[Copied from https://pastebin.com/CndZXCih] >You are Anon >You were drunkenly browsing the internet last week and found something of interest >slave ponies >They seem to have gotten common, a lot of people using them for everything from house work to whores >In your drunken state you decided it would be a good idea to pick up one for yourself >not that your funds could afford it >or so you thought >After some browsing you found one just within budget, though you might have to sacrifice a few nights of drinking to get it >It looks pretty edgy though, black skin, sanded off fangs >fucking holes in its skin >You didn't know what it was, but it was cheap, the ad said there was a surplus of them, but they aren't easy to take care of >fuck it what could go wrong >today is the day however, the 'adoption' van pulled up in front of your house not 2 minutes ago >You answer the door and are greeted by an overly friendly delivery guy >fat, official uniform, silly baseball cap, and shorts no man should wear >You look down to see the creature at his side, it has a muzzle over its face, and shackles, using the holes in its legs for extra security >odd, probably painful, the chubby happy fellow didn't seem to care, just getting your signature and leaving you with....it >what gender is that thing even >no matter, you have a thing, plus someone to help with your little side projects >maybe, it looks weak >after a moment you realize the door is still wide open, you shake your head to clear the thoughts from your head and look down at the black creature below you >is its skin shiny? its got a fucking exoskeleton like a bug! >cool "Uh, hey..step in so I can close the door >resulting in a hiss >you tug the leash and it lazily follows you inside >You carefully tug your new slave into the house and over to the couch >You take a seat and look at it curiously for a moment before leaning down and very slowly removing its muzzle "So..uh..what are you?" >The thing shakes its head and stretched its mouth >Oh god its mouth can open way wider then it looks like it should >You take note that there were clearly two good sized fangs that have been cut and shaved down to nubs >ouch >It stares up at you with its blue eyes, you cant tell exactly where its looking, or if it can see for that matter >"Hungry" it hisses out, its voice, while, disturbing, is weak, and pitiful (imagine chrysalis in her season 2 voice, but higher pitched and a lot more quiet) >You blink and nod, standing up and walking towards the kitchen >The changeling just kinda stares at you as you leave >You look around your house, you aren't the biggest fan of salads, but vegetables can make good additions to food >So you just throw some random things together, lettuce, tomato, a bit of oil, and other vegetables in the fridge >and a cut up apple that's probably a bit old, but still edible >When you return you see it on the couch "wait, how did you.." >It buzzes its strange wings at you and stares at the food in your hands >You approach and offer it the bowl, it stares for a minute before immediately digging in >making a mess of half chewed bits all over its face "Heh..you got some.." >You reach down to wipe its face >It hisses and reels away, taking the bowl with it >you chuckle and lean back in your seat to watch >When its done it looks up at you with a look of confusion, but content >"Thank you..human..it wont fill me, but I'll live" "Uh, you want more, I don't care t-" >it cuts you off "You don't know what I am do you" >You pause and lean over, carefully taking the bowl from it and walking to the kitchen Yelling you reply "Well, you look like a pony, but you have a cool skin like a bug" >There is a loud huff from the living room "So, I assume you're some form of sentient being" >Absolutely no response, you poke your head through the doorway and look, seeing the changeling looking at you with a deadpan stares, the kind of stare that says 'u wat m8' >With a chuckle you put the bowl in the sink and come back in "Seriously, what are you though" >It leans forward facing you, staring into your soul with those huge blue orbs, and a light hiss from its voice >"I'm a changeling" >You give no response and shrug >It grunts "We're a mighty army of parasites who will eat every drop of love your planet has!" it goes to wave its arms in a spooky manner, but only manages to lift them to its mouth "Uh huh..good luck finding enough here...So, a changeling, uh, army..you buzz and have a carapace" >It head tilts curiously looking at you "Like a bee...hopefully you work as well as one.." >"Bees are bugs..we are..changelings! We follow our queen and conquer beasts like you!" its chains rattle as it points at you "Doesn't look like your queen did a very good job" >It suddenly hisses violently and starts to struggle, tripping over the chains and jumping at you, biting at your face and punching at you the best it can >You instinctively block your face and push at it to get it off "HEY! OFF ME NOW!" You tell angrily >It keeps hissing in rage as it slaps at you, the chains pulling painfully at the holes in its legs, but it refuses to let up >You feel something wet hitting your face as you roughly shove at the changeling, finally pushing it off you "What the hell did I say?!" >It covers its face and turns away from you, the hisses turn into a hiss-sob noise >Well, fuck "Hey....I'm sorry okay?" >It pushes you off and hisses "DON'T EVER TALK ABOUT MOM LIKE THAT!" >Wait, mom? >You blink a few times and slowly approach it from behind >Putting your hand on its shoulder, it slaps you away "Okay, I wont talk about your mom" >Tugging it back softly, you turn it around and sit, the hard skin hurt, but only bruises thankfully >painful bruises "Okay, look, I forgot I even bought you, so lets try to make this easy as we can alright?" >The changeling hisses and wipes its eyes, staring up at you >You look as it lifts its hoof and notice something "You've got green on you" >It looks down and whimpers softly, looking at its chains >The shackles, being made for humans who don't have them grinding on holes in their legs have managed to crack the carapace pretty badly in a few spots >You reach to the side table, taking the envelope that came with your..purchase...and open it, getting the key out. >It takes some fiddling, and some struggling from the confused changeling, but you get the shackles off >leaving the collar on of course "There..feel any better? I guess that's your blood right?" >It turns its head away, but nods "Then lets get you fixed up okay? That way we can talk this out. " >As much as you want to punch the shit out of the little fucker, you're still human, and fighting wouldn't accomplish anything >You stand up and brush yourself off, leading the way to the bathroom >the changeling limps behind you, you look back just to make sure it isn't trailing blood or having trouble keeping up "get in the bath tub and help me out here" >It nods and steps in, the higher up wall of the tub making it carefully lift itself up one leg at a time >You think you see a slit, but most bugs kind of have plates there anyway >"Sorry" It looks up at you as it takes a seat in the tub, getting its green blood on the bottom >That's gonna stain, fuck >You just nod in response and grab some tweezers, gauze, a big of anti biotic ointment, and some medical tape "I don't really know what I'm doing here, so work with me, its probably going to hurt" >It huffs "I'm a warrior, nothing new here" it puffs out its chest trying to act tough >You take a seat on the toilet and take its hoof into your lap, looking it over, looks like the crapace was broken like glass ina few places inside the holes >So you pick the bits out, seems logical, though you're not that easy on it >it winces and whines softly in response to each tug, but doesn't fight back >If you were doing something wrong it'd speak up right? "So..does this grow back? >"It takes a while, but yeah..probably going to take forever unless you learn to be a bit nicer to ponies" >cocky little bitch.. "Hey, I'm a melting pot of friendship damn it" >The changeling huffs looking at you >You reply by yanking a bit of the broken bits out >It hisses and yanks away, holding the hoof "Yeah nicer!" >Quickly, you return to picking the bits off before you focus n the next step "Okay, this is going to sting, but work with me here, it'll help stop your bleeding" >Nodding, the changeling looks away and bites its lip while you carefully rub the ointment into the wounds >There are grunts and hisses of pain, as expected >When all is said and done, you have a bandaged up bug pony sitting in your tub "Okay, I helped you, now you help me" >Reaching under the sink and putting the first aid away, you take out a cloth and a bottle "Clean your mess" >"Hey, not MY fault you got me angry" "How so, you were the one who started beating me" >"yeah and YOU insulted my mo-Queen!" "Clean it" >"fine" It tries to take the bottle and cloth, but drops them into the floor >You grunt and spray the blue liquid onto the green stains for it >It angrily starts rubbing the stain away with its bandaged up hooves, wincing in pain every once in a while >Well, fair is fair, you need to clean a bit off the carpet anyway. >After the blood removal process is complete, you sigh and stand up, gently pushing on your back, popping it >There is a loud gag from behind you >Spinning quickly around, you see the changeling staring at you with a look of horror >"Y..you just.." "what?" >"doesn't that hurt?!" "no, not really, it feels good" >"ew" there is a visible shutter that makes a rather strange clatter noise like paper plates rubbing against each other >You look down at the changeling, observing its carapace and wings "You're not that clean,want a bath?" >It holds up the wounded hoof "Not eactly" "rag bath?" >"sure" it sighs "Answer some questions for me and we can okay?" >There is a hesitant nod from the changeling and it makes its way back to the bathroom >You follow behind and sit down on the edge of the now cleaned tub, taking some rags from the shelf, one is soaked in water, the other is soaked in soapy water >The changeling glares at you, but hesitantly makes its way over, sitting down in your lap >You carefully start rubbing over it, feeling each of the strange joins, and around its wings "So, first, what are changelings, biologically?" >The changeling sighs looking back at you "really?" "yeah" >"we're like ponies, but, uh, parasitic...We feed on their love and take the forms of their kind" "Interesting, so, like spies, that each pony emotions" >"basically" It feels over its stomach "That's why we're all so skinny" "Makes sense I suppose. I mean, being in slavery.." >It grunts "Anyway, take the shape of ponies so we cant infiltrate and feed on their love. we PLANNED on trying it here. That's why we left the safety of our hive" "it didn't work did it" >"turns out we can't turn into whatever you are" >You nod and look it over, watching its movements, and avoiding touching the delicate looking insectoid wings >The changeling chuckles "We aren't delicate, I'm a warrior drone ya idiot" "How was I suppose to know" You give it a light bonk on the head, which is responded with a tail flick across your face >That's not suppose to hurt but it feels like a damn whip "Cut it out, smack me around any more and I'll make you into a gardener" >"You wouldn't" "try me" >It grunts and looks back at you with a disdainful look "Okay, next question. whats your name" >"huh? oh..we don't really get names..." "Why?" >"On a bad day our queen produces 30 eggs" >oh >well then "That explains the surplus" >"The what?" "You were on sale.." >"ON SALE?" It huffs and looks away stiffening its chest, again trying to puff it out "I suppose I could call you Ling, for changeling" >"That's very impersonal" "You can deal with it. " >"better then a number I guess" "A warrior shape shifter..that's something else you know..very unique" >"eh, kinda common in our hive.." There is a hint of sadness to the voice that rings with you, realizing what you were dealing with here "You miss it don't you ma..gi..What are you" >"You just asked me that" it turns giving you a glare "Nono, I mean, what are you, a boy or a girl" >"You're kidding right? you cant tell?" It seems disgusted,or angry with you. maybe a bit offended. "Not really, no" >"I'm a female. We're all females. " "ALL females? " You asked curiously while you scrub away some old dirt from the wing. >Originally you though it was going to be like a flies wing and breakable, but as you clean you realize they are about the same as a coke bottle >neat >"Sort of, we can..change..should we need to, but, that really isn't needed if Chrysalis fi-" >She cuts off and look away "I shouldn't be explaining this" "Why not? It seems like something kinda important" >"yeah, but, its embarrassing okay?" She grunts and buzzes her wings at you "I'll find out one day" You joke and give her head a small pat >She purses her lips and just huffs at you "So I guess that means you're born from an egg right?" >"yeah, pretty much. uh, we hatch when we can stand up. Then raised in a nursery" >You consider this fact. While they are kinda scary, they are also kinda cute. It would be interesting to see young ones "So you feed on love right?" >"yeah" "how?" >She puts her hoof to her chin, thinking "Well, now that's a complicated question. Uh, the queen knows, but I'm not allowed into her thoughts" "Her thoughts, you telling me you can ready minds now?!" >You stop scrubbing her and stare at her >"Ha! Of course not, that'd be silly. No we just have a telepathic communications system between us. Warriors connected to warriors, nurses to nurses, and the Queen all the hive!" She extends her hooves in an eager and happy motion "oh, like Aliens" >"what?" "You Aliens its..a movie" >She just gives you a blank stare "A slide show" >again with that piercing blank stare, its making you uncomfortable. You quickly slap the wet rag without soap onto her and start scrubbing to distract her "ANYWAY. About the love, do you have to only feed on love?" >"no, love is just the most filling" She turns around and is met in the face by the rag as you rub her face clean >She sputters and spits and you just laugh at her suffering >"we..pffft..eh, ew, nasty!" she swaps your hand away, hitting her own injury and making her wince >"we feed on anything. Love, hate, anger, depression, Love is just the tastiest and most filling. Hate is spicy. Depression is bitter" "You've been feeding on me haven't you" >"You know it." "That's disgusting" >"and I'm hungry" "So, continuing with the love thing" >She takes the rag away from you and slaps in to your face >You grunt and grab it back, holding it out of her reach "Do you HAVE to shape shift to eat the love" >She shakes her head >"we passively eat emotions all the time, even from each other" >"though it isn't ever filling" she makes a motion towards her horn "Since we're sharing feelings all the time anyway" >you lean in and boop her nose, making her flail her arms and fall back in surprise "Have you ever even felt love?" >Ling goes quiet, laying on her back and looking up at you >"no" "never" >"I was born only a few weeks before we tried to infiltrate Earth" "What? How old are you" >She shrugs "Lost count" "oh.., maybe we should give you a birthday. If you were born a few weeks before your kind entered Earth, you're probably around 2" >She just nods "I guess" "What about the normal food you ate before" >"Helps keep my muscle build. Emotions for energy, physical food for build mass" >Oh yeah, shes a warrior, she knows about working out and stuff "Maybe I'll use you as my personal trainer" You tease >"That's quit backwards ya know" >This time its your turn to shrug >Ling chuckles and sits back up, looking herself over >nice and shiny now, like a shined up black card >Pretty even >You stand and take ling into your arms, wiping her off with a dry towel and carrying her back to the living room "Anything I can do to help your leg?" >"eh, not really. I just need to molt" "Like a lobster?" >"Yep. exactly the same actually." She looks at herself and at her leg "Too bad, I havn't shined like this for a long time" >You roll your eyes and pick up her old shackles and paper work "You don't plan to be a pain in my ass do you?" >She leans back into the couch and looks at him, rolling her eyes >"Why would I? If you want to keep me alive, you have no choice then to let me feed off you, and honestly, anythings better then" She shivers "going back to that place" "Well, truth be told. I understand" >You sit down beside Ling holding her shackles and paper work "But they also left me some special instructions." >Flipping through the papers you put down a set of recommendations >Pretty simple, but important >Keep her shackles and chained unless necessary to let her off >Do not allow her to be outside unattended >Always keep her on her leash >ect, ect prisoner type rules "Basically, they claim you're dangerous" >Ling blinks as she reads the paper "they make me sound like a psychopath" "You invaded Earth" >"We couldn't find the ponies, it wasn't much of an option" "Humans don't care, I mean,w e enslaved you for goodness sake" >"I suppose, but...we only fought in self defense, After canterl-" >She grips her head and grunts "I've said too much.." >You look at Ling and blinks some, gently touching her side "Hey, are you alright" >"Chrysalis is trying to tell me to shut up.." "it hurts?" >"no but it feels like shes yelling...I think I made her mad" "Well you tell her I'm too lazy to pick a fight with a queen of a species" >"I can't talk back to my queen!" >she grunts again and bites her lip >Finally she replies "Okay, okay" She looks up at you concerned >"She doesn't trust you" "She shouldn't" >You spend some time with the changeling, leaning back on the couch in the quiet as she goes into some kind of concentration “What are you doing?” >“As long as the queen and I can think about each other. We are connected. I’m talking to her” “Even though that portal thing closed?” >“yep. Mind over matter as she always said.” “That pretty neat..but..I‘m kind bored” >“what kind of things do humans do?” “Remember what I mentioned about Aliens? Well we’re going to watch it” >She looks up at you interested, then brings her gaze around the room “I don’t see a slide projector though” “it’s a different kind of slide” You smirk while you make your way over to the movie rack “think…really fast” >You find the Alien movies pretty easily, being alphabetically organized, and pile the three on top of each other “If what you’re telling me is true, then one of these movies may remind you of yourself” >Popping the DVD, special edition of course, into the player, you go to the kitchen while it plays through the opening sequence >Ling is impressed, staring at the screen, not even into the movie yet and absolutely blown away >She plants herself in place while you make the glorious buttery popcorn >Ling leans forward into her seat >Completely focused on the TV while you make your popcorn >POP POP POP >She screams out and jumps back looking around in panic >You gasp and rush into the living , only to see Ling curled up under a cushion, her horn sticking out making her obvious “Uh, Ling, its okay..” >She gulps and slowly pokes her head out “I heard the things again” “Uh, what?” >“the things, from…when they started catch-” She gulps “Catch? You mean catching you?” >She just nods >Oh….what kind of weapon sounds like popcorn? >Well you did hear that the black ponies put up a fight >Now you understand what the black ponies were >You walk over and slowly take her chin into your palm “I thought you were a big hard core super spy” >she grunts quietly, wiggling deeper into the couch > “w..well yeah..of course I am…” >“but..sometimes I get spooked” >You roll your eyes and carefully pluck her from the cushions, patting her head “Its just popcorn, don’t worry” >She looks suspiciously at you, but sees your eyes, sincere and understanding >Ling slowly comes out of the cushions and sits on top of the couch >Geez you hope she doesn’t respond that badly to the movies >After retrieving the buttery goodness from the microwave, you plop down beside the spooked little changeling and smile over at her “Movie and popcorn, trust me, it’s the best” >She just nods and scoots a little closer to you >You offer out the bag and, confusingly enough, she can grab the popcorn with her hoof >the hooked part of her hoof makes a neat scoop >You watch her eat but realize you forgot a serious question >Those fangs >or….were they even suppose to be fangs? >You press play on the movie and it begins with the slow intro of the ship “so, uh. I have a question” >Ling looks up to you and head tilts >Oh god that’s cute >Lings confused head tilt turns into a gentle smile >Those bright blue eyes staring up at you >Oh god >“Yes?” “What’s up with those?” >You give one of the fangs a poke >She jerks her head away and grunts >“don’t touch” >You shrug >“I USED to have two amazing fangs, big white and always sharp” >You blink and lean down to look >Her breath is strangely sweet >Like, roses and chocolate sweet “oh..yeah..looks like they were broken?” >She scoffs and shakes her head “Of course not! I wouldn’t be so stupid!” >“Those other humans, the ones with the guns and whips, I bit one” >You blink and lean back, looking at her mouth and remembering it can stretch kind of far >“so they….hit me…with a metal rod, then stomped pretty hard, said I wasn't good enough for the snips“ >She sighs softly and looks down, touching her stubby fangs >“Of course they brought me to some kind of electrical stone grinder and held my head down to it” >Holy shit she’s tough, she isn't even flinching at the memory “Hold on, you‘re telling me they did that, but you aren't even bothered“ >“…..Why would I? I have memories of worse happening “ >Hm….must come with the territory of shared minds… “You remember what other warriors have seen?” >She nods “You get used to things like that, but, humans are..the worst” >cant deny that “But scared of popcorn?” >“It took me by surprise!” “okay okay” >You rub her head playfully and she gives a hiss “Why’ve you been so nice anyway?” >“why not? I mean, I can’t really lose much by cooperating, but I can loose it all by fighting” >She takes in a breath, going in to lean on you, but her head moves back and she ends up leaning into the couch >“Its only logical” >and so, you see the movie actually begin >She stares at it “Wow. Moving pictures..” >They’re on the wake up scene >Ling is now into it >“I know humans are dangerous. But you can fly through space and sleep for years?” >You think about that >the Equestrian fights did advance some technology, even helping with electric cars >At the cost of weaker unicorns >So no, not much has advanced “No, not really, I mean, we can send stuff into space, but we can barely make it out of our own solar system, much less that far” >Ling presses her flank into you as she stares at the screen >“Solar system? I HEARD of some places orbiting around the sun..is that true?” >You nod and chuckle, patting her head >She recoils with that same hiss “Yeah, our planet circles the sun” >“Wow….the pony princess always did that for us..” “wait, control over the-” >She cuts you off and waves her hoof in your face >You look up >They’re hearing the transmission >“shhhh! They saw something!!” “Heard” >“whatever” - >You are a human with a black bug pone beside you >That must mean you’re Anon >Ling, your new changeling friend is intently watching the movie >With nothing all that scary going on, she is contently leaning forward >But in comes the most important scene >The Space ship. >She stiffens as she sees the eggs, then turns to you >“Those eggs, if they were a different color, they’d look just like..” >She trails off and goes back to watching the movie >The Alien jumps from the egg! >She gasps out and looks at you >“N..never mind, they aren’t.. is..he okay?” >You shrug, not wanting to spoil anything for her, instead opting to let her watch herself >You chuckle and motion back to the TV >She doesn’t respond much, too into it, even the cutting of the face huggers leg only makes her gasp >That is until the chestburster >She sees the human start seizing and her eyes go wide “Oh no..” >Oh yes.. >“OH NO!” She cries out “What DID it do!” >She gags and runs out of the room upon seeing it burst out. >You pause the DVD and chuckle to yourself, following her >Wait if she eats love…you’ll need to see this after she leaves the bathroom “I guess that was a bit much” >Poor ling is hanging over the toilet gagging “Hey, was that a bit much?” >She looks back at you, eyes wide >“that was disgusting!” “Its not real Ling” >“It LOOKED real though!” >You walk over and crouch down next to her “Trust me, it wasn’t” >She wipes her mouth with her forearm and groans >“Is there anymore like that?” “Well, a few scenes, I can warn you about them so you can look away though” >“Yeah that’d be nice...I mean…it just….popped out” >You laugh and gently touch her back, between her wings “I know…..pretty spooky stuff. Especially when I first saw it” >You wait for her to step to the side before glancing into the toilet >Well, there’s the obvious of what’s he ate before, but, oddly enough there was some bits of black in it >She didn’t look worried so you’re sure its fine >Flush >Gently you take her hoof and lead her back to the living room “I’ll warn you when it shows up so you can look away okay?” >She just nods and sits back down beside you >Her body is pressed firmly against you >Kind of cold, but…also..not that bad >You look down at the little changeling and slowly warm your arm around her as you press play again >She watches, looking away when you warn her, but as things progress, you can tell it’s a bit too scary for her >Everything’s just too real >Hell was she even REALLY a warrior, acting like this? >She even makes the comment that she didn’t trust the cat >Nobody trusts the cat >“Oh no..watch out Dallas” She whimpers, putting her hooves to her chin >Upon seeing him taken into the vents, she bursts into tears, holding onto you for dear life >“H..he knew he’d die Anon! That’s why he didn’t let Ripley go!” >She is bawling as she holds onto you, mumbling something >You can’t make it out behind the whimpers and crying though >So all you can do is pet her ‘Shh...its okay..” >She looks up at you “That was so great of him..” >During the rest of the movie, she is less inclined to crying, but is pressed very firmly into you, the other deaths not really bothering her as much >But you can see she is obviously upset by some of them >At first she didn’t know how to react to Ash being a robot >But she was soon cheering for Ash’s death >“Yah! That’s what he gets for lying!” >She even called Lambert annoying >10/10 little Changeling knows what’s up >Naturally seeing Dallas again got her into hysterics again and tears >The only solution for which is hugs and petting >Seeing her not hissing at you at all, you get an idea >You carefully tug her up into your lap and hold her to your chest, slowly moving your hand down her back >Her little wings buzz somewhat contently in response to it “There, there, keep watching, we’re almost over” >“this is terrible, absolutely horrible” She whimpers “You like it don’t you” >Ling sniffles and nods “Its horrible….he did all that but then SHE had to kill him....” “More?” >“yes please” - >You are cuddled into a humans lap >You taste something sweet and delicious even though you’re eating popcorn >Also your legs have holes in them >That probably means you’re Ling >Or a really fucked up pony >No definitely Ling >You press your back firmly into the human who adopted you >While you didn’t particularly like cuddling a human, but he tasted pretty good. >Maybe he isn’t so bad, especially since in this form you didn’t scare him >Actually it didn’t scare many humans, as much as you try >Oh yeah, there’s a movie on, better watch it, Anon seems to like it >But at this point you aren’t sure how much more you can take, this stuff is terrifying! >You’ve seen war >Well, some of it >And there were some serious booboos there! >You couldn’t handle those either.. >That’s probably why they let you get captured.. >Well you tried >And Moth--the Queen did her best to comfort you >but she had to retreat.. “Hey, Ling.” >You look up and then back to the movie >“Oh, sorry..” >You let out a soft giggle, but turn your attention back to the movie at hand >By now the main character >Ripley you think >She was arming some kind of explosive or something >You had never seen such a thing, but if it could blow up that WHOLE ship, boy are you glad you haven’t! >You watch as she goes to escape >“Wait! Don’t forget the kitty!” >There is a chuckle from above you >Then another couple hundred in your head >One is particularly loud >You don’t dare back talk that one though >When its all over you sigh happily and stare at the TV >“She made it” >Wait >PANIC >IT GOT ON THE SHIP! >OH NO! >You wave your hooves at the screen >Anon grabs your sides to calm you >Not that it helps, Ripley is in trouble! >You whine and gasp out seeing her plan >Yes..Yes YES! >You grab onto Anons shoulders laughing and jump up and down on his lap >He grunts and tries to stop you >seems that hurt >Oh well! >“She did it! Anon she won!” >Your hooves hurt, but who cares that movie was AWSOME >If a bit spooky >Anon chuckles and pets your head, you hiss at him warningly as you have done before >You can’t admit you like it >Of course Chrysalis is right there to remind you that you DO like it >Damn it >In the back of your head you hear multiple snickers and chuckles “Yep, Ripley won, but now she’s floating in space” >Your black face goes pale >Or….. Dark grey >“W..will she be okay” “There’s two more movies. Want to find out?” >You go to nod, but then remember the deaths >Those were nasty, you aren’t sure if you can handle them >And Dallas >Poor Dallas…he reminded you of.. >You whimper softly and press your face into Anons shoulder >Anon just smiles down at you and pets your head >You feel his emotion change slightly >There’s the love, though its more unconditional, similar to what the Orange pony with the funny hat gave her dog >Father affections >And a hint of something >Mistrust maybe, you can’t tell. Its spicy though “Ling, you don’t have to watch them right now” >You just nod and look up at Anon >“thank you.” >He looks down at you and smiles “For?” >“Being so nice..” >Anon flashes you that smile >Gosh, that smile is REALLY nice >He sits you down and pats your head >Hisssss >Though you can practically hear multiple others of your family begging to be in your place >Now you know why you get so many headaches >Why can’t they shut up >Anon cuts you from your thinking “Well, lets go get some dinner first and then you can do my laundry” >“huh? Laundry?” “You messed up my Shirt Ling” >Oh..that >You look at his shirt, there’s a mix of your blood from earlier, and some tear from you >At least he didn’t yell at you about it.. >“s..sure..I guess..” >In the kitchen you follow him and look around >All this human stuff looks complicated.. >He doesn’t seem to mind though, instead getting quickly to work >“I..um…you know I don’t HAVE to” >He leans town, poking your nose with a blunt object >Oh sweet Chrysalis that’s a knife sharpener! >Anon wouldn’t hurt you, right?! >There is a loud, angry hiss from the back of your head >He looks into your big blue eyes and smiles “Hey, don’t be so tense, I know. But I’d feel better if you eat” >Oh thank goodness >The hissing calms down as you do >Momma Chryssy’s got your back “Now, how about a salad for you?” >You can’t think of anything else so you not >He motions holding a knife to the fridge “Get me all the vegetables from the fridge, there isn’t much, and if you see anything you want to drink, grab it” >You just nod and make your way over >Carrots, Cabbage, Lettuce, tiny tomatoes, cucumber, and something that looks like a vegetable but is hard >You grab it anyway >Anon looks through what you grabbed and begins chopping and washing things >You notice him look at you funny as he takes the strange hard vegetable and suddenly pops it in half! >Oh, there’s an onion inside “You like onion?” >Of course, you don’t each much in the way of actual food, but not wanting to be rude you just smile “Never had it!” >He nods and chops off a tiny bit, holding it out to you >You sniff it, then take it into your mouth >He suddenly yanks back his hand >He lets out a second surprised noise and grabs his arm >You didn’t bite him did you? >Oh you hope not >He'd punish you for sure >Wait, Anon is holding his arm though not his finger “Agh, damn it Ling, look what you made me do, don’t surprise me like that!” >You see red >Oh no he’s bleeding! >You rush over as if on instinct >There are a couple of the voices in your head, some screaming to not interfere, others telling you to help him and quickly >Your own is practically drowned out as the voices of your brothers and sisters NOT busy right now speak up to share their feelings on this >They are all suddenly hushed though >Chrysalis grabs hold of your mind >awkward >“Help him” she says “You’re trained for it are you not?” >Of course you are! >You grab his arm and practically slam him into the table >Silly human never expected it! >He winces “Hey Ling what the hell?” >You don’t let him respond, instead getting to work >Wet towel, pressure, and something to wrap it >you hold him in place with his arm awkwardly above him as Anon sits on his knees in the floor, arm on the table >You wrap his arm up in the nearest towel and dig through a drawer >it takes you a second but you find it >The mighty life saver >Ever since you came to this planet you’ve seen it used in many ways >Duct tape >You wrap his arm up securely >Pressure on the wound >Check >Bandaging clean and secure >Yep! >it’s a small puncture wound so, not much else needed to be done? >Nope its all good! >You smile at your work and let out a hiss “all better!” >Anon stares at you in disbelieve >At first he looks angry >Oh no >You gulp >His looks slowly softens as he inspects your work “That’s really good for a fighter Ling” >You start to smile “Really quick thinking....” >Anon’s face turns to one of contemplation >He’s thinking >And you just reviled your power level >You stand above the changeling now >Confused, and in a bit of pain >But also very interested >You just fed your little Ling a bit of onion to see if she liked it >Apparently she did because she latched right onto you >Didn’t bite, but she did spook you >So you reeled back, and, in your own foolishness, sliced into your own arm >You’ve always seen movie soldiers, the nitty gritty kind who know what to do and how to do it >They’re often pretty good with medic work >But work slower than the actual medics who have experience >The medics are like lightening >Like your new changeling >You lean down to Ling and show her your arm “Where did you learn this?” >“I..its.. standard practice for fighters” >You grunt “Well, of course, but you acted like an expert” >You can practically hear her gulp “I’m impressed, but.. where did you really learn this” >Ling looks very uncomfortable, she looks up at you and quickly runs off >There is a loud slam and you shake your head >Following the sound you see the spare bedroom is shut >Instead of prying her for further information you decide to go to your bedroom >Internet is best source of knowledge these days >You turn on your computer and search up for any information of captured changelings >You find some pretty simple but important facts >Currently, according to humans, there are 4 tiers of changeling >All but one look the same >Medic, Warrior, Drone, Queen >Queen is obvious, Ling called her mother >Warrior and Medic also are obvious, they’re meant for war >And Drones, who handle day to day life and fill in for warriors if need be >The source for the info is more discouraging >Some of those research centers everyone talks about >More like prisons and autopsy buildings “She has to be a medic” >You shake your head and google ‘changeling medic’ >Now this is what you needed to know >Medics are highly sought after, most of them retreated when the changelings begun to loose the small skirmishes >The captured ones..turns out they had something extra >All changelings seem to share an ability to spit some kind of green goo >Medics though, they had some kind of ability >Actually it was pretty neat >They could build cocoons and shit and were really good with natural herbs >They seemed to be the best for anything from baby sitting to full on emergency room work >Worth a lot of money >well, fuck. >You get back up and look back at your arm >Its well bandages...with your favorite towel >Son of a bitch.. >You march your way to the spare room, knocking a few times >No answer >You turn the knob >SUCCESS >You look around the room with a stern glare “Ling?” >You don’t see her “Ling where are you?” >You hear a small hiss then a squeak as she covers her mouth >You look up >She’s upside down on the ceiling >Dude wat >“D..don’t send me away master” >You raise a brow as you approach under her “You’re worth a lot of money” >She whimpers “Don’t send me away! I’ll starve!” >You open your arms “Why would I send you away?” >She gulps “You know why” >You shake your head “They wouldn’t pay me full price anyway, you’re injured” >She blinks and looks at her hooves >Then to you >“really?” with a dead pan confused look “Well, that, and I like you” >She blushes >“I like you to” >You just nod “Now get down here” >She doesn’t move “That’s an order” >She gulps and lets go of the ceiling >How did she even- >No time to think >Oof! >She falls right onto you and you squirm around under her >For a moment Ling stares at you in a daze >She gasps out and scrambles off of you making you wheeze as you take in a breath >Human body does not like bug pone on lungs >Ling stares at you as you sit up, with her wide, scared eyes >“S..so what are you going to do to me” >You shrug “Well all you did was lie to the slave auctioneers, I don’t care about your. Specialty” >She looks away >You can see something is making her uncomfortable >“Y..yeah, but Mo…Queen Chrysalis told us not to tell them what we do” “So you went with warrior?” >“Well I’m not a queen” >Fair “How did she know what they wanted?" >“She guessed they’d take advantage of our natural abilities” “Such as?” “Putting warriors to hard work, Medics to heal /them/” >The way she says that makes a shiver shoot down your spine “Se wasn't wrong, smart thinking on her part” >Ling suddenly beams at you “The smartest!” >You pat Ling on the head and lead her to the near by bed >She watches you until she’s invited up >Then she hops up beside you “Yeah.. about this queen” >“Chrysalis” “Whatever.. Look.. if she’s ..all the way in wherever you come from, how can you be talking to her?” >“Well, like I said, mind over matter” “But.. why doesn’t she just.. abandon you? I mean, there’s no way she can see you again” >Ling looks down saddened >“Because she loves us, and we love her” >Now that you understand “She’s talking to you a lot” >“well, not just her, we all do, but yeah, she does” “why?” >“She doesn’t want to let us go, she wants to rescue us..” “I see.. and how does she plan to do that” >You see ling thinking >Normal thinking procedure is to tap the chin >She’s holding her temples >“well..she wanted human help... but.. she isn’t sure if she can find it” >You reach over, hovering you hand over Ling head, slowly you bring it down >Pet pets. >Ling coos into it, leaning forward and smiling at the kind gesture >“ She really likes you, she says you’ve been nicer to me than anyone’s been to our species” >You wince hearing that “Surely there’s been one..” >Ling shakes her head “we’re too scary looking..” "No your not" >Ling looks up at you with her adorable, hope filled eyes "I think you're pretty cool..heck, a bit of..something, I dunno some makeup or something, you'd be very pretty" >Ling blushes bright green >"oh..no..of course not" >You see her lick her lips and laugh "taste something good" >Ling looks away from you and whistles innocently >Damn cheese leg pones "Well, non the less. I think that's enough for today, lets eat our dinner and lay down okay?" >Ling doesn't look at you, seeming embarrassed, but she does speak up >"dinner would be nice.. but where am I going to sleep" "Well, There’s this room if you want" >She looks around it and her wings buzz >"This whole room, for me?" "Well, its the smallest room in the house, but, yeah" >"O..oh.. well, t...thank you" "Or.." >She turns to face you "I don't have any extra covers for in here, so maybe if you want.." >Her cheek turn even greener under her black skin >She looks at you for a long moment "Well?" >"I.. I'd like that" >You smile and ruffle her head >And lack of hair "Alright then, tonight you sleep with me, then tomorrow we buy you some blankets and, heck, if there’s any cloths you want, check em out" >Ling isn't sure how to respond to such kindness! >Its all so much for her! >And boy does she love the attention >Happeh bug is best bug >She hops off the bed and hurries into the kitchen to help you finish dinner >You follow behind and get back to work, with a new knife of course >When both are finished you plop down and look across the table to Ling >She’s already digging into her bowl “Slow down piggy” >As usual you get a playful hiss in turn >Okay then >You on the other hand take your time eating, thinking up questions >What does a medic do, why would they want them to treat humans, would she even want cloths, and most importantly >What is that queen planning >You hear a huff and a knock on the table >Ling is glaring at you “Why are you staring at me like that!” “Oh, uh, just thinking..” >She huffs “don’t, its scary!” “Oh? Well I say don’t order your master around or I’ll bite!” >You take a big chomp out of your salad >Both you and Ling laugh at it, and she sighs leaning her head down >“So, whatcha thinking about?” “You" >Ling is staring at you >Did she really already finish her whole bowl? >You’re barely half way done! >Oh shit she’s still staring >Anon think! Say something! “Uh..” >No, words! “Ling I was thinking.” >She blinks >“Oh good, you’re not having a stroke” >You blink >She has that big devious grin on her face like she just made the best joke ever >Damn bugs “Its about your job, er, previous job” >She quiets down and looks at her empty bowl >“No.” >You sit up “What?” >“I can’t talk about it.” “Why not?” >“I’ve already said too much about us, Chrysalis will be mad” “You’re joking right? What is she going to do?” >“Yell at me” >You rolls your eyes “I’m sure its fine, just tell me what you do as a medic” >“I already-” “Just tell me” >She hesitates and keeps looking at her bowl >It takes a few minutes, but she sighs >“fine” >That clearly wasn’t directed to you “Okay, well continue” >“W..well.. medics…we” >She gulps and leans back into her seat >“we handle a couple things, first of all, and most importantly, we’re nurses for the whole hive” “How big is a hive” >“currently? Around 200...we took..heavy losses between the canter lot incident and THIS” >She touches her collar >oh yeah, you never took that off.. >Oh well >”So, yeah, we take care of booboos and sick Changelings” >She giggles out and covers her mouth like shes thinking of something embarrassing >“I remember one time, Queen Chrysalis got the flu” >You lean forward, invested now. Good to know they can get the flu, might want to check in on that >“Hehe..She was laying in bed groaning and coughing like a filly! We had to put 25 of the medics on order for her!” >Ling imitates someone laying in bed by laying back and putting her hooves to her chest >“Ooooh Ling get me more cough medicine!” >She laughs out happily >“We all worked in shifts helping her get better, while the other half of the medics handled the rest of the hive! Nearly 2/3rds of the hive got sick!” >Ling laughs out, but calms rather quickly and looks down >“I hope there’s enough medics that got out to help the hive….I don’t like to boast, but I know how important we are..” >She sighs softly >“Our most important job is to deal with the eggs” >Now your interest is peeked. >After all ponies don’t lay eggs “Eggs?” >“Imagine…. Those eggs from that scary movie, but more green, like my blood, and with little filly sized changelings in them” >You tap your chin “Neat” >“We care for the eggs, keep them clean, and help the little ones hatch, really important stuff” “Why can’t the queen help?” >“Oh she does! She personally oversees each birth, but she also has to take care of the whole hive, and we don’t allow warriors or drones into the nursery!” >Understandable actually, just like a human hospital “Oh… okay, so medics are just like human nurses then, you must be very well trained” >She nods slowly as she goes into though >“we try..” “So, why would the humans want you so badly” >“well, why not, I mean, we’re trained for emergencies to ya know. Imagine if your ambulances could fly and use nearly anything to help with” >That brings you can to your towel and duct tape >Its made from about as redneck materials as one can get, but looks extremely professional >“plus..” >You look up at her >“We have a.. dirty little secret” >You put your fork down for this one >“You know how bees vomit to make honey?” “Well, of course, that’s like, 2nd grade knowledge” >“Imagine if you could eat an herb, do that, and concentrate it down into a honey like fluid that had the healing power of whatever herb you used, but tens of times more powerful” >"its also pretty good at terraforming" >Oh fuck >Also ew what the fuck >“the slavers said we’re so much like bees that they just called us bugs..” “Oh, sorry..” >She chuckles and rolls her eyes “Bees are the most important creature in nature, and are extremely smart. I take it as a compliment” >You chuckle in response ‘So, you’re basically just big pony shaped bees?” >“I suppose, but I imagine we’re smarter then this worlds bees” >Cant deny that one “Sure but, that doesn’t explain everything…. I understand why they want that, but they cant force you to eat their, uh, whatever they feed you, can they?” >“what’s stopping them?” >You think, stumped “Oh.. I guess you’re right, do as they’re told or..” >“die” >You look away, ashamed at such an idea >“we may work like bees, and we may share a hive mind, but we are still individuals” >“We do our hardest because we want to, we resist because we want to. And I gave in because I didn’t want to die.” >Ling looks more upset by the moment >“Some of us… they didn’t give in” >You reach out and slowly touch her shoulder >She begins to tear up >“My sisters…so many…so many screams Anon..” >You watch as Ling goes from a few stray tears to a full blown cry >Oh god damn it not again >This time its worse, more of a wailing desperate cry then the sobbing before >Activate plan A >You get up and walk around as she holds her face crying into her bandages hooves >You wrap your arms around you and- >Oh fuck ouch >She clings to you with impressive force, holding onto you and pressing her face into your stomach as she cries >You pet her head “there there, let it all out little buggy” >She sniffles as she continues to cry and you just pet her slowly >It absolutely breaks your heart watching this.. >Little changeling crying as hard as her body can handle while she remembers her family >You feel, pity >And you stroke her weird neck fin thing >Making her whine lightly and look up at you >You lean down, holding her close and looking into her eyes “Ling, maybe you should lay down okay?” >She just nods slowly and makes her way to the bed room, sniffling the whole way >Spending a bit of time in the kitchen and cleaning up, you think to yourself >You got proper answers >And you asked most of your questions >Didn’t get to ask about her changing ability, or what the queen was planning “Damn” >You drop the bowls into the sink and walk into the bedroom >Ling is curled up on the bed hugging a pillow >Naturally, it hurts the soul, so you walk over and lay down with her >carefully you wrap your arms around her >She stiffens and gasps out “Shh, its just me” >She gulps >“S.. sorry, am I not suppose to-” >You cut her off with a pat on her nose “No, no, its okay” >You smile kindly and hold her to your best >She presses back into you >Together you both lay in your bed, you holding her, her holding the pillow, until Ling falls asleep >Oh god the worlds on fire [spoiler] how bout yours [/spoiler] >Your eyes burn and your whole body feels warm >There’s something hard poking your chin >It kind of hurts >Wait >That’s just day light >fuck that >You go to cover yourself up further but feel the thing poke your chin again >You wince and carefully move back and look down >Oh look bugpone >You yawn loudly and look down at her “Good morning Ling” >A small yawn escapes her and she squirms out from your grasp, barely paying attention to you >She flops down onto the floor and stretches out >Do she got dat booty >She dooooo “Ling!” >She jumps and looks around, finally opening her eyes >“H.. huh.. oh.. g.. good morning master” “Anon” >“right..” >You stare awkwardly at her with her hind end high in the air and tail raised >You never really thought a pony was for sexual >But you can’t deny she got it >You sigh and sit up stretching out as well “Sleep well?” >She mumbles and starts stumbling her way towards the kitchen >Odd >You follow behind groggily and watch as she tries to reach the faucet >It’d be cute if she was not about to fall over into the table >You run over and catch her “Ling, stay with me now” >“Thirsty” >You sigh and roll your eyes, getting her a glass of water >And begin making coffee for yourself >She sits down at the table and groans softly, drinking the water not much differently than a human in the morning >Well at least you both agree that mornings suck “How’d you sleep?” >“Human beds aren’t that warm..” >You go to speak up but she grins >“You are though” >Oh >OH “Uh, thanks.. I think” >She giggles and gulps down more water “Well, anyway” >You take your coffee and sit “I’d like to go to some stores today” >She nods “Sounds nice” >You gently bump her with the hot cup >She immediately straightens up and stares at you “For you silly” >“Oh” “I think you’d do well to get your own bed” >“Mhmm.. I guess” she looks at you with pleading eyes >As much as you like cuddling, her having her own bed is a wise idea “Maybe some other shops if you see anything you like, even cloths” >“Cloths?” “Yeah why not, I think you’d like something >She looks down sadly >“well I do like some” “Like?” >“Scarves, and bows” “That sounds adorable” >She scoffs and raises her nose >“I for one just like to look good!” “Sure ya do” >She scrunches her face up and you chuckle at her frustration >Its rather adorable “Lets get some breakfast first, then we can go out, how does that sound” >She doesn’t even need to stop to think and nods happily “Okay!” “You like pancakes?” >Ling stares at you for a second >“S.. seriously?” “yeah, why