Chaotic: Changeling Madness

by Marina Stars

Masquerade!

Not long later all 6 mares were ready for the gala. And so was Spike who had an outfit that was made by Rarity. He was actually pretty handsome.

The little dragon wore black pants and a black top with golden designs on it. Just for fun, there was a sword attached to his belt. That was something that was popular for this kind of thing.

Each mare had an elegant dress.

AJ's was probably the most simple dress though it was pretty poufy. It was crème colored and had matching opera gloves on her front hooves, she had matching heels on her hind legs as well. Her mane was slightly curled and she had a few little flowers woven into her mane.

Twilight had a Magenta Dress that had many pink and purple gems on the bodice. The skirt also had lots of poof as well as a few pink stars and purple swirls embroidered onto it. She had a purple hoof-held mask, she held it with her magic, and it has a magenta star matching her cutie mark in the left side. Her mane was up in a bun and she had magenta opera gloves and magenta shoes.

Rarity had a beautiful dress that had a purple top and Ivory skirts. It was adorned with many purple and blue diamond shaped gemstones. Her mask was white and had a non-noticeable strap to hold it on. Her mane was more curled than normal and she had purple gloves and glass shoes like her first gala.

Rainbow's dress was less poufy than the others but it was still fancy. The top was blue and the skirt contained glittery transparent fabrics that were all the colors of the rainbow all overlapping each other here and there.

Pinkie had a yellow and blue striped top and a poufy pink skirt. She had a pink mask with three balloons matching her cutie mark in the right side. Her mane was also in a poufy bun.

Finally was Fluttershy who's dress was probably the most elegant. It was a glittering gold off the shoulder ball gown. It had a few, fabric, red roses along the top. She had glittering gems that sparkled with every movement she made as well and her skirt had ruffles. Her mask was teal with a little golden butterfly in the right side. Her made was to the side in a loose ponytail.

They all made it to the top of the steps at the castle by Celestia and Luna who were dressed up as well. Princess of the sun had colors matching her mane all blended together. Luna's was a mixture of a very dark blue and black and here mane was braided to the side. Fireworks could be heard outside and everyone was bursting with excitement!

"Twilight!" Celestia exclaimed excitedly

"Princess Celestia!" She replied with just as much exitement

Luna walked over to Twilight and her friends as she began to sing.

'Dear Twilight what a splendid gala'

'A perfect way to celebrate this year' Tia jumped in

'It'll be quite a night!' Luna smiled

'Were impressed' Both princesses sang

'Well we did out best' Twilight sang with pride

'Here's to us

The best gala ever

what a pity that some ponies cant be here' Every pony in the group sang. Celestia then signaled to the guards to let ponies in and to the musicians to start playing music.

Many ponies quickly entered the castle and began to sing an upbeat and happy tone

Masquerade!

Paper faces on parade!

Masquerade!

Hide your face so the world will never find you!

Masquerade!

Every Face a different shade!

Masquerade!

Look around there's another mask behind you!

Then only the mares sang together and it was slightly staccato

Flash of mauve

splash of puce

fool and king ghoul and goose

green and black

queen and priest

trace of rouge

face of beast

Then all ponies sang normally

Faces!

Take your turn

take a ride

on the merry go round

'In an inhuman race,' the mane 6 sang together

All mares then sang once again

Eye of gold

thigh of blue

true is false

who is who

Curl of lip

swirl of gown

ace of hearts

face of clown

Faces

take it in

take it up

till you drown in the light

in the sound

Celestia and Luna smiled at each other then sang;

'But who can name the face?'

All ponies joined in again singing

Masquerade!

Grinning yellows spinning reds

Masquerade!

Take your fill

let the spectacle astound you

Masquerade!

Burning glances

turning heads!

Masquerade!

Stop and stare at the scene of smiles around you.

Then they all sang quietly in a staccato way as well as making very little movement

Masquerade

seething shadows

breathing lies

Masquerade

you can fool any

And everypony grew louder with the next line,

friend who ever knew you

Masquerade

leering satyrs

peering eyes

Masquerade

run and hide but a face will still pursuit you!

