Not What You Think

BONUS CHAPTER: Dealing with bullies

Chrysalis sat in her Ponyville, enjoying the quiet. A cup of tea levitated to her lips as she relaxed onto the couch. It was something she enjoyed doing since the curse was lifted two years ago.

Since it was lifted, the story of the flutter ponies was revealed while Chrysalis went to Ponyville to live in peace with her daughter. They hid as the mother and daughter. Unicorn and pegasus. It was a quiet life in all.

The sound of the door slamming shut and hooves running up the steps went ahead to prove that even chaos still reigned in there lives.

Sighing, Chrysalis set down her tea and made her way up the steps after daughter. She came to a stop outside of the fillys room. From her spot outside she could hear the crying of the filly alicorn.

"Baby, you okay in there?" Asked Chrysalis as she knocked on the door.

"Go away!" shouted the filly, muffled by both the door and the possible pillow she had stuffed against her face. Chrysalis sighed and leaned against the door.

"Pupa, I may not be able to taste your distress or your pain, but I can tell you are really hurt right now. Please, tell me what's wrong, baby." said the queen. There was a pause as Pupa thought this over, trying to think this over.

"It's Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon again." said the filly. Chrysalis growled slightly, quiet enough she wasn't heard by her daughter.

"What did they do this time, Pupa?" More silence. It was starting to look like it wasn't a regular insult if she was this quiet.

"Tomorrow is parent day. They were making fun on how my parents never come so I said they would." A pause. A sniffle. "They said how could they when I didn't have any. How could anyone love a flightless Pegasus?" Chrysalis sat in shock at this, not believing what she was hearing.

