Change is Good

The arrivals

It was a dark and stormy night in Ponyville and a mysterious figure carrying a basket of sorts, as it swiftly made its way undetected through the town and eventually made its way to the Castle of Friendship home of Princess Twilight Sparkle. The figure sets the basket down and leaves a note, the figure then starts banging on the door hoping that the princess isn't what she is made out to be. The figure was told that the princess only help her kind, that she only help ponies and didn't help other species. But she hoped that they were wrong and that she is a good pony that will help all that need it. The figure then sheds a tear and blows a kiss to the basket and leaves.

Meanwhile inside the castle Twilight and Starlight Glimmer were making their to the throne room where their friends are waiting for them. Spike The Dragon was writing what friendship lesson he learned when meeting Thorax the Changeling

"I hope Thorax is doing well in the Crystal Empire and eventually makes good friends too". Spike said wondering how his new friend is doing.

"He'll be fine Spike, Shining and Cadence will make sure of it". Twilight said

"But it will be difficult for him and the ponies in Canterlot to come to terms with this new change". Starlight added

" It will be hard at first, but friendship always finds a way in the end". Twilight smiles

They stop when they hear the somepony knocking on the door, curious about who it could be Twilight asks Spike to answer the door.

"Could you please answer the door Spike, Starlight and I will be with the others in the thrown room catching up".

"Sure thing Twilight". Spike then makes his way to the door, while the girls head to meet with their friends.

Spike opens the door and sees, no pony there but a large basket with a note attached to it. As he reads the note he hears somepony crying a baby crying. He removes the blanket covering the basket revealing the occupants, and Spike in aw struck screamed one thing.

"TWILIGHT"!

Twilight and Starlight enter the thrown room where Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy smile on as they reunite with each other.

"Twilight your back, your back, your back!!!" Pinkie bouncing over to her friend to give her a hug, which was returned.

"Yes Pinkie, I'm glad to see you too". Twilight smiled

"How was your trip to the Crystal Empire, darling." Rarity asked

"It was eventful Rarity, and I can't wait to tell you all about it". Twilight said

"Twilight"! Twilight and the others heard Spike scream.

"What's up with him, there must be something wrong". Twilight worried by the yell.

"Don't worry Twilight, I'll go see what's going on". Starlight assured her friend. Then leaves to see what's made Spike scream.

"Um, you were going to tell us how your trip was...you know if you want to". Fluttershy asked politely

"Well everything was great, Shining and Cadence are doing fine, and Flurry Heart is still adorable as ever". Twilight smiled telling her friends what happend.

"So, what else happened. I heard rumors that there was a Changeling still hiding in the Empire. Did you find it and send it packing". Dash said wanting to know if the rumors were true.

Twilight sighed "Well, that is something I want to discuss with you girls about".

"What exactly do you want to talk about, sugercube"? Applejack asked with a curious look on her face.

"Well first off, I would like to say that Starlight and I made a new friend during our stay". Twilight said trying her best to say this right.

"What new friend did you make, was it another pony? A buffalo, a another dragon, a caribou- (gasp) was it a changeling"! Pinkie spit balled.

Everypony was silent for a moment before the girls all laughed accept Twilight and Fluttershy.

"Yeah right Pinkie! Like Twi's new friend would be a changeling". Dash said

The laughing quieted down, but Applejack was the first to notice that Twilight wasn't laughing with them. In fact she saw that Twi looked like she was upset with a frown on her face, and Applejack new knew that it was directed at them. And from the look she was giving she was not happy with them.

"Um, Twi ya know were just joking right, that you actually making a friend out of a changeling is completely, Re...dicu...lous". Applejack slowly shut her mouth as Twi's look intensifies and she begins moving forward with purpose.

"Tell me something Applejack, was it a joke when we made friends with Zecora, when we meet her.? Or was it a joke when we made friends with the buffalos, after we made peace with them.?" Twilight get right in Applejacks face, then she turns so she can let everypony know that they are in the same boat as Applejack.

"I can't believe that you girls have forgotten a friendship lesson that is the utmost important thing to making new friends." She looked down for a moment, before continuing.

"I admit, that I forgot that lesson as well, and I can't help but feel proud of the drake that did what everypony was too afraid to do, make friends with a-".

"TWILIGHT" Starlight scream interrupted her.

"Now what"?! Twilight thought.

Starlight and Spike both burst into the thrown room panting with surprised looks on their faces, and the basket that was found outside. Starlight also had something in her hooves sleeping, it was a baby, but it wasn't baby pony. It was a little smaller than a normal baby would be, but it was big enough to hold and it was wrapped in a white web like substance like a towel.

"Ch-Changeling".?! Twilight was in shock.

She then looked at Spike as he was pushing the big basket that was covered in a long blanket and noticed the movements under it meaning that there was something else under it. Spike saw he look and uncovered the basket revealing five other small changelings some were the size of the crusaders, but others were smaller than that, but where bigger than the baby Starlight held.

The baby changeling was soon awoken by its stomach growling and saw all the strange colorful place it was and it saw the colorful ponies looking at it. It tried to taste the love in the room, but all these ponies didn't have any it could eat and it did the one thing all babies do when their hungry. It began to sniffle and then it burst out crying.

"This is going to be one of those days isn't it". Spike thought as he covered his ears with his claws.
