//------------------------------// // My History // Story: Slice of Life: Kevin's Story // by Twilight Star //------------------------------// I remember it very well that day. The same day Queen Chrysalis and the changelings went to Canterlot to attack the city. Chrysalis had disguised herself as Princess Cadence so that she could infiltrate while we, her subjects, were out trying to break the shield that surrounded all Canterlot. I was there, trying to break the shield along with the other changelings. After a day, we finally managed to break the shield and attack the ponies to suck their love. Unfortunately, as good as the queen’s plan was good and promising, we were all thrown out of town with the strength of Cadence and Shining Armor’s love back to where we came from: the hive. Or so it was for them ... but not for me. You see ... instead of me being thrown back into the hive like Queen Chrysalis and the others, I ended up stopping at Everfree Forest. Everfree Forest… The same forest where the wildest animals stay and feed, and also where no pony dares to enter, whether to go on an adventure or to spend time. As much as that forest was a good place for me to live, I started to get hungry, and I knew that I couldn’t stay in that place forever. So, I tried to find a way out. And After about three hours, I finally found my way out of that huge forest. Since that forest was far from Ponyville, I could see the small town from a distance. But I decided to disguise myself as a pony so that no one would see me. I had disguised myself as a white mare with a light blue mane. Lucky was that the pony I disguised was not around while I was inside the small town. The first pony I sucked at love was a purple gray and white mane stallion. But of course I didn’t suck in public, I asked him to ‘talk’ to him behind the house. But so that no one would be suspicious, I disguised myself and took the form of him ever since. And when I got hungry and sucked on the love of a pony, I took the shape of the pony. One day, I had left the city and as I was very far away, I decided to return to my normal form. To my surprise, I was not alone. There was a small house on the premises. I went to look in the window to see who lived there and I saw something I never saw: there were two donkeys living together. I could see something in them. They loved each other, and I say that more than as friends. To my surprise, I didn’t even have to suck their love to feed. It was as if love had automatically come to me, and I liked it. Perhaps, I could spend most of my time here. It was much better here, since there was no crowd of ponies that could see me in that shape. But one day, the dookey female felt she was being watched. She then looked at the window and saw me. I quickly left the window. I thought she would ignore it, but she left the house to see what it was. When we both crossed eyes, she was curious and wanted to know what I was. I replied that it was a changeling, and to my surprise, unlike many other ponies, she showed no fear of me. But she showed sympathy, she told me that her name was Matilda and she asked what my name was. I said it was Kevin. Only after that, she invited me to enter her house so that we could talk better. I was obviously unsure, because she didn’t live alone. I feared that the other Dookey would be angry when he saw me and wanted to kick me out of the house. And well, he was angry to see me since he knew what I was like. But Matilda told Cranky Doodle that I was not going to hurt them or suck they love. He believed her words, but he kept an eye on me to see if I wasn’t going to suck his or Matilda’s love. As the days passed, I realized one thing: I was no longer hungry. I didn’t expect this to happen since changelings usually feel hungry and want to suck their love. I started to think and analyze this, and I discovered that the reason for this is because I was sharing the love, but it was in the sense of caring for others. But that was not the only thing that happened. I also started to develop a true friendship with them, first it was with Matilda then it was with Cranky Doodle. Matilda was easier, since she was kind and sweet. Now with Cranky it was a little difficult, but after winning his friendship, I found out how much he cares for others. And i remember a day when Matilda went to buy food, but before she opened the door, she looked at me and asked if I didn’t want to go with her. I was nervous and worried, I feared that when the ponies saw me, they would either run away or attack me. I mean, I was a changeling, it was very normal for a pony to look like that when they saw a changeling. When we arrived in the city, the ponies were so afraid to see me that it resulted in them running away. Although I was saddened by the ponies running away from me, I was determined to show the ponies that I was no longer like the other changelings, and to prove it, I started going out with the two, whether to buy something like food, or just for a walk. And for my happiness, after a month, the ponies finally gained confidence in me. After a year or so now, Matilda and Cranky Doodle told me that they were getting married. I was happy with them. And since I was the closest to them, I was the first to receive an invitation to attend their wedding. After I read the invitation, I accepted to go to their wedding with the greatest happiness. When the preparations were all ready, the two informed me and I flew to the city hall, which was where their wedding would be. All the Ponyville ponies were there, even a purple dragon with green scales and the Royal Sisters were invited. They went in and sat down. As much as I wanted to sit in the front, everything was already busy, so I sat in the back. And now here I am; the ponies of ponyville trust me, i have two true friends that now they are going to marry and be together forever. But what nobody knows, not even Matilda and Cranky Doodle, is that as much as it seems that I’m here to see them get married, I’m here for the food.
