Not Everything Is What It Looks Like

1 Flashback

A Changeling egg was hatching, and out of it came a purple-colored female Changeling with dark blue mane with bright pink and lilac stripes, had holes in the mane. The purple female changeling squeaked. Suddenly, the female Changeling felt being held by a green magic. The Changeling realized that the one holding her was a tall Changeling with a crown. The female Changeling pupp smiled.

 Mother!

 “You’re different from my other subjects, little one. My other Changelings aren’t purple in color and have no mane like me”,said the Changeling Queen curiously.

 The female changeling looked insecure. Did your mother not like her?

 “You have my interest, daughter,” said Queen Changeling with a smile. “But what will be your name?”

 Queen Changeling noted that the color of the female Changeling reminded her of the color of the sky when it was night, the same was true of the color of the mane, “I name you Twilight Sparkle. Because of reminding me of dusk and because shine because you’re special”

 Queen Changeling had the idea to show Twilight the hive and that’s what she was going to do. She left the place where the Changelings were being born. Meanwhile, more Changelings pups were born in the background. There was a Changeling who was born smiling, but seeing other Changelings squeak, the pup Changeling was startled and looked like he wanted to hide back inside the egg.

 


 It’s been a few years, and Twilight Sparkle has become Chrysalis’s favorite daughter. Because Twilight is the closest Changeling to Chrysalis. The other Changelings, luckily, weren’t bothered by it and accepted it. Because they knew Chrysalis took care of them all.

 Chrysalis looked out a window and saw that there was no pony nearby. Great. Because it was Changeling territory. But she would like to know what’s going on in Canterlot, “guards!”

 Two Changelings guards went to Chrysalis and bowed, “Yes, my queen?” asked the two Changelings guards in unison.

 “Ask Twilight to come to the throne room”, replied Chrysalis.

 “Yes, my queen”, said the two Changelings guards in unison. They left the throne room and went to where all the Changelings were.

Meanwhile, Twilight was talking to a Changelings until two guards came to her, “Twilight”

 Twilight was confused, “what’s going on?”

 “Queen Chrysalis wishes to speak with you”, said the first Changeling royal guard.

 Twilight said “oh” before going to where her mother would be.

 


 Chrysalis waited for Twilight until she heard footsteps. She looked into a hole and saw Twilight running, “I came here as soon as I heard you wanted to talk to me, Mom”

 Chrysalis smiled, “Twilight, good of you to come. We need to talk”, said Chrysalis.

 Twilight Sparkle tensed, “Are you banishing me from the hive?”

 Chrysalis was surprised, “what? No, daughter. That’s not it”

 Twilight was more relieved to hear this, “so what is it, mom?”

 “Are you good at lying?” asked Chrysalis.

 “Just for ponies”, answered Twilight Sparkle.

 “Are you good at acting? Pretending to be somepony else?” asked Chrysalis.

 Twilight Sparkle smiled at this, “I’m good at this”

 Chrysalis smiled with relief, “great”

 Twilight looked a little unsure, “not wanting to hurry you or anything, but why did you call me to come here?”

 “It’s just that I’d like you to do me a favor”, replied Chrysalis.

 Twilight was a little relieved to know, “and what’s this favor?”

 “I wish you could go to Canterlot, pretend to be a unicorn and spy on Celestia”, replied Chrysalis.

 Twilight smiled at that “just like a spy? I will love to do that. But when will I return to the hive?”

 “When you find out something about Celestia and an event that will take place in Canterlot. Then me and the other Changelings will be able to invade Canterlot, and with you by my side, of course”, replied Chrysalis with a smile. Twilight smiled back.

 “Come on, I’ll show you the hive exit”, said Chrysalis, before starting to walk. Twilight followed her
