Where Do Changelings Come From?

“Alright! Let’s start with the basics!”

“Right, because locking me in a room where nopony can find out about me is definitely the best way to learn friendship.”

Chrysalis wasn’t wrong. Since Twilight would be the one teaching her friendship, she’d decided to start their lessons in Ponyville before transitioning her back into the hive. Unfortunately, however, bringing her back to Ponyville had almost as many problems as keeping her back at the hive in the first place, and she’d need to make some serious progress before letting anypony find out about her.

“Friendship takes work,” the princess said as confidently as she could. “Now, why don’t you start by saying something nice about somepony?”

Chrysalis groaned. “Like who?”

“How about Thorax? Let’s start with him!”

The queen put her holey hoof to her chin, her eyes drifting to the corner of the room as she pondered deeply. “Thorax is… an idiot.”

“That’s… not a compliment.”

“Am I wrong?”

Yes, she was, but Twilight tried to force a smile anyway. “Friendship isn’t always about being right, Chrysalis. Sometimes the best thing to do is keep negative comments to ourselves.”

“You mean lie to their face? I think I’m beginning to like this friendship thing.”

Twilight groaned, slapping her hoof to her face. “Let’s try something different. Why don’t you say something nice about me?”

“I like how pretty you are.”

“...Now I can’t tell if you’re lying or not!”

The queen giggled softly, pacing around the alicorn who could already begin to feel her hooves shake. “Oh, I’m not lying, princess. Would you like me to tell you more about just how beautiful I think you are? That sounds like something a friend would do, right?”

Twilight never lost sight of the changeling as she circled around her. She knew she had to be up to something, but since there was still no justifiable reason to doubt her quite yet, maybe it would just be better to go along with what she was doing for right now.

“Sure, I guess. I suppose there’s no reason friends can’t compliment each other’s looks every once in a while.”

“Every once in a while? Darling, with beauty like yours, ponies should be telling you every day how pretty you are.”

Twilight blushed uncomfortably. “OK, for our next friendship lesson, it’s important to know that sometimes when you say too many nice things, it might make the other pony a little embarrassed. And self-conscious…”

Despite her borderline rebuke, Chrysalis only smiled wider, making Twilight swallow a hard gulp. She could tell that Chrysalis was up to something, but there was no way she was planning on escaping just from flattery alone; Chrysalis was too smart for something like that. Twilight continued to keep a safe distance between them, cautiously watching for any sudden movements, but so far, all the changeling queen had done was say nice things about her. There was no way she was legitimately trying to change already… was there?

“So,” Chrysalis began, cutting Twilight from her train of thought, “I would assume we can move onto our next lesson now.”

“Yes!” Twilight ejaculated suddenly, catching even Chrysalis off guard with her sudden intensity. “Right, uh, next we’ll be doing a recreational activity together. First we’ll do what you want to do, and then we’ll do what I want to do!”

The changeling raised an eyebrow. “Wouldn’t it make more sense for us to do something we both wanted to do?”

The comment made Twilight squint suspiciously, but there was no doubt that she had a point. “Sure! It’s just… What do you want to do that you think I’d want to do?”

“Talk.”

Twilight waited for her to continue for a few moments before realizing that there was no punchline. No “about world domination” or “about how stupid Thorax is” at the end. She just genuinely wanted to have a normal conversation, which still left one blaring question.

“About what?”

Chrysalis smirked. “Do you have a boyfriend?”

“WHAT?!” Quickly, the alicorn turned around, making sure the two of them were still alone and that nopony had accidentally walked in at the worst possible time. Then, descending her voice down to a whisper, she said, “Why would you ask something like that?”

“I thought that’s what friends talk about. Don’t you think it would be a suitable bonding moment to talk about your romantic life?”

“I… uh…” Twilight’s face turned an even brighter shade of red. “No, I don’t. Now can we move onto something else, please? Preferably something a little less embarrassing?”

With a sly smile, the changeling circled around Twilight once more before stopping right next to her face, closing the distance with far less room between them than ever. “Oh? I would have thought that somepony as desirable as you would have a long line of suitors. Don’t tell me. None of them are good enough for you?”

