A New Life, and A Fateful Meeting

A Rise to Rule, and a Heart to Conquer

Chapter 1

A New Life, and a Fateful Meeting

In the middle of the night, within the changeling kingdom of Noraak Thu’m, a mansion has been cast ablaze with a family trapped inside, trying to escape.
“MOTHER! FATHER!” the voice of a young changeling called out, her tears being dried as the heat built up around her.
“CHRYSALIS!” the voice of the caring mother called out, rushing for her daughter and wrapping her arms around her. “Chrysalis we must leave now! Where is your brother?!”
“P-Pupa was…P-Pupa was…” the young Chrysalis sniffled as she recalled her brother being crushed underneath some fallen debris. Her mother held back her tears and knew now was not the time to mourn for her son.
“We must leave!” she said picking up her daughter and carried her through the house.
“Polytes!” a masculine voice called out.
“Actias!” the mother whose name was Polytes called to her husband.
“Father!” Chrysalis called out.
“Polytes, you must leave with Chrysalis and Pupa! Where is Pupa?!” Actias asked.
“Father Pupa…Pupa was…!” the young Changling cried.
“Those…Those bastards!” the man screamed out, going to his wife and daughter. “You must go! The ones who caused the fire are in the front! I’ll hold them off but you two must leave!” he kissed his wife and daughter before backing away from them. “I love you…”
“I love you too…” his wife responded before turning away from him.
“F-Father? Father?! No please! Come with us! FATHER!” Chrysalis cried out, only to be taken out the back of the house with her mother.
Inside her father began to cry as he knew his fate, wishing he could have seen his son alive once more and to see his daughter grow up. Though, his fate was sealed as he saw seven hooded figures now standing in front of him.
“Actias…your reign must end here…” one of the hooded figures said as they drew their weapons.
“Then come! Take the throne from me!” he yelled as he drew his own weapon, running towards the seven hooded figures.
Behind the burning mansion however a young Chrysalis and her mother were being loaded into a carriage. Polytes stopped and turned as she looked into the burning building, swearing she could hear the clanging of swords.
“My Lady?” one of the servants in the carriage said looking to her mistress. Polytes held back tears and turned to her daughter.
“Chrysalis! You are the last heir to the throne of Noraak Thu’m! You must live!” her mother told her as she placed her hands on her face, resting her horn against her daughters.
“M-Mother aren’t you coming with us? Mo-mother please!” she begged as tears flooded her eyes.
“Ariadne you must protect my daughter! Please keep her safe!” Polytes commanded her servant who only nodded, understanding this would be the last time they see each other.
“I love you Chrysalis…GO!” she commanded as she stepped back, Ariadne giving a hyah to send the carriage off away from the burning mansion.
“MOTHEEEEEEEER!” Chrysalis cried out as she and Ariadne sped off away from the mansion, seeing her mother disappear into the burning building.

In the land of Equestria the sun had raised on a new day in the city of Canterlot. In one particular castle, a young Princess named Cadence had just awoken to the bright new day.
“Good morning Canterlot” the girl said stretching herself. Soon the girl was up and about, dressing herself and running downstairs to meet her father and mother, Valentine and Saint Patrick.
“Good morning mother! Good morning Father!” she said happily as she hugged Valentine while she cooked, and Saint Patrick as he sat at the table.
“Cadence! Good morning my child! Did you sleep well?” her mother asked as she prepared breakfast for her.
“Yes mother!” she said happily.
“Have pleasant dreams?” her father asked.
“Only the best daddy” she said happily as she hugged Saint Patrick.
“Good, breakfast will be ready soon, so go on ahead and get a plate” he said with a smile and Cadence did as she was told. Saint Patrick was reading through his newspaper and sighed as he saw the front cover.
“Can you believe this? Changelings sneaking into Equestria!” he read aloud.
“Apparently things have been bad in Noraak Thu’m, so many of them fled to Equestria” the stated as she served breakfast to her husband and daughter.
“Yeah well they can go back! A lot have been causing trouble with their shape-shifting abilities and I’d rather have them gone!”
“But don’t they need somewhere to live daddy?” Cadence asked looking to her father.
“It’s just something you wouldn’t understand at the moment sweety, when you’re older you’ll get it” he said with a smile to his daughter.
“Ok daddy…” Cadence said with a smile, though she still wanted to know what he meant by that. She quickly finished her breakfast and stood up with a smile.
“Thank you mother! I’m going out for while to find my friends! I’ll be back soon!” she called out with a smile before putting her plate up and ran for the door.
“Be back before five o’clock sweety!” Valentine called out as Cadence left.
“You know the maids can cook for us too, we are royalty after all” Saint Patrick said with a smile.
“I know. I just find it relaxing” Valentine answered.

“Ariadne…will we see mommy and daddy again?” Chrysalis asked her now would be parent as they arrived in Canterlot.
“I don’t know child” Ariadne answered, but looked to Chrysalis with a smile. “Hopefully one day we will be able to see them again” she told the young changeling, hoping to appease her at the moment.
Both were now disguised as unicorns as they entered the city, not wanting to arouse too much suspicion as they head for their new home. In the city they went to a small humble house, where another pony was waiting outside.
“Your highness!” the pony said walking up to them. “We’ve prepared the house for you and Ariadne!” he said with a smile to the young Chrysalis.
“Thank you…have you heard from Mother or Father?” she asked.
“No your highness I’m afraid not” he answered, causing Chrysalis to look slightly depressed.
“Ariadne…I’m going to take a walk to get used to the area around us, I’ll be back soon” the young changeling had a look of depression as she began to walk away. Ariadne only nodded knowing that her Princess needed to have some alone time.

“Oh…so Flora Bouquet can’t play today?” Cadence asked as she stood at the door of a friend’s house.
“No I’m sorry Cadence, she’s really busy helping me clean, maybe another time” the mother of her friend said before closing the door.
“Sigh…none of my friends can play today…” the young Princess Pouted as she walked along, sighing as she knew she would have no friends to play with today. “Oh well…guess spending time at home isn’t so bad…” she said as she looked up, stopping as she saw a unicorn Filly she hadn’t seen before.
“Oh! Maybe they’ll wanna be my friend!” Cadence said with a smile as she skipped over to the girl.
Chrysalis, disguised as a green haired green eyed unicorn just sighed as she thought of the past events, wishing she could have her parents back.
“Will I see them again?” she asked herself, not seeing Cadence coming up behind her.
“HIYA!” Cadence called out causing Chrysalis to scream and swing around, the two of them knocking their heads together and their horns even their hitting one another’s.
“O-OW! Wh-What the hay?!” Chrysalis called out as she looked to Cadence.
“Ooooow…I’m sorry…I didn’t mean to scare you…” Cadence said rubbing her head and looked to Chrysalis, gasping as she saw the unicorn was no longer a pony, but a changeling.
“Y-you’re a…changeling!” Cadence gasped out, causing Chrysalis to blush and looked down to herself, realizing her spell had just been knocked off because of the head-butt. “I’ve…never seen one before!” Cadence said with a smile, causing Chrysalis to look up to her confused.
“Hi! I’m Cadence!” and when Chrysalis was able to see Cadence, she blushed as she saw the pretty girl in front of her extending her hand to shake and help her up.
“Um…Hi, my name’s…Chrysalis” she said reaching up to shake her hand, not knowing that fate would have these two stay with each other forever.