wouldn’t I be” >“I LOVE pancakes!” >She jumps up and hugs you tight >You just smile and hug her back “Well I’m glad you do, because I also love them!” >“But where? You don’t have any pancake batter here” “A magical land called IHOP where pancakes AND waffles come by the plate full!” >You raise your hands expressing amazement, her eyes go wide >You swear she’s drooling a little “All you can stomach! Multiple kinds of syrup! Chocolate pancakes, plain pancakes and..” >You lean down to whisper “White chocolate” >She gasps out and hops up and down on your lap >Can we go! Can we go!” “Well of course silly!” >She is beaming with pure excitement >Fuck yeah Ihop >You spend a bit of time finishing your coffee while Ling drinks up her water >You’re a bit confused about her eating normal food if shes suppose to live off love >Questioning it is a bit much for you >Not even she understand, she just repeats what she said earlier on >“Food helps us stay alive, but Love and emotions are what feed us” >Seriously, what is that suppose to mean >You give up on trying to understand and just go along with it >You put on your normal outfit >Whatever feels comfortable >T shirt and jeans really >But before you go you check on your paper work for Ling to see her rules and regulations for going outside >There isn’t any changeling specific things, instead its all just local laws >Keep her on a leash >No fighting with other ponies > And of course who’s liable if anything happens >Specifically, your ass >Lovely >You pick up the leash and look it over >Its so cheap “Hey Ling, I have to keep you on a leash while we’re out, you want a new one?” >The little changeling pokes her head from around the corner and gives you a blank stare >“I’d rather not have one at all” “Well I’ll get in trouble if I don’t, now, new leash or not” >She lets out a defeated sigh >“Damn human law…sure, fine, whatever, new leash” >You nod and walk over to her, clipping the generic old one on her >She squirms and pulls some >She feels like a German shepherd pulling you >Strong for the apparent lack of muscle issue from the holes in her legs >You tug back “Now look, I know you don’t like it, but you’re going to have to deal with it” >“Like this slave thing?” “…yes” >She shakes her head >"You don't get it. I can handle being a slave, but walking around like this? Its humiliating" >She tugs more and you yank back "Now Ling, I understand, but please, work with me" >She gags gripping the collar >"Fine" >You make your way out to the old 1997 CUCV 2 M1008A1 and help Ling into the passenger seat >It got dat spray-paint camo like all the cool kids >Or just you because you’re a fuck who bought it cheap >You debate the seat belt and decide on, yes, it’s a good idea “Uh, Ling, sit however you feel comfortable so I can do this” >She just sits.. normally for a pony, front legs between her back legs >You strap her in and adjust the seat up so the belt isn’t rubbing her throat “Maybe I should get you a baby seat” >“You wouldn’t” >She glares at you >You grin as you roughly sit down in the drivers side “Oh I would” >“I’d kill you” “Bite me” >“Gladly” >Rolling your eyes you start it up >The old truck growls in protest but starts up in the first try >Ling is shaking in her carapace though >“why is it vibrating!” >She is stuttering as she says it >Cute “Cause I’m too lazy to fix it” >“its.. really loud” “So are you, it’s a diesel ” >She grumbles and looks over the vehicle >“I don’t like it” “Well I do, now deal with it. This thing can bring us anywhere” >Ling leans forward and touches the dash >She shivers and leans back into the seat >Weird >“What’s the big thing on the back do?” >Now that you chuckle about “Well its suppose to be for camping, but..” >You trail off thinking >A cargo compartment has a lot of uses >Ling looks back at the little window, trying to peer inside “I use it mostly for moving stuff around, especially on rainy days, but I also do bring it out camping every once in a while” >“I didn’t take you for one to enjoy the outside” >You nod in agreement “Yeah, I usually don’t, but I enjoy disappearing into the woods for a couple days at a time” >She turns her gaze back to you, slowly forming a smile >“I think that’s a good idea, those ponies don’t understand all the good being in the wilderness can do for someone.” >You look to her as you travel down the road “What do you mean?” >“well they just don’t go out enough, they stay in their safe little towns and don’t have the guts to explore their world!” “Oh.. hmm.. I didn’t think ponies would be like that” >“You’d be surprised how many are afraid of their own shadow” “really now?” >“I saw one faint because of a bunny stampede!” >A.. bunny stampede? You wat? “You’re kidding?” >“Nope! Seriously she just fainted right there!” >You laugh loudly “Wow! That’s silly!” >“I know right!” >As you two travel down the road to the local IHOP, Ling continues to tell you stories >Seems she’d been spying on Ponyville in the short period of time she was in Equestria >And that place is soft as can be >But damn it was the place adorable >You wish you could have visited >Maybe not, humans did attack a sentient species showing no signs of aggression >Sad really >Before long you’re there and all too happy to because she was about to get into details about her first time on Earth >You KNEW that wouldn’t be a happy story “Here it is Ling!” >She pokes her head out the window and head tilts >“Anon?” “yes?” >“Your buildings here are boring. Why?” “Practicality and cheap to build” >“That’s depressing.. Back in Equestria even the most boring houses looks better than that” - >You are Anon >And you hunger >Luckily you decided to bring Ling to IHOP >Best pancakes in town >Ling looks up to you and smiles warmly, all too excited to get some pancakes >Well, even a love sucking bug likes the sweet tastiness >Who wouldn’t >You take her leash and lead her inside the building >However, the reaction you got when you walked inside wasn’t the one you expected >The waiter stares down at the Changeling in front of him >Then he glances at you “Yes?” Waiter “Um, What kind of pony is that sir?” “Its called a changeling” >He blinks and slowly steps around from the pedestal >He looks at you both for a few seconds before leading down and touching ling >You go to stop him, but its too late, he already pokes her horn >Ling on the other hand wasn’t so willing to touch him >She hisses out and jumps back, quickly flapping her wings and taking flight >You grab her and glare at the waiter “What the hell man, touching my pony like that” >At the same moment of Ling hissing, the waiter had falling back with a surprised yelp >You hold Ling to you and sigh “She’s harmless, but don’t touch her” >The waiter nods slowly and sits up, staring at Ling, who looks up to you with her wide eyes and totally innocent look Waiter: “Uh, right this way..” >And off ya go to your seat >You order a stack of pancakes, coffee, an egg, and bacon >Ling stares at her menu >“uh..An- master?” >You look up at her “yes?” >Ling looks around then leans forward and whispers >“I uh, I can’t read this” “Well then, come here” >Ling hesitates looking at you >You chuckle and wave her towards you >Hopping from her seat and moving closer, Ling looks at your menu confused as can be >“I still cant read it.” “I didn’t think so, well, here” >You point out the pictures, and read off some things for her >The ones that catch her eye… er ear..are chocolate chip pancakes, hot chocolate, and for some reason ice cream >Its winter >Oh well, if she wants it “Cover your ears though Ling, okay?” >She nods and looks away, putting her hooves over her weird pointy ears “Uh, get her a stack of chocolate chip, a cup of hot chocolate, and some vanilla ice cream” >The waiter writes it all down >Just as he turns to go you catch his arm and whisper “And, have the chef surprise us with one of those cool designs in the hot chocolate, okay?” >He gives you an odd look but nods “Sure, I’ll see what I can do” >You smile and pat his arm “Thanks” >You turn and tap Ling on the shoulder “Alright, you can go back to your seat” >She gives you a puzzled look and hops over the table back to her spot >She lands very lightly, not even shaking the seat >Neat “So, Ling, we have a couple different kinds of syrup to choose from here” >“Really? There’s flavored syrups here?” “Yep!” >“hm.. maybe you humans aren’t so bad” >You chuckle and show her the various syrups to choose from while you two wait >But, soon enough, its pancake time! >First to be dropped off is the Coffee for yourself, and hot chocolate for ling >She goes to try and hold it but stops herself >She gasps out and looks up at the waiter, then you >She points to the cup >You grin and look to see what it is >Ling holds her hooves to her chin >“I..its beautiful anon!” >You grin and nod to the waiter “thanks” >He smiles back >Ling leans down as she examines her cup >“W..who is it though?” “Kiki” >“excuse me?!” >She scrunches up looking at you offended “No, the characters name is Kiki” >“Oh..uh..never mind then” “What’s wrong?” >“I thought you said something else” >her ears fold back and she suddenly leans down and slurps the hot chocolate “That’s a character from a movie called Kiki’s delivery service, I think you’d like it” >She looks up at you, a little bit of the foam on her nose >“Is it scary?” “Naw its cute” >You flash her a grin and point at your nose while you say cute >Ling looks at her nose, you think shes going cross eyed but you can’t tell all that well >She sticks her tongue out >And licks her nose >You blink and go to say something >But then stare at her “That’s a long tongue” >Ling smirks >“For you” >And now you can’t say anything >You shake your head and go back to eating >As the two of you eat, Ling keeps mentioning how good the pancakes are >She hasn’t even touched her ice cream yet >“Hmm, Anon, these are delicious! And BLUEBERRY syrup! Genius!” >She beams and bites off a big chunk of pancake >You however are starting to get a bit nervous >There aren’t many ponies around >Just two, one with her owner eating >And another who doesn’t seem as happy, he is working as a dish cleaner >Thank goodness your job requires driving, ponies can‘t take that one, poor dish boys >Trumps wall isn’t gonna help now >None the less, you’re getting looks >The humans pay only a glance and a whisper >But those ponies >Glares of hatred or fear as they watch you >What the hell is wrong with them >Ling is completely oblivious to it however, too enraptured by the amazing pancakes >Which you’re happy for, you don’t want her to feel bad. >After all, she’s very nice and hasn’t even bothered putting up a real fight >Oh yeah, you have bacon >Aww yis, delicious fried pig >Ling sniffs the air and looks to you curiously, a bit of pancake hanging from her mouth >“hnnmf. Anon, what’s that?” >You offer her a piece of it “Its called bacon” >“It smells REALLY greasy” “Try it” >She swallows her pancake bit and opens her mouth wide >That’s still spooky >She takes her bite and immediately starts gagging and spits it out, pushing herself away >“Ew! What is that!” “Uh, think of it like, well, the fat of an animal” >She stares at you >“The..what?” “pig belly” >“that’s disgusting Anon!” “I think its delicious.” >She shakes her head and sips her drink to remove the taste >You both finish up your plates, Ling a bit faster >She lays back and sighs happily >“Okay, I’m fully” >You laugh and smile “So am I, want to go into town?” >She looks up at you >“Can I rest first?” “Sure, you can rest in the truck” >She groans and lays her head back, letting out a soft burp >You pay and get up, gently tugging her leash >She grunts and follows >Loading up in the truck, you open the back “Beds open, it shouldn’t shake” >She hops up and flops down into the bed >You take your seat and start it up, on to town >Specifically bed bath and beyond >Its around a 10 minute drive, so you turn on some music and tune out the sighs from behind you any time you hit a bump >Silly bug >When you arrive you walk around back and see ling still contently laying on the old cot “Alrighty, get up Ling” >She groans >“Nooo” “Yes” >She grunts and rolls over, clutching her stomach >You poke her rump and she giggles out “You’re fine, get up” >“fine..” >she slowly gets up and goes to step out >You stop her though “Ling, I need to know something before we head into town” >She looks at you curiously “In the restaurant , some ponies were giving you some strange looks” >She looks at you for a moment >“I was afraid of that” “What is it?” >“Well, ponies don’t particularly like us, we go back quite a bit” “I see… What I could find about you, it said you can change into ponies?” >“Sure, but I haven’t done it for a long time.” “And you take suppressants for your magic don’t you?” >She laughs >“sure, when they can force them on me! I’m not going to give up my magic that easily” >You pat her head “Smart, now turn into a pony” >She nods and steps back >There is a bright flash of green fire, making you cover your eyes >When you look again, Ling has turned into a blue pony with darker blue hair and a lighter blue stripe running down it >Cute >She smiles down at you and hops down from the truck >You notice an extra hop in her step >“There we go! I’m a pony now!” >You look down at her, her voice is different, and she is grinning brightly “Huh, that’s, really weird” >She just giggles and looks at the store >“Whats the beyond mean?” >You shrug “They have a lot of stuff in this store, I think you’ll find something you like. But, why’re you different now?” >“Oh! Yeah when we turn we take on whatever personality fit’s the pony we turn into, or at least, the best we can do based on whatever information we have!” >“This is the pony I know the best! I think her names Colgate” >You lead Ling inside >her reaction is priceless >The tall ceiling and row upon rows of all sorts of things makes her head spin >Almost in a literal sense >“Wow Anon, look at all this!” >She hurries over to a pillow >And plants her face right into it >“Its so soloist, Anon why isn’t your bed this soft and smell so good!?” >You have your reasons >You should probably clean your sheets >Ling trots around the store, keeping the leash as far as it will possibly go >You get many odd looks, but you ignore them “Alright Ling, we’re here for a couple things” >She turns around wearing a santa hat >the ball pressed to her face and her nuzzling into it >“yeah? What we gonna get?!” >You laugh at her enthusiasm and give her a list “Pillow, one or two, sheets, comforter, bed things, theres already a lamp in the room so we don’t need that. A clock if you want it, I need you to start cooking so we’ll look for any kind of cooking things” >Ling stiffens at that and gives up a pouting face >“I don’t want to cook though” “Too bad. I can’t cook for shit and I need to save money now” >She looks around then uses the Santa hat to slightly cover her eyes >She cant escape that easily though as you tug her closer “Either cook or I wont get you that hat” >She gulps, thinking >“fine. But you get me the jacket that goes with it!” >Looking behind her you see she ripped open a pony Santa outfit that comes with a hat, fake beard, and cute little jacket >Damn it, its not a choice now “Deal” >She hugs to you happily and beams >“alright then deal!” >She keeps the hat on and you continue “Any kind of things you need, like towels, or whatever, also a tooth brush” >Ling reaches up and uses a hoof to test her breath >The look of horror tells you everything >She looks up to you for a few moments before she follows it up by looking around the store >As you show her around, you begin to tell her a legend, mostly to pass the time >The legend of the magical remote >First of course you have to explain what a remote is to her >That amazes her a lot, but then she hears about one that can control time >Her eyes are wide >You sit on one of those cool massage chairs and help her into one >She’s a bit freaked out by the leg holsters built into it, but she sits anyway >You pay for the massage and her eyes go wide >She groans loudly and relaxes into the chair >You continue on with your story “And then the hero realizes what he did and begs for his life back” >“That’s so sad” >She smiles >“But beautiful” “Ya wanna know where he found the remote?” >“Hm?” “In a Bed, Bath, and Beyond store, just like this one” >She gasps with amazement >You laugh and watch her as she both relaxes and is purely amazed by the story >Today’s not even half way over and it’s a great day >But, soon enough your $1 massage ends and Ling looks at you disappointed “Alright, lets find you some goodies!” >She nods and sits up, you take her leash and bring her to the Bed section >Ling is impressed by the colors though >So she digs deeper, into items behind items >Some of them have been sitting on the shelf a long time actually >She pulls out a comforter set and holds it up proudly >Good lord its ugly >But its cheap “You sure you want it?” >She nods happily >“It reminds me of the hive.” >Ling looks down, but she has a clear smile on her face >You return the smile and pick it up, dumping it into the cart “Awesome, that’s bedding down” >You bring her to the clocks and she picks out the first one she sees that is decent >Its analog though, she isn’t showing interest in the digital ones >it’s the same green >Next is bath, which she doesn’t seem as picky about, instead she just grabs some fluffy soft ones >You get her to pick up the ones on sale >She also picks up some soft slippers >They're actually the same color as her eyes >Ling touches them and looks them over, she nods and puts two pairs into the cart >You arn't sure how she's going to wear them, but you go with it >The you pick up some needles and thread so you can put her name on her bath things >And now for beyond >She starts searching the store with you >Kitchen wise, you are lucky to find a new ‘pony’ line of kitchen items, all the same things as normal, but modified for pony use >Even a little apron just for ponies >Ling lets you pick out whatever, not bothering to even look >You purposely pick out a corny ‘kiss the cook’ apron and put it under everything else >Storage is a big deal, and you get some under the bed storage and in the closet storage as well >While you let Ling browse you consider what she picked out as well as what else is needed for her >Its all green and/or black >You finish up finding everything Ling wanted and check over your haul >Thank goodness a lot of this is on sale >However Ling has one last blow to make to your wallet >She wiggles her blue tail as she gleefully makes her way to the front of the store >Pulling the cart along >You have to walk faster to keep up with her by now >And then she comes to a sudden stop and you fall over “Hey Ling what the hell?” >Her tail practically wags as she looks at the cheap CD rack >“What’re these?” “You know what a record is?” >She nods “Its just like a record, but uses a laser instead” >She ooooo’s and stares >You smile and look at her >$5 “Okay, okay, pick one up” >She looks through them and carefully picks one up >Hm, a pony on the front >However >Oh no >Its Christmas songs >As sung by Octavia >Who? >Ling looks up at you with her pleading, beautiful blue orbs >“Can I have this one?” “How much is it?” >She scrunches up and her stare turns into a glare >“You know I cant read it!” >You chuckle and take it from her “Its $5, see that symbol” >You point to the dollar sign “That means dollars, the other thing is a five” >She nods and clutches the CD back to her chest >Awkwardly walking up to the cashier >Who is also pony >Two legs walking is strange on a pony, you aren’t sure how to feel about it >As soon as the pony scans the CD, she snatches it back and waits >drowning out the constant beeping of the various items you turn to Ling “Did you know her?” >She nods “That’s Octavia, one of the best bass players in Equestria. I hear she sings well, but I’ve never heard it” >She shrugs >You turn to the pony, who is still scanning, but slower, listening to you two talk >Ling pets the CD softly >“Thank you Anon, this means a lot..” “Oh we aren’t done yet” >Ling walks closer and slowly takes your leg into a hug >You are sitting in the driver seat of a run down old ex-military truck >There is a changeling sitting beside you trying to open a CD with her stubby fangs >Either you’re an insane /mlp/ lurker or you’re Anon >At this point probably both >You lean over and take the CD from her, seeing her only succeed in cracking the plastic >Luckily you have hundreds of these, somewhere, probably basement >You feel it open with your magic human fingers and open the cracked case open, popping it in >Ling takes in a deep breath and that same green fire explodes from her body >Sitting beside you is now Ling in her natural form >She looks over at you >“thank you” “Not a problem, its just a little CD” >She stamps on the play button >Thankfully not that hard >It begins to play and you hear typical Christmas music, nothing special >Except the bass is spectacular >The song is, in fact, mostly the Bass being played >But also the voice of a pony in there with it >You know its pony because it sounds softer and sweeter than most humans >Ling sways back and forth in her seat listening >You take command and begin the drive >Normally you’d discuss your next stop with her, but she’s so into the music you decide it best to leave her be. >Even through the loud diesel engine she listens to that CD with all she can muster >Its actually rather cute to see her smiling like this >Its only a short drive, and you make it to the next store on the list >You need some new cloths, and Ling seems interested in getting a scarf, so why not >(I know the following is a euro store and my story is clearly murrican, but I’m bored so I’m adding it in) >You pull up to the C&A >Its actually a pretty new store that you’ve been wanting to go to >Because clothes >Ling looks out the window then back to you >“This place looks nicer” >You hop out of the truck and wait for Ling to turn back to a pony >She does so and hops out with you “Yeah, some European store my town brought in. Trying to make themselves cultured.” >Ling looks over the buildings from and looks back at you >“it doesn’t look like it fits in” >You shake your head “yeah, you’re right, it really doesn’t. But, that’s how it is. Trying to make yourself look like you know things you don’t does that” >She nods in agreement and makes her way inside with you >This time the greeter doesn’t nearly have a heart attack >If anything, she happily greets you, ignoring Ling all together >You look around and realize this is not the store you expected >Its like every other store ever >But with hints of German and Polish influence >Ling, however, happily tugs you along right into the girls isle >if you expected womens, you’d be wrong >She goes to the little girls isle, like, age 10+ >The first thing she looks through are the scarves >Oh yeah she likes those >Ling looks up at you happily >“They’re all colorful! This is way better!” “Okay, well, pick out, two of them, okay?” >She nods and starts her search again >She ultimately picks two >One simple teal colored scarf that looks generic as possible >And another that is.. >That’s not REALLY a scarf, its more of a neckerchief >This one is blue and black >It compliments her blue back part of her carapace really well, if she had been showing it >Taking the two into your arm you lean down “Okay, I’m going to let go of your leash. Don’t run off” >Ling looks up at you suspiciously >She can tell you’re testing the water, but also that you don’t want to carry her and whatever she picks out >So she ultimately gives an affirming nod >You carefully unclip her leash and stuff it into your packet >Ling makes her way over to the socks >They’re clearly for girls, but her legs aren’t much bigger than a little girls either >She picks up the first ‘knee high’ that she sees and dumps them right on you “Not even going to test them?” >She shakes her head >“Nope, they’re perfect. I can tell” >You shrug and stuff them under your arm without even looking at the packaging >Following behind Ling as she hops around, still as Minuette, or Colgate. Whoever the blue pony is, and looking around for more goodies >She finds a couple little bows and things >And then she sees the makeup section >This seems to have caught her interest >She hops over to the case and peers inside >It takes a moment for her to wave you over, but she does >She seems to have seen some slightly expensive mascara and.. >Is that.. blush? >You give her a puzzled look >“What?” “Why the blush?” >“it’s a package deal, can’t buy one without the other. You like discounts right?” >You nod >She grins >Damn it bug pone gotcha! >You look to the pony behind the counter and whistle “Excuse me, Miss, can you help?” >The woman behind the counter walks over and looks down at Ling and then up to you “yes?” “My little friend here is interested in your sale you’re going, the blush and mascara?” >She nods and reaches under the cabinet, pulling out two boxes “here you go. Just check them out with the clothes” >You take them and add them to the pile in your arms >By now you aren’t sure if you want to hold much more >2 scarves, 2 bows, there’s probably around 8 pairs of socks, now the cosmetics to >Plus a few things for you, shirts, underwear, fun stuff >When the two of you step outside Colgate Ling is carrying the bags of goodies in her mouth >The light hop to her step showing just how content she is with her purchases >Or, your money, her choices >And your underwear >Actually these things are really soft >Cheap European imports for the win >You open up the back of the truck, tossing everything in >You're gently nudged back and look down "hey, that’s rude" >Ling looks up at you as she goes to close the door >"Hay is for horses" >Giggling like a fool you close her up in there "Should we get going?" >"No hold on! I'll be out in a sec!" >You sit down on the bumper and wait >There are some struggles, grunts, and defeated sighs, but soon the door opens >Ling steps down, still in Minuette form and smiles at you >You turn to her and blinks "Well.. look at you" >She smiles brightly and spins around, swishing her tail around >"You like it!" >You scratch her back playfully 'Adorable!" >Ling grins brightly and hugs you tight >"Thank you thank you thank you. I /LOVE/ socks and scarves!" >You hug back happily >Patting her back softly you notice something behind her >Your eyes go wide "Ling. Get in the car now" >"why what’s wrong?" >She looks at you nervously >You point behind her >She turns her head to look >And sees a familiar looking blue pony mare with a dual colored mane staring at her with shock and fear >There is a loud gasp from in front of you >And a gulp from in your arms >And you’re sweating >Your changeling is in your arms, in the form of a pony, who she called Colgate >Behind her is another pony, who fits Colgates description perfectly >You sit Ling down in the bed of the truck and look to the pony >She has a collar on so she’s either a runaway or doing errands for her master “Its not what it looks like” >Fuck, that was suspicious as fuck >The blue pony slowly approaches, very flustered “Hey, now.. look.. we just..” >She raises her hoof to silence you as she approaches your truck >You’re unsure what to do or how to react >Oh god she’s right in front of you >What do >Brain think! >The blue pony stares up at you intently >She’s trying to see something and you don’t know what >“You’re not under her spell, so that means you let her do that: >Oh fuck oh fuck >The pony glares at you ‘You need to get rid of it right now” >You blink and glare back “You don’t know what you’re talking about” >The pony practically hisses “Oh I know what I’m talking about you idiot human” >Ling is in the truck watching nervously, she doesn’t dare speak up “Hey, you cant call me an idiot, you’re a sla-” >Damn it she cuts you off again >“No, YOU are! She’s a CHANGELING a beast who will eat your love till you’re dry and kill you when you can’t help her anymore, I know-” >“QUIET” Ling steps out of the truck glaring at Minuette >She steps over and hisses in her face >“You don’t know me, you don’t know my family and you don’t know my master” >“He is the kindest more caring human I’ve ever met and you have NO RIGHT to call him anything else you.. you.. HORSE” >Each accusation she took a step closer till they were face to face and way too close for comfort >Minuette presses her face to Lings uncaring “Oh?! I don’t know? YOUR KIND stole my mind and locked me away in a cave!” >“Whether or not that happened is not my concern” >“You CHANGELINGS ruined the canter lot wedding! I was a FLOWER PONY do you know how hard that is to get into?” >Ling grunts >“I wasn’t part of that silly incident and I don’t care for whatever job you had, we were desperate because you ponies judge on looks alone!” >Minuette presses closer >Oh fuck that’s a fighting stance >“NO WE DON’T” >“THEN WHY DIDN’T YOU AT LEAST TRY TO HELP US” >“BECAUSE YOU ATTACKED” >“BECAUSE YOU DIDN’T HELP US CHANGELINGS” >The two start going back and forth >That is until the pony, who you have figured out by now is the real Colgate, or, Minuette, whatever her name is, slaps your Ling >Ling falls back pretty hard even though it was just a slap >You go to help Ling, but she hops up and flutters her wings >The green flash of light blinds you for a moment >And when you open your eyes back up >Well fuck >Ling is on Minuette and punching >Minuette it under her but punching right back >Occasionally their hooves meet, making a sickening clacking noise >A good hoof connection to Lings face makes her yelp and grab her face >And now you’ve seen enough >You jump in and grab at Ling >She struggles growing and kicking >You toss her in the back of the truck and slam the door shut >She yelps as she is hit with the door and falls back >You quickly lock it and turn to the bruised Minuette on the ground >She stares up at you >“See! She’s a beast! She nothing but a violent low down dir-” “QUIET” >You slap her face pretty hard >And she looks shocked >You glare down at her, stepping over her “Now listen here you pony. I don’t care about your previous interactions with the changelings or how you feel about them. You just assaulted my frie-Slave. And I’m not going to take that.” >She tries to stand up but you lean down face to face “Ling has not put me under any kind of spell or anything, and she made it clear to me she wasn’t involved in the canter lot.. thing.. now you can either apologize to her or start running” >She stands there to consider this >She isn’t very good at hiding it either >“Fine. I’ll apologize” >You smile and open the doors, Ling is rearing and ready to go, but you grab her up >You proceed to do the only logical thing and begin betting her >Nice and slow it is. >Ling looks up at you, then shoots a glare at Minuette >Minuette sighs and looks away with a huff “Alright Ling, You apologize for hitting her, and Minuette, you apologize for well.. yah” >The two stare at each other >“I’m sorry for insulting you.. and calling your master an idiot” >Ling looks at her and motions for you to sit her down >Her ears turn towards Minuette >She’s.. inspecting her >“Yeah, I guess I’m sorry to, for hitting you…and breaking your tooth” >Minuette quickly uses her tongue to feel her mouth >She winces >Then her eyes go wide >She looks up at Ling with a look of pure horror >She turns around and starts gathering the things she dropped >You walk over “Hey, you okay pony?” >“I..I need to go, like right now. Like RIGHT NOW” >She seems panicked >Before you can ask why she shoots off and starts running >You look to Ling >Ling shrugs >You shrug >The truck shrugs >You should probably get that fixed >Anyway you help Ling into the passenger side “Well I was planning on waiting on your vet visit, but that little fight left you kind of bruised up. “ >She looks at herself in the mirror and agrees “So I’m going to bring you down to an emergency vet and let them take care of you” >Ling looks at you, she gulps >“W.. why the vet?” “Because, you’ve been hurt” >“yeah, so?” “So, I’m going to have the vet help you” >She gulps >You shrug it off and turn her CD back on, surprisingly you actually really liked it >While listening you also check the address for the ER pony vet >Its not far, maybe 15 minutes >The ride is nearly completely silent until you reach the vet >it’s a rather small building >Its really just for ponies, and a lot of people don’t bother bringing them in >Assholes >When you pull into the parking lot and actually park, you make sure to put some distance between you and other vehicles >Its not pleasant and your truck is big anyway >You take Ling into your lap, much against her protest, and start taking her Scarf, Bow, and socks off >She blushes furiously >“he.. hey, what are you doing?” “I don’t want them ruining your new cloths Ling” >She smiles some, but still is blushing bright green and nervously “Its just an ER visit and a check up, you’ll be fine” >She nods some, not talking anymore >You pick her up and carry her into the main room, nice and slow >The receptionist stares >“What kind of pony is THAT?” She asks “A very special one. But I think she’s kind of messed up, she got in a fight” >“Do you know the other pony? Have her with you?’ >You shake your head “I think they just spooked each other >Ling scrunches her face and glares at you >You love it when she does though, its cute >The nurse watches the two of you for a moment before handing over a clipboard for you to fill out >You carry it and Ling over to the closest seat and flop down >Ling takes position in your lap to read off the form with you >You start writing info in >For last name, you put Ling and your name as the same one >She seems to be ignoring it, but based on the way her wings shuffled, you can tell she liked it >She explains all she can about her medical history and what she’s feeling now with the fight. >Actually she’s very helpful, most of the info you wouldn’t be able to write down without her >When all is said and done you have filled out more then any other slave owner you’ve ever seen probably would have been able to >Based medic changeling makes like easier >The two of you wait >And wait >And wait >“LING” >ayyy >Ling hops up but then winces and lets you carry her to the back >The doctor immediately informs you that you can go if you want, since a physical and working on her injuries would take time >lolnope ya old creep >You lay Ling out on the table and look to the doctor “She got in a fight, but I think she’s okay. She also hasn’t had any shots or a physical since she was processed” >The doc nods, looks over the file you filled out and gets to work >The first is obvious >The wounds >He stares at her and puts his finger into her leg hole >L.. lewd >“Uh. Sir, you’re aware this isn’t a pony right?” “Yeah, she’s a changeling” >Ling pipes up “Our internal anatomy is almost the exact same. Minus.. a few things.. and the second stomach…and carapace” >The doc just stares at her >He looks her body over and pokes around at the broken bits of carapace >He nods and does, like you did, and starts removing them >Luckily its mostly just cracks and very little needs to be removed >Unlike her leg holes, which are still basically gaping wounds >Ling looks up at the doctor “We also molt” >He nods “Good, that’s an easy fix for that then” >Ling waits and examines everything he does, careful to change anything he fucks up >You just stand there nervously watching, unsure how you can help, but not going to leave her alone >By the time its all over Ling has several new bandages, no stitches, and a lot of healing cream on her >He also put fresh bandages on the leg holes >The doc looks over to you and Ling “Alright, so that was easy, but next we need a couple things. Since your owner insists you are given the same physical as an adult, and you also need pony physical testing as well. We have a number of tests” >Ling shrugs “okay” >“lets see. Blood test, urine test, heart rate, abuse, Cardiac and respiratory testing, weight..” >He thinks and looks over the list >The doctor leads Ling over to the only examination room >it’s the size of a normal exam room >Crowded with all the equipment in one place though >But it works >You go to stand outside and Ling looks at you nervously >“Please stay anon” >The doctor looks down at her “He doesn’t need to be..” >“I’d rather he was” >You smile and turn around, closing the door behind you and leaning into the wall, watching Ling >She gives you a kind smile and walks over to the scale >Its clearly for humans, but has some handle bars welded onto it so she can use it to >Ling stands up on two legs and puts her front hooves on the handles >The doctor weighs her and looks at the number >He writes it down and looks to you ‘Every pony I’ve weighed, the weight doesn’t match the size” >You raise a brow “And?” >“Ling, is over weight.” >He reaches down and feels her stomach >She yelps and tried to get away >You walk over and pat her head “He knows what hes doing its okay” >She looks up at you and presses her head into your hand while the doctor feels her >“She’s not over weight, but, she weights.. well, to Earth standards” >You rub her head more “Weird” >“Well, this is the first changeling I’ve ever checked out, so, who knows” >You chuckle and nod >He next puts the blood pressure cuff on her arm and starts that >She doesn’t even flinch >The carapace stays firm >Yet somehow the doctor does get a good blood pressure from her, its up to Equestria standards not Earth standards, same for heart rate >lolwat >He hooks ling up to an EKG machine, its an old one, but it works >Annnnnd she has no heart beat >fuck >The doctor taps the machine, it acts like its not even hooked up “I’m not going to lie Anon. I’m confused” >Link looks at you two “what is that?” >“Its called an EKG it tests the electrical reactivity of your heart” >She giggles “Oh, yah, you humans use electricity. That wont work on me” >“Why?” >“Electricity doesn’t go through our skin” >You both deadpan as you watch her just smiling proudly >next test it is >The doctor walks over to the small treadmill >Its much smaller than a humans, and isn’t even electrically powered >He has her get up on it and start running at a decent pace >Which she keeps up >and up >she doesn’t even slow down until the time is up for that test, around 10 minutes >The doctor writes down the numbers as he checks her breathing and heart “Impressive. Good to know changelings don’t smoke either. You’re healthier than the athletic Equestrians I’ve checked on” >Ling is all too proud of her accomplishment, grinning at you with pride >You grin back and give her a little hug >The doctor coughs and looks at you both “Just a few things left and you can get out of here. My nurse will take over. You need her blood drawn, an abuse check, and urine test” >You look at him “Abuse?” >“Well just cause you’re hugging here doesn’t mean we can trust you” “And what about all those others who are being abused?” >“They don’t come into the office and there aren’t any laws against it. Can’t help you” >He dismisses it as nothing, drops Lings file in the basket hanging on the wall and leaves >You glare at the door >Ling gently places her hoof on your face “Its okay.. He’s right ya know, probably not the first to say that today anyway” >You look down at Ling >She’s giving you that look “I guess you’re right” >You sigh but pet her more and go with her judgment on this. >The two of you wait for what seems like forever >A woman who looks like she could grow a beard walks in >She sees Ling >She nopes right out of there >And so the wait intensifies >Another 10 minutes later, a slightly younger man, around 25 enters >He looks at Ling and smiles, then to you, also smiles, less enthusiastic though “Well, doc says I have tests to run” >You nod >“Alright, no big deal, You must be Ling” He looks to Ling and extends his hand >She timidly shakes it, watching his movements closely >She stares him in the eyes >“You taste like. Curiosity. And a hint of love” >The two humans in the room go silent >The Nurse chuckles to break the silence and grabs the clip board >He reads it over >Going over to a cabinet he pulls out a needle, its meant for children, and a few vials >“Alright, easy as pie. We just need a few vials of blood. See if you have any infections, or anything cool” >She puffs out her chest “I am cool” >You both laugh as her attempts to be ‘cool’ >The nurse does everything usual, not realizing the carapace is keeping him from restricting the blood flow with the band >When he goes to put the needle in >It fucking breaks >Like right in two >Ling stares, you stare, the nurse stares, the needle would stare but its dead >He moves down her body looking for a crack in her amour >Luckily the earlier issues left a few >And one perfectly above a vein >wew >He pokes it in and she winces >You carefully pet her and smile >Ling smiles back and waits >The nurse blinks “I..is it suppose to be green Ling?” >She nods “Sure is, why do you think my skin is green” >He goes to say something but shuts it, going off her word on this one >He finishes up, and puts a bandage on her booboo >Putting the new green vials away on a stand, he turns back to Ling >“Now, Ling” He holds up a rather small cup for her and leans down >He whispers “I need you to pee in this. You can use our bathroom if you want since you’d been such a good girl” >She takes the cup >And fucking drops it >“I can’t hold it” >He looks at her “Uh, you think you can, ya know.. go.. In it.. its kind of a small target, and if you can’t even..” >She waves her hooves around “I can do it!” >She carefully takes it again and very slowly walks her way over to the bathroom door >Very slow methodical steps >The nurse looks up at you and shrugs >You also shrug >While you wait you heal clacking, grunts, and sighs >Eventually Ling pokes her head out of the door >A.. anon.. I have a question” >You look up “yes?” >“no doctors please” >Her face is green again >You look at the doctor and smile “I’ll make sure she doesn’t cheat” >He chuckles and walks out, leaving you also with her >She whimpers and looks down, not making eye contact >“I..I cant” “Why not?” >I I just can’t okay, cant you.. ya know” >she looks around >“hold it?” “I’m not the one that needs to piss in a cup” >She grunts and throws a magazine at you >“You know what I meant!” >You laugh and walk in, you take the fallen cup from the ground and go into a crouch “How you wanna do this?” >“Just stay still anon please” >You try to suppress a laugh >She totally knows >And she hates it >But after a moment she lets the gates open >You can’t help but look >Strange, you expected her to look different down there than a normal horse >You also didn’t expect her piss to be green >As soon as she’s done she quickly turns around >You cap the cup >“NOW GO” >She looks around nervously >You laugh and stand up, going and bringing to warm green liquid to the Nurse >Who proceeds so stare “Such a strange being..” >He pulls out his card and gives it to you “here, next time she needs an appointment call me first.” >He puts the piss away, same place as the blood “You can’t be in the room for the next test. Tell her and I’ll get it started, okay?” >You walk in and smile down at Ling >She doesn’t meet your eyes “So, the doctors and to do a few small last exams, then we can go get some food. How’s that sound?” >She nods “yeah sure” >She hops up on the table and waits >You walk outside to the waiting area >The nurse (who will now use the same talk that anon did, for easy) walks back into the room, he has a bag of things with him “Okay, so All I need to do is ask you some questions and examine your..” he points downward >Ling follows his pointing and gasps >“Do I have to?” “No, but if you don’t we need to take our own actions. Not legal, but you’ll be here for a while.” >She looks down thinking it out >“Okay, but only because I wanna hurry. And don’t do anything funny” >He crosses his heart “A pony once told me about a thing called a Pinkie Promise. I cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye” >She giggles softly and nods, laying back onto the pillow >“okay go” >The nurse takes a seat and leans back “Okay, so, pretty easy stuff, First has your master ever touched you?” >“Not sexually or painfully, no” >She thinks >“Nothing that I can say I didn’t deserve” >He writes “What do you mean deserve?” >“If I attack him, he defends. The guy doesn’t even make me call him Master” >All that’s written down and he nods “Good to know.” >This continues for a few more questions, all related to things he did, or the reason she’s there >The nurse smiles and sit’s the board down “He sounds like a decent owner. That’s good. Means you don’t have to come here often” >Ling chuckles and smiles back >“I like him a lot..” >She dazes off into the distance >She looks like she’s thinking, but the nurse clearly has no idea what she’s up to >He carefully moves her into position and starts the next part of the examination >Ling yelps feeling the cold metal against her mare hood. >She looks down and gulps >“Careful” “I pinkie promised” >The nurse carefully spreads her out as he looks her over “Most ponies don’t allow this. I’m glad you did” >“why?” “Because you’re unique. And cool. Though I’m confused about something” >She gasps out and arches her back >Don’t touch that!” >She wiggles and looks away from him with a huff “What was it?” >She looks around then down at him and whispers “Ponies go into heat” >he nods >“When changelings do it, we do the same, since we’re all female. But, we can start our own families to” “How so?” >“prod a bit deeper and you’ll understand” >Curiously, the nurse goes deeper, where there should be a cervix he looks at Ling and raises a brow “That’s, the tip of a penis isn’t it?” >“Close, but no. We lay eggs in ponies or other changelings who want to start their own hives or families. We get aroused for THAT purpose. It comes out. Serves its purpose. Then goes back in. acts as a cervix for when we are mated as females” >He slowly pulls the Speculum out and looks at her “That’s terrifying” >“Neat though” “very” >When the nurse finishes up his job he pats Ling on the belly >Now comfortable with him she giggles softly and sits up >“Thanks for being gentle” “Not a problem little Ling, you were easy” >She huffs at being called little, but chuckles some in turn >“Find anything?” “Well, its pretty obvious someone’s had their w-” >She raises her hoof >He nods and rubs her head “Not a word. Got it” >Ling smiles and hops down off the table, stretching out >The nurse opens the door for her, pulling a lolipop out of his coat >She happily takes it >maximum nom >Ling walks up to you >You lean down and rub her head “Better?” >She nods >The nurse looks at you “Lings samples need to be tested, but she seems perfectly healthy!” >You nod as you pick Ling up >She eats on the candy looking up at you and the doctor playing innocent “Good to know, we’ll wait on your call, okay?” >The nurse nods “We should be able to tomorrow” >Walking on out of the building you look at Ling “Its almost 2, want to pick up some lunch?” >She nods excitedly “How about a BBQ joint” >Ling shrugs >“I need more hugs for food Anon, food will sustain me, but not fill me” >You chuckle and buckle her into her seat “That can be done as long as you’re a good girl” >Ling hugs you gently and leans back into her seat >You drive towards a small bbq place you know >Its more of a food cart really “Ling, what did you two talk about in there? I’m not abusing you am I?” >She turns from the window looking at you >“You really think I’d tell them you did anything?” “Well no but..” >“then don’t worry about it. You’re the nicest human I’ve ever met. There’s no way I’d tell them something that could endanger you” >You hug her with one arm “Thanks” >Ling chuckles and brushes it off coolly >“Yeah but you better watch yourself” >The sarcasm in her voice is dripping >You roll your eyes “I’m too special to hurt” >Ling looks at you >“special” >You pull up to the food cart and unbuckle Ling >She hops out with you and kicks the door shut >This makes a small dent >You shrug it off because its nothing new >Though it may be time to teach Ling how to repair car dents >Could be worth it >You lead ling to the front, where an older black gentleman is standing >Dem niggas make the best bbq >Seriously, try it >Ling looks up at the menu >She doesn’t really see anything good >‘There’s a lot of meat on there..” “Oh right, you don’t eat meat. Uh. Like fruit?” >She nods “Watermelon?” >“Never had it” >Oh boy >You walk over to the conjoined fruit stand (it’s a thing in my town, trust me) >Picking out a small watermelon you put it in the folding counter “I’ll have this, and your pulled pork. And two cokes” >The black man looks down at you “Pepsi fine?” “Hell no” >He grumbles “We got Pepsi products” >lol.mtn.dew.it.is >Paying for your order you bring the plate and two drinks to a small picnic table >Ling carries the watermelon >It seems to confuse her >Which confuses you “Ever had a watermelon?” >“Nope. What is it” “try it” >You push Lings mtn. dew over to her and watch as she attempts to stuff the melon in her mouth >Like, the whole thing >You want to stop her but this is just fascinating >Ling chomps down >Her fangs her stuck in the flesh >Oh damn it >Ling tugs the melon and looks at her, her eyes going wide >She keeps pulling >She’s losing this battle >And you’re losing your sides >As you cackle like a fool Ling squirms around, half the watermelon stuck in her mouth >Eventually though you stand up and walk over “Okay, okay” >You giggle out as you take hold of the melon “Stay still” >She stops squirming and looks at you >You pull out your pocket knife >She looks up at you and her eyes widen “Ling damn it stop squirming” >You put the knife to the melon and carefully cut around her fangs >She winces and breaths heavily while you cut >It takes a minute since you’re carefully, but you manage to pull out about 75% of the melon >The rest of it Ling starts chewing >She puts on a disgusted face first >then a curious one >Then a happy one >She reaches out, making grabbing hoof motions at you >“Its delicious Anon!” >You laugh and starts cutting it into bits for her “You ate the skin, we don’t normally do that” >“It was a bit bitter, but it tasted good!” >You hand her over a piece of only the red >Ling takes it and tosses it in her mouth >It almost slips through her leg hole in the process >L..lewd >She chews and claps her hooves together >“Tasty! More please!” >You push the watermelon, which now acts as a bowl for its own insides, over to her >Ling chews each bit of it happily >You on the other hand eat your sandwich >Covered in plenty of bbq sauce >Its dripping >And you’re loving it >When you finish it, you see Ling is still working down her melon bits >the only logical awnser now is to help >You and her both each on the watermelon together “You really like sweet things don’t you?” >Ling nods