To Change a Changeling Heart

The Mane 7 watched Chrysalis like a hawk when they took Chrysalis to Twilight's castle to where she will be staying temporarily. She felt uncomfortable when seven ponies were giving her the death glare the whole time. She wished that she could turn into a fly and hide in the grass, but unfortunately, she was forced to have the magic blocker until she was trusted enough without it. Which will take 100 moons.

"You know that I don't have my magic, right?" Chrysalis said in a bored tone.

"Its good to keep an eye on ya, just in case." Applejack responded.

"In case of what? That I would outrun seven ponies? Ones that are able to use magic on me if I ran off? Oh please. All of you are too superstitious."

"Don't expect us to trust you right away. You are one of our biggest enemies so far." Rarity said the last words awkwardly.

"And I was looking forward to that. The desire for revenge, the anticipation of karma. Its thrilling!" Chrysalis sighed. "But now I'm forced to be taught friendship."

"Revenge can be pretty fun." Starlight said in a lowered tone, which it seems that Chrysalis was the only one who heard that.

As they approached the castle doors, Chrysalis looked at it in disgust. It was too... colorful, and had too many bright rocks. It was no surprise that Twilight and Starlight lived here. They had poor taste when it comes to castle colors.

"Are you sure you two will be ok with her?" Fluttershy kept glancing at Chrysalis in fear. Chrysalis just smirked. At least somepony was afraid of her still.

"We'll be fine." Twilight reassured her. "I highly doubt that she will pull any tricks on us since she has her magic disabled."

All of them looked at her with doubtful looks.

"She is unpredictable." Rainbow Dash warned her. "Just keep your guard on."

"Oh, we will." Twilight responded, while Starlight just nodded determinedly.

"Well, good luck darlings!" Rarity said, and with a fierce look at Chrysalis, she walked away.

Soon, the rest of Mane 5 did the same thing.

Finally, now its just these two. Chrysalis thought, sighing in relief.

As they walked into the castle, Chrysalis cringed even more. Why was it so purple? And she's going to stay here? Might as well kill my eyes while you're at it.

"Starlight and Chrysalis." Twilight walked in front of the two. Chrysalis and Starlight both sat next to each other, but they were keeping their distance. Chrysalis despised being calmly sat next to pony who ruined her life, and Starlight just looked at her nervously.

"So, I know that you two are bitter enemies and thus have no spark of friendship between you two." Twilight began.

"You think?" Chrysalis and Starlight both said sarcastically.

Twilight raised a hoof to silence them. "Which is why I decided that Starlight," Twilight looked at the mare. "You'll be sharing a room with Chrysalis."

"WHAT?!" They both screamed in disbelief. She cannot be serious.

"I refuse to sleep with her!" Chrysalis pointed accusingly at Starlight.

"Now you're raising the bar way too much. I know I said that I will help you with Chrysalis, but you never told me that I'll be roommates with her! Its bad enough sitting next to her!" Starlight said angrily to Twilight.

"I knew that you two would despise this, which is understandable. But I feel that in order for you two to get along, you need to share a room together, and I don't know, vent out feelings or something."

They both looked at her, dumbfounded.

Twilight started sweating nervously. "Well, don't just stand around! Go to your room and adjust!"

But Chrysalis didn't move. "I'm not moving a single inch." She sat down defiantly.

Annoyed, Twilight cast a spell and teleported Chrysalis and Starlight to her bedroom.

"No!" Starlight immediately grabbed the kites with her magic and teleported them somewhere else.

Chrysalis looked at her with confusion and amusement. "You like kites?"

Starlight looked at her awkwardly. "What? No. Of course not."

Chrysalis rolled her eyes. "Whatever. I'm out of here." She grabbed the door knob with her hoof, but it wouldn't move. "You have got to be kidding me."

"What?"

"She locked us in here." Chrysalis kept banging her head on the door.

"Well, she locked you in here. I can just teleport out if I please." Starlight said, amusement caked her tone.

"Then why don't you?" Chrysalis snarled.

"To make sure that you don't destroy my stuff."

Darn it, that was exactly what I was going to do. she thought sadly. Destroying your enemy's things were fun. But now she's not allowed to have fun.

This was going to be a long day.

Hours had passed and Twilight opened Starlight's door to check in on the two.

Chrysalis made a nest at the upper left corner of the ceiling, drawing posters that said "I hate Starlight" and quietly watched the pony with an intense glare, while Starlight, with the rest of her things crammed in a corner, just laid on her bed with an annoyed look on her face.

She lifted her head to stare at Twilight with narrowed eyes. "You're lucky that I'm reformed, you know."

Twilight looked startled. "What do you mean?"

