A Letter to a Queen

Dearest Chrysalis,

I want to start off by thanking you for taking time out of your busy schedule to write to me. When I received your letter during Day Court, I had to suppress my squeal of delight. I know you probably are being drugged through mud thicker than I am, having to maintain communications between your hive and your space program, so seeing the side of you I knew so well gave me the extra motivation to bust through my itinerary.

Now, with the court closed, ribbons cut, and bills signed, I have the time to write this before I set the sun for the day.

As far as the contents you sent me, don't worry about the vase, it was one of many duplicate ones mother collected before her passing. The real one is being kept locked away in a special trunk in my closet, right next to Platinum's crown, Amore's private toy collection, and our enchanted horn rings.

Guess I will need to get the dust off those huh?

You have been on my mind all day my dear love bug, sending me on my own trip down memory lane for how close we used to be. Everything you said was true, like how I let you beat me at the wedding. Yes, I felt bad that my little ponies had to see me vulnerable, but at the same time it was a humble reminder that I am not some all-powerful goddess. I do have a life span, one I intend to fulfill as much as I can.

You surpassed my expectations Chryssy, and it filled my heart with great joy accomplishing what I wanted you to do so long ago: make peace with ponies and work alongside them as an equal. Now look at you, you can walk anywhere in Equestria a free mare without any worries of being imprisoned (and if any guard or noble is dumb enough to try, give me their name and I will deal with them personally…)

In a way, you can say that you are more of a pony than you realize. You never have to admit it to anyone but me, but you enjoy being able to cooperate with ponies respecting your position, while also getting things done on time.

So yes, my dear, you passed my test with the flying colors of a double rainboom.

Now that I think about it, I guess I am a bit more changeling than I realized. I have been the one pouring in the bits for Ad Astra to give out by using Sunshine Melody as a cover, much like how I know you use Cool Drink (can't deny it, I look at all tax records you silly mare). Not to mention, I let one of my guards be discharged to stay at your hive under your care, and now he works for you like you have one of your drones gorging on the love I have for my ponies.

You may need to rotate her out, because she is starting to suffer love hangovers and it is effecting her job performance.

It will take time for OUR ponies and changelings to accept us as a couple, let alone show ourselves in public without causing multiple dirt sheets and uncomfortable questions, but if we want to be together you are going to have to get off that high throne of yours and be honest.

If you love me, when that bridge is crossed, confess your love…

… And I will be there by you, hoof in hoof, doing the same thing.

If you want to meet up with me, the day after tomorrow is my normal day of relaxation. Sunshine and Cool Drink can meet up in Horseton Bay for a business cruise around the shore. Also, I know you are probably drunk now, because I infused this ink with the love I had to keep buried for all these years…

With Love,
Celly Boo
