Chapter 5
The wheels of the train did it’s usual thunk-thunk, thunk-thunk as I looked out the window as it took me towards Ponyville.
My ultimate destination wasn’t anything exciting really, but I wanted to check some stuff with Twilight. Now normally when it came to magic I would have asked Luna, but I wanted this to be a surprise.
What I was looking for specifically was a transformation spell. Something that’ll let me look like a normal unicorn again, without the wings and with other colours without needing to keep the illusion going.
Sunshine knew how to do that, she did that during her vacation and I could have asked her as well, but she was not only ridiculously busy right now, but Clear Skies was visiting and I didn’t want to intrude into what little free time she had.
So I was heading to Ponyville to bother Sparky about it instead. Luna had her own way to hide who she was, but I just had the illusions and I wanted for us to be able to duck away somewhere for a week or two for the honeymoon without being bothered.
Amber was nowhere in sight of course. On the other side of the carriage my other guard was sitting, a pegasus called Blue Dawn.
“So, you drew the short straw for following me around today, huh?” I asked her with a smile.
She smiled, shifting her blue wings, “Not at all, sir. I volunteered.”
“Hmm? time to clean the barracks already?” I teased.
She grinned and shook her head, “Not this time, sir, but there was talk of a field exercise…”
I just chuckled and nodded, “Sensible. Following me around might not be the most exciting, but at least you’ll not be crawling around in the mud.”
“Bodyguard duty is one of those things you really rather not be exciting, sir.”
“Very good point.”
There was a knock on the door and Blue Dawn jumped out of her seat and moved to open the door to reveal a pony with a tray of tea and cookies.
Awesome!
The pink unicorn bowed slightly, “Tea, sir.”
“Thank you,” I said as Blue Dawn took the tray from her, “Just in time.”
She bowed again and slid the door closed, letting Blue Dawn carry the tray over to the table. Picking the teapot into my magic, I looked at Blue Dawn, “Want a cup?”
“Yes please, sir.”
Pouring us a cup each, I then picked mine up and looked out the window as I took a sip. Hmh, green of some sort. Not my favorite, but nice enough.
Didn’t recognize it though.
Thunk.
Turning my head, I looked over to see Blue Dawn collapsed onto the floor, the tea spilled next to her.
“What?”
Wy is my tongue fel nomb?
Deyatgge.
The room started to grow around me and then suddenly tilted sideways before darkening to black.
XXXXXXXXXX
Mhm.
The first thing I realized was that my head was killing me. Groaning, I forced my eyes open. I couldn’t see a thing other than faint lights, I couldn’t focus. What happened?
Groaning, I tried to move only to find I couldn’t. What.
What happened… the tea. Poison?
Blue Dawn! Closing my eyes tight, I then opened them again and blinked and things started to come into focus. Black glistening resin walls, faint blue glow and pillars holding up the ceiling.
Changeling Hive.
Looking to the side as much as I could turn my head, I could just about see Blue Dawn stuck to the same wall like I was.
Why would the changelings…
Movement. I turned my head to see a changeling move out from behind one of the pillars. She was tall with long blue hair, the crown antenna a bit longer than Chrysalis and if anything, she was a bit more gaunt than the more familiar queen.
Oh.
Oh shit.
As she approached, she smiled, revealing some very sharp fangs, “Welcome into my parlor, said the spider to the fly.”

Welp.
Oh shit.
Oh. Oh shit.
Oh. Oh. Oh Shit.
MOAR LUV BUGS!!! MOOOOM GET MNE THEM BUGSTER SPRAYS!!!
Okay now I know you've made page an idiot for the sake of the story...seriously even Chinese green tea isn't actually green.
Well, to quote my favorite psychopathic assassination droid "Prediction: This interaction is highly likely to result in a delightful display of unadulterated violence"!
Welp, that kinda prooves, that all changeling queens are arseholes.
What is it with weddings and Changelings? Do we need to put up a bug zapper around them or something?
You'd have thought this queen would have learned from Chryssie's mistake. Its not like this new hive can pretend to be him and not get Chryssie's hive's attention. Skitter is going to be PISSED!
Ok, that was kinda unexpected, but to be honest BP was tipping with changelings for too long, to not get noticed by other Queens.
NOW IS QUESTION: what this Queen want? To repeat Chrysalis move as farse, or to negotiate similar pact with strong hoof?
First is stupid, as Chrysalis and Skitter (and all changelings) will probably instantly recognize her.
I hope other hives or most of them won't be stupid and repeat what Chrysalis did. They would be better off with peaceful negotiations
Why they kidnapped Page?
Maybe they want peace but don't want their location discovered but they still want to negotiate with someone who brought peace with another hive before
Also, I hope it's not Royal Wedding v2 where Blank Page is replaced by a changeling, but that shouldn't work because changelings existence is known now and Chrysalis hive should detect that close one. Luna would also see that it'snot real Page straight away for many reasons, for example, dream walking, etc
Will you add Siansaar changelings?

Hang on, let's hear her out.
...Maybe this is how their hive greets foreign dignitaries?
