Today has been horrible for the newly Crowned Chrysalis, her mother died. In the dark sanctums of the hive, Chrysalis walks into her new bed chambers, drained of love from supporting her new hive.
“I wish somepony could at least give us a chance.” She says to herself as she slips underneath her covers. She stops, there’s something under the covers. She sees what it is and smiles. This might be the chance she’s been looking for.

Side note: The description and the tags are vague. 'Cause I'm not to sure where the story's going my-self.

Lyra and Midnight are just your average ponies. Well, at least that's what want you to think. They don't even know each other, yet. Well, not personally, they were assigned to each other during high-school as pen-pals, yet they've never met face to face, they haven't even heard each-others voice or even seen a picture of the other. Midnight is a local singer in Ponyville. And, Lyra just lost her house in Canterlot due to financial reasons.
From a request by his old pen-pal, Midnight decides to take the unicorn in 'till she can get back on her hooves. But what will happen when they find out they've got the same issues.
Honestly, I doubt Celestia even knows.

P.S. First, I'm using this picture until I can find a better one, it doesn't mean Lyra's some wacked out ninja in the story... mostly. Also, the first chapter would've been shorter had it not been for the thousand word minimum. The chapters will usually be short. And, while it is third person, I will make each chapter follow 1 person at a time, and then make a separate chapter if they're together. Ok?
constructive Criticism is welcome.