A N: Ok so this is a new story I’ve wanted to do for a while. I was inspired to do it cause honestly there isn’t too many Chrysalis romance stories I’ve seen, so I figured why not ship her with Cadence? It’s weird and different so I figured I’d give it a try! Please let me know how you like it and all that jazz!

A Blooming Love

Chapter 2

A Blossoming Love

In the streets of Equestria two young girls ran and laughed together as they played with one another. One a with wings and a horn, and the other with just a horn, hiding her changeling wings.
“Come on Chryssy! This way!” Cadence called out as she ran ahead of her, Chrysalis giggling and following her with a smile.
“Wait up Cadence!” the young Chrysalis called as she ran behind her. Soon the two of them came up to a lone tree not far from the city. It was getting a little late now and fireflies had began to fly around the tree, illuminating it as Cadence lead Chrysallis towards the tree, sitting down next to it with her.
“This is said to be a special tree Auntie Celestia planted when she was a filly herself” Cadence said with a smile to her new found friend.
“Auntie…Celestia?” Chrysallis asked not knowing who she was.
“Oh! She’s the Princess who rules Equestria!” Cadence said with a smile.
“C-Cadence! You’re royalty?!” the changeling asked, not realizing she had played with royalty the entire day.
“Yeah! Well…sort of, we’re distant family, but she still treats me like a niece!” she said with a bright smile. “But don’t worry, you’re my friend so you don’t have to call me Princess or anything” the young princess assured her.
“A-All right then” she said with a smile. “So…do you come here a lot Cadence?” the changeling asked and Cadence nodded.
“Yup! It’s the place I like coming too when I want to be alone” she said looking to the tree. “This place just makes me feel so...at peace.”
“So if this is your special secret place, why’d you bring me?” Chrysalis asked, tilting her head once more.
“Because I like you!” Chrysalis blushed when Cadence said this. “There’s just something about you that’s so…different than all my other friends, a good kind of different!” the young girl said happily as she grabbed Chrysalis’s hands.
“Chrysalis! Let’s promise that no matter what we will always be friends!” Chrysalis looked down to her hands being held, then back up to Cadence, nodding with a smile.
“O-Ok! I promise that I will always be friends with Cadence!” she said happily.
“And I promise to always be friends with Chrysalis!” Cadence replied, then she looked up, noticing it was a bit too late. “Wah! Chrysalis I have to go! My mom is going to kill me for being so late home!” she said getting up and began to run off. Though she stopped and turned around, waving to the changeling. “Bye Chrysalis!” she said with a smile.
“B-Bye Cadence!” she replied before watching her leave. Butterflies began to flutter in her stomach, thinking of the wonderful day she had with Cadence, wishing it never had to end. “Well, better not keep Ariadne waiting” she said to herself as she got up and began to walk home.

“Mommy! Daddy! I’m home!” Cadence called out as she ran back into her house with a smile.
“Cadence! You’re late! You had me worried sick!” Valentine scolded Cadence who looked down.
“I-I’m sorry…I was having fun with a new friend…” the young princess sniffled.
“Oh? Who’s you’re new friend?” her father Saint Patrick inquired as he came to the door.
“Her name is Chrissy! She’s new to Canterlot and is really super cool!” Cadence said with a smile.
“Well next time please remember to come home on time sweetie!” Valentine reminded her. “Now go wash up and get ready for bed!” and with that Cadence was off to prepare for bed.

“Ariadne?” Chrysalis called as she walked into the house she and her servant lived in.
“My lady! You’ve been out so late I thought something happened to you!” Ariadne exasperated.
“I’m fine really! I just…met a new friend today. Her name is Cadence, and is a really nice pony!” she said with a smile.
“A pony? My lady you must be careful around ponies! They aren’t exactly…accepting of us nowadays” she warned her.
“No Cadence doesn’t mind I’m a changeling! She’s really fun!” she said with a smile trying to prove her wrong.
“And how long will she continue to be nice to you?” a male voice rang out from within the halls, and out walked a rather tall changeling, who bowed to Chrysalis.
“Oh! My Lady, this Atticus Atlas! He is going to be your teacher for the time your away from home” Ariadne said with a smile.
“Forgive me Lady Chrysalis, but I suggest that you end this little friendship when you can” Atticus told the young Chrysalis.
“Wh-Why?” she asked looking up to him.
“Eventually she will betray you when she finds out you are a changeling, and I’d rather not have you broken as such for when you are ready to reacquire the throne for yourself” he answered flatly.
“But she already knows I’m a changeling! She even really likes me!” Chrysalis retorted to which he shook his head.
“It is something you will appreciate later in life, right now you appear to be too young to understand” he said to her shaking his head. “Anyways tonight we will start your studies, but it will be a short session. After all a queen must be prepared to rule in order for her to be the rightful heir to the throne” he said leading her to the small study. Chrysalis just grumbled as she walked with him, thinking of nothing but wishing to see Cadence once more.

The next day had arrived and Cadence was already waiting for Chrysalis, pacing back and forth as she waited for her new friend to arrive. “We didn’t even say if we would meet up again today! I really hope she comes back here today…” Cadence looked around hoping to find the changeling.
“Cadence!” a familiar voice called out, causing Cadence to turn and see he friend.
“Chrissy! You’re here!” the multi-haired girl said hugging her friend.
“Of course I’m here! I wouldn’t wanna miss spending a day with you!” Chrysalis said with a smile as she walked with Cadence. “So what are we going to do today?” the young changeling asked.
“Well I wanted to bring you to my house!” Cadence said with a smile. “Oh! But please look like a regular pony! For some reason my dad might not like that you’re a changeling” Cadence warned her friend.
“Well that’s easy to take care of” Chrysalis said with a smile, changing her shape as talked with her friend. Cadence then smiled and turned to lead her friend to her home.

“Mother! Father! I’m home!” Cadence called out as she entered the house with Chrysalis.
“Cadence! You’re home early!” her mother’s voice rang out a she walked out of the kitchen. “Oh? And who is your new friend?” Valentine asked.
“Mother this is Chrissy!” Cadence smiled introducing her friend.
“Pleased to meet you, ma’am” Chrysalis said with a smile to her mother.
“Ah so you’re the Chrissy we’ve been hearing about” Saint Patrick said as he walked into the room as well.
“Y-Yessir. Pleased to meet you as well” Chrysalis felt slightly intimidated by the man due to his size and already knowing that he wasn’t fond of changelings.
“Well you have such good manners Chrissy! Oh! I’m Valentine and this is Saint Patrick” the mother introduced the both of them.
“Thank you ma’am” Chrysalis said with a nervous smile.
“Come on Chrissy! Let’s go to my room!” Cadence grabbed her hand and took off towards the stair case. Soon the two were upstairs and once inside the room, Chrysalis smiled and let her disguise fade.
“It’s a little more relaxing when you can be in your normal form” Chrysalis said with a smile.
“Mom and dad usually don’t come up here so we can play all we want!” the young princess said with a smile. Chrysalis nodded and looked at the room finally, amazed by it’s size and all the things there were such as a trampoline, what looked to be a swing, and a jungle gym.
“You really are royalty” Chrysalis said looking around the room. Her and her bother back home never had anything this fancy, even if they were the children of the rulers.
“Mom and dad just like to make sure I’m able to entertain friends whenever they come over, so they got all this for me!” Cadence said with a smile. “Now come on! Let’s play!” Cadence one more grabbed Chrysalis’s hand, running off towards the jungle gym with her.

