You poke your head out of the bathroom and search for the filly. "Chrysalis!" you call out to the young changeling royalty.
The little black princess (and soon-to-be queen) appears from around a corner and hovers over to you. She has a skeptical look on her face while she lands at the door in front of you. You invite her in and she accepts, looking around the bathroom. When she sees the bathtub, even though she didn't see inside it, she instantly knew what was going on.
Reacting quickly, you shut the door and lock it at speeds Rainbow Dash would envy. Chrysallis runs straight into the door after you move, causing her eyes to derp and her mind to become dizzy. She shakes it off and looks up at you, very unamused. She looks down and for the first time ever accepts her defeat (and so easily too!).
Satisfied with her presence, you pick up the changeling and walk her over to the tub. When you place her in, she makes a weird face as the water flows through the many holes in her body. She shivers a bit, and then becomes comfortable with her surroundings.
When all is set to start, you grab the shampoo next to you and apply some to your palm. You then proceed to lather the filly's dirty-blue mane. The hair has a weird feeling to it, almost buggish (go figure). When you reach the bottom of the mane, you notice the holes in the mane and wonder how it was even possible for them to exist. Once you realize that you are washing multiple technicolor ponies and relativity doesn't matter to any of them, however, you shrug it away and continue lathering. A minute later, Chrysalis' mane is sudsy and ready to rinse.
Picking up a handful of water, you bring your hands above Chrysalis and release the liquid over her head. She flinches at the warm water falling on her. You continue nonetheles for seven more handfuls. When you finish a moment later, the changeling's mane is nice and... clean? You couldn't really tell, because despite your efforts Chrysalis still looks like her mane was made up of old, moth-eaten fabric. You sigh and continue your job, despite the nagging voice in the back of your head that tells you to wash again just in case (you decide that it'll always look like that, no matter what. Good thing Rarity isn't here you think).
Now would be the time that you'd clean a foal's wings (if they had any), but considering Chrysalis' wings are those of a bug, you move onto her tail instead. Lifting her behind and instructing her to keep it there, you grab the shampoo again and squeeze some of the gel into your opposite palm. You lather her tail similar to the way you lathered her mane, including the little moment of wonder as to how her hair could have holes. Another minute and another soapy bunch of hair later, her tail is finished lathering.
Cupping your hands and filling them yet again with the bath water, you begin the second and final rotation of rinsing. Chrysalis watches you blankly as you pour palmful after palmful of water on her tail. Her tail only takes six rotations instead of seven, leaving her tail looking exactly as it looked before.
With the queen done sooner than most royalty (because of her buggy wings), you decide you'll lay back for a bit and treat the poor dear to some play time. You reach somewhere behind you and pull out multiple toys: army-men-like changelings (about twelve of them, which you had picked up at Toys S Us), a small house and miniature figures of the Mane Six (who she doesn't know at this time, but are ponies anyway so they'll work). You give them to the young royalty and she accepts them with a sharp smile.
Now that she finally had an army, she lined them up and gleefully prepared them for an attack.
The Mane Six were encircled by millions of changelings. All hope was completely lost, for Queen Chrysalis had won the battle and the war. Queen Crysalis laughed from overhead at her triumph. She ordered her army to attack now without mercy. Her minions followed her order, and the Mane Six were all easily thrown around, kicked, punched, and so on. When the pesky ponies were out of sight and out of mind, she sent her troops to destroy a nearby building. They followed, easily overtaking the weak structure, and even flipping it upside-down!
Chrysalis is laughing both evilly and cutely, a combination that could rarely ever be pulled off. The changeling looked to the sight before her with devious joy: the unnamed ponies were underwater and defeated, the house was upside-down and slightly beaten-up, and her little "minions" were smiling back at her, glad to help their superior.
What happened next, though, you never thought you'd see.
Chrysalis took all of her changelings in both arms (some she struggled with because they got into her holes) and brought them up in an embrace. She kissed some of them, a look of happiness and motherly love on her face. The changelings (obviously) didn't react to this, but you guessed that in her mind they were doing the same for her. The queen of the changelings loved her "babies".
You softly squee at the sight of the not-so-evil foal caring for her children. Never had you ever thought she felt so close to them, mostly due to how other people portray their relationship on the Internet. You leave the filly in the tub for a minute more before you unplug the tub and pull her out, a few changelings still in her hooves.
Grabbing the towel by your side, you wrap it around Chrysalis and start to dry her off, beginning with her mothy mane. When that's done, you move onto her torso and wings. While doing this, you can feel the indentations of her holes and get inside them to dry her internally, shivering slightly at the alien feeling. When that's done, you move onto her tail and hooves, which also have holes that you have to dry inside.
When all is finally done, you unlock the door and dismiss the changeling royalty. Chrysalis smiles at you smugly and brings along her changelings, leaving the other toys for you. You watch her exit and smile warmly at the sight before you.
It was then that you realized that even the evilest of beings felt love for their children.
Bah, Chrysalis should have been an immensely cute li'l grub!
So I guess she did dream about that day since she was small, what kind of filly but Chrysalis plans an invasion at that age?
1662971agreed.1662982i don't know.
very cute.....

