I woke up to the sound of hissing and nudging. When I opened my eyes, I almost jumped out of my skin. Two changelings were standing over me. I was about to scream, but then I realized that they were waiting for something. I looked around to see Chrysalis laying next to me. I got up and started pacing around. I have one of Celestia’s enemies and a letter that connects her to the pony that’s trying to frame me, but if I brought it in without more evidence, then it would be useless. I thought about it and said as he turned to Chrysalis, “Uh, Chrysalis, can ya hear me?”
Chrysalis said as she lazily nodded, “Yes Master.”
I steeled myself and said, “I want you to follow in disguise.” Chrysalis got up and changed into a dark gray pony with a blue mane and a book for a cutie mark and started following me to Zecora’s house.
When I got there, I knocked on the door and Zecora said as she answered, “Hello Eric, I assume you’re out. Am I correct?”
I nodded and said, “Yeah, I ran out two days ago, so I came to see how you’re doin and get some more.”
She nodded and said as she walked into her home. “I’m doing fine and your remedy shouldn’t be hard to find. Now, what is on your mind?”
I jumped and said, “I don’t know what you are talking about, I have nothing on my mind, just tired.”
She looked at me and said as she grabbed my medicine and hand it to me, “I could tell that something is troubling you. Is there anything I could do?”
I levitated the medicine into my bag, then said as I walked to the door, “I really don’t have anything troubling me, I’ll talk to you later, bye.” I didn’t wait to hear what she said. When I was far from her house, I turned around to see Chrysalis, still in disguise, was still following me. I slowed my pace to a walk in order to catch my breath and figure out what I’m doing, how was I supposed to find out more to catch whoever is framing me. Then it hit me if I go up to a pony on the list and ask Chrysalis to use the word robot, and when they obey Chrysalis, I can frame her for it.
When we were at the castle, I turned to Chrysalis and said, When we get into the castle and in front of Twilight, I want you to tell her robot.” Then I headed into the castle
Chrysalis said as she followed me into the castle, “Yes master.”
It took a while to find her, she was in the kitchen. She turned around and said when she saw us, “Hello, Eric, who’s your friend?”
Chrysalis stopped next to me and said, “Robot.”
Twilight looked at us with confusion and said, “What about a robot?”
My heart dropped into my stomach. It seems that robot will only work for me. I sat down, placed my head on the table and said, “It’s nothing, awake.”
Chrysalis shook her head and said as she shed her disguise, “Where am I? Oh, hello Twilight, it’s been five months.”
I looked at Twilight to see that she paralyzed with fear and confusion. When she found her voice, she turned to me and said, “Eric, why is Chrysalis here, are you even Eric, why did you bring her here?”
I sighed as I bang my head on the table, “Don’t worry, she is apparently under my control somehow. The more this day goes, the more it seems that I’m evil.”
Then I felt a hoof on my shoulder and heard Chrysalis saying, “Master, there is something that might help you. Twilight, could you take us to your storage.” I looked up to see Chrysalis had a hoof on my shoulder, then I turned to Twilight to see that she was shocked by all of this. She nodded and left after turning everything off.
When we got in the storage. Chrysalis walked to a wall, then pass right through it. Twilight gasped right next to me and I would if nothing else happened. I walked through the wall to see books, a coat, Vinyl’s glasses, potions, powder, black jacket, a letter in front of it all, and above it all was a banner that had my cutie mark on it. I levitated the note to me and read it, “Dear me, I guess you were a bit stubborn on believing that Celestia is good. She is good but has everyone believe that she is perfect for Equestria forever. We aren’t evil, sure we control ponies, but we gave Sombra a second chance and fed Chrysalis’ hive.”
I burned the letter, tossed it in the trash, grabbed the books, then ran out the door. I don’t care what the letter says, that was the last nail in my sanity coffin, and now there isn’t a way to go back to my previous life. I went to the library and pulled out a map of Equestria. Ponyville should be the first place to figure out I did and try to make amends. It says that I controlled ponies to love the changelings. Vinyl’s on the list with the failsafe, so I’ll visit her to get the story around ponyville, with the books are correct, even with the memory forgotten, the ones with the failsafe would be able to remember, but if a guard finds me controlling ponies, I’m dead. I shivered at that.
I got up and headed for the door. When I opened the door, Twilight and Chrysalis were standing there. I pushed them away, then it dawned on me. When my schedules change, or I have an appointment. I always forget, so I leave early for work but haven’t figured out what to do with the appointments. I turned back to Twilight and said, “Robot, you will become my assistant, and when I say awake, you will return to normal. Awake.” Then I turned to Chrysalis and said, “How many of the army is alive.”
As Twilight was getting used to what happens and mumbling, Chrysalis looked at me confused and said, “About a fourth survived being captured and starving, they are mostly young ones, nymphs.”
I nodded and said, “Twilight, once you are used to being an assistant could you head to my home and looked through my paper, and get everything together, even my appointments, I need some help with that.” Then I headed out the door, to head to Vinyl’s house to hear what needs to be amended with Ponyville.
