What Am I Doing Here?
Chapter Ten - Blood Diamond
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSo, it's been a few days since Rose kissed me. It shocked the hell outta me, and I don't think Chrysalis took the news well. I told her I would give it a shot and I did. But it didn't feel right. But being with Rose, one of the only ponies who understands me, feels perfect.
Anyway, they visited everyday as I stayed in Fluttershy's bed. I constantly told her that I didn't feel right taking her bed, but she strongly insisted. So, I've had nothing to do but keep playing Pokemon White 2 and catching all the Pokemon. Not joking, all 649 are mine.
Not. Fucking. Joking.
I've had way too much free time. Today, something weird happened. Instead of Rose, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scoots, it was Chrysalis. I was nervous around her, but not scared. She doesn't scare me. She sat down next to the bed and scratched the back of her head.
"So, I heard about you and Rose."
I nodded and kept playing my game.
"Yeah. Me and her are kind of...together now."
Chrysalis nodded and stood up. She walked around in a circle and kicked Fluttershy's bed.
"How?! The Prophets said that you would love me!"
I shrug and turn off my DSi.
"I don't know. Maybe they were wrong?"
She turned to me with pure anger, walked over and grabbed me by the neck.
"They are never wrong."
I was slowly choking to death, although I couldn't tell her because she had an iron grip.
"They always tell what will happen and they are always right. Never been wrong."
At this point my face must've gone blue, because her face changed from rage to fear as she let go. I breathed in air! Sweet air! You never know how good something is until you've almost choked to death.
"I am sorry."
I nod and wave my hand, the other being around my neck trying to massage it. I look up to her and gulp.
"I think they meant love like a friend."
She blinked and sat down next to me. I continued.
"I may not love you like a couple love each other, but I love you as much as those three fillies in a sort of 'Best Friend/Big Brother' way."
Chrysalis looked down then back up to me. She had anger in her eyes.
"Not good enough."
I was about to ask her what she was doing, but the last thing I saw was her horn glowing and Fluttershy entering the room.
-----3rd Pony Perspective-----
Fluttershy watched as Chrysalis moved her glowing horn closer to Crystal's forehead. When it touched, Crystal's eyes spun in their sockets and were glowing green. Fluttershy flew towards Chrysalis and tried stopping her.
"What are you doing?!"
Chrysalis turned to the timid pegasus with an evil smile.
"Making him love me."
In a flash of green light, Chrysalis was gone along with Crystal. Fluttershy didn't know where they were, but she knew who she had to tell.
She flew out of the bedroom, out of her house and towards Ponyville. When she got there she went straight to Rose's house. She flew up to the door and knocked. Rose answered the door with a smile.
"Oh? Fluttershy? I was just about to go to your house to see how Crystal was doing."
Fluttershy shook her head, panting.
"I...need to....tell you something."
Rose nodded and walked inside her house, Fluttershy followed her. Rose sat down on her couch and motioned with her hoof to speak.
Fluttershy took a deep breath.
"Crystal got kidnapped by Chrysalis after she put a spell on him."
Rose stared at Fluttershy, unable to process what she just said. She tried calming down, but couldn't. Fluttershy was patting her back, trying to comfort her.
"Listen, I'll be right back. I just need to go to school and tell the fillies."
As Fluttershy headed for the door, Rose shot up from the couch with tears in her eyes.
"No! We need to go and get him!"
Fluttershy flew over to her and pushed her onto the couch.
"And we will. After I tell the fillies."
Rose huffed and nodded.
"Fine."
Fluttershy smiled and flew out the door and towards the school. When she approached Applebloom was with Applejack as well as Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.
"Ya'll in big trouble, ya hear!?"
Fluttershy flew up to AJ and waved a hoof.
"Hi, Applejack. Mind if I talk to them? It's important."
AJ shook her head and gave Applebloom an angry look.
"This little filly did something horrible!"
-----A Few Minutes Ago-----
While Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were sitting down eating their food, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon walk up to them with smug looks.
"Well, well, well. Look what we have here. The blank flank who got saved by the freak."
Applebloom looked away in anger.
"Go away, Diamond Tiara. Ah don't wanna see you again."
"Ooh. Why? Because the freak got mauled by Timberwolves? He's weak! That's why he couldn't fight off the Timberwolves!"
Applebloom glared at Diamond Tiara.
"He wouldn' be hurt if ya didn't get mah screwdriver!"
"What? The piece of junk?"
Applebloom pulls her screwdriver out of her bow and nodded.
"Yeah. Crystal gave it to me. So, it's special."
Diamond Tiara huffed.
"My daddy gets me better stuff then a piece of junk like that! What's it even do?"
Applebloom looked back up with absolute hate.
"All sorts of things. But ya know what?"
Applebloom gets up and advances towards Diamond Tiara, making her back up in fear to a tree. Applebloom smiled wickedly and continued advancing until she was face to face with Diamond Tiara. Applebloom holds her screwdriver up to Diamond Tiara's eyes.
"Ah dunno wha' happens if ah do THIS!"
She turned the screwdriver on, flashing it in Diamond Tiara's eyes. Diamond Tiara had a sort of seizure and was convulsing violently. Diamond Tiara squealed before she fainted onto the ground.
-----Present-----
"She deserved it! She made Crystal come and save me!"
Applejack looked at her sister with anger.
"Ya didn' have ta give her a seizure!"
Applebloom looked away from her sister then to Fluttershy.
"What did ya wanna tell us?"
Fluttershy looked to AJ, who nodded, then back to Applebloom.
