Story
Shining rushes into Canterlot, his eyes wide with panic. "Everypony, listen up! I have just been informed that there are Changelings among us!” You hear murmurs around you.
Ponies distance themselves from their friends. Caramel whispers, "I'm guessing they're the bad Changelings…"
You nod in agreement as Shining Armor continues, "I'm going to put up a barrier so no more will be able to come in." His horn glows, "I know it's scary, but know that as long as I am here, you are all safe. No pony can go in or out of town with this barrier. We will work together to figure out who the Changelings are!"
Everypony goes to bed. The very next morning, it's found that Shining Armor has gone missing! The guards scramble to decide who they need to protect to keep the citizens safe! The mage readies to try to figure out if a pony they scry each night is a Changeling. The Lunarians stick together as a pact. Flash Sentry pipes up, "We can't wait for the Changelings to pick us off one by one. We need to decide among one another who the Changelings are! We will send whichever pony you decide to the fungeon."
Voices erupt with uncertainty, looking at one another. Caramel watches beside you. "What? Are we supposed to just-" She starts.
"I think the Changeling is Berry Punch! She's been too quiet!" Amethyst Star points.
"Only a Changeling would point out a random pony for something so ridiculous!" Berry shouts back.
And so it goes. Every night, a pony is taken away. During the day, the townsponies vote another pony to go to the fungeon in hopes to find the last of the Changelings.The sage finds if the pony that was last was a Changeling or not.
Eventually, the only three left in the town are you, Flash Sentry, and Caramel. You know you're not the Changeling so you ask. "Okay. Tell me why I should believe you aren't the Changeling?"
Flash starts first, "I know I'm not the most well liked guard, but I do my job. I protected you more than once during this nightmare. Please, Caramel is just using you! I'm the real me!"
"Caramel?" You nod in her direction.
"I don't want to be the type of pony to point hooves, but Flash doesn't even live in Ponyville! Isn't it weird that he just happened to show up when Shining disappeared?" Caramel began.
"I'm part of his guard!" Flash defends.
"It is my turn, thank you!" Caramel glares before breathing, "Please. You know me! You know I'm not a Changeling. I belong here with you, not him. Now, can we please finish this up? I am so tired of this adventure. I can't wait to just go home and relax."

[ENDING A: VILLAIN]
"I think the Changeling is Flash Sentry!" You decide.
"No! No!" Flash cries, "I'm me! Don't do this!" You and Caramel nod to each other and hold Flash together. You push against him as he tries to fight back, using his magic to try to throw you away from him. He runs off. You and Caramel run after. He darts through between buildings. Caramel disappears. You continue running after the trained stallion with all your might, but you find yourself losing ground.
Suddenly, you see Caramel on the other side. Flash is just as surprised as you are as he attempts to stop, only to fall into Caramel. You grab onto Flash, and both you and Caramel push Flash into the fungeon together.
"Glad we don't have to worry about the Changelings anymore." You sigh contentedly, "Come on, Caramel. Let's go look for more pages."
Caramel laughs menacingly. "Oh, you won't be looking for pages for a while!" Caramel's pink coat darkens with green energy into black. Her braids fade into a black frill. Her blue eyes change to blue with no pupils. Her horn disappears and two translucent wings unfurl from her back. A grin spreads across their fancy mouth. She grabs you. You fight with all your strength as she drags you away. The Changeling throws you into the fungeon with the rest of the town. Flash sighs, "I tried to tell you!" He shrugs as the Changeling turns back to Caramel, waiting for a unicorn to come help take down the barrier.

[ENDING B: HERO]
"Caramel is the Changeling!" You decide.
"What?! No! No!!!" Caramel screams, "You're making a big mistake!" Flash drags her to the fungeon.
"Glad we don't have to worry about the Changelings anymore." You sigh contentedly.
"You and me both!" Flash sighs back, "Now we wait for the princesses to come for the Changelings. One question.. how did you know it was Caramel?"
"Caramel would never be tired of adventure!" You smile.