“Chrysalis… What are you doing?”

There had to be some kind of trick going on here, but the queen seemed to be playing the innocence card for as long as she could. “I’m just trying to bond with you, Princess. I have to say that our pasts aside, you’ve always interested me so much.”

“Really? How so?”

She couldn’t explain why, but somehow, it felt like the whole bonding thing was actually working, like she was actually forming some kind of connection with Chrysalis somehow. Of course, Twilight still had to be on her guard, but all Chrysalis had been talking about this whole time was her. That wasn’t something that ponies usually did unless they were really trying to make friends, so the least she could do was give Chrysalis the benefit of the doubt.

“There will be more books written about you than will ever fill the Canterlot libraries,” the queen continued. “You’ve saved Equestria from more threats than any other creature could hope to match in one thousand lifetimes. Now you’re giving me, one of your greatest rivals, another chance. I’m… grateful, to say the least.”

“You…” Twilight began with a gulp. “You really think I’m pretty?”

Chrysalis chuckled, but at this point, Twilight could no longer find any reason not to trust her, at least for right now. She couldn’t quite explain it, but she felt safer with her now than she had at any point before. The comment she’d made before about her being pretty seemed so uncomfortable and surprising; it made no sense that Twilight would be thinking about it now with such a contrasting feeling.

And yet, she felt comfortable with her. Calm, even.

The queen looked down at her with eyes that pierced her heart, making her breathe heavily. “Would you like me to prove to you how beautiful I think you are?”

Twilight blushed. “How?”

Luckily for her, however, Chrysalis decided not to answer with words. Before Twilight could even comprehend what was happening, she saw the queen’s eyes begin to close, her face coming so close that she could feel her breath against her neck. Her heart was racing, so why then, did she feel so at ease? Twilight could feel her hooves shaking nervously, so why did it feel like everything that was happening was an absolute dream come true?

While the alicorn struggled with all of her conflicting thoughts, however, she didn’t even realize that her mouth was pressing against her student’s, her hoof slowly wrapping around the changeling’s neck. Once she finally noticed the soft sensation of Chrysalis’s lips dancing around hers, she was too immersed to even think about what she was supposed to be feeling. Right now, she felt… safe, and as far as she was concerned, that was all that mattered for the time being.

Eventually, though, the dreaded time came when Chrysalis slowly pulled her mouth away from Twilight’s, making her suddenly feel empty, like a part of her own body had been taken away. Upon blinking her eyes, however, Twilight realized what she’d just done, and then her face flushed so red that even Big Mac wouldn’t compare.

“Oh, my goodness! What just happened?!”

“We kissed,” the changeling quipped. “Nice tongue, by the way.”

Twilight slapped her hooves to her mouth, trying not to cry from embarrassment. “I’m sorry! That was a mistake! Let’s just go back to our friendship lessons and forget that ever happened.”

Chrysalis smirked, making the alicorn’s heart reflexively twinge. Why was Twilight feeling this way? Sure, Chrysalis was more beautiful than she remembered, but the only reason she was even here was to learn friendship so that the changelings wouldn’t go extinct! This was no time for romance lessons!

...But Chrysalis did kiss her back. Did that mean she liked her too?

Twilight slapped her face, making Chrysalis flinch in confusion. “Sorry about that,” the princess said with a light chuckle. “Anyway, which lesson were we talking about again?”

“I believe we were talking about--”

“HONESTY! That’s a great lesson! Hey, speaking of honesty, how do you feel about me? Romantically, I mean.”

Once the words left Twilight’s lips, her eyes went wide. How could she even ask a question like that? Chrysalis didn’t seem like she particularly minded, though. She was even… smiling. Did that mean…?

“Now, when you say ‘romantically’, do you mean sexually?”

Twilight gulped. “I uh… suppose that could be one interpretation, but I mean like sexually as a friend, of course.” Again, the alicorn flinched from the words she’d unwittingly said, but like before, Chrysalis didn’t seem to mind. There was no way Chrysalis actually had feelings for her, at least not from a logical perspective, but the wider she smiled, the more Twilight felt steam sizzling out of her horn.