"Scootaloo, when am I supposed to be there? I have a plan."
~~~~~~~~
Pupa, still in her form of Scootaloo, walked next to her mother, Angel, on their way to the school for parent day.

Chrysalis was able to calm down the filly and get her on a way to not only prove the two bullies wrong, but to show that they had no power over her. It was a method Chrysalis didn't want to use, but it seemed useful in this exact situation.

"Alright class, please settle down." said Cheerilee, ushering the kids into their desks. "Now, as you all know, it is Scootaloo's turn to bring her parents to school today. Now, as I have been told, it is her mother. So let's be polite to Miss Angel as she speaks." Chrysalis walked into the room. In her pony form, she reached to about Cheerilee's height,

"Good morning, my name is Angel Heart. Now, as I understand, I'm supposed to talk about what I do for a living and an interesting story. Thankfully, both of those things are very interesting indeed." said Chrysalis, spotting Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon in the back of the room, talking to each other and laughing while a hoof was directed at her. The queen smiled.

"Now, my real name is Metamorphisis Nymph Chrysalis. I am the Queen of the recently reformed race of Flutter ponies." said Chrysalis, watching the reactions of the foals. There wasa moment of silence before they broke into laughter, all except Scootaloo who grinned.

"I knew Scootaloo's mom was a nut job!" Cried out Diamond, laughing. Chrysalis grinned before enveloping herself in a green flame, gaining herself a head and a half in height and her pristine butterfly wings. At the same time, Scootaloo was enveloped in her violet flame as a horn and butterfly wings appeared on her, immediately silencing the class.

"Now, for that story, I think the Fall of the Flutter Ponies is a good one. Don't you agree, Miss Cheerilee?" Cheerilee, who had been on it since the beginning, nodded with a smile.

"I haven't touched on it too much and a re-telling from the pony who was there would be nice." said the school teacher. Chrysalis nodded.

"Alright. Now, this story starts over four thousand years ago. The Chaos War hadn't begun yet, the Everfree was just created, and the neutral race of Flutter Ponies was prosperous."

Flutter Ponies were a race of butterfly like ponies. The only ones to use magic being the alicorn Flutter Ponies, a rare breed of alicorn. Flutter Ponies were well known for their quiet and agile flying abilities, ability to work as a colony of bees. They were efficient, powerful, and secluded.

Shortly after the creation of the Everfree Forest, Discord once again grew bored with the dull, orderly world. He set his sights on the most dull and boring and orderly country he could find. The Flutter Nation.

Using his chaotic powers, he turned the race of neutral ponies into insect monsters that survived off of gathering love and starting conflict. And all the queen of the land could do was watch in horror as her nation was turned.

Queen Metamorphisis grew desperate. She begged, pleaded, kissed his claws, pleasured him in ways that would make most mares cringe. And each time he denied her race freedom from the curse, claiming it too much fun.

For the next four thousand years the changelings collected love, started conflicts in small towns and cities, and even one war. Hunger changed this race whose beauty was matched by none.

"And two years ago the elements of harmony were able to work with the queen to break the curse that was placed on the flutter ponies. Of course, this came at the cost of him gaining a wife. So, that is the fall and rebirth of the mythical flutter ponies. And how Discord and Fluttershy got married, I guess." said Chrysalis. The foals of the class stared at her in awe.

"So Scootaloo is a bigger freak than before." said Diamond Tiara, causing a few foals around her to snicker. Chrysalis' smile didn't falter at this.

"No, it makes Pupa an alicorn Princess." said Chrysalis, silencing the class. "As I said, even Flutter Ponies have their own special race of alicorns. Pupa, or Scootaloo, is one of them. I sent her here to help her escape our starving nation and let her live happily. It was only of recent that I joined her.

"Now, I got a meeting in Canterlot soon. Pupa, are you going to be able to handle being home alone until I get back?" Asked Chrysalis. Pupa, rolled her eyes.

"I'm eleven, mom. I can handle myself." said the filly. Chrysalis chuckled.

"Of course. Well, thank you for the chance to speak with your class, Miss Cheerilee."

"It was an honor, your highness." said the mare. Chrysalis nodded and exited the school house, letting the foals discuss what just happened among themselves. She smiled as she stepped out into the morning light.

"Are you ready, my queen?" She turned to see two Flutter pony guards walking towards her. They her dressed in silver Armour, spears held in the crook of their ankles. Chrysalis chuckled. It was always an odd sight. A race of ponies whose only magic is transformation still trying to use a weapon best used with magic.

"I am. We should leave now so we can reach the mountain city before the meeting is due to start." The guards saluted her and took up positions around her. Jumping from the ground, Chrysalis opened her wings and took off into the skies, her thoughts drifting back to the school house. She doubted that those two would be bothering her daughter for awhile.

She doubted that those two would be bothering her daughter for awhile.

She doesn't know Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.
Anyway, nice addition to the story.

3642530 I was thinking the same think when I first saw saw that :3
Overall I really enjoy the two-shot

[HalflingPony]

There are some solid, interesting concepts behind this piece. Unfortunately, there's just not enough time spent establishing the characters' reasons for acting the way they do:

- Twilight shows up and Chrysalis immediately pours out her heart, soul and life story to her. (That's almost believable in the context of the story, but still feels a bit sudden.)
- Twilight (and everypony else) immediately believes every word of Chrysalis' sob story and forgives every wrong she's ever done, despite the fact that this creature is an established master of deception.
- Discord turns the changlings back to flutter ponies for the price of a "please" and without so much as a "what's in it for me?"
- Nopony seems terribly put out at the revelation that one of their young charges/younger sister's best friends is, in fact a changling and a member of a royal house to boot. (You would think Rainbow might have at least a passing comment on the revelation seeing as how she's been living with the girl.)

I really want to give this a thumbs up for the core ideas but, for the stated reasons, I'm going to have to go with a reluctant thumbs down.

I would like to see a sequel based around the flutter ponies adjusting to life in Equestria and dealing with racism (mostly by Prince Blueblood and the more narrow minded among the Canterlot nobility) and hatred by those who were ever hurt by the changelings.
