//------------------------------// // Changelings on Earth // Story: Earth's Changeling Era // by Nightmare Chaser //------------------------------// Chrysalis growled at the defeat she suffered. Not only had she lost control of Shining Armor's mind she also lost the chance to feed her people, all because of that wretched unicorn and furless biped. Chrysalis was suddenly interested in the bipedal creature that was known as Chase and more importantly how a creature like him could preform magic equal to, from what she could sense, princess Celestia. A smile spread on her snout as she thought of the possibility of what kind of world he came from. She cackled as she imagined how long she could feed her people off the love from the denizens of his world. With a resolve found she set out to find a way to get to his world. ******* Chase walked down the only path to Fluttershy's cottage with a smile and a basket filled with flower seeds from his world as well as some food for the animals she cared for. He thought about what happened three days ago, the wedding, the invasion, and more importantly, finding out that he and Fluttershy had the same feelings for each other. Upon finding out each others feelings they became each others special someponies. Chase smiled at the thought of both of them spending their lives together. He heard the familiar melodious singing off his special yellow mare as her cottage came into view. Chase saw Flutters in her front yard tending to the many animals that she keeps including the little devil himself, Angel. He was pestering Flutters about something, what he didn't know. "What's Angel bugging you about this time Fluttershy?" Chase said as he entered through the front gate. Fluttershy looked up from the animals and smiled before hugging her special somepony who returned the hug. "Oh nothing really sweetie," she said with her usual calm smile, "He's just asking me why your coming over today." Chase smiled and looked at the rabbit who just glared back at him. He chuckled actually surprised that he threatened Angel, to which he was glad cause with Chase around he wouldn't get to push Fluttershy around. "Well it's good to know that he cares so much." Chase said sarcastically. Fluttershy giggled before noticing the basket Chase had. "What's in there?" she asked and poked the basket cautiously. "Well I thought you could use some more flowers for your garden and brought some seeds from my world for you to plant in your garden." Chase said pulling out some of the seeds. "I also brought some food for some of the animals you take care of as well as a carrot for Angel if he behaved." Angel's ears perked up when he heard that the human brought him a carrot. Chase noticed this and grinned taking the carrot out of the basket, a big carrot that looked fresh. Angel drooled at the sight and decided to be Chase's best friend putting on a smile. "Oh that was nice of you," Fluttershy said, nuzzling Chase, "You're so caring Chase." Chase smiled kissing Fluttershy on the cheek. He was escorted into his marefriend's cottage where he set the basket on the top of her fireplace, out of the reach of Angel. Angel looked at Chase annoyed at the inconvenience and only earned a chuckle. "So Flutters," Chase said as he stretched. "Got any plans outside of taking care of your animals today? Cause I ain't got anything to do." "Well I was going to head into town for a spa day with Rarity if you'd like to come," she said "If you don't mind that is." "I don't at all Fluttershy." he said with a smile. She smiled and left the cottage with C hase following her. He decided to give Angel the carrot before he left. He tossed the carrot to the rude bunny, who ate it with gusto silently thanking Chase as the door to the cottage closed. Fluttershy was about to walk to the front gate but Chase stopped her. "Yes?" she asked her boyfriend with curiosity. "Where do you usually meet Rarity," chase asked his hands glowing slightly, "At her boutique or at the spa?" "Oh I usually just meet her at the spa but sometimes I meet her before she leaves." she said and looked up at Chase. "Why do you ask?" "Because Rarity hasn't left her boutique yet so.." he lifts his hands, which glowed their usual emerald glow causing Fluttershy to 'ooh'. "I-"if you'd like sweetie." she said and hugged chase. He smiled and teleported them outside of Rarity's Boutique just as she exited it, jumping as the couple appeared before her. "Oh by Celestia you two scared me." She said as she had a hoof to her chest. Chase chuckled. "Sorry Rarity." he said. "It's alright Chase." she said before realizing something. "Did Fluttershy ask you to come today?" "Eeyup." Chase said in a perfect Big Mac voice causing both mares to giggle. "Had nothin better to." Rarity giggled and the trio went to the spa. Chase had only been to the Ponyville spa once and had thoroughly enjoyed it when he did. He had always wanted an excuse to go back there and thank Celestia he had his reason today. They arrived at the spa and were immediately greeted by the two mares that worked there, Aloe