“Well, I suppose you are kind of cute.”

“Like cute sexually? Not that I’m implying we should have sex yet. It’s probably better if we wait for…” Before Twilight could finish her sentence, however, Chrysalis put a hoof on each of her shoulders, making Twilight slowly lean backwards as the changeling closed the gap between them. “...or, you know, not.”

Chrysalis moved in closer, her alluring mouth practically calling out to Twilight’s. This wasn’t right! Twilight was supposed to be her friendship teacher, but there was no denying how badly she wanted to feel their tongues wrapped together, feeling Chrysalis’s hoof exploring her body, intertwining their legs and pressing their female anatomies down. Just as Twilight felt her eyelids closing to give into her carnal pleasure, though, she looked into Chrysalis’s eyes one last time, seeing her own reflection in her pupils.

And then Twilight pushed her away.

“I KNEW IT!”

Chrysalis toppled to the floor, rubbing her head in confusion while Twilight seethed in anger. “What is the meaning of this?!” the changeling hissed, but Twilight held her ground, stomping her hoof down in anger.

“I should have known! I can’t believe I thought you actually had feelings for me! Ugggghhhh I feel so stupiiiiid!”

The alicorn buried her hooves into her face, trying to block out Chrysalis’s image as much as she could, but even with most of her face covered, she could still see the changeling queen pulling herself back up to her hooves. “Care to explain what just happened?”

“You…”

She couldn’t even think of the words to begin to express how angry she was. Twilight’s emotions had never been toyed with like that before. For once in her life, she actually thought she was attractive, feminine, and desirable, but when she looked into Chrysalis’s eyes, she saw her own eyes flashing a light shade of green. It was all just a changeling trick, one that she’d personally seen Chrysalis use once on her brother, and now she finally knew how it felt. Twilight had been manipulated, used as Chrysalis’s puppet against her will, but now that the spell had been broken, she felt nothing but rage.

“You never liked me!” Twilight screamed. “It was all a trap to get me to let you back out into Equestria! I should just turn you back to stone right now!”

Despite the absolute fury in Twilight’s voice, however, Chrysalis simply giggled in response. “You won’t do that.”

“And why the hoof not?!”

“Because even if I don’t have feelings for you, you still have them for me.”

Just as Twilight began focusing all of her magic into her horn, she stopped in shock. There was no way that was true! The spell had to be broken! She’d seen right through it!

“I’m not falling for any more of your tricks, Chrysalis! I’m turning you back into a statue right now!”

“Then do it.”

Again, Twilight focused as much magical power into her horn as she could, rising into the air and aiming at Chrysalis to put her back into her stone prison where she belonged, but no matter how hard she focused, it wouldn’t come out. She had the spell ready! There was literally nothing stopping her! As Chrysalis stood completely still with a smug grin, however, Twilight was the one who truly felt frozen.

She knew it was a trick. She knew that her feelings were nothing more than a bunch of changeling pheromones. She knew Chrysalis didn’t really love her, but... Twilight still loved her.

Finally, with a sad sigh, the light emanating from the tip of Twilight’s horn disappeared, and Twilight slowly descended back down to the ground. She didn’t know what would happen next, but she just couldn’t imagine her life without Chrysalis in it.

“Wise choice, Princess,” the changeling jeered. “Now, how do you suppose we take back the hive? I was thinking an all-out assault on the throne with--”

“No.”

Suddenly, the smile on the queen’s face disappeared, replaced instead with an infuriated scowl. “What did you just say?”

“I said no. You may have my feelings under your control, but I’m the one who gets to decide what I do with them.”

Chrysalis groaned with an exaggerated eye roll. “You know that without me, the changelings are as good as gone, right?”

“I know that, but just like how I love you, you love your species, and I know you’re not going to let them die out when you’re the last hope they have.” Chrysalis growled, kicking the floor in anger, yet saying nothing that would contradict her statement. “Now I want to teach you about friendship, not just for the changelings, but for me too. I want to do everything in my power to keep you with me for as long as possible, so…”

Chrysalis looked up from the ground upon feeling something tugging at her hoof, just to see Twilight with tears threatening to drip down her face. Twilight knew that these emotions weren’t real and that Chrysalis wouldn’t care about her no matter how much she cried, but even still, if there was any chance, she would take it.