A few hours had passed as Saint Patrick was sitting in a chair reading, and his wife was preparing dinner.
“Patrick could you be a dear and fetch the girls for dinner?” Valentine asked her husband. He only gave an ‘Mhm’ as an answer and walked right up the stairs. He could still hear the giggling of the two girls as they played.
“Girls it’s dinner time” he said opening the door. Obviously the two hadn’t heard him since they were still bouncing on the trampoline, and Chrysalis was still in her changeling form.
“WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS?!” Saint Patrick boomed out, causing Chrysalis and Cadence to look at him in fear. “YOU GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE!” the man said walking over and grabbed Chrysalis by the horn yanking her out of the room.
“O-OW! H-HEY L-LET GO!” Chrysalis began to tear up from the pain of having her horn yanked.
“DADDY STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” Cadence screamed out as she ran after her father. Valentine heard the screaming and ran to find her husband coming down the stairs, yanking the changeling child along to the front door. Once he was at the front door, he pulled it open and tossed Chrysalis down onto the street.
“YOU STAY OUT OF MY HOUSE YOU LITTLE FREAK!” he yelled before slamming the door behind himself. Then he turned to his daughter. “DON’T YOU EVER PLAY WITH A CHANGELING EVER AGAIN!” Cadence shrunk back and fear, not daring back talk her father.
“Y-Yes daddy…” she sniffled as she looked out the window. What she saw broke her heart. Chrysalis lay there crying, before she got up and ran away.

After Luna’s night had arrived Cadence had prepared herself for bed, though was anywhere near tired. So when she saw all the lights were out in her house, she opened her window and snuck out of her room, spreading her wings and taking off into the night sky. “Please be there…” Cadence thought as she flew towards her secret spot, thinking and hoping Chrysalis might be there. And when she looked down, there was her friend, huddled by the tree crying.
“Chrissy!” Cadence called out as she flew down to the tree, causing Chrysalis to look up to her friend. “Chrissy I’m so sorry!” Cadence said hugging her friend. Chrysalis just hugged her back and sniffled a little.
“I-It’s ok…i-it just hurt a little” she assured her.
“I-I didn’t think daddy would act like that! I-I’m so sorry that happened!” Cadence began to cry as she held her friend.
“H-Hey now it’s ok please don’t cry” Chrysalis said pushing her friend back a bit, seeing her crying.
“B-But…daddy hurt you…and I don’t know why” the young princess sniffled as she looked to her friend, tears streaming down her face.
“I…I don’t know either…but you still like me…right?” Chrysalis asked as she looked to her friend.
“O-of course! You’re my friend! I’d never hate you!” Cadence said with a smile.
“Good! But I don’t think I can see you much anymore…” Chrysalis said sadly.
“No we can! Let’s just meet here!” Cadence grabbed Chrysalis’s hand. “Every night I’ll sneak out to come here! Just come and meet me and we can still be together and be friends!” Cadence wiped some of her tears as she sniffled. Chrysalis could never say no to her new friend and nodded with a blush.
“All right, but we both have to promise to meet here every night and wait for the other!” Chrysalis said with a smile.
“I-I will! I promise to meet here and wait for Chrysalis every night!” Cadence said happily.
“And I promise to wait here every night to meet Cadence” the young changeling replied with a smile. Though, before we talk or play, I think we should both head home” Chrysalis said with a smile.
“O-ok…You promise to be here tomorrow?” Cadence asked.
“I promise!” Crhsyalis replied with a smile, before taking off into the sky with her own changeling wings.

Several years had passed now, and every night Cadence would meet with Chrysalis in their secret place. Cadence was now fourteen and Chrysalis was now sixteen. Their relationship had grown so much over the years and the two of them were even more then friends. Though, neither had said their true feelings to the other quite yet.

In the house where Chrysalis had called home, she and her instructor Atticus Atlas had been sparring with magic.
“Good! You have learned much your majesty! You will need this skill I you wish to retake the throne in Noraak Thu’m!” Attacus told her as he dodged and parried her attacks, missing by a hairs width.
“Of course when I have an instructor such as yourself, I don’t think any changeling in power can take me!” Chrysalis said with a smirk as she dodged one of his attacks.
“Though of course you can’t be too high and mighty!” he said sweeping her legs out from under her. Chrysalis used this momentum and pushed herself back up with her wings, planting her shoulder into his gut. Atticus fell backwards and looked up to find a hand glowing with magic in his face.
“I’m not thinking high and mighty when I know I have the skill” she said with a smirk before letting the magic die out. She then smiled and offered her hand to him to help him up. He took it graciously as she helped him up.
“Indeed you do have it, don’t you think Actias?” Chrysalis’s eyes grew wide as she heard the name, hearing footsteps walk into the room. She turned to look at them, and a hooded man walked in, pulling his hood off, revealing he was indeed her father.
“FATHER!” she cried out, running to him and hugging him. “I thought you had died!” Actias chuckled as he hugged his daughter.
“I am sorry my daughter, I could not come after you that night since those men would have chased you down and killed you. I did not want to let any of them harm you” he said letting her go and began to walk towards Atticus.
“But…what of mother?” Chrysalis asked, seeing her father sigh.
“She…did not make it…” he responded.
“I…see…” Chrysalis took this well since she had honestly expected to hear both her father and mother were dead.
“Then…why were you gone all this time? Why did you not come for me?” Chrysalis asked him.
“Because I had to be sure a revolution would happen” he responded. “For the past several years I have been rallying the people who wish to have our family restored. I also had to be sure Atticus was able to train you without interruption” he said looking to the instructor.
“Which thanks to you, she learned everything that was needed” the instructor replied with a smile.
“So…you’ve been protecting me this entire time?” Chrysalis asked her father.
“Indeed I have my child” he said with a smile. “But now sadly I cannot protect you anymore here” he said taking a more serious tone. “Chrysalis, you must leave now to Noraak Thu’m. The people are ready to revolt against the current regime, and you must be the new ruler!” Actias said to his daughter, causing her to go wide eyed with shock.
“I-I cannot rule! I have been gone for years! Our people think I am dead!” Chrysalis protested.
“Chrysalis! What is the purpose of a ruler?!” Atticus questioned her.
“To serve her people!” she answered without hesitation.
“What do we do if the way things are do not prove fruitful for the people?!” he questioned again.
“Then we bring change to them!” she answered again.
“And what should we do if we are the only ones who can help the people of Noraak Thu’m?” Actias asked his daughter.
“Then we should save them…” she answered him. Over the years Chrysalis had learned how to rule even if she was not in her country. Yes she was prepared now, but she still wasn’t expecting to leave to take over so soon! Especially at so young!
“Then we must go to them Chrysalis! You are to be the light for our people!” he told her. Chrysalis then nodded, understanding it was her duty and hers alone to save her people, and become the new Queen.
“I understand…can we leave tomorrow though?” Chrysalis asked her father.
“Of course, say your goodbyes today if you have met anyone here in the land of Equestria” he said knowing his daughter more than likely refused to listen to that part of Atticus’s instruction.
“Thank you father” she said before bowing, and taking her leave.
“You didn’t expect her to listen to you when you said she couldn’t talk with the ponies did you?” Actias said to Atticus.
“Of course not…I wanted her to rebel against that rule, and every night she did” he said with a smile.

