Twlight was out with her dragon companion buying more supplies for her library. Chirp and I had stayed in the room where her sleeping brother was currently bedridden. I sat next to the bed watching Chirp walk around exploring the little room we were staying in. In my head I laid out my plans of revenge; at first I thought I should suck out all the love in Ponyville and take everything by force. Then I thought of mind controlling Twilight or one of her friends and use one of them as my personal love slave; the love between her friends and her was so strong it would be like a ten full course meal for a changeling like me. Until any of my plans could work, I would need to store up enough love for myself and a little after to even start stage one of any of my plans. It would probably only take about a week for my power to reach its full potential. Another grin appeared on my face as I began to think my master plan was fool proof.
“Muwahahaha!” I laughed, raising my hooves in the air.
“Muwahahahahahahaha!” My laughing stopped as I realized someone else was laughing with me. I looked down to see a pink pony with bright pink curly hair laughing as I was. Her hooves were raised in the air as well, her eyes were closed.
“Oh boy, what are we laughing about?” She asked, looking at me with a smile. I didn’t say a word, surprised at her sudden appearance before me. “Hey do I know you somewhere?” She asked, tilting her head and examining me carefully; I was about to say something but before I could she had already blurted out her own answer. “Well duh of course I don’t, silly me.” I released a great gulp of air that I was unaware I had been holding. “You’re new here aren’t you?! Yippee I get to make another party!” She jumped up and down with excitement.
"Wait a party.... oh no wait!" My mind quickly concluded, but before I could say something to her she jumped in a small crack in the floor and vanished. All that was left was a small note on the floor which said:
“Dear To whoever is reading this; you are now invited to come the “welcome to Ponyville newest bestest cool friend" party later today at the library.'
Hearing the door bell ring I turned my head away from the note to see Twilight entering the library. I raced towards her eyes glaring and teeth grinding.
"Is this some kind of trick?!" I yelled. She gave me a confused look.
"What are you..?"
"So this was your plan huh? To catch me unawares when I wasn't looking with some crazed pink mare who can somehow disappear through solid objects and then make some so called welcome party for me to then trick me so you can capture me and send me to your princess, huh?!" She only looked back at me with the weirdest face.
"Again what are you....wait pink mare?" She placed a hoof on her head. "Oh you mean Pinkie Pie."
"You know this strange mare?"
"Yes she is one of my best friends and she always throws a party for anyone she doesn't know." She replied. "I remember when I first came here and she was the very first pony I ever met, she's strange at first but you get used to her." She frowned at me grumpily. "And I already told you I won't turn you or the others in to the guard, why would you think otherwise?" I looked down, not being able to think of any real answer to her questions.
"I... I..." I turned my head away to avoid answering. With a sigh she walked past me.
"What time did she say is the party at; because there's no stopping a pinkie party once it's been announced."
"It just says later today." I replied, reading the paper once again.
"Hmm… I have an idea, but first I need to find Pinkie Pie. Don’t go anywhere." With that she rushed outside, heading to find the strange Pink mare.
2 hours later
"Explain to me again why we are still having this welcome party for me?" I asked as I hung streamers from the ceiling. Chirp was playing around with the collection of supplies, amazed by the different colors.
"Don't worry I have it all under control." Twilight replied before a knock on the door announced a visitor. "Oh they must be here; you go to the other room and wait while I let them in." She headed for the door. I collected Chirp and head back through to the room where her brother slept on. I placed Chirp on the ground and rested my head against the door trying to hear what was happening on the other side. I heard five different sets of footsteps.
"Hi girls, how are you?"
"Hey there sugar cube," replied a mare with a thick country accent, "I've been waitin’ all day for this here party."
"Yeah same here," announced a second voice enthusiastically. "So who is this new pony anyway?"
"Well you see that's the thing; there was nobody here, it was me performing a disguising spell." I heard Twilight say with a small, weak laugh.
"What, are you sure I'm sure? I’m pretty sure I saw someone else here..." This voice sounded like that pink pony from earlier.
"Well Pinkie darling you could have just been just too excited and when you found Twilight she was still in disguise." This pony sound like somepony I copied in Trottingham...
"Well I guess you’re right; I just... uh oh." What did she mean by uh oh I thought. "My tale is a-twitch a-twitchin!" All of the sudden everyone in the room made a gasp.
"What in Equestria's name is wrong with these ponies?" I said to myself. I turned my head to see Chirp climbing one of the book shelves. The bookshelf was about to fall over on her; my eyes grew wide and my wings started to buzz as I ran to save her.
"It’s coming from over there, behind that door." I heard her say behind the door. I had to move fast, and I quickly ran over to the bookshelf, trying to reach for Chirp before it fell. As I heard the door open and turn I was just able to grab Chirp and pull her away from the falling bookshelf. Chirp was safe, but we were about to be exposed. I stared at the door in terror as it opened half way.
THUMP!
"Ow!" The sudden exclamation caused the door to stop half way open. "Darn book fell on ma head."
"Huh my tail stopped twitching; it must've been the book." The door started to close.
"Well since there is no one new to celebrate for and since we're all here… let's party!" The Pink mare’s voice yelled. As music start to play and hooves started to stomp around; the door started to open again I turned my head to see Twilight entering the room, closing the door behind her.
"Phew that was a close one." She mumbled. "Wait, why is one of my bookshelves on the floor..?" I stared at the fallen furniture, then down at Chirp before returning my worried gaze to her. She sighed. "Ah I see."
"And how long do you intend to keep these ponies here?" I asked, staring at the door.
"Not long, don't worry; we're just going to talk and then they'll be off." She said. I didn't Say anything to her, taking a moment to place Chirp on the ground before turning back to Twilight, not realizing that Chirp was heading towards the door. "Do you want me to get you something? Pinkie's cup cakes are delicious." I turned my head to floor and spat at the ground.
"As I said before, I the queen of the changelings would not each such trash like you ponies." I hissed, disgusted by the thought of eating even one of the sugar flooded pastries.
"Fine, but you don't know what you're missing out on." Twilight said before heading for the door to return to her friends. "Hey… didn't I close this..?"
"AHHH!" We both turned our heads to where the scream came from, and I realized that Chirp was gone from my side.
"Oh no..." I bemoaned under my breath.
