"This is a rare occurrence..." Princess Twilight said as she addressed the class for today's Potion Class though it seems that the lesson for the day is being put off as Twilight does have a letter addressed to Celestia who was looking a bit nervous. "Normally it's students at the school that wish to send letters to others, but every now and again, we get a student receiving letters." Princess Twilight added.

"Guess somepony is lucky~" Luster Dawn teased Celestia.

"Is it really so rare, Princess?" Celestia asked.

"Trust me, Celestia, it is." Princess Twilight said and gave Celestia the letter. "If your willing to read this in class, I think we can save today's lesson for another time." Princess Twilight added.

"O-okay..." Celestia said and began reading.

To my sister Celestia,

You won't believe the first day I had a flight camp. As soon as I got there, there were these three Pegasi who were trying to bully me. But there was this yellow pegasus filly there about our age who wouldn't have it. So to get them to stop, she challenged those bullies to a race. In the middle of that race, she went so fast she caused a Sonic Rainboom. A SONIC RAINBOOOM! Trust me, if I wasn't there to see it for myself, I would've called whoever told me crazy. Thanks to that Sonic Rainboom, the filly; named Spitfire; won the race in a landslide. Since she was really nice to stand up to those bullies for a complete stranger, I introduced myself to her and she and I plan to bound while we're at flight camp.

I know your probably a few days in at classes by the time you get this. I really would like to know what's going on at your end when you can write back. But until then, I'll update you as much as I can about things here at Flight Camp. Oh, best part before I go: My flight camp roommate turned out to be none other then Spitfire. And frankly, I couldn't be happier about that. Spitfire also enjoyed that news too.

That's all for now, until my next letter, this is your little sister Luna signing out.

Stay cool at school; Luna

"Your sister is a Pegasus? How'd that happen?" Luster Dawn asked.

"Mom and dad aren't sure; we haven't really done the research." Celestia said.

"Well I can think of no better time to talk a little bit about Genealogy." Princess Twilight said.

"Err...is that the study of gems?" The same mare from yesterday asked.

"No Lucky Star, Genealogy is the study of one's family history. Your thinking of Gemology." Luster Dawn said.

"It's not my fault both of them start with the letter G!" Lucky Star argued.

"Then maybe you should study the difference!" Luster Dawn said.

"Back off of her, Luster Dawn!" Celestia said.

"Make me!" Luster Dawn said.

"Luster Dawn, please change seats with Lucky Star. Now." Princess Celestia said.

"...Tch. Fine." Luster Dawn said before she and Lucky Star switched places.

"Thanks for sticking up for me." Lucky Star said to Celestia said.

"I didn't want you both to get in trouble for arguing with each other..." Celestia admitted.

"Do I really have to be escorted by you?" A black creature said to a pink alicorn guiding it to through the castle.

"So long as your being escorted by an Alicorn, the guards won't attack you. Especially if that Alicorn is me." The Alicorn said. She lit her magic to enter the main throne room. There Shining Armor noticed them.

"Princess Cozy Glow, you've returned?" Shining Armor said.

"It's good to see you too, Captain Shining Armor." The Pink Alicorn said. "By the way, we're still on for that date later now that I'm back. You did promise." She whispered to Shining Armor. This caused the stallion to blush.

"P-Princess Twilight Sparkle will be arriving shortly." Shining Armor said. Suddenly Princess Twilight teleported into the room.

"Cozy Glow, it is very nice to see you. How goes everything on the war front?" Princess Twilight said.

"Everything is going smoothly; nothing to fear from forign invaders." Princess Cozy Glow said.

"Wait a second...your THAT Princess Cozy Glow?!" The black creature exclaimed. "The one they call the Warrior Princess?!" She added.

"If you've heard of me, that means I'm doing my job." Cozy Glow said.

"Changlings tell tales of your strength even in my hive..." The black creature said.

"Enough chit chat. Who are you and why did Cozy Glow bring you here? Answer honestly, and you will be allowed to leave in one piece." Princess Twilight announced.

Great. I had plans to take over Equestria but I can't face The Warrior Princess; not while there's a love shortage. Time for plan B. The changeling thought to herself. "My name is Chrysalis. I am the queen of the changeling hive located within the Badlands. Changelings require love to survive but recently there has been a love shortage. As such, we are very desperate for some kind substance." The Changeling Queen said.

"I see." Princess Twilight said.

"If it's okay with you, then as a representative of the Changelings, I would like to extend an olive branch: If you allow our kind to live alongside your ponies, then we will integrate without question." Chrysalis said.

"Denied." Princess Twilight said. "While you did indeed tell the truth about your hive and the love shortage, my truth detection spell shows that you are lying about integrating without question." She explained.

Crap...gotta fix this somehow... Chrysalis thought to herself. "Please reconsider. Like I've said, we are desperate. I'll sign a treaty, I'll do anything...I just don't want to see my people die..." She pleaded.

"...I see..." Twilight said. "Well as promised, you get to leave here in one piece." She added.

"But...what about my people? My own subjects?" Chrysalis asked.

"Three months. You will receive an answer to your pleas in three months." Princess Twilight said.

"Three Months?! I'm not sure if my hive will survive that long..." Chrysalis said.

"Of course there's also option B, to show that you are serious about signing a treaty." Princess Twilight said.

"What is...option B?" Chrysalis said.

"Appoint a new leader for your hive and step down from the throne; only then will I accept your proposal on the spot." Princess Twilight said.

"Changeling hives don't work like that..." Chrysalis admitted. "Only a Princess Changeling can acend to the throne, and right now, I have yet to...yet to lay..." Chrysalis gulped. "Princess Twilight my hive isn't just my subjects...my hive is made up of my children...my own children that I gave birth too." She added.

"That...is something you don't hear everyday..." Cozy Glow said.

"I am not just their queen, I am their mother. As such it would pain me to see any of them die. And with the love shortage being a thing right now...I don't know if I can lay a Changeling Egg that will contain a Princess Changeling inside." Chrysalis admitted.

"I see..." Princess Twilight said. "...Then do you swear that so long as you are on the throne, that there will not be an attack coming from your hive?" She asked.

"Anything...I will swear up and down to whatever you wish me to swear to...just please, let my children be spared..." Chrysalis said.

"Very well. I will ask the high council about their thoughts on this matter. Once we have come to a decision, we will send a messenger to you to let you know of the result of your pleas. Expect an answer within a week." Princess Twilight said.

"If you let my children mingle with your ponies, I will be forever in your debt." Chrysalis said as she left.

"Shining Armor, bring me the high council members. There is much I wish to discuss with them." Twilight said.

"Of course Twilight." Shining Armor said and left.

"So, what are you thinking?" Cozy Glow asked.

"While she may have lied a bit there, she is telling the truth: She will be forever in our debt if we agree to let ponies and changelings mingle. It's something to keep in mind." Princess Twilight said.

"Do you think she'll try something if she doesn't get what she wants?" Cozy Glow asked.

"If she does, then you know the rules: Take no prisoners." Princess Twilight said.

"Of course." Cozy Glow said.

Author's Note

So, as you can tell, Cozy Glow has taken over Cadence's role but not the same way as you may think. So what role will Cadence play? You'll see later on.
