//------------------------------// // This is embarrassing, Lulu! // Story: Little loony Luna and crazy caffeinated Celestia's life in Canterlot // by Vidhwansak //------------------------------// This is embarrassing, Lulu! Where is Cadence? I haven't seen her around all day. With puzzlement, Luna was wandering around a section of the castle that was reserved entirely for guests, trying to find where Cadence was residing. She had wanted to talk with the pink alicorn, wanting to tell her of a new, mandatory meeting she had to go to, though she couldn't find her anywhere. That might change soon, though, as she was fast-approaching the last guest room, and she knew that with any luck (though right now she hardly considered herself 'lucky') gained out of searching through roughly five-hundred and twenty rooms, Cadence would be in the last one. She was about to open the door when she heard a loud thump, followed by the giggling of two ponies; curious, Luna opened the door to witness Cadence on top of Chrysalis. Luna was beginning to think she stumbled onto something she probably shouldn't have when Chrysalis looked up at her, and stopped her laughter, suddenly blushing. "A-Ah...Ah...This is embarrassing, Lulu! Please don't tell Tia! Lock the door too, please!" Cadence wrapped her hooves around Chrysalis' neck, laughing as she squeezed the poor changeling underneath her. "Oh, don't be silly, Chrys, this is nothing to get embarrassed over! It's just a little cuddle-wuddle-snuggle with a friend!" I'm not particularly sure what's going on, but the way Cadence is talking makes me want to throw up, repeatedly. Luna stepped inside the room, closed the door, then locked it, for Chrysalis' benefit. "Err. Do I even want to know why you two are on the floor, cuddling with each other?" Quickly, Chrysalis answered, short and to the point. "No!" On the other hoof, Cadence giggled, and winked at Luna. "Don't worry, auntie, now this is the story all about how Chrysalis got all snuggled up, it'll take just a minute so just sit right there and I'll tell you all about that blush on her face!" ...Okay. Luna sat down in front of Cadence, who then began to recite what happened, much to Chrysalis' discomfort (as she was still underneath the pink alicorn). "Ugh. Tia is sleeping, and Lulu is busy trying to figure out if the moon is made of cheese. Why, I don't know, but she's gone, and it's just us two." Chrysalis groaned, as she sat down lazily in a chair across from Cadence, who was doing a little light reading by going through a picture book. "Why are you reading that, anyway? It's for little foals, and last time I checked, you're a fully-grown alicorn." Cadence looked up with a smile. "I read these because I want to make sure I like it! I learned that if I didn't like a picture book I was reading to a little foal that I'm taking care of, such as Twilight, I wouldn't have enjoyed story-time as much as I would have if I did pick a story that I like!" "...So you're saying that you pick stories that you like, thus unintentionally guiding the foal you're taking care of to those particular stories? So, if I were to read nothing but princess stories to a foal, would I be giving them false dreams of becoming a princess?" "Oh, pfft, you're looking waaaaaay too into this! Reality will hit sooner or later! Or never, when you look at Lulu. Cheese, on the moon, ha!" Cadence went back into her book, leaving Chrysalis bored again without a conversation partner or anything to do. Not wanting to die of boredom, Chrysalis got up off from the chair, and settled down next to Cadence. The action was barely registered by the pink alicorn, whose attention was still on the picture book, and the most she did in response was to flutter her wings slightly. Hmm...I wonder... Chrysalis took a moment to look at Cadence, who continued to read the picture book. Her ability to concentrate on the most mundane things impressed Chrysalis. Right now, Chrysalis was drawing a blank on what she could do to distract Cadence; after all, there was only so much she could do. Her gaze tilted up slightly, and noticed that Cadence's ears were twitching slightly, which gave her a slightly disturbing but practically sure-fire way of getting Cadence's attention. A few moments of thinking passed before Chrysalis decided that nothing could really go wrong, and so, she reached up with her muzzle to gently bite on Cadence's right ear. The results were near instantantous as Cadence suddenly shuddered violently under the gentle bite, causing Chrysalis to stop biting, afraid that Cadence might try to floor her. Cadence turned her head around to look at Chrysalis with a look of bewilderment. "I never knew you were the snuggly type, Chrys!" What. I just wanted to bring your attention off from the book and find something to do with me! "I'm not, Caddy, I-" "Denial, huh?! Don't worry, as the princess of love, I can show you just how fun snuggling can be, especially with somepony you know!" Sensing that things were about to go horribly wrong for her, Chrysalis backed up away slowly from Cadence. "I-It's fine, Caddy! You don't have to show me!" Her words didn't dissuade Cadence's mind, and the pink alicorn pounced on top of Chrysalis and began tickling her, causing Chrysalis to giggle loudly, which Cadence soon joined in with, enjoying the forced snuggling. Nice one, Chrys. Luna couldn't help but snicker at Chrysalis, who glared at her. "Well...Snnrk...I just wanted to tell you, Caddy, that you have a meeting right after breakfast tomorrow, and it's mandatory, so please don't try to skip out." Cadence nodded slowly with a frown, not enjoying that particular bit of news. "Aw...That's a bummer. Is there anything else that you need to tell me?" "Other than that the meeting is about cake, no, that'll be all. Oh, and Chrys? Don't worry, I'll keep this...'Incident' away from Tia's ears. I'm sure that's satisfactory for you?" You have no idea, Lulu. Chrysalis gave the smallest of nods to Luna. "Very much so." Satisfied, Luna walked outside of the room, having told Cadence of a slight change in plans with the bonus of seeing Chrysalis so embarrassed. After Chrysalis locked the door after her with her magic, she sighed explosively. "I wish I knew that biting your right ear would make you all snuggly." "Oh, this is nothing! You should bite my left ea-" "NO."
