"So what, I ate too much chocolate? Why would that even matter?" Lyra asked with an irritated tone.
Bon Bon frowned, "Becaaause, you left me to do all the chores around the house while you were in a sugar coma!"
"Oh, so what, I suppose you were sleeping on the floor with chocolate lining your mouth and wrappers everywhere on accident? Do you really think I'm stupid? May I remind you who has the Bachelor's degree here?" Lyra argued.
"Hey, I know I saw a price tag on that thing!"
"Yes, because there is store that sells fake degrees. Might as well sell awesome job descriptions too! Or maybe IDs!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Quit with your smart-flank attitude, it's getting on my nerves."
"Your mom's getting on my nerves." Lyra stuck her tongue out.
"Yeah, REEEEAL mature, Lyra. Real mature." Bon Bon rolled her eyes.
Lyra grinned and got her friend in a headlock.
"You know, you're cute when you're angry." she chuckled.
Upon hearing that, Bon Bon yelped and squirmed away from her friend very quickly.
"Are you turning gay on me, Lyra!?"
Lyra laughed, "Coming from the pony who has posters of mares in her room? That's rich!"
Bon Bon blushed, "It's not for the mares! It's for the clothes! The clothes, Lyra!"
"Mhmm. Yeah, keep lying to yourself, Bon Bon. And while you think about that, I'll be out, doing other stuff."
With that, Lyra left the building, leaving Bon Bon to process what just happened.
Lyra just HAD to figure out this mystery, she just had to! She didn't know how, but she would, because she couldn't get the stupid unsolved case out of her mind!
Then, before she could delve deeper into her mind, a lavender-colored object whizzed past her.
"Uh-hey! Watch it!" Lyra yelled, waving her hoof in the air.
The unicorn didn't stop or turn around, but simply sped up, running away from-
"Parity?" Lyra tilted her head.
She noticed the white unicorn had a worried look on her face, then it had immediately formed into a devilish grin, and she ran away.
"I think I found a cluuuuuue!" Lyra hummed, taking a detective-looking hat out and placing it on her head.
Then she ran off towards the magical marshmallow, unaware of the pink party pony running after her.
"HEEEEY! THAT'S MY HAAAAT!" she yelled.
Lyra followed Rarity through the town, to the Everfree Forest and eventually to a large tree. Unaware that she was being followed, Rarity transformed into a large, black alicorn, as known as-
"The Changeling Queen!" Pinkie gasped, running away.
Lyra looked back at the pony before seeing thousands of eyes on her.
Lyra's jaw dropped.
"OH FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"
++++++
"Twilight, why are you mad at me?! What did I do?!"
Twilight simply shook her head in anger. Then, as soon as she was going to speak-
"TWILIGHT!!!! THE CHANGELING QUEEN IS BACK!" Pinkie yelled, bursting through the door.
"What? Pinkie? What do you-"
"HOLY CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!" Lyra yelled, running away from a horde of Changelings. "SOME PONY HEEEEELP ME!!!!"
Twilight burst through the door and levitated Lyra to her house, closing the door and locking it immediately.
Screams were heard outside.
"Spike! You're in charge until I get back! I'm going to get some help! Stay safe!" Twilight ran outside.
Spike held a dumbfounded look on his face. He looked back at the two weeping ponies behind him.
"What DID I do?"
++++++
"APPLEJAAACK!" Twilight yelled, seeing the farm pony already defending her barn.
She turned to see her friend, then got kicked in the face, causing her to continue fighting. Twilight dug her hooves in the ground and snarled, using her magic to help her friend.
++++++
Princess Celestia,
We need your help! Ponyville is being attacked by Changelings!
-Spike
Spike huffed hurriedly and sent the rushed letter, looking back at the two mares blocking the door.
"I sent the letter!" he yelled.
"GOOD!" Lyra replied with a strained tone. "Pinkie! I need more furniture!"
Pinkie quit hyperventilating and began placing furniture by the door.
"WHERE IS PRINCESS CELESTIA?!" Pinkie yelled.
++++++
The two mares breathed heavily as they stood by the fallen Changelings.
"Applejack-we need, to find the others and get-" Twilight huffed, " the Elements of Harmony!"
Applejack nodded, "Ah'll go get them. Ya stay here and protect Mah family!"
Twilight nodded and ran into the home, while Applejack began running into Ponyville.
++++++
*POOF*
A scroll fell before Princess Celestia as she was walking. She picked it up with curiosity, because she knew Twilight already sent a Friendship Report. Her curiosity soon grew into anxiety as she already began running over to the Elements of Harmony. Upon arriving, she saw the Changeling Queen guarding them.
"Chrysalis! I thought Shining Armor got rid of you!"
Queen Chrysalis grinned, "Well you thought wrong, Celestia."
"That's PRINCESS Celestia to you!" she snarled.
"Oh, when I'm done with you, you won't be a princess anymore."
"Oh? And how do you propose to do that?"
"Well you see, after my, 'setback' during the wedding, I discovered a more powerful energy source than love." she chuckled. "Confusion. And no one knows of the power it yields because of how little there is of it. But after some foolish fillies began a rumor, I noticed large amounts of it sweeping through that pitiful town, and I began to pitch in, spreading some undercover here and there. And now, after months of waiting, I am here to reap my reward.-"
"Not so fast. Because now you foolishly revealed your plans once again, and now," (Princess Luna, Shining Armor AND Princess Cadence entered the room, horns glowing.) "I have backup."
Queen Chrysalis laughed again.
"Newsflash," (A large being made of multiple animals appeared with a maniacal grin.) "So do I."
"Discord! You were defeated by the Elements!"
"Actually, I wasn't. It was simply a Changeling that Queen Chrysalis here generously offered to me."
Princess Celestia growled, lowering herself in a menacing stance that showed she was ready to attack at any moment. Everyone else followed, aside from Discord, who readied himself in a stance similar to a runner.
"So." he snarled, "Looks like we got ourselves a little standoff."
The End. (Sorry for the cliffhanger!)
