This story is a sequel to What if: Rarity from The Three Sisters met with Chrysalis

Choosing whether or not to visit Chrysalis has been bugging Rarity for a week since receiving an invitation to do so. But there seems to be trouble brewing in the Hive and Rarity now has little time to act. Either way, her family's future rests in her hooves.

Now with a TV Tropes page! Warning: Will Contain spoilers.

Defeated and separated from her beloved hive, Chrysalis finds herself at a quaint little town named Ponyville. Fuming and down on her luck, she also finds herself in much need of love. But as our dear changeling queen discovers, love can come from the most unexpected sources.

After discovering a piece of the Nightmare's corruption residing within everypony, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna conducted an experiment to extract that magic. Their efforts were a success on Twilight Sparkle and her friends, but at a heavy cost. Instead of inanimate objects like the armor from Nightmare Moon, the most negative traits of the bearers were ponyfied. These manifestations of the Nightmare couldn't reside in Equestria nor could they be destroyed or banished. The act would also affect the true bearers. So they called upon a curious stallion to watch over them and guide them to true happiness in a distant, foreign city. Years later, the situation had worsened rather than improved. These are the chronicles of their caretaker; in a place that he referred to as 'the last casino.'

A/N: Trust me, this summary does not do the story any justice properly. I promise that you'll find an intriguing plot and better 'summary' if you read the prologue. I guarantee it.

Also, guru is my hero once again for the cover image and his encouragement on getting me to write this. You can find his art here: http://thegamefilmguruman.deviantart.com/

After GLaDOS is uploaded into a potato battery, Wheatley humiliates the AI even further by uploading her into a project that was abandoned by Aperture a long time ago. In the blink of an eye, she finds herself in a deformed body of flesh and bone that resembles an equine, and is just as powerless as one too. It comes with all of its needs and bodily functions as well. To make matters worse, she's trapped in a land full of insufferable creatures that just want to make 'friends.' Will GLaDOS' cold, sadistic sense of humor and morals get the better of the ponies? Or will they peel away the once artificial being's metallic shell and find that there's a softer side? Probably not, but it's worth a try.
