I gave the changeling guard a nod as I approached the entrance to the Hive, “Princess Skitter wished to meet with me, Obsidian Scale.”
He nodded, “Yes, sir. Princess Skitter is currently with Queen Chrysalis in the throneroom. Please, follow me to where she wanted you to wait for her.”
“Of course.”
With that, I followed her into the Hive.
This place always gave me the creeps, to be completely honest. The tunnels and what used to be part of a mine beneath the city had been long since adapted by the Changelings to something more comfortable for them.
Dark walls covered with smooth, black resin. Green crystals barely lighting the place enough to see to walk. Organic shapes.
It reminded me of a xenomorph hive in style which admittedly was what was the most disturbing about it. The changelings on the other hoof, those I liked.
Changelings were awesome.
Obsidian Scale lead the way into a chamber and then he nodded, “Please wait here, sir. The Princess will be with you shortly.”
Nodding, I looked around the chamber. It was like all changeling chambers and covered with that dark resin. But it was brighter lit than most and had some furniture in it. Bookcase full of books, table, chairs.
It was a small library.
I didn’t need to wait long. Skitter walked inside, an air of annoyance about her, her wings beating a slow humming buzz on her back, just barely audible.
I bowed to her, “Princess.”
“Sir,” she answered, “Thanks for coming.”
“Anything, you know that,” I said and moved over to her, “What happened? You’re upset.”
She buzzed a bit louder and moved past me, touching her side against mine for a second, “My mother.”
“Ah,” I agreed, “That would do it.”
Skitter gave off an annoyed buzz and nodded, “Indeed, sir.”
Sighing softly, I followed her over to look at the bookshelf, “What did she want?”
Skitter looked down at me for a moment and then shook her head, “The usual. A lesson in how to be a Changeling Queen.”
“I see.”
“But that’s not what I wanted to talk to you about, sir,” she then continued, “It’s about the wedding, sir.”
I smiled at that, “Yes?”
Only a month left now. So much to do, even if I was mostly out of the equation when it came to planning it. For the most part, the castle staff had been handling the wedding planning..
They can have it to be honest.
I just wanted my Luna there and as long as that was true, everything else could be pretty much anything. But I also wanted it to be perfect for her.
“...Are you certain I should be there?” she asked after a second, “Ponies still haven’t accepted changelings. I’m afraid it might…”
“Then being there will do nothing but help,” I countered firmly as I looked up at the taller changeling, putting my hoof on her shoulder, “I want you there, I want the rest of the changelings there and Celestia help me, I even want your mother there.”
If only so I could keep an eye on her while all of the alicorns were gathered in one spot so she couldn't get up to anything.
Skitter buzzed slightly at the mention of Chrysalis before she nodded, “...Okay, sir. I just don’t want to disturb the event.”
I smiled at her, “Don’t worry, you won't. Besides, I suspect it will turn into the changeling buffet of the century. You know how emotions tend to run high in ponies on special occasions like that. You did invade during the last royal wedding for a reason.”
“...Another reason why I’m hesitant to be there…” Skitter said softly, “The last time changelings went to a royal wedding, it… didn’t end well.”
“Perhaps not at the time, but I think it turned out alright eventually,” I said before I smiled, “Difference is that this time you’re invited.”
yes!!! We are back!!!!
Ahhh this was what was missing in Day
And the saga continues!
Perfect! But where's Sunset Shimmer?
And awaaaaaaaay we go.
As a side note. I did make a refrence to Fern in Twilght Gets a Puppy in case it gets brought up. I usualy mark refrences but i forgot. Though the comments did it for me.
And here we go!
Here we go again!!!
Aside, she should be there. Both as a friend, and as a Head of State.

Neat, totally forgot this was a thing. Nice to see it back.
Post to featured in 2 hours. I think it's a record for me.
Finally, we all were waiting so long for this continuation. Thanks, Hiver.
Forgive me, but should she ever go to war I will be making escalation jokes. Especially if a dragon or sea monster gets involved.
Woooot!!!! Just made my night! Thank you continuing this.
You're back with a new story in this series ! Houra !
I'm back to read it ! Houra !
Tracking this before even reading it because I read the rest of the series before getting an account. No further explanation is necessary.
Wow aiming high
Hmm only with Luna?
Wasn't there something with Sunset Shimmer?
Also
I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE just ship Skitter with Blank Page, P̴͓̓L̶̠̋Ė̸̤A̴̘̿S̷͎̑E̸̫̋ ̶̘̂S̵̳̓T̸̫̋O̵̫̽P̴͈̂ ̶̪̃T̶̺͠H̴̼͆Ḙ̸̄ ̷̝̋Ṭ̷͆Ō̴̤R̵̗̅T̶͔̔U̸͍̓R̴͎̾Ḛ̴̄
Aww hell yeah so glad to see this back on my radar once again to see what trouble Page gets up to.
Parallel universe Twilight? I swear I don't remember that, which story is it from?
Chrysalis should not only go but also go armed for war. Or as if going to a buffet. Or merely do the queen thing and be as a sore reminder as possible of the last wedding.
And, of course, tease him mercilessly once things inevitably go pear shaped
so, it finally happened. heh, called it. makes me wonder if herds are a thing in this universe and if not what happened to the other mares that were interested in him
Whoot! Thought duties was the ending for some reason, but NO! it goes on!!!!

It's mane universe twilight and she came into the story at the end of duties.
-Gasp- yesyesyesyesyesyesyes!
My peeps! We are back!!!
OOOOO
We back at it again!
Off to a great start.
Really happy to see a new entry to this series.
WE DEMAND img.memecdn.com/mlp-image-macro-n-26_o_2535849.jpg
The cover has grumpy looking ponies in military uniforms with things smoldering in the background. Looks like the wedding is going to have some uninvited guests.

Keep in mind that the cover art is drawn by Sipioc who has not much more information to go by than you.
Nice
I have read these since the very beginning. Admittedly, it is one of the few "Human turned Pony" stories that both became a series, and held my attention the longest. In light of that fact, you will forgive me if I watch it with a critical eye, because I do not desire to see it die out anytime soon! Thank you for your understanding, and once again, WOW me with another great chapter-based sequel!
9815452
He’s right. Not given more than a title.
9815773
End of the last story. Her name reveal was in this story.
9815473 9815867
Bah, Word of God is overrated. Wild speculation is way more fun.
So glad to see this series return. Honestly, its possibly the very best Human as a Pony stories out there, for all the chapters are short and concise. The story is so wonderful and the characters are a delight. And the fact that it is secretly an Anon story has always made me smile. Afterall. Blank Page. Anonymous. Both empty. Both waiting for details to fill them. Such a wonderful thing.

Omg i never thought of it that way, which makes it that much better.
It is back.
This just made my day sooo much better. 😃
9816056
To be fair, it avoids all the usual trappings of such a story, not just the name.
9816048
She's supposed to be the Twilight from the "canon" Timeline IIRC
9817156
Yes, that is this HiE. He also returned Sunset to Equestria.
Royal wedding with welcome guest this time... yay
9815256
We all can agree on that
9815029
The fun have bin doubled... No wait... trippeld... Two Luna Moon/Everytree or two Sunset shimmer fun first? After natural form treesome i guess... Who likes to bet?
Pheromone marking Page... Skitter stacked her claim
10969843
Rereading this whole thing afters a year before I get read the last book and I do not recall Skitter ever actually doing anything other then be friendly with Page...I'd hide this but I honestly don't know how

Sunset Shimmer was the same... But Skitter will last a looong time so they have all the time for the moment