Later that night the fourteen year old Cadence was sitting in front of the tree, waiting for Chrysalis to come once more.
“I’m going to do it tonight! I’m going to tell her how I feel!” she told herself as she prepared to share her feelings with Chrysalis. “I don’t care if father hates me! I will love her!” she told herself, and soon heard the sound of someone walking towards her. She turned around happily to see Chrysalis. “Chrissy!” she called out with a smiled and hugged her friend.
“Cadence…” she responded with a smile a she hugged her closely.
“Chrissy I have something to tell you!”
“Cadence I need you tell you something”
They both said this at the same time, blushing at each other.
“You go first Cadence” the changeling said with a smile.
“Ok um…Chrysalis? I um…wanted to tell you this for a while…but I could never get the courage too…” she said with a blush, causing Chrysalis to blush as well. “You see…you already know my special talent is love correct?” Chrysalis nodded. “W-Well…It effects my magic and even controls it sometimes…like whenever I think of the person I love” she said with a smile as she looked up to the changeling.
“Wh-What do you mean?” Chrysalis asked.
“Well…let me show you” she said with a smile. “Take a look at this spell…” she said leaning down towards a flower bud. She then cast a spell and is opened up, showing it’s life. “This is with my normal magic…but…whenever I think of someone I love…” she then went to another bud, casting her magic, the flowered grew twice it’s normal size with many vibrant colors.
“It effects my magic so much more so…and it’s my love taking over really” she said with a smile looking up to Chrysalis who was blushing furiously. “A-And Chrysalis…the one who causes this love…is you” she said with a smile. “You cause my magic to become so much stronger and your love fuels it” she said moving towards Chrysalis. “Chrysalis…I love you”
The Changeling blushed brightly as she looked to her friend. Everything inside of her told her to tell her she loved her too, but she knew she had to leave her. She couldn’t love her properly while fighting a revolution!
“Cadence…I…love you too…but…there’s something I have to tell you…” Chrysalis told her. “I…have to leave.”
“Wh-What?” Cadence asked.
“Cadence…I am the next in line for the throne in Noraak Thu’m…I’ve told you this before” this killed her, tearing Cadence’s heart apart like this. “I’ve been called to go and lead a revolution…and…I have to leave…”
“B-But you can’t!” Cadence begged. “You can’t leave! I-I love you!”
“I-I know I love you too but I must…”
“N-No you don’t! Y-You could let someone else take over!”
“I can’t do that Cadence. My people need me, and I have to fight for them.”
“B-But you might die!” Cadence was bawling as she clung to Chrysalis. “Please…don’t go…please…” Chrysalis was on the verge of tears. She didn’t want to do this to her, but she needed to leave.
“Then let’s make a promise!” she said grabbing Cadence’s hand. Chrysalis pulled off her necklace, putting it around Cadence’s neck. “My mother gave this to me when I was younger, and I’m giving it to you as a promise!” Cadence touched the necklace and looked up to Chrysalis.
“I promise not to die! And to return to you Cadence for however long it takes me to end this revolution! On my love for you!” she swore to her. Cadence sniffled as she looked up and smiled.
“A-And I promise to wait for you…to be here when you return as the Queen of Noraak Thu’m” she said with a smile. “Remember…you promised” she said to her with a smile.
“I won’t forget…” Chrysalis said looking down to Cadence. The two were staring into each other’s eyes as she enjoyed the closeness. SO much so Chrysalis wanted to close the gap and kiss Cadence, but…that would tie her even more to her. “Goodbye…Cadence…” she whispered as she slowly let go, feeling her heart tear as she stood up and face away from Cadence.
“Good bye…Chrysalis…” the young Princess responded. Both had tears streaming down their faces as Chrysalis left. Neither knew how long they wouldn’t see the other, but both held onto the promise they made, wanting to see the other once more.

A Queens Return

Chapter 3

A Queens Triumphant Return

“Finally, after four long years, this conflict will end” Chrysalis said as she looked up to the castle that was once in her families. Now the lord of the manor was her uncle, which came to her as no surprise. “And I will finally be able to see Cadence” Chrysalis than marched in with her army behind her, bursting the door in with her magic. Her uncle was standing there before herself in shock, though he tried to regain his composure as he was confronted by his niece.

“So the daughter of the old dead king is here to take my place?” he said nervously as he reached for his sword.

“Of course, and the only way I can take your place is to kill you” she said not even pulling out her own, but activating her magic.

“Hah! So full of yourself to think magic will save you?! I’ll kill you in one blow!” he yelled as he charged her, the men getting ready to jump in front of her. Chrysalis put up an arm to stop them and simply walked forward, seeing his sword glowing with magic and her arms glowing with their own.

“DIE!” he yelled swinging his magically infused sword, but the queens magically charged swung forward, slicing through the blade and through her uncle. He coughed up blood, and looked down to the gash in his side. “H-How?” he said looking to his wound as he fell to his knees.

“It is only a spell the Monarch in charge would know, and my father taught me this spell so I could kill you” she said raising her magically charged arm.

“WH-What?! Th-Then that means-!” before he could finish, Chrysalis had swung her arm down, lopping his head from his body with her arm.

“That…was for my mother and my brother…” Chrysalis then walked over and picked up the head, carrying it outside, her soldiers parting the way for her. When she stood outside, there before her were her people now. It didn’t matter if they served the former ictator, or if they were for her. Now they were all HER people.

“A NEW RULE HAS BEGUN!” she shouted tossing the head down onto the ground. “TYRANNY NO LONGER RULES THIS NATION! THE PEOPLE THROUGH ME SHALL RULE THIS NATION! MY PEOPLE THAT I CARE DEEPLY FOR!” she shouted again, her soldiers and those who supported her cheering, while those who supported her uncle were not so enthusiastic. She didn’t care though, and walked inside to be met by Atticus.

“We need to work on your speeches” he said walking with her into their new home.

“I know. It was something to get them by for now, but we have something important to do” Chrysalis said walking into what looked to be an office. “We need to write a letter to Equestria” Chrysalis said causing Atticus to raise an eyebrow.

“Indeed your majesty?” he asked pulling out a quill pen and ink pot. Then he pulled out a parchment and looked to his queen for what to write.

“You can write it in words better than I can. But the basic need for the letter is to tell them in one year’s time we wish to become alleys with them” she said looking at her teacher and alley, who began to write furiously.

“Of course to the princess of the Sun I’m assuming?” he asked getting a nod from Chrysalis. “And to your friend?” he asked causing her to blush.

“I-I will write a letter to her” she said getting her own ink quill and her own parchment for herself.

“Of course my queen” he said smiling to her, and continued with his letter.

Inside of Equestria, Princess Celestia sat in her chambers sipping some coffee while she read one of her latest reports from her faithful student. Of course her concentration was broken as a guard walked in holding two letters for Princess Celestia.

“Princess Celestia, two letters from the queen of Noraak Thu’m have arrived for you” he said walking into her chambers. Celestia raised an eyebrow remembering that a king had recently ruled over the nation, one who was tyrannical.

“Is that so?” she said standing up and walked over to open the first letter. She read through it and began to smile as she read it, once finishing up she rolled it up and handed it back to the guard.

“May I ask what the letter said?” he questioned as he grabbed it back.

“Due to recent events the king has been replaced because of how he poorly treated his people. And now the queen wishes to help repair her country and in one year’s time become our alley” she said as she reached for the second letter.