eagerly and wiggles her way closer to you >You wrap your arm around her and lean back, thinking >Ling leans into you and presses her face to your chest >Nomnom watermelon >You tap her nose “Candy?” >“the best!” “I have an idea then” >You pop another bit into your mouth and stand up “Candy store!” >She gasps out and hops you >“Lets go!” >You grab her up and nuzzle her face >Lings eyes go wide >Y..you touched NOSES >THAT’S THE MOST LEWD OF THINGS >HOW COULD YOU ANON >Ling is paralyzed, eyes wide as she stares at you >You on the other hand think nothing of it >And back into the truck you two go >When you put the truck in reverse, Ling stops you and points >In front of you, you see your little mess the two of you made >Maybe you should have cl- >Whoa >That pony has wings and a horn >You look to Ling “Know her?” >“Yeah, she’d Twilight Spurkle. She almost killed my queen” >You look forward, then back to her “During that attack?” >Ling nods >You watch as the pony cleans up the mess and tosses it into her trash bag saddle pack “Fitting, isn’t it” >“No. She was very important. She doesn’t deserve this job” >You blink, then rub her back “I’m glad you said that” >Ling watches as Twilight slowly walks away and back into the food cart >Well then >That was unexpected >You shift into reverse and hurry your way over to the candy store >It’s a small locally owned one, but they got that bomb ass chocolates and hard candy >Granny tier stuff >In fact a granny owns it >You drive town the road while Ling explains who Twilight is and what she did >Its an interesting, if depressing story >She became a damn princess of friendship >And now she’s a niggers slave >He’s a pretty based nigger >But he doesn’t like coke >The horror >The story is pretty neat though >Cool battle >Changelings invading >A couple changelings decided to stay >Now that was an interesting story >A few changelings managed to find hiding places in Canterlot, hiding from the blast wave >Heck, they found jobs and everything >Of course, hidden, not visible >Banning a whole species from a country seems like a bit much >The two of you make your way over to the old candy store >When Ling enters her eyes go wide >At first she’s calm >You bring her through the various rows of candy, showing her each of the different options she has >You also show her one of the neat little 1950s games there is >Insert coin, play game, win bubble gum >>She plays till she gets a gum ball >She chews it while you show her around >Soon the old lady comes out from the back room >Her entire front is covered in white powder >An old green pony follows her and looks >“ooooh looky there, two young dearies coming in to buy some candy” >The old green mare smiles and looks up at the old woman >She also smiles >God damn old people smiles >“Oooh hello Dear” The old lady walks over to the counter >Oh god they even sound the same “Hello there granny” >You notice the mares ears perk “I was just showing my friend here around and looking at some of your new candies” >The old lady chuckles and walks over, she motions the green mare over >“This here’s anon, he’s my best customer, comes in here any time he’s got a sugar need” >The mare looks up at you and gently shakes your hand >White powder comes off her onto your hand >You smell it >Fuck yeah confectioners sugar “What’s your name?” >The mare smiles up at you “I’m Smith, Granny Smith” >You look to the human with her “Great, TWO grannies?” >The old woman laughs “I can barely handle one, now there’s two? Please don’t make me eat any more of your home made fudge cookies. You know what those do to me” >Both the grannies look at each other >They’re plotting, you can tell >Damn grannies >Granny Smith trots off to the back while granny watches you >Ling wanders around >She looks around for a while before she sneakily makes her way to a hard candy holder >Its just a big glass shelf full of unwrapped hard candy >What you and the grannies don’t notice is that she’s eating it >All of it >The two of you talk a while >Mostly about candies and things >But all things must come to an end >Granny coughs and turns to point at Ling >You look >She’s got bits of candy stuck to her carapace >Two bags of candy >and her belly looks slightly distended >Your eyes go wide >Oh fucking hell Ling what have you done >Granny gives you an accusing look >The only natural response you can think of is run >You pull out your wallet and slam a 100 dollar bill down on the counter >Then rush over to thing >She grunts as she is grabbed >You don’t care and lift her anyway >With her bags >And run right out the door with her >Granny runs after you two >Oh fuck she’s got the horse with her >The two of them stand in the doorway yelling at you >You’re too busy fucking running away to hear >You think they’re cussing >Or just being adorable granny like insults at you >You pay it’s the latter “Damn it Ling!” >You pant as she run >The groans from her kind of make her sound pitiful >Good >Be a human >You have a changeling >Changeling is strangely melancholy, even after a doctors visit and getting beat up by a pony >Though she shows lots of emotion when you do and when she finds something she cares about >Oh and her names Ling, its both fitting and silly >Hell she’s not even a gook >But she’s friendly and fun to have around >Thank god you got drunk with your credit card out last week >As of now you’ve eaten at IHOP, gone to bed, bath, and beyond >You didn’t find a remote there to control time sadly >But you did find her a Santa outfit for the upcoming holidays > After all that you went cloths shopping >Ling really liked that and got lots of stuff >She REALLY likes socks and scarves >After all that was done as well as her trying to eat a whole watermelon, you decided to bring her to a doctor after a skirmish with a pony >Everything was find according to the nice nurse who was intent on studying Ling alone >Didn’t tell you what he found >He just looked surprised and amused >Though he gave the Urine sample an odd look >Then again from everything you know, piss is yellow, not green >Especially being that green is also the color of her blood >You’ve been driving for a while now though and Ling as explained something you didn’t know >You had decided to ask her about her shell and the cracks >Which she replied in a very matter of fact simple way was that she molted >Like crabs, or crawfish >Shits neat yo >But now, you’re in thought >Bringing Ling home, not the best idea, she’ll get rowdy and playful >At least its nothing sexual like some owners >Ling apparently can see your thought look and has gone into her own little world >You believe she’s talking to her sisters in the hive, but you have no idea >You ultimately decide on driving around for a while and stop down by the pet store >Ling looks up from the dash and sees where you two are >“Hey, why are we here?” >You open the door and hop out “The last stop we needed to make, You’re not going to cause me trouble and that old leash is going to snap any moment” >She huffs, following suit and hopping out along with you >“So you want to get me a new LEASH of all things” >You nod and grab the one on her “Law says I have to, and I think you’d look better with a new one” >Ling looks at you, but refuses to move closer, making your hand yank back >“I’d rather not” “I’d rather you would” >“I don’t want a leash at all Anon” “This is one time you don’t get to make the choice Ling, now come on” >She still keeps from moving “Okay then, I’ll carry you and make you look like a fool” >“You wouldn’t” “Don’t doubt my ability to spill spaghetti Ling” >“But you don’t have any noodles on you” >You grunt and grab her around the barrel >She yelps and flails around, but you keep a tight hold on her and carry her in >She looks like a pissed off cat “Its an expression, to spill spaghetti” >Ling, however, is too busy pouting to bother listening now, while you carry her through the store to the dog leashes and collars >With the number of chains and spiked collars however, you now remember why you hate going to the only pet store in town >Its ghetto as fuck >Actually there’s an adult store on one side of the plaza, and a ghetto style clothing store on the other >Fuck this place >None the less you go through the wall of leashes and collars till you do eventually find the ones that aren’t absolute shit >Ling looks away from you, luckily she isn’t so stubborn as to let you pick out the collar for her >She ends up getting a matching green set “You really like green don’t you” >Ling squirms around till you finally put her down >“Yes, I do, it reminds me of home” >You nod and walk her back to the front of the store >At the front is a pony worker >She looks tired and pissed off at the world >Actually that’s understandable, this shop is shit >The fish tanks even have algae in them >The orange pony with a carrot cutie mark looks up at you two as you buy the leash >“Well, at least it isn’t another damn spiked collar for a black guy” >You stare at her in shock and lean down “Uh, look you may hate your shop, but don’t say that” >She huffs and looks back to the register, ignoring you >Racist ponies, who woulda thought >Anyway you put the new set on Ling >Under the old collar you notice its worn on her carapace a bit >Its much lighter then the rest of her “Does it hurt?” >She looks at you confused, then touches her neck >“Oh, that, no, not really. Just itches” >You put the new collar on and nod >Then Ling catches the blacked out store beside the pet store and blinks >“All the other stores have lights on inside, what’s up with that one” “Oh that’s an adult shop” >Oh shit Anon think before you speak >“what makes it adult?” >Fuck, what do you say >Well anon the truth would work, heck she’d probably want to see what humans are up to in there >Shut up brain that’s not okay >Ling is staring at you >Brain, hurry, ideas “Sex store” >God damn it brain >Ling stares at you for a moment >“why would you want that? I imagine humans don’t have THAT much trouble getting sex, why would they go to a store for it?” >Fuck “No, I mean, they sell supplies for it, toys, condoms, cloths, but, that stores a bit more uh, dirty, than the nice ones” >Ling tugs the leash as she tries to head in that direction >“Some ponies did that, but it wasn’t very common, unlike changelings they’re suppose to be cute little innocent brats” “And?” >“I want to see now” “I’d rather not Ling” >“Why not?” “Its embarrassing” >“You’re silly Anon, come on!” >She tugs harder and you look around >Well, there aren’t that many people around today being a Sunday >And you did need one thing >Fuck it >You bring Ling inside and, unsurprisingly there is a pony working the counter >This ones got a big as fuck horn >Neat >>“Welcome to The Adult Super Store, If there’s anything I can help you with please ask” >And you thought the other pony sounded broken, this one sounds down right depressed >Of course looking her over you see why >Over her cutie mark is a poorly taped on sign >$100 >And you know for a fact she isn’t for sale to a good home >You unclip Lings leash and let her wonder around to look while you approach the pink pony >Oh shit she’s got wings to “Uh, hi, um” >You look at her cheap name tag “Cadence” >The pony looks at you with tired eyes >>“What can I help you with sir” “Uh, I just needed some of the lotion you keep behind the counter” >She rolls her eyes >>“most pony keepers don’t need it” “Well considering I’m not using her for THAT” >This seems to intrigue her >>“Why not?” “because I respect her, and she just got to my house yesterday” >>“Well, that’s, actually nice of you. Unusual but nice” >Cadence gets you the lotion >Its actually decent fapping lotion >Smells decent without perfume to >Only the best for your little buddy “You okay?” >Cadence sighs and leans in >>“Is it that obvious? Look if you’re going to use me I need to call my boss, and I’d really rather not” “Huh? No, you’re a pony why would I want to?” >She rubs her head >>“Oh, sorry. Uh, no reason” >She looks away >Damn that’s one depressed pony >Ling bounds up to you holding >God damn it Ling where did you find a horse cock “Ling please put that back” >“Its so realistic though look at it!” >She wiggles it in your face >Cadence can’t help but start giggling >You face palm “Please Ling, put it back” >“Aw but I want it!” “LING!” >Cadence giggles more >>“Actually that’s on sale, 75% off” >She leans in real close this time >Her breath smells like she’s had a customer not long ago >Ew >>“Look, mares go into heat, I would advise you buy that, or you help her, your choice” >And with that, money on the table >Ling giggled out >“I didn’t really want it, but if you’re offering” >She puts it on the counter >God damn this Changeling, you’re going to need a few drinks after this >Well, 30 bucks for a horse cock and lotion >At leash it’s a lot of good quality lotion >You got out decent at least >Except Ling is now giggling like a mad man cause she’s carrying around a horse cock >“You humans have some strange interests” “Says the girl who just made me buy her a dildo” >“Hey, I just thought it was funny I didn’t think you’d actually buy it” “I swear to god Ling, we’re going home” >She huffs and puts it away behind the seat >At this point you’re both amused and disturbed >Time for home because fuck this >And so you go >Being that you’re currently in the lesser side of town, it takes a good 20 minutes to get home >Scratch that, car wreck, make that 30 >But, when the two of you DO reach your cheap little house, you refuse to carry it in >Ling looks up at you >“How am I suppose to carry all this in!” “You have a mouth, I’ve seen you use it to carry stuff” >“But I don’t want to!” “And I was nice enough to buy all this for you, the least you can do is carry it in” >Ling puts up a bit more protest, but you refuse to let her in the house till she does as she’s told >That gets her, because she REALLY wants to get her room set up >You leave the door open and grab your cider, beer is bitter, cider is sweet and tasty >You turn on the news and take a seat >Ling drags in all the bags, and before long she has everything inside >She kicks the door shut and you wince when it slams shut “Damn it Ling, don’t kick everything, human shit can’t handle it” >She looks back at the hoof prints in the door >“I can see that” >While you chill out and watch the news >Well, mostly chill >Lots of political ideas and things that make you yell at the TV in autism >Ling is in her bedroom setting the place up >You DO have a few chores you’ve thought up while out, but you’ll let her have the luxury of setting the place up how she wants first >Then work >Later that is >When Ling eventually comes out of her room, she has a light bit of sweat on her brow and isn’t a pony anymore >Dropping her disguise, Ling walks over to you and flops down onto the couch >You lean back into the seat and look over at her “You tired yourself out setting up your room?” >She nods and yawns >You huff and bop her on the nose, making her wince, then squirm around “You don’t get off so easy, not after I did all I did for you today” >“You’re kidding me.” “Nope, Ling, you have to work” >Ling rolls over onto her back and lets her head drop with an oof >“I don’t wanna” >You roll your eyes and pat her belly >This makes her flinch then start wiggling >Though she makes no attempt to wiggle away >So you keep patting >When you look over soon after, you see Ling sprawled out similar to a cat >Ling looks up at you, but you don’t make eye contact >You also stop patting her >She grunts >“Anoooooooon” >You ignore her pleads “No Ling” >“That felt good though” >She pouts staring at you >You smirk and look over at her “Fine, you clean the house and MAYBE I’ll agree to more” >Ling looks up to you like you disgust her >Obviously not really, otherwise she wouldn’t request more belly rubs >Bitches love belly rubs >Ling sighs and makes her way to the kitchen to begin clean up >While she does that, you head off to her room >You DID say she could set up the room however she wanted >You didn’t expect this >When you get there you are met with a bit of a mess >All the things you bought her are laid out in a very neat and orderly way >Beds made, clothing hung up, ect >What you didn’t expect however is the walls and floor >The fuck is on them >There isn’t much, looks like she got too tired, but there’s a little of what looks like some kind of green goo on the floor >Or something “Uh Ling?” >“I’m already working anon!” “No, uh, what’s up with your room?” >She rushes in there, holding a dish in her mouth >Ling looks at you and carefully sit’s the plate down >“I.. its nothing” “Ling, what is all this?” >You stare down at her with actual seriousness, not the playful reactions you normally give >She looks around, then grunts >“Its just some.. stuff.. we have in the hive, I don’t know how to explain it.. like…bees have wax in their hive ya know” >You look down at her, then poke some of the goo smeared on the wall >It even feels waxy “Huh..” >Ling looks up at you >“You aren’t mad, are you?” “Is this stuff going to mold or anything?” >She shakes her head >“Its safe” “Then its fine, its your room, but, how’s it made?” >“Trust me, you don’t want to you” >You slowly retract your hand and back up “Alright then” >With that, you make your way into your room >Ling spends her time in the kitchen, cleaning up your breakfast >The light clangs of plates and silverware moving around tell you she’s hand.. er.. hoof.. washing it all >She moves on to the other rooms to clean them to >You sit in your bedroom looking up a couple things >Mostly any information on this waxy stuff >There isn’t much of any information on changeling though, other than what you already knew >Actually you find a forum >Changeling owner forum >Neat >20 members >Less neat >Apparently changelings aren’t the most popular slaves to have >They fight ponies a lot, tend to go behind peoples backs, and often use their shape shifting ability to get away with any number of things >As you read on your find some interesting bits of info >One member of the forum didn’t love their changeling >The changeling would eat normal food, but was always hungry >It eventually started getting sick >Organ failure, it ultimately died >Shit son >After reading up on nearly every post there, you find the real reason the forum was even created >People just can’t seem to keep them alive >All of them died of organ failure or starvation >In fact they rarely ever die of abuse >Or maybe, you think, the abuse is the cause of their death, without it being the physical torture >Odd creatures indeed >After a few moments you hear a loud cough and the sound of plastic smacking something hard >You hop up and run to the bathroom >Ling is standing outside the bathroom and keeping the door closed >She looks at you >“Everything’s fine” >She gives you a shit eating grin “Fine huh?” >“Yep, no problem here at all” “What’s that smell?” >“What smell I don’t smell anything” >You stare at her, clearly smelling bleach >She just grins up at you, blocking the doorway >You go to push the door but she blocks your way >“Everything’s fiiiiiiine don’t worry about it” >She bats at your hand as if waving it off “Ling open this door” >“Naw, its all good” “LING” >She chuckles >“There’s nothing going on anon, its fine!”

start coughing >There’s a half gallon of the stuff just sitting in the middle of the bathtub >And the drains clogged by the cap >FUCK >You rush over and grab the cap from the drain >Shit nigga concentrated bleaching fucking burns >Hurrying out of the room you go into the kitchen to wash off the bleach while Ling follows behind >She gulps >“You aren’t mad are you?” >You look back at her “Did you do it on purpose?” >“What! Of course not! I’m not an idiot you know!” “Then I’m not mad” >She looks up at you confused for a moment before sighing >“Thank the Queen. I thought you’d be mad” “I’m not mad at you. But I am mad. Now there’s bleach in the tub. Use it” >She deadpans and stares at you >“Really?” “Absolutely. Ling. Don’t just waste like that. Get to work” >She goes to speak but then cuts herself off and shakes her head >She goes back to the bathroom to get back to work while you wash off the cap and set it on the counter “Fucking hell Ling.” >You sigh and shake your head >You lean on the counter thinking about what you read >At this point you can only assume that without giving her enough love, she may die >And that’s not something you want to see, as much of a pain in the ass she is, she’s nice to keep around >Like a good roommate >That and its not like they sell slave insurance, she dies and the money to spent on her is just out the window >Maybe you should spend some time with her to talk things out >You sigh and turn around “AAH!” >“AAH” “AAH” “>AAH” >OH FUCK ITS “Oh, Hi Ling” >You say holding your chest >Ling is standing up in a defensive stance >all fours spread slightly, wings straight up and bussing, and horn pointed forward >You both stare at each other for a minute >“Uh, Anon.” >She slowly lowers her defense and sits down, looking up at you >You stare at her waiting for her to continue, as you must regain your ability speak >Shit got 2spooky there for a minute >“So, uh, yeah, Anon. I cleaned the bathroom, but the only clean towels are the ones you bought me. Where’s the cloths hamper” >You blink, oh shit, that thing >You motion her to follow you and you go into your room >In the closet you pull out, not a hamper, but a cloth bag “I don’t have a washer and dryer here” >She stares at you >“a what?” “Washer and dryer” >“what, you don’t have a washboard?” “W.. what.. no” >The two of you stare at each other >“How do you wash cloths then?” “The Laundry mat” >She looks at you like you’ve explained quantum physics to her “We’ll go later so you can understand” >Ling shrugs and moves on to cleaning up the living room >You take your sack of dirty clothing and bring it with you, sitting it next to the front door >Ling is trying to use the vacuum with her mouth >She’s actually doing a surprisingly good job at it >Though some things do require fingers, and that is not something ponies are good as it >Ultimately, Ling gets things finished within an hour, working pretty fast >She cleaned everywhere but your room >Not that you’d want her to discovery the hidden treasures in your cave >Those are not for the weak of heart >So off to the laundry mat for human and changeling >Changeling, not so happy to be going, as she’s mad to lug around the cloths >You, on the other hand, a bit happier to go >Seems you have been sitting on this trip for a while >You help Ling up into the truck and pats her back >She gives an angry hiss, then laughs and sits down in her seat >You look over at her >Ling chuckles as she turns to you >“You’re really getting back at me? Why?” >You shrug “Naw, not getting back at you, making you repay is more like it >“I’m a slave, you know that right, I don’t think I should have to repay you” >You glare at her >Ling sticks her forked tongue out at you “I see your point, but no, I just spent almost 150 bucks on you to make you more comfortable. The least you can do is take care of the house” >Ling taps her chin >“seems surprisingly fair” “I’m a fair person” >Ling gives a confirming nod >“So far, I suppose so” >“I’ll keep complaining about your smelling clothes though” >She mumbles that second bit under her breath >Silly changeling >You start up the truck and go on your way >Its quiet for a few minutes >Ling looks over at you >“So, what’s this washing machine thing” “Hm,, well you said you use washboards. Its basically the same. Except automated” >“Interesting” “the ones we’re going to, you insert your money, and put everything in, set the time, and wait” >“That’s it?” “That’s it” >She looks down at the bag of clothes, fiddling with the string with her hooves >You pull into the parking lot >Ling blinks looking up >“We weren’t on the road long” “I assumed you didn’t want to carry that stuff for 4 miles” >Ling taps her chin, thinking >She seems to come to a realization >“I suppose 4 miles to carry your sweaty clothes would be a bit much” “I figured as much” >Upon your arrival, you take the bag from Ling >Ling goes to hop out, but then remembers she’s suppose to be disguised in town >WOOSH >Standing before you is now a taller while pony with a pink mane >Her butt mark is three Fleur-de-lis >The fuck does that mean >She hops down and looks at you >You hold up the bag to her >Ling rolls her eyes and takes it, using her magic to lift it up >The horn sparks a bit at first, but then quickly the bag is caught “So uh, who’s this?” >“Oh, yeah, you don’t know the ponies. This is Fleur. She’s a noble unicorn type, She’s super model” “Why’d you choose a famous pony form? What if someone notices?” >“That’s the cool part about the hive mind! One of my sisters already took her place before, so she knows everything about her. I’m just copying that. So if someone knows her I can just act like her” >You raise a brow “why her though?” >She clops her hooves together shyly and looks away >“I uh, I think she’s really pretty” “She is” >Ling blushes looking away from you >You roll your eyes and motion her inside >The old Japanese lady running the store looks up from her counter >She doesn’t even blink at the pony with you and instead leans back into her chair >She prefers to scan the building for people violating her rules >Old japs are scary when angered >Like wookies, but louder >You lead Ling to the back of the store and to one of the washing machines “Alright, just watch what I do and you’ll understand” >She nods and sits down >You dump the cloths into the machine and fill up one of the receptacles with detergent >“That soap, it looks familiar but..” “hm?” she you show the bottle >“Okay, yeah, its detergent. But its got coloring in it” >You shrug “That’s just how it is, I’ve never seen it without it” >Ling sits there looking at it for a moment before turning back to you >Now with her attention you show her how to change the settings, then close the lid “that’s it!” >“That’s it?” “Yep” >“Wow you humans are lazy” >You nod proudly “Lazy and innovative” >“So now what?” “We wait” >Ling immediately gets up >You get up at well but lead her outside >She looks around a bit confused “I always wait outside” >“Oh” >As you two pass by the vending machines, Ling stops and looks at them >Now that she’s taller she can see into it without straining >You look back at her “See something you like?” >She nods >You have her point it out and you pay the mighty food machine >She wants to try the ‘pretty green drink’ Mountain Dew, and the ‘Chocolate peanut butter thing’ fuck yeah Reeses >You get some for yourself as well, Pay-Day bar instead of Reeses though >You walk her outside and open up the back hatch to the truck >Lifting the old military curtain reveals a much younger bullet proof glass window >Ling pokes the window curiously >“This glass is thick” “Well, When they were doing modifications to these trucks during the war, this one was a transport, I think. They decided adding in a window would make it less depressing” >Ling looks around the small cab and nods >“Yes, there’s much more light now” >You open her candy and drink and sit the two on the ground >Ling chuckles as she levitates up a Reeses and bites into it >Wrapper and all >Oh fuck she’s still eating it >You grin as you watch, letting her eat the whole thing “You just ate the wrapper” >Ling looks up at you >“What? What wrapper?” >You pick up the other one and peel away the black wrapper form it >She stares at it >“EW! Why’d you let me do that!” >You rub her head “Because it was funny” >She grunts and looks away from you >She takes a drink of the Mountain Dew and blinks >“This is REALLY sweet” “You don’t like it?” >“Pony foods are very sweet, I like it a lot actually” “Good because there’s plenty more at the house” >The two of you eat up your small snacks in quiet for a few minutes >But eventually the pretty white unicorn beside you tosses her hair back and turns to look at you >“You mentioned this truck was used in the war?” “Well, the war recovery” >“Hmm, Most changelings missed the war, we came in afterwards” “Yeah, I remember a little of hearing about some black ponies with holes invading afterwards” >She shrugs >“Well, more like, we came down to investigate disguised as ponies, but bad communication lead to an all out battle” “Then you all retreated once they found out who you really where?” >“Close, but no, we retreated when they brought out actual guns against us. When we die we loose our form. So them discovering us came as part of it” “I see. “ >“Chrysalis said she saw the whole war between ponies and humans, but I can’t access her memories without permission” “So you want me to tell you what I remember” >“yep” “I can do that” >Ling wiggles her butt into her seat and turns to face you >You turn to her just as she wiggles >Oh god that’s adorable “Right, well, I guess it happened, around a year ago now?” >“Hmm, the original ponies showed up around a year, yeah” “The first few ponies got here and people freaked out, ya know, scientists wanting to dissect them and stuff. They didn’t even care if they could talk or anything” >“But why?” “Because you don’t look like us, so study them” “Anyway, I guess we did some studies that didn’t go public at first, but they were psychological” “Of course, humans, being curious as we are. Did eventually start researching, publicly it was natural death, but the ponies who followed, they knew better, The large white one and smaller blue one” >“Luna and Celestia” “Right, well, they came in demanding our hostages. But the humans didn‘t see them as hostages, and we went back and forth, claiming they were here of their own will” >“Why though, clearly the ponies would want to go back home” “Because we already killed them. It was only 10, and no one knew how to care for them. Whenever they put up fights and protests, the human reaction is to fight back. But obviously a pony can’t handle a tazer like a human” >‘Well of course not, use changelings are the same way, something about you humans, either your hearts are stronger, or we’re weaker on this planet” “So, I guess they just refused to tell the truth, for fear of sparking war, but Luna got tired of waiting around and decided she would set up a raid to see the ponies in person” >“It didn’t go so well did it” “Naw, officially 2 humans got hurt, but I think they just wanted a reason to fight back. Small battles between sides, but things got worse, because the ponies refused to let up” >“they’re a proud species” “Just as proud as us. But when we actually REALLY fought back, like, with guns. They gave in pretty fast. And since the news kept showing us video and images of fighting ponies, I guess people got it in their minds that the ponies were savages, it started as relocation programs, but it grew into slavery” >Ling nods, leaning back into her seat >“I remember most of that, the changelings came in just afterwards” “I don’t remember much about that, what happened?” >‘We came in secret, with the others as ponies. Eventually one of us ended up loosing our form and the person who was helping ‘relocate’ her panicked. He killed her” >You lean forward to listen >Ling takes a drink of her dew >“The queen wasn’t happy. She sent in a small team to get the body back and demanded that human brought in to our courts” >“You humans didn’t take well to it though, and with the ponies explaining what we are. The humans just started killing us” “Yeah I did remember hearing a public announcement to either put you guys out or kill you because you’re parasites” >“Well, Chrysalis didn’t know what to do, she called back as many as she could and joined up with Celestia and Luna to close the portal” >You sigh and reach out, petting Lings head as her face changes from one of remembering to one of somber thinking >“Twilight, Cadence, the ponies who got left, and the changelings who got left all had to stay on this side of the portal. Twilight and Cadence stayed to try and sort things out, and to open the portal again when the time comes. Everyone else. Well. Who knows. I stayed because I was trapped” >Ling looks up at you saddly >‘I’ll never go home” “Don’t say that Ling, you might one day” >She looks down and slowly pulls you into a hug >it’s a bit strange due to her bigger size and soft white fur, but you hug her back >“I hope so” >Both you and Ling sit in the back of the truck on the little cot >Both of you have long since finished your sweets, but Ling hasn’t bothered to get off you >Really is barely been 30 minutes since you arrived at the Laundry mat >You poke your head out to look through the window >The asian lady is staring at you >Ling looks at you confused >“What’s wrong?” “Asians” >“huh?” “She’s watching us” >Ling sticks her head out and looks >She eeps and yanks her head back behind the cover of the truck >“That’s creepy” “She does this every time I come here. I have no idea why. She just watched me” >Ling hops off your lap and looks back at you >“What should we do?” “I usually just ignore her. Not worth risking pissing her off” >“I see..” “Wait, you can feel emotions right?” >“Sort of, yeah, why?” “When we walk by, check her out and tell me what she’s feeling” >Ling giggles and covers her mouth with her hoof >“Okay” >You close up the trucks heavy steel doors and make your way back into the building >As the two of you pass by the old chink Ling gets a look like she just ate something nasty and hurries to keep up with you >Near the back, with the machine you put your cloths in, Ling looks up at you with those pretty purple eyes >“I don’t think she likes you” >Well, fuck, thanks captain obvious “anything else?” >“I dunno, just a REALLY strong disgust” “You think she’s still mad about that prank..hmm” >You hold up a bottle of bleach >Ling winces “Yep she is” >That is one mission accomplished then. >Soon enough your cloths are done washing and you open the top >Ling looks down at them >“Okay now what?” >You go over to one of the big metallic driers “You put the cloths in here, insert the coins, and I’ll show you the settings” >Ling does as she’s told >Being that shes in a unicorns form, that makes things a lot easier >You point out he settings “And for the love of god don’t mess these settings up or it will shrink the cloths” >“Which is bad?” “Very. Just don’t mess it up” >“Okay master” >Master was in a rather snaky tone >You glare at her >She just puts on a big shit eating grin “One of these days Ling, One of these days” >Ling suddenly looks around nervously and motions to you >You lean down “What?” >“Anon you can’t say my name in public when I’m disguised” “Huh? Why?” >“Remember that pony that recognized me” “Yeah, oh” >“Exactly. Unless we meet the pony who’s form I am now, I’ll try to only use this one. Her name is Fleur De Lis, She was some kind of big super model. “ “Er..Okay then Fleur it is” >“Hopefully she doesn’t live here, that’d be weird” “Well, odds are if she was a super model she’s in the city” >Ling nods in agreement >“Most likely. Still, better to be safe than sorry. “ >You take a seat near by and lean back “I guess now we wait” >Ling doesn’t respond, instead she watches the clothes tumbling >Like she’s in some kind of trance or something >Silly ponies >She watches them the whole time they’re in the machine, and when there is a faint ‘ding’ >She goes to it first though and opens it up >You take the bag out >Being the smart one you are, you took the cloth clothing sack and washed it with the cloths >Its off color now but who gives a fuck >Putting everything back up you turn around “Ling?” >No response >You looks around and walk over to where she just was >You hear a faint grunt >Following the sound you realize she’s right in front of you >In the drier >You gulp, thanking the lord that the old ladys glare has moved to some other poor person >You look into the drier and there she is “Uh, Fleur, what are you doing” >“Its warm in here” “Ling seriously get out” >“No” >God damn it Ling >You are anon >You drunkenly bought a changeling >The changeling is currently in the form of a super model pony by the name of Fleur >She has also decided to climb into the warmth of the drier >And you’re deeply confused >The fuck are you doing to do about a large white pony sitting in a drier >Well you could turn it on >No brain that’s a bad idea, you’d scare her >Then again… >No >Yes >You shut the door >Ling ignores it, curled up contently >You poke the glass “I swear I’ll start it” >“You wouldn’t” >You reach up >She gasps out and pokes at the door attempting to get out >You aren’t having any of that >You lock it >“O.. okay anon, I’m sorry, now let me out” “Hey, you wanted it warm” >She gulps >“S.. seriously let me out” >When you go to press a button >Honestly it was the stop button, but can’t let her know that >She panics and stands up, bonking her head on the top of the machine >You laugh and open it up >She tumbles out and grabs onto you >“That wasn’t funny!” “Yes it was” >“No it wasn’t” >You put your hands on your hips and cock your head looking down at her >“Maybe a little” “That’s the spir-” >You are cut off by the howl of the wookie >Wait no, that’s the pissed off asian lady >Hory sheit she speak Engrish “YOU PUT PONY IN DRYER NO PONY ARROWED IN DRIER YOU REAVE” >You look up and look at her >She’s fucking glaring at you >Even Ling is wincing from it “GO NOW” >You grab your shit and pick Ling up under your other arm >Huh, she didn’t gain weight by changing form >Neat >You casually walk past her, ignoring her telling you to leave, as you already are going >Once out side to hurry your walk and make your way to your truck, quickly hopping into the safety of the vehicle >Ling is giggling like a mad mare and sticking her tongue out at the lady >She it pointing her finger and yelling “Ling, quiet” >She looks over to you >“I didn’t say anything” “You wanted to” >“You bet your flank I do! Her accent is hilarious!” >You put the key in the ignition and grin at her >You put your hands to the sides of your head >You use your thumbs to tug your eyelids into a slanted shape >We racism now “YOU GO NOW PONY NOT ARROWED IN DLIER” >Ling cracks up and you do to, the both of you laughing your asses off as you make the great escape >Wew, she understands comical racism! >+1 for the shape shifter! >Well at least your cloths are clean >Well, off you go back home >The journey, while short, is quiet as can be >Ling has gone back into her little trance >You can see a bright smile on her face though, seems she’s sharing what happened with her changeling friends >What you wouldn’t give to know what’s going on in a hive mind like that >Oh look you’re home >You really need to stop with the internal monologue >Naw >Its around 2 months later >For a while Ling seemed to be slightly, off, retreating to her room more often >She also seemed to be hungrier >You’re 99% sure she isn’t pregnant, she hasn’t been around many other ponies, and the ones she’s been around have been female >Actually the lack of male ponies is an interesting situation >Seriously why are there so many females and so few males >Regardless, this past month has been a bit rougher on you, Lings corny, if a bit off putting, jokes and attempts to anger you have been missing in your life >And you really want them back >Today however you are met with a pleasant surprise >Ling has decided to come out of her cave >You went to bring her some food, whether or not she needs it, it makes you feel better to see her eat >When she opened the door “Oh uh, Hi Ling, I brought you some dinner” >Only her head is poking out and that concerns you >You try to peer in and she holds the door >“You can uh, just sit it on the-” >You boop her on the nose “No, I want to talk to you” >“No, uh, that’s okay Anon, I’m fine” “Ling I’m serious let me in, its been over a month” >Ling gulps some >“I dunno Anon I don’t want you to see me like this” “Why whats wrong?” >She looks away >“I uh..” “hm?” >“I’m molting” “Wait, that’s it” >She nods “I used to own a pet crawfish, I can handle it” >She rolls her eyes >“I’m not some freshwater lobster” “You’re pretty damn close” >“I’m going to kill you” “I know” >You laugh and sit the salad down, putting both hands on the door “Let me in, I’m tired of letting you have your way” >Ling sits there holding the door, she gulps as she considers whatever it is she’s considering, but eventually she nods and pulls back >Inside you see almost half of her carapace laying on the bed >Holy shit that’s creepy >Not only that but the entire room as been renovated >Its covered in that goo stuff and a black substance >You assume this is what the hive looked like, at least what Ling thought of it >Its kind of cool, but still freaky >Its also warmer than the rest of the house “Whoa, Ling” >She is still hiding behind the door >“Mhmm..” >She grunts “Is this why you’ve been hiding in here for a month” >‘uh, kinda, sorta, maybe…yes” “This is amazing ya know” >“What is?” >Ling magics over a blanket >Good lord the whole levitating objects will never get normal to you >She wraps it around herself and steps out from her hiding spot, looking to you confused “You basically terraformed this room” >“Oh, that, its kind of a normal instinct for me” “Try not to do the rest of the house” >“Its specifically to our living area” “Good, still, this is really cool” >You feel over the wall, its solid as rock >You walk over to the bed and look at the perfect mold of the left side of her body, minus the head “Why is there only half though?” >Ling blushes and looks away from you “Hm?” >“well, uh, the thing is” >You look towards her, holding up her exoskeleton “what?” >“I’m kinda” >She mumbles “What is it?” >“stuck” >The look you are given tells you not to laugh >Too bad >You chuckle and hold up the arm of the half “Oooh noooo she’s stuck inside meee” >You wiggle it and it breaks off >Fuck >Duct tape and super glue man >You have an idea “Need help? >Ling gasps and covers her face >“N…no of course not! I’ve done this many times! I’m fine!” “You sure you don’t sound fine” >“OF COURSE…maybe” “Well, if you need me, I’ll be here to help” >Ling whispers >“thanks Anon…” >You nod and rub her head as you make your way out >Hold on, can um..you start a bath for me?” “Why?” >“It’ll make it easier” “Oh, sure” >You make your way across the hall and start up the bath >You add in some soap for maximum bubbles >Bitches love bubbles >You hear a loud sigh from your bathroom >Maybe it wasn’t that loud, you live in a small house >Actually you’ve been thinking of moving >Maybe Ling will finally help you out if she gets word of your plan >It would certainly help with hers >Maybe >After some time you hear moans and struggling from the bathtub though >Not something you want to hear from a changeling peeling her skin off >You hop up from the computer and hurry into the bathroom >Without even knocking you open the door >There stands Ling, ass in the air, tail raised, and her pulling at her leg >It would be sexy if half her body wasn’t crusty and black and the other half fleshy and green >You stand there for a moment while Ling stands there staring at you from between her legs >You want over >Ling flinches and tightens up >You tug her tail down >Little anon is not happy >Brain is happy >You are concerned >Ling is confused >The bathtub is confused “Ling if you needed help you could have called me” >“AHH!” >You pat her rump to calm her scream “Ling for gods sake hold still” >She doesn’t move a muscle as you carefully slide your hand down her leg >This is really weird >You squeeze occasionally, hearing a small crunch and Ling grunting >You carefully pull as you go down her leg, making several passes >Ling whines and lets out the occasional moan >“S..stop it!” >She blurts out, but you don’t stop >You keep working her leg >There is a soft crunch and a popping noise as her leg from the knee down separates from the carapace >You slide it off like a sock >You chuckle as you pull the hardened carapace off her >She lets out a strained whining noise, the flesh clinging occasionally to the leg >You refuse to stop though till its fully off >She pants looking up at you >You flash her a grin >You move over to her front leg, bending over her to get to it >Ling whimpers out and tries to tug away >You take grip of her tail >You start repeating the process of gently tugging and squeezing her leg >Soon the two of you work in motion with each other and Ling rolls onto her side >She flutters her wings as you grip the torso of the shell >You carefully pull and she bites her lip >If she had her fangs she’d be piercing it >Her wings, you notice, are attached by a very small joint hidden under the carapace >How they are durable enough to stand being tugged at you’ll never know >Ling suddenly moans out and cranes her neck as the large torso portion of her shell starts to slide off >There is an audible gasp and moan as it tugs free in one quick motion >She lays there looking up at you >You are holding half her shell in your arms looking down at her >Ling slowly smiles and holds her arms out >“Hugs?” >Your arms are full of carapace >But there is a green fleshy changeling wanting hugs >Oh shit what do >You carry the parts into your bedroom with the rest of it and drop it down >You walk back in >Ling has moved back into the tub >You chuckle “Need some help with this at least?” >“That’d be nice” >You drop you pants >You would drop your spagetti but luckily you decide to help her out with your underwear on >Thank god you kept your grannies old shower seat >You put it into the tub and sit down, Ling takes her place between your legs and you put up the wash cloth >You go to wash her but she winces away from you >“Sweet Celestia, Anon don’t you have anything softer?” “Well I don’t normally help slimy sensitive changelings bathe” >She pouts >“I’m not slimy” “You are in the bath >“fair enough” “But since I am a based motherfucker, I’ll see what I have" >You get up and head back into your bedroom >You have a small stash of micro fiber cloths >You don’t want to use them for something like this, but, Ling is clearly in pain and you don’t like it >You pick an old one up and bring it back with you >She looks at it curiously >You smile “These are about as soft as I have” >She shrugs and wiggles into place, her tail swishes back and forth as you begin your work >You Start carefully rubbing over her body >Being that the two of you have been together for a while now, you aren’t nearly as concerned as when you first bathed her >But you’re way more careful now since shes vulnerable >But you can use this to your advantage >You lift her up >Ling gasps out >“DAMN IT ANON” >You smirk and start washing her, more like a dog this time >Especially on the face >She is all scrunched up and makes the angriest face she can >You laugh at her suffering >You keep washing her with the micro fiber cloth, till that is you get lower >You blink “You have teats, like a horse?” >Ling gasps and smacks you >Her soft hoof doesn’t hurt like usual >Good >“DON’T LOOK DOWN THERE” “No I’m serious, are these?” >“YES NOW STOP I CAN WASH MYSELF NOW THANK YOU VERY MUCH” >You look down at the water >Its kind of murky >You’d rather not know why since you’re almost to your waist in it “Ling please, you’ve lifted your tail for me more than once” >She scowls at you >“Anon you KNOW I can’t help it” “But its funny” >“For you maybe, but for me” >She huffs >“Next time maybe I’ll rip down your pants at the mall” “You wouldn’t” >“Watch me faggot” >She’s picked up your speaking >great >You give her the cloth “Promise not to embarrass me and I’ll stop” >“Deal” “Deal” >You give her a little hug and Ling smiles, hugging you back in turn >Giving up and sitting her down, you walk out of the bathroom >She’ll realize you have all the towels in a few minutes - >You are the now naked Ling >Well, sort of, you’re always naked, but now you’re extra naked without a shell >Anyway you’re relaxing in the tub, the help Anon gave you was pleasant >But goodness is he weird sometimes >You lay back in the tub with a sigh >Your eyes trail downward >What he said rings in your minds >‘oh you have teats’ >It reminds you of.. some things.. >You’d rather not think about it >Trailing your hoof down your stomach you stop just above your nipples >The way he said it was obviously sexual >You’re scary enough in your normal form >But here comes anon, buying you up and not giving a single care >Then on top of that he sees you molting >In you’re opinion a molted changeling makes a normal changeling look like a super model >Your skin is pale green and slightly wrinkled >It’ll be another couple before you grow another shell >A week before its hardened >Yet, for some reason, Anon was completely okay with this >He even washed you >And yet for his clear attraction to you and his obvious innuendos >There wasn’t a single bit of lust in his emotions >And you feed on emotions so you know this shit >You touch the small nipple between your legs, jumping at the electric feeling it gives you >Shit you forgot those even existed, they hide under the carapace >When you become pregnant with a pony foal they’re suppose to grow some >Then they make themselves available from underneath a small slit in your carapace >that slit is suppose to be able to move around >Kind of like the bands around you’re stomach >Which didn’t come off with the molting shell which makes it so much weirder >You wonder what it’d be like >Eh, then again, being pregnant… >Naw fuck that you like being alone with Anon >Maybe he could.. >No, go away thoughts >That’s wrong >You slide down until only your muzzle up is visible above the wall of bubbles in the bath >Thoughts run through your head, everything from Anon, to the life of Equestria >Unsurprisingly, you hear thoughts and opinions follow through >Until that is, one regal one speaks up to your brain, silencing the others >>“Changeling 3946” >You gulp “Yes my Queen” >>“Stop calling me that, I told you all to call me Chrysalis or mom, I’m not some tyrant” “R.. right.. Sorry My qu--Mom” >>“Anyway, 3946, The human calls you Ling. That’s…rather corny, but it’s the name I’ll call you as well” >You nod some listening in, head sinking further into the water “What is it that you need mother?” >>“This human, Anon, he is good to you. But you seem not to know what feelings you have for him?” “Yes..” >>“I feel I should tell you. Do what feels right. Friendship or what have you. Its fine to trust your feelings. We may share the link of a hive mind, but we do not control each other” >You sigh, listening to her, you’d have thoughts on that, but she’d know them immediately >>“Don’t be shy Ling. Spend some time with him and do things you both enjoy. The more I watch him through you the more I realize he may just be the help we need to help your sisters” “If he is.. what will we do?” >>“Recruit him should he be willing. And do what we can to establish a new hive on Earth, we may even bring in run away ponies. Your sisters tell me there are many” “And their fear of us?” >>‘Who knows.. we’ll figure it out when we get there.