“...will you please give friendship a shot? For me?”

The changeling remained still and silent for several seconds before yanking her hoof away from Twilight, glaring daggers at the wall in front of her. Just as the princess was about to break down and let all of her emotions come flooding out, though, Chrysalis smiled.

“Well, since you figured me out, I guess there’s really no point in hiding it anymore. It’s true. Even if Thorax remains king of the changelings, I’ll still lay the eggs needed to continue my species. Maybe I could even make a new queen that’ll take the hive back for me. Perhaps we could make a deal.”

Twilight wanted to say yes already, even without knowing any of the details, but with a hard gulp, she bit down on her lip and nodded her head. Even if she loved Chrysalis, it didn’t mean she had to give into all of her demands.

“I was thinking,” the queen continued, pacing in circles around the alicorn. “What if we put the friendship lessons on hold for now while I tell you how a queen lays eggs? That is the reason you released me in the first place, isn’t it?”

“I guess so,” Twilight began with a frown. “But you’ll promise to learn friendship when you’re done, right?!”

Chrysalis smirked. “Of course. Anything for you, Princess.”

Twilight’s heart fluttered, and before she could pass out from glee, she quickly nodded her head and said, “OK, then. You can lay the eggs first. Did you want to get started on that right away? Does that mean we should go back to the hive, or--?”

“Here is fine.”

The alicorn tilted her head to the side in confusion. “O...K? I’m not really sure my bedroom is the best place to put changeling eggs, though. Wouldn’t it be a better idea to go back to--you know--the place where changelings actually live?”

Chrysalis chuckled softly, making the hair on Twilight’s body stand on edge for two completely contradictory reasons. “I think you might have the wrong idea. I can’t just pop them out and wait for them to hatch. They need to be…” Suddenly, Chrysalis had appeared next to Twilight’s ear, breathing gently against her neck, making her shiver in ecstasy. “...nurtured.”

Once Chrysalis pulled away with a smile, Twilight could feel one of her eyebrows still sticking up. “OK. So how do we nurture them?”

“You might want to close your eyes for this next part.”

Twilight still had no idea what was going on, but it wasn’t like keeping her eyes open would get her anywhere. Then, after letting her eyelids slowly come together, she waited in silence, praying to Celestia that Chrysalis wasn’t trying to escape. Right when she was about to peek, however, she felt something on top of her, something heavy enough to make her legs wobble as she tried supporting the weight on her back.

“Can I open my eyes now?”

“Trust me. You’re going to want to keep them closed for a while.”

She couldn’t help but open them up again for curiosity if anything, but the moment she did, her eyes just squeezed back together as she felt something piercing her between her legs. Twilight bit down on her lip to endure the pain, but the feeling seemed to amplify by the millisecond, going deeper and deeper with every inch that entered growing wider and wider at her entrance. Right when she felt like she couldn’t take any more, however, she felt it pull back out, and as it trailed along the soft crevices of her vaginal walls, she couldn’t help breathing out a soft sigh she hadn’t expected.

Then, once she felt whatever was penetrating her slide all the way out, she breathed a quick sigh, just for her breath to get caught in her chest as the object made its way back inside her vagina. Now that the surprise was over, the pain was starting to disappear, replaced instead with the feeling of something warm hitting her pressure points in a way she’d never admit to anypony. She couldn’t tell what it was; she’d never felt anything this shape or size before, but the more it travelled inside her, the harder she felt herself breathe. Without even thinking, Twilight lowered her upper body, laying her cheek against the ground while lifting her lower half higher into the air, and that’s when she could feel Chrysalis’s soft hooves wrapping around her, making her heart feel as warm as the substance between her legs.

“Ohh, Chryssy,” Twilight sighed. “What’s happening to me?”

She could hear the changeling giggle behind her, making her spine tingle in bliss. “I’m just doing what you brought me here to do.”

