Compromises

Canterlot Castle, two days after Princess Twilight's anger burst

"It is good to be out of the bed", Chrysalis said, looking to the purple alicorn besides her, "a-and thank you for helping in my recovery" the Queen wispered, looking away, trying to hide her blush.

After all the castle was notified that an ammbassador from a foreign nation and its delegation had arrived, all capable hooves were busy helping set up acomodations for all the remaining changelings; in the meanwhile the insectoid ponies were helping to their "hosts and saviors" however they could as they began to call the princesses, anyhow, the remaining changelings proved to be a capable workforce, aiding whenever they were needed without a complaint.

On the medical wing of the castle, Princesses Celestia, Luna and Twilight have been helping out on the recovery of the changeling queen, healing magic applied with an alicorn boost having a miraculous effect on the queen, almost all the scars on her caparace had faded by now and the broken leg was now but a memory. Chrysalis had noticed that the youngest princess had put all her will to the task, also have been spending as much time as she could with the former enemy of equestria.

"It was nothing, I would have done the same for any of my... friends" Twilight Sparkle answers in a monotone, "Anyways!, we with Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were thinking..."

"What?" the changeling queen asked, raising one eyebrow.

"What do you think about a peace and land offer to you and your remaining brood?" the purple princess asked, craning her neck to lock back, a mischievous glint on her eyes, "we were thinking that you should get some land for your people within Equestria, because as you told us, you cannot go back to your place of birth right?" The second these words left the purple princess's lips, she was tackled by a very enthusiastic hug from the queen.

"Y-you really mean all of that?" Chrysalis asked, looking directly into the ex-librarian purple eyes, "I-I and my children are allowed to stay in Equestria?"

"I... Need... Air!!!" the purple librarian says between gasps.

"Sorry, sorry" Chrysalis promptly released the flustered alicorn, after that she bowed low to her, "I and and our changelings accepts both your offers, Queen-Princess Twilight Sparkle"

"Oh, that's great, I now can... wait a second, 'our' changelings, 'Queen-princess'?" the purple alicorn said, looking confused for a second, then widening her eyes "oh no, nonononono..."

"Actually, when you offered your help and now with the lands and the peace offer I, Queen Chrysalis of the wastelands and of the Emerald Hive Remains, officially declare that the union between Equestria and The Emerald Hive Remains is settled, that is, if the pony who offered this peace and land offer, Princess Twilight Sparkle, accepts joining efforts between ponies and changelings as a co-ruler."

*thud*

"Twilight Sparkle, are you well?" Chrysalis asked, nosing a unconcious alicorn.

Throne Room, Canterlot Castle, 45 minutes later

'Ughhh my head, what did I do before raising up today', thought Twilight Sparkle, trying to rise from a bed, a splitting headache and a dull beeping sound in her ears, 'It appears to be like that day with Moonshine and friends, next thing we knew, all of us were sprawled on the floor of her house, none remembering what the buck we did beforehoof'

"...light"

"...ake up"

"Twi... kle, wake..."

"You are late for a test" a male voice finally gets into the muddle thoughts of the ex librarian.

"AIEEE, I am lateeee!" Twilight Sparkle cries, rising up suddenly and tossing away a smug looking Spike, "Spike, please bring me..." she interrupted herself when she found the little drake getting away, snorting with laughter. she turned around slowly, noticing that all her friends, Queen Chrysallis and Princess Luna where on the same room, some of them snorting trying to contain their laughs at the studious alicorn's sudden wake up.

"My, if I knew that a test will get you up from the dead, I would have tried that the time that we all went to camping" Rainbow Dash says, a smug smile plastered on her face, "what do you have to say to that, egghead?"

"Uhm, maybe that if you try that, I can turn you into a Earth Pony, and without magic" the purple pony replies in a monotone, looking to all of them with bloodshot eyes, "the last thing that I remember is the talk that I had with Chrysalis about the Land and Peace offer." Twilight adds, looking pensively to the tallest mare in the room, "then she says that... oh, ponyfeathers."

"Yes, Queen-Princess Twilight" Princess Luna interrupts the now panicking alicorn, "Queen Chrysallis has signed the offer, and we with Celestia had agreed on her terms, anyhow..."

"HOLD YOUR HORSES!!!" a shout was heard from the other side of the door, before the aforementioned door were obliterated by a mad Shining Armor, "PRINCESS LUNA, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, THAT IS A LOAD OF MANURE, THAT TREATY WAS SIGNED WITH ONE OF THE PARTIES UNCONCIOUS, FOR CELESTIA'S SAKE."

"Actually, Captain-Emperor Shinning Armor, the law says that if in case of one of the rulers of Equestria being incapable of taking vote in a new law, agreement or treaty, that being the case, all the other rulers could outvote the decision, if there were more than one ruler, also because Empress Mi Amore Cadenza now is a Noble on the Crystal Empire, her vote doesnt count." Princess Luna deadpanned

"YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME!!" Now an enraged Twilight shouts, "ARE YOU SAYING THAT BECAUSE I WAS UNCONCIOUS AND CADENCE IS A FOREIGN DIGNATARY NOW, THE LAW WAS PASSED WITHOUT MY CONSENT!"

"Apparently so, Queen-Princess..."

"DON'T YOU DARE TO FINISH THAT SENTENCE, WHAT CLASS OF MANURE LAW WAS THAT??!!"

In another part of the castle, Princess Celestia sneezed hard.

"Sorry about that, ambassador whitefeather, as I was saying..."
