It had been two days since Twilight had returned to Ponyville, and already she missed Chrysalis to the point that she was becoming antisocial again.
"Hey Twilight?"
Twilight jerked her head away from the floor. Spike stood in front of her, twiddling his hands nervously and looking at her with concern. She gave her assistant a warm smile, hoping to alleviate his fears.
"Yes?" She asked him.
"Well... Ever since you came back you've been acting strange. I'm worried for you, we all are."
"I'm just thinking of what happened while I was trapped out there. It'll take more than a few days before I start feeling well again. But don't you worry, I'll be right as rain soon enough."
Her words seemed to soothe Spike, who nodded and walked off without another word. Twilight had used that same excuse several times over the past two days, and she did feel terribly guilty about it.
Twilight hated to lie to Spike, she really did, but she couldn't just tell him that she was thinking about Chrysalis. That would almost surely cause him to start asking questions, which would spell bad news for her if he asked Princess Celestia or Luna.
Twilight sighed and looked down at her hooves, willing herself to get re-lost within the memories of her and Chrysalis trapped in the tunnel.
~Flashback~
"Oh Twiiiiiiiilight?"
Twilight grumbled in her sleep. She wished whoever was bothering her would go away and leave her to sleep in peace; she was absolutely exhausted.
"Go away." She mumbled, pressing her hooves against the chest of her assailant in a silent message to leave her alone.
"Waaaake up Twilight, I've got a brand new mint condition book for you..."
Twilight's shot open instantly, at first she thought it was too dark to see anything, but then everything began to come into focus. There was a pair of green eyes staring down at her. Twilight's pupils dilated in fear and she let loose a loud scream. Pushing herself away from the pony that had been laying over top of her, she scrambled to her hooves, her chest heaved with every breath she took. Twilight was not used to waking up like that, and she didn't want to become used to it.
The pony had been Chrysalis, who was now rolling on the floor laughing her flank off. Her hooves clutched her stomach as she struggled to breath.
Twilight's eyes narrowed and her lips curled up into a smirk as an idea came to her. Walking over to the Changeling she loomed over her, waiting for Chrysalis to notice her.
When Chrysalis finally stopped laughing and opened her eyes, her face shifted into an expression of confusion. "Huh? W-wha?"
"Payback time!" Twilight grinned mischievously as she lowered her muzzle down onto Chrysalis' bare stomach and began tickling her.
"Ooohh... Ah-hahah-ohahaha!" Chrysalis resumed laughing, her hooves flailing around in the air as she desperately tried to get away from Twilight.
"S-s-STOP!"
Twilight lifted her head from Chrysalis' stomach. "What was that?" She asked, quickly shoving her muzzle back down and blowing a raspberry into the chitin of Chrysalis' chest when she opened her mouth to respond.
Tears fell from Chrysalis' eyes as Twilight's hooves pressed against her sides. It was an odd sight for sure, to see the Queen of the Changelings, who had defeated Celestia single handedly, rendered helpless by the simple action of tickling. Twilight stopped torturing Chrysalis for the moment, allowing her to catch her breath.
Chrysalis sighed in relief, her eyes closing as she took in huge gulps of air. Her hooves fell back down to her sides and her lips twitched up into a blissful smile. She hadn't had this much fun in a long time.
Twilight couldn't help but grin as she stared down at the Changeling beneath her. The look on her face was certainly unbecoming of the queen of the Changelings, who came off as proud and arrogant.
It was absolutely adorable.
"Daaaaaaaaww." Twilight couldn't prevent the sound from escaping; it was a natural reflex whenever a mare saw something adorable to let out that sound, and Twilight Sparkle was definitely no exception.
After pushing Twilight off of her Chrysalis got back onto her hooves. "That was a lot of fun." She said, her eyes looking at Twilight with not anger, but adoration. "We should do that again sometime."
~End of Flashback~
Twilight let out a wistful sigh as the flashback ended. But that soon turned into a shriek as she felt somepony breathing behind her. Spike was at Rarity's for a sleepover with Sweetie Belle, so she was at a loss as to who could be behind her. That's when it hit her. Twilight's nose scrunched up as the abhorrent smell filled her nostrils painfully. It was by far the worst thing she had ever smelt before in her life. It was the smell of blood.
Twilight slowly turned around to face the pony. It was a mare, and around a foot taller then her, that's all Twilight could see at the moment due to the almost complete lack of light in her room. But whoever it was, they were severely hurt, her nose could vouch for that. The pony took a single step forward, the intricate details of her hoof were revealed as she stepped out of the shadows and into the moonlight.