Twilight didn’t understand in the slightest, but so long as she was with Chrysalis, she could feel safe, especially now that she was growing accustomed to the feeling within her marehood. Again, the object pushed deeper inside her, making Twilight bite down on her lip to keep herself from making any embarrassing noises, but whenever it touched her in a way she hadn’t expected, she really had no control over the sounds she made. Instead, she completely gave in, allowing whatever this thing was to take total control over her body, and the more she submitted, the better it felt between her thighs. That was, at least, until she started to realize that her own anatomy was beginning to act on its own.

“Maaaaaybe we should take a break for a minute,” Twilight said, jumping forward and slipping out whatever was inside her pussy. “I mean, at least until I understand what’s--EEP!”

Once Twilight turned around, she could finally see what had been inside her this whole time. Something was protruding from the changeling’s pelvis, something very similar to what a stallion would have, yet somehow completely unique. No wonder that felt so good! It was almost like they were having s--

“Excuse me,” the princess said, clearing her throat. “I didn’t mean to react… erm… like that.”

Right when she expected Chrysalis to get angry, however, she simply giggled with a sly grin. “Do you mean you’re sorry about how you reacted to this, or are you sorry about how wet you were getting down there?”

“...I may have several things worth apologizing for…”

“Don’t worry, Princess. Your, uh--‘nectar’ we’ll call it--is actually very beneficial for changeling reproduction. Changelings usually secrete their own lubricant, but I’m sure yours will do just fine.”

“And… while we’re talking about that, would you mind if I asked… um… well, what I mean to say is… What exactly is that thing you had in my vagina?”

Chrysalis looked down at the phallus-resembling object and smiled. “It’s called an ovipositor. It’s the main organ responsible for changeling reproduction. Every queen is given royal jelly at a young age, which is how they’re developed and why we’re the only ones who can lay eggs.”

“...This might end up being a really awkward question, but--”

“Yes, it’s like a girl penis.”

Twilight’s eyes went wide. Her face burned so hot that she could practically hear her cheeks crackle. If this was really what she was using back there, then by literally every definition, the two of them were actually having sex! If that was the case, though, then did that mean…?

“You want me to have your babies?”

Twilight couldn’t believe she’d actually said it out loud, but she was way too curious to be worried about how embarrassing that was. Chrysalis, though, looked at Twilight as if she’d been waiting for her to ask this question all along.

“Of course. Changelings need a female host to nurture their eggs before they hatch. Why? Is that a problem?”

Twilight took a step back, waving her hooves defensively. “N-no! That’s not what I meant at all!”

“Then…” Chrysalis smiled. “...should we continue?”

The alicorn audibly gulped, trying to come up with any excuse she could not to go through with it. It wasn’t like she didn’t want to continue what they were doing--there was really nothing she could think of that was better than the feeling of Chrysalis between her legs, pumping her seed into Twilight’s ovaries--but she’d be lying if she said she wasn’t at least a little bit nervous. Even if the changelings needed her to go through with it for the sole purpose of their prolonged extinction, did Twilight really have enough confidence to have sex with the girl of her dreams?

As she continued to trail backwards, however, Chrysalis continued to close the gap between them, never letting Twilight out of her reach. Then, Twilight finally realized that even if she lacked courage, even if she felt like she wasn’t mare enough to deserve someone like Chrysalis, her queen would fill in where she lacked, both literally and metaphorically.

“Yeah,” Twilight said, nodding her head with a humble smile. “I think I’d like that.”

“Good, because I might need a little bit of preparation if you don’t want this to hurt like last time.”

...But Twilight kinda liked how it hurt last time.

“OK. What kind of preparation did you have in mind?”

Chrysalis put her hoof to her chin as her eyes travelled to the corner of the room. “Perhaps it would be best if I was properly lubricated before we began.”

Twilight waited a few moments trying to think of a solution before saying, “Oh, OK! I think I might be able to make some lubricant with what I have around the castle. I mean, not to brag, but I’ve made some pretty complicated potions in my lifetime. How hard could it be to--”

“With your mouth.”

