“Chrysalis!”
Queen Chrysalis of the Changelings looked up in annoyance at Twilight Sparkle.
“What?”
The purple alicorn sighed. “Listen, Chryssi, I know you like your new toy, but we’re having dinner. Could you please put it away?”
The changeling queen pouted. “It’s not a toy, it is an essential part of anypony’s life.”
Twilight sighed and put down her fork, knowing this could easily turn into one of those things. “Chryssi, it’s a lighter.”
“And it’s useful,” Chrysalis argued, gesturing to the candles that sat on either side of the table.
Twilight tried smiling reassuringly. “Yes, it is, but it’s also dangerous.”
Chrysalis blew air out of her muzzle as she again flicked the lighter in her hooves. “Oh please, what’s so dangerous about-”

Fire carriages chirped and flashed in the background. A very unamused Twilight sat next to a trembling Chrysalis, a trauma blanket draped over the latter.
“Learned your lesson?” Twilight asked, watching the Ponyville Firecrew haul out the blackened remains of her new table.
Chrysalis nodded furiously.
“Are you upset that you had to destroy my new dining table to do it?”
Chrysalis nodded her head again, tears welling in her eyes.
“And what are you not going to do again?”
“Accept any sort of present from Celestia,”
Twilight sighed, bringing a hoof to her forehead. “No, not play with anything dangerous. You have to treat any item that has the potential to do harm with respect.”
Chrysalis sniffed and nodded again. “Fine, it was my fault. I promise I’ll never do it again.” She dared to snuggle closer to Twilight. “And I’m sorry I ruined your new table.”
Twilight allowed a small smile to creep onto her face. “I know you are. And I know exactly how you’ll make it up to me.”
Chrysalis tentatively raised an eyebrow. “Y-you mean you want me to-”
“Yes,” Twilight giggled mischievously. “And this time, remember to check the labels on the potions before you drink them.”