“Noraak Thu’m wishes to be peaceful? This is news to me” the guard said handing her the letter. Celestia only smiled as she took the letter, looking at the outside. Once she read the note written on the outside, she smiled and handed it back to the guard. “My queen?” he asked raising an eyebrow.

“This is a letter not meant for my eyes, but for Princess Mi Amore Cadenza’s” she said with a smile, and he nodded, leaving at once for the residence of Celestia’s niece. Celestia then smiled and sat in her chair, sipping her coffee once more. “So, Chrissy was the future change of a nation then Cadence?” she said to herself, only smiling at the possibilities this alliance could bring. “Maybe even a wedding between a changeling and a pony.”

Princess Cadence sat in the new home her parents had recently acquired, a large mansion fit for royalty, which of course she honestly couldn’t care less for the size. She only wished for one thing and one thing only.

“Chrysalis…” she whispered as she sat in her room, drawing a picture she believed would be the way Chrysalis would look at this age. Her train of thought had been cut though as she heard a knock on the front door. Of course being the only main family member in the house at the moment, she went to answer the door, stopping her maids from doing so, just in case it was Chrysalis.

“Hello Princess Mi Amore Cadenza” the guard said with a smile as he pulled out the letter for her. She was slightly disappointed as she saw it was a guard and only a letter.

“Thank you Lightning Strike, may I ask who it was from?” Cadence said impressing the guard with the memory of his name.

“The new Changeling Queen” he said, seeing Chrysalis’ eyes go wide and a big smile spread across her face.

“THANK YOU!” she said jumping to hug him, then went back inside, closing the door behind herself. She immediately went to the nearest chair and table, opening the letter, and began to read.
Cadence,
My love are you well? I need to send this to you, for the news of what has happened. My uncle, the former king, has been defeated. I survived these four long years, and yearn to be with you. But I know my duty, and selfishly request you wait one more year for my return. There is work to be done in this nation, but I swear that in one year’s time I shall come and see you again my love! I have not broken my promise to you, and intend never to break my promise.With Great Love and Joy,

Chrysalis.

Cadence nearly leapt for joy as she read the letter, a few tears coming to her eyes knowing her love was successful and that she was going to see her again. ALIVE! “Chrysalis, I cannot wait to see you again my love” she said to herself, wiping her tears away, knowing her fears had been for nothing, truly happy that she could now finally see her love once more. Or at least in one year’s time she could see her, and one year was nothing to wait compared to four. So Cadence dashed upstairs, leaving the letter downstairs on the table, to continue her drawing of Chrysalis.

What Cadence didn’t know, was her father was returning home now. In fact by the time she was upstairs the door had opened and he walked inside with her mother.

“St. Patrick I’m going to go say hello to my daughter and freshen up” Valentine said kissing her husband and walked up the stairs.

“Mmm…” he said walking into the kitchen, seeing a note on parchment on the table. “What’s?” he asked himself, picking it up and began to read. He stood there in disbelief, reading, re-reading, and reading once more to be sure. Then fury, not anger, fury coursed through his body, and with letter in hand, marched upstairs, walking past his wife.

“Darling?” she asked only watching him go into Cadence’s room. St. Patrick ignored her and walked directly into his daughters room.

“F-Father! How was-?” Cadence was interrupted as she suddenly felt the back of his hand slap across her face, knocking her to the ground. She looked up, fear obvious in her eyes to her father.

“WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!” he said throwing the crumpled letter to her. “SO YOU’RE SOME SLUT IN LOVE WITH A CHANGELING?! IS THAT IT?!” he said smacking her again and again, Cadence wailing out as she was beaten by her father.

“PATRICK?!” Valentine called out running into the room. “STOP THAT! STOP THAT RIGHT-!” but her mother met a backhand to the face to, falling to the ground in disbelief.

“AND THIS?! A PICTURE OF YOU’RE CHANGLING WHORE?!” he said grabbing the drawing, grabbing it and crumpling it too, then he began to search her draws, until he found one of various drawings of a female changeling. “YOU STUPID CHANGELING LOVING SLUT!” he said smacking his daughter, who only curled into ball, sobbing as she refused to look at what was her father. He then took every single picture of Chrysalis she had drawn and tossed them into the fire along with her letter.

“F-Father…why?” she said looking up through the tears.

“IF I FIND ONE MORE PICTURE, OR ONE MORE LETTER OF YOUR SLUT I WILL DO MORE THAN BEAT SENSE INTO YOU! MUCH WORSE THAN THIS!” he growled out, causing his daughter to go wide-eyed, fear in her eyes as the tears kept pouring out. “DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!” he said to her, causing her to nod. “GOOD!” he then turned and marched out of the room, his wife already gone. To wear? Cadence didn’t know past this night.

“Chrysalis…” she sobbed as she lay there, trying to get over the pain of being beaten by her own father. And now feeling very worried for her safety.

One year later…

“Are you sure we shouldn’t have taken more guards with us?” Atticus asked his student.

“Atticus, we’re here to make peace talks with the Ponies, not declare war” Chrysalis said looking back to the two changelings guards. “And remember these two were with us through all of the fighting, and are the top men we have, right Lunarch and Monarch?” she said and both gave her a yes ma’am. “Don’t worry, we’ll be fine” she said with a smile. In all honesty though, she was excited more than anything.

“I can finally see her again…” she said to herself as she walked with Atticus, who only smiled as he followed her into Canterlot Castle.

“Halt, do you have an appointment with the princess?” one of the guards said as they guarded the gates to the castle.

“Of course I do” she said presenting a letter written back to her from Celestia. The guard read it over, and shook visually as he read that standing before her was the Queen of Noraak Thu’m.

“O-Of course indeed! Open the gate!” he yelled and soon the doors opened for her and her troop. “R-right this way!” he said bowing, the other guard bowing and letting her walk through. The small group of six made their way to the grand hall, where Princess Celestia sat reading another report from her student. She looked up to see Chrysalis and her men bowing to her.

“A queen doesn’t need to bow to a princess” Celestia said with a smile as she stood up and walked down from her thrown.

“I wish to be as proper as I can to the ruler of the pony nation, and set an example for our peace talks” Chrysalis responded, and stood up, Atticus and the soldiers following suit.

“Of course, now come with me, we will talk over a meal” Celestia said leading the group into the meeting hall. She sat at the head, with Chrysalis sitting at the other head of the table.

“May we join sister?” another voice called out, belonging to Luna, Princess of the night, who took a spot next to Celestia.

“Of course” she said with a smile and looked to the changelings.

“First let us introduce ourselves” Chrysalis said standing and bowed once more to the sisters. “I am Chrysalis, the changeling queen” she then leaned back pointed to her teacher. “This is my most trusted advisor, Atticus, and these two are my personal guards, Monarch and Lunarch” all three bowed to the sisters before taking their seats.

“And I am Celestia, Princess of the Sun” the sun princess said as she stood and bowed to Chrysalis.

“And I am Luna, Princess of the Night” the younger sister said bowing as well.

“Then shall we begin?” Celestia said with a smile and Chrysalis only nodded with a smile.

The peace talks went on for about roughly two hours, talking of the changelings past aggressions and how conflicts should be avoided. Things went well honestly and Chrysalis seemed to get along fine with Celestia and Luna.

“Then we have come to an agreeance?” Celestia said as she stood up with a smile.