And the complications have arrived
9824252
Matcha exists, and is actual green tea.
My spider sense was tingling the whole time, something was definetly off.
Keep your wits Page, she probably wants in on the deal. If not here is hoping you backed your piece.
(And by that i meant the Chakram....perverts.)
With such a cliché greeting the snark's coming full force next chapter, I can tell.
Right, because we need to make the season 6 finale work despite a semi-reformed Chrysalis. As others have said, this is going to go very poorly for the OC queen.
Should that be "their" usual, wheels being plural?
Do ALL Changeling Hives feed off of love or do they feed on other emotions, I remember a fanfic here on this site where one Hive feed on Lust and their hive was located out near Los Pegasus, so what Hive just ponynapped Blank Page and Blue Dawn?
And Chrysalis makes her move!
Ok but, my question is, where is the changeling guard that is constantly shadowing Blank Page? He even commented about them?
Blank: Lady, if you don't let me go right now, you will NEVER have a peaceful sleep ever again.
9824457
Yeah but is it common?
9824698
Had it last night.
9824698
Yeah? It's the common convenient-to-make green tea in Japan, as well as being one of the standard ceremonial teas.
"Hm. I give it three out of five, the changeling thing is becoming cliché around weddings. Good job with the kidnapping though."
"What?"
"Yeah, didn't suspect a thing. I'm curious about what you are hoping to accomplish here, though. Because as it stands, the only thing you'll manage is the destruction of your hive."
9824644
She's not Chrysalis, but some other Queen.
9824505
A lot of canon events wasn't a thing in PageVerse, like destruction of Tree Library, time battle of Starlight and Twilight etc. without any equivalents toreplace them, so this could be anything.
I believe that, this strange way of introducing herself by this Queen may have many reasons.
1) Pure caution - Page don't know location of hive and can't be danger right know.
2) Showing power - basicly Queen showed that she is stronger than Page, so he should listen carefully and respect her, generally changeling culture of "diplomacy", as ArtofWar stated above.
3) territorialism - in previous chapters it was suggested, that hives are territorial and generally warring between themself, so why this Queen should fully trust somebody, who clearly is friend of other hive.
And of course this Queen may has purely sinister intentions toward Equestria and/or Chrys-Skitt hive and this abduction is part of plan.
9824280
Wait, if all changeling Queens are arseholes, that mean that Skitter, when inheriting hive from Chrysalis, will instantly become b***h?
To short
Nice humor 
Damn... Page really need to step up his Security... Hes no longer somepony but a special one
War were declared.
Amber isn't on the wall, which means Amber wasn't caught, which means very, very angry backup is coming. Something about the full fury of the sun, moon, and magic. Good luck with that.
9824900
Eyup. From what we know, Amber wasn't caught, and that means the Princesses are coming, and probably bringing friends.
This is gonna end... several flavors of poorly.
they never seam to learn.
so any one have a bug zapper handy.
Well, it’s about time one of the other hives that Chrysalis mentioned all the way back after first getting captured actually put in an appearance! Okay, BP, I’m entirely blaming you for this -- if anypony at all ought to have been genre savvy enough to at least try to remember to follow up on that sometime (you know, just in case any of those other bunches of ninja shapeshifters out there who were already on less-than-great terms with Chryssie’s own got ideas about starting some mischief in Equestria), you’re it.
Okay, on reflection, Chrysalis probably already has a secret plan or three for this contingency (assuming she hasn’t been giving pointers to this new queen in the first place) because she just wouldn’t be the lovably ruthless everything-for-the-hive bug queen she is here if she didn’t. Be interesting to see how that plays out.
9824932
You mean the Season 4 finale that was replaced with a swordsplosion in Tirek's mouth, and the Season 5 finale that was replaced with Discord bringing in the pony currently known as Midnight Sparkle? That's the sort of replacement I meant, moreso the latter in a "Page accidentally the plot of this one, what do?" way.
9824086
“Time to die my little Fool!”
“You first vile temptress!”
......
Cut to them laying strewn about the bed, Nightmare smoking a cigarette.
“I have slayed the beast.” Page says with pride.
“Contentedly slayed I am.”
9824281
Weddings are when love emerges. So...it makes sense.
Saw it coming
AWWWW FFFFUUUUUCCCKKK.........
"No u.
Gottem."
The changeling queen looked confused.
Well, well crap.
Uhhu, what?
That first sentence had me singing a train version of 'the wheels on the bus go round and round' and I have no clue why. Lack of sleep maybe? -looks at time- 4 am, yep time to call it for the night.
I am pulling a Sparkle
Not realize that this particular fly is very poisonous and bites back
Not every Ling is a Snuggelbug
This one dont know to play nice. No booping, snuggeling, cuddles or nuzzeling for bad Queens
Let her try first to see if it’s poisoned!
Edit: No way I just called that…
How didn't Page see the Ling at that range?
Unless it was a mind manipulated pony.
Avoiding Pages revealing view range.
They know about Chrysalis Hive, but missed any benefit playing nice brings? Very sloopy!
Where are the ninja maids when you need them?