Suddenly, Twilight’s face turned red. This situation was already pushing the limits of her comfort zone, but having something like that in her mouth?! Still, it wasn’t like she’d particularly mind savoring the taste of what Chrysalis had between her legs at least once in her life. She just had to make sure she didn’t accidentally pass out first.

“Does that work for you?”

Chrysalis’s question made Twilight shake her head violently to pull herself back down to earth. “Y-yeah. I’d love to, my queen.”

Then, with a subtle smile that made the alicorn’s heart skip two beats, she opened her mouth and said with a soft, gentle voice, “Good. Now, if you would do me the honor of getting on your knees.”

Twilight nodded, looking down at the floor nervously before following the queen’s orders, feeling the rough carpet underneath her as she straightened her back. The changeling took her time taking her own stance in front of her, rising to her hind legs with her feminine phallus rising into the air, making Twilight’s eyes go wide as it towered over her head. It practically went from her chin to the tip of her horn, maybe even a little bit longer, making the pony wonder how she’d ever be able to handle something like this in her mouth.

With a trembling hoof, Twilight reached up, lightly grabbing the changeling by her ovipositor, feeling her soft, smooth skin that made Chrysalis moan behind her lips. Her mouth watered just looking at it, let alone imagining how it would feel against her taste buds. Finally, the alicorn slowly pulled down the changeling anatomy to her lips, lowered her jaw, and gradually allowed it inside the warmth of her mouth.

Immediately, a rush of dopamine surged through her senses, feeling her spine shiver as her heartbeat escalated to twice its normal rhythm. Maybe it was just the pheromones speaking to her, but the taste of her dick was the most exhilarating thing she’d ever experienced, causing her tongue to lick her like it was necessary for her survival. As much as she hoped that she was doing a good job pleasing the girl who’s penis she was sucking in the first place, Twilight couldn’t help but think of how much fun she was having either way.

Meanwhile, the changeling above her was beginning to chuckle softly between coos, stroking Twilight’s mane as she desperately tried getting more and more of Chrysalis’s ovipositor down her throat. Even though Twilight thought she was plenty big before she got started, she could feel Chrysalis continue to grow longer, making her practically drip between her thighs.

“Looks like somepony is having fun.”

Twilight didn’t even bother looking up. She just nodded her head with her lips moving back and forth against Chrysalis’s member, her eyes half-lidded as her hoof caressed her cock. Even if Chrysalis was supposed to be the one getting off, Twilight was pretty sure she was the one getting the better deal, not only because of the electrifying taste, but also because of who it belonged to. Just the idea of it was making Twilight’s insides tighten up, begging for attention. Would it be weird if she started masturbating? Surely Chrysalis wouldn’t mind if Twilight started rubbing herself in the meantime. After all, she had to prepare her own body for when the two of them moved onto the next phase.

Slowly, discreetly, the mare moved her spare hoof between her legs, lifting it up her thigh and coming down to the nub at the tip of her vulva. Almost immediately upon contact, Twilight moaned onto Chrysalis’s dick, squeezing her legs together as the speed of her hoof rubbed her queen harder. She wanted to look up and see what kind of face she was making, but there was no way she could open her eyes with all the stimulation that was going on.

Right when Twilight was starting to lose herself in the process, however, she could feel Chrysalis pulling herself back out, making Twilight inadvertently grab her dick harder. Was Chrysalis calling her name? It was so hard to hear anymore, but even if she was, Twilight could not let anything stop her from savoring this experience. She just had to keep sucking, rolling her tongue around every inch of the changeling’s girl cock.

Again, without her consent, Chrysalis began pulling her shaft out of Twilight’s mouth, this time making it all the way out, leaving the alicorn with a look of horny despondency. When Twilight looked up to see the queen’s reaction, she had mostly assumed that she would be angry with her, that Twilight would get the scolding of her life, but instead, Chrysalis raised an eyebrow with a half-smirk.

“I never knew you were so zealous when it came to blowjobs. I’m guessing you have some experience?”