“Yes, changelings will allow entrance to any pony who wishes to come Noraak Thu’m” Chrysalis said with a smile.

“And Ponies shall allow entrance to Changeling’s, with the condition of them entering and staying in their changeling form” Celestia gave her own answer which Chrysalis could understand.

“Neither countries shall have restrictions on trade between the two, taxes on trade cannot and shall not be extreme” Atticus said standing.

“And in both countries, ponies and changelings have the right to become a citizen of either, or both countries” Luna said as she stood as well.

“Then are we all agreed?” Celestia said, each nodding in confirmation.

“Then it shall be done!” Celestia then used her magic and began to write frivolously each condition of the treaty for both sides. “In this case I, Princess Celestia, sign and approve this treaty of peace between Equestria, and Noraak Thu’m” she said leaning down, signing her name.

“We shall also sign this treaty and approve” Luna said taking her quill and began to sign her name onto the treaty. Celestia then walked around and handed the treaty to Chrysalis.

“I, Queen Chrysalis, sign and approve this treaty” Chrysalis said leaning down and signed her name onto the treaty.

“Then it is done!” Celestia said clapping her hands. Two guards then came and took the treaty, walking out of the room with it. “We shall make an exact copy for you, and if you wish you may have one of your men watch us make the copy” Celestia said and Atticus stood.

“I shall volunteer your majesty” he said bowing to Chrysalis who nodded, then bowed to Celestia who nodded as well. He then walked out and followed the guards.

“Princess Celestia, I have one question for you” Chrysalis said smiling to the sun Princess.

“What is it you wish for?” Celestia said with a smile.

“To see Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, where might I find her?” Celestia didn’t change her expression, but she knew this had to be seen. She would Chrysalis see what has happened.

“In the chapel down two floors, my guards will show you there” she said nodding and clapped once more, two guards walking into the room. “Take them to the chapel” she commanded and they nodded and walked with Chrysalis, who bowed before leaving.

“Sister…dost thou not know what has become of Cadence?” Luna asked as she looked to her elder sister.

“She doesn’t, but either way I don’t like the arrangements of Cadence’s marriage” Celestia responded as she looked to Luna. “But trust me, I have a plan” Celestia said standing and winked to Luna, who just blinked in confusion, wondering what her sister could possibly be up to.

Cadence stood there in front of the altar with her future husband, Shining Armor, sighing as she let the priest go through the motions of how the ceremony would happen. This was the practice day before the wedding, where they had to get themselves ready and see how the motions would play out for the big day.

“Hey you ok?” Cadence snapped back to attention, looking over to Shining Armor and smiled sheepishly.

“Yeah! Everything’s fine really” she lied as she thought of Chrysalis. She wondered how she could tell her one true love that she was forced into marriage, but still had the threat of her father, especially when he was right in the room with her.

The doors soon clicked open and she spun around seeing two guards walking in guiding none other, than Chrysalis.

“C-Chrysalis!” she said with wide eyes, watching as the Changelings expression went from smiling, to confusion, then to visual hurt.

“So…nobody told me there would be a marriage today” Chrysalis said as she walked towards the altar, St. Patrick visually displeased as he saw three changelings in the same room as himself.

“Are you the changeling queen here for the peace talks?” Shining Armor said with a smile walking toward Chrysalis.

“I am…and you must be Cadence’s future husband…” she said faking a smile.

“Captain of the Guard, Shining Armor” he said bowing before her.

“Chrysalis, Changling Queen” she said looking down to him, and while he was looking away from her, shot a look of hurt to Cadence.

“Please let me introduce my fiancé!” he said with a smile, extending his arm to Cadence, and Cadence walked slowly to her future husband, looking to her father who just glared at her.

“H-Hello…Ch-Chrysalis” she said looking to her true love.

“Hello again Cadence” Chrysalis said flatly. “So, I guess this is what you really wanted then?” she said to Cadence, who went wide-eyed, tears brimming as she wished she could have just told her the truth of the situation.

“I-I’m…I-I…” Cadence couldn’t talk, and Shining looked between the two of them.

“Do you two…know each other” he said looking to Chrysalis raising an eyebrow.

“We did” she said not looking at him, a look of hurt clearly on Cadence’s face. Chrysalis then turned away, walking to the door. “I wish you luck with your marriage” she said before walking straight out, the guards closing the door behind her. Cadence just watched her walk out, then let go of Shining Armor, running out a side door to be alone, and cry.

“Cadence!” Shining called out, looking to the door, not knowing of the situation, then looked to the front door of the chapel, still not knowing Chrysalis and Cadence’s relationship. St. Patrick though had a look of satisfaction on his face as he believed the changeling wouldn’t show her face again.

Cadence however was in what appeared to be a prayer room, bawling and crying. “I’m so sorry Chrysalis! I’m so sorry!” she cried as she knew she broke her loves heart.

Later that night Chrysalis was in her guest room, drinking her problems away as she sat on her bed.

“Wh-Who needs love huh?! Wh-Who needs someone wh-when all they’ll do is betray you!” she slurred as she kept drinking from a bottle of wine. “After all it’s not like I fought four years of my life to be with her!” she threw the bottle against the wall, shattering it to pieces.

“It’s not like I killed so I can see her again!” she said grabbing the blankets and threw them to the floor.

“It’s not like I reformed my country so I could be with her once more!” she said grabbing a vase and threw it towards the door. Though was caught by magic, as none other than Princess Celestia walked in.

“So this is how you use guest rooms then?” Celestia said as she looked around the room, seeing the utter mess caused by the drunken queen.

“Wh-What do you care?” she said as she sat on the bed, reaching for another bottled of wine.

“Whoa there, that’s enough for tonight” she said pulling it away from her hand.

“I-I can have a little more if I want! I-I need to wash it away!” she said to the princess.

“Wash what away?” she asked raising an eyebrow.

“THE PAIN I FEEL FROM BEING BETRAYED BY THE ONE I LOVE!” she yelled, than tears began to form in her eyes. She then put her hands over her face, and cried. “Look at me…crying in front of another ruler…” she said between sobs. Celestia only kneeled in front of her, waiting for her to pour it all out.

“I fought these past five years so I could be with Cadence once more…I come here and find out she’s getting married!” she sniffled, sobering slightly.

“I fought…and killed…and put a country together, all so I could see her again…” she said to her. “Those nights we spent together before I left must have meant nothing to her…” she said to her as she sniffled on the edge of the bed.

“How many years did you two talk to each other at night?” Celestia asked.

“Six…” Chrysalis sniffled.

“You talked with and spent the night with her every single night?” she asked her and Chrysalis nodded.

“Maybe you’re right and she lost interest after waiting five years” Celestia said standing up. “I find it strange though that after four years of waiting for you, and receiving your letter. Her mother left her and her father was always within eyesight of her” the Princess told Chrysalis, who suddenly remembered Cadence’s father. The hate he had for Chrysalis when he found out they were playing together.

“After all, during those four years, Cadence would always come visit me, and would tell me all about you” Celestia smiled and reached into her pocket. “Though last year after her mother left, Cadence came to me and handed me this drawing she made of you and her” out she pulled a folded piece of paper and handed it to Chrysalis.

“She…did?” she said as she unfolded the paper and visibly gasped. It was a beautiful drawing of her embracing Cadence, underneath the tree, with the flowers blooming as they bloomed when Cadence enchanted them with her love. Chrysalis began to cry once more, holding the paper, remembering those hurtful things she said as she walked into the Chapel.