I know you’re still young, but, just focus It’ll go away eventually” >Wow thanks so helpful >>“You’re welcome” >Geeze >You sit in silence and squirm in your seat >You swear you can feel that stallions eyes on you the whole time >What else where you suppose to do today >Grocery shop >Check for call from doctor >Dishes >Dishes can wait till after you make dinner >Okay that’s all >Good >That’s not so hard right >There can’t be THAT many stallions in town >Right? >Soon enough, everything is washed >That stallion is still there >Fug >You quickly shift everything over to the drier and go outside >The cool air feels way better on your >Well >Mare bits >And red face >You sigh and walk back and forth in front of the building, thinking >Its only 4 days, no big deal >You sit outside waiting while the cloths dry >Soon enough its done >The stallion walks by you and looks down at you >You swear you see pity in those beautiful eyes >You go inside to gather up the clothes and bedding and carry it home >Luckily the only stares you get are from humans >Thank the queen >You manage to position the key with your horn and unlock the door, dropping everything inside >You make the bed and fold the cloths >Admitably you have no idea where to put his cloths, so you just drop those in place >Your two bits of clothing you put away as well >Next you begin writing out your li- >ring ring ring >Oh >You check the caller ID >it’s the vet >Oh crap >RING RING >RING MOTHERFUCKER RING >Oh right the phone >You reach up to grab it >Hooves be like lolnope >The phone falls to the floor >You grunt and pick it up with magic >Your magic is still fairly strong on Earth >But darn is it noticeably weaker >If all the Equestrian rifts close >Dear lord have mercy on unicorns “Yes hello? Anon is not in at the moment. This is ling” >“Ooh Hey Ling, This is the nurse that examined you!” “I never did get your name” >“I’m Nurse Mattaus“ “Nurse what now?” >“I’m named after a famous guy” “Oh, well, what’s up doc?” >“So, uh, those tests you took last month.” “yes?” >“We lost the results because the doctor here is an idiot who doesn’t care for ponies” “Then why is he a pony vet?” >“Because ponies are expensive. Meaning his clients have money.” >Oh >Well damn “What’d you find?” >“Uh, would it be fine if I came over?” “Sure, I suppose, my master isn’t home though” >“Oh, I can wai-” “No, no, its fine. You have our address right?” >“yeah its in your file” >Huh, Anon actually put work into that >nice “Okay, well I suppose I can wait around for ya” >“I’ll be there in 10 minutes” ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matth%C3%A4us_Hetzenauer ) >When the fellow from the clinic arrives, he does not look as expected >Actually you expected him to be dressed up in scrubs like before >Nope, he has a cigarette in his mouth, his beard is uncombed, and he has a hat on >He looks kinda spooky “Oh, you got here fast!” >“I don’t live far away. You said Anon wasn’t here?” “No, he isn’t” >“You don’t look like yourself ya know” “yeah I know, us changelings are disguised in public” >“Interesting.. well may I come in Ling?” “Sure!” >You step to the side, letting the burly man in >He walks over and takes his hat off >“Ling, I assume you changelings follow the same digestive system as ponies?” “Sort of, it’s a little different, since our stomach has to convert love energy to bodily energy, but it isn’t that different afterwards” >“I see” >You nod and sit beside him >Something’s bothering him “What’s wrong Matt?” >“I’m not.. entirely sure. And it can probably be handled with anti-biotics. But Ling you haven’t been in contact with other ponies right?” “No I haven’t” >“Good” “What’s wrong?” >“Well I’m ordering some more tests, but your urine has something wrong with it” >You blink confused “Huh?” >“Looks, to me at least since I’m the only damn one with any sense. To be a bacterial infection” “That doesn’t sound too bad” >“We don’t know EXACTLY what bacteria it is. If I could find a pony doctor..” >You scratch your head looking up at him confused “I brought a new bacteria into earth?” >“Well, no, it only effects changelings, maybe ponies to, I don’t want to test it. Humans can’t be bothered by it, otherwise Anon would have been calling his doctor by now” “How do you know what it is?” >“the tests managed to catch some of it that had flowed out with your urine” “And?” >“The urine sample you gave us should have been yellow. The green wasn’t the right color. It was blood” >Oh shit >Wait why did you never notice >Fuck >You are a pony, not a fucking horse >That being said the hive is usually dark, and any time you turn into a pony >Maybe you should actually look when you pee >Unlike humans who can just look down when they go through >Ponies don’t have it so easy >They have to stand and turn around >Shits awkward yo >Oh, He’s watching you “I never saw..” >“Wait, you’re telling me you never noticed?” “Well, No” >“You use the bathroom like a horse don’t you” “N..NO!” >He starts chuckling and pokes your nose >THAT BASTARD >“You do don’t you!” “…..yes” >Matthaus looks at you confused for a moment >“Mind showing me?” “Show you….?” >“The process you use to go to the bathroom” >You blush >Shit >Might as well though >You lead him to the bathroom >He stands in the doorway to watch >You turn back into a changeling and lift the lid and seat >these human toilets are a pain in the ass >You turn around and do sort of a half squat so you’re positioned over the bowl but not touching the rim >He does a fake hiss noise “Really?” >“For science!” >He’s grinning his ass off >bastard >When you finish showing him the position, and the fact that you don’t even look back >You use your rear hoof to bump the handle and it flushes >“You didn’t even have to look back?” “Naw, not really. Human toilets are way easier to flush. The handles at just the right height” >“And at the slave house?” “What?” >“How did you go there?” >You look down >Oh yeah >Those “They had these troughs set up behind the cages” >“Oh..” “yeah..” >‘That’s undignified” “You’re telling me...They said it was easier than walking us around like dogs” >"As if thats any better" >there's an obvious hatred in his voice and emotions as he expresses his feelings about that place >you like him "We couldn't really turn around either.." >"I bet you picked it up while in that..place" "Probably" >You are soft and slightly squishy >You are hot and flustered >You’re also a bit embarrassed as you’re still standing over a toilet >Your name is Ling and your vet has come to visit you in person >Which wouldn’t be such a big deal if it where not for the fact that you haven’t done the dishes and you have to go into town >Oh and your vagina feels like someone is holding a lit candle under it >Fuck >“So Ling” >You are jarred from your concentration and look up at the bearded man before you >Nurse Matthaus >You’re going to call him Matt, its easier “yes?” >“I asked if you have anything going on today? I’d like to bring you in for treatment. I can’t exactly carry prescription antibiotics around” >Oh yeah “Uh, sort of. Anon wanted me to do some chores” >“Oh, well, maybe I could help?” >SHIT >HIM WITH YOU ALL DAY? >NOPE >well, maybe, it gets lonely without Anon >And his beard is pretty >It looked better in the clinic when it was combed >Oh right his question “Sure, I guess, if you don’t bother me too much” >You swear he’s grinning a bit too much for your liking >Bastard >“Sure thing. Lets get started shall we?” >Shit what does he have planned.. >Oh well it can’t be that bad >Can it? >The risk was calculated >But man >You’re bad at math >You’re sitting here doing dishes >Using magic of course >Not only has Matt requested you stay in your changeling form >Which he has proceeded to poke and prod and look everywhere but under your tail >Thank Chrysalis >But he has also decided to play 20 questions >Except half the time he is writing shit down >Anons gonna be pissed if he steals his pen >Who wouldn’t be though >As you lift a dirty dish and dunk it into the water, Matt poked your horn >OH FUCK >THE MAGIC SPARKS >You quickly grab the dish and glare at him >“How does this thing work?” >You grunt “My horn?” >“Indeed” “Uh, magic is a natural gift, I can’t explain how it works” >He shakes his head >“Where do you get the energy?” >Oh “Oh, that. That’s easier to explain then” >He nods and gets his pen ready “Generally speaking, theres magic everywhere. In the earth, in the clouds. Heck even the water. Watchers a good focus site for magic. Some places have more magic in it than others due to natural formations. “ >He nods again scribbling “On Equestria, this magic is much more powerful. I even FEEL weaker here on Earth. No idea why though” “So, like Earth ponies, they use the magic passively. They don’t think about it, but when they dig into the ground, they know exactly where to dig without realizing it. They base it off how they feel” >“That doesn’t have anything to do with you though since..” “It has everything to do with us. We’re special. Now shut up” >Matt quickly goes back to writing “Pegasus ponies are similar, but different. Their magic allows them to walk on clouds and when they fly fast enough their magic reacts with the wind and can cause hurricanes” >“Whoa..” “Unicorns. On the other hand. Have no passive magic. Their horn sort of.. concentrates it? Kind of like how my body concentrates love. And the natural magic around them is passively gathered till they use it. The aura the produce” >You lift a plate, showing the dim green aura “is actually magic that’s leaking when we do that. When we release it. The magic is released and either goes back to the planet, or is reabsorbed for later use. None goes to waste though” >“Freaky” “I’m not done. Changelings. We’re unique in that we have passive magic and active magic. Sort of like unicorns and Pegasus combined. But our magic itself is exactly the same as a Unicorns. The reason our horn is shaped different. However, is because our main focus of magic isn’t point, aim, shoot, like a unicorn. Its to inflict the magic upon ourselves. So without the grooves like a unicorn horn, our magic is less directed” >He stares like wat >“So the grooves in unicorn horns are like rifled gun barrels, and yours is like a smooth bore shotgun” >You shrug “I suppose. Changelings need area of affect more than direct positioning. Since our special magic ability is to change form. ” >He writes most of that down “Now, our queen, She has this wild, jagged looking horn” >>“Hey, My horn is not wild” >You sigh >Matt looks confused >You’ll explain later “Hers has grooves, but is also very smooth. Because being the queen her focus is both area of effect as well as directed magics. I don’t know why its jagged. I guess a status symbol maybe?” >>“Honestly I don’t know either” “Now, all that being said. Changelings are…unique. We contain qualities a bit closer to.. Well, Earth ponies. Believe it or not.” >Matt blinks and stops writing “There are.. legends.. saying Changelings are magically created from a dark magic” >“…Wouldn’t dark magic be evil?” >You put your hooves up waving them around “Maybe I am!” >He playfully slaps your hoof away >You laugh “Anyway,. The legend says we were born from the forests of Equestria itself from one of the many areas of powerful magic. Heck that may explain our similarities to insects” >“What do you mean, areas?” “Well, Equestria is made of magic, yes, but some places are more powerful than others. Strange things happen there. Such as a pond that can clone” >He raises a brow “None the less. If there is a place where the dark magic is strongest. Which I am not aware of any. That place could do things unicorns haven’t documented yet. Being that we feed on love. It is assumed we were created by accident and something went wrong in the process. Chrysalis claims she doesn’t know. But being that she’s the oldest Changeling alive. Who knows” >>“I told you I don’t know anything” >You shake your head >Same excuse as always “Being that the origins are based on us coming from one of these spots. And that we can sense emotions. We sort of assume we use the same passive magic as Earth ponies, and Pegasus, while also being able to focus magic like unicorns. Alicorns can do this to of course” >“Wow, Ling, that’s amazing” >You grin up at him >Even through his smile you can tell somethings wrong >He feels >Bad for you >The idea of being a created and incomplete species must bother him >It bothers you to >Changelings aren't evil >We just want to make the hunger go away >“The insect relations would certainly explain the wings” >You look back at yourself >You buzz your wings >You do sound like a mosquito “I suppose so. They’re certainly unique to the Equestrian world” >“Oh, they are?” “Yeah, very” >He reaches over >Please don’t touch them please don’t touch them ple- >He touches >You shiver and bite your lip “they’re extremely ticklish. At least for me” >He laughs >“That’s unique to you?” “Its one of the few things that separate me from the standard drone. When you have a couple hundred kids, ones bound to have a mutation or two” >“Huh?” “The wings, and my clothing affinity” >“I do remember you wearing socks” >You not and chuckle “I was born with sensitive nerves in my wings. All changelings have nerves in their wings, but mine are sensitive” >You buzz them again, showing off their form >They shine in the light and the veins in them become clear >They’re extremely similar to a standard beetles wings actually “When not in use they usually hide under a protective shell. But when I’m molted. Theres no shell. They are easily ripped, and torn, but are very flexible.” >He reaches over and grabs the tip >Then bends it down so the tip touches the middle >yep, flexible as rubber >Thin as paper though >Very buggy >“These remind me of a bug called a lacewing. They’re very pretty” >That makes you blush nice and green >And he can’t help but smile and slowly release your wing >“How durable are these?” “Like I said. They can be ripped, bend, or cut, like paper. Both durable but also very fragile. “ >“They’re a little moist” “If they weren’t then they’d get all flakey and ichy” >“I see..” >You put the next dish into the clean water >Dry >Scrub >Soap >Water >Dry >Put away >Repeat >Over and over several times >A number of plates, bowls, and two mugs later you’re done >You sigh and turn around >You yelp and trip over yourself >Matt quickly catches you >You gulp and stare at him >He has a hand on your leg hole >Oh god he’s touching it >What the fuck man that’s mess up “What the hell are you doing?” >Matt looks at you for a moment >He slowly retracts his hand >“Sorry, I didn’t think you’d move. Did you feel that?” “I did when you actually touched me” >He stands in silence >You’re glaring >You don’t just start touching like that “Why?” >“Huh?” “Why the hell did you poke my hole?” >“Oh, uh, I just..” >He scratches his head >“sorry” >You sigh and roll your eyes walking by him “If you want to know just ask, but if you touch me again without permission I’ll kick your ass” >“Hey, you can’t do that. Ponies aren’t allow-” >You put your hoof up and hiss at him “If it came to that. I’d make sure you couldn’t speak. Even in Equestria we had laws saying if you break into someone’s home, they can incapacitate you” >He looks visibly nervous >“You wouldn’t” “Knock you out and claim you’re an intruder? I did it in equestria. I’ll do it again. Test me” >Matt raises a brow and puts on his thinking face >“Well, point taken then Ling. I’ll be careful” “Good. Now if you insist on staying to ask me these insane questions. Please help me out. I need to go shopping.” >You focus only for a moment before bursting into green flame >He gasps and jumps back screaming >You laugh manically, happy to have spooked him >Instead of a pile of ash, of course, you instead are a lovely white unicorn “I rather not be seen in public without a disguise. Scares the ponies” >He writes that down >You put your socks and a scarf on, waving him out >He goes for his keys but you shake your head “No thanks, I’d rather not” >He shrugs and does as told, Locking the door for you and you put the key on your horn >And off you go to the store, ready for more questioning. >“So wait, you guys share each others thoughts?” “In a way, yeah” >“How? Do you have antennae or something?” >You nod and point up to your ear >You quickly realize you’re not in the form of a standard changeling, but instead walking down the road disguised as Fleur De Lis “Well, When I’m a changeling you can see it better. The veins in my ears arent veins” >Matt blinks and looks down at you “They’re like hundreds of little antennae. Really powerful actually. I Don’t know how ti works. Magic probably. But they keep us in contact with each other” >“You’re a walking radio” “A what?” >“..Its hard to explain. But yeah” >You shrug it off and walk >You cross a road looking up at Matt, not where you’re stepping >He looks down at you with a confused face >“So you send signals to each other?” “Indeed! Our signals all meet each other at Chrysalis, our queen, and are spread from there. Chrysalis has her own signals on lock down, queens are built very different and can control theirs, we can’t. It makes it easier on her” >He nods and writes that down “You better return that pen, Anon will be very-” >You scream and grab Matts arm >There is a loud screeching noise >Matt gasps out and grabs you >The two of you fall >You grab onto Matt and close your eyes tight >As your world goes black >You taste something >A bit of blood >And a whole lot of fear >And pain? >When you wake up your leg hurts >So does your head >You hear screams >But not pained screams >Someones REALLY pissed off >The voice is familiar >You should probably open your eyes >Yeah that would be helpful >“WHAT THE FUCK WATCH WHERE YOU’RE GOING” >You hear flesh impacting flesh >That can’t be good >The two voices quiet down >You feel arms wrap around you >There is a groan from an unknown source >You open your eyes and look >There is a scrawny looking nerdy fellow staring at you >OH GOD THE HOR- >His glasses are broken >Lol >He isn’t holding you though >Oh >Matts holding you softly in his arms >You just happen to be facing this other guy >He’s driving >That looks like a prius >Anon always called them the faggot machines >You should probably ask him what a faggot is “Matt?” >“Oh thank god Ling.. You’re fine” “Matt? Whats going on?” >“This asshole” >He shoots a spooky glare at the nerdy fellow >“Decided to run a red light. He said something about him being a free citizen” >You blink confused >Matt waves it off like ‘I’ll explain later’ >You don’t even >Fucking humans >You hear the nerdy fellow start to speak but Matt stands up >You bump your head on the ground >Seriously what the fuck, ouch >“You’re lucky I managed to roll our of your way you motherfucker. If you had hurt her” >He takes a step forward >Oh fuck this nurse is pissed >Reminds you of redheart “Matt. Don’t bother. You humans are stupid” >“Hey!” replies the nerd >You point your horn at him >He slowly backs away and into his car >Huh.. must know about unicorns >Good because you have double vision right now and probably couldn’t focus a spell anyway “Matt for the love of all that is holy, If you don’t tell me what happened I’ll kick your ass” >He watches the car drive off and looks down at you >“Uh, sure, but lets get out of the road” >You stand up and look around >Shaking your head till your vision returns to normal >Matt pats your back and leads you over to the sidewalk >He promptly sits down and smiles at you, holding up your key “Can I have that back?” >He waves it around in your face thinking >“Hmm.. Now why should I do that” >You roll your eyes “I won’t answer any more of your questions if you don’t” >You can see him get caught up on that >He sighs and drops the key back to your horn >You feel it slide down >It doesn’t bump at all >Checking your hooves you see holes >Shit you reverted forms when you blacked out >Quickly the green fire takes you again and you reform to your disguise >“Uh, anyway, When we were walking. I guess that guy saw us and tries to get past us so he wouldn’t have to stop” >You nod >For the understanding look on your face, you feel rather pissed off >Some humans… >“I looked up in time to see his car and grabbed you around your waist” “Barrel” >“whatever. I rolled backwards, but when your leg got between me and the rolls and…well.. I fell” “You’re okay right? My leg feels fine so I know I’m fine. But what about you?” >“I’m fine. Humans are durable. Since you don’t have your carapace I got nervous when you hit your head on the concrete like that” >You sigh and look down “At least we’re both fine” >“Yeah, that’s the important part. Though it was a close one. Lets what where we’re going” >You chuckle softly and nod >Matt pats your back and helps you up onto all fours >You stretch and grunt >“So, do you have bones to break anyway?” “Technically, yet, but only around major organs” >“Huh, I can see how that’s wise. What about the rest of you?” “the rest is VERY strong cartilage. I have to be careful though because its not the most flexible thing in Equestria. Its rather similar to sharks.” >Matt scribbles on his sheet and smiles, putting the pen in his pocket >You start walking >You notice he’s looking at your legs >Yeah, what happened to looking where you’re walking >“But what about the holes then?” “Huh?” >“Whats the point of the holes?” “Hm..oh my leg holes. I don’t even think about them much, I’m so used to it” >“But WHY are they there?” “Now I think that’s the most mysterious question at all, next to our origins that is. Its pretty obvious they serve no purpose. At least, not an obvious one. Chrysalis has been working on finding out for a while, she HAS limited it down to a few theories though. Pending our origins of course.” >Matt raises a brow looking at you “The first theory is that they work as shock absorbers” >“Like, springs?” “EXACTLY! See, Changelings have two main fighting tactics. This is not because of the way we’re trained or anything, these are our fighting tactics we’re born with. Similar to animals clawing at each other because its what they know” >“And what are these tactics?” >You pause >Better ask Chrysalis >Eyy mom can I tell this human? >>“Sure, the humans already know how we fight, so it shouldn’t be an issue. Besides humans can’t come to Equestria anymore” >thanks mum “The first is our stealth, changing form and such, then sneaking into an area. Actually that’s a theory in of themselves, that the holes are there to act stress joints to allow the body of the changeling to stretch or shrink to the correct body shape. We haven’t really proven it being that we can’t see our holes when they change. You can think that fire you saw for that. The other tactic is straight up bombardment. We like to dive bomb from the sky and land on our hooves. Creates a crater and spooks ponies. So the holes can work as shock absorbers to handle that” >“Interesting. The shock absorber makes sense if that’s an instinct of your war” “It is” >“Any other theories?” “Yes, one other one, but its.. depressing, to say the least. You see. Since we may have been born from a corrupted magic pool. Chrysalis has put forward the idea that our fangs and black carapace wasn’t enough of a sign of it” >Matt stops writing and walking >He looks down at you confused “The holes could possibly serve no purpose other than to remind us that we are corrupted beasts” >That hurt just to say >You walk quietly towards the grocery store >>Matthaus went silent after you told him >Well >That >He seems to understand your reaction and didn’t want to push it >Which is good >It isn’t a pleasant thing to think about >If, by chance, changelings were created from some kind of dark magic >They’ve changed a lot >Chrysalis sometimes does irrational things >But you and the rest of the hive have never hurt a pony in your lives >Excluding the whole Canterlot thing >That is what most rational people would call desperation >Except that damned Cadence >Her guards always hunting you >You’re almost glad she got left behind on Earth >Maybe some humans using her prissy little mouth right now >>“Little do you know my little grub” >Damn it Chrysalis >Always knowing things your don’t >You sigh and look up at Matt >Oh you stopped walking >You hurry and catch up to him >he looks down at you and pats your head >“Joining reality again?” “Oh wouldn’t you like to know” >“Hmph. You’re stubborn as a mule you know that?” “Never. I couldn‘t be stubborn” >Clever response. 10/10 Ling gg “Eh.. I was just thinking is all. About some things.” “New things, compared to old, that is” >“Ah. Comparing your situations?” “No, not mine. An old enemy I had in Equestria” >“Mind telling me?” “I’d rather not even talk about her” >Matt chuckles and nods >I understand. I've been there” "I doubt it" (There is a hidden john cena within the last 20 lines. because i'm cheeky) >Soon the two of you reach the store >Thank god >The walking and bullshitting was getting awkward >“Alright. Did you get a shopping list?” >You nod and hold up a small list >Matt takes it and looks it over “Some of this will be on the top shelf. So I’ll help with that” >“Huh? Why? I have ma-” >Matt puts his hand over your mouth >You hiss at him >“Don’t say that” >“Unicorns aren’t allowed to use magic in public.” >You look at him confused >“Most people don’t care. But it just takes one.” >You grunt and spit at him to get the hand taste away “Next time I’ll take it” >He shakes his head >“Ling. You may not be my slave. But I am genuinely interested in your species. If something happened to you I’d have to deal with Anon and loose the only chance of a changeling I can study” >Hmm >Good point “Okay..” >You walk beside Matt down the isles looking for the different things you had listed >You of course are not a fan of meat >Whether or not you can eat it doesn’t matter. Anon can do that himself. “Why ARE you interested in me?” >You put a head of lettuce in the cart >“Heh. That’s hard to explain” “Well we have time” >“Okay then..It started with the invasion” “Which one?” >“Changeling. Ponies are cool to, they’re why I started as a vet, but Changelings are much harder to find and are more interesting” “How do you mean?” >“That should be obvious. The teeth, the fact that they don’t eat normal food, the bug like parts” “Ohhh that’s what you mean. I guess we are unique” >“I’m not creeping you out am I?” “No, not really. You haven’t pushed anything, especially now that I’m rather vulnerable. You’re just a bit obsessive” >He smirks and pats your head >Not the ears! >BASTARD >He scratches behind your ears making your leg kick >Matt laughs looking at you >“I’m just interested in learning more about your species.” >You can’t respond, fighting off the feeling on your head >How dare he violate you like… like this! >You hiss at him! >Its not very effective! >You try lightly moving away, without being too fast >It works! >You escape the scratchies and glare at him putting on you rmost serious scrunch! “Don’t ever do that again!” >He just grins down at you and crosses his heart >“Okay, okay. No need to get worked up” >You huff and walks faster a head of him >He easily keeps up, playing along with you >“Pouting” >You ignore him and keep walking >“Oh yeah, we spoke a bit about how unique you are. I do have more questions you know” >You try to ignore him >He won’t let up though until you answer >Still.. >You grab some hot sauce and look back at him “Fine. “ >“The bands around your stomach, What are they?” >You look up at him surprised “Really? You don’t know?” >“Not really” “Huh, I would imagine you’d know about things like that” >“Maybe, I dunno. What are they? I saw they didn’t come off with your carapace” “Nope. They’re a stretchable section of my body” >“Why?” “unlike normal bugs. We CAN over eat. And when we get pregnant we have one solid sheet of carapace with only a few sections to it” >“Ooooh, I see” “Exactly. Its an expansion area. In case we over eat or get pregnant” >“Whoa” “Of course our queens are bright blue. Because hers are much less protected. She gets pregnant more often and eats the most. So hers adapt to be more stretchy and less protected than ours. Ours being like soft chitin. Hers being more like rubber” >“That’s..really freaky” “You can also see her internal organs” >“…cool” >You roll your eyes as you look at Matt >Standing in the check out line, the longest part of the trip, you’re a little annoyed >“So you’re telling me your life cycle is similar to a bug, right?” “Well, closer to an Alien from the movie my master showed me” >“Yeah, Egg, larva, young, then normal” “yeah, our larval stage is similar to the chest bursters. They look like the older ones but have a worm like body” >“Hmm..Do you change form when you get older?” >You nod “Yes, when we look like young, which are just a child version of my normal form with soft chitin, we are chosen for our jobs. Our body forms accordingly” >“WHat are you?” >You chuckle “I’m a medic. My eyes formed to be able to focus better than others, so I can see smaller details of injuries, my chitin isn’t hardened like a warrior, and I’m more dexterous with my hooves” >“What about the others?” “Well a warrior, for example, their eyes are very normal and have the same eye sight as a pony, but their chitin is much harder, like metal” >“What kind of metal” “Steel, I suppose. I dunno. Its just hard” >“You mentioned the eyes, what about them?” “Huh?” >“They’re blue, are they all like that?” “yeah from the outside all our eyes look the same. But that’s just a protective film, so we don’t have to wear goggles when flying at high speed. Or during take off. Since our wings buzz more like a bee” >“Huh. Do you all look the same like that?” “Yeah, pretty much. No hair or anything.” >“Can you grow hair?” “Nope. Only the queen can. She gets all the special looks.” >You move forward and Matt puts everything on the belt >You look around and when Matt isn’t looking pass the pony cashier a box >She gives you a confused, then understanding look and scans the multi colored box >You grin happily at her >She hides it into a bag underneath the other items >When all is said and done you might have bought a little over budget >Just a bit >Okay a lot >$200 on a $100 dollar budget >Well at least Anon will be well fed >Hopefully he wont be too angry so that you can be well fed to >Matt puts the bags in the cart >You look up at him somewhat confused “Aren’t you going to put the cart back?” >“Naw, I’ll bring it back when we get everything home. This is way too much for you to carry” >You watch as Matt, without a second thought, pushes the cart right out of the stores parking lot >….Everything is fine >You suppose it can’t be that bad as long as he brings it back >Walking with him, Matt has put on a thinking face “Whats up?” >“Just thinking of more questions “Thought up anything?” >“I have some ideas, but I’ve already asked you most everything I know” >You walk a little ahead of him >A passing stallion tries to crane his neck towards you >That makes you speed up a bit >Matt perks up seeing this however >Of course you peeked his interest >Shit >“What was that?” “Oh, well, heh.. I’m in heat” >“You are? What are you releasing scent everywhere?” “In a way, yeah. I don’t like, produce pheromones if that’s what you’re asking” >“Oh, so you go into heat like a dog?” “Hey.. I don’t take kindly to that” >“Oh, sorry, a horse” “…Still not much better” >“Bite me” “Fite me” >I’m twice you’re size, I’ll wreck you” “bring it human ” >You jab your horn at him playfully >He rolls his eyes and grabs your horn >FUCK >You squirm >He leads you by your horn though >You grunt and stop struggling >Matt chuckles and releases you >You jab him in the side >He grunts and grips his side >He bleeds a little through his shirt >HA! >Matt glares down at you >“Ya know I could report this and have you put down” “I know you won’t” >He looks down to you and pulls up his shirt >Your horn barely scratched him >Secretly you’re thankful for that, but can’t let him know >“I suppose you’re right. I wouldn’t want to lose a friend” “Wait, friend?” >“Well, yeah. “ >Oh >He’s surprisingly good at concealing some of his emotions >Maybe he does know a bit much about changelings >Which, you suppose, isn’t a bad thing “Hm. I’m glad I have a friend” >“Of course, if you ponies know any healing magic I would like that” >You shrug “No idea” >“Shit” “Keep in mind I’m not a pony. So I really can’t do everything they can. That and Fleur wasn’t known for her magic prowess” >“Who?” “The mare who I’m disguised as. I take on some of her abilities when I turn into ponies” >“Ah, makes sense. Helps keep up the illusion right?” “Yep” >“Yeeeeep” >The two of you walk in awkward silence >You really don’t know anything about him, but he knows damn near everything about you >He became a vet because he wanted to know more about ponies after not quite making it as a doctor >Really.. that’s it >Maybe you should ask him some questions to pass the time. You have several minutes of walking ahead of you >Hopefully Anon hasn’t called the house >You walk with Matt for a few moments before you finally speak up “So uh, What do you plan to do after this anyway?” >“What do you mean?” “Well you’re following me around, asking me questions, but what about after this?” >“Probably going to get you your medication, then go back to work, why?” “Curious.” “Being that you already know my secrets. We will be needing a doctor in the future, so you’d be the best option” >“True. “I have told you a bit much though. Are you aware about changeling medics?” >“No, I don’t know much about changeling on Earth at all. They tend to get into fights about ponies. At least, that’s all I knew before meeting you” “Well, what I’m going to tell you. Keep in mind my owner is Anon. And he won’t like it if you betray my trust” >He nods >“Anything” “Medics are, well, looked for. We have the ability to heal and create healing.. cocoons if you will. I can’t cure cancer, but I can treat some serious wounds in days that would take weeks to heal from” >“The government wants you doesn’t it” >You go to shake your head but instead you shrug it off >“er.. Whatever , someone wants you, right?” “Bingo. I don’t know if they’re paying for my kind, but they are taking us” >“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone” >You step into the drive way and look back at him “Swear to me you won’t” >He does the mighty pinkie swear and smiles down at you >“Promise” “Good. I’m trusting yo- Anons home” >He looks up >“Whoa. That’s a nice truck. “ “I know right” >He walks over looking the old truck over >“It looks beat up but no rust at all..” >You grin proudly, Anon is a bumbling fool, but he knows how to take care of things >While Matt admires the truck you walk inside >Anon is sitting on the couch with his head in his palms “A..Anonymous. What’s wrong?” >You approach slowly but the feelings you’re getting are on the extreme side >There is a very thick wall of what you can only describe as depression hitting you in the face >Its making you sick “Anon what’s happening?” >You get closer, pushing through the sickening wall of depression “Anon you need to tell me” >He looks up at you >He’s either drunk and sad, or just extremely sad >Personally you don’t care >You wrap your hooves around him and hold him softly >“Ling..” “What happened to you?” >“I got fired Ling..” “That’s not.. so bad, right?” >“It is Ling. I fucked up bad..” “What did you do?” >“I’m.. an IT” “Yes, I know” >“I just ruined the company” “W.. what” >You pet his head slowly looking at him concerned >You don’t know what to say, you hear Matt enter the back door >If a human can sense he needs to stay away.. hen its obviously that bad >Allowing him to continue putting groceries away, you comfort Anon >He’s not just some master after all, he’s been nice to you >Even if its only been a bit over a month >“I was.. Helping my boss remove some viruses from his computer and I fucked up bad” “Removing.. What?” >“Something got into the computers, started stealing records.. When I went in to remove it.. “ >He’s taking this really hard “You need to tell me whats going on..” >“I got my co-workers to help but then.. I deleted everything” “That doesn’t sound like its your fault” >“It is.. They fired me..and they’re going to have to fire a lot of workers..” “You’re taking this too hard..” >“You don’t understand Ling, I just put a lot of people out of work..” “I don’t understand, what do you mean put a lot of people out of work?” >“When I.. broke the bosses computer he.. Fired me, and told me I probably just got the entire IT division fired” “Huh? But, That doesn’t sound like you got them fired” >“I did.. He could fire nearly a thousand people if this doesn’t get fixed” “There are how many?” >“A lot Ling.. If they replace them with Indians, I’m going to have a lot of angry people on my ass..” “That doesn’t sound right..” >“It isn’t right, but that’s just big business for you” “What will you do though?” >“I don’t know.. That kind of thing doesn’t go away” >You rub Anons back and lean in close >You have no idea if he’s going to hate you for it, but.. >Fuck it, he needs someone to help him out >Behind the mask of depression that’s weighing you down, he’s feeling guilty >You take a deep breath and grab him >Is Matt looking through the door way? >Fuck it >Anon squirms under your grip, but you keep your hold >Its now or never >You press up against him and kiss >Your fangs are in the way >You tilt your head and keep kissing >Sensing emotion, he is >Confused >Good it distracts him >You keep kissing him >Anon slowly stops struggling and pulls his hands up to your hips >Ah shit >You keep kissing him, holding him in place so you can keep kissing >Anon closes his eyes and takes in a deep breath >“You smell like, sweet?” “hmph… Shut up” >You swish your tail at Matt >That's all the signal he needs to get out - >You are Anon >You just got fired from your IT job >Because you’re a dumb ass who tried to remove a malware virus you didn’t know how to >And you wiped your bosses hard drive >You suck pretty bad >But more importantly >Your friend, Ling, has decided to try to comfort you >By kissing you >You swear you heard someone else >Naw she doesn’t know anyone >You have no idea how to react right now >Ling is holding you down and kissing you >Oh fuck she’s adding tongue >You end up deciding to put your hands on her hips and kiss back >It doesn’t feel bad >It feels amazing >But this is really weird >You let your tongue play against hers >Hers wraps around yours >No literally it wraps around yours >That’s fucking cool >Wait what >You grab her hips and pull her off you “Ling please” >“Anon, you liked it” >She giggles in your face >This is not okay “Ling, can we not do this” >“Aw..

I guess that would be liberating” “Exactly” >As the two of you go along with the movie, you start taking notes >Ling sees what you’re doing but ignores it for now, too focused on watching what these people are doing with their lives >Retired people moving into RV’s and traveling the country >Teens packing up into a van and doing the same >or people who just want to do something with their lives besides work in a cubical >Truth be told >Its not a bad idea >Not one person is depressed >they’ve all gotten to see the country >their living expenses are half of yours and yet they have all the same crap you do >“Hey Anon?” “Yes?” >“That quote, from the beginning of the movie, who was that?” “Rise free from care before the dawn and seek adventures?” >“Yeah, that one” “Uh, I Don’t know.

