"You know, I really hope somepony out there knows where my big brother went off to. It'd help a whole bunch." Sunset said. "For now, I am content where I am." She added. Suddenly the library doorbell was rung.

"I got it." Twilight said. In the doorway was a hodded figure.

"Is this the Golden Oak Library; residence for one Sunset Shimmer?" The figure asked.

"It is. She's currently having tea right now though." Twilight said.

"That's fine. I wouldn't mind some tea myself after how far I've traveled." The figure said.

"Um...is there something important you need Sunset for?" Twilight asked.

"You could say that; word on the street is that she's looking for where her brother, Sunburst, ran off to." The figure said. "It just so happens, I know exactly where he's ran off to." They said.

Upon hearing this, Sunset dropped the tea cup she was holding and then suddenly rushed to the door.

"YOU KNOW WHERE SUNBURST IS?!" Sunset exclaimed. "Well don't just stand there, come on in!" She added.

"I'll go grab the girls..." Twilight said.

"This tea is quite lovely. Thank you for allowing me to have some." The robed figure said.

"So, yer certain you know where Sunset's brother ran off to? Ah don't know if we should be trusting the word of one whose keepin' their identity a secret." Applejack said.

"That's not important. I'll take whatever information I can get at this point." Sunset said.

"You have nothing to fear from me. I am not one who lies. In fact, I was probably the only person to witness where Sunset's brother ran off to to begin with." The figure said.

"I say we trust her for now. If she was a bad pony, she'd have attacked us by now." Rainbow Dash said. The figure chuckled.

"It's good. So, as for Sunburst's location..." The figure said.

"Right. Go ahead." Sunset said.

"As soon as I saw him running through the halls in Celestia's castle, I made it my priority to follow him. Soon he entered a room that had a mirror that I've only ever seen Celestia bring few ponies to. That's when the strangest thing occurred: Sunburst walked through the mirror as if it was some kind of portal and left behind a destruction charge." The figure said.

"Destruction charge? Your certain?" Sunset asked.

"What's a destruction charge?" Twilight asked.

"It's something Celestia banned from use recently." Sunset said. "I guess now I know why if she found this mirror portal in pieces." She added.

"Mind fillin' in those of us who don't know what those are?" Applejack asked.

"A destruction charge is meant to destroy magical objects; reducing them to a state to where they cannot be used." Sunset said.

"Which is why after a boom, the mirror was left in shards that scattered to the floor." The figure said.

"Ah still don't know if ah can fully trust one who keeps their idenity a mystery." Applejack said.

"If I do show you my identity, you must not tell Princess Celestia that one of my kind is here." The figure said.

"Why? What's wrong with your kind? Your a pony right?" Sunset asked.

"No." The figure then removed the hood of the robe they were wearing. What stared back at the main six was a creature that was very much NOT a pony.

"What...are you?" Sunset asked.

"My name is Amare; and I am a Changeling Princess." The creature said.

"Changeling? What's a changeling?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"I'm not exactly sure what one looked like; I only knew the name. Because technically speaking, Changelings are supposed to be banned from being in Equestria." Sunset said.

"You wanted to know about your brother. And I would sooner risk my neck then have you continue wondering around aimlessly." Amare said.

"Well, for now, I suppose you can stay for a while, but as soon as you can, you gotta get out of town before Celestia decided to drop by for a visit." Sunset said.

"Three days. That's how long I need to stay for." Amare said.

"Three days is not that long." Sunset said.

"Besides, it's not like I'll be running around looking like this all the time." Amare said. Suddenly green flames envoloped her and she was suddenly now a yellow unicorn pony with a green heart for a cutie mark.

"What the...Amare, is that you?" Applejack asked.

"It's changeling specific magic. All of us can shapeshift. Whether that be into an already existing pony or into an entirely new pony altogether. And this is my personal go-to Pony form." Amare said.

"Is that whole disguising yourself as an already pony a real thing?" Applejack asked.

"I personally don't do it, but there are changelings who do. It's because love is our food." Amare said. "We need it to survive and live." Amare said.

"Well stick around for a bit Amare; so long as your here, we'll treat you like your our friend." Sunset said.

"I would like that." Amare said.

Author's Note

For readers of "My Little Pony: Changeling of Friendship", you should know that Amare was the original concept idea for that story's main Protoganist Amiticia the Changeling of Friendship. Well here's the thing, that story as well as Amare would not have existed without Mittopia on Switch. The Miitopia Demo on switch is nearly identical to the one from the 3DS, but in addition to the normal content from the 3DS Miitopia Demo, the Switch Demo also includes you getting the horse just before the end of the demo. Believe it or not, but with JH Rob, there was going to be a horse companion originally, but I scrapped that idea. It wasn't until I played that Switch Demo that I had an excuse to dig through the bin where all my scrapped ideas were sent off to. As such, the original concept behind what would become Amiticia was in that scrapped ideas bin. Amare just so happens to have been that same scrapped concept idea that inspired Amiticia; the star of my story "My Little Pony: Changeling of Friendship" so readers of that story can see where the concept idea that inspired Amiticia came from.
