//------------------------------// // Chapter Seventeen // Story: The Canadian Brony // by Biglaw //------------------------------// I woke up the next morning, though, it felt as if I didn't sleep at all. I yawned, and I looked to Dash, who looked better from yesterday. "Hey Dashie, how are ya feeling?" I whispered into her ear. She turned over to me, and nodded. "Want anything for breakfast?" I asked She just pulled the blanket over her head, and I heard her snore. "Well, I'll leave an apple by your bed, if you get hungry." I said to her, as I flew into the kitchen. I flew back, placed the apple on her night stand. "Hey Dashie, if you're not feeling well, you can stay home. I have to get to Sweet Apple Acres, I love you Dashie." I said lovingly. All I heard was her snore. "Alright, see you later." i said quietly. I flew out the front door, and went over to Twilight's library. "There's something up with Dash, and I'm not resting until I found out what." I said to myself. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I made it to Twilight's house, and I knocked on the door, and Spike opened it up. "Oh hey there Bolt! Come on in!" Spike said happily. "Hey Spike, is Twilight around?" I asked anxiously. "Uhh, yeah! One second!" Spike exclaimed, and ran upstairs. I picked up a book, it was a Daring Do novel. I skim read through it for a few minutes, and Twilight finally came down the stairs. "Oh, hey there Bolt! Enjoying the book?" Twilight asked. "It's a good series, I can honestly say that." I replied. "So what brings you here? Does Rainbow want any more books?" Twilight asked, while organizing some books. "No, she doesn't. I just wanted to ask you about her... Behavior." I asked Twilight. "Well, what's the problem?" Twilight asked. "Dash has been acting a bit weird. After I got back from Sweet Apple Acres, she was really quiet." I said with concern in my voice. "Hmmm, that is odd, she usually talks to you." Twilight said curiously. "Yeah, I wonder if..." I said, then gasped. "What's wrong Bolt?" Twilight asked worryingly. "Dashie! She's not Dashie!" I exclaimed. "What do you mean?" Twilight replied worryingly. "Before! Celestia said the changelings feed off of love, right?" "Yeah, but how does... Oh no!" Twilight said, realizing the truth. "Alright, you go get the others and tell them to meet here, ASAP. I'll go get that faker." I spoke. Twilight nodded, and she teleported away. "Uhh, Bolt? What's going on?" Spike asked, hearing the sound of Twilight's magic. "Ah! I need you, and I'll explain, just write." I shouted to spike, who was across the room. He ran over to a desk, and grabbed a quill, and a scroll. "Ready!" Spike said with a smile, giving me a thumbs up. "Alright, Dear Princess Celestia, I have very urgent news. Evidence shows that Rainbow Dash has been replaced by either a changeling, or worse, Chrysalis. I am currently investigating, and hope you may be able to aid the elements of harmony and I if things go out of hoof. From, Star Bolt." "You got that Spike?" I asked. "Yeah, alright, you go, I'll send this off to the princess!" Spike said with a smile. I waved my hoof, and I left. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I flew as fast as I could to the cloud home, and I barged in without knocking. "Hey Dashi- Oh Celestia..." I said, trembling at what I was seeing. "Oh, hello there Bolt, It seems you are here for the party." Chrysalis said with a devilish grin. There were at least two dozen changeling in the room, and Dash was in a chair in the middle. "Why are you here?!?" I shouted at the queen. "You should know already, I saw you explain it all to that Twilight pony." Chrysalis said. "Leave her be, she hasn't done anything to you!" I yelled at her. "You're right, she hasn't done anything to me, but you have!" Chrysalis shouted, rubbing her jaw. After she said that, six changelings flew at me, but I bucked them away, yet they kept coming back, and after a few minutes, I gave in. There was sixteen changelings trying to bring me down. They hauled me over to Dash, and tied me up in a chair. "What are you going to do now?" I ask, wonder what they could do at the moment. "Well, you know the saying "What goes around, comes around." right?" Chrysalis said, with her horn beginning to glow an eerie green light. I nodded, and I closed my eyes, preparing for the worst. I heard a loud shocking sound, and I cringed my face, but I felt nothing. I opened my eyes, and Chrysalis was using her magic on Dash! "Stop it!" I yelled to the queen, but she instead blasted her harder. I was in tears, and I looked at Dash's coat, it was fading. "What are you doing to her?!?" I yelled. Chrysalis rolled her eyes, and stopped her spell. "I'm draining her, us changelings feed off of love, and there is a lot between you two! Probably close to that Princess Cassy, or whatever her name was and Shining armor." Chrysalis said, with a chuckle. "You can't get away with this, I swe-" I was interrupted by the sound of knocking at the door. "Who is it?" I yelled, and I saw the mail slot pop open, to see two yellow eyes stare through. "It's me, Derpy! I have a letter from... Celestia? Wow!" Derpy said happily. "You can come in!" I shouted, to blow Chrysalis' cover. The door opened, and every changeling, including Chrysalis, turned into random ponies. "Oh, wow! Are you having a party? Are there muffins?" Derpy asked excitedly. "Uhh, yeah... Just put the letter in the kitchen, and I think there's a muffin on the counter." I said to her. "Uhh, Okay! Hey Bolt, why are you tied up?" Derpy asked with a confused tone in her voice. "Oh, we're just playing a littlegame!" Pony Chrysalis said to her. I looked over to Derpy, and mouthed to her "Get Twilight." Derpy nodded, grabbed her muffin, and left... With the letter." "Now, where were we?" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Derpy's Point Of View I flew out of Rainbow Dash's house, and with a muffin! I bit into the muffin, and it was blueberry! "Mmmm... Muffins!" I said to myself. "Now, what was it that Star Bolt said to me?" I thought, and I then remembered. "Get Twilight! That's what he said! But why?" I said, confused. I flew over to Twilight's library, and I knocked on the door, Spike opened it, and let me in. "Hi there Twilight!" I said happily, knocking over a tower of books in the process. "Oh, hello there Derpy! Why are you here? I didn't order anything recently." Twilight said, curious as to why I am here. "Well, I was at Rainbow's house, and Star Bolt was having a party! He said to get you, probably wanted you to come!" I said with a smile. "Did somepony say party?" Pinkie Pie said happily. "Thanks Derpy, alright everypony, we gotta get to Rainbow's house, now!" Twilight shouted. She cast a spell on all the non-pegasi ponies, and she teleported the group somewhere else. I frowned and left the library. "Why don't I get invited to any parties?" AUTHOR'S NOTE I do apologize for not updating my story recently, I hit a bit of a writer's block, and I decided to catch up on some deciations on DeviantArt, so sorry for not updating!