Twilight wiped a drop of drool from her lips, licking up anything that would keep the decadent taste of Chrysalis’s member in her mouth. “Huh? O-oh! No, nothing like that. This is my first time. Can we go back to doing it now?”

Chrysalis waited in silence for a few moments before rubbing her chin, looking off towards the corner of the room. “I think I may have used too many pheromones. I knew direct mind control would have been a better idea.”

“Oh, Chrysssyyyy~!” Suddenly, Chrysalis looked down at her leg to see Twilight with her hooves wrapped around her, sensually grazing her skin with sultry eyes. “You aren’t playing hard to get, are you? You playgirl.”

The queen rolled her eyes. “Oh, please. I wouldn’t exactly call it ‘playing hard to get’ when we both know I’m just using you to keep my species alive.”

“Hmm… I don’t believe you.”

Even if Chrysalis wanted to be mad, she looked far too curious to be able to hold a scowl for long. “And what, pray tell, makes you believe something as preposterous as that?”

“I dunno. I just have a feeling.”

The queen groaned, placing a hoof to her forehead as she shook her head in exhaustion, almost as if she were dealing with the princess version of Pinkie Pie right now who was being a royal pain in the--

“Those are the pheromones talking,” Chrysalis hissed. “Not only do I not have the same feeling for you as you have for me, but I’m not even capable of feeling love! In fact, I don’t even want to spend any more time with you than is absolutely necessary!”

Twilight giggled. “Oh, sweetie cakes, that is so like you. You know what made me fall in love with you in the first place?”

“I literally just told you.”

“I think it was when you called me pretty. That was the first time anyone’s ever said that about me before.”

Chrysalis opened her mouth to snap at her with another remark, but right before she managed to get anything out, she lifted an eyebrow, unconsciously tilting her head to the side. “You’re joking, right? Nopony has ever called you pretty before? I’m really the first one?”

Twilight nodded. “Yeah, I’ve always spent so much time studying that I never really got the chance to learn about makeup or how to style my mane. Plus, it’s not like I ever really spoke to anypony before I moved to Ponyville, and after that… Well, you’ve seen how busy I’ve been since then. Haven’t exactly had many chances to go on any dates, heheh. Not that anypony’s ever asked me on one in the first place…”

The queen continued to listen with her jaw slightly open, lifting her holey hoof up for a moment before placing it back to the ground. Even with all the alien chemicals interfering with Twilight’s thought processes, she could see the look of concern in Chrysalis’s face, which proved to her that even if she didn’t say anything, she really did care. Chrysalis was starting to give friendship a chance. She was just too proud to admit it right now.

Finally, the changeling turned her cheek with a huff, scowling at nothing in particular. “Whatever. It’s not like your dating issues have any bearings on my life.”

“I know. I’m just glad that I have you here, even if there is something wrong with my brain, but then again, I guess that’s what love is supposed to feel like, isn’t it?”

Twilight chuckled awkwardly, but Chrysalis continued to look away, almost like she was trying to physically prevent herself from making eye contact. After a few moments passed, though, the changeling looked down at Twilight’s hooves and mumbled, “I suppose we should get started on the fertilization process now. No point in postponing it any further.”

“Oh! Right! Sorry, you’ll have to excuse me. I don’t really have much experience in uh… that either.”

The queen giggled. “Luckily for you, I’ve had decades of practice.”

Twilight grinned as much as she could, but even if Chrysalis could make up for her lack of experience, it still wouldn’t keep her from feeling self-conscious about having a foreign object in her vagina. Then, rubbing her hoof up her leg nervously, Twilight muttered, “D-don’t forget! We’re doing this as part of your friendship lessons, OK?”

“Oh? Well, in that case, I’ll try not to be as rough as I would be with the changelings.”

“...Friends like it rough sometimes too, you know.”

Before the princess could wind up saying anything else that would only embarrass herself further, Chrysalis put a period on the conversation by placing her hoof onto the top of Twilight’s back, pinning her upper body to the ground. Even if Twilight wanted to get out for some reason, the grip Chrysalis had on her was way too strong to handle by herself, leaving her body completely subject to the will of the changeling queen. Twilight’s tail swished from side to side, eagerly awaiting the feeling of being penetrated again while trying not to gush out onto her legs.