'What a night!' Apple Jack exclaimed excitedly

'What a crowd' Spike observed

'Makes you glad!' Twilight proclaimed

'Makes you proud' The two sisters sang as they were proud of the princess of friendship

'All the crème de la crème

watching us' Rarity dreamily stated batting her eyelashes

'and watching them!' Pinkie motioned to all the ponies in the crowd

'And all our fears are in the past' Fluttershy sang in her beautiful voice

One night Luna began

'of relief' Celestia finished

'full of fun!' Pinkie and cheese, who had joined up with her during this, sang excitedly

'Of elysian peace.' Fluttershy added

'And we can breathe at last' The country mare sighed

'No more work' Rarity added

'Time for fun!' The two party ponies sang once again

'Here's to health' Celestia beamed

'Here's a toast' Luna proclaimed

'To a prosperous year' Flash, who had also joined up with them sang

and To our friends who are here Twilight added on

'And may this splendor never fade' Apple Jack and Spike sang in unicine

'What a change' Fluttershy noted as this was a different than past galas

'What a wonderfull time' Twilight added on

'And what a masquerade!' Fluttershy sang once again

Then somewhere in the crowd of ponies there were two ponies who weren't there to have fun like all others. The two were black unicorns one male one female. The mare was taller and appeared older than the colt. She had a Teal mane and green eyes and she had a grey and black cobweb-like dress. The colt had a short green mane and also had green eyes, he wore a simple tux as well.

The mare smirked evilly and sang with a half whisper to the colt

Oh, think of it

soon we'll attack

Her smirk grew before she motioned for the colt to look around

look our future kingdom

"just think of it"

"But why must we do this?" He asked unsurely. He didn't want to do what she wanted to do, these ponies seemed so good and friendly "why cant we just let them be?"

"You promised me you would!" She hissed angrily at him

"I know but I don't want to." He responded sadly

"Well this is for the good of our kingdom."

"But this is a crime!" he responded angrily

She rolled her eyes and sang once again 'Moth Ball what are you afraid of?'

'please don't make me.' The colt, Moth Ball, pleaded

'But you have to

you must pretend' She ordered him

Moth Ball sighed and looked at the floor in defeat

'I can only hope' He sang

Both then sang together, 'I/you will understand in time'

After that there was a long instrumental where many ponies made their way to the dance floor and all went swirling around the room in a very fast pace mares and stallions kept switching up partners every few seconds and it made most dizzy.

At the end of the long instrumental AJ ended up with spike, Twilight and Flash were partners, Rarity had found Fancy Pants when the two became partners, Pinkie had ended up with cheese, Rainbow had been surprised by Soarin becoming her partner (She didn't even knew he danced!) And Fluttershy... well she ended up with a grey unicorn with a blue horn and a black mane (which was a slight disappointment because she had hoped to see Discord and maybe dance with him. The again, the gala had just started and he would probably make some sort of grand entrance.) But his outfit was interesting it was completely red with black knee high boots. He had a grey half skull mask that made it hard to see his eyes. He also had a sword on his belt

All of the partners stayed with one another as all began to sing in a long drawn out way,

Masquerade!

paper faces on parade!

And then the singing sped up

masquerade!

hide your face so the world will never find you

masquerade

every face a different shade

Masquerade

look around there's another mask behind you.

Then, surprisingly all the mares went an octave higher with their singing and some stallions did as well

masquerade!

burning glances turning heads

masquerade

stop and stare at the scene of smiles around you

Masquerade!

grinning yellows spinning reds

masquerade

take your fill let the spectacle astound you!

They held the last note as the orchestra finished their playing each pony either bowed or curtsied to their dance partner before clapping for the orchestra.

Then Celestia and Luna walked to the middle of the ballroom

"We would like to thank each and every one of you for coming to attended this special grand galloping gala!" Celestia spoke

"And we hope that you enjoy this masquerade!" Luna exclaimed

The ponies cheered and the party began. Two airs of glowing green eyes watched the scene, though one pair was full of malice the other pair was full of worry as to what was to come.

Author's Note:

And I'm leaving it off here! Just so you know the gala will be spread into two or three more chapters, so much is to happen on one night!

But that new episode though... Fluttershy did a masquerade thing (Without the mask) When Rarity suggested that I just fangirled so much ! Then I got something I have been waiting for, for so long!Return of the FlutterBat!!!! I have wanted that to happen for so long!

Anyways... I do not own the song 'Masquerade' (some lyrics were changed to fit the story better though) from 'Phantom of the Opera' though I really love it! Masquerade is my favorite song in the musical! That is one reason my Halloween costume is Masquerade themed. If you see a girl with a purple and black poufy dress and a black and silver mask also carrying a pillowcase for candy on Halloween, it's definitely me... unless someone gets the exact same costume as me...

And I also do not own Moth Ball, he is Disney Fanatic's OC. If you have not read her stories I suggest you do you will love them!

Once again Happy Halloween! Please comment and tell me what you think!

Squee I love Phantom of the Opera That was awesome, Masquerade is one of my favourite songs - not that I actually dislike any from that musical at all! Loved this chapter just for that song, and enjoying the story lots!
