This is a test of the Emergency Clop Story Alert System. This is only a test. The INCOMPLETE and FOR SOME REASON MARKED T RATED story you are reading is part of a SITEWIDE live code test of Emergency Clop Story Alert System capabilities. This test message has been initiated by ~STRANGE~TART~ ZACK CATCHER in coordination with Emergency Clop Alert System participants including cable, satellite, and wireline participants in your area. Had this been the actual Clop Story, the first chapter delivered to you would have been followed by at least one M RATED chapter, which would make this the actual story. This is only a test. We now return you to regular fimfic programming.

In the aftermath of the Changeling invasion, the surviving changelings abandoned their hive and hid within the Everfree Forest. With no home or leader, many became desperate, leading some ponies to secretly take them in as pets—despite the practice being illegal. Nova, struggling with her heat and longing for companionship, decides to attend a hidden auction to buy a changeling for herself, unknowingly setting events in motion that will change both their lives forever.
