One day, long ago in an alternate universe, a baby Changeling hatched out an egg at the Changeling Hive Nursery. She was a Changeling princess, who her parents, Queen Pupa and King Spiderweb, had named Chrysalis. Princess Chrysalis was to be the heir to the Changeling throne if Queen Pupa were to die.
Time went on and now Princess Chrysalis was a young Changeling.
"Now, dearest, it's time for your training if you're gonna be Queen someday," said her mother.
"But mother, what if I don't want to be Queen?" Chrysalis asked, "What if I want to live my own life elsewhere where I'm free from this musty old hellhole?"
"ENOUGH, CHRYSALIS! I AM YOUR MOTHER AND THE RIGHTFUL QUEEN OF THE CHANGELINGS!" Queen Pupa roared, "When I die one day, which I will because Changelings are nowhere near immortal beings, you must be ready to take over in my place. Now, Chrysalis, if you are to be a great queen someday, you must be able to master basic transformations. And above all else, you must start consuming love from those damn ponies which you revoltingly resemble."
Princess Chrysalis's face turns rage red. She doesn't understand how any creature could be so vile and coldhearted.
"Changelings have a hole in their chests, so why the hell are you always acting like you have a heart!" Chrysalis's mother shouted, "Go practise your transformations, and that's an order!"
Chrysalis, still pissed to the maximum and ready to explode, yelled, "Why must I impersonate somepony I'm not? Queen or not, Changeling or not, it doesn't make it right!"
Queen Pupa's eyes lit up like fire, ready to burn her daughter if only she could.
"I AM YOUR MOTHER AND THE QUEEN, SO YOU WILL OBEY!" Queen Pupa roared.
Princess Chrysalis had tears in her eyes, but blinked them back.
What Kind of Queen is That? Lyrics
Chrysalis: This and that
Do this, do that
All in your evil best interest
But I'm not all like that
Queen Pupa (spoken): CHANGELINGS DON'T SING!
Chrysalis: Queens must act in their best interest
Of the people
And what you do is the opposite of that
You say that there may be a day
And that we need to survive
Well, on vegetarian I thrive!
I will never go down that path
The path that makes everypony question
What kinda queen is that?
Queen Pupa (spoken): YOU LEAVE ME NO CHOICE!
(sung): If it pleases you
You do what you do
You can live in a penthouse
Far away from here
With those ponies you seem to adore!
At your core
You know nothing but that friendship crap
Be careful, Chrysalis, you're making me snap!
If you want to be like this
Ignore what I say
Then you'll see that day
Those ponies are not your friends
You live for yourself
You're not telling me
What a queen is
Chrysalis: It's more than just a rise to power!
Queen Pupa: It's making all bow down and cower!
Chrysalis: It's about maintaining a happy, successful kingdom without force
I mean, who wants a queen like you?
What will become of my subjects if I do?
Well, what kind of queen is that?
You tell me
Queen Pupa (spoken): Give me a break! My daughter, you're so damn demented!
Chrysalis (spoken): Ouch, Mom. Demented? Wow. I'm just being me.
Queen Pupa: Your view's messed up
Chrysalis: I don't give a shit
What you say
If I am to be queen someday
So be it
I'm gonna rule my kingdom
As it should be
Prosperous and kind
Just like me!
Queen Pupa: I can't believe the Changeling race
Needs such a basket case
You think you can be queen?
You in your naive state?
Chrysalis (spoken): Yeah, why?
Queen Pupa: A Changeling Queen
Must stay pure and clean
A Changeling Queen
Must enact evil
For she has no heart
She must consume love
Oh, you poor little dove!
Naive, naive little dove
How do you know the path
That you must go?
You don't get to choose
I mean, dear Chrissy
What kind of queen is that?
(spoken): GO TO YOUR ROOM!
Chrysalis (spoken): I don't have to listen to you! I'll go there whenever I want!
Queen Pupa: Can't be hasty now
Do what you want now
I can't control you, I've tried
But one day you'll realise
My words are indeed wise
My words long enough you've denied
But all I can say is
That I've tried
Chrysalis: What kind of queen are you?
