And as grateful as I am for you to name me, I could never take my higher's place!" "Never," asked Queen Chrysalis. "W-well..." "Your, highness," said a smirking Honest Change, "Ah tank Chrysalis is right. She no longer has subjects, and you would be a perfect replacement, sugarcube!" Bending Loyalty nodded in agreement. "Yeah, Twili-," Bending Loyalty said, "I mean Queen Shimmering Dusk. You're, like, totally perfect!" Laughing Flip-Flop joined in , "I agree with Bendy,-" "What's my name now?" "-you'd be a great leader! After all, that b$%&@, Celestia, made you an Alicorn because of you leadership!" Dusk thought about it. Flip-Flop did have a point. "Duuh! Of course I have a point! I AM the former 'Pinkie Pie' after all!" Wait! How could she hear Dusk's thoughts?! Because of the Hive-mind, Queen Shimmering Dusk. You're friends and you share such a strong bond that you already formed a Hive-mind without magic! Did Dusk just hear Queen Chyrsalis' thoughts? How?! Why?!? Because of the Hive-mind. We just went over this. "Um," whispered Shifting Kindly, "I think you'd make a great leader, Dusk. And if even if you don't want to be called queen, we won't. You'll just be out leader." Thank you, Kindly. Oh... that pun was not intended , what-so-ever. I'm sorry. That's okay, Dusk. You just forgot my name for a little, like Bending forgot yours. Hey! Not cool, Shifting. S-sorry, Bending. Seriously? Ah may be a former earth pony, but ta have an argument in your heads... Really?! Ugh, can we just do the initiation, Dusk, and make you queen!? Yeah, Dusky! Let's do it and throw a You're-Now-the-Changeling-Queen-Party! Shimmering Dusk sighed. Hey, as former Twilight's former assistant, can I say she'd make one of thee best changeling queens, ever! THORN!!?! What? I'm just speaking the truth! It's kinda hard to lie in your head, ya' know. Darling, I agree with Thorny-Worny here. You would be one of the best changeling queens. Right, Chrysalis? Otherwise, you wouldn't have considered naming her or making her queen. Morphing Charity is right... I would hope so! ...I chose you for a reason, Dusk. And named you! So, Dusky, are you ready!? I guess so... <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Laughing Flip-Flop was preparing the coronation party. The pink changeling got her party-cannon changeling-i-fied... or... something. Anyway! She rolled out a purple carpet with splatters of turquoise-green and darker purple and pink, matching Dusk's mane. The confetti sprinkled all over the room seem to glow green and had the occasional black confetti-squares. Then she (somehow) made a replica of Twilight's old princess, element crown. It was black, with a six-pointed green, purple, and pink star, that somehow actually looked well together. Flip-Flop, darling. How did you make those colors go well with each other. Even I can't do that! You can do a lot with Changeling-Magic, Charity! Oh... That doesn't, uh... really help, Laughing... Morphing Charity sighed. "Ta,da," announced Laughing Flip-Flop. The basement-changeling-room looked A-. MAZE-. ZING! Laughing Flip-Flop had planned her first party, and it was better than one of Pinkie Pie's! I know! I always plan the. Best. PAR-TAYS!!! Laughing, stop breaking through the fourth-wall... Oops! Sorry, DiscordFan! I'll try my best not to! The narrator, DiscordFan, sighed. This may be a longer story-telling, than she had thought. Now let's see... Shimmering Dusk gazed around the room. It was... beautiful. The black walls, the confetti, the ballons that had just floated down from nowhere. And the centerpiece... an obsidian crown that was regal, but simple. The jewel it held was one of a kind. It was a turquoise-green, similar to Chrysalis' mane, purple, like the stripe in Dusk's mane, and pink, like Dusk's mane. It was a six-pointed star like the... Huh, Dusk still had a cutie-mark and so did the rest of the changeling-turned-Mane_6. Well, yeah! How else would I have been able to plan this awesome party?! FLIP-FLOP!! ... Thank you... Let's see... It was a six-pointed star like the cutie-mark on Shimmering Dusk's flank, and , instead of green, seemed to glow the colors of twilight, shifting in and out of different colors. The crown rested on a green pillow on a short, black column. Chrysalis walked over to the crown and stood by it. Shimmering Dusk... Are you ready? I suppose I'm ready. And if I'm not... I still have my friends. Aw... thanks, Dusk! We'll always be there for you... YEAH! We luv' ya', Dusk. C'mon! Let's get you INITIATED! Wait... how did you get that pony-emoji? I don't know! You totally got this, Dusk! Dusk, darling,! Let's get you initiated! Alright. Time for my coronation/initiation thing, that I don't even know what to call anymore! Huh..? Every-ling was confused but Dusk. Oh, well... *cough, cough* Ahem... Morphing Charity, could you please make me a coronation/initiation dress? But of course, darling! Anything for my friend and future queen! Um, Charity, Dusk said she didn't want to be called queen... Oh, Dusk darling, I'm so sorry. That's okay, Charity. Now, the dress should take, maybe, a day because of our new appearances and measurements... Ugh! Charity, let me guess, we're all getting dresses. Sugarcube, if she didn't make us all dresses than she wouldn't be Charity.
