Anon and Chrysalis Ch 07 - Act 1

The Marvellous Mishaps of Anon and Chrysalis

Chapter 7: Electric Electric Electric: The Movie

Act 1: Electric Electricity Dances Boogaloo 2

 

>A few days had passed since Celestia's decree. As the news spread, much of Equestria took it as 'victory over the Changeling menace' though in reality that was absolute bullshit.

>The Changelings that had been found throughout the various cities of Equestria had mostly returned to the Hives, though not all.

>Turned out the mayor of Manehatten had been a Changeling all along. You could imagine their face when.

>There was apparently going to be an emergency election there to try and replace him. Who knew what would happen.

>You sigh, leaning back in your armchair. Your home had been repaired and you had been watching TV.

>Chrysalis however, would have none of that. She walks up to you, nuzzling your face. God damnit Chrysalis.

>You raise a hand, putting it between your heads. You turn to her. She smiles, "What's wrong, Anonymous? I thought you liked to hug me." She pouts.

>Every time with this mare. You were almost upset at Celestia.

>She shimmers and takes up her false form. She hops up into your lap and sits on you. She leans back into you, looking at your TV.

>You sigh. Every day with this shit...

>She knew how much you disliked this.

 

>Ditto walks in at a perfect time. Chrysalis is giving you a duckface/bedroom eyes combo. He raises an eyebrow at this. "I was not aware human mating rituals were so public..."

>You glare at Chrysalis who giggles. She glances at Ditto, "I'm just playing with Anonymous here."

>You roll pick her up and dump her in front of you. She yelps as she hits the ground. She glares up at you. You smile down at her.

>Ditto frowns and helps his Queen up. She returns to her normal state and turns back to you. She was blocking your view of the TV. Again.

>"So Anonymous what shall we do today?" You try to look past her. Your sports man. Your sports.

>She glares at you, "You can watch your stupid Poker tournament later. Right now it's time for quality time with your friend, Chrysalis!"

>You look up at her, "Chrys, poker is my life. I need to see this. Please move."

>She scoffs, "Ha! Poker is a foal's game. Let me know when you have something worthy of my time!"

>She storms off, head in the air.

>Ditto glances between you and her, then follows her out.

>She could not comprehend the true form of the fucks you didn't give.

 

>An hour later there is a knock on your door. You sigh.

>Your days had slowly shifted back into their normal routine. Which meant your daily dose of Fluttershy and Applejack.

>At least the doctors would keep away.

>You sigh and rise, but Ditto is at your door first. You sit back down. Better him than you; your tournament was in the last rounds.

>You hear Fluttershy squeak as the door opens. "Oh... Ditto... Hi..." Ditto sighs.

>"Fluttershy, what exactly do you want?"

>A pause. "Is Anon here?" You subconsciously shake your head, though he can't see that.

>"Perhaps. What is it you wanted?"

>She mumbles something out that you miss. Ditto can't believe this shit is still going on and exasperated, asks, "What was that?"

>"I um... Wanted to give him this." Shuffling. She probably took out some drugged gift.

>Ditto grunts, "I'll make sure he gets it."

>"Oh Thank you Ditto. And um... Sorry about befor-"

>Slam. Haha, that's what she gets.

>...You felt bad for that one. But whatever.

 

>Ditto walks in, sitting on your couch. Still small as fuck.

>He magically opens the gift, looking at it. It's some sort of sweater.

>Hoof knitted. Must have taken fucking forever to make. You turn to Ditto for a second; your show is on commercial break so you have a second.

"Pass it here. I'll keep that one."

>He raises an eyebrow, but floats it over. Sure, why not? You can use more winter clothing.

>You settle back into your show as the commercial ends

>However the powers that be would make sure you miss the end, as just then Rainbro Dash burst in through a window landing in front of you.

>"Hey Anon! Hey Ditto! What's up?"

>You point at your TV. She blinks, and moves. At least she was a bro.

>"Heh, sorry. So you'll never guess what Pinkie just told me about!"

"No, I probably won't. Enlighten us."

>She smiles, laughing a bit, "Well, Pinkie's been asked to throw a huuuge party out of town! And she wants us, you included, to come help her!"

>You raise an eyebrow at her. [spoiler][/spoiler]"Is that a fact?"

>Ditto shrinks away a bit. After you had told him what he did with Pinkie he had been specifically avoiding her whenever possible. As a strategist, he was rather good at it.

 

"Well Rainbro, seems fun, I guess. Who's the party for?"

>Rainbro shrugs, "I'm not actually sure. She says she'll tell us when we get there."

>Oh good. Surprises.

"Do you think they will be keen on the world's only human and two Changelings being there too? She realizes Chrys and Ditto here have to come with me, right?"

>She blinks, thinking it over. "You're a great guy Anon. It'll be fine."

>You shrug and turn back to your show. Looks like you'd see the end yet.

>Unfortunately the player you were rooting for went full retard and lost, but whatever.

>Within the hour you, Chrysalis and Ditto were at Sugarcube Corner. You see how tense Ditto is.

