just go on and buck more trees
You've been bucking trees for the last four hours. You feel like you are gonna drop like a bug (Ha, get it since he’s a bug...oh never mind) at any second. Your back hooves feel like they've been put into lava after they were broken by a falling rock. You really just want to sit down and take a break, but your determination to help Applejack stops you. I made a vow to princess Luna to help anyling in need, even if I have to push my limits to the point of exhaustion.You think to yourself with determination. You’re about to walk over to the next tree when you realized you couldn't move. You look at your back hooves to see that they have gone completely limp. You sigh in defeat and say, "I guess that's the universe's sign that I should take a break."
You decide that you should relax under the last apple tree you bucked, since you are already under it and you can't move away from it even if you wanted to. It's nice and shady under the tree, so it wasn't all bad. The only bad thing was the fact that there was nothing to do. You could never sit still unless you were reading a really good book. You begin to wonder on what you should do when you decide to do one of the very few freedoms you had back at the hive. Which is to…
Start thinking aloud about your situation, how things are going, and life in general.
You talk to yourself. It was one of the very few things you could do at the hive. It also help calm you down when you’re either really stressed or nervous, which usually was all the time. It helped you think things though and it was always a good way to spend time.
"I can't believe so much has happened lately. I mean first my kind stupidly tried to take over Equestria. The idea itself was stupid, and that's coming from the changeling who was too stupid to learn how to stinking fly. What was my ex-queen thinking, I mean she never told us that the bride was a stinking ALICORN! How dumb do you have to be to try and take on a alicorn!"
Meanwhile In A Statue In The Castle Gardens
Discord could feel the chaos oozing around him. It has been a week since he was able to regain conciseness from within his stony prison that two troublesome alicorns put him in. Since then he could feel the chaos around begin to grow more and more each day. Soon he will be able to see though his stone prison. "Soon, I'll be free to cause chaos all over Equstria once more, I can't wait to see Sunbutt's face when she sees me again. Ooooooohhhh It's gonna be priceless, only one bit." Discord begins to laugh at his "joke" when he suddenly sneezes, "AAAAACCHHOOO!""Huh, somepony must be talking about me, goody I'll be sure to visit them first when I get out, cause they must be some fun if they know about little old me....MWAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Discord then continues to laugh,
Back With The Changeling (You)
*shiver* "Huh...what was that?" You were still talking to yourself, the 'discussion' now being about how strange it is that Pinkie could chase you like Peppy Le Pew, when you got a shiver down your spin. "Why do I suddenly feel like I just made myself a target and that the pony who is after me is someling I don't want to mess with?" you ask to yourself in confusion. You are about to continue your "discussion" with yourself when you think of something.
you start talking to yourself about cutie marks. Specifically, why can't changelings get cutie marks?
"Why do ponies get cutie marks and changelings don't? I mean sure we can make up one and pretend that that's our talent, I mean maybe it's just that...*sigh* who am I kidding, of course changelings get cutie marks," you say to yourself in sadness. "I mean sure they’re not as big or colorful as the ones the ponies get, but we still get them. They replace the grey dot we have on our backs, and everyling usually gets their when they absorb their first amount of love from a pony. But...I never got mine when I did it. I didn't want to do it in the first place either. But, ever since then, the hive would always call me the 'Loveless Bug'." You start to cry after that. You would have continued to cry too, if you didn't hear this…
"You poor thing."
You look around in shock, but you don't see anyling around you. You get up, realizing that your back hooves are working again, and begin to look around for whatever gave you pity. You hear a gasp coming from the bush be hide you, so you turn around and walk over to the bush, you look into the bush and are surprised to see this
You have no idea as to what you should do, and you’re pretty sure that those big eyes are trying to hypnotize you. You try to say something to the little filly but the only words that come out are…
"You didn't see me crying over there did you?”

Smooth bug, real smooth.
What do you do?