I’m your mother” >Oh shit chrysalis >>“yes, me, Don’t you go thinking I’ll be dieing now. Or I’ll smack your brain” >You sigh and shake your head >Sorry mom >You ignore the threats of a brain smack >Whatever it is >but then again knowing chrysalis… >Regardless, you get to work quickly “Well this is a good way to preserve some of their history I guess.” >You sigh and snip off the last corner, followed by your magic sewing >You of course don’t personally know how to sew, but one of your sisters took the form of a pony called ‘Rarity’ and knows all about sewing, er, something >Its kind of neat that you can instantly learn by tapping into memories of your family >You get the feeling that you shouldn’t tell Anon this >He’d probably work you to death “Hey anyone know carpentry” >A chorus of “aye, yeah, what, no, fuck off Ling, and AHH SHIT” flood your mind >You wince “One at a time please! Okay, whoevers the best just.. lend me your thoughts, I wanna try helping my master out” >>“Ling, what are you planning I thought you didn’t like that thing?” “Well, I don’t, but, I want to help Anon” >Chrysalis smirks >>“You like him don’t you” “W..what, no I just, think he is doing it wrong!” >>“Uh huh, Okay Ling” >Chrysalis laughs, whether its evil or playful you can’t tell >You get back to work, sewing each cushion tight and close as possible, wanting to make absolutely sure the cover wasn’t loose or going to be ripped >Its not easy, but you can multitask, sewing all four at once >Of course this makes it take longer >Thanks to raritys borrowed skills, its done in around 30 minutes >Strangely enough, Anon isn’t back >You put the cushion in place, pat them, and look around the RV >What else hasn’t he done? >You don’t want to bring any cloths, dishes, or anything like that out here, so you leave it as it is >Accessories that don’t REALLY need to be done right now that is >So, outside you go >There are a few outside compartments, one has some kind of pump, some valves, and a strange black pipe >You curiously pull the level on the black pipe “OH GOD THE SMELL! ITS IN MY MOUTH!” >You scream and jump back >The worn old tape on the pipe says black water >You don’t want to know what is in there, it smells like something died “I think I found the sewer” >You gag and hurry inside to find something to pour down the toilet >Bleach >Ammonia >A couple other chemicals >So you take them all, especially the ones that don’t smell terrible >There is a long black flexible pipe you hook up to the black one in the RV >You run it into the yard because why not >For now, you do as you would when cleaning the inside of a vase, flushing the toilet with couple chemicals mixed in >While that sits in the tank you walk around looking at other things >A lot of it you don’t understand, so you ignore it, not wanting to break anything >then you notice an uncovered pipe, the panel sitting beside it >Its thin and small, so you think nothing of it, putting the panel back in place >With a content smile you walk around organizing and setting things up for when Anon gets back >You step on some kind of button and hear a hiss >it’s a fast and spooky hiss that makes you nearly jump out of your shell! >With a yelp you grab hold of the first thing you see high from the ground, the sink! >You side in the sink looking around for the source of the hiss “S..snake!” >You cry out kicking at a black object near the fridge >Of course its two feet away but that’s way too close for you! >You cram yourself as far back into the sink as you can and cry out “Anon please hurry home! Anon!” >You whine, and wait >There is no way you’re going to get down with that thing right there! >The county clerk was just as lovely as one would think >Just glorious >a big line of people registering vehicles >One person registering to vote >Funny only one out of the 30 people in line >A couple of marriage licenses >Fishing license >You know, the normal >When you return home you find a pipe across the driveway and the door to the RV open >A curious thing, but you aren’t too concerned >Till that is you spell bleach >A smell you know all too well >And hear sobbing from inside the RV >You rush in as fast as you can >Ling is sitting in the sink reaching out to you >You feel your heart drop >Door dear has been crying >“ANON WATCH OUT THERES A SNAKE!” >wait what “Huh? A snake?” >You hear a faint hissing >Nigga that aint no snake >You walk over and put your foot on the propane line lying across the floor >This stops the hissing >Ling wipes her nose and looks down >“Huh?” “Its just a gas line, come on lets get you out of here” >You wrap your arms around Ling and she grabs onto you tight >When you go to pull however >She’s stuck “Uh, Ling?” >“Hmm?” “You’re butt” >She wiggles it, then gasps >“Shoot!” >You laugh some, but then remember the other smell “Ling, it was just a pipe, but, did you bleach anything in here?”” >“O..oh yeah, the black water thing smelt horrible, so I guessed it connected to the toilet” “Well, You aren’t wrong, but, it’s leaking outside and smells horrible” >She looks down >The trauma of the ‘snake’ seems to be going away, but a new found sadness wells inside her >Its pretty damn obvious to “Its okay, I’ll clean it up. Thank you for helping me” >Ling smiles and hugs you again >She isn’t moving till you get some butter or something though “You just uh, stay here” >She huffs >Outside you go, checking the pipe outside tells you everything you need ot go >She mixed chemicals, which are locked inside the RV but are making some kind of gas >You can guess which one >Damn it all >Well, there is an easy fix at least >You hurry inside and gather up your only bucket >You fill it with water and bring it outside >You WOULD use the water in the RV and just flush the toilet, but it has bleach mixed in, so wouldn’t be a good idea >Along the way back you turn off the propane at the tank >Ling watches you confused as you pour water down the toilet >“Whats going on Anon?” “Well, when you mixed all that crap together, you made some nastey shit. Thankfully you’re pretty high up, and the gas is going outside, otherwise you’d probably be dead right now” >“D..dead?” >You sigh and nod >Ling visibly shutters >When your bucket is empty you go outside and hold your breath >You also move the pipe out of the yard so it doesn’t kill the gas >When the dark, nasty, and poisoned water flows out, the smell starts to go away slowly >Right now your concern is keeping Ling from being upset or hurt so you bring your water hose inside the RV and let it loose inside the toilet to flush everything out “Ling, you tried, and that’s what matters, but, until you learn more about Earth chemicals, leave it up to me, okay?” >Ling nods and smiles warmly up at you >She knows you cant resist that smile >Damn bugs “Plus, you did help me out a lot with something” >She grins brightly >Wait >Smug smirk >“Oh yeah?” “You found the propane leak. I guess I was looking in the wrong place” >Ling puffs out her chest >“yeah, I do pretty good” >You roll your eyes and wait till the smell of bleach is nearly gone >When all is ready, and the pipe is back under the cupboards like it was before, you go inside to get some Vaseline for Ling >Luckily its much easier and less embarrassing rubbing her but than it is trying to fit your finger beside a dildo in her >Ling doesn’t seem to find it as funny, considering she slaps you for laughing while you squeeze her rump and slide her out of the sink “Well, we should be good to go by tonight, if you want to camp out tonight” >“Hmm, I suppose that would be fun” “Then get some bed sheets for me and you, I’ll get my cloths and the food from the fridge. We also need to buy more propane. Since you wasted it all” >Ling huffs and makes her way back inside the house >You just grin at her >Yeah, everything’s going to work out. You can feel it. >You are a cute bug >N..not cute >Nope not cute at all >Anon has mostly gotten everything together already, as have you, you just haven’t brought it all out yet >When you go outside, you find Anon has gathered way more than expected >He got what few camping supplies he actually owns together and is packing them all away in one of the storage compartments >Important things like a lighter, and stuff >He also has turned on the propane fridge >Its obvious he needs this propane badly, when he opens the gauge its red >Now you feel bad >You lay the bed sheets on their respective beds >You feel like your side isn’t very homey >Hmm that’s a familiar feeling, maybe some of your home decorating would fit well here >But for now “Need any more help Anon?” >“No, I think we got everything. I put enough food in the fridge for an over night trip. We just need to hook up to the truck now” “Oh, okay, what do I need to do?” >“well, direct me so the ball on the back of my truck is lined up as close as possible to the hitch” >The two of you walk outside and Anon shows you exactly what he’s talking about >“In fact if you can get the ball under it, even better. Then just start turning this lever here till the pipe here is about half an inch off the ground” >You nod, easy enough >While Anon back sup the truck, you direct him >Being that there is a huge chunk of metal slowly backing at you, you are careful about this >When the hitch is in place, you help Anon hook up the trailer, then fly over to the passenger seat >Anon attaches some kind of bars and chains, then closes the Rv up >He goes to get in, but first goes to the mailbox >You see him stop, which confuses you >He grabs something and brings it over to you >“its addressed to you?” “Huh?” >You take the small box and read it >it has yoru name on it but the rest of it you have no idea >Theres an RX on it though, you know what that means “Oh its my medicine!” >“Huh? Medicine?” “Yep! Oh, right, you weren’t here. Uh that nurse guy came back, said I have some kind of infection or something?” >“Oh..” “Uh, by the way, did you touch your hand to your eyes or mouth after you helped me?” >“nope” “Good, he said it’s a bladder infection, er, something, I can’t remember, but he said if I take these I’ll be fine.” >“I wish you would have told me that” “Oh I’m sure its fine!” >You smile up at Anon >He gives you a look then starts the car >“alright lets get going!” >You grin and nod happily, strapping yourself in >These human seat belts annoy you, they rub your neck, but you’d rather be safe >Anon goes to back up >SCREEEEEEEEEEECH >“FUCK!” “FUCK!” >>“SHIT!” >You hop out, since you’re faster than Anon and look at the damage >A low hanging branch has scrapped the top of the trailer >Flying to the top shows, luckily due to the metal roof, nothing is damaged >You roll your eyes and sit on the roof of the RV >But first you take the form of a Pegasus >Just in case >You become a green pegasus with cute blonde hair >While you help Anon back up, you also direct traffic >these green feathery wings make great traffic signals! >Some drivers seem annoyed, but you ignore it and direct while anon, after a few corrections, finally pulls out into the road >You fly down and take your spot beside him “next time, just ask for help” >Anon grumbles and looks away as he drives down the road >“so, when we pull up to the gas station, I’ll need you to run inside. Give the man the money, make sure he gives you the right change. Since he’ll probably think he can swindle you since you’re a pony, and tell him your human is outside. And buy some candy” >You nod obediently, as this is a great plan and Anon hands you the money >Unlike bits, the numbers are marked on the papers, so that makes things a lot easier for you >You count out the money, then nod “I saw two tanks on it, does that mean I should get two?” >“Naw, we only need one for the weekend, if worse comes to worse, then yeah, we’ll get a second” >You count out the money again and tuck it under your wing >You shiver as it tickles a bit >Arriving at the gas station isn’t exactly exciting >However seeing a lone pony walking into a store and gathering candy makes the clerk behind the counter stand up >He watches you closely, and starts following you >It makes you rather uncomfortable >After browsing the candy you go to grab a few bars >You feel a hand on the scruff of you neck and scream out >Some other customers look, but do nothing as he starts dragging you >You squeal and flails your hooves around “AHH HELP LET GO HELP!” >The unseen assailant brings you towards the front of the store >Why is no one helping you! >Some people are even pointing! >There is a loud gasp and the sound of skin smacking skin >then angry Arabic noises >“Hands off my pony shitskin!” >Oh thank the queen its anon! >The cashier grunts and grabs his head >He yells at you and Anon “Your pony was going to steal from me!” >His accent is very thick, middle eastern >Anon kicks his leg pretty hard >“No she wasn’t you don’t know anything about her!” >You stand there in a daze, very confused >The two go back and forth >He grunts and grabs the money from you >Lets take our money elsewhere. Away from this racist” >The man blinks, seeing the small wad of bills appear from under your wing >You notice Anon flash the money >He quickly puts his hands up >“Ahh, ahh I am sorry friend, here! Let me help you” >lolwat >Anon grins at you and pushes you outside while he handles the dealings from here >He picks up some candy and heads outside with the man >After exchanging the tank he hooks it up in place of the other one >When the two of you are in the car together, he turns to you >“What the hell what that?” “W..what? What did I do?” >“I told you to tell them your master is outside damn it” >You look up at him, your heart sinks, hard “I didn’t do anything though!” >“Ling not everyone is as nice as me, people like, him, see you as a threat. He wants your kind for..other things. He isn’t above fucking goats. What was going to stop him from slitting your throat for stealing if he doesn’t know I’m outside” >You go to speak up then silence yourself >Anon grabs the wheel tight as he starts going down the highway >“Next time, make damn well sure you tell people you’re a slave” >You whine softly and sink into the seat “I’m sorry” >You whisper quietly >Right now is not the time for your rebellious act >Your best friend is mad at you >You look at Anon in silence as he drives >He looks like he wants to say something but is holding back >You sigh as you watch him, looking back to the outside “I’m sorry” >Anon looks at you >You don’t look at him, staring as the trees pass by >“So am I” >You turn back to him >“Ling, just, do what I say, I’m sorry I yelled” >You slowly smile and lean over >Anon wraps one arm around you as hug him >You lay like this, pressed into his chest as he drives, watching the view from the window >Trees >So many trees >Theres the side of a mountain as well, but its basically just rock >“Now entering Townsend” >You sit up and look outside >Oh neat tubing! “Whats this place?” >Anon chuckles >“it’s a small town, only 500 people live here actually. Maryville was the gateway to the mountains, this is the main entrance though. Bit touristy” >You look around outside >A few OOOOLD abandoned buildings >Another tubing office >You would like that but you can tell its probably expensive >Theres an old church >Beside it, it says ‘Tuckaleechee Caverns’ “ANON!” >Anon gasps and the truck swerves some >he grabs the wheel tight >The sighn passes you by “Aw..” >“WHAT LING HOLY SHIT WHAT?!” >Anon is panting “Caverns” >“Huh?” “Caverns” >You poke your head out the window >He starts laughing and pulls over >“Really?” “Yeah..” >“You wanna go” >You nod your head quickly and flash him a grin >“..Ya know what, I think that would be fun, okay” >Anon pulls into a gravel driveway >You think it’s a house, but it might be a store, it looks like a two story house but has a biiig gravel parking lot >It takes him a while to turn around with the trailer, but he gets it, and starts heading up the hill the church is on >Wew! Caverns! >Up the road the two of you go >Anon needs to concentrate, the road is a bit windy and uphill, with a trailer, its not easy >You watch out the window all too eager to see what human caverns are like >Along the way you see some older signs for the same caverns >Hmm, this place seems historic >As you drive down you see a sign for..David Crockett Stables >That’s.. off putting being that its next to a graveyard >And you’re a changeling/pony “Human stables..” >“yeah, for horses.. I think they’re still for horses. The owners care for their horses though” >You sigh “Probably better than ponies” >You keep going >and going >Geeze this road never ends! >“this road never ends” >You giggle “Yeah..” >“Open the window, we’re in the mountains now. It smells amazing” >You happily do so >And are hit with that soft, smooth, yet slightly nippy air of the mountains >Its not that late in the afternoon so everyones at work right now making everything oh so peaceful out here >After one turn around later >The two of you arrive >The initial entrance is.. boring to say the least >Just an old building with a sign >Anon parks with relative ease >It doesn’t even cost that much for you both to enter, especially when Anon claims you’re a service pony >Anon is a good liar >Something about his back and you’re there to help him with bending over >You swear theres a joke in there >The two of you go down what is basically a long yellow pipe into the underground >So far you’re not impressed >The entrance is, pretty, but not Equestria pretty >ON THE OTHER HAND >You gasp loudly, seeing the rocky formations as you enter the actual cave, over the bridge >Everyone is gripping the bridge tight, even Anon, but you are flying, staying low at the instructions of the tour guide staring at the beauty “Oh Anon its amazing” >Anon grips his mouth >“Yeah..sure” >He gags >You look down >Darkness >You don’t know how far down, but far >You keep walking with Anon, he seems like he’s going to puke, but you’re at home >you want to live here >Saddly you have to stop flying as you come across a flattened section >Barely 6 feet between the floor and the ground, then a huge expanse of darkness around you, its not deep, theres no holes, but theres also no room to fly >You let out a chitter >It echos and you shiver >So homey.. >The area opens up, but you can’t fly, not with the large wings of a Pegasus >Sad, but you have to deal with it >You peek over the edge of the caverns with no railing >And it goes down >And down >Oh gosh.. >When you look up you see a bat! >Its so cute! >You lean up and the tiny bat looks at you >The tour guide turns around after explaining something about stalactites >Or was it stalagmites >Whatever >He grunts angrily “No touching the wild life” >You look up, bat on your head “Huh? Wild?” >Anon looks at you dumbfounded >You smile, the bat chitters >The person goes to say something but just shakes his head “Damn ponies” and goes on >You are in heaven, Anon lets you do your thing >You walk with the bat now attached ot yoru head >Its scree seems friendly not harmful >That’s good >The bat shifts and stays still >A few children gather around you but you quickly shh them “Don’t, you’ll scare him.” >The oldest of the children is quiet but watches you >You look around at the scenery >On the far side, out of the reach of humans, and out of your reach since you cant exactly shift right here, is a small natural platform with lights on it >neat, rock formations! Stalagmites jetting from the ground like spears on the little platform, the cold brown stone making an amazing backdrop >For your at least >Heh..one looks like a stallions dick >heh >Funny >When you keep going you see a hole >Like, theres the path and then right beside it a wall of stalactites and a fucking hole that drops into god knows where >You swear you see some eyes looking at you from the darkness of the void >The guide looks at you and grins some “And this is what we’ve taken to calling the hole. It drops for about 50 feet, then theres a turn inside and it drops for an unknown distance. We think around 50-100 more feet” >….neat..Chrysalis would love that hole to herself >>“Yes I would its beautiful” >He points out a pillar where the two rock formations meet “We suspect that this pillar of stone holds up the roof above us. Though that’s something I’d rather not test” >hue >Next you come across some ball like formations on the ceiling >“And these are the cavern balls” >He just leaves it at that and goes >Upon closer inspection, which a number of people do, you see why >Which makes you start giggling loudly >Several of the rocks have drooped into a ball sack like formation >One looks like a human dick >Ha nature >He leads you on, showing you what looks like a stairway, but smaller, forming pillars >There are a number of them with algae growth all near eachother >Absolutely beautiful >The bat on your head squeeks and gets closer to your scalp as you go along with him >You hear dripping in the distance >Faint, but its there >You hope the water can be drunk, by now you’re thristy >“We’re nearing the end of our tour now. To your right you’ll see some pool. You see they are a natural red color. Some old miners would call these pools of water gates to hell. But its just iron under the water“ >Along with the slight natural red are obvious lights making the red even more red and slightly glowy >It would have looked so much better without them.. >There is a stream! >The guide looks back “And here we near the stream. When we get to the sand bar you can drink from it. Here I wouldn’t recommend it due to run off from the rocks, and maybe bat dung” >Ew.. >The rocks are colorful, and smooth >As if this was all under water at one point.. >Luckily the sand bar shows up soon enough >You dip your head down and take a long swig before the tour guide says anything >Drink drink drink >The water is crystal clear and oh so cold >Wonderful really, it tastes better than any water you’ve had in the human world >“And uh, don’t drink from the spot the pony is in. many people have fallen in there” >You spit out whats In your mouth and move over next to a kid >Anon laughs and fills his own water bottle as well as a second for you >“Alright, if you’ll follow me” >You and the group get back in formation, following >When you arrive its wonderful From the surface drips a huge waterfall >Well, huge for underwater, bigger than the hives >The water drips downward onto a large dome shaped rock, the water then flows down the dome, past some algae and moss, and into the stream you just drunk from >“You’re standing directly below a stream, the creek empties out into this hole, and then the water drips over this rock, which acts as a filter, to make the water more than drinkable” >Wat, water can’t be more than drinkable >You rolls your eyes and walk as close as the path allows you to the rock looking it over >Its rather pretty with the light shining off it >The bat lets out a screech and flies off, going up the hole >Well, shit >When your little bat leaves your head the tour guide seems to visibly relax >You, Anon, and the group all start backtracking >Its relatively silent and makes for a good picture opportunity >The flashing lights of people taking pictures bothers you though >After all, in the hive all you had was a soft green glow >Much more peaceful than these damn tourists >When you make it back to the surface Anon stops and looks through the gift section >You don’t really bother, not worried about it, until that is he sits some kind of backpack on you making you gasp in surprise >He fits it to you, since its slender it works around your wings and when all is done you feel like you look silly >But Anon seems content >He holds you backwards to a mirror >You crane your neck to see, only to find it’s a camelbak with the caves logo and name on it >“How do you like it?” “It seems cumbersome..” >“Well, it’s a backpack that holds water, so if you want it tell me” >The idea intrigues you, its so light weight >You decide to nod and smile >Anon brings you to the front and pays >You guess a dollar is the same value as a bit, but you have no idea >If that’s the case this thing is way over priced at $35 dollars >You load back up into the truck and get going >With a parking lot to work with now, Anon can actually just drive in a circle to get out >“Next stop from here would be the state park, unless you want to stop by the swimming hole” “Swimming hole?” >“yeah theres a place up near the entrance that is pretty decent swimming” “No, I don’t think so, at least, not today” >“Alright, then we’re almost there” >Anon turns, there is an open gate, there are a list of rules along the road, including not to pick plants or steal rocks >Well, fuck there goes your plan “Anon that said Cades Cove, is that where we’re going?” >“yep it is. Up near that way is a camping spot. Its kind of touristy, but better than going out into the middle of nowhere our first day out” >Understandable “Wait about my disguise” >“I’d recommend keeping it up. I mean, I don’t care about showing you’re a changeling as long as they don’t find out what kind, but I don’t know how safe that would be” >While you drive down the road towards this cove you contact Chrysalis to see what she thinks >While you drive along the long winding road, you think to Chrysalis >>“Yes dear?” “Anon says I can drop my disguise” >>“And?” “We’re going to a campsite. What do you think?” >>“I suppose you could, but many would see you” “That’s what I’m afraid of” >>“However due to the position ones like yourself are in, Drones, at least, the lower ones than yourself, seem to be in low demand. They’re rare, but non dangerous, to the humans, so you wouldn’t be seen as a threat” “Except I’m scary” >>‘yes, that would be the only issue. And any upset ponies” “Anon seems to think he can handle them” >>“I say use this as a test, see how people react to you. If they get scared. Put up a disguise” >You sigh as you lean against the open window, thinking about the proposition >it would be nice to feel the air against your chitin not fur.. >Fuckin trees >trees everywhere “Okay, I’ll do it” >>“I think this could be fun” >“I’m glad you decided” >Anon chuckles and pats your back >You smile as you let your disguise down >In a flash of soft green magical fire you become your normal ole changeling self again >The wind feels good against your carapace >When you look up again, you see a sign >Campground, picnic area, and loop “Whats this, loop thing?” >“Ah, that’s todays other stop. How well can you fly” “Good, I suppose. Not so fast, good with distance” >“Great, because we have a couple miles of road to fly. Well I’ll be biking” “HUH?!” >“trust me, you’ll love it. “ >You sigh and shake your head >Anon takes a left and pulls into whats called the camping area >The closer you get, the thinner the road gets >Anon is visibly nervous as he goes along >You pass by a number of ponies and humans setting up camp >The pones seem happy to be in the woods, not so happy to be with humans >Understandable emotions >By you can feel yourself gaining energy off these humans enjoying their surroundings >Aww yeah >“technically I should have reserved, but its still Early in the season, so they probably have plenty of spaces” >You sigh and roll your eyes at his carelessness >Although it is find of fun >Anon pulls up to the side of a large building >Some kind of large triangular building hovers over the area >Yet oddly, its fitting and nice there >Maybe because of its natural pillars holding it up >When Anon gets back into the truck he hangs some kind of sign up on the mirror >“That was easy, not even a line. So I got us 3 days in the far back. “ >He pulls all the way to the far end of the park and pulls into a random spot >Its between two trees and no way out from the back >You have to hop out and direct him >Luckily this time no trees scrape the trailer >You look around and find a log to sit on next to a firepit, and a charcoal grill beside that >That’s it >Nice and simple how you like it >You land beside the truck and look at Anon “So what now?” >“Well, lets get set up. Then we can go down the loop” “Whats the look exactly?” >“You’ll see” >He grins at you as he lets the trailer off the car, lowering the foot and putting the stoppers under the wheels >You walk around the RV and truck inspecting it to make sure everything’s still fine >Luckily after the drive, everythings holding up amazingly >Anon walks inside to make the beds, you do the same >He didn’t install any Tvs or anything, he didn’t even bring his laptop, so there isn’t much to do while you wait other than start snacking >On food, not him >For now >Thank goodness you bought candy from jihad john! >The two of you are getting ready to go out >Anon has strapped the camelbak to you and let you decide on a form >You originally wanted to run, however after talking with Anon about the dangers of cars passing by, you decided on flying >Not that it matters all that much, if you get tired you can just tell Anon to slow down >Well that was the original plan “What, is THAT” >Anon chuckles as he pulls a bike down from the back of the truck >“Something I snuck in while you weren’t looking” >You stare at the monstrosity before you confused “For what purpose” >“Well most people take normal bikes out, they usually have to get off the bike to do any picture taking or scene watching. But with this. I don’t even have to get up” >You look it over as Anon bolts the seat into place and then the wheels >How did you not notice this the whole ride >The best you can describe it is a bicycle with two wheels on the front, one on back, and a bucket seat. >Looks kinda comfy “Wheres the handle bars?” >He points to two levers “Oh..” >You think you might even be able to ride something like that >Could be fun >Still gay looking even by your pastel colored pony view “Whats it called?” >“A recumbent bike” “heh?” >“a three wheel bike you can cruise in” “huh..why is it pink?” >“It was my moms” “Oh” >“No biggy, I’m just too lazy to pain it” >You notice the wheels have some rust on them >Its not old though, it must have just been sitting for a while “How much would something like that cost?” >“I think she bought this one for $900?” “SWEET CELESTIA” >Anon chuckles >“Well, my parents did buy my house to” “How loaded are you exactly?” >Anon grabs your mouth >“Shut it. We’re in the mountains and I plan to return home tonight” >You wince but nod “Okay, okay, sorry” >“Look, most of the money got taken by the government for taxes and shit. But I got enough o have a decent savings, that’s all you need to know” >He’s whispering urgently >If he’s so loaded, why the hell would he live in that shit house.. >humans >You notice one other thing >It had a basket, but you aren’t sure if you could fit in it >You’d rather sit on Anons lap if you get tired anyway >N..not that its something you’d like to do or anything, but his lap is comfortable “How far is it anyway?” >“well, from here to where I want to go, then around the rest of the way. Around 10-12 miles. Theres a few stops, and we’ll be stopping to have lunch at the half way point. “ “Sounds comfy” >“It is. I don’t bike this much, and I’ll need a lot of rest “pfft, weakling” >“Sure, you try it in one go” >You fly over and bop him on the head >Anon swats you away like a fly >He gets on his bike and starts peddling >Luckily he’s slow now so you just walk beside him >The basket on the back is full of whatever it is he packed for lunch >The two of you exit the camp and are soon on the road, obviously you’re nervous, but in the mountains, everyone seems to be going slow >“Scenery” “huh?” >“Everyones slowing to look at the trees. Most of these are people who will never see a deer until they come here. They are shocked now. Wait till they get into the actual loop” >You nod “Its pretty” >“Just wait” >It doesn’t take long for you to see what Anon means >You break past the tree layers and see an open field, on the distance, beautiful blue mountains. An old barbwire fence separating the field from the people,, on one side of the road is all trees, on the other is this field, which is perfectly green >It smells >Of human horses >You of course have never seen an Earth horse before, but the smell is distinct and you know it without ever having seen it >You fly beside Anon as he peddles >A few moments later you see a horse, sticking its head over the fence >You fly over and examine it “Hello there! You must be one of these Earth ponies, my names Ling, whats yours” >The horse neighs and sneezes on you >You scoff and move back, wiping your face “Rude!” >Anon is laughing his ass off and gets off his bike, walking over to you >You look to him “This pony is rude. He sneezed right on me” >“Ah, they don’t talk here” >he reaches out and pets it >The large horse goes to bite, but he quickly holds up an apple >It sniffs and takes the whole apple, walking away “Wow..” >Anon looks at you >“They’re riding horses, humans ride them around these parts” “That seems..barbaric” >“they’re well kept here” >You watch, staring and seeing the horses frolic in the fields >So much more well kept than your species or those ponies >It shouldn’t surprise you this much >Before you can dwell on it however Anon is already riding >You quickly catch up with him, looking around >That stallion has a nice ass >However you ignore it and continue on >For a while its just field to one side, woods on the other >You have a sneaking suspicion something’s watching you, but you chalk it up to paranoia >Soon enough the forest breaks and you have open fields on both sides, mountains all around >It shouldn’t surprise you when anon speaks up “Look to the right” >You do so, nothing different, just trees and a small hill >the hill looks like it shouldn’t be there though “What is that?” >You point with a hoof >“That, ling, is an Indian mound” “huh?” >“This used to all belong to this lands natives. That mound right there is some kind of ceremony site. Or a burial mound” >You stare at him >he shrugs >“My dad told me that, no idea how true it is. But still people don’t go up to it” >Your tempted to do so, but if a windigo exists, a ghost probably does to. You have enough to deal with having anon around, a ghost human might be a bit much >You continue the flight, not too bothered yet, but its certainly a distance. Around you is hard to explain, a small creek running under the road, the trees softly blowing in the wind >After seeing what the humans can do, you now get to see what their planet can do >And its breath taking >Around a corner you see a deer, walking through the thick brush >Like the horses, it would seem, it doesn’t respond to your call of hello >Annoyed, you pout while flying >Anon, on the other hand, snaps a picture from his phone >“I love this place” “I GUESS but they’re all so rude’ >he rolls his eyes at you >Bastard >After rounding the corner you are once again surrounded by trees >The break from the wind adds an eerie silence to this place >Other than the soft occasional squeak from Anons bike, you would think you are alone in this place >Yet you get an off feeling about it, still like there are eyes right behind you >When you turn around, theres nothing, not emotions, no animals >Freaky >After another mile you come across a sign >Scenic loop 9 miles to exit >Sparks Lane 2 miles to exit >Anon looks at you >“Well?” “Uh, what? I get to choose?” >“Yeah why not.” “Scenic” >“Think you can handle it?” >you scoff and puff out your chest >if only you had fur while in your normal form for maximum puff “OF COURSE!” >“Alright, lets go!” >Instead of taking off at speed like you expected, he is just slow and casual >You come across a trail on your right >Theres a vehicle pull off and a lone car there >The trail says “John Oliver place” “Hey Anon, whats that way?” >“Oh, just a cabin, we won’t be heading that way” “Oh okay, are there more?” >“You’ll see” >Ugh, damn it >Oh well, onward you go >“Normally I’d stop and we could go up there, but normally I’m also in a car so I’m not sweating by now” >Actually now that you look at him, Anon is sweating a lot >You must be a few miles in >Must be the most exercise he’s had for a while >You know it is yours, your wings burn a bit >gotta hold out till lunch “So whats up with this place?” >You ask while ignoring your wings >Anon slows his peddling >“Well, Cades Cove used to be a place where some of Tennessees first settlers came down to live. Its just a preserved history of their story” “I see..Its so beautiful” >“That’s what happens when people take over things they want to keep” “Huh..and the people?” >“Well, they lived here for a long time, but the government started having them move. I think the last people moved out back in 1999. He died living here. I think he was 85 or 86” >You watch him and slowly sit in his lap >Anon doesn’t disagree and lets you ride as he shares the story >“You see, this place was huge, had almost 1000 people living in it at one time! But our government came in and started buying the places out. It was mostly old people by then, and over the years people bought it out. People SAID it was beautiful. But I wasn’t alive to judge that. By the 90s only a few people left. The government, and their families, came in trying to offer them money. But they held out. Guns in hand” >You shiver at the thought, but then think. They used the guns to keep their homes, not kill innocent people >Equestria, if you had guns, probably would have done the same. >“The old guy died here. But saddly. Not long after his death, they came in and tore his house down” >That just sad >“It was build in the 50’s so it didn’t fit in. they said they wanted to use it to rebuild a different, older building” “That’s bullshit! How could they!” >“Exactly, how can they preserve the first houses but not the last? All the places were beautiful and its not right” >The two of you go back to silence, the afternoon air warming as the hour ticks by >You’re starting to feel a bit hungry >Anon reaches over you and tugs the strap on your back >He leans down and drinks from the pack on your back >That explains why he wanted you to carry it >Damn him >Soon enough the two of you come upon a hill >Anon ushers you off and you go back to flying >he seems to be uncomfortable as he grips the steering levers and goes uphill >You realize he’s just having trouble and giggle at his struggling while you effortlessly fly beside him >Fuck yeah more trees! >You pass a few signs but ignore them >Anon seems to have no interest on leaving the main route >Understandable, you can see plenty from here >To your right you see an open field with a single bush and dieing tree in the middle >You turn to Anon and go to ask him a question >he pulls over and looks at you >“Hm?” “What is THAT doing there?” >“Ya know, thats a good question. I have no idea. Theres always been that dead tree there. They don’t bother to chop it down because its part of the ecosystem. But I mean, it really has no purpose” >Hm.. “It just seems.. Off” >“Be with the old settlers around here, and the Indians, I wouldn’t doubt theres a death body under it” >Annnnnnd that’s a nope >You quiet and continue on >“We’re almost at one of the stops I wanted to make” “Oh good!” >Not two minutes later to see a parking spot >Anon continues till he gets to the gravel though, away from the cars, and pulls over >You see a church! >It looks a little like the only ponyville school house! >‘And this, Ling, is our first stop. The Cades Cove Methodist church” “Its so simplistic. I like it!” >“I knew you would” >He smiles as he leads you inside >This time you walk in >Inside is some rows of dusty old pews and a podeum inside >The feeling you had comes back and you shiver, looking around >The writing on the walls gets you a bit mad, but you can ignore it, Anon is also frustrated, you can taste, by the writing, he goes over to the podium and steps up to it >you sit on a pew as if your listening to a sermon “Hehe, you gonna teach me something/” >“Naw, I just need to do something important” >You notice a book >Anon writes in it and smiles >You feel something like.. nostalgia but also a love coming off him >A bit of sadness >It doesn’t take long to realize this place holds meaning to him >You won’t say a thing >He walks out and stops beside the cemetery >“The graves here date back to the 1800s” “wow, that’s old” >“Very, usually they don’t let people in here, and the government workers take care of them, but” >Anon hops the fence! >Oh shit nigga! >“Theres one grave they forget” >He continues to the back and you blink confused >In the very far back corner near the tree line are the oldest graves >Some of them are childrens graves >You’re getting a spooky feeling about this >Anon wipes some dirt from the stone and pulls the long grass away from it >You feel people staring >But you don’t say a thing >Even they have enough respect not to question it >he wipes his hands and gets up “If you need to relax. Do it now” >You nod and go back inside, you’re tempted to see what Anon wrote, but for now you sit on the pew and fold your wings down >Anon stands outside, keeping an eye on the bike, and you >You sit for a few minutes before Anon suddenly grabs you up from your rest >His eyes are wide and clearly paniced >“DON’T QUESTION IT JUST HURRY” >You blink and stand up, Anon grabs you by your collar, slowly leading you to the bike >You look around confused >And then you see It >Standing on the path you where just on is a big angry looking bear >Or maybe its just hungry >Either way, its about half the distance of a football field away and Anon has a bike full of food >He opens his bag and rummages around >You can tell the bear is getting closer, smelling the air >As it approaches >You get more freaked out >You grab Anon and look around >An SUV is coming towards you but is slow >SHIT >Anon holds up something >HAM FUCKING SANDWHICH >You look to him >“Ling I need you to do something for me so we can get this bear away” “W..what?” >“Take this sandwich, fly over the bear, like, 12 feet up, and see if you cant lead it away” “Anon that’s insane” >Its lumbering towards the both of you “yeah well theres kids around here and I’m terrified its going to eat me now if you don’t mind!” >You nod nervously and take the wrapped sandwich, you tear the plastic and drop it as you fly up >Your heart is pounding >Chrysalis isn’t talking to you >The bear watches as you fly over head, Anon is grabbing his bike hard, knuckles white >You fly over head and the bear stands up >LOLNOPE FUCK THIS NOPE NOPE NOPE >Thankfully you’re out of range >Anon runs over to the SUV as it pulls up >You stop focusing on him and focus on the bear, dropping a few bits of ham down on it, leading it like a dog away from the site >When you’re down to half the sandwich you can’t hear Anons talking anymore >The bear is watching you and jumping at you. You take the sandwich and wave it around catching its vision, then you throw it at it and fly off straight up >The bear starts eating the sandwich and you hurry back to Anon, making sure it isn’t following >It takes a moment, but you arrive to see the SUV has the bike poorly strapped to the top >Anon is looking around ofr you >You fly into him full speed grabbing him in a tight hug “Lets never do that again” >“Agreed. These people are calling the park ranger now. Hopefully they’ll spray some bleach down or something to keep the bear away” >You not and hold onto him as he loads into the back, the tail gate is open and a teen is sitting with a rope as a seat belt >“This is Brandon.” >The boy nods and waves, on the phone, explaining a bear sighting a bit too close to an attraction >The two people up front, older it would seem, are all smiles, wishing to have seen the bear >You on the other hand, never want to see another one as long as you’re here >And you thought he Equestrian bears were spooky >The phone call conveniently leaves out the part about you feeding the bear to keep it away, actually they just say they saw a bear in the graveyard and left it at that >Because, fines >You talk with Brandon when he hangs up the phone >They’re locals from not far away, just on a day trip >he’s 17 and just enjoying the sights >The people with him are his grandparents >Actually about as average as one can get >Anon has them drive you to what he called the museum >When you hop out of the car, and Anon gets his bike, returning the bungee cords, he wheels it up to a small wooden cabin at the top of a hill >theres bathrooms, an a mill of some kind >it’s a nice place, and with such little traffic, is nice >Frustratingly enough, however, the door to the inside of the water mill is locked >And you really wanted to see how they work for humans >Oh well >You still go into the newer looking how with Anon >“I think this house was built in the late 1800s” >There’s a bit of graffiti on the side and a blocked off stairwell >The gate his high enough where only some teenagers would jump it >Anon motions you and gives you his pocket knife >You look at him confused >He whispers >“Go on, I did it when I was younger” >You blink but go up >After a moment you see Anons name upstairs on the wall, carved with a knife >You walk over and start to very carefully do the same, next to it >LING WUZ HER >Good enough >With a grin you go and carves a heart around her name and Anons >Proudly you make your way back down stairs >Anon is waiting looking at the fireplace >Seeing you he takes the knife and leads you outside >You see a pony entering the gift shop >You aren’t too worried but you stay close to Anon >The two of you enter >While you look around you hear a gasp, followed by a smack, and the sound of struggling >looking back you see the pony trying to make her way out the door >The human holding her leash seems annoyed >You sigh and shake your head, picking up a few things, locally made corn meal, and a book >The pony struggles for another moment before being yanked back >Upon seeing you not doing anything, it gets a suspicious look >Then its owner drags it outside >You sigh in relief and Anon takes the stuff form your hooves “I’m really sick of these ponies” >“what can you do” >You sigh “I know..It makes me wonder, whos the real beast” >Anon rubs your head and you laugh >“I don’t think you’re a beast” >You smile up at him >He pays for the food and refills the pack on your back >You go outside and see something interesting >A group of kids and adults circle around the area >Sitting at the bottom of the steps is snake >someone pokes it with a stick >You gasp and walk closer “Stop don’t touch!” >The kids look at you annoyed >Then shocked seeing you >The others step back from you, the strange black thing with holes >Anon walks over “Ling’s right. This is a copper head” >A few people suddenly grab their kids and back up >Anon gets closer >Your eyes go wide as he reaches down >he stays still for a moment then snatches it! >The snake starts wiggling and hisses out struggling >It hisses and starts to smell bad >And then it shits on Anons had >He looks around at everyone >‘Don’t ever do this and I swear don’t get near them. This thing is extremely poisonous.” >You stare in aw, Anon carrying the snake towards the woods >You follow behind, keeping other humans from following by hissing at them and being generally spooky >When you are alone and near the water anon sighs and looks down at the snake in his grip >“Its okay Ling, you can calm down” “How can I calm down you’re gonna get bitten!” >“Its not a copper head” “….what” >“it’s a harmless water snake. The colors wrong and the head isn’t the right shape” “…you’re joking” >“Copper heads also don’t smell this bad” “How do you know?! It might just be a young one!” >“Because my dad had one as a pet. “ he drops the snake down into the water, the water has a slightly fast current so the snake starts swimming as its carried away “why did you lie?” >“Because some people are stupid and would have hurt this thing a lot more than me. I’ll guarantee you no one there called for the park ranger” >he points to a green truck >Theres clearly a person inside but not doing anything >You sigh and shake your head “Humans really are stupid” >“It can only go uphill from here” “Are you sure about that? I’ve seen some pretty stupid stuff from humans” >“Well, no, not really. I’ve taken to assuming everyones retarded and that this is my reality” “Dark” >“Dank” “wat” >“You’ll figure it out one day” >You rolls your eyes as you walk beside anon down the hill back towards the gift shop >Outside the group who watched the snake has gone other than some people stopping >You feel an urge >The kind of urge that feels >Like it’s a running joke >You tug Anons jeans “Wheres the bathroom?” >“Uh, that small building” >Anon points you to a building a little bit from the gift shop >You take flight and hurry down to it >Anon is walking his bike down to you, but is some distance away >When you react the building you see it is separated into boy and girls sections >Logical enough >You step around to go to the girls bathroom when you see an extra tacked on sign >Ponies >it’s a door that clearly used to be a closet >Are you shitting me >>“How crude” >You nod in agreement with your queen but approach the door >When you go to open it, its locked >FUCK >KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK FUCKING KNOCK >“HOLD ON” yells the pony inside >Female >Slightly comforting to know that, lessens the awkwardness >You wait a few minutes, stamping the ground as you wait >A moment later the pony opens the door >Her eyes go wide seeing you >She stares for a moment then holds the door