The angry clicks and chatters bounced off the walls and made anyling who heard it, military or civilian, flatten their ragged ears to their heads and wince. The Queen was angry. Queen Chrysalis stomped out of her chambers, muttering under her breath. "Rot-bitten unlovable daughter of a horsefly, make a fool out of me will you, when I get my hooves on her she's gonna wish she never hatched..." She made her way to a cocoon chamber. The mare within floated in dreamless sleep, love chemicals endlessly activated by the slime. She lit up her horn bright green and tore a long stream of love out of Volunteer Cobalt, and with that love's power she summoned a ring of fire and teleported to the surface of the Badlands. Once there, her wings buzzed to life and lifted her into the air. She soared across the familiar, barren plains of her home until she reached the disgustingly verdant, overgrown lands of Equestria. So much plant life everywhere, how did they put up with it? Her anger began to fade, but when she saw the spire of Twilight's castle as she approached Ponyville it flared back to life, and she bit down so hard her fangs nearly drew blood. She spotted her quarry near the outskirts of Ponyville, having a picnic with her friends. Gnashing her teeth in anger at the mere sight of the purple pony, Chrysalis shrouded herself in green fire and dove down. "TWIIIIIILIGHT SPAAAARKLE!" The ponies scattered before she could impact them. Her inferno dash into the ground charred the grass and left a crater, from which she stood and locked eyes with her soon to be very sorry marefriend. "Look out, it's the changeling queen!" the rainbow one said, dive-bombing her. Chrysalis snarled, looked her way, and encased her in a cocoon. A few more magic blasts incapacitated the rest of the purple alicorn's friends, letting her trot towards her menacingly. "Twilight... Sparkle," she growled. Scrambling on her back, Twilight laughed nervously. "Heh, hey there Chryssy. What brings you here? GRK!" Chrysalis lifted Twilight face-to-face with her. The alicorn tried to use her own telekinesis to escape, but Chrysalis's infinitely more powerful magic clamped down on her attempts. "So Twilight, mind explaining to me why I had a little surprise in my bed?" She blushed hard. "W-Wait, Chryssy, it's not what it looks like!" "And why my subjects found it?!" The 'Rarity' pony gasped. "Twilight, do you mean to say you and this beast are - mmphph!" Chrysalis silenced her with slime across the mouth. "Not what it looks like, hmm? We'll just see about that!" She summoned her magic and engulfed the two of them in a ring of green fire. The ponies she'd encased would be free of the slime in a few hours as it dissolved on its own, but she and Twilight would be long gone by then. They teleported all the way back to Chrysalis's chambers, since she could more easily return to home than leave it, and Chrysalis made Twilight look at her bed or, more to the point, the articles of clothing on it. "So, care to explain these... items?" "I-I thought only you would see them! I swear, I didn't want to embarrass you!" Chrysalis paused at her explanation, and softened. Her emotion senses weren't picking up deceit."You didn't? I thought you'd... willingly embarrassed me like this." "I'd never!" she said earnestly. "I'm still sorry, I should've expected someling might find them before you." She sighed. "It's alright Twilight," she said with a light buzz of her wings. "Since we're here, mind helping me into them?" "Sure!" ***-_***_-***-_***_-***-_***_-*** Later in the day, the door to Queen Chrysalis's bedroom burst open to reveal Princess Celestia, currently in full-blown Vengeful Sun Goddess mode. The aurora-esque mane and tail were alight with flames and her eyes glowed brilliant white. "CHANGELING QUEEN! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH TWILIGHT - " The flames and light sputtered out when Celestia beheld the scene. "What are you doing?" Twilight paused and so did Chrysalis. The queen in question wore a Santa Hooves hat, all four of her perforated legs were in green stockings, and she had a red and green festive saddle across her shell. Twilight, in turn, wore antlers behind her ears, a red gem on her snout, and Chrysalis was busy painting her brown. "This isn't what it looks like!" Twilight said hastily.
