Nothing suspicious going on here.
Just a group of bugs coming together to create a show for everyone to watch.
...
Twilight doesn't believe it for a second.

One minute you have a changeling enter your boutique,
and the next minute you're getting a lecture of how offensive it is to think changelings are bugs.

Maybe Rarity should've thought twice before hitting a changeling with a flyswatter.

~Another fanfic I now regret writing...way to go Atlas~

This story is a sequel to The Royal Sisters' GIANT Break

A changeling with amnesia finds himself in the midst of an uncertain world. With only a few ponies to accompany him, he must find a way to get to safety, all the while retracing the flickers of his troubled past.

Beyond Earth and beyond the Universe within which Earth exists there is a place full of love; the richest mine of love that can be found, as it is seen by those capable of utilizing it...

Within that place, specifically a part of it called the Everfree Forest, awakes one such creature: a Changeling; specifically, a Changeling who had been a human on Earth the day before. How will he survive in a body that literally needs love for nourishment, while in a world that is now wise to the Changelings' tricks and has branded them evil? Better question: Will he be able to change more than his physical appearance?

These questions are not the only thing that will plague him, for the hows and whys of his arrival and transformation are in a hurry to reveal themselves, and Equestria's heart will stop as it waits for its fate to be decided.

Now with a side story (with more to come) from other characters' POV!
POV: MANE SIX

Queen Chrysalis has trusted her son, Prince Pronotum, with a very important mission to Ponyville. He is to infiltrate the town, find a way to remove the Elements of Harmony from the picture, and prepare for a second invasion. He's determined to make her proud. Unfortunately for Chrysalis, her son isn't very bright, and, as a result, he took a few months too long to get to Ponyville.

UPDATE: Glorious cover art by GIULIO.

Sometimes, in the grand scheme of the world, it becomes necesary to act as an agent of conservation. Conservation of what?

Lots of things.

This time, though, it’s changelings. Ponies are less than pleased at this.