1663278 Seems like someone can't handle the dawness.
So I've read each chapter so far.
I gotta say, this story isn't really anything too special.
Sure, it's cute at times.
But I just don't think it's that noteworthy.
Aww man, i missed it the second it came out D: I NEED TO STOP GOING TO SCHOOL, I NEED MOAR PONIES IN MY LIFE!
1662982
You mean kids don't normally plan the invasion of neighboring sovereign territories?
Huh. Guess that means our neighborhood was just a little more... ambitious than others.
Hey everyone guess what, this story has offically hit the feature box.
featured!
Aw, cute :)
How about Cadence or Lyra?
Quick nitpick: there's only one L in "Chrysalis."
Unfortunately, I don't have the time to read this now, but this is just an absolutely adorable premise. I'll keep this one on standby.
You should totally do Vinyl and Octavia.
1663273>>1663359 This isn't really supposed to be serious. If you don't like it, that's cool.
1663340 Um, by that first part you're talking to me, right? And if so, hey, I just HAD to use that line. Who wouldn't?
1663278 Is that a bad thing? If so, you can sign out at the front office.
1663318>>1663796 I'll fix those, thanks!
1663559>>1664069 Soon, my readers. Patience is a virtue...
1663380>>1663418 Hell yeah bitches! Feature party at Sugarcube Corner!
All I have to say in response to the end of this chapter... (Listen to the lyrics!)
The story has a bit of a point. A good number of stories from a Changeling's perspective involve the queen abandoning them. Then again, I've seen just as many where she actually does care for them, so it's really up for interpretation.
Yay! Best Pony Vinyl Scratch is coming soon!
1664223 I hope y'all like dubstep!
1664398
Always.
1664457
Skitt, have you been stalking me again?
I can't believe that I just read a fic that had a 2nd person nameless human give filly Chrysy a bath.
I always wondered what madness felt like. Now I know.
Yes! Best pony-bug finally appeared!
Dude, this is amazing. This is the cutest story I have ver read! I now want to take all the fillies and give them all baths!
throughout this story i kept asking myself why i was reading it...... then i realized i just couldn't look away.
the cuteness overloads earn you a thumb and favorite
Alright, the next filly would love to help you, but unfortunately she doesn't have hands...
1667825 Yay Lyra.
1668999 You failed after Yankees. That's why. (I'm a New Englander, so I'm a Sox guy).
No! She's evil!
Don't give in BronyCup!
Don't d'aww, don't d'aww, DON'T-

Anyways, this chapter I like it...
media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdqightXBN1rw5vzj.gif
You have to do CMC this time! With a co-op of RD, Applejack, and Rarity!
IF YOUever put a complete instead Of an incomplete I will commit sucide twenty times
1669683 They'll be soon, don't worry! Like I said before, I'm waiting for S3 E6, which is a Scoots episode. And AJ + BM will help with AB and Rarity will help with SB, but unfortunately, as much as I'd love to, RD won't help Scoots. They didn't know each other back then, so yeah.
1671419 Dammit! I keep missing that typo!
1669280 Well if Thor insists...
1670285 Uh, thanks? No really, glad you like it!
1671508 Mmmhmm okay. Btw, I saw this typo a while back with the Cake twins.
Next should be the great dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Vinyl_Scratch.png and dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Octavia.png .
1671590 They'll be soon, don't worry. But Tavi will be harder, though, so no promises on her. Vinyl, however, will be a bit easier.
1671622 I guess I can dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Rainbow_dealwithit.png and wait. dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Octavia_cake.png
1671633 Well, Lyra is next, and then maybe AB and then SB (both co-ops with their siblings), and then maybe those two (separately, unless I get like a million double-trouble requests, and then maybe I could make it happen, making them good friends since fillyhood)
Doctor Whooves requires a bath, he just ran through a mud puddle,
encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRu9OJa_yLZVDlxr7NtY_pdLbzNj5AkLBuiNQ_kOzedE-o8YgBvxg
1672393 More like SB and AB. They got dirty, whereas the Doctor never gets dirty. Anyways, I'm slowly becoming a Whovian (I'm still on season 3), so there will be a Doctor Whooves episode with references. References everywhere.
1672338 Yes.
1674332 Stop reading them, then. No one is forcing you to. This isn't supposed to be a serious fic, and I'd hate for you to hate me completely because you don't realize that. Really, I'd love it if people realized that this isn't supposed to be all that great, like MLD or Past Sins. If you don't like cute, for the love of Christ don't read a freaking story about bathing ponies! It's like this site has a bunch of half-wits or something.
i would ask for you to write about someone like NMM or pinkamenia but......:
Woah Random deep thought in the middle of an extremely simply light and cute story about fillies. That was a wonderful touch dear
Ciao
Have to say, when Chrysalis started playing Invasion, I was a bit disturbed, but when she hugged her freaky little changeling babies, I felt... well, still disturbed... but in a d'awww kind of way!
1663371
And I'm more ambitious than you all.
The world WILL be mine, and you will all BURN!
Oh, um, I mean...
The world WILL be mine, and my enemies will BURN?
Oh, but what to do with the roasted bodies... I suppose I could make it into cat food for my pet lions, tigers, cougars... Oh, and of course no evil overlord's palace would be complete without a shark tank...
-squees ovee Lil' Chrysalis

Moral of the Story: KILL ALL CUTE FOALS!!!
Why? Chrysalis was a cute foal. Chrysalis grew up to be an evil overlord. Therefore, cute foals grow up to become evil overlords.
Q.E.D.
Bathing the bad guys is so awesome, they're so cute! Chrysalis loves her children... d'aawww.
1749424 AHHHHHHHH!!!!

Probably shouldn't have picked such a cute little guy to display. That's a Spider-bro to if I ever saw one.