Twilight fought the urge to cry as she recognized who's hoof it was. This couldn't be happening, it wasn't fair! What did she do to deserve this? Using her magic Twilight dragged Chrysalis out of the shadows, and almost fainted when she saw how badly injured she was.
"Twilight..."
Well, this will supply fuel for the shipping fire,
3618796 Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing (since I have no idea what it means), but I'll take your word for it.
3618840
You... You don't?
3619079 If you're talking about what Dragon Genesis here said then no, never heard it before.
3619099
To 'ship' is to (in one's headcanon) put two people into a relationship. It is derived from the word relationship.
3619137 I know what shipping is... I meant I didn't know what he/she meant by supplying fuel to the shipping fire. lol
3619143
It means that there is romantics undertones in the story, and that that will drive people up the wall with speculations.
3619161 So... It's a bad thing?
3619164
no it's not. If people were insisting there was a romantic situation when there is none, it can be annoying, but since there is a 'romantic' tag and the fact that it is quite blantant, it means nothing. His comment was a bit misleading since there is nothing to really speculate.
3619177 Ah... That makes sense, thanks for taking the time to explain it to me!
I would explain the medical stuff for you but, I wont. For two reasons.
1- I don't know about that kind of stuff.
2- I DON'T want this story to end!!!
I'm absolutely loving this story so far!!! And there's much more that could be writen!!! Like, the other mane 6 and/or the princesses finding out about Twilight and Chrysalis, the events that unfold from there, the progress of their relationship and the others acceptance and many other things!!! Please!!! DON'T END THIS STORY!!! I BEG YOU!!!
3619374 Aww... You're making me blush! I was planning for Princess Celestia to find out in two chapters. You're right, I could write a lot more for this story, there's only one problem... I am planning to have Princess Celestia accept the relationship reluctantly, but as for the mane six I have no idea how to go about their reactions or how to get them to accept the relationship. I'm very inexperienced with most of the main six bar Twilight, I mean yeah, I know their personalities and stuff, but I'm horrible at writing for them. The medical stuff isn't directly related to the end of this story, it's actually going to make it a decent bit longer then originally planned. But anyway, since you've asked so nicely I suppose I could give it a try, no promises though. But that's in the future, for now I have to go think of what kind of injuries I want to give to Chrysalis.
3618840
1) I'm a guy seeing as you referred to me as he/she in other comments. 2) Adding to the shipping fire means the the connection and affection between the two ponies being shipped is growing stronger. It's a good thing.
3619648 Yay! I love when I actually succeed at something for once!
3619684 Notice the lack of a Tragedy tag. Do you really think I'm so mean as to kill my favorite villain? Considering how many books she's read I think it's safe to say she has a vague idea of what she's doing, though let's hope she's got a lot of morphine ready, because she certainly has little to no experience... From what I understand there are only a few differences between Changeling and pony physiology, so HAH!
3619686 What do you have to try to poo poo in our Cocoa Puffs?
I sure Twilight has a book somewhat about Changelings since the invasion. You probably have a book on everything except Pinkie Pie. I'm even sure she has books on dragons by now.
3619782 Not even going to try and respond to that... I'm done failing for today, no need to embarrass myself further. That's a good point, she probably does. Hmm... Not a big fan of Pinkie Pie, but eh, whatchya gonna do?
3620056 Maybe, maybe not. The decision of whether or not I'm going to keep being mean to her is still currently under debate.
3619576 Thanks a lot!!! And don't worry. I'm a pacient guy. I can wait. Say, I don't mean to self-promote me but, do you think you could see my story (which is actually my OC's bio) and tell me what you think?
3623747 I can if you want, but I have to warn you before I do, I'm an Extremely picky reader. So don't kill me in a fire if there are things I don't like.
And if you don't believe me here's some proof. EX: The moment I see Flash Sentry's name in any fanfic even if I love said fanfic, (I HATE him) I'll back out of the story and never look at it again. I'm kinda insane like that.
I'll go check it out in a little bit, I have to go do some stuffs first.
3623802 Don't worry. I can take critics (so long as they are constructives) and no likes. I know that my work will pease some and other, not so much. But hey, you can't please everyone, right? Besides, I belive that you gotta write what you want. If others like it, good. If not, too bad.
3623832 Very true!
