Not a wish

Someone was shaking me awake again, I just tried to bat away the hooves but they wouldn't stop so I opened my eyes to see who was trying to wake me up.

“I think I have the spell to fix your lover, where is she? Who leaves a foal alone to sleep?” Chrysalis hissed, angry at my stupidity.

“But the nanny said she would take care of her...” I said.

“You idiot! There is no nanny in the castle, how stupid are you!?” Chrysalis yelled, knocking me out of my bed.

“I have no clue!” I said, standing up from the floor and getting back on the bed.

“Apparently really stupid since you didn't ask to see any proof that she is an actual nanny! Now your lover has been foal napped and we don't know where she could be!”  Chrysalis said angrily, walking out of my room and into the living room to look for something.

“What do we do?” I asked still lying on the bed.

“You do nothing, you would just ruin everything again!” She said, changing into Spotless and using her magic to bring out a lost poster with Bridgets foal picture on it.

“Alright.” I said, lying still on the bed.

“You don't even care about her anyway, I bet your love for her was fake in the first place, you hate her.” She said, making more lost posters with her magic and not even bothering to look back at me.

“What makes you say that?” I asked getting up.

“You're not trying to do anything, you're just staying on the bed, not caring about the pony you love.” Chrysalis said, turning to look at me.

“Hey! I care about her!” I said.

“If you did you wouldn't be sitting on your bed and letting me do everything.” Chrysalis said, walking out onto the balcony.

“What am I supposed to do?” I asked. “I barely know what to do right now!”

“How many bits are you willing to put on the lost posters to find her?” Chrysalis asked, floating a lost poster with a space left to put the number of bits for her.

“.... A thousand I guess, its all that I have.” I said, looking at the poster.

“Didn't you clean out two princess bedrooms for a thousand bits an hour? you took four hours to clean out Celestia’s room, and one hour for Twilight’s room.” Chrysalis said.

“Correction, I’ll offer four thousand.” I said. Chrysalis floated the poster next to me and used her magic to make a quill, giving both to me.

“Write that.” She commanded.

I just quickly wrote it down, with my signature for insurance I guess. She took it back and looked at it, before using her magic to make copies, then her horn glowed again and forty or so changelings appeared in the room, looking at me.

“Take to your disguises and pass these posters around to everypony, do not fail me.” Chrysalis said, handing a hundred posters to each changeling before they changed and either ran or flew out of the room with them, then Chrysalis turned and looked at me, frowning.

“I am not doing this for you Jay, I am doing this to fix my mistake.” Chrysalis said.

“Huh.... Alright....” I said as I sat down on the floor. “What now?”

“You just have to wait, or if you wish, go out onto the street and ask around if they saw a pony with that foal, its all you can do now.” Chrysalis said, walking over to me and putting a hoof on my shoulder, “You can cry you know, its normal to do that in this sort of situation.” She said quietly.

I just sat there, quietly. She nodded, “I’ll leave you alone, I will be back later.” She teleported away. I felt like crying, but I knew that that wouldn’t help anything. So I sat there, in all quietness. The very uncomfortable silence, I sat there for a while before sighing sadly, and sniffling a bit.

“Being lonely sucks.” I said to myself. A changeling came back through the balcony door and stared at me.

“What? Did something happen?” I asked looking at him.

“I here to keep company.” The changeling said, sounding more like a bug then chrysalis.

“Really?” I asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Yes, Queen said she made mistake, you sad, she ask me to keep company because she can't.” The changeling said, landing on the ground.

“Not bad, Well.... Um do you have a deck of cards?” I asked.

“What cards? Is that pony? My name one hundred thirty two, I close to queen.” The changeling said confused.

“How do one explain what a card is?” I said walking up to the changeling and throwing my hoof around its neck. “Well, lets go search some up and I’ll explain it.”

“Ok.” The changeling said, following me. After about a half an hour of searching for cards, we found a fully stacked deck, shuffled and everything. So I picked up a card with my magic and showed it to Number one hundred thirty two.

“So, as you can see my friend... Or one of thirty two, this is a card.” I said.

“I see...” He hissed, interested in the cards.

“As you can see, there are a lot of different cards.” I said picking up several different cards and showing them to him.

“There purpose, nothing?” The changeling asked.

“To play with.” I said, I then showed him the basics of playing cards. I showed him how to play Blackjack, and a few other simple card games.

“Play game, I try?” He asked, picking up a couple cards.