“Ready, sweetie?”

Twilight giggled, grinning wider than she wanted to admit. “Yes, my queen.”

Finally, she could feel the ovipositor running up her legs, making her shoulders arch together in anticipation. Once the feeling began to prod her lower lips, however, her tongue rolled out of her mouth, silently begging the sensation of her femininity being taken from her. Every second that it took to slip inside literally pained Twilight’s mind, like her ovaries were screaming at her to give in, but in just a few brief moment’s, Chrysalis would be--

*Knock, knock*

Twilight’s eyes went wide. Suddenly, pulling herself out of the changeling’s grip, she readjusted her mane and cleared her throat while recomposing herself. “C-come in!”

She didn’t even look behind her to see what Chrysalis was doing. She’d been caught so off guard by the knock on the door that she didn’t even think to check that the changeling’s… thing was properly put away. Luckily for them both, however, the creature that opened the door was just Thorax, peeking in nervously with a sheepish smile.

“I’m not interrupting anything, am I?” he said with his half-smile slowly disappearing.

Before Twilight could answer with some nervous response that would only give the two of them away, though, Chrysalis intervened. “Just a friendship lesson, so I guess not really.”

“Oh, good.” The king then entered into the room, closing the door behind him as Twilight continued to switch nervous glances between the changelings. “So, how are the lessons going?”

Again, Twilight opened her mouth, but again, Chrysalis interrupted. “They’re going just swimmingly. I’m sure I’ll turn a disgusting shade of cerulean in no time.”

Thorax cocked his head to the side before giving Twilight a confused stare, which made the droplets on her forehead turn into a faucet. “Uhh… Princess? I don’t mean to downplay your teaching abilities or anything, but it sounds like these lessons are going a little too well. At least for Chrysalis.”

Chrysalis glared angrily, but even though Twilight knew she should let Chrysalis do all the talking, she couldn’t stop herself from blurting out in defense mode. “Too well? No such thing! Progress is always better when it’s quicker, right? Heheh. Heheh. *Ahem!* Anyway, what brings you here, Thorax?”

The king blinked, shaking his head as if to wave off a confusing discussion that he didn’t want to get into. “It’s just time for my shift.”

“Shift?! What shift?!”

“...Uhhh, the shift where we agreed to take turns watching Chrysalis so that she wouldn’t try anything funny?”

It was then that Twilight finally realized that she was trying something funny, allowing her to come back to her senses at least momentarily.

“Ohhhhh! Right! Your shift! Well, I’ll be back tomorrow for our next lesson on friendship, OK Chryssy? I mean--right, Chrysalis?”

The changeling smirked in a way that was just seductive enough to make Twilight gulp in fear, praying to herself that their secret wouldn’t get out. “Oh, don’t worry, Princess. I’ll be looking forward to it.”

Twilight quickly changed her glance to Thorax, silently wondering if he’d caught any of the obvious subtleties in her voice, but thankfully for her, Thorax seemed much more concerned about how much she was sweating to notice. “Right! So I’ll just… uh… be going now… Bye!”

She barely caught a glimpse of the two of them with confused looks on their faces, but once Twilight shut the door behind her, she immediately slid down to her haunches, exhaling a deep breath while covering her face with her hooves. What even was that back there? Sure, Twilight got anxious from time to time--and nearly getting caught in coitous was more than enough to be nervous about--but she nearly gave both of them away! She’d have to be a little bit more conscientious the next day, assuming the pheromones hadn’t worn off by then.

If she was somehow cured the next day, though, would she still go through with it? Of course, her hormonal mind was screaming how much she wanted to do it again, but what was she really doing this for? Wouldn’t it make more sense for Chrysalis to go through the mating ceremony with another changeling? What would Ponyville say if they saw their princess walking around town with a baby bump?

There was just always so much to think about since she’d taken over for Celestia and Luna, but the last problem she ever thought she’d have was changeling reproduction. Hopefully by the time she started her next shift, she would at least have an idea of what to do, this time without any chemical interference.