open for you >You smile and nod to her “Thank you” >She nods her head quickly and closes the door while you go >“I uh.. You’re a changeling?” “Yeah” >“A real changeling?” “Yeah” >“I thought you where..ya know.. In equestria?” “No, a lot of us came to Earth” >“Wow..I havnt seen your kind since the whole thing at the wedding” >You sigh loudly “I wasn’t there” >“Oh..Sorry I just assumed..” “A lot of your kind do” >“Well..Uh My masters coming, I’ll talk to you later” >Her voice is noticeably more nervous >You’re silent for a moment, when you hear her hooves start to clop away you speak up “Thanks for not screaming” >“Why would I?” >You go silent >Well other than the noise of the splashing water >She stands there for a moment before walking away >You hear a human talking, not exactly friendly either, but you can’t make any sense of whats being said besides a soft yelp >You have a feeling she was just told off for taking too long though >Poor girl >As you sit you look around and think >The area around you, you realize, is a port potty shoved into an old broom closet >Well, at least they gave you the courtesy to give you the privacy >Stinks like hell though >They clearly put it in this closet to keep the ponies from having to deal with humans or kids knocking it over though. So that helps a lot >…You’ve been pissing for a while >Whatever that bug is that you got, the medication better help >You clean up the best you can with only the hoof sanitizer some charitable pony left behind and go back to meet up with Anon >When you return to Anon he is adjusting the chain on the bike >Why did he even bring the tool for that “So, when we heading back out?” >“After we eat something. I have to go to the vending machine since the bear took our food” “Oh yeah..” >You open the bag >Anon packed you a small salad and some of that coke stuff, himself he packed a coke and two of the ham sandwiches >Which of course he lacks one >While Anon goes over to buy something from the vending machine, you start eating yours >Sitting in this soft well kept grass is relaxing as can be >Anon returns, chips in hand, and sits beside you to eat >the two of you are positioned towards the long field to the side as you eat in relative silence >You eventually speak up when you’re done though “Ya know, a pony was nice to me” >“That sounds like good news Ling” “I guess it is, I’m just, confused by it is all” >“what did the pony say?” “I told her thanks for not screaming. She just replied why would I” >“Maybe she just doesn’t see you as a threat” “I have no idea.. Maybe we’ll see her again” >You both finish up and are back on the road soon enough >The path is rather bland for a while, just the same you’ve already seen >The view is breathtaking as always, just, you already saw it >You come on a fork in the road and look to Anon >“Theres a graveyard to the right, what do you think?” “Eh, we’ll skip over that” >Graveyard aren’t that appealing >Whats with it with these humans.. >The two of you go left and head down the pathway, following behind a white car >You SHOULD be on the shoulder, but theres no cars behind, so why not >All around you the trees block out the afternoon sun, causing the area to be slightly more humid while still warm >Anon is sweating a bit, but for you its perfect >>“Such a lovely world” Chrysalis pipes in >And you fully agree >The car pulls off to the side and you see some people in hiking gear get out >Part of you is thankful that anon doesn’t hike, this is more than enough for you as it is, your wings are going to ache tonight >You break free of the tree layer into a small area surrounded by fields >That doesn’t last very long however as you run into the woods again >The brief hot sun reminded you of how hot this place gets in the summer >A few miles later, you’d on Anons lap again >Thankfully he isn’t too annoyed by it as you sit and look around >You finally get nearer to the end, where the cut across road meets the main road. >To your right is another cabin >It looks like a newer construction, at least not as old as the others. It even has a barn! >The rooms inside are much bigger, and Anon walks beside you >He explains that this is called the Dan Lawson place >There is a tool shed >And in the barn be explains that this is where the horses used to live >And you nope right the fuck out of there >Its full of old farm equipment now, but you don’t even want to think about having to live in a stable like that >Better off homeless then stuck in that place >You go with Anon back to the bike and hop on >He lets you back into his lap and you both make your way down the road >You look to your left and are captivated by the sight of the open field, miles of openness accented by the mountains off in the distance >After a while of this, you see, on the left, another one of the double-cantilever barns as well as carriage house >Anon pats you and you turn around >On your right you see the house itself >it’s a nicer one than the others, and is a two story house >Anon pulls his bike behind the fence and points out the buildings on the property >Theres a smoke house, which he explains is where they smoke meats to make them more flavorful >Which sounds rather appealing. You CAN eat meat and sometimes its pretty good >Theres a woodshed but lol who cares >You step up and head inside >Its surprisingly lacking in graffiti and is very well kept inside >Anon smiles >“I actually do know a little about this place” “Oh? Go on then!” >He chuckles and starts to explain >“ Colonel Hamp Tipton, he was in a war in our country called the civil war, built this place in the late 1800s, he lived here with his daughters” >You nod listening >“Eventually a black smith moved in to, but he moved out when he got his own house built” “Neat” >“very” >The two of you want around the house, and upstairs >Its all very simple but every creak of the floor makes you shutter >This place throws you off as much as walking in that graveyard >It makes you feel weird and you don’t like it >Thankfully Anon is ready to go soon enough and you two are off to the next stop! >You pass by yet another old cabin in the woods, but don’t stop at this one either, Anon is getting visibly tied >Which you understand, this is a very long ride >He keeps going for the next few miles, occasionally drinking from the pack on your back or stopping to look around at the land >It takes a while, but you reach the final cross road >To the right is the crampground >You hop off Anons lap and fly the rest of the way, him peddling it >He walks you past the store however and walks you to the ranger station “Hey, what’re you doing?” >“We need to explain to the ranger what happened” “I thought that kid called?” >“yah, but its good to mention it again. I’ve never seen a bear that close to the road before” “Oh, okay” >Inside the station is a sleeping human and a pony who looks baked as hell >She even has dreads, which are tied back in a ponytail >“Whoa, likes, whats up” The green pony with orange hair says looking right past Anon at you >You blink and motion to yourself then look at Anon >He lets you go ahead >You stare at the pony in front of you >Shes smiling at you >Er through you >Its as if she thinks you’re a pony “yeah, I need to report a bear” >“Aww right on. Bears are cool.” she looks around and picks up a pen >“So like, what did it look like?” “A bear..” >“Right.. “It was up by the old church, I was told by Anon here that is wasn’t suppose to be” >She nods “yeah, we got a bear problem, being, ya know, in the mountains and all, sometimes they come down, think they can chill with us. It really ruins the vibes around here cause the humans totally don’t like them” >You stare at her feeling your brain slowly sizzling >This is a bit much >“I’ll get it checked out though, someones probably like, been feeling it or something. Right on for telling me though cause my boss is gonna be like super happy.” >She leans towards you >You stare in shock >She whispers “Between you and me I think his chakras are all kinda of wack” “O..Okay, well..please report it and get it looked at so no one gets hurt” >“Totally.” >You nod slowly and back out >Anon is already outside “That..was weird” >“Trippy even” >The two of you laugh and walk towards the store This isn't my full update but i felt it right to bump the thread with it >Back at camp, Anon is prepping the fire pit, while you gather firewood >There isn’t much to be found surprisingly though >Anon says they keep the place up >Apparently that means removing sticks from easily accessible areas >Silly humans >You walk around, going behind over campers, which you find there are 4 more of relatively close >The noise of clopping hooves signals you to at least one pony near by, much different than the noise of an Earth horse, as its much lighter however >You’re tempted to go introduce yourself, but Anon needs his wood >You, by now, have enough to start a small fire and go back to him >Park rules state you can’t technically start a fire here, but finding a used fire pit is enough for Anon to know where to set one up without issue >Theres also a small assortment of logs around it, meaning it may be a social spot >Lucky you for getting the spot closest to it then >When you return there is a woman talking to Anon and holding up lights >WOMAN >ANON >PANIC >You hurry over dropping the wood into the pile and stand at Anons side >The woman flinches seeing you, but Anon pats your head >“She’s okay, Shes just a different species of pony” >“You keep a slave?” She raises a brow >“No, not really, I try to be friends with her” >“I see” >She hands Anon the string of lights >You immediately puff out your chest and hold your breath looking up at her with your angry eyes >She watches you for a moment before smiling at your Anon and hurrying away >Anon shoots you an accusing glare and you maximize your chest before sighing out and going back to work >You see Anon hanging up the string of lights and.. >THAT BASTARD STRINGS THEM OVER TO THE FEMALES RV >HOW DARE HE >You try to focus on your work, ignoring Anon approaching that hussies Rv >You mad bro >However soon enough you’ve got the fire pit ready to go >You have dinner ready to make >Made the beds >And even gotten the outdoor furniture set up >Wait how did that third chair get there >fug >When Anon returns you glare at him >“What is it?” “Oh nothing” >You pout looking away >Anon rolls his eyes and leans down >Got everything done?” “Yeah I did” >“Thanks. Lets make dinner” “Okay..” >You follow behind, not angry at Anon >BUT IF THAT BITCH >>“Calm down Ling, she’s just a human” “He’s MY human” >>“Ling..” >You ignore Chrysalis and help Anon with Dinner >He packed several kinds of fresh vegetables, meat, and tortillas >You watch as he assembles the mix of various things, he makes as many of them as he can with what he has. 10 in total, wraps it in a tortillas, then wraps that burrito into the aluminum foil “Why so many though?” >“Well I was told they have group cookouts every night” “Really? That sounds fun” >“I didn’t really plan for it, but it seems like it could be fun, the others have stuff to trade to” “Awesome. Anything I should do?” >Anon thinks but shrugs >“Not sure yet, there isn’t much TO do” >You decide to go outside and wait, looking across into the woods >When the sun starts to set, you watch from your perch on the roof >Other campers have brought out grills, lights, and so forth >Many of them are older, but a few have kids >Ew kids >you notice the same nice pony walking around, helping her master grill >that makes you smile some to see someone nice >Her master seems to be treating her okay, but any time she messes something up, or refuses to help with cooking meat she gets a firm smack >usually to the cutie mark or back of the head >Over all however she isn’t that defiant and her master doesn’t seem overly abusive, so that’s nice >You look down at the growing small crowd and eventually decide to join in >Anon takes his wrapped burritos from the fire and adds them to a growing pile of food on the table >You keep close to Anons side, keeping an eye out for the human woman >Everyone is cooking or bringing out foods, but you don’t bother to socialize much >“Hey Ling” >Anon tosses you a can of beer >You yelp and catch it, tumbling it around in your hooves before you get a solid grip >When you open it you are sprayed in the face with the foam “AH FUCK!” >A few humans laugh as you are sprayed >The pony giggles >You sigh as you drink >Its bitter but not all that bad “Thanks” >you huff, but smile >Anon smiles back and picks up a paper plate >“Want anything?” “Uh, whatever you have a guess” >He looks at you oddly but you smile >“Alright then” >Instead of getting a second plate, Anon gets two of everything >Except his own burritos >When all is said and done he sits with you, holding two plates of food >Two cups of banana pudding >Two sodas >Two okay sized steaks >two things of chips >And a few other bits of food, all hand made >Looks freakin delicious >“You sure you want meat?” “Yeah, I like the taste” >“….okay then” >You sit with Anon eating around the campfire >Soon enough you are joined by multiple humans >A number of them >Basically all of them >Make an effort to stay back from you >Anon looks over and chuckles seeing them moving away some >“Don’t worry about it, she’s fine” >You look up and smile “Yeah harmless” >You flash them a grin, your fangs showing >Er lack there of be with the grinded down portion >A few humans grimace seeing your grin >Anon waves in front of your face >Several of the humans start asking questions, like what you are and all >“She’s from the same universe as the other ponies >A few humans look disgusted >“I bought her by accident, and she’s bee a surprising help. She’s called a changling” >The pony takes a seat with her master near by, but she has to eat out of a dog bowl >“I dunno anything about changelings, but she’s friendly.” >“Shes ugly” one human points out >You shoot the human a glare, but Anon pipes up >“I don’t think she’s ugly, sure, she has holes in her legs, and looks kinda, buggy, but I like insects anyway” >You watch the scene unfold as Anon talks with the humans >The female sits beside Anon >You scoot closer and press into him >You notice the pony look up from her dish and start giggling >But you don’t let that bother you >Anon looks down at you but ignores you getting close as he chats with the other humans >No one seems to pay you much mind so you take a second of Anons beers and start drinking >You hear a few comments talking about you >Mostly humans trying to explain how they feel about you >Anon seems to be getting a bit frustrated >You’re getting rather pissed >The pony manages to be freed from her leash and goes over to you, sitting on your left >“I don’t think you’re so bad” She says with a smile >You smile back “Thanks. Whats your name anyway” >“I’m Orange Swirl” >Now that you look at her, first you notice she’s a Pegasus >You really havn’t seen any Pegasus around, probably because of their flying ability being a pain in the ass “Nice to meet ya” >She smiles and looks over your plate, grimacing some >“I guess its true you guys eat meat than” “Eh, I guess, We can eat anything really. Remember we feed on love” >“Oh yeah..but, why meat?” “Well, I didn’t used to eat it back in Equestria, but here its so common, why not?” >“What about the others, like that queen?” “We don’t eat meat normally” >“Huh..” “What did you do before?” >“Oh..oh! You mean back home!” “yep. I was a soldier for the hive. After that whole thing in Canterlot” >“I Uh” >She shuffles her hooves looking down >“I was planning to join the wonder bolts. And I was in the weather team. I did tornados” “Woah, that’s really cool” >“Yeah…” She sighs looking down >You smile and softly pat her back, tasting the sadness makes you want to puke “Hey, hey, its okay. At least you’re outside, like this. I mean this place is beautiful” >“very..” >She tries to flap her wings, but it seems she can’t move them very well >Now that’s sad, a Pegasus without her wings is…nothing >“I just my master would just let me fly though” “I know what you mean. That’s hard to handle..” >She looks over at you, your wings are kept hidden downward for now to make it looks like yours down work either >You don’t want to make her feel even worse >‘heh you got buggy wings” >You look at her and chuckle softly “Oh yeah?” >“yeah they’re all clear and veiny!” >She reaches over touching one making you shiver >“So cool!” “Really, you’re serious?” >“Yeah! I mean, just look at them! Its so…unique” >You can tell shes being truthful and can’t help but smile >However you don’t get long to smile before you are suddenly engulfed in an actual hug making you hiss in surprise >The Pegasus smiles at you then releases you “I..uh..thanks” >She grins and chuckles some >You drink more of your beer and crush the empty can >The humans around you are watching someone curiously >The female is nearing Anon >You suddenly dig into his side making him jump in surprise >10/10 moment ruining skills >You ignore what she says but Anon looks disappointed when she walks away >A few minutes later the pony holds her hooves up with an offering >You curiously look at it in the flickering flame >Some kind of cracker creation “Whats this?” >“you don’t know?” She looks shocked “Nope, no idea” >Before you have a moment to react you have the thing shoved into your mouth >You squirm and wiggle in shock >Then start to chew >Another human leans in watching you >Cinnamon, chocolate, something burnt, but slightly mashrmellowy >ITS AMAZING >Your eyes light up “WHAT IS THIS AMAZING CREATION!” >A few of the humans jump at the sudden outburth >“it’s a smores, I can’t believe you never heard of it!” “I demand more!” >She giggles and motions to the young female human, who proceeds to make another and offer it to you >You go over and take it, eating it, slower this time “Amazing!” >Both laugh and smile at you >What feels like minutes pass as you chat and eat with the two new friends you’ve made >The human girl is told, however, that she must go to bed, and is brought to her tent >The pony’s master brings her away to their RV >Now alone with your master >And that female >You press against Anon as to distract him >Its working yes >It takes a while, but with enough of you brushing into Anon >And maximizing your chest puff abilities >You get the human to leave >She says shes sleepy, but you know otherwise >Her jealously >Its delicious >Anon is a bit on the drunk side >Admitably you are to >Anon stands up looking down at you >You smile and walks beside him, using each other to balance whenever one leans one way >You can hear the thoughts of your brothers and sisters, having trouble filtering, but you ignore it the best you can >The two of you make it into the RV, but Anon grabs you >“Ling, I have an idea” “Huh,wa?” >He grabs you and points to the truck >it’s a fairly warm night >He grabs his blanket and crawls into the back of the truck >You follow behind >The two of you lay on the blanket looking up >With the cleared area, theres no trees to obstruct your view >Soon enough the fire is put out by someone sober enough to walk and you two are left in the dark, looking up at the sky “Whoa” >“Yeaaaaah” >The two of you sit in the bed of the truck watching the sky “What do you think it will be like in a thousand years?” >“Huh?” >You turn to Anon “The legends of Ponies and how they came to Earth. What will happen to it?” >He lays there clearly thinking pretty hard >“I have no idea” “What if like, everyone forgets, where the ponies came from or something” >“Naw, there was a war and stuff” “What if people think the ponies where bad” >You gasp and grab Anon >Anon rolls his eyes as he pats you >“No way, ponies are too fluffy for that” “I guess..” >He rubs your head >You smile and lay into him staring at the sky >The air is so clean when you’re higher than the valley >Everythings alive and moving, humans may find it calm, you find it energetic while you yourself are tired >Anon yawns, and contagiously, you yawn as well >After the two of you chat together, regarding ponies on Earth >Always with Anon reassuring you everything is fine >You feel yourself drifting towards sleep >You stretch out and yawn loudly again >Anon reaches out and starts rubbing your belly >You gasp out in surprise and squirm some >It doesn’t take long for you to enjoy it “Why do you think all this is” >“Huh?” “Us, here, with humans” >“An accident” “but why” >“Just, accidents happen. Maybe not for the best” >The answer doesn’t sit well with you, but you can’t find the energy to argue as you drift off to sleep >When you awaken you find yourself shivering and pulled close to Anon >Anon has stolen the whole blanket for himself >THE BASTARD >You reach out and grab the blanket, stealing it from him in one easy yank >But it causes Anon to grunt and roll over, waking up >You look innocently up at him as you wrap the blanket around yourself >Anon sits up >“Huh? Oh good morning.” >He rubs his eyes and sighs >You huff as you wrap yourself in the glorious comfort of the blanket “yeah, good morning” >Your head hurts >The light hurts >You promised yourself you wouldn’t drink anymore >Oh well >Worth it >Anon seems to be having the same issue as he gets up and makes his way into the RV >You follow behind and sit at the little dining table while Anon works on making coffee with no electricity >You don’t really know exactly what it is he’s using >but its interesting to watch him fill it with coffee grinds and press down on the top >The water filters down by the pressure and fills the bottom >When it fills he pours it out into a cup and passes it to you >Then does it again for himself >Of course you put the sugar packets into it and start drinking >Cold >But tasty! “Why isn’t there any electricity? I thought you used propane” >“Well, there is, for the fridge, and all that, but its propane powered. I don’t have a generator, so, this is what we have” “whoa..” >You go over to the fridge >…its dripping >“propane causes a lot of condensation. I’ll need to fix that” “Huh, so, whats the plan for that?” >“Well, how did you feel about this trip?” >You drink from your coffee, sitting back and thinking “That’s a hard one” >Anon takes a seat across from you >“I know we’ve only been on one trip. I mean, we can come back here if we stay. But. Theres always a chance of going other places” >You lean forward “I’ve only lived with you like, a few months. “ >“And?” “Lets go on an adventure” >You see Anon lean back in his seat and nod >He smiles >“Lets go home and get to work” “AFTER we relax here some more” >When the coffee is through you get up “So whats the plan” >“I thought we just talked about that” “right now” >“Wanna go swimming” “yes” >You don’t even have to hesitate >Anon nods >“Lets head out” “right now?” >“Yeah. Why not?” >You nod and stand up >Anon grabs the slip of paper and goes to the front of the camp while you get to work attaching the truck to the trailer >You don’t have quite as much strength as Anon so you can’t move the trailer, however you can do external check >Leaves, and simple stuff knocked away >You check the weld job, finding its held up very well >When Anon returns, you help him put the hitch back on and hook the chains up >When you are both ready, your off “Anon, you’re serious, we’d be around this all the time?” >“Naw not all the time” >He reaches out and pats your hoof >You can’t help but smile at that >The drive back the way you came is much quicker feeling than the way in, and it doesn’t take long for you to get back to the road split next to the swimming hole >Of course you have to take up a few parking spaces, but all is well as it’s a bit slow >“I didn’t bring any swimsuit.” “Neither did I” >Anon glances at you before snickering and hopping out >You follow suit >He goes into the RV and quickly changes into shorts, leading you into the swimming hole you were shown before >Its well layed out, theres a cliff across the way, and the water seems to have swallow and deep points >For some reason it makes you feel nervous >Then you see a person jumping from the cliff and cringe as there is the hard smack of water against flesh “….what the hell” >Anon takes your hoof as you nervously step into the water >Its not that you NEED him or anything >But the human world is so weird, and here you are stepping into water >You can’t even see the bottom in some places of it >Anon, however, reassures you its safe >You look down into the water, and see as a minnow swims through your leg hole >Its so tiny and cute! >Maybe it isn’t so bad >wading up to your belly level you look around, shivering from the cold water >Anon jumps in, splashing you and making you hiss in shock, falling back into the water >The gentle current starts pulling you and you stumble around, grabbing at the rocky bottom >Anon swims over to you, wrapping an arm around you >“Hey, Ling, calm down, its safe. We don’t have killer animals here” >He’s a fucking liar >You look around at the water and stand up, your hooves digging into the rock underneath > The water flowing through your holes feels really weird and new to you >But, none the less, you follow Anons lead as he swims in the fairly shallow water >Well, you try >You just can’t get any traction to swim though >So you end up paddling against the current and being pulled backwards >Fuck >Anon swims up beside you laughing at your failing attempt to swim >You scrunch like you’ve never scrunch faced before >He wraps an arm around you and starts bringing you out to deeper water >NOPE NOPE “ANON!” >He grins at your struggling playfully pushing you forward into the deeper water >Its at his chest and over your head >You can clearly see the bottom but you’re still a bit nervous >He gently pushes you forward >the current carries you back into his arms >You flail your hooves around to little avail “Anon stoooop!” >Your voice cracks giving you a bit of a squeel >He just chuckles and catches you again when the current drags you back >“Its okay, this is a swimming hole, even if there was a big fish, it wouldn’t be here” >You cling to him none the less >Across the way at the cliff, you see a human scream and fall for nearly two seconds before hitting the water with a LOUD smack >You cringe in response and wait with anticipation for the human to get back up >Nothing for another moment >You see a head bob out of the water, then are hit with an excited yell “woohoo!” the human yells >From this distance its weak, but you taste his excitement and joy >You turn to Anon “DO you ever do that?” >“Hell no, I’m not insane, however you, I think you could!” >You eep in surprise as you are lifted and thrown! >You scream and extend your wings trying to hit the wind >But your wings are soaked >You go face first into the water >It stings at first, but followed by the chilling cold it suddenly gets comfortable >You kick your way to the surface and gasp for air >Anon is laughing a few feet away >You use your wing to splash at him >Anon goes to dive but is hit! >yes! >You paddle around with Anon chasing you, giggling loudly >You havnt had this much fun in a long time! >You can even hear a few laughs from Chrysalis, which only succeeds in increasing your own joy >You look down after a moment and go rigid >The water is so deep you cant see the bottom clearly >PANIC >Anon swims over to you as you kick your hooves wildly >You flail your wings, which start pushing you backwards >Anon come sup behind you, grabbing you >You kick more >He grunts swimming >“Ling, Ling calm down!” “Anon its too deep I can’t see the bottom!” >You’re crying for his help >But he has his arm securely around you, letting the current carefully pull the both of you down stream >You feel your hooves touch rock and immediately dig in >Anon hugs you around your waist, petting you >The petting is oh so calming >A moment later you look around >You’re in the shallow end, hidden from prying human eyes >Theres a little pool with cute minnows near you >A dam some kids must have built out of rocks making the minnows have a save spot in the slightly faster water >Its rather cute >You calm and sigh, laying back into the water “Oh thank goodness” >Anon pats your back >“WHy’d you freak out” >You look down “I dunno..” >He puts you on his lap, the water is a bit warmer here where its shallow >You look at the water flowing under you “I guess I’m just nervous about deeper water is all. Like, I feel like theres something in there” >“Why’s that?” “I dunno..probably cause of all the weird things we had in equestria” >A few moments of sitting like this and you start to feel the need to move around >So that’s exactly what you do >You make your way over to the little pool of minnows and tilt your head, showing your curiosity “This planets eco system is, similar, but different” >“Yeah, that’s what I was told in the news” >You examine closer and see a small lobster looking creature “Whats that?” >“Don’t tou-” >But it was too late >You had a crawdad clinging to your nose “AAAAAAAAAAAAA” >“AAAAAAAA” >>“AAAAAAAAAA!” “AAAAA SHIT! IT HURTS!” >“HOLD STILL!” “NO DON’T!” >You flails your hooves around while the crawfish clings onto you! >The one place without chitin! >EVIL BEAST! ------------ >“So that’s why I decided to move out” >Anon is sitting on his telephone while you manage the sale >A lot of people have tried to scam you, but Anon requested you keep your real form >Now you see why >People don’t fuck with spooky bug pony >You look over to see him explaining and chuckle >Last weekend was fun >“Yeah Ling got the shit pinched out of her nose” >You huff, remembering that ~~wooo flash back~~ “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA” >“LING STAND STILL” “ITS KILLING ME” >“ITS NOT KILLING YOU STAY STILL” “I’M GOING TO DIE I’M GOING TO SUFFACATE AND DIE” >Your voice is extremely nasally >Theres some people staring >This sucks >“JUST BREATH THROUGH YOUR MOUTH” “AAAAAAAAAA” >Anon grabs your face >You struggle away >He grabs your butt >You moan >Then struggle away >The beast is still clinging to your face >Its flaws are in your nose and you can’t breath >Well you would if you stopped screaming >Naw >Wait! >Anon grabs your ear “OW OW OW” >He grips the things tail >Then pulls >The thing lets out a clicking noise then releases you as it jumps going for the water >Plop >CRISIS HAS ENDED >RESTART LING UNIT 3946 >Y/N >>“Yes” >PLEASE WAIT >When you come back to your senses, your nose hurts “Ouch..is it off?” >“Yeah. You okay?” “Am I bleeding?” >You touch your nose >yep “….that was a thing” >“Ling you okay?” “Yeah I’m fine. What was that?” >“Its called a crawfish. They’re like little freshwater lobsters” “Pinch like it to” >“Yep..” >The two of you look at each other in silence for a moment >Anon begins laughing >You can’t help but laugh to >Well that certainly was something >Lets not do it again >Anon leads you back to the shore >You note that a few people are staring >Fuck em, mini lobster be a pain in the nose >You walk your way back up to the car and, with Anon’s help, towel off >The air is surprisingly less cold than you had expected >But Anon is shivering as he changes in the RV >Oh yeah, he’s fleshy >Carapace master race >Anon turns and see’s you staring >You quickly turn away >He smirks and gets changed >“Wanna bandage that nose, you’re getting green everywhere” “….yeah” >“Okay, get the first aid, under the passenger seat” >You go over and dig around >you open the first aid kit >….theres another gun in it >Wat “Anon…” >“what Ling?” >He sticks his head out the window >You open the case >He sighs and shakes his head “Why is there another one?” >“Because Its my backup backup” “wat” >“I carry three” “Why?” >“Because I can” “That seems unsafe” >“Better I carry a couple guns around than wish I had” “What do you mean” >He shrugs >“I guess I’m just paranoid” “yes…yes you are” >“You’ll see the collection when we get home” “W..what” ---LING WE’RE GOING BACK--- ---BACK TO THE FUTURE--- >“And that’s why Lings acting up” >On the phone the other person talks back, you can’t hear as you’re dealing with a person >“yeah, I’ll just show her, maybe that’ll convince her” >Wat >You take the paper money from the human and exchange the table >You can’t understand why they use paper money, its not as heavy as coins, but it is very easily ripped >Anon walks over sitting beside you >“How’ve you been holding up?” “Eh, looks like things are fine, but we havn’t sold as much as I thought. And we havn’t seen any of the neighbors. Back in Equestria, usually you saw neighbors before anyone else” >“Yeah its pretty annoying, but then again I never really socialize with them” “I can tell, You’re basically a NEET” >“How do you know about that?” >You look up to Anon >And put on a big grin “Because in every universe theres always at least a few” >You know too much >After selling off a few more things you take some inventory >There still plenty left to sell, lamps, tables, furniture mostly >Some cloths and other knick knacks and things >A lot of it didn’t seem to fit the house all that well, so that confused you >But whatever >You just want to get out of the sun and finish this boring process >Anon leans back in his chair looking over at you >“We’ll have to finish cleaning out the hose, but then we should be able to get going by tomorrow” “Really? We’re leaving that soon?” >“Sure, I mean, I’d like to make some stops before hand, but really, what else is there left to do” “Did you ever find a job?” >“Yep, I’m just working as an IT for hire. Its working out so far” “Then why aren’t you working?” >“Because this has a lot more freedom. Fix some issue, get paid, move on. “ “….okay then” >A few minutes later a guy comes up with a closed lock box >You don’t remember seeing one with a hand print on it though >Anon quirks an eye brow seeing this >The person walks up to you instead of Anon >that’s weird >He looks at you “How much for this box?” “Anon said they’re $10 a piece” >“That seems like a lot” “He also said that those lock boxes are expensive” >You get a strange bitter taste as you watch him “Oh, and, there was nothing in it right?” >“no, it was open” >You ALSO remember sitting them all down closed so they wouldn’t get dirt in them from people walking by >The bitter taste is stronger >>“Ling, he’s lying” >You blink at the voice in your head >Oh its just Chrysalis >>“Ask him whats in it. He‘s giving off strong lying flavor” “You SURE?” >“yeah pony, there was nothing in it" >He shoves a $10 bill in your face >You don’t take it “Well let me double check before you go” >Anon isn’t saying anything but you can tell he’s waiting to see how you handle this >The human grunts and leans down “Hey, I’m a human, you can’t talk to me like that, here's your money” >He starts to turn away >You snort and gag >It sounded..nasty as fuck and loud >You spit! >The green glob flies through the air >The humans around you are disgusted >The glob of green…stuff. Lands on the humans feet, almost instantly sticking to the ground like gum and causes him to fall >the box hit’s the ground >You run over as well as Anon >The human grunts “I swear I’ll sue you can get your little horse thing” >His anger is tasty >He walk over to the box and tap it >You can’t open it so you magically float it over to Anon >When he opens it you see his face flush red >And not in the blushing way >He’s mad >REALLY >FUCKING >MAD >ABORT MISSION COVER YOUR POOP DECK >BUILD THE WALL >Anon drops the heavy metal box ON the guy holding up >It looks like a pistol, but is made with wood, and has some rust on it >“You SON OF A BITCH” >You blink confused >“This was my GREAT GREAT GRANDFATHERS PISTOL” >You don’t get in a word before Anon rather suddenly kicks the guy, hard >And kicks him again >You should probably release him >>“Naw, let us observe the angry human” >Anon wails on him till he’s groaning and begging for it to stop >You just watch and drink in the agony >It tastes like salt >Anon ends it panting, many people staring >One person praises him >After a moment you speak up “We should let him go” >“yeah..and if he ever comes back I’ll shoot him with the gun” “…is this even legal” >“Well, we caught him stealing. And he just started fighting me, right ling” “N..no” >“Ling..” “….yeah he was really fighting you” >“Good” >The two of you stand in awkward silence as some people filter out, you dissolve off the goop >By spitting on it >Anon walks inside with his safe hiding the old pistol away again >You look at the guy as he holds his side while leaving >You KNEW you didn’t put that lock box out, he had to have gone inside your house for it >That’s fucking creepy >>“Good job Ling, you just stopped…whoever that was..from stealing something Anon cared about” >Wew >You go to check on Anon, trusting the only two people around not to steal after seeing that >When you walk inside you see Anon carrying a shotgun >WELP >THAT’S BIG >“10 gauge” “FOR WHAT PURPOSE” >“THAT is why I have a gun Ling, I’m not going to let some bastard waltz in and steal my shit” >That.. actually seems reasonable as long as he doesn’t kill anyone >Anon sits on the porch holding the gun in his lap >You sit beside him and continue your vigil over the mighty yard sale >All is well >Day of the yard sale ends with no more issues >When you walk inside, you turn to Anon >He’s checking the gun >You notice the bullets, or, as he called them for this gun, shells >Aren’t even in it >“Ling?” “yes Anon?” >“We need to talk” “About?” >“I have a lot of guns. And not all of them will fit in the RV, so before I sell some of them, we need to chat” “Oh..” >“Come with me” >You follow, getting the feeling that Anon is nervous >You don’t really understand why >When you reach the closet, Anon motions you to stop and walks in >When he comes out he has a case >He goes back in >And in >He does this a number of times, pulling out various long cases and small ones, some soft, some hard >All in all you count up around 15 cases >Anon looks at you >“Now Ling. Before I open these up I want to explain something to you” >You’re already amazed, knowing exactly whats in these, but you nod >In all honesty >You’re a bit on the terrified side >But this is Anon! >He loves you! >You hope “S..sure..” >You back up as he opens the first case >This one is much smaller >“This is a Beretta 92-s” “…I have no idea what that means” >“Basically it’s a gun that police officers tend to carry. I Know you havn’t seen it, but I have it on me all the time” >Oh yeah, that’s the one from the first aid kit “SO, you have more?” >“Uh” >He counts >“I have --” “…for what purpose” >“I inherited them and never got around to selling them” “Oh, I see..but, why didn’t you tell me” >“Well, because I never thought about it. And after seeing your reaction to that first one I didn’t want to scare you” >“Thanks, I guess” >He sits on the bed, picking up each gun >The ones with slides, he pulls back and checks in them, saying he was checking to make sure they weren’t loaded, just in case >All in all he lists them off simply, the pistols first >The Beretta 92-s thing >Something he calls a Glock 21 >A VERY big gun with a cylinder, he calls it a .44 Magnum >“I don’t shoot this. I don’t even have the ammo for it. it’s a good gun, but, I don’t really like all that power” >All that power >wat >>“I saw one of these when we fought” Chrysalis chimes in “It…is not a good device” >Well shit >He opens the safe from before >Inside is the leather bag, again familiar, with the black powder gun in it >“You already saw this, but I figured I’d explain it, you see, this gun was used by my great great grandfather during the American Civil war” “The what?” >“A war that pitted brother against brother, it was really bad. This gun is around 160 years old now. One day I might bring you to a museum so you understand better. But, anyway, I THINK it was my grandfathers father, but it might have been his father. My family didn’t keep stories very well. I don’t shoot this gun either, but that’s because its only for looks. Like jewelry one doesn’t wear. Its called a Colt London Navy” >You understand that >Celestia had a lot of jewels she didn’t wear, kept in museums and such >“That’s all the small guns I have, I’m going to sell off the glock and .44 magnum. I don’t need or want them” >You nod some “So, whats in the big cases? More of the small guns?” >He chuckles >“Nope” >He opens the first case >Its empty >Then you remember the shotgun he pulled out, a 10 gauge, so that’s whats in it >“That shotgun is a Parker 10 gauge. I don’t know anything about it, other than its powerful. I don’t think I’ll sell it.” “..go on” >You’re uncomfortable, yet curious and want to learn >He opens a soft bag like case next >This, he describes, is a Mosin Nagant, 1929 “That’s a big gun” >“For you” “….what?” >“I…. it’s a meme” “What” >He looks at you awkwardly and slowly puts the gun away >Moving on >In the biggest gun case is two identical guns, he calls them Winchester 70’s >He explains that they are hunting rifles >For shooting animals >Like deer >You’re gonna puke >That aint right >“…Sorry” >You wave him on and look away “Deer are a little off anyway, they seem slower than ponies” >“Wat” “what?” >“..anyway..” >he pulls out two more rifles, one from a hard plastic case, one from a soft case >The one from the plastic comes first >“This is an AK-47. My dad got it before a ban from a few years ago. it’s a neat gun, holds a lot of ammo. Gets a bit wobbly sometimes though if I shoot it too much too fast” >You notice it has “Remove Kebab” written in it “Whats that mean?” >“Hm? Oh that. Well. Uh..” >He sits there thinking >“Well, its sort of.. A running joke..” >he seems uncomfortable >You probably just don’t get the humor >The next gun he pulls out is form the soft case “This is another I’m keeping for sure. Its called an M1 Garand” >“This ones actually kinda pretty” >Its wood is very attractive and polished >The black metal of the barrel matches it well >And when Anon taps something it makes a loud ping noise making you jump and giggle! >Something about it just kinda looks better than the others, like it was really well taken care of >“Anyway, Ling. I was going to keep this Garand, the Beretta and maybe that 10 gauge. Well that and my oldest pistol. I was going to sell the others” “I mean, you don’t have to. I know I’m nervous about it, but I don’t want to give up something you like” >You shuffle your hooves >“No, its more a matter of room in the RV. I found a drawer under the bed, so, I have enough space for a few guns, but not much” “I see” >“yep..” >While Anon packs up, you consider all things said >You sort of understand, its like collecting rocks, for those pie ponies >Its just their thing >“I got all these from my dad. So I hope you understand” >Weird as it is, you do >He really does have a sentimental side that you haven’t seen much of >Hopefully you see some more of that >The feelings he gave off while showing these guns filled you right up! >Followed by some sadness at the prospect of selling them >But, it is what it is >You and Anon head back outside after all his guns are put in their boxes and get to work on cleaning up >Luckily there isn’t much left by now, so most of it goes in a free box and to the side of the road >Anon says he’s going to go out and try to sell the guns that he doesn’t want since its still fairly early >This leaves you home alone with a mostly empty house >Other than the furniture you didn’t sell and the knick knacks Anon INSISTED on keeping >While Anon is away the changelings will play >At least you would if you had the others with you >>“Well actually since he’s away” Chrysalis cuts in >>“Maybe we should see if there are any changelings in your area?” “But Mom, I don’t think Anon would allow me to start using his money to buy our sisters” >>“No, he won’t. I’ve been listening in and I know you aren’t cheap..But maybe you could convince Anon to set some free..” >You consider this idea >The idea of helping your relatives >Of course, Chrysalis had brought this up before >But the idea of YOU being chosen to help them >That takes a lot of work “I suppose, I could research it, but, how many of our sisters are even alive on this planet?” >>“Well, many of them, the healers, who many didn’t make it back that is” >You wince at that >>“They’re caught. Somehow the humans managed to stop contact. I suspect them to be under the care of their government.. Due to your..special abilities” >You’re well aware of your uh..healing vomit.. >Not that you’ve had to use it, Anon doesn’t exactly work too hard and nor does he supply any herbs for you to chew up >>“So, not including the 100 or so medics who I can’t contact, I say theres around, 200, maybe 300, of your sisters. I wish I could get an exact count, but I suspect a lot of them to be dead.. I’ve been monitoring, and after you where bought, well” >Chrysalis sighs loudly >Like, it even shakes your brain its so loud >You lean back “Whats happened to them” >>“Some of them cried out to me, and then suddenly silenced. The humans had to of killed several hundred. I know my attack force was 1000 strong, and was especially the whole hive. But only 198 of us made it back” “Why did you take our entire hive mom?” >>“I was there for more than just a love harvest. I was there to help Cadence and the purple smart one” >You sit there in thought >Meanwhile Chrysalis is obviously in her own world >Well, literally, yes, but also figuratively as she is in thought >You stand up “Alright, I’ll go onto his computer thingy and see if I can use it. Uh. I mean, why get the Princesses though?” >>“They’re the keys back to our world. With them opening portals, and Celestia, Luna, and Myself, on our side. Its possible we can get changelings through. I MAY be able to do it alone. But only very little, if we can get Cadence’s help. A bridge cannot be built from one side” “What..” >>“Just something I thought up” “neat” >>“I try” >You make your way into Anons bedroom >Luckily he left his computer on >The monitor is off so you pick up a pen with your magic >Slowly >Slowly >there we go >You tap the button on it and it turns on >You look over the various folders and Chrysalis explains what to look for >Using your magic on the mouse you maneuver it over to what looks like a colorful wheel icon >Click >With the web browser open you use your pen to start typing >Your knowledge of the computer is limited, but enough to know browsing the internet >You type in ‘changelings for sale’ >Most of its information on changelings or help forums >Turns out, unsurprisingly, that people don’t understand how to take care of your kind >Well you primarily survive on love so.. >You find an auction site! >yes! >Changelings for sale >They’re at a higher price than Anon told you that you were at >You look through it, no images, other than one >Well makes sense, you have a rather generic look >There are various auctions all on the one site, from all around the country >Not wasting time looking at all of them, you look for a search bar >Bingo >You type in Changeling >182 results >That’s.. disappointing >Maybe they’re not all on the auction for sale >You do notice a number of the results say ‘sold’ >In general however you find results from all over the country >Very very few in Tennessee >Remembering back, you had to have been in that damn van for nearly 5 hours, maybe you were in another state >Next you try searching for Princess Mi Amore Cadenza >0 >Okay >Princess Cadence >1 result >Sold >fuck >Oh look a history >You click on her sales history >She has a tracking number >That’s spooky >She was originally sold to someone for..well over a million dollars >That’s.. well actually you could see a princess for that >She was later sold for half that >And again for another half with a note added on to it that she was trouble >It seems after getting bounced around to several parts of the country, originating from near the original portal opening site in a state called “Washington” she was eventually sold to someone else for around 50k since she was so much trouble >Theres a big gap from there >Then sold again to another unnamed person for about that same price >In Tennessee >You think hard then face hoof >>“Really how did you not notice” “I was too busy messing with Anon!” >>“Ugh..ling. You‘re so easily distracted” “Am not!” >>“Don’t talk back to me girl!” >You go quiet and go back to thinking >You were standing right in front of her not long ago >Hopefully she’s still working in that sex shop >But based on her sell price, and the fact that not a single one of the buyers left any information on this ‘official pony auction’ website other than a state >You are suspicious that she’s isn’t exactly owned by some poor business owner >Even in Canterlot, one didn’t have a lot of money without doing some shady deals >You have to get her out of there >With the basics of your mission figured out, you no longer need the internet >You close out of the internet browser >At least you try >The mouse skips and opens up a random folder >You yelp in a panic, unsure what you’re opening up and start clicking the screen >Its opening more windows >There’s like 10 windows open! >PANIC >You do the only logical thing and start clicking every red X you see >Then you stop on a window >>“What” “what” >You lean forward trying to see the icons >Carefully you maneuver the mouse over and click, opening a bigger window >On the screen before you is >Oh >>“…That’s just not right” “It looks suspiciously like..” >>“Our ovipositors” “…ew” >>“Mines prettier” “EW” >>“What is it?” “Well, its clearly female.