"You putting me and Chrysalis in the same room? In my room? My evil self would've just stripped your cutie mark and ran off with it to the ends of Equestria by now."

"Please do!" Chrysalis cheered from her nest. She might have been joking, sadly, but it would be very entertaining to watch. Although she still doubts that she is able to do that anyway. There were reminders that Starlight had been evil in the past, but she never took it seriously. She just thought they made that up to make her feel better.

"Look, I'm sorry that I put you in this situation, but in order for her to reform, she has to put aside her hatred of you. And I felt that the best way to do that is to make you guys roommates." Twilight said to both of them.

They just glared at her.

"Anyways, me and Spike are about to have dinner." Twilight beckoned her head to the castle doors, with the dinner hall being nearby. "You can come if you want, but Chrysalis is coming."

"I'd rather not eat slop." Chrysalis turned her body away from the others.

"Well, you don't have a choice." Twilight's horn glowed and with a flash, she and Twilight disappeared.

Alone, Starlight sighed in annoyance as she looked at the mess that Chrysalis made in her room.

Chrysalis suddenly appeared from Twilight's teleportation spell. She landed on a chair, which she sat on. She looked at the table. It was just her and Twilight alone.

"I thought you said the pipsqueak would be joining us." Chrysalis looked around for the dragon. "Did I scare him off?"

"He's bringing in the food." An unamused Twilight replied.

Spike appeared from the other room with a tray with food. Twilight looked at it in hunger while Chrysalis looked at it blankly. The food were fruit cups, apples and some bananas, and even had cucumber sandwiches.

Chrysalis looked in disgust when she saw the pony and the dragon eat the food. "You guys eat this stuff?"

"Yeah, and its pretty good!" Spike grabbed an apple from his hand and gave it to Chrysalis. She immediately slapped it away.

"Don't give me any of that pony food!" She snarled.

"Chrysalis, if you are going to live with us, you have to eat like us." Twilight said as she ate a cucumber sandwich. "Seriously, you are missing out."

"I'm sorry, Princess Twilight," she said her name bitterly. "but this is not something a changeling would eat."

"Well, what do you eat?" Spike asked.

"For starters, love." Chrysalis opened her mouth to suck the love out of Spike, but to no avail. She was confused. Why wasn't she getting love? She looked at Twilight, who pointed a hoof at her own horn.

She knew what she meant. "Oh come on! I can't suck love either? I should've just ditched and made a run for it when I had the chance."

"There has to be something else that you like to eat." Spike suggested.

Chrysalis pondered for a moment. "Well, we do like eating bugs."

"What kind of bugs?" Twilight asked, although Chrysalis saw that she was a little bit grossed out.

"Hm, the usual, centipedes, spiders, and maybe ladybugs." Chrysalis said, thinking.

"Did you say LADYBUGS?" Twilight flapped her wings in delight. Before Chrysalis could respond, Twilight teleported somewhere. Just then she heard the voices of Twilight and Starlight. And since they were not too far away, Chrysalis guessed that she teleported to Starlight's room.

Chrysalis could make out the muffled conversation.

"Starlight! We're going ladybug hunting!"

"Why?" Chrysalis heard confusion in Starlight's voice.

"Because we're going to give Chrysalis a buffet of them!"

"Twilight what are you-"

She heard a flash of magic, and she no longer heard voices.

Chrysalis looked at the wall, trying to process what's going on.

"Yeah, sorry about that." Spike said after a moment of silence. "She really hates ladybugs, and when she heard that you eat them, she went crazy."

"I know. I was there." she muttered.

It had been a few hours since the dinner. Twilight and Starlight teleported back to the castle, with a basket filled with ladybugs. Which Starlight carried over since Twilight was too scared to levitate them for some reason.

After her belly was full, she went to her and Starlight's room. She looked at her wall, annoyed that she saw that the "I hate Starlight" posters that she creatively made had been torn down.

It's ok, I'll make more.

Then later, Starlight came into the bedroom.

"I'm going to sleep." Starlight announced to the changeling. "And I swear, you better not be thinking about sucking the love out of me in my sleep."

"Just found out that I can't do that." Chrysalis said as she pointed at her horn.

"Good." Starlight went under her blanket, and turned off the light and closed her eyes.

"I can just stare at you all day if you like." Chrysalis towered over Starlight with a wide grin.

With her magic, she forcefully placed Chrysalis into her nest, and cast a spell on her so she would be unable to move her body.

"Hey! I'm stuck!" Chrysalis called out.

"And you'll stay there until tomorrow." Starlight responded back.

Chrysalis just muttered hate comments until she drifted off to sleep.

She dreaded of what tomorrow would be like if every day was going to be a similar repeat of this one.
