- >Tonight was the night.
- >You had to pull many strings in order to get this to work, but Princess Luna ultimately agreed to help.
- >Laying in bed, you wonder how you got your life to this very moment.
- >It all started with speed dating, when you thought you met the special somepony of your dreams.
- >She was beautiful, if not a little boring, but the two of you fit perfectly in hoof and hand.
- >Months passed, but eventually something seemed to be troubling your marefriend.
- >After a near perfect evening, she stared at the floor and changed your life.
- >"Anon... I need to come clean about something."
- "What's up? You can tell me anything darling..."
- >You held her in your arms, as she looked up to you.
- >"Promise that you won't be mad, or scream."
- >You gave her the warmest smile you could muster, directly from your heart.
- "Nothing that you could say could change my love for you."
- >She looked to the floor, with worry written across her face.
- >Slowly, green fire began to appear on her body as she slowly transformed into a black buglike pony.
- >You watched in awe, as she refused to look at you.
- >"My name... is Chrysalis... I'm the queen of the Changeling Empire."
- >"I came to Equestria to try and find food for my subjects, but I found so much more..."
- >She looked up to you, directly into your eyes.
- >"I really love you Anon... but I can't stay here... I want to, but I can't."
- >"I'm so sorry I'm just showing you who I really am, but I promise that deep down I'm the same mare that you love."
- >When she looked into your eyes, you wondered whether you could forgive her for lying to you.
- >But, you already knew the answer when she looked into your eyes and you saw the same pony you grew to love.
- >Now, months after that day, you couldn't be in the Changeling Empire and she couldn't be here due to Celestia's Laws.
- >However, tonight, Luna was going to connect you two via dreams.
- >She said she would do it this evening and then discuss with her sister the possibility of future arrangements on holidays and special events.
- >You pop two sleeping pills and close your eyes.
- >You are in your room, and there are candles lit everywhere.
- >Scanning the room, you see that you are not alone under the covers, as the changeling of your dreams smiles at you.
- >The two of you wrap your arms around each other and hold each other close.
- "It's been too long Chrissy."
- >"You have no idea how long I've wanted to hear you say that."
- >As the two of you spoon in your bed, you catch up on everything that happened while the two of you were apart.
- >You plant kisses on the back of her neck that make her giggle, and she holds your hands in her hooves.
- >You run your hands through her hair as you whisper sweet nothings into her ear.
- >"I'm thinking we should celebrate."
- "Oh? Why's that?" You say in a soothing tone.
- >She turns to you with excitement in her eyes.
- >"I found a way to let you stay with me in my Empire."
- >She smiles and giggles.
- >"You can be my king."
- >The warmth in your chest bubbles over, and liquid pride forms in your eyes.
- "Thats... amazing news."
- >You look into her eyes as visions of growing old together flash before your eyes.
- "Yes! We should celebrate.... this is unbelievable."
- >"I have just the idea..."
- >A small flash of white light erupts from under the bed.
- >Chrissy is covered in lacy lingerie, and is wearing her bedroom eyes.
- >"This IS a dream...
- >She slowly moves herself on top of you, and presses her lips to your ear.
- >"Which means we can do anything we want."
- >You caress her face with your hand, and you put on a sultry voice.
- "I like the way you think babe."
- >Your lips lock and your tongues begin to perform a forbidden dance.
- >She presses a hoof to your chest, and your shirt disappears.
- >You move some of her hair behind her ear so you can get a better look at her beautiful face.
- >Suddenly an invisible punch to the face causes you to lose your breath.
- >"Are you okay sweetie?" She says looking down to you concerned.
- "Yeah... I'm fine... lets just-"
- >Another deep blow causes you to cry out in pain.
- >And another, and another.
- >Their pattern becomes rhythmic and predictable.
- >Chrysalis looks to you worried, wondering if it was something she did.
- >Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang.
- >The room goes dark.
- >*BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!*
- >The light of day fills your eyes as you wake up in your own bed.
- >Turning to the side, your heart falls when your love was not there.
- >Grabbing the alarm clock, you chuck it at the wall in pure rage, causing it to shatter around the room.
- >You lay in bed, looking at the space where she was with you, as disappointment fills your soul.
- >The dream was so real, so convincing.
- >With a heavy sigh, you get out of bed and decide to begin your day.
- >But, one thing keeps pushing you forward today.
- >The promise of a day when what you dreamed would become a daily reality.