"Chrysalis put a spell on Crystal then teleported away with him."
Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo gasp. Applebloom didn't hesitate, she ran straight towards the Everfree Forest, to the place Chrysalis said her hive was.
"Applebloom! Come back here righ' now!"
She ignored the words of her sister. She was now hell bent on saving Crystal.
"We're coming with you!"
She looks to her left and see's Sweetie Belle smiling and running along side her. Applebloom smiles and looks to her right to see Scootaloo.
"He didn't wait to save you, so we won't wait to save him!"
Applebloom smiled and continued running to the Changeling Hive.
Meanwhile, Applejack and Fluttershy ran to get their friends.
"Fluttershy, you get Dash and Pinkie! Ah'll get Twilight an' Rarity!"
Fluttershy nodded and ran to Rose's house to check up on her first. She opened the door and flew in.
"Rose! Rose?"
Fluttershy looked all around for the earth pony but couldn't find her. Instead she found a note on the kitchen table.
Love makes you do crazy things. ~ Rose
-----Everfree Forest-----
Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle all stood near the entrance to the Changeling Hive. Applebloom took a deep breath and looked around. It looked like a cave that had a massive oil leak then the oil flooded out. Applebloom looked to her friends and nodded.
"Let's go."
"Hang on a bit!"
They all spun around and saw Rose running towards them. She stopped running when she got to them, panting.
"You're not saving Crystal without me! He's my coltfriend and he doesn't belong to this Queen or this hive!"
The fillies smile and nod.
"Alright, then. Let;s go!"
The ponies all ran into the hive, not knowing what may be ahead. They entered a massive throne room, filled with Changelings. At the end of the room sat Queen Chrysalis and next to her, with glowing green eyes was Crystal, staring off into space. Rose reached forward towards him.
"Crystal!"
Chrysalis laughed and stroked Crystal's hair.
"He cannot hear you. He's under my spell, which forces him to love me."
Rose glared at Chrysalis and took a battle stance.
"We're not leaving him with you!"
Chrysalis ignored her completely and stood up, circling Crystal.
"Did you know that he loves you?"
Rose gasped, but quickly looked back at Chrysalis with anger. Chrysalis laughed a tiny bit, still circling him.
"That love is what is currently feeding this hive. Added on with your love for him, is making for a great feast for both my subjects and for me!"
Chrysalis laughed and sat back in her throne. Rose looked right at her.
"Do you love him, Chrysalis?"
Chrysalis looked slightly insulted before regaining composure.
"So what if I do?"
Rose walked forward a few steps and held a hoof to her heart.
"Because if you truly loved him, you would let him do what he wants and love who he wants."
Chrysalis looked away from Rose and at Crystal. She closed her eyes and re faced the front. She opens her eyes and sighs.
"I didn't want to do this, I had no choice. Without him, we would starve."
"That is incorrect."
Chrysalis gasped and looked behind her. One of the Prophets was behind her.
"I said that he would love you, I never said in what way. What he said before about loving you like a best friend, was the type of love I meant. And if you let him go right now that love will still feed this hive."
Chrysalis growled and jumped up from her throne and towards the Prophet.
"What!? Then I never had to bring him here?!"
The Prophet nodded and turned around.
"I shall take my leave. Good bye, sister."
The Prophet walked off, leaving Chrysalis in anger. She sighed and turned to Rose.
"I will release him from my spell. You're lucky to have him."
Rose smiled and walked towards the throne with the fillies following behind. She got up to Crystal and turned to Chrysalis with a smile.
"Yeah, I am lucky."
Chrysalis smiled and closed her eyes. Her horn glowed and there was a bright, green flash of light.
-----Crystal's Perspective------
Holy monkey fucking shit my head hurt. I woke up once again in Fluttershy's bed with a massive fucking headache. I had the weirdest dream though.In the room with me was Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Rose and Scootaloo. Rose was lying next to me on the bed. She turned to me and smiled.
"Slept well?"
I grin and hug her.
"Well, I had a bloody weird dream about Chrysalis."
Rose grimaced and looked away.
"Really? How weird."
I tap the side of her head to get her attention. When she turns around I kiss her on the lips. She blushes and looks away while I wear a goofy arse grin. The three fillies laugh as I hug Rose and playfully swing her around. All of us were laughing until someone knocked on the door.
"It's open!"
Chrysalis walks into the room with a sad look on her face.
"Hi, Crystal."
I smile and motion my hand for her to come closer.
"Hey, Chrysalis. I had a dream about you taking me to your hive."
She moved closer and her face also adopted my smile.
"Really? That's a very strange dream. How is everypony else?"
I shrug and gesture to my body.
"I'm doing alright. Fluttershy said I'll be out in a few days. Oh! Chrysalis, sorry to say but me and Rose are-"
"I know. I couldn't be happier for you."
I smile and reach over to Chrysalis, grabbing her in a very tight hug.
"You'll still be my friend, right?"
She grins and pats my back.
"Of course, Crystal."
I release her and she looks over to the three fillies. She sits in front of them and changes into Diamond Tiara in what looked like green flames. She even had her voice!
"I'm Diamond Tiara and I am a snobbish brat!"
The fillies fall over laughing, so does Chrysalis. I chuckle and look to Rose, who was suppressing a giggle. I smile and kiss her on the forehead. She looks to me and rests her head on my chest. Right now, I was happy. Happier then I was on Earth. I had friends, a marefriend and three little girls that meant the world to me.
All I needed now was a one armed clown with a trombone.
