//------------------------------// // Chapter One // Story: Clean Sheen Of The Mean Queens Dream // by Paper_Pen //------------------------------// "What exactly do you want?" Asked the angered queen, In a tone that spoke like a cobra prepared to attack. "We figured it would be easiest to understand thy enemy by seeing them in a light we understand" She stated matter of factly. "Why must you always speak like that? Ever since you were little it was always 'We', what in all of equestria is wrong with you?!" Luna huffed, but managed to shrug off the offense. "We must say, this dream is a bit-" She paused, looking around the rather nicely decorated house, "-Odd" "What were you expecting? A flaming wasteland? A hive full of my children?", She was nearly shouting, anger sprinkled on offense. "We expected a feast, much like your attack on canterlot" "You expect me to waste a peaceful night plotting? What kind of animal do you see me as?!" "We do not see you as an animal, we see you as an active threat" Chrysalis rolled her eyes in an exaggerated manner before chuckling a bit. "Nice to know that someone out in the real world cares, acknowledgement as an enemy is a kind of care at least", She took a breath, by now her and luna were sitting in the living room. "So, shocked to see me as a mare and not an evil enigma of an enemy?" "Admittedly, yes, so why do you dream like 'this'?" "A hunter dreams of the feast his prey provides, not of its eyes as he kills it", She was a dam holding back somber tears, "The look of curiosity that shoots to terrorized confusion and then, just, pained sadness" They looked at the floor, avoiding each other's awkward or attacking gaze.