“Sure.” I said picking up the deck, shuffling it and dealing some cards to me and Number One hundred thirty two.

I cried as the orange thing put me into a big black box and closed the wooden thing, leaving me in darkness. I was scared when the box started to move and could hear the orange thing outside it running. I didn't want to leave, I wanted to be with the gray thing! I cried until the box stopped moving and the orange thing opened the wooden thing, letting in the brightness and putting the glow around me again, yelling at me and making me cry more.

The glow brought me into a big damp room that was under the green stuff on the ground, the orange thing closed the metal things and left me on the damp floor after taking a sharp cold thing and clipping my wings so I couldn't fly. The metal thing opened again and I saw the gray thing, it had come to see me! I ran up to it and it kicked me against the wall, screaming at me and then at the orange thing that was by the metal thing, the gray thing that I loved didn't love me back, and I cried, the gray thing laughed and walked out the metal thing with the orange thing as I cried on the floor.

Surprising after the changeling learned how to play card games, it was able to win and play the card games quickly. after thirty minutes the changeling had won at all the card games I had told him how to play and the changeling was happy to have learned, but I was a angry I hadn't won anything.

“Games good!” The changeling said happily.

“I know right!” I said back happily. “You are really good.”

“I know good, easy games learned.” The changeling said.

“Yeah... These games were pretty easily learned....”  I said bringing a hoof up to my chin, trying to think of a harder game to teach him. A note held in a orange glow floated over to me and hit me on the nose.

“Why note here?” Asked One hundred whatever, I will give him a normal name later.

“I don’t know...” I said taking the note. “Who would float this here?” I took it out of the air and opened it, looking at the words written on it.

I found one of your lovely fliers and saw how many bits you were willing to give, but I am not looking for money, this little filly will become an excellent thief when she grows up, she just has to learn to be tougher, and we will teach her exactly how to do that by showing her that crying and showing weakness is punishable. Goodbye Silver Dust, Hello Silver Catcher, you will not be finding your daughter any time soon and you will never see her again. She is hidden in the best possible hiding spot in Equestria, this is the only note you will be given, stop looking for her.

“Well...... Fuck.” Was all that I could mutter out after seeing the note.

“Note bad?” The changeling asked.

“Yeah.....”

“I get queen, she see.” The changeling said, teleporting away.

“Okay.....” muttered out reading the note again. Chrysalis soon appeared alongside my changeling friend.

“One hundred thirty two said that a note was given to you?” Chrysalis asked, a sort of angry fire in her eyes.

“Yeah, here.” I said floating over the note to Chrysalis. She read it and crumpled it up, before setting it on fire.

“They are going to make her a thief?! These ponies are even crazier than I first imagined.” She said, stomping on the ashes.

“Wait.... What? You knew these ponies?” I asked.

“No I do not know them, but I knew they were crazy to foalnap a filly.” Chrysalis said, changing into Spotless and walking onto the balcony. One hundred whatever changed into Prince Blueblood and smiled at me.

“I been around you before.” He said

“Oh....”

“One time though.” He said, changing back into his own form.

“Huh... So uh.... what now?” I asked.

“We look for her of course.” Chrysalis said determined, as she walked back inside and changed back into her own form.

“Eh.... Sure! But... Where?” I asked again.

“Every secure location in Equestria, there isn't many, and I assume that this pony means a basement. I have looked into many ponies basements before I tried to conquer Canterlot, and only a few had basements in canterlot, what did this pony you met look like?” Chrysalis asked.

“She was orange, and was a unicorn.” I said, looking around

“Cutie mark?” Chrysalis asked.

“Uh, didn’t see it.” I replied

“Ok so you didn't know what it was.” Chrysalis said, teleporting onto the balcony

“Yeah, thats right.” I said.

“Ok well, we have approximately...twenty orange unicorns in Canterlot, so lets go.” Chrysalis said, changing into Spotless and teleporting us to the ground.

“Okay.... Um, where do we start then?” I asked looking at spotless.

“Follow me.” She said, running down a road. I just ran after her, not knowing where we were going. Soon she stopped at a house that looked like an orange and knocked hard on it until a pony couple opened the door.

“Yes, what is it?” The orange mare asked.

“Yes we are quite busy.” The stallion said from behind the mare.

“Never mind.” Spotless said, running away from the door to the confusion of the pony couple, leaving me at the door.

I just remained silent and looked at the couple before smiling sheepishly and running after her.
