T

Six months before the wedding of Cadence and Shining Armor, Spike meets the queen by chance. Taken aback by her quirks, Spike tries his best to become friends with her, to some success.
However, all things, good or bad, must come to an end, and Chrysalis's eventual actions at the wedding make that clear.

Spike has, in his hands, the ability to redeem this seemingly evil queen. Because... maybe she isn't as evil as everyone thought.

(Reluctantly toting the OC tag because of Chrysalis's disguise, and because of the fact that there will eventually be a true OC designed to help push the story along. AKA I didn't write the story around the OC, I wrote the OC around the story. I'm really paranoid about this pushing away potential readers, if you can't tell. ^^;)

(Character list have been further adjusted to mark what the story will become. The majority and focus of the story is the "encore", and, while it will have a "slice of life" feel, there will be important consequences to the actions taken; hence, it is an adventure.)

It seems promising, you need to separate your paragraphs and start a new paragraph when somepony is talking.

Please, make it longer.

2191113 Yeah. I realized about 5 minutes after I posted it that it was a bit rushed and disjointed. And at that point I was half asleep in bed. :twilightsheepish: Thanks for the feedback! I'll probably rewrite chapter 1 before I move on to chapter 2, so I hope you come back to read it when I do. :twilightsmile:

That is much better, and I will.

I really, really want you to keep this going because I've been working on something similar.
But I also believe you need to change your tags, or at least update them as the story progresses. Right now you have a Slice of Life and Romance thing going on; completely different from the description.

2204591 Thanks. Yeah, I was a bit confused about what tags to use; It pretty much maintains a slice of life feel through the entire story, but the overall effects of the plot suggest an adventure... I'll switch it to slice of life for now. But I am DEFINITELY not switching to romance. I don't want people to get the wrong idea about what Chrysalis and Spike's relationship is. :twilightsheepish:

Thanks for the feedback!

Friendship is beautiful.:moustache: Please, a new chapter.

I like it alot! Continue!!!

Aww..that is sweet of Spike wanting to befriend Chrysalis. However, I do feel kind of weary, because Chrysalis have that ability to make others feel sympathy for her, and then trap them in her hooves. I really hope Spike is careful. :moustache:

Haha..I can see that it is getting exhausting for Chrysalis talking to Spike. He is being a little annoying if i may admit, but still I like this little friendship is developing between the two. :pinkiehappy:

I can't really write anything deep, but I like this story.

I like this. keep going please

Hmmmmmmm, is the mare Chrysalis?

2233821 :ajbemused: Hey. Heyheyhey. Don't be guessing things. It ruins the plot.

Don't worry. You'll find out. Eventually. :twilightsmile:

2233842 Okie Ddokie Lokie!
Pinkie! where did you come from?
Well, when a Mommy pony and a Daddy Pony love eachother very much. they ha-
Pinkie!. RIght, no guessing. But I have my suspicions:unsuresweetie:

Spike don't forgot the book, don't out intentional, I say.:rainbowkiss:

I agree with the comment below me

Tell him what :fluttershysad: I NEED MOER :flutterrage: pwean :fluttercry:

Good chapter, i need more but take your time:moustache:

Something tells me the dung is about to hit the fans shortly. :applejackconfused:

I hate to say this, but my computer's being a bit buggy. So my family has made a decision to limit computer use to a bare minimum. So updates on here won't be too frequent for a short while. I'll be writing the chapters by hand, though, so getting them up afterward won't be a problem.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Computer fixed! Expect chapter 7 in the next two days.

This is an interesting plot you got going.

2289545 Thank you for the feedback! I hope I interested you enough for you to continue reading! :twilightsmile:

While I'm more of an action sort I'm liking this story and how Spike and Chrysalis bounce off each other.

Dragonfly the way you described her looks like a pretty mare. And yes, since you changed the colors, looks, and name It would count as an OC

Good job!! These were great! And they were only the prelude!! Holly shite! Leaves to wonder what the encore would be... Wait... Prelude... Encore?... You're going to skip over the wedding aren't you... Well Spike didn't really know chrysalis was the changeling queen... I mean it's not like he can put two and two together to reach the shocking conclusion that chrysalis attacked Cadance, harmed Celestia, and mind fucked Twilight... No... That could never happen... >.>

2294114 Don't worry. I wouldn't dare skip over the "performance."

I am looking forward to Act 2 of this story.

Sweet! I'm actually interested on how exactly Spike will react to this revelation. You've developed him differently then I've seen other authors do it. He's naive from a child's view point, he sees something dangerous, deadly even, and first thing he does is befriend it, yet still have that certain maturity where he has both the intelligence and understanding of an adult.
Oh this is gonna be good!!

So that was why he was not around ...

I am sad. Chrysalis, er, Dragonfly finally made a friend, one she can trust, but has to leave........

Very interesting. Say have you ever considered submitting this to Equestria Daily Here's how: null

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaah, this next chapter is going to be quite the huge one. I'd say don't expect it before monday.

You got a pretty good thing going here so far. Good grammar, spelling, blah blah blah, the boring stuff. Your premise is at least intriguing, as well, so props there to you. As for your writing style, the one critique I have is that you use lots of dialogue. That's most of what this chapter is, bub. Dialogue.

You are definitely writing, but this is developing kind of slowly. Just banter and yapping, and not much really happens. I did catch some foreshadowing, which was about as subtle as the show this is based on, so I guess you are doing that right. The way Chrysalis is acting just feels kind of weird though, but maybe that is an intentional plot device that you will incorporate nicely.

I find it hilarious that all changelings have their own Pony oc. Hopefully this one is a well designed one. (gee, I wonder how Chrysalis is going to develop into the character she was? Ancient spells? naaaaah)

If it's unnecessary, why even write it? If it adds certain details or insight into the story, why call it unnecessary? I'm sure this sequence will be important down the lane.

You shouldn't need to outright say what someone's tone is. Also, snarky and sarcastic are kind of the same thing (well, close enough anyway.) Just one of the words will do.

Besides that, you are definitely developing something interesting.

Yeah, uh, good development. You know. Still mostly dialogue, I am getting over that now though. You know, it's all good. Describing ponies by naming their element. That makes sense. You did some lampshading there too. Pretty stylish.:rainbowdetermined2:

I like your exploratory look here into the nature of changelings. Good insight into their magic, it's all consistent and stuff. Although. your depiction of Rainbow Dash just wasn't doing it for me. Just make it... cooler. It needs to be about 20% cooler.

Ha ocs, fuck that shit, I mean, it was Chrysalis disguising as ponies from the show before but a pony not from the show? Unthinkable. Nah, that aside it's all good still.