The humans flew a few of these over head against us. I think they called then… aeroplanes, er, f-35 or something like that” “Oh..So, what is this exactly? They took a suit made from the aeroplane and put it on the human?” >>“I believe so” >Anthro planes “….fascinating” >Okay >Last one >You swear >You click the little arrow >Oh.. >OH >In front of you is a similar snake girl >These snakes are surprisingly pretty >With a green tail >And… two penises >Though you can only see one entering a human female with glowing eyes >With some kind of xray image of her insides, the two penises releasing an off color cum into her woman and anus >Humans >Freaking >humans >You slowly close the laptop leaving the image closed “Chrysalis, mom” >>“yes?” “I need to go bleach my eyes” >>“Agreed” >You walk over to the couch and slowly sit down to wait on Anon while you process what you’ve seen today >When Anon returns he doesn’t have the guns with him >He sits beside you and stretches >“Well Ling, I sold off those extra guns” “Who’d ya sell em to” >“I decided to go to a gun smith to make things easier, they gave be a fair price since they gotta sell em to” “How much?” >“Eh it doesn’t matter, But we had to do a bank transfer.

So, tomorrow?” >“Eh, yeah, as long as the buyers real estate agent actually shows up” >You nod and scoot a bit to the side “So..” >You feel a tad awkward sitting with him and talking to him >Especially with what you JUST saw “Anon I…” >You turn to him >Anon looks down at you >“yes Ling?” “Well, I went on your computer” >You shuffle your hooves “And I was looking for some of my friends” >“Oh, you went to the auction site?” “yeah..” >“Did you find anyone” “I did, sort of.. But I was wondering” >He looks at you confused >You’ll deal with the elephant in the room first “Well, first, whats with your porn” >Anon blinks, sitting there clearly stunned for a moment >Then looks away >“I uh..well.. Ya know” >The two of you shuffle your feet and hooves uncomfortably “… We should just ignore this and move on” >“Yes, yes we should” “Snakes are sexy” >“yes they are” >With the autism and awkwardness of Anons porn stash behind you >Literally being that the computer has been set up in the RV behind you >You’re on your way to >Well, who knows >Anon said he’d probably head out west, it’ll probably take a few weeks >All the while you’ve been thinking of the best way to bring up Cadence with him >he’s doing the final preparation to leave >Unlike before when he just took off, this time he’s REALLY going through everything >The biggest issue of course being how to strap his computer down in the RV >He decided on attaching the case to the inside of a cabinet and putting pillows around it when its in motion >You take a deep breath and wait for him to return to the car >Its takes some time but he does >“Alright Ling, you got everything? You cleaned out your room right?” “Yep. I moved everything here” >“But did you CLEAN it” >You sigh and rolls your eyes “Yessss I did” >“Good, that goo shit will get us in trouble” >You nod and leans back in your seat “Well..I wanna talk to you before we go” >“Huh?” “Well,. You remember seeing a pink unicorn with wings?” >“Yeah, the prostitute from the sex shop” >You wince >> “Tell him” Chrysalis speaks up “I want to get her out” >“you’re shitting me. Ling.. That’s impossible. She may be cheap, but she costs a hell of a lot more than you did” “No, you don’t understand” >“Ling theres no way I can..” “ANON!” >“…” “anon we HAVE to get her back. She’s important” >“What makes her so important? I thought you said changelings..” “She can help” >“Help what?” “Everypony” >Anon goes silent and turns to you >“What are you saying?” “You may be nice to me. But my sisters are dieing. Even being killed because they’re not being sold. That pink pony can be our salvation and help us” >He sits there, thinking, confused >it’s a sudden, and big, thing to take on “I need you’re help with this Anon. I want to save my sisters” >“That’s extremely dangerous” “I know. But. I need you” >‘Do you even REALIZE the penalties for a stolen pony? Assuming she doesn’t have a tracking chip or a shock collar? I could get prison. Or shot. This is the south. We have guns. WE USE THEM” “ANON PLEASE. This is for a whole species!” >“I’m a human! Look, I like YOU ling. But I don’t know the rest of you” “You know Chrysalis” >“…Sort of” “I could have her speak to you” >“How so?” “Well, she could speak to me, and I speak on her behalf” >“Without lieing to me?” “You REALLY think I’d do that? I mean, this is QUEEN Chrysalis” >“Well, okay. What does she want” >>“Tell him Cadence is a Princess. I need her so I can complete a basic connection between myself and her to open a portal to Equestia” >You follow through to Anon, word for word >He looks at you suspiciously and nods >“So the idea is we get Cadence. And then what?” >>“Hold onto her till she is back at full power. Then try a portal. It may not be.. perfect. Since it will be significantly weaker, but we could get one or two ponies through” >“This is some next level shit. So what. I steal a pony. And nurse her, then we try a portal. If it works then what” >>“if she works with us. Let her choose. If not. Kick her ass out” >“… okay then” >>“If all goes well, she can start helping pones through” >“I’m going to be a human resistance leader or some shit?” >>“Not exactly, more like, maybe transport. Ling can handle most of it” “Wait me?” >>“Who better to sneak around than a changeling” “O..oh..well..” >“I’ll..” >Anon pauses putting a hand to his forehead >“I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but. Deal. I’ll do it” “AW GREAT ANON THANK YOU!” >>“Good good!” >“But!” “Shit” >>“Fuck” >“I have to get something out of this. I am only human” >he grins at you >You cringe >Suddenly Chrysalis speaks up >>“You can fuck her” “YOU WHAT” >>“Tell him” “S..she says you can..ya know” >You shuffle your hooves “Have se-” >“JESUS CHRIST LING NO” >Oh >Well then “Mom that was wrong” >>“I was joking” >There is a hissing laugh from her >You sigh >>“What, I saw his porn. I thought he’d be into her” >“Absolutely disgusting” >Both of you say at the same time >He starts up the car >“Well I sure as hell and not going in without a plan” >>Chrysalis grins, the grin is so painfully obvious you KNOW she’s doing it right now “Alright got it” “Well, tell us Mom” >>“Heres the plan. Anon lends you the money to rent Cadence. You go in as a stallion. Say your master is rewarding you for being a good pony or something. Ask if Anon kept your collar, we’ll need it for that” “I’m wearing it” >>“Oh right. He bought you the new one. See if he kept the old one. The new one gives it away of who you are. Reguardless. When you’re alone with Cadence. Do whatever you need to and get her out of there. Kill the owner if need be. Have Anon wait out back with the trailer ready to go” “This is extremely intricate. You sure about this” >>“No” “Lovely” >“Whats she saying” >You turn to him “I need however much it costs to rent her. You unlock the trailer and wait out back. When I come out. Be ready to run” >“This is insane” “But fun” >“Well, I’ll need a mask and we need to cover the plates” >You think “Ah I know. I’ll use my uh..well I guess you’ve taken to calling it goo. It’ll fall off once we get going at highway speed. But will hold on till we’re away’ >“Okay, that’ll work” “Then its settled. Lets do this” >Anon sighs, but nods >He reaches behind you can grabs some duct tape and a towel >When he wraps it on his head he looks like those people you saw on the news >You remember Anon calling them ‘filthy goat fuckers’ >When he arrives at the plaza, you hop out, concentrating you take the form of a stallion >This stallion is tall, brown, with a sandy mane and tail >Archives in the changelings minds say he was a stage coach puller >Who knows where he is now. But everyone knows >Earth pony kicks can kill humans >You turn to Anon “Get ready to take off as soon as possible” >“trust me I will” >You walk around back, spitting on both the license plates >As long as you get back before the stuff hardens all is well >next you get the money from Anon with the promise you’ll return with more >He told you not to >Fuck it might as well if you get the chance >You walk around front, almost shaking from nervousness >This is insane what are you doing >You’re going to get killed >FUUUUCK >When you walk in, Cadence is sitting looking out the window with a dead look in her eyes >There is a sudden joke and she sits up >“Hello welcome to.. Oh hello” >Cadence looks at you confused and looks around for a human >With no human to be found she cocks and eye brow >You look around then gulp “Well, My master sent me in here as a present” >You see a skinny hand pull the curtain to the back away and a scrawny pissy looking guy comes out >“What’re you looking for pony” >He has a slightly gruff and nasaly voice with venom to it >You wince “He said I could use your Prince- Whore” >He grins and walks over “Well good for you she’s freshly cleaned >You see Cadences eyes grow dark >Anon, when he lost his job, you got sick >This however >You’re GOING to throw up >No, hold it together, you can do this >You put the money on the table and slide it forward, after double checking the crudely made sign on her flank >Anon gave you JUST enough thankfully >The man roughly flaps Cadences flank and points her past the curtain >You slowly follow her back and the man laughs “Have fun” >You cringe and Cadences lowers her head as she walks through >Behind the curtain is a safe, a gun on the wall, two security cameras Tvs, one is outside, the other in the shop, and various toys, some open >You gulp and keep walking >Cadence leads up into a room on the left >Its empty other than a single bed >She sighs ‘Just get it over with” >You close the door >Fuck no lock >You’re going to puke, her feelings are a physical twist on your stomach by now “Okay. Princess Cadence. Listen, please. This is important” >She eyes you, suddenly confused >You try to speak but end up puking >On her >She gags and winces, trying to hold it in >“I know some of you are sick, but please, don’t, my master will get mad” “N..no Cadence, listen, I’m here to help you” >“H..help?” >You eyes you confused >You walk over and whisper “Cadence, be quiet, but I’m a changeling sent to get you out” >She gulps some stepping away “I’m already low enough. I don’t want you bugs doing any more. If you’re going to kill me, just do it. The heart is shattered. Theres nothing left for me” >You wave your hoof and eye the door whispering “No you don’t understand, I’m here to free you” >“Impossible” “Just..please” >You transform >With a flash you’re back to your true form >She winces and you feel some anger, but mostly saddness >You puke again >You grab her head “I don’t care we just need to go, right now, I’ll explain in the car” >“Even if I did try to leave, this collar would kill me before I got out the door” “Then take it off” >“I can’t, only a special rubber coated key can do that” >Well >fuck >>“Your horn” >Oh, right >You go up to Cadence and examine her collar >the key hole is small, but you MAY be able to pick it with your horn >Maybe “Okay, lay down, and stay still” >You slowly move over her back >She winces and you feel her about to cry >…she’s actually kind of hot >She got dat ass >>“LING” >You move your horn down and try pressing it into the hole >it’s a tight fit >Like, really tight >but the tip does go in >YES >You start wiggling your horn, and feel one of the tumblers >an electric zap hits you, but luckily, your chitin is electrically resistant >gently >Gently >It falls into place! >Okay one more >You take in a deep breath >Cadence is shaking “Just..watch the door.” >She does so, since there isn’t another option >You try to pry the next one >Its not moving >Fuck >You grip the collar and start going harder at it >YES! TWO! >With a hard zap that burns your horn, you pull out >The collar falls off >…Cadences necck, under the collar, has been shaved, and is not in good condition >When she reaches up her eyes go wide >“Y..you did it! You broke the collar!” >You wave your hooves “SHUSH!” >Too late >The door flies open, making you and Cadence jump >The man walks in with a scowl “WHAT THE FUCK IS GOIN- CADENCE YOU CANDY ASS WHORE GET YOUR COLLAR ON” >Her eyes go wide >Her nostrils flare >He sees this and yells, then runs to grab the gun >It sits too late >Cadence charges at him with a pissed off scream and tears streaming down her face >All you can hear in a scream of agony, and you taste the pain, and her relief upon the revenge >it’s a sweet taste >The man his heard screaming, followed by the sickening sound of bones crunching, and the unmistakable sound of a horn stabbing a skull >it’s the kind of crunch you know without having to see >Then you hear what you didn’t want to >Foot steps, running >From the other side of the hall is a yell “She’s out! Get that bitch!” >More foot steps >You rush out of the room and look around, the gun! >Cadence tries to use magic, but it fizzles out >She must still be on those supressants >This is not good >You use your magic to pull the gun off the wall >it’s a shot gun! >Thank Anon for his lessons! >You cock it and turn towards the hall >Shit you don’t know that gun! It looks like Anons AK, but more boxy, and smaller! >Uh think ling >“What the fuck! “ followed by more yells >Cadence suddenly steps on the head of the man >The two large men burst out into the small control room >You raise the gun to your shoulder like Anon showed you >Standing on two legs is hard >One of them points the gun at you >You panic >Using your magic to pull the trigger >followed by a loud bang >And an feminine scream >Everything is silent >Your ears are ringing >Cadence is holding her head >Theres blood everywhere >One of the men is grabbing the other >The other has a hole in his chest >Cadence is grabbing your arms >You can’t hear her >Whats happening >You look at her >She’s covered in blood >Why is it raining >No, that’s you and Cadence >She’s crying >You hope she’s okay >Theres a scream in your head suddenly >Something wizes by your head >It hurts >Suddenly you’re brought back and Cadence and Chrysalis are screaming >The human is yelling back >“WE NEED TO LEAVE” >>“GET OUT OF THERE LING” >You scramble and grab for the gun again, shooting again This time it misses, the TV explodes >You grab Cadence and start running >The human chases you >You look back >FUCK HE HAS HIS GUN OUT >He’s shooting at you! >You fire back >Cadence suddenly screams and her weight is on you >You use your magic to throw the gun >it’s a one in a million chance but the heavy steel implement slams into the human, knocking him back, he drops his own weapon >You hold onto cadence and run as fast as your combined legs can take you >>“CHANGE, CHANGE NOW!” >Chrysalis yells, and you are hit with an image >The fastest running pony you’ve ever seen >You would of with flying, but you’d have to carry Cadence >You transform mid step, your mane turns blond, your fur orange >You have apples as a cutie mark >Cadence seems to cringe >You feel a burst of new energy, the power of an earth pony travels through your veins >Your ear is bleeding everywhere though >You use this new found strength to lift cadences bad side and run >She clings for dear life but you can handle it >Rounding the corner your can feel your hooves scrape the concrete, Anon is there, revving the engine >He has his pistol out >“GO! GO! GET IN THE BACK!” >He screams loud >You rush for it and use your magic to throw open the door for you >The both of you tumble inside >You grab the door on the way in and slam it shut >The squealing of the tires fills your ears and you all are jerked forward >Running to the back, you peer out the window >The lone human is chasing you down the road >One thing you are thankful for is Anon taking his time to get here >Its around 10am and this area is nearly dead, besides a few people >They aren’t even in this plaza, they’re across the road >Most probably aren’t even watching >Damn humans never notice obvious things in front of them >Wait >That human >He saw you and Cadence >You have to destroy the evidence >You can taste how angry Cadence is >>“Kill him Ling” >It hurts >but you have no choice >You aren’t a warrior.

Just let me see your leg” >“No!” >She leans on the leg, the pressure will slow the bleeding, but just by seeing it you know she needs attention “I’m not going to hurt you Cadence. If I was, then you’d be dead” >She glares at you “I’m serious. I just risked my life for you” >She takes a breath >“Promise me” “Promise you what?” >“Promise me this isn’t a game” >She looks down >“I’m done fighting. If you’re going to kill me. Please. Just do it. Don’t go through this charade with me” “Cadence I..” >“I’m already a dead mare.

This is going to hurt. But you have to work with me. I’ve treated a similar injury before” >The first thing you do is look around for anons belts >Easy enough >You use that as a tourniquet >She’s breathing heavy as you look for his medical kit >Unsurprisingly you find a military surplus one >God damn it Anon >When you open it your eyes practically glimmer >it’s a gold mine of tactical healing products! >You didn’t even have anything this good in the field! >You grab the pressure dressing and begin your work >Diligently you clean and stuff the wound >Followed by wrapping it >In the kit, labeled as ‘pain killers’ is tylonal >You quickly give them to Cadence, she reluctantly swallows “Okay. We’re done. But I need to get you to.. Oh!” >You grin brightly >Cadence is creeped out “Stay here” >“I didn’t exactly plan on going anywhere” >>“Ling are you SURE you want to drag him into this” “I don’t have a choice chrysalis” >Cadence watches you talking to yourself uncomfortably >>“Okay. “ >You look around the Rv and find a walkie talkie >Anon put these in here to help him back into spots, but now, this is important >You turn it on “Anon. Anon come in” >A moment later, and quick swerving that terrifies you, Anon rings back >“That’s a 10/4 bug buddy” “Anon, call this phone number. Ask for his address. We need to visit him” >“Who is it?” “You’ll see” >“Sure..Is everything okay?” “No its not. Also why do you have a trauma kit?” >“Never know when some dumbass at the shooting range is going to try to kill themselves” “….good enough” >You put the talkie back down and watch Cadences wound >Its not pretty, and theres blood all over the floor >When you check your ear, theres a chunk of it missing, your earring is gone >Fuck >For now however >You wait >It takes some time, but the RV stops >Peeking outside you see you’re at the pony clinic/vet >Not exactly what you had planned, but seeing Matt running outside is a great relief >He opens the RV door and looks inside >“Jesus Ling what happened! Is tha!” >He closes the door >“Is that Cadence?! THE PRINCESS!” “Yes it is. Now shut up and help me!” >“Ling what have you done?!” “It doesn’t matter I need your help!” >“S..sure. Uh” >He gulps and walks over >As soon as he picks Cadence up she passes out >Good enough >“I’ll uh, help her, but you all HAVE to leave. This is a fucking Princess. And the clinic is suppose to be CLOSED right now. I’ll get in so much trouble if I’m caught.” >Oh yeah, the clinic doesn’t open till 12 >Woops “Don’t worry, we will” >He gulps and carries her inside to fix her up proper >You stay to clean the mess >Nearly 12 oclock >The police have to be at that scene by now >And the news >Anon, thankfully, has joined you in the cleaning >He also patched up your ear >Though, there isn’t much to be done about a hole in the ear, so its more of a bandage wrap >The blood smeared from the door to the middle of the RV isn’t easily cleaned, and Anon will probably need to replace that section of floor >For now a throw rug from a thrift store will work >He also decided to turn on the radio >This makes you very nervous >Inside, Matt is tending to Cadence >He hasn’t come out yet, and you’re afraid he’s going to fuck this up >Naw, no way, he’s too cool >You sigh and scrub at the carpet >By now, surely the bodies have bee- >The radio switches to the news >FUUUUUU >At first its just weather and normal stuff >But then you hear what you DIDN’T want to >“3 bodies were found in a local adult super store. The mare, a well known princess who had been trouble for her previous masters, known as Princess Cadence, is missing. Due to the nature of the graphic scene it is suspected that the mare had been off her magic suppressants and had stuck back” >You gulp >“The local police department has taken all potential evidence, including the security tapes, which had been shot and set on fire“ >You blink >You didn‘t start a fire “Anon do we have a tv?” >“No, be quiet“ He sits close to the radio. >“It is believed that the murder weapons were a shotgun, owned by the store owner, and a piece of rebar, used to stab one of his sons” >FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU >“The victims. 89 Year old Lenny “Slippery fingers” Abello Vasquez, was a former mobster.

Maybe they wont know who did it and think it was cadence. But we need to stay away for a while” “Yeah, I know..” >You look down and sigh “I’ll check on Cadence” >He touches you “You stay here. Start thinking of ways to disguise her” >Oh >you didn’t think about that >>“You should have” >….. >…so anyway >You think about it >You need to change her cutie mark and hide her wings >Maybe dye her coat >Yeah >While you think about it, outside, Matt carries a sleeping Cadence out to the RV >He lays her on the bottom bunk >HEY THAT’S YOUR BUNK >>“Let her sleep there” “But moooom” >>“No buts” >You huff but sit down >Anon thanks matt and matt sticks his head in looking at you >“Look, she’ll be okay. I have no idea what you did. But you better get her out of her” >He walks over and wraps his arms around you softly >“Good luck. I’m hoping for the best. If you’re going to do something stupid. Just be careful” >If only he knew >Anon kicks the side of the trailer jerking your head up >“LETS GOO” He yells >Matt pats your head and walks out >You walk out with him and look at Anon >Anons missing an eye brow >Oh yeah >Duct tape >He nods and locks the door, leaving threadlike talkie at Cadences side >“So did you think up anything?” He asks as he hops into the truck >You follow suit “yeah. We could pick up some dye to cover her cutie mark. “ >“What about her wings” “That’s what I’m afraid of” >You sink down into your seat “We could get away with a shirt for now…” >“Maybe we could pick up some fake fur in her color?” “Wat” >“Make like, a little coat or something that looks like its her fur and she just looks cubby” “that’s… actually brilliant” >The truck roars to life >You breath heavily and touch your injured ear >“Hey..” >Anon rests a hand on your head >“I’m glad you’re safe Lingy” >You hiss and look away with a firm scrunch >Just as you both are leaving town, you spot a hobby store >You wave at Anon “Hey, look, a hobby shop” >Based Hobby Lobby >“Great. I’ll run in. You go check on Cadence” >You nod and hop out to go into the RV >Anon hurries inside >You go into the Rv to check on Cadence >She’s bled through her bandages, but looks alright >For now it’ll do >You sit beside her checking her over carefully, examining her breathing and the areas around the bandage >Luckily, the way she is wrapped, her cutie mark is covered >So that only leaves the other side >You carefully roll her sleeping form onto her back >>“She’s pretty when she’s not trying to kill me” “….mom plz” >There is a giggle >You sigh and examine the exit area >Oh great she’s sweating a bit >And its running over her mare- >NO >>“Oh my” >NOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE >When the two of you meet back up, Anon is carrying spray hair paint, and a roll of pink faux fury >The fur needs to be shaved down a little, and maybe sun bleached a little, but will work >The paint, well it’ll work but he only bought two colors >Fuuuuuck >You sit there and think, what would work for her >Hmm.. >You look at the gold and blue paints, thinking about what you can do with that >Her husband was in the guard >Maybe something guard related >‘ya know, her little gold thingies look like fish” >You lean in looking at her ass mark >I mean cutie mark >Indeed it does look like gold fish >actually >You take cadences sleeping pony and get to work, Anon leans back and decides to speak up >Well its been long enough that Anon has probably heard all the news reports, and given it time to sink in >“Ling, the radio..” >You sigh as you work the gold over her mane “I know.. But they brought out guns I had no choice” >Anon sighs and looks down >“I understand but.. you Killed them Ling” >You whimper as you work down her tail next >Somehow she’s still asleep >must be whatever drugs Matt gave her “What do I do Anon?” >“I don’t know, this has gone even above my head. “ “I’m trying to just imagine what Cadence must have been through, and hoping that justifies it” >“I’m just a human. They may have enslaved her, but they didn’t kill her.” “But is it worse to kill or to enslave” >Anon looks at you >He puts his hoodie up >You look down and switch to painting her cutie mark >“Be careful. You’re my best friend. I’ll always have your back” >You smile softly and take a deep breath “What if I do it again” >Anon walks over touching your head >“I’ll just trust you to do whats right.” >He stands there is silence, watching you as you work >His touch is comforting, it makes you feel like everything will be alright >How DOES one react to killing >Not all of them were self defense >Not only that but you broke your code of ethics >Medics do NOT hurt people >>“Unless they need to” >True, but its tearing you up inside >>“Ling. I know you grow attached to this human world. I do not share your sympathy. I’d just as soon see that world burned to the ground” >You wince >>“However” >that’s comforting >>“There are clearly good humans. Anon is going with our silly plan. And I find him… acceptable. Our focus should be on getting your sisters to some form of freedom.” “But what should I do” >Anon blinks looking down at you >“Talking to your queen?” >You nod >he smiles and sits down beside you >“I’d like to know what she’s saying. She has some crazy ideas” “….I don’t think I can share all that” >>“He won’t trust us if we don’t tell him.” >You sigh “She likes you. “ >“what does she want exactly” >>“She wants the D” “She wants to free the changelings” >Anon sits there, thinking >“You already to me that. But, we’re basically starting a huge revolution here” “Yes..” >>“Its glorious” >You scowl >“Fuck it” >He throws his hands up >“Saving an alien species and traveling across the country seems a lot better than moping around. Besides those guys where probably murderers” >That’s.. >>“A tartarus of a way to justify that” >yeah “You’re insane” >Anon smiles at you under his hood >“I know. But I mean. I never supported the slavery thing. “ >You’re kidding >He’s REALLY going to just go along with this “are you high?” >“Bored with watching you paint her butt” >Celestia damn it >Cheeky bastard “Whats something..I guess. Water related?” >“A boat?” “Nooo.. Theres gotta be something” >“How about an anchor?” >You tap your chin “I need an anchor stencil then” >He nods and goes to make one >It looks okay >You use it to paint on a perfect shield with an anchor in the middle >Cadence is now a sea faring warrior >or something >Next would be the wrap for her wings >You’ll worry about that when she wakes up, too much work at once. >You sit in the RV with Cadence, waiting for her to wake up >This bitch sleeps more than you >That says something >Anon has taken to driving, deciding that the best possible thing is to go ahead and leave >You sits on the top bunk looking down at Cadence, unsure how to proceed >This is really awkward having no one to talk to >>“You have us” “That’s different” >You roll your eyes and flop back into the bed >A few minutes later, and a few bumps later, there is a loud groan >You peer over the edge >Standing >On the edge >Of the crate- bed >Cadence is that is >You smile “Ah so the pretty princess awakens” >She groans >“What happened..I remember getting shot then..” “that’s about it actually” >She looks up at you then screams, hopping back to the other side of the RV >You roll your eyes “Candy ass please” >“Y..you’re a changeling” “We already went through this” >She looks confused at you for a moment >When she approaches its slow and methodic, calculating every step >Of course she WOULD know you already knew that but she thinks she knows what she’s doing >With that limp, you find it funny >“Oh, you’re the one from the..” >You nod >She looks at you again, then points to your ear >You smirk “Pfft just a flesh wound” >“Well I suppose holes are nothing new for you anyway” >FUCK >You need a come back “Pfft, at least I’m not as familiar with them as you” >Nailed it >Cadence eyes you for a moment, confused >You try to act like you’re proud >>“That was shit” >WELP “ANYWAAAAAAAAAAY” >You hop off the bed and make your way into the small bathroom “Follow me we need to discuss your new life” >She follows behind >“I’m going to go home, find twilight, and we’re going to start planning” “No. I saved you by Chrysalis’ order. You’re going to help us” >“You can’t make me” “You havnt heard the whole thing >You move to the side so she can see herself in the mirror >She screams >You slap her >She grabs her cheek and glares at you “Now. Since I only had gold and blue to work with. You’re now a navy mare” >“But..equestrias navy was extremely small. And we didn’t use blue” “I didn’t know that. But I don’t care. I couldn’t think of anything else” >Cadence eyes you confused as she looks herself over, clearly surprise by how well you can work with some spray on hair dye >You show her the can >She blinks and looks it over >“This says permanent” “Even better. Less we’ll have to buy” >‘Why’d you paint my hair in my sleep changeling?” “My names Ling. First of all. And second, because you’re a wanted mare” >“Oh yeah..” “So we’re going to hide you and use this new identity. We also need to bind your wings. We have some fur I want you to try on” >She gasps >’Fur! In pink! How could you!” >You roll your eyes “Its fake fur from the store we got the hair coloring stuff at” >She keeps playing with her hair >“But why go through all this trouble to help me, I thought changelings hated us” >You sigh, she is really dense “Look, The queen thinks a partnership would be mutually beneficial. If we can use you to save my sisters. You can save your ponies. “ >“I suppose that makes sense” “Remember I was the one who saved your butt. And I bet they’ll put a bounty on you. Turning you in would help neither of us so I want to help” >Cadence seems to think about it as she exit’s the bathroom, but ultimately gives you a confirming nod >“Fine. For now we can work together while I decide if this is a good idea. Now about this fur.” >You bring her the sheet over and drape it over her wings, then pull it tight >It doesn’t blend perfectly, it needs a trimming, and she needs a bath. But you could make it at least look like its part of her. Even if its slightly off color >You take one of anons black markers and mark the point which her wings are bound to her body comfortably, but still tight. >the sew line marked, you look for one of Anons jackets >Since he didn’t buy any velco or anything, you’re going to steal some of the buttons off >fuck it why not >Cadence watches you as you work, attaching the buttons and covering their backs with bits of cut off fur >You wish you were better at this, but it’ll work >She leans over, biting the button and holding it in place for you >That’s nice of her >“So, where are we?” She asks through clenched teeth “We’re in Anons RV, but truth be told. I have no idea where that is” >She sighs and you move to the next button >Her questions are limited thankfully, focusing on trying to pry out exactly who you are and anon and whats going on >All of which you explain with ease >When you finish you have a tube to go around her barrel >Snapping it in place shows that >Well >Its good enough >You need to find a way to lighten it up though and make it more like her coat color >But the passing person probably wont notice >Hopefully >Cadence tries to flex her wings >This pops the buttons and makes it pop off “Yeaaah we’ll need to bind your wings” >Cadence cringes looking at you >You pat her head >She cringes away from that, but then sighs >“What’re you thinking” “well we ruined one of Anons belts. Might as well just use that. “ >You magically float it over and wrap it around her, tightening it “Too tight?” >“No” >You tighten “now?”\ >“No” >Little more “Now?” >“Its perfect” >You cut the belt to make it as close to the buckle as possible “Into bondage?” >“W..what! No!” “Well you like a tight belt around you so I just though-” >You’re cut off by a slap of a hoof to your face >Luckily not that hard, just a light sting >You laugh >Cadence laughs >You think you hear laughing from the front >Naaww Anon wouldn’t be able to hear >Probably >With her new get up on, she tries to flex her wings and doesn’t “great! Just remember of exercise your wings. Hows your magic” >“….” “Oh..” >“Yeah..” “We’ll figure it out later I suppose” >You sit beside her examining her new disguise >this may just work “Now, we’ll also need a new name for you” >“This is a lot to take in” “Better get it over with now” >Cadence looks down >You go to hug her >Anon hit’s a bump making the whole trailer jerk >You fall into her, awkwardly holding her around her middle and face firmly in her lap >WELP >You are Ling >you are paralyzed >Not literally but you’re faces position is making you stiffen in shock >Cadences hoof is on your back >You’re blushing bright green >This is embarrassing >You don’t even like this pink chick >Maybe a little >She’s kinda cute >But you’re not into her >You should probably move your face from her crotch >Probably >You lift your face from Cadence, in turn she scoots away from you shyly >The two of you awkwardly exchange a glance of ‘lets never speak of this’ >Within moments the RV stops however and there is a loud knock at the door >You run over to the window and look >FUUUUCK it’s the police >Anon is standing beside him >You look at Cadence and gulps “U..uh, look like you’re sleeping” >She nods and hurries over to the bed, hopping in >You rush over and open the door >Two things hit you >First >The cop absolutely does not want to be there >Second >There isn’t a single car, all big rigs >Well, that’s good >Probably >You don’t really know any truckers other than some shipping ones >They were nice >The policeman is talking to Anon before he looks to you >“You must be Ling” “I am” >He leans down >“Look, I’m just doing an inspection to make sure no ones hopped a ride. That and making sure this things actually road legal, Any other ponies here?” >You gulp >Just behind the man, Anon nods >Chrysalis is screaming not to lie, as it would cause more issues >He raises a brow at your hesitation >You quickly nod “Y..yeah. But she’s asleep” >‘I need to see her bra- mark” >You blink >Brand? >Does he mean cutie mark? >You don’t get time to think about it as you are pushed aside and the officer goes inside >Anon is looking at you nervously >He mouths to you, which are thankful you can read lips ‘just go along with it.’ >Anon is visibly more nervous than you >There is a grunt then >Surprisingly >The sound of petting >And a feeling of pleasure >You turn around >….Cadence has her head down being petting by the cop >I..is he smiling >wat >You watch, utterly confused, that this police officer is not cuffing you right now >A few moments later he turns around >“Alright, all clear. That pony of yours is surprisingly friendly. I aint never seen anything like it.” >Anon shrugs “well, you know. I’m just really good with them” >He nods and sees himself out >Anon sighs and looks down as soon as the man is out of range >“Cadence. You need to stay in this RV and not come out. Luckily he didn’t notice you. But if he did..” >She nods “yeah I understand” >You look between the two then smile at Cadence >She smiles back >“Well, anyway, before we go, I need to get gas and some other stuff. I stopped at this here truck stop because they have the best food. Need anything” >You shrug >Cadence shrugs “I just need a show” “I should probably get one to” >“Okay, well, I’ll get some Lung, fuel up, and we’ll head back out. I’m going to drop the trailer. If anyone comes by asking, tell them I needed to, to get some gas” >You and Cadence nod in unison “We should get you a different name” >“Sea breeze” “what?” >“Sea breeze” >That was easy “Okaaaay.” >The trailer hit’s the ground making you grip the bedding, Cadence does the same >While anon heads inside, you peer out the window >You notice Anon going into the restraunt half of the truck stop after he fuels up >this is going to be a while >Cadence is cleaning up >While she’s cleaning up you’re double checking your supplies >Couple days of food >We wait got shit captain >Waters low and getting lower as Cadence showers >As much as you want to let her enjoy it, you only have a limited amount of water >Fuck it, you’ll shower later >Soon enough cadence gets out and you motion her to follow >The two of you make your way up to the main building, passing a number of trucks >Her hair is a little lighter now, but still looks natural, just enough to make her different >Her cutie mark isn’t all that changed either >She doesn’t smell now! >Berries yes >You enter the store without issue >So far no one recognizes her, that’s good >Anon is in line not noticing you >SO FAR SO GOOD “Okay Ca- Sea Breeze. You get some stuff you want and meet me at the front register” >She hoof bumps you and goes off to the candy isle >You go to the drinks, human soda is amazing >You pick up some of the grape soda >Fanta, or something >It doesn’t taste like grapes, its much sweeter, but damn tasty >Anon referred to it as Dank >With your liter of drank on your back, you go to the candy isle with Cadence >She’s picking out candies with nuts >You decide to get something different, things with marshmallow filling >And that sweet ass caramel filling >Awww yeah >You notice some humans eyeing you, but unlike crazy Hassan sanding, they aren’t mad or yelling >this is good >Maybe ponies are just common around here? >When you and Cadence have your stuff picked out, you look over to see if Anon is done >He’s waiting now >You dump your stuff on Cadence and run over “Anon!” >He jumps “aa Ling! What!” “I need money” >You flash a grin >“….For? And why are you in Changeling form” >He whispers that second part “Candy, and, well because I forgot” >You can feel multiple face hoofs from your brain >Anon is glaring at you and thrusts a bill with a 20 on it in your face >“Be fast” >You happily walk off back to Cadence who is slowly making her way to the counter >The pony at the cash register looks at Cadence for a moment before taking the stuff you collected and ringing it up >Neither of you say a word for fear of the pony recognizing you >She hoofs the bag over to you, wishing you a nice day >You both walk out holding your breath >And then rush back to the RV >Hood bump! “We did it!” >“Sweet Celestia I can’t believe anyone bought that” “Well I AM a boss” >You puff our your chest to maximize your swag >Not seconds later Anon throws a bag through the door into your face >Whatever the salty food in it is spills to the floor >He slams the door “WHAT THE FUCK LING” >You wince >He starts yelling at you and it makes you sad >“You shouldn’t have brought her out! What if someone caught us!” “B..but they didn’t!” >“It just takes ONE pony to get ME arrested and you put down. Then Cadence to. I RISKED MY LIFE for this shit!” >You whimper “We’re fine! It went fine. No one noticed” >“WHAT IF THEY HA-” >>in your mind he is cut off by Chrysalis “He’s pretty mad, give him something to calm him down. Anon is pretty understanding. Maybe a blow jo-” >Nope >But you don’t have anything else >>“Fine. You bought food just now. Give him something he might like” >With Anon pointing and looking at Cadence you reach into the bag >“That’s why you- what” >You hoof over an Orange that you bought >You’d give him a Banana >But Bananas are best fruit >He gets none >Anon eyes you >Then the orange >He is confused >Cadence is confused >The truckers outside are confused >The hive is laughing >Anon slowly walks out and hitches the truck back up with that same expression >SUCCESS >Heading down the road is uneventful >As it always seems to be >Cadence is sitting on the bed toying with her wing binding fur thingy >You suppose you could call or a corset >Its it doesn’t REALLY add to her features >If anything it makes her look a little fatter >You’re above her in your bunk, writing out recipes >Thankful that you have your magic, with the bumpy road, this would be impossible otherwise >With the herbs on this planet, your options are limited, however, you believe that with some luck, you could copy some things >Healing uh… >Honey >You still havnt figured out a term for your building material that isn’t disgusting >The healing honey should be easy, heck, you’ve even worked out a way to make honey like a normal human would eat >Anon may not be too willing to try that out >Maybe >Then again.. >No, don’t worry about it right now >You feel a tapping at your side >Oh its Cadence “Yeah?” You lean down >Cadence sighs some as the looks up at you >‘Whats the plan?” >She takes a bite of a candy bar “I dunno. I guess we’re going to go wherever anon goes” >Cadence nods a little and gazes out the window as the highway passing by >“This is a really big country and theres a lot to be done..I guess I’m kinda.. I dunno I just don’t know where to go now” >You chuckle turning to her “Your free, I guess you can do whatever you want. Anon seemed like he wanted to go to somewhere specific, but he didn’t say anything” >Cadence leans back down into her bed and lets out a loud sigh “Let me guess” >She eyes you “You’re bored” >“N..no” “Oh come on I do the same thing” >You grin looking down at her >“Maybe a bit” >Just as you start to get down, your walkie talkie crackles to life! >“testing, testing” >You grab it “Check” >“Okay we’re nearing a cross road. You wanna go north south or west” >You have no idea which one of these leads to which “Uh..” >You throw a wild guess into the air “West?” >Anon reports back “west it is. Off to Nashville. We might stop in the area to see some heritage stuff. “ >Cool, more history >“keep an eye on the road, if you see anything you want to see, report to me” “Rodger” >You put the walkie down and look to Cadence “I guess we’re going west” >“I can hear” >You sit down on the floor “Now what” >“Well, I suppose we could, I dunno, share stories” >That seems like a good idea “Well, I have some from my hive..” >>“Ling.. That might make her feel bad ab-” >Chrysalis is cut off by Cadences voice >“I would like that. I mean.. Up until I met you I thought Changelings wanted to kill me” >You smile a little “You sure?” >“I guess it’s the elephant in the room” >Cadence sits up in her bed turning to you >“I mean, I don’t trust you fully yet” >Fuck >Well that’s understandable >“But, I think you might just be nice” >SUCCESS >Kinda >Good enough >You start sharing stories of the hive, or more specifically how it works >Cadence sits is awe listening to you as you explain it >Surprisingly, she seems to have had no idea that you as a species had the hive mind >Or that you were so organized >In fact, she knew so little, it was refreshing >Gladly you explain every detail >Luckily she doesn’t protest, eating more candy >You drink dat grape drank >aw yis >Of course Chrysalis has to chime in, correcting things, or making you stop from telling her any secret information >There wasn’t much secret, but still, she didn’t need to know much >“So you’re a medic?” Cadence Interrupts “I am” >“That explains why I’m alive” >She glances to her leg, which is still bandages >The bloods soaked through it “Want me to fix that?” >“Yes please” >You get up to retrieve any gauze you have >You message Anon through the walkie “We’re going to need a pit stop in a few hours for more gauze and things” >“Can do. We’re stopping by somewhere I saw a sign for first” >Wat “What?” >“You’ll see” He smirks and disconnects >Okay then >Going back over to Cadence you assess the situation and how to approach this >Ultimately you go with the up front approach “Just uh, lay on your side and I’ll hand it. Lift your leg if you can” >She does so with only minor issue >when you unwrap her bandaging you find the wound is already very clean and only needs a little alcohol >The hole, which clean, doesn’t look good at all >Theres extra butterfly closures on top of the actual stitches holding everything together >Her cutie mark has been completely shaved off >You wipe her down, eliciting a gasp as the burn hits, then wrap her back up >Its REALLY awkward having to get so close to her >Mare parts >But you can handle >YOURE A DOCTOR FOR CHRYSALIS SAKE >>“Hey, I just birthed you” >When you arrive at the first pit stop, you peer out the window >AAAAAAAA OH GOD THE HORROR >wait >Its just Anon looking through the window >He waves >You sheepishly wave back “Cadence I’m going to do something you havn’t seen much of” >“Continue” she replies flatly >With a nice bright green flash of fire your body morphs its looks >You are new Fleur De Lis “I’ve been using this disguise for a while” >“Why disguise yourself?” >She looks puzzled “Because Changelings aren’t considered very pretty” >“Aw don’t be hard on yourself” >There is a tone under that which you don’t know how to feel about >You blush it off and go to the door >Opening the door shows >Him again, blocking your view >He has this stupid, corny look on his face “What did you do” >“Get candy ass out here” “Sea Breeze” You deadpan >“Whatever” >Waving Cadence on out Anon side steps to show >A gas station and a bbq joint >woopty freak- “wat” >“I KNEW YOU’D LOVE IT” >He grins and pushes you forward towards >A giant >Pink >Elephant “What in Tartarus” >Anon is grinning at you >Cadence is staring at the master piece >You just.. Don’t even “Humans are weird” >Cadence looks over “Extremely” >“Is this not corny as hell!” >Anon is way too excited over something like this >He hurries off to the near by store >The one of which the elephant is in front of seems closed >You look at Cadence >She looks at you >You rolls your eyes “I can’t believe he had us stop for this” >“These human… sculptures. I suppose, are rather strange. I saw some earlier on when we first uh.. Made contact” >You nod as you walk around the pink elephant >Probably just Anons idea of a joke >Kinda like that giant ball of yarn back in equestria >that was silly >“They enjoy these strange anomalies I think. Probably just little oddity land marks” “Seems like it” You agree >Anon gets back, the Gauze you wanted, but also a disposable camera in hand >“Hey, you two get in front of the elephant” He beams >You look to Cadence and before you can protest she yanks you into place >Even Chrysalis is surprised >Cadence gets this big grin on your face, its infections really, you can’t help but smile >Anon takes two pictures and waves at you “Okay, that’s all I wanted to do” he smirks >Cadence releases you and looks away shyly >You get a little smile and give her a gentle hug >She winces at first, but soon shares in the hug >Anon snaps another picture >Bastard >Anon grabs drinks for you all and invites you and Cadence into the cab >Of course you both agree to get in >it’s a bit of a tight fit and Cadence decides to sit between you and Anon >Bitch >But its not that bad, especially with the window down >plus now you can see the sites! >Er >There is surprisingly little >Road >And more road >So much road >Oh look a deer >Nope just road “…..This is boring” >“I guess if I turned on the radio you wouldn’t be sighing so much” Anon blurts out >His silence for the better part of the trip makes you pleasantly surprised to hear him talk >you go to turn on the radio >Cadence grabs the knob first >Bitch >She better not put on any- >... >Country >Why >The drive would be silent >But Cadence and Anon are having fun >You’re in literal hell >>“I like it” >MOM PLZ >Anon decided it would be a good idea to turn the music up >For what purpose, you can only guess >At first Cadence had winced away from his hand, but seeing him just changing the dial she eased off you and back into position >You do feel bad for her >Or you would if she wasn’t head bobbing in unison with anon >Bitch >The music is upbeat, so that’s nice, but none the less you’re not the biggest fan >Still >You prefer the ‘rock’ music and the stuff that DJ- Pon-3 makes >Those genres are nice >The ride never ends >Or at least it feels like it doesn’t, Anon seems to be able to drive for hours without much issue >You look to the clock >Cadences head bobbing has slowed >Anons has not >If Chrysalis was here you swear she would be head bobbing to >Its 5:00pm >Looking back out the window reveals you’re entering a city >You notice a sign and go to say something >Suddenly Cadence shrieks falling into you >You hiss violently as your head is shoved out the window >Cadence is letting out a strange noise >That’s a horse whiney >Anon gasps grabs the wheel tight >There is a slight swerve but he manages to pull over >“Sorry! Sorry!” >Cadence grabs her chest panting “No..my fault” she groans softly >You hiss out from behind her >She slowly looks over at you >You glare >She gets up off you “Sorry” >You groan and rubs your head “Its okay I guess, are you okay?” >Cadence nods and takes her seat again “Just.. Spooked.. Is all, I’m not used to being touched yet” >Anon and yourself look at each other >That’s very reasonable considering everything “So what was it Anon why‘re touching her!?” >“Whoa, I was just telling her about the sign!” >You grunt “Sign?” >Anon nods and points to the big billboard on the side of the road >It reads “GRAND OLE OPREY” followed by the address and distance >“We should go!” Anon grins >“What is it?” Cadence asks >You sit there in quiet listening, Chryalis seems suddenly interested in the conversation >Anon explains its sort of a music show that’s really famous around here and old >Interesting >Its country >fuck >>“Cool!” >Double fuck >Anon wants to go >Triple fuck >Cadence says that would be nice >OVER FUCKED >You sigh and hang your head in defeat “Okay, lets go” >Chrysalis seems to want it >Maybe there will be something nice! >Human food is good to! >Anon gets back on the road and is off, seeming a bit excited now >Whatever this whole opry thing is, he REALLY wants to go >Back into the beat soon enough >It only takes a few minutes before Anon pulls the truck into a little plaza with more than enough parking >All three of you hop out together >When you go to the front you see a short line >Welp >Now you wait >Anon points at the sign behind the man at the counter >There are a list of names and times, Including Charlie Daniels >“That’s a famous singer” he explains >Of course it is >“We may not be able to get tickets for tonight” >Unfortunate >>“Oh no!

