Changing a Changeling

Back at Twilight's castle, Twilight and Starlight had placed the still frozen Chrysalis in the center of the main hall where the map usually was. Twilight was still a little nervous about what Starlight was suggesting, as she saw Starlight preparing the spell she said "Are you sure this is a good idea Starlight? I mean... it didn't exactly work out the way you intended last time, though I hope you remember that doing it in the first place was a mistake".

Starlight groaned "Yes Twilight! I know what I'm doing! Besides, I've worked out all the kinks in this spell and even if it doesn't work properly, she's a villain, why do you care?"

Twilight said "Relax, I just want to make sure that you are certain that this is necessary and that it's fair"

Starlight deadpanned and said "Are you really going to talk magic ethics when you almost doomed a bunch of vampire fruit bats to starve to death by forcing them to not eat Applejack's apples whilst also almost turning your friend into a gigantic vampire fruit bat pony hybrid? Not to mention you know spells that can force people to be nice, turn frogs into sentient oranges and blast away clones of Pinkie Pie and-"

Twilight interrupted her and said "OK OK, I get it! I never claimed to be a fucking saint Starlight!"

Starlight got back to her spell preparation "OK... some Fiducia Compelus, a little Cogeria and to top it all off a bit of Persuadere, that should do the trick!" Starlight gathered all the magic up in her horn and fired it at the crystal that contained Chrysalis, luckily the magic was able to pass through the solid block and envelope Chrysalis entirely. Starlight broke apart the crystal, seeing Chrysalis still in an entranced state, now for the trigger.

"Chrysalis! Hear my voice and listen!"

A burst of light flooded the room before dissipating into nothingness. Chrysalis was stood there and blinked a few times before shaking her head and seeing Starlight Glimmer, but she didn't attack, or snarl or try to run away, in a bizarre twist, she smiled. It wasn't even an evil villain smile either, it was more like a stereotypical ditsy schoolgirl kind of smile, sweet and innocent. Then she spoke, "Starlight! How wonderful to see you! Can I just say that I'm like, so totally super sorry about before. Can I make it up to you? Pretty please with a cherry on top?" Her voice was... different, not a trace of malice or contempt, again she just sounded like an air-headed college girl.

Even Starlight Glimmer was surprised at this complete 180 in her personality "Well Chrysalis... um..." before Starlight Glimmer could go any further Chrysalis giggled.

"Please Glimmy! You don't have to like, call me by my full name! We're gal pals! Call me Chryssie you big ol' silly!"

Twilight was in full cringe mode, Chrysalis as a villain was bad, but Chrysalis as Chryssie was... gag inducing!

Chrysalis looked around the room and said "Hey girls, do either of you have like, a mirror or something? Twilight, still attempting to recover from and comprehend just what had happened, conjured up a mirror for Chrysalis to look in. When she looked in the mirror, she was horrified at her reflection "Ew! Gross! Look at me! Why have I got all these holes in my hair and my legs?! I'm way too tall, have weird cat eyes, a crooked horn and fangs! Yuck! I need to look a little more sexy if I wanna hang out with you Glimmy, it wouldn't be fair on you!"

A shot of green fire enveloped her body and when the flames died out, Chrysalis was still there, but different. She had opted to keep her natural colors, but rather than a tall changeling queen, she was now an ordinary looking unicorn mare, just with darker colors and no cutie mark.

"Ta-da!"
