When the Queen was handed her kingdom she quickly learned that her subjects we're VERY greedy, and eager to eat anything they could.
In the end they tried feeding on almost every emotion they could. But Love was Always the Best. It was really a shame they couldn't eat actual food, this had always puzzled the new Queen. If her and her kingdom could just eat literal things they wouldn't have started asking questions like,
''Wheres the Food?'' and ''We need more, where can we find more?''.
She really wished she had some guards so that she could have an hour to herself.
But getting guards would have to wait, for the Queen couldn't take it anymore.
Her empty stomachs as bothering her also.
It kept on taunting and screaming at her everywhere she went.
''Wait! I have an idea'' she cried, telling them her plan.
But mostly convincing herself it would work, she was all alone when she ruled her kingdom. She was always in fear that she was doing something wrong.
''Canterlot is one of the of the biggest states in this hole we call Equestria'' she spat ''so i'll go in, check to see how much love they actually have and come back; if I bring a good report with my presence we can go in as small groups and slowly it away!''.
She had to chose herself to go because she trusted herself most to do a good job.
After all, she was the smartest. But just to be safe, the Changlings planned and thought out all the things that could go wrong. They figured if they're Queen got caught, they'd just break in and come after her.
''.....It's a Dumb way to do it, but it's effective'' Chrysalis said to herself a week before she had to go into Canterlot.
The day before it was time the Queen decided she was going to go in with only a pen, a couple of sheets of paper, a map of Canterlot, 11 bits and of course a disguise. She was only popping in and out, she would write her report and leave. She figured it would only take about 2 hours. For both those hours. She was going to write her report and leave.
She decided to clone herself of as a slender cream colored unicorn mare she had once seen. She had soft yet, elegant maroon colored eyes. But her mane and tail we're short and curled as a result, they were both a matching rare pastel maroon. Her cutie mark was 3 green leafs presenting Celestia knows what.
Even though she was prepared, Chrysalis felt uneasy.
But she barely had a choice in the matter, tomorrow would be the day that would decide if her Kingdom starves or is blessed.
Chrysalis quickly entered Canterlot lifting her pen and paper with her magic. The Guards didn't even give her the slightest glance, nodding their heads forward as if greeting a child's imaginary friend. When she entered she quickly made a note on her paper,
'It should be extremely easy to get in this place, as the guards might not be getting paid enough'.
She also made a mental note,
'Maybe guards aren't that good after all .... i'll feed my subjects first'.
As she walked in and looked around, immediately noticing this was going to have a very different kind of society.
For a start, everything was clean and brightly colored. She was amazed by the clothing the pony's we're wearing too.
Where she ruled, half of them didn't even know what the thing on top of her head was. It was clear to her that she would have to make a mass amount of improvements when she got back [besides they're tummies].
When she had gotten a few more paces into the strange world, she was finding it harder and harder to keep calm. The beautifully painted shop windows we're so much nicer to look at. She felt herself trying to keep a calm poker face on instead of entering and buying everything in each building.
By the first hour she had already seen about a dozen of perfect couples, and was getting better at hiding her joy. How was her ever going to return to the Swamp like land she had grown used to, she felt almost...free here.
''This is amazing'' she said to herself.
As she did this a royal guard slowly passed by. Maybe he thought she was talking to him, because he turned around and listed a long,long,long list of other 'Amazing' things. This was really starting to tick off the Queen, she grunted as he went on about the 2 Princesses she envied.
Until he named a third, 'The Princess of Love'.
She quickly repeated it out loud, exiting out of her character as she processed it in her mind.
Her eyes shot open and she sprinted away from the annoying stallion. She thought of all of the things she could do with this few found information. This mean't food, and more importantly; no more complaining!
But first, she'd have to find out more about this. As she walked around Canterlot and her thoughts, she heard some classy looking ponys talking about a Royal Wedding.
After 5 minutes of 'listening to her surroundings' she heard it was for this 'Love' princess......
''This is perfect'' she said too loudly.
She decided she'd have to make a new plan, and she knew it was going to take more than 2 pathetic hours of looking around. She was ready to do something bigger, to plan something fantastic.
The Royal guard shook his head as he walked in the opposite direction, he was supposed to be on high watch. Especially with all three princesses there.....'should I report this?' 'did I give her too much information?' In the end, he really wasn't sure what to do. He walked up to another guard and explained the situation,
''Yeah, I think you might want to write a letter or something like that'' the other guard said.
He looked almost as nervous as the grey and blue royal guard that was in this mess.
'If only he could keep his big mouth shout', that mule of a guard is probably going to over exaggerate, Again' he thought to himself.
But he nodded and walked away, without saying another word to him. The yellow guard looked pretty satisfied with the answer he had already given him anyways.
He was going to write a letter, or some type of report.