“I don’t think Cadence could replace those six years when you two spent every single night together underneath that tree” Celestia said with a smile, stood up, and walked towards the door.

“When’s the wedding?” Chrysalis asked.

“Tomorrow, at 2 pm” the Sun Princess responded before looking back to Chrysalis. “But you need to sleep before you make your big entrance” Celestia said casting a spell that put Chrysalis right to sleep, and made it so she would wake up soon enough to get herself prepared to crash a wedding. “She needs to sleep off her alcohol” she said with a smile and walked away. “After all no one wants to have a hangover before crashing a wedding.”

A Wedding to Crash, And a Life of Love

Chapter 4

A Crashed Wedding, And a Life of Love

Chrysalis awoke immediately when Celestia’s spell wore off. And when she did, she shot upright and looked at the time.

“12:30?! Give a girl some time to look good before crashing a wedding!” Chrysalis said as she hurried and cleaned herself off. She wore more proper clothing she had packed and made herself look decent enough. “I wish I had more time, but it takes at least 30 to fly to the tree” she said to herself and ran out the door, seeing Atticus walking up to her.

“Oh! Your majesty I-Whoa!” he gasped as she was suddenly being dragged by Chrysalis.

“Just shut up and come with me!” she said to her teacher. The two ran out the nearest door and Chrysalis took off into the sky. Atticus worked himself free and flew in front of her stopping her.

“Your majesty what is the matter?! After all you can’t just drag me along and not tell me what’s going on!” he said to her. Chrysalis breathed in preparing to tell him all of it in one breath.

“You remember my friend I met with when I was younger? Well I visisted her anyway every night for six years and promised her I would return to her after the revolution, well apparently she was somehow forced to marry when she didn’t want to, and I yelled at her for leaving me, but I found out she really does love me and is going to be married today and now I have to stop the wedding and tell her how I truly feel about her and I need your help to do so!” she said to him, Atticus just standing there for a second, taking it all in, then smiled.

“What are we waiting for?” he said with a smirk and Chrysalis just grinned.

“Follow me!” she said taking off towards the tree, Atticus following closely. Soon they arrived at the tree landing in front of it.

“So what are we doing here?” Atticus asked her.

“Just look for two flowers either about to bud or still in bud, but they have to be the exact same!” she said and began to look around on the ground, seeing the different flowers as she looked for two that were budding, that happened to be the same.

“Your majesty” Atticus called, presenting two flowers that were exactly the same, in the same stage of budding and both with the dirt still around the roots.

“Atticus you’re a life saver!” said hugging him. “Now come on! We only have half an hour before the wedding starts!” she said taking off into the sky.

“This is honestly very exciting” Atticus said with a smile, and took off after her. In a way it reminded him of when her father was trying to woo her mother. Only he didn’t crash a wedding.

Inside the grand hall in Caterlot Castle, Celestia stood at the top of the altar where Shining Armor stood waiting with a smile. The seats had been filled with family and friends of Cadence and Shining Armor, including Celestia’s student, Twilight Sparkle, and her friends. Luna happened to be one of the Maids of Honor and looked over to Celestia.

“What are you planning?” she said telepathically to her sister.

“You’ll see” Celestia said telepathically back to her.

Soon the music began and everyone looked back, watching as Cadence slowly entered the room, wearing a long white bridal gown and approaching the stage. Everyone was smiling and loving how Cadence looked, her father smiling since his daughter wouldn’t be with a changeling. Shining Armor stood there with a smile as Cadence stood next to him, and turned to him. He pulled the veil from her face and smiled to her. Cadence smiled weakly back to him, faking it all.

“Hey…you ok?” he whispered and just nodded.

“Y-Yeah…today’s our big day…right?” she whispered back, still bothered by what had happened yesterday. Celestia looked to the large doors in the front, wondering at what point Chrysalis would come in. But she of course knew she had to start it off as the one to marry them.

“Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today…” though she stopped as she listened and heard the doors burst open and slammed against the walls when they swung open. Celestia smiled as she saw Chrysalis and Atticus standing there, panting for air. “You’re early” Celestia said with a smile.

“I don’t care this wedding can’t happen” Chrysalis said as she walked down the aisle with Atticus, people gasping and murmuring as the changeling queen approached the stage.

“THE HELL YOU MEAN THIS ISN’T GOING TO HAPPEN?!” St. Patrick burst out and Chrysalis just stared at him with her eyes glowing green and began to radiate magic.

“SIT…DOWN…” she basically commanded and he fell back in his chair. Chrysalis walked to the stage to see a shocked Cadence and Shining armor.

“What do you mean this wedding can’t happen?” Shining said beginning to glare at Chrysalis. Cadence honestly felt her heart beating in her chest, wondering why Chrysalis was back, and what was she going to do.

“Because the girl I fought for the last 5 years of my life for doesn’t love you” she said with a smile as she looked to Atticus who walked up and presented the flower buds. “And I’m going to prove it” she said smiling as she looked to Cadence, who was honestly stunned, not believing what Chrysalis was saying after she saw her yesterday.

“How?” shining Armor asked as he looked to the queen and the flowers. Chrysalis only smiled as she looked to Cadence.

“Cadence’s special talent is fueling her magic with her love” she said looking to the flowers. “This is to test who she loves more using the flowers. It should be easy to make them bloom with magic correct?” she said looking to Celestia.

“Yes it is” Celestia answered with a knowing smile.

“Cadence will use her love to fuel her magic for each of us. We can tell the difference with the end result of who she cares for more” she said looking to Shining Armor. “Choose which flower you wish to have” Chrysalis said to him.

“All right, I’ll play this game with you” he said walking up and choosing the flower In Atticus’s right hand. Chrysalis of course chose the remaining flower.

“I’ll let you go first” Chrysalis said and Shining Armor walked in front of Cadence.

“I love you with all my heart Cadence” Shining said with a smile and Cadence smiled back. She was a bit nervous though, afraid what would happen when she would cast her magic into the flower. But she began. Magic coursed through her horn as she looked to Shining and soon enchanted the flower. It bloomed until it was full into a vivid colored rose. Shining turned to present his flower to the room, and most had never a flower as lovely as the one he had. “Your turn” Shining said to Chrysalis, who nodded and walked in front of Cadence.

“Cadence…I’m so sorry about the way I treated you” she said looking up to her. “And I will never treat you like that again…for as long as I live” she said to her love. Cadence was honestly about to cry, seeing Chrysalis sincere and still in love with her. But she had to keep her composure as she nodded and closed her eyes.

“Chrysalis…” Cadence whispered as she thought of the first time they met. The nights they spent together talking, playing, and enjoying each other’s company. And the night she told her she loved her. The moment she finally received the letter, and the multiple drawing she made of her. She thought of it all, and then, Cadence cast her spell. The flower began to bloom slowly, Chrysalis watching as when it opened, it began to glow. The petal had grown larger than the other flower’s, it was full of a lush vivid pink color, and literally glowed. Chrysalis looked up to Cadence, who slowly opened her eyes and tears were streaking down her face.

“I love you…” Chrysalis whispered as she turned to present the flower, not saying anything as the audience literally was speechless. None of them had seen a flower as beautiful as the one Chrysalis was holding now. “This…is the power of true love” she said as she turned back to a Cadence, who was weeping.