and Lotus. Rarity asked for the usual for her and Fluttershy. "And you sir?" Lotus asked Chase. "Guess I'll take the same treatment as my friend and marefriend." Chase said shrugging. Chase felt himself be dragged by Rarity to the first of their treatment. He was forced to sit and his shoes were removed. He looked at the mare confused until he felt his toenails being filed by the light pink mare. He looked over and saw the same being done to Rarity and Fluttershy. "Next time I'm just gonna ask for a massage or somethin." Chase said and chuckled actually enjoying the treatment. "Well then Chase I guess your not enjoying yourself then?" Rarity said with a grin. "Oh no I am," the human said with an equal grin. "In fact so far it's better than the first time I came here. But oh my god this is still heavenly." He received a giggle from Aloe as she moved to his other foot causing him to sigh in delight. "So how's life being Fluttershy's special somepony Mr. Welcher?" Rarity asked as they were moved to three massage tables. "Oh well it's great," He said as he lay on his stomach on the table, Aloe stepping to his left. "I love her cottage and the animals she takes care of, Angel's a pain in the ass though. She's also becoming a little less shy with me around, isn't that right Flutters?" "Oh yes and I'm liking it," she said as she had her back massaged. "It's a little like with Iron Will's seminar minus the being a bully effect." "Oh don't remind me of that jackass." Chase said as Aloe kneaded her hooves into his back, feeling the tension he had. "I swear if I ever see him again I am going to make him regret making you into that. Almost did when he tried to collect the money from you." "You don't have to do that sweetie." Fluttershy said. "Yeah he's long gone from out lives and won't be bothering Fluttershy again." Rarity said and sighed in delight at her massage. "I guess your right." Chase said and started to relax. But I swear to both Celestia and Luna that if I ever see that Minotaur again I will tear him a new one. The rest of the Spa day was one of relaxation for Chase, the stress of the day slowly ebbing away as Aloe worked on him. By the end of their treatment Chase was in Nirvana. After the three of them equally paid for the treatment they exited the spa, a sigh escaping Chase. "I have to say that was better than the last time I was there." Chase said with a smile. "Aloe really knows how to make someone relaxed." "Well I'm glad you enjoyed yourself sweetie." Fluttershy said and hovered in front of him, giving him a kiss. He returned the kiss and wrapped his arms around the yellow mare, his timid pegasus. She nuzzled his cheek and looked into his eyes, her cyan eyes staring into his green eyes. Chase suddenly felt something off around them and swept the area with his eyes. Why am I getting the feeling I'm being watched? he thought recieving a look of worry from his special mare. "Are you ok Chase?" she asked, looking around. "Is something wrong?" "Oh no Fluttershy just a feeling of being watched is all." he said with a smile. He set Fluttershy down and opened a portal home. Fluttershy looked confused. "It's ok Fluttershy I just need to go home to check on something real quick and then I'll be right back." he said and was about to walk through it but was stopped by Fluttershy. "Let me come with you." she said sternly and looked at Chase. "I want to help you with this so please let me sweetie." He was about to argue but shut his mouth and smiled. Now this was a Fluttershy he loved. "Alright Sweetheart come on." he says and steps to the side letting Fluttershy go through first and stepping through after her. Fluttershy stood and stared in awe at the castle that had once belonged to the evil Nightmare Moon. Chase had kept the structure of the castle but had added his own flare to it. He smiled and guided Fluttershy through it, scanning the area for any sign of intruders or anymore Changelings. After fifteen minutes or so of doing this he felt satisfied with there being no Changelings or intruders in his home. "Guess it was just a bit of paranoia." He said chuckling nervously. Fluttershy smiled at him and saw a magnificent garden outside of the window. Her eyes grew into the size of dinner plates and she smiled like Pinkie on the day they met. Chase chuckled and lead Fluttershy out to the garden. While the two love birds were out in the garden another portal opened in front of the castle. A black hoof stepped through the portal followed by another until Chrysalis stood in the light of a new world, a world filled with love that could feed her subjects for quite some time. With an inhale of the air she smiled. She turned to the changelings on the otherside of the portal and nodded, silently giving them the order they've been waiting for. With a chorus of hisses the changelings flew threw the portal and across the skies, seeking out the only sources of love in this world, Humans. Chrysalis sneered and slowly walked down the stairs. "This day is going to be perfect." she said and cackled. To be continued....