This is a rescue mission” >You take a bite of your shrimp “Well, I guess we just look for any near by slaves” >She nods and leans back, drinking from her soda >“How do you suppose we get them?” >You shrug some “Depends I guess. If we seem them outside, we grab em” >Cadence nods tapping her chin >Anon looks up “Well, I mean, that would work for ponies and changeling. We watch the owners then break into the house” “Or wait till they’r outside” >“That to” he replies >Cadence listens in “Not much of a plan, but it sounds like it would work” >Damn right it would >Probably >>“Depending on which sister you find I could ask them to try to make it outside” >Hmm, that’s not a bad idea “Chrysalis says she could just tell the changeling to try to meet us somewhere” >Anon nods, but is disbelieving in it “As long as it doesn’t have a shock collar that’s viable” >Oh right, the collars “If they DO have the collar, all we have to do is get it cut” >>“Most importantly we need to work on portals” >Right “Cadence hows the magic” >You look over >Cadence is balancing a fork on her hoof trying to eat >She looks at it, then you and tries her magic >it’s a weak fizzle but the fork is lifted >then falls “Good, then by tomorrow you’ll be back to normal, er unicorn levels at least” >“I hope so” she grunts >The three of you focus on eating, But Chrysalis explains the important of the portals >If they can get portals to open, and open long enough to let a single pony through >That’ll help immensely >It also means the possibility of resistance groups >Maybe >You sip from the chowder >Its pretty clammy >a bit starchy though >Tastes good! >The three of you eat in relative peace, occasionally distracted by the beautiful fish around you >They’re pretty cool >While you’re eating your food you look around the table >Luckily theres a few couples around you, so you hone in on them >Aw yis fresh love >Tastes almost better than the coconut shrimp >Almost >You sit there feeding off the love till you over hear something >Theres someone talking to someone else >You turn your head >Two men >One is saying how his date canceled >That explains a slightly bitter taste in the air >You listen in close >He has two tickets to Charlie Daniels >Whoever his date was cancelled for some reason >He seems rather mad and is trying to sell the tickets off to the other man he’s with >A friend perhaps? >You grin >This is your opportunity >You wait for Anon to take his wallet out >When he sits it on the table, you make your move, sliding the tickets out >And make your way over to the two talking males >You smile up at them, currently in your pretty Fleur De Lis form “Hello!” >One looks down at you “Hi, uh, pony?” >He’s confused >Off to a good start “I heard you talking about your tickets” >He nods “Yeaaaah” “I wanna buy them” >He laughs right at you and turns back to the meal >Bastard >>“Use the force Ling” >You blink >>“Ling, use the magic damn it” >Oh right >Your horn gives a dull flash, followed by your eyes “Excuse me humans” >They both eye you >You meet their eyes and grin deviously “I will gladly trade your tickets. it’s a most excellent deal” >YoU wait a moment for their response >One of them looks away >FUCK “I was talking here!” >You grab his arm >He turns back to you and you cast the spell while they’re both looking at you >This time it works, their eyes glow! >You put the tickets on the table “Now, I’m going to give you THESE tickets.

Now” >You stand up and hop into Anons lap >He grunts and helps you position yourself >You shoot a shit eating grin at Cadence >She glares back at you >Within minutes some ponies and humans come on stage >You notice the ponies have long ropes >One looks a bit like that famous Cellist, uh, Octavia, but with a yellow coat and blue mane >The other is sort of a… Light aquamarineish? >Colors are strange to identify sometimes >Her aquamarine-ish colored fur and grey/black hair with a neon strip through it >It takes you a few minutes to recognize her >Er, it would if Cadence hadn’t gasped out like a school filly and grabbed you >“T..that’s Countess Colortura!” >Wat “wat” >“The pop star from home!” >You eye her closer >She’s sitting near the back on the piano with extra large keys, but you do eventually recognize her >How does a pony even play a piano >Cadence beams some at you >You nod awkwardly “yeah.. it is her.. that’s neat” >You can’t say you ever cared to listen to music back home though >>“She was better before she switched from pop” >You sit in silence, less impressed than Cadence or Chrysalis, till that is Anon taps your shoulder >He has a strained face >“You think you could uh, loose some weight?” >You huff and give a bounce >He winces >“Please?” “Fine. You shouldn’t ask a later to loose weight, its inappropriate” >“You start getting fat on me I’ll have you chase the RV” “You wouldn’t dare” >Anon grins >You hop down and hurry to the backroom >Since you plan to change form you need to be sneaky >Its not that hard with everyone watching the group on the stage playing their slow music >You personally can’t wait to get away from it >The side bathroom, behind the bouncer guy, means you don’t have to show him your tickers, thankfully, and you go into a stall >fuckin human doors >You struggle with the doorknob, not wanting to use magic and get Anon in trouble >Once in the bathroom, as soon as your hoof touches the floor you cringe >fuuuuck >You tip toe >er tip hoof >Into the stall and sit on the toilet “Uh guys. I’ve never turned into a foal” >Collective face palms >You get some suggestions on how to do it >Not THAT hard >Trying to work your biology into place is going to be a pain in the ass, and a lot of things are going to be moved around though >Followed by a suggestion of a filly named Silver spoon >Another sister says Scootaloo >Scoota-who? >Another offers up Diamond Tiara >Collective grunts >At this point you have no idea whats going on, various members of your hive going back and forth about “best filly” >What have you done >Chrysalis isn’t saying a thing, and you think you can hear her laughing under all the voices going back and forth >Your head hurts >You hear another changeling insult another’s choice of filly >The insulted one starts crying >Suddenly another blast of voices hits you >You luckily can’t feel it, but another lets out a cry as it is hit >Chrysalis lets this go on for a moment till one is hurt >She steps in finally >>“How everyone. As much as Squeaky Belle is best filly I must ask you be quiet” >Yelling >She yells >You collapse to the floor groaning and grabbing your head as there is a mental slap across many poor changeling heads >It will probably go down in history as the great Filly debate. >The horror >Chrysalis grunts loudly “Now. As I was saying. As much as we all love Sweetie belle, as she is best filly. And Lilly Long Stockings, as she is both the strongest and the shyest of adorable fillies, we must assess the situation. I THOUGHT I taught you all better.” >>“Look at her situation. Ling, you’re in a country music… uh, concert” “Correct” >>“You would want a filly who is very fitting for this place. If her personality doesn’t match, she won’t work” >A changeling chuckles “but my queen you didn’t get that princesses personality r-” >He cuts off >>‘As I was saying. Which filly do we know that would enjoy something like this. The musician Rara is also there, who would Rara be familiar with” >there is some thinking >Changeling 1337 speaks up “Well, AppleBloom, the little sister of Applejack knows Rara personally and has a country accent” >>“Good my Child.” >She sends you the mental ‘format’ for this AppleBloom >You concentrate and try to copy her >Your flame fizzles at first since it’s a new formation >But! You get it to work! >With a green flash, you are now a cute little yellow with red hair filly! “Testin, testin, One two three” >You’ve gained a fairly thick, if a bit squeaky, voice >That’ll do “Thanks everyone” >A collective of groans followed >You decide to hurry back to your seat >This time its mid band switch, no one seems to care, but you do get a couple odd looks >Returning to Anon, you look up at him “How about now?” >Anon looks down at you >“….Cute” >You blush >He grins and picks you up, resulting in your legs flailing aimlessly in the air “Agh! Hey!” >He sits you in his lap and smirks >bastard >When you look back up at the stage, you see that Rara, er, Coloratura, hasn’t moved >Cadence ignores you, seeming entranced in watching everyone on stage move around and prepare for the next act “Was that just the opening?” >“Yeah” Anon looks down at you “next SHOULD be Charlie himself” “I still don’t know who that is” >“I think you’d like him” >You roll your eyes >Wait >That must mean that the pony must work for Charlie Daniels! >If he’s as big as Anon claims she must be important here to! >That’s pretty cool >“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! CHARLIE DANIELS!” >The whole crowd erupts into clapping >Cadence claps to >Anon almost flings you out of the seat as he claps >You barely get any time to think before the old man on stage taps his fiddle one time and stars sawing >Some of the hairs on the bow immediately break >Your eyes go wide >This >This is not the country you expected https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ht-6Ez8rSlE >Coloratura gets this devious grin on her face as she joins in playing the piano part >Several people start clapping in tune >Anon taps his foot in tune >What the fuck is even happening right now >You like it >Some people stand up >Even Anon! >You fall to the ground landing with your hooves tapping the hard ground >The old man stares at you, but continues playing >Your eyes go wide and your cheeks go red >HE STEPS OVER TO YOU >OH GOD >He gets this big grin on his face “But you just park it in that chair right there and I’ll show you how its done” >You’re someone terrified but excited >“FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN RUN BOYS RUN” >Anon pats your head >“The devils in the house of the risen sun!” >You can’t help but join Anon in his little clap and giggle some >Charlie gives you another grin and keeps singing >The bow taps the violin again and he stars sawing on it to continue Johnnys part >As soon as its done he shocks you by pointing the bow at you >“Tha’s how you do it son!” >You scoot back a few inches and he moves along the stage again to continue >You’re a bit shocked but the mix of emotions through the room, excitement, love, infatuation, all sorts of good things, keeps you from being scared >You can just barely taste the emotions of Charlie over the group >He’s very very happy and excited >Anon leans down >“Told you you’d like it” >You blush and look away “N..no I don’t” >He chuckles “Sure” >You get a few minutes of rest before he does another song >Anon tells you quick before it starts its called Southern boy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVQfuG14hHk >You totally don’t like it >Nope not at all >Maybe a little >They pause between songs after that one for some introduction, he says the names of the songs he just played ‘Devil went down to Georgia and Southern boy” >Followed by some thanks >You can’t help but smile one >His bow is in pretty bad condition, but looks like it can hold out for one or two more songs >Maybe >“All right ya’ll we got one more song in here before I gotta let the next band up. So ya’ll just sit there and listen” >The next song he plays isn’t exactly expected, but its nice none the less >You see even coloraturas mood changes with the song change >But everyone on stage seems to really be enjoying it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7f7nGWPvnKw >“I ain’t nothing but a simple man” >You blink at the mood change >The music is a lot slower, but he still manages to keep the high charisma that you’re really loving so far >He also speeds up as it goes along >He also mentions something called a Bible >You aren’t exactly sure what it is, but based on the taste he’s emitting its important >The mention of a shotgun, followed by Anons ‘woo’ makes you giggle some >But what REALLY gets you and makes you choke up is a sudden mention >“No excuse for the rapen’ and the killen’ and the child abuse” >Normally you would cringe at language like that >Cadence cringes pretty hard at it >But Charlie meets your eyes again >You taste >A pretty strong mix of sympathy >You have to talk to this man >You get back to Anons lap and looks at Cadence >She’s giving you a cheeky grin >You look away >And get bopped in the head with a flying object >Anon reaches out and grabs it “Ouch what the ha-” >Anon is all giddy >He shows you what your face caught >it’s the broken bow! >Holy cow! >He sits it in your lap >“thank you so much Ling” >Anon hugs you >FUCK YEAH HUGS >You burp >When the Charlie Daniels band leaves, you notice him untie the rope on Coloratura and walk with her back stage with her >Interesting >You sit on Anons lap listening to the rest of the music >The last two bands are much different, very.. >You don’t like their style of music >Too slow, lack of enthusiasm >When all is said and done, Anon leads you outside >Cadence taps his side >“Hey, Anon, look” >Near by, behind a gate, is the Charlie Daniels tour bus >There are a few people lined up, but not many >The meet and greet WAS inside, but the line made you avoid it >This gives you an idea “Lets go Anon” >“I dunno, might be a bad idea” He looks concerned >You shake your head “Pleaaaaaaase?” >He looks down at you >You hit him with the poor puppy eyes >Cadence smiles at you then frowns at him >delicious delicious guilt >He shakes his head >“Fine” >You beam and walk fast to the bus, then hop in line >Its mostly small children and their parents >Your time comes and you step up, acting like you belong >You are met with a security guard and Charlie himself >The security guard starts ushering you away >But Charlie walks over “Now hold on Jim. They may be ponies, but they ain’t that bad” >He motions behind him to a distracted Coloratura, working on getting her makeup off >The security guard huffs and takes his seat in the drivers seat >And on something >Understandable concern >Charlie motions you over “Youre that little filly form the show. Glad your owner let you come” >You beam “He’s really nice!” >Yeah, use that cute >Anon gulps some “Hi mister Daniels” >He chuckles and shakes Anons hand “Call me Charlie. Anyone who’s a friend to ponies is a frienda mine” >You can feel him about to pass out >Spaghetti levels rising >Luckily Cadence feels it to and touches him >“So, Little un. Whats your name” “I- I’m Ling” >“nice ta meet ya. You want me to sign that bow?” >Oh yeah, you still have that >Theres also another one without strings sitting on a near by table >It peaks your interest and look at at it >He looks at it then back to you “Sorry, but that ones my favorite” >You nod with a giggle. You motion forward and Anon hands him the bow which he signs >Coloratura walks over “hello” >Cadence’s turn to act a fool “WILL YOU SIGN MY-” >She cuts off and looks around for something for her to sign >She points at the bow “OUR BOW PLEASE” >Coloratura giggles some and nods “Of course” >Taking the bow next from him you’re pleasantly surprised to see his chubby hand rub her head >You walk closer to Charlie and looks at his work station >He does his own bows >Neat >Looking over the hairs on it, you notice a distinct smell >Horse hair >No wonder it broke “Um, Mister Daniels. Sir. If you don’t mind. I’d like to give you something” >“Whats that” he hands the bow over to Coloratura who gets to work signing it with her own pen in her mouth “well, ya see..Uh” >You think “Your bow is using horse hair. That stuff breaks really easy. I think if you use pony instead it would be better” >He gives you an awkward look “Naw, I couldn’t use my ponies hair, Rawraw here don’t take kindly to anyone touching her hair” >You see her visibly shiver >Followed by a soft smile “Oh! Not that I uh.. Well mine!” >He continues his confused looks “I don’t think your tail is long enough..” “Oh trust me it is! My hair is MUCH stronger than any horse from this planet! Please trust me on this” >He wait’s a moment then turns to Coloratura “What do you think” >She nods “Its true, ours is stronger. Especially us Earth ponies” >A second of deliberation later, Charlie nods “Okay. Go back into her bedroom and get the scissors” >You beam then look at Coloratura “if you don’t mind helping me” >She chuckles and nods, walking you back >When you’re alone you sigh some “Uh, Miss Rara? Can I tell you something?” >“Of course dear” >She picks up a pair of scissors “Now. Don’t be alarmed, cause my owner already knows but I’m not a filly” >She looks at you confused “I’m a changeling” >She winces and goes for some kind of button >You grab her arm “Please, wait!” >She holds her breath staring at you, hoof inches form the button “I’m not going to hurt you I promise” >She eyes you, but who could be afraid of an adorable filly! >“Well, lets hurry then” >You nod and turn around, your tail flashes and is low your longer, black haired tail >She starts cutting it, shaking some, clearly nervous >Your tail is now firmly gone >But theres just enough for a good bow. >You sigh some and revert your form to Appleblooms >No tail edition “One more thing” >She looks at you worried “Do you like living with him?” >She laughs at that “of course. He’s a really nice human. Feeds me three meals a day, lets me play piano, even gives me my own little corner of the bus” >You look at her suspicious >A glace at her bed however confirmed this, its completely personalized >Even has a keyboard for her to practice on >She has less than 20 square feet of personal space and a curtain but still has managed to personalize her area more than you did back when you lived in a house >Fuck “Have you seen any who don’t?” >She sighs and nods “A few” >You look around and whisper “Where?” >She starts walking to the front of the bus without telling you >Shit >She hoofs the hair over to Charlie who takes a single hair and tugs hard on it >It doesn’t snap >In fact it digs into his finger >He grins some “Ya know, this would work well for this bow.” >You KNEW his stage bow broke on purpose! >Even if he doesn’t tell you >With a pat on your head, and a hoofsie from Rara >Er RAWRAW as Charlie called her, the three of you are on your way >Anon is all giddy and jumpy >Charlie hugs him on his way out >Anon breaths pretty heavy and Cadence has to help him walk >Even if she is equally excited as he is >You are elated as well, but disappointed by the lack of answers >Wait >Colortura waves at you, waving you back by yourself >You look up the stairs and >The body guard has a map >Charlie is standing there with his hand firmly pressed on Coloraturas head >You’re nervous now >But you taste no ill intention >First Charlie speaks, the body guard pointing to the map for him “Bout two miles over, we saw some pony tired to a porch. Didn’t look to healthy, real skinny, had holes in its legs.” >Oh shit nigga >Coloratura speaks up next “Remember we saw that servant one in the restaurant?” >Both men nod “Yep. There’s one on the border, looked okay, but real sad” >You nod and puff out your chest “Thank you, all of you” >The three nod in unison and give a friendly smile >Two miles over >Your first rescue is that close. And she even gave you another! Yes! >Just as you turn to leave, a hearty chuckle hits your ear >“And if you ever need a home. I got lots of bows to restring” >Too bad you currently lack a tail - >Down the road the three of you go >it’s a fairly warm night, even with the window, so you’ve taken to standing in the back >In front of you Cadence is in the passenger seat, Anon in the driver seat, and heaving towards the first of the two you were told about >A changeling >You’ve tried hard to connect, but Chrysalis said that its speaking was barely a whisper >That means it hasn’t eat love in a long time, and is on magic suppressants >Probably pony-kibble >That stuffs pure wheat >Ew >You stick your head into the window “Okay I’m going to try to focus on this. it’s a really weak signal. Anon any idea how to get her?” >“Well, Uh, I guess if she’s outside we can grab her. If she’s inside.. I dunno.” >You nod and focus hard the weak voice, and trying to get to it >The directs are broken and not very helpful “Uh, is it the blue house?” >Theres a weak ‘no’ >You knock on the roof for Anon to slow down >He slows and you hop off the truck, walking through a yard >Half way you transform back to your proper changeling form >Black stealth woo >Finally, near the main road, you find a house with a rope outside “Uh, the brown one?” >A weakened yes >Sweet >You poke your head up through the window >The living room with a man and woman watching TV in the dark “What room are you in?” >whatever it is it ends in room >So either bathroom or bedroom >With two floors you aren’t sure where to start >Bed start on the top floor >You buzz your wings and look around >Nope not the bedrooms >You buzz over to a bathroom >Not the main one >Fuck “Can you at least get out” >No response >You take it as a no and look around for an open window >You eventually find a window not fully closed >Carefully, carefully >When you have just enough room to slide in you do so >It isn’t even that hard to find the right bathroom >Its one of those half baths with enough room for her to stand and sit and use the bathroom >Bastards >When you try to slide the door you find it jammed shut > A soft VERY girly voice from the other side whispers “Ling?” “Yes its me” you whisper in turn >“oh thank goodness. The doors locked though.” >Damn it >You look around and find the lock, just a normal pad lock “Have you seen the key anyway?” >The changeling behind the door puts her hooves against it “I have no idea” >Shit >“Just break down the door” “Are you even any good to run?” >She goes silent “No..” >Of course “Then we can’t just break it down, we need to find the key” >You carefully make your way towards the nearest bedroom >It seems to be an adults >You begin the searching >You try to move fats, taking the drawers out of the night stand and so forth >No key so far >Footsteps >FUUUUUCK >You grab a jewelry box and start digging, throwing the jewels everywhere >Noth- >A scream >you got so close to >A man runs at you while a woman goes for the phone >Which you promptly hiss at her and kick the phone >You run past them, luckily with your now short tail you narrowly avoid capture and brace yourself >Face first into the sliding door >It creaks >You grunt and use your magic to grab the frame and pull >You aren’t that great at it, but you tug none the less >It starts to crack >The man is running at you from behind “Watch yourself” >You turn to face him and he gets ready to grab you >“Damn bugs!” He practically growls >You grin and side step him, putting your leg out >The man falls, making the sliding wooden door crack further and finally snap in half >Unfortunately hit trip took you with him >Right under him >Your sister screams out in surprise and hops out, trying to lift the door and help you >You struggle under him >he’s out for the count >Oh shit magics >You levitate him off and fling him into the bathroom >The man lands upside down >You see the woman coming at you and grab your sister under her foreleg >The changeling runs, though weakly, with you towards the door “CAN YOU FLY” >“MAYBE!” >She tries buzzing her wings >She yelps in pain >When you check, one is bent awkwardly >Fuck >Holding her firmly the two of you hobble-limp back to the truck, passing through the backs of some houses >Some people have come outside, but luckily you slip away into the darkness >Anon is waiting for you by the RV, truck still running >That fucking loud truck >You two wave at him and he perks up >Anon runs at you grabbing your injured sister up and carrying her up to the RV >He puts her in the back of the truck and you hop in as well >Anon jumps into the drivers seat and chuckles >“This is getting fun!” He says through the window and starts driving at a painfully casual speed, away from there >While you travel down the road you check her over >One broken wing, Extremely love deprived, both fangs removed >You wave your hoof and she holds her mouth open >yep, yanked out completely >At least you MIGHT be able to regrow yours eventually >hers are gone for good >>“LING! Did you get her!” Chrysalis chimes in >You sigh in relief “Yeah I did, but she’s not looking good. I need to get her somewhere to feed” >The changeling in front of you sighs and ever so gently hugs you >“Thanks Ling” >You smile and hug back nice and tight “Anon any love motels or anything we can stop by” >Anon spits out his coke >“L..LOVE MOTEL!?” >Cadence giggles putting her hoof to her mouth >While Anon continues to drive, you continue inspecting your sister >Luckily nothing else is wrong with her “Where’re your fangs?” >She sighs looking down “I bite his wife and.. He took pliers and..” >You sigh and hug her close >Loosing your fangs is more of a blow to ones pride than anything else >Still, it’s a hurtful idea none the less “Well, the princess of candy asses is going to help you get home okay?” >“H..home?” She looks up at you >You smile and nod “I know you can’t hear her too well, but Chrysalis is working on a spell. When Cadence gets her magic back fully, we’re going to get you home” >She smiles at the prospect >You can’t blame her >But YOU have a job to do here >But its almost time to stop for the night. And you need to help find food >When you DO eventually pull up to an RV park, which awesomely enough is on the side of a river, Anon has to get out and go talk to someone inside >You take the opportunity to go to the RV and help your sister over to the shower “When we get hooked up I’ll help you shower and fix that wing. How does that sound?” >She smiles and tries to flap her wing >Then winces painfully >The rv jerks and you’re on your way >Its easy enough for Anon to hook up a water hose to the trailer receptacle and you start up the pump >You soon learn, as you shower, this is an older changeling >One from the Canterlot invasion, Number 1156 >She’s a veteran soldier interestingly enough “How did YOU of all changelings end up here” >She looks down, the water running over her carapace and shows some cracks in it >“I was careless, let myself get caught..” >You rub the luffa over her, removing all the rest of the dirt and grime “Same as me huh.. Don’t worry. I’m sure we’ll be able to get you home soon” >When all is said and done you have one last thing that needs to get done >Fixing a broken wing >With a pony, you just put on a cast and good to go >With a changeling >Not so much >You walk outside, to find Anon sitting on the hood of the truck looking out over the river >Its dark and the moon has made a nice reflection on the river “Uh Anon” >He looks over >“Hmm?” “Do we have any super glue?” >“next to the bed” >You smile and head back inside >With super glue and a small rectangle of carboard you get to work >You put glue on the structural frame of the wings where its broken, and use the cardboard to support it >You hold it in place with your magic so as to not attach yourself to her >That would be awkward “Okay, you’re good to go!” >1156 hugs you tight >“Thanks. Lets go look for something to eat” >You nod in agreement and walk her outside >Somewhere around here is a couple >All you need to do is find them >The two of you fly beside each other, a soft buzz like two bumble bees flying around fills the air >Its very calming, especially for you “So, uh, you use the name 1156?” >She nods “…Why havnt you given yourself a name yet?” >She’s silent for a moment before sniffing >Oh fuck you brought out the water works >“My name was Shell” >You giggle some at that “Like, your carapace?” >She nods with a soft smile, but looks away >“They took that away from me and called me some other name. I never really listened. But more often than nod I was the servant girl.” >You sigh and hug her softly >It throws off your flying a little, but the wobble is worth it\ “And?” >She shakes her head hugging back “Well, I mean, whenever I got something wrong or went against orders, I was hit pretty hard. But they never really did anything more than that. One of the neighbors said something about them trying to keep up with the joneses. I don’t know who these Jones people are but they seem rich I guess. We weren’t though. They tried to look it but.. Still” >You think back to more often than not at the slave kennel how people who stroll in with a high class attitude >Only to not be able to afford the expensive slaves they wanted >Sounds about right “Why don’t I call you Shell?” >She looks at you for a moment, considering it >Going back to her old name.. >“Okay” >You smile confidently “Everything’s going to be okay” >Shell is about to respond, but taps your shoulder, pointing down >Below you is an RV with two people in it, barley visible through the window >You both land outside and listen in >Honeymooners, perfect >Normally you’d take this chance to go on a buffet feast, but you let Shell take over, since you’ve already eaten plenty today >Shell stays by the RV for a while, and you stand guard >All is well >When she is full you lead her back to Anons RV >Cadence is nearer to the water while Anon sits on the bumper watching her >She’s trying to throw rocks with her magic >Its not perfect, but getting better >Shell eyes Cadence suspiciously “I heard some of the plan. How do you know we can trust her” “She’s just as desperate as the others” >Shell looks at you, then back at Cadence, unsure about it >But she can’t say no, that would be stupid >You let Shell go inside to get some rest and walk up to Cadence >Cadence looks at you, then the rock she’s hovering in front of her “it’s a start” >Cadence nods “I’ve already missed one medicine date. I THINK the suppressants stay in your body for two days. “ “Well, when some of the sisters stopped taking theirs it took 4 days for full magical ability to come back” >“I’m an Alicorn” “true” You nod and lift up a similar sized stone, shooting it into the distance with a green spark >“By the way, whats the spell” >You go to reply but then get quiet >You were never told >>“Uh..” >Chrysalis goes quiet thinking about how to go about explaining the spell >>“Well Ling.. I suppose you could try this spell” >She rambles on about the processes and wording you barely understand >You miss a good section of it >You describe, the best you can, everything you actually caught >Cadence looks at you like you’ve tried to explain thermodynamics >With a 2nd grade education >needless to say it ends terribly and Cadence ends up sending a rock not into the lake, but instead on top of Anon >He oofs and grabs the rock tossing it at you >“Ling I order you not to fuck it up and hit me with rocks anymore” >You glare at him >He smirks >Anon knows you don’t like getting ‘orders’ >>“Ling. No! You need to get it right” >Chrysalis is yelling now >Great >>“I wouldn’t be yelling if you would do this right!” >You sigh “Fine, repeat it, slower” >This time she tries to explain >Though a tad slower >Turning to Cadence she looks at you like an alien “Okay, so focus on a portal spell” >Her horn begins to glow “Uh, now focus and..uh The Everfree forest. Imagine. In the castle of the two sisters, there is an ancient mirror. Moldy, cold, and dirty, but still standing. There is a crack down the middle” >She blinks but does so >You lift up a rock >Its hazy but a sport directly in front of starts to shift and break apart >Followed by a soft pink glow >You can hear Chrysalis straining >The physical noises must be grunts and groans, her mental equivalent is a scream >She isn’t even bothering to cover it >A crack starts to form, barely the length of a pencil >It glows brightly in the moonlight >Anon stands up looking around nervously >Through the glow you vaguely see a library >it’s a bit cartoonish, exaggerated >You quickly throw a rock >As soon as the rock goes through you hear a hiss >Its one of your sist- >A huge arch of magical energy blasts down and up from the portal >The portal breaks down with a loud crack of thunder and a bright pink and green flash of more magical energy >You’re completely blinding >Cadence lets out a loud yelp and falls back >You her her fall and reach out to grab Cadence, bringing her to the ground and under the truck woth blurry vision >Anons eyes are wide as he stares in front of him >The ground is scorched completely, the gravel broken and almost melted, the sand under it is glass and burnt >All around you a number of humans start coming out of their Rvs >Some looking not too happy >Shell comes out of the RV, which you scream to her, through your hive mind, to stay inside >Shell of course, can barely hear it and looks around >“What happened?” she walks over to Anon >Anon pants and looks over at her >“Lightening?” >…. Close enough >After Anon explains he saw some kind of lightening, the people around him murmur various things, one leans down and checks the dirt, before leaving >You help Cadence crawl out and into the RV >Her horn is slightly burnt at the end, so she lays down and rests it off >You climb into the bed >Shell gets up next to you >It feels so weird to be so close to another changeling after all this time >Yet feels so good >Maybe you should start working on customizing your area of the trailer again >When morning comes about, Anon is awake with Cadence, together they are looking at the hole in the ground >Approaching them rewards you with a proper look at the hole >It looks exactly like an overpowered lightening strike >Anon was inches from death “Wow” >You laugh as you come up beside Cadence >Cadence looks over at you >“This is something else. How’s chrysalis holding up?” “She’s sleeping in, you two okay?” >Anon nods >“yeah we’re good. My shirts ruined” >You laugh >Theres a big black mark across the front of his shirt from the head >And he’s missing a small bit of his eyebrow >“Lets get going” He followed up with >You can’t help but agree >You and Cadence pile up into the RV >Shell is still sleeping even through the hook up on getting on the road >She DOES eventually wake up when Anon stops after a while to buy breakfast >Mcdonalds pancakes for everyone! >You all pile out to the concrete tables in front of the store >A number of people are staring >Not that you give a fuck >Its gonna be a good day you can feel it >Of course you are interrupted mid eating >>“When do you think Cadence will be ready for more?” “I dunno maybe later?” >The group looks up at you >Shell is all sleepy and ignoring you, eating her pancakes slowly “Uh, Sea Breeze, How are you feeling?” >“Much better I need to polish my horn though” She touches it and soot rubs off the tip >You nod and munch away >It doesn’t take Long for Anon to be ready to go >Instead of going into the RV, this time you and Shell are roped up in the back of the truck >Theres no law, currently, on having a pony ride in the back of a truck, so why not >The two of you are roped in by your waists, for safety, but can lay down or move around with little issue >of course most of the time is spent talking to Anon and Cadence about last night >Cadence believes she can do it this time >You’re hoping for the best >Eventually you bring up an uncomfortable subject “Anon what about the mob?” >He cranes his head to look at you >“mob?” “Yeah the ones we uh… got Cadence from” >Shell is staring at you shocked >Anon grips the steering wheel >You cower down a little, knowing you brought up a sore ‘lets not talk about it’ subject “Do you think they’ll come back for her?” >Anon shakes his head >“No. And even if they do they won’t be shit. That mob was in the news a few years ago” >You head tilt and stick your head in the window to listen >“They got found out selling cocaine. The police took them down. Ended up finding a bunch of the bosses and putting them all out of business. Honestly I’m surprised we even saw them at all. But I guess it makes sense” >You nod a little >“That was his home town. ” >Ohhh >Now you understand >Sad to have killed the old man >But what they did to Cadence was inhuman >Anon looks back at you >“Were was that restaurant we need to find?” “He said near the border. We’ll find a pony who looks well off but isn’t” >Anon thinks and pulls out his phone >He nods and thinks, having cadence pull out the map >Based on Charlie Daniels tour schedule, he just came from Memphis >Its also on a border >THAT has to be the border he meant >You stick your head closer through the window to see >Its some distance but not all that far >New destination found! Only 2 more hours! >Some time into the ride >You don’t know, you fell asleep >Anon takes a left going down a highway >it’s a bit backwoods, but when you turn around to talk to him and see what he’s doing, you see him and Cadence looking intently at a map >Cadence has a magnifying glass haphazardly taped to her horn so she can hold the map and look at the small side roads “Where are we going?” >Anon points at a large green section on the map >“Theres a wildlife refuge here, I figured if we can find one of the backroads into it, we can practice Cadences spell there” “Is it fairly private?” >Anon shrugs >“no idea. Probably is” >You look at him with a deadpan face “You don’t even know” >“Well, it’s a wild life refuge. So we might see a hunter, but that would probably be it” >Not long down the road there is a small gravel side road >Anon flips on his blinker, luckily the gate is open >“This is it. Hold on tight” >Cadence puts the map down >You tie yourself down >Shell is already laying down >Shit you forgot to put the glassware down >thank goodness Anon can’t hear the RV from inside the truck >You can only imagine the chaos inside it as you drive down the bumpy gravel road >On either side of the road are nothing but trees and you can hear a river >A good chunk of the area is actually a little on the swampy side to >Soon you reach a small clearing on your left with a fence around it >The fence seems to have been broken, so Anon uses this for his spot >Pulling into it and using it to turn around, Anon blocks off the way in with his truck and hops out >“Okay Cadence lets try this again” >Cadence gets out on the other side and takes the magnifying glass off her horn >She looks around “This is the site of one of the small portals” >Anon blinks looking at the three of you >You shrug having no idea >Cadence approaches an area that seems to be several feet in diameter, maybe, 10 feet all together with a burn in the middle that never seems to have gotten any better >You also feel a surge of energy in your horn >It tingles >Shell is feeling it to, she’s looking around the area “Cadence. You said a small portal. How small?” >Cadence uses a stick to poke at the small burn in the ground >“Well, I don’t know, we didn’t keep track of all the portals, but I think this is the one that opened near Everfree. One of Fluttershys animals had went missing and well, we believe it went through a portal. Couldn’t have been bigger than maybe, a foot?” “Wow.. You’re telling me a portal that small did this?” >Cadence turns to Anon >Anon nods “Well two towns were wiped off the map from one portal opening” >oh right >You had entered that portal >When you came out the other side >You shutter to even think about it “Wait, then whats stopping this from happening again!?” >Cadence can’t help but laugh, though Anon seems concerned as you are now that the negative potential has been brought up >Shell looks at you nervously and touched your shoulder >“Ling, the portals were opened by accident. Theres a difference between explosive magic and controlled magic” “How so?” >You get the idea >The details confuse you >“Well, for one, when the portal opened. It was a combination f magic uses and chaos magic. And for two. Moving magical energy is like moving water. If you release it all at once its uncontrolled, and damaging. Releasing it slowly is more controlled and avoids..” >Cadence thinks >Anon points out “When you empty a dammed up area. You do it slowly. If you do it fast you risk serious injuries and damage to the area” >You look at Anon >Anon shrugs “I think, I’m not a magician so I don’t understand all this” >He walks over to you and leans down, giving you a hug >You hug back tightly, making him grunt >“I’m sure it will be fine” “I hope..” >Cadence moves to the crater and stands in the middle of it >You sit on the airstreams bumper with Anon >Shell on the ground >Before you get started you concentrate telling Chrysalis its time to try again >She’s ready within seconds and you give Cadence the okay >Anon wraps his arm around you and you smile kindly at him “You had to of known about this” >“Nope, no idea” he chuckles >You roll your eyes at him and bop him on the nose >Anon goes cross eyed before booping you >You gasp and hop back “L..lewd!” >He smirks and leans into the back of the RV with a smile >You hiss and look away >Totally not stubborn just >Offended >or something >A few feet away Cadences horn is glowing brightly, much brighter than last night. You take this as a good sign and look around for a rock >Instead Anon hands you a bolt >“Its dangerous to go alone Stalker. Take this” “….what?” >“Uh.. One of these days I’ll explain it” “Riiiiiiight” >The two of you sit in awkward silence as Cadence starts to create a disturbance in the fabric of the universe itself >Its pretty >It doesn’t take long for Cadence to start straining >The barrier, thin as it is, between universes starts to open >Again using the old mirror as a conduit >You see, hazy, on the other side a changeling, you call out to it >It turns its head and looks into the mirror and gasps out, waving happily >You hold up the bolt and motion >Whichever sister that is nods and holds her hooves at the ready >>“You ready?” Chrysalis asks >A changeling yells “yeah!” >>“Not you, Ling” “yeah I am” >>“Now!” >You throw the bolt >Anon grabs you preparing for the worst >there is a metallic cracking then a yelp >Cadence bites her lip, trying to keep the portal up >In your mind you hear a changeling telling everyone that the bolt made it! >Yes! “It worked! It worked!” >Shells wings buzz and gasps out, hopping up “yes!” >Anon squeezes you excitedly >Of course there is one other matter, as the portal expands to be big enough for a pony “Whos going to go through?” >No one speaks up >You sure as hell arnt >Cadence cant >You look at shell expectantly >She gulps and stands up >“I hope to the queen this goes well >She approaches the portal and takes very careful steps into it >The entire hive is holding its breath nervously >Anon grips you tight - >You are holding you breath tight, a trickle of sweat dripping down your black smooth brow >Cadence is sweating to, her cheeks puffed out, and a portal formed >You can feel Chrysalis in the hive, breathing heavily >She’s terrified >The entire hive is completely silent >Its very rare for that >Even Anon is gripping you to his chest, leaning forward, staring as Shell disappears into the portal >She’s half way, moving slowly >Her front half is in equestria >Your home >The other half is here, on Earth, Ass in front of Cadence >Suddenly there is a bright flash >You flinch >Cadence screams >Chrysalis screams >Anon screams >You can’t tell whos was more girly >There is a loud snap, nothing like that from the RV park, more of skin on skin slapping at high speed >It makes your ears ring >You see Cadence fall back screaming and kicking at something >Followed by a bright flash that makes you cover your eyes >Chrysalis starts screaming orders >You can’t make them out, but there is a sudden panic >Anon jumps up, throwing you to the ground and runs over >Something hairy flies your way >Your eyes go wide with horror as it lands on your face with a wet slap >You grab it and stare, gagging some >it’s a tail >Not just hairs, but all the way to the base >When you look over at cadence she has green on her and now you realize you smell burnt blood >You immediately think the worst in the panic >She couldn’t have exploded >Could she? ----------- Continued at http://pastebin.com/BHjCS9zu