“CHRYSALIS!” she said throwing herself into the changeling, who gladly accepted the hug and wrapped her arms around her. “I’m so sorry! I’m sorry I did this to you!” she bawled as she held onto her lover. “My father threatened me! He beat me for loving you!” she bawled out and Chrysalis just stopped.

“HE WHAT?!” she yelled and turned to the man. The man was now in desperation, encountering the wrath of a queen.

“I-I WON’T LET MY DAUGHTER BE WITH SOME FREAK SLUT!” he yelled grabbing one of the guards swords and charged at the queen. Chrysalis put Cadence behind herself, but knew she would be injured by the blade even though she could stop it.

“Oh no you don’t!” Shining Armor dove in front of Chrysalis pushing her out of the way, taking the force of the attack.

“SHINING!” Cadence and Twilight Sparkle, Shining Armors sister, screamed out as they rushed to his aid. Chrysalis however moved to St. Patrick and charged him, knocking the blade from his hand and kicked him in the stomach to the ground. Guards immediately surrounded him and restrained him.

“You…you saved me” Chrysalis said looking to shining armor who was being healed by Twilight Sparkle and Cadence.

“D-didn’t…Didn’t wanna see Cadence hurt” he gagged smirking to her. Chrysalis only smiled to him and nodded.

“Thank you” she sincerely meant that and turned to St. Patrick. “I should kill you for hurting your own daughter and trying to steal from me the most wonderful, beautiful, and most caring person I know” she said as she glared at him. “But you’re still Cadence’s father, and we’re not in Noraak Thu’m, so it’s up to Celestia” she said turning to the Princess.

“St. Patrick, you are under arrest for the abuse of your daughter, and the attempted murder on the Captain of the Royal Guard. Both terrible crimes which deliver harsh punishment for committing them, including high treason” Celestia said as she walked to him. “For this you are banished from seeing your daughter ever again and will rot in a jail cell for the rest of your life” Celestia glared at the man as she delivered the judgment onto him. Cadence then stood up and walked over to her restrained father, slapping him in the face.

“And you are going to suffer the fact knowing that I have and always will love Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings, AND WILL SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH HER!” she yelled at the man.

“NO! NO YOU SLUT! YOU WHORE! MARRYING A FREAK LIKE HER! IF I GET OUT I’LL KILL YOU BOTH! I’LL KILL YOU!” he screamed out as he was dragged away by the guards.

“Well…now that that’s over, how are you Shining?” Celestia said as she looked to Shining armor.

“Heart broken…but I’ll live” she said smiling weakly and looked to Chrysalis. “Don’t hurt her.”

“I won’t” she said with a smile and walked over to Cadence wrapping her arms around her, Cadence doing the same. “I missed you…” the queen said holding her close.

“I missed you too…” Cadence said holding her, tears running down her face as she held onto her love.

“Ahem…I believe this wedding has been ruined, at least for Shining’s side of the family” Celestia said looking to the family members and friends of Shining Armor who started to leave.

“Can we still go on with it?” Cadence said looking to Celestia. “I mean…just with us two instead?” Cadence said looking to the family members, and was surprised to see Twilight and her friends still there.

“Well you’re still getting married right?” one of Cadence’s cousins said standing up.

“Chrysalis?” Cadence asked her lover.

“If you want to” Chrysalis said with a smile.

“Yes!” Cadence said happily.

“Then there’s still ad wedding to see!” the cousin said causing others to nod and agree.

“Yeah! Plus I wanna be here for the party anyways since I already got it planned!” a pink pony who happened to be one of Twilight’s friend said jumping into the air with a big grin on her face.

“I-I don’t wanna ruin the mood, so I’ll stay too” Shining Armor said with a sheepish smile as Twilight helped him up.

“Then the wedding is on!” Celestia said with a smile and looked to Luna.

“Told ya I had a plan” she told her and Luna only smiled and shook her head.

This time, Cadence and Chrysalis stood at the altar, both smiling happily as they listened to Celestia go through the usual lines of marriage and bonding when two who love each other come together. Those who stayed enjoyed themselves as they watched them, crying, or just sitting and enjoying the moment. Even Twilight Sparkle since Cadence was her baby sitter, and seeing her happy made her happy.

“Chrysalis, do you promise to cherish, and love Cadence in sickness and in health, for the rest of your life?” Celestia said to the changeling queen.

“I do” she answered.

“And Cadence, do you as well, promise to hold, love and care for Chrysalis for as long as you live?” the Sun Princess asked.

“I do” Cadence answered staring at Chrysalis.

“I now pronounce…wife…and wife. You may now kiss the bride” Celestia announced. “And have sexy lesbian make-out time” she thought and Luna heard her telepathically.

“Sister!” Luna scolded causing Celestia only to smile.

Chrysalis smiled as she leaned in towards Cadence, who leaned in towards her. Both closing their eyes and pressing their lips together, sharing their first kiss. Everyone around them cheered and clapped for them as they kissed, causing Cadence and look shyly to Chrysalis once they broke the kiss.

“That was the most adorable look I’ve seen from you” chrysalis said with a smile.

“Now you can see it whenever you want” Cadence replied as the two wrapped their arms around each other and kissed once more.

The wedding was soon over and reception had been a wonderful success thanks to the Pink Party Pony. Everyone who stayed enjoyed the wedding and wished them well as they left. Even Shining Armor before her left to have his wound checked. Now all who was left was Chrysalis, Cadence, the Princesses, and Atticus.

“So, would you two like the honeymoon suite in the castle before you go to Noraak Thu’m?” Celestia asked as she looked to the happy couple.

“I believe that would be wonderful, don’t you think Chrysalis?” Cadence asked with a smile.

“I whole-heartedly agree…” Chrysalis said smiling as she stood up and scooped Cadence into her arms.

“Y-Yahn! Ch-Chrissy!” Cadence said with a blush and Chrysalis just smiled.

“Third floor, go left, fifth room on the right” Celestia said with a smile and Chrysalis just started walking to the stairs.

“Thank you, and now Cadence, to enjoy the rest of our evening” Chrysalis said looking down to a blushing Cadence.

“O-Ok” she said giving Chrysalis that shy look again. The two went off and the three left behind only smiled as they watched them leave.

“With that, I’m off to bed. This certainly has been the most exciting wedding I’ve ever seen” Atticus said standing and walked towards the direction his room was.

“Rest well” Celestia said as she and Luna watched him walk away. Now it was the princess of the sun and moon left.

“Think about it…those two about to have hot lesbian sex right now” Celestia said smirking to her sister.

“Thou knowest she is family correct?” Luna said raising an eyebrow.

“Hot lesbian sex is hot lesbian sex” Celestia said standing up. “Speaking of which, haven’t you been a little too loud with the wall-eyed mail pony of yours?” Celestia said causing Luna to blush.

“W-We are not!...A-Are we?” Luna said looking to Celestia who just smiled and walked away. “H-HEY!”

In the bedroom of Cadence and Chrysalis, the two were laying with each other, blushing at one another as they thought of…doing it.

“S-So…you haven’t done this before?” Chrysalis asked.

“N-No…you?” Cadence asked.

“N-no…s-so um…w-wanna just…cuddle for now?” Chrysalis asked, feeling a little embarrassed about not knowing what to do.

“Y-Yes…cuddling would be nice…” Cadence felt the same way, both being virgins and having no idea how to start it off. So they just cuddled on the first night, and slept together in each other’s arms peacefully.
