The changeling was sad.

It was sad because it was starving.

Like all changelings, it parasitically fed off of other ponies' love, draining them of all vigor and emotion.

For the past few years it had fed off of Rainbow Dash's inexhaustible love for herself.

Rainbow Dash was currently stuck in the hospital with a broken wing, so that bountiful supply of love was cut off.

It had to find a new host. But where was love to be found in this harsh, cynical world known as Equestria?

The changeling nearly gave up hope, but then it detected an intense beacon of love nearby! This love radiated so fiercely, so freely, magnitudes stronger than even Rainbow Dash's narcissism. This was the mother lode!

The source was a pony named Twilight Sparkle at her favorite restaurant, the Hay Burger. She loved burgers so much. She wolfed them down, completely unconcerned with anypony witnessing her lack of table manners. 

The changeling pounced on this opportunity without hesitation. It knew that its entire life had been leading up to this pivotal moment.

It used its changeling magic to reshape itself as a giant burger, diverting all of Twilight's love from the edible burgers toward the impostor. The gluttonous pony didn't notice anything at all, so she continued chowing down.

Both Twilight Sparkle and the Changeling never went hungry again.

Burgers!
