped equestria into the new age of friendship." The pegasus colt said.

"Interesting. I have always wanted to make my mark in Equestrian history. Whoever your mother turns out to be, she knows me well." Chancellor said.

"But of course she does. By the way, my full name is Prince Dusk T. Shine. But since we're going to be working together, you can just call me Dusk Shine if you want. I may be royalty in the future, but that's only if history stays the same." The Colt said.

"Well then Dusk Shine, let the fun begin." Chancellor Nieghsay said. "But only if we do this my way, got that, future Prince?" He asked. "That means no rigging things." The chancellor said.

"Sure thing, partner. Just follow my advice when it's needed and we'll be fine." Dusk Shine said.

"So far, all the students have been enjoying our friendship school. I just wish we knew how the other school is doing right now." Twilight Sparkle said.

"But we can't. Chancellor Neighsay said we couldn't. But that's fine. By the time the servey comes up, we'll be on top." Cozy Glow said and then went to her room. She discovered a dark purple bishop piece in her room. "You..." She said.

"Aw I'm hurt. Your my sister from the so called go--" Dusk Shine began before Cozy Glow suddenly put a hoof in the pegasus colt's mouth.

"Your not my real brother, and we don't talk about that. We're not supposed to." Cozy Glow said.

"Sadly, I did. Because I got a counterplan to make sure it's my 'you-know-what' that comes to pass." Dusk Shine said.

"You know if that happens, there will be war." Cozy Glow said.

"I really don't like this version of you. I think my version of you better. Much more warrior in nature. Which is how we should be. Because there will always be another threat to friendship and the society as it is now? It's much too weak to protect friendships if you ask me. Everyone is always quick to forgive and forget like nothing ever happened. Starlight got off scott free for basically brainwashing an entire village and kidnapping a princess not to mention the heroes of Equestria. And don't even get me started on Discord also getting off scott free for siding with Lord Tirek and all the things wrong with THAT." Dusk Glow said.

"Because that's how friendship works." Cozy Glow said.

"Wrong! That's how MERCY works. It's not the same thing as real friendship. Sure it's born from heardships but that sort of stuff SHOULD NOT be going so unpunished. Some sort of system MUST be put in place to make an example out of those that endanger pure friendship as Twilight knows it as." Dusk Shine said.

"But Starlight has been learning friendship under Twilight, and she helped save the wedding between Twilight and Amiticia." Cozy Glow said.

"I KNOW THAT! But what's that going to do for the next person who does EXACTLY what she did? Means no one learnt anything." Dusk Shine said.

"There will always be another Starlight, or another Discord, or another Lord Tirek." Cozy glow said.

"But what if the next generation of ponies is too weak to stand up to those kinds of threats? What then?" Dusk Shine asked. "At least on my side, every creature is strong enough for that." He added.

"No. Your wrong." Cozy Glow said.

"Well...we'll just see whose 'you khow what' comes true then, won't we?" Dusk Shine asked and then vanished.

"...It has to be mine that comes true...for the sake of the very world itself." Cozy Glow said.