>You take a seal in one of the booths. All the adjacent booth's quickly empty. Chrysalis frowns at this but says nothing. This always happened.

>Soon enough Twilight and the others of the main 6 had gathered. The only p0ny who was missing was Pinkie.

>Which was weird, as she's the one who called you all here in the first place.

>"Howdy partner." Applejack gives Chrysalis a sideways glance. "I see you've brought your friends."

"Yes, Applejack. And I see you brought your ass."

 

>She glares at you, but Pinkie's arrival stops any build-up. "Hiya everyp0ny!"

>She winks at Ditto, who shudders.

>"Thank you all for coming! You see this party is extremely important!"

>She grabs a map out of her saddlebags, placing it on the booth table. It's a tight squeeze, but everyone manages to get in.

>You aren't sure you like Fluttershy and Applejack being beside you.

>Or Twilight and Chrysalis being beside each other.

>But it was party time, damnit.

>Twilight starts the discussion off, "So, Pinkie. Who exactly is this party for."

>Pinkie glances about, eyes narrowed. Who she was looking for you had no idea. This was Pinkie after all.

>"It's important we keep this on the down low. The party is for..."

>She takes in a deep breath. Everyp0ny leans in.

>"My dad."

 

>Her dad? What was the issue with that?

>You glance about; /everyp0ny/ is sharing your remark. Chrysalis is the first to call her out:

>"I do not see the issue. Is your father opposed to parties?"

>Pinkie shakes her head. Rarity ponders this, "Perhaps it is supposed to be a surprise party?"

>Pinkie nods her head. Oh. That made sense. But why the secrecy.

>"My dad is really reaaally good at finding out secrets. That's why I need your help! I can't actually plan the party myself because he'll find out. I need you all to do it."

>She smiles uneasily as this fact sinks in. If you were a mightier being you might just call her on her bullshit and leave, but you were just a man.

>And a man is naught but a pile of secrets. A pitiful one at that.

>"I see." Everyone turns to Ditto, who activated his supreme commander face. "Then we will need to plan accordingly. I shall take command."

>Twilight frowns at him, "What? No no no. I've read up on this sort of thing. I'll lead the planning."

>Ditto raises an eyebrow, "You lack qualifications and experience. You are unfit to lead."

>Her face shows but a fragment of the offense she takes to that one. "Unfit to lead? I've lead tonnes of things in the last year! What have /you/ lead?"

>Ditto narrows his eyes, "I am the supreme commander of the Changeling Army. All I do is lead. You are a librarian."

>Twilight growls at him. Chrysalis' horn briefly glows and in a flash, she switches position with Ditto.

 

>A pull from Pinkie prevents Twilight from lunging at the officer, who raises a shield pre-emptively. He looks back at his Queen. Her face clearly communicates she doesn't give a fuck.

"Look, why not just work together? We give everyone a task and they do it. It's not that complicated."

>Applejack and Fluttershy nod, "That sounds like a mighty fine idea Anon." She smiles up at you.

>You couldn't tell if she is just bullshitting you or if she actually supports you. Whatever.

>"Y-Yes! We should listen to Anonymous."

>Rainbro rolls her eyes at Fluttershy. She leans back into her seat, sighing. "Shouldn't we first of all worry about getting to him? I figured that was why you brought out this map?"

>Pinkie blinks, slowly turning to her map. "Oh. Yeah. Yeah!"

>She points to the south, to a place called Stone Falls. Oh, that place.

>"This is where I grew up. My dad owns a really big rock farm here, and that's where we're going!"

>You raise an eyebrow at her, [spoiler][/spoiler]"A rock farm?"

>He nods, "Yep! We grew all sorts of rocks! Basalt is our biggest export!"

>Everyone stares at Pinkie. Her smile doesn't waver in the slightest.

>Applejack blinks. "Ah always figured ya'll were just making that up..."

>Pinkie raises an eyebrow. "Making it up? Why would I do that silly?"

>Who knows Pinkie. Who knows.

 

>As the sun rises the next day, you quickly rise out of bed.

>After a long debate at Sugarcube Corner, a plan had been determined. But first, you had to actually get to 'Stone Falls'

>You finish up with packing; you will be there a few days to set up and whatnot.

>You sigh. As your cooking skills were 'better than Rainbow's' you were to work with Applejack on the cake and other food. Chrysalis would at least be there to fend her off.

>Maybe.

>You throw a few outfits into a suitcase Rarity had given you some time ago. Back then you never thought you'd need it. You didn't exactly travel much.

>You sigh, placing your Suitcase by the door. May as well throw together some food before you left.

>You put together a pair of egg sandwiches. You bite into it, enjoying it thoroughly. You consider patenting your glorious creation; no one could know your secrets.

>Hearing a yawn, you turn to see Chrysalis enter the kitchen from behind you. "Good morning Anon."

>Her horn glows a dim green and her sandwich floats over to her. She sits beside you.

>You look at her expectantly. She blinks. "Hm? What is it?"

>You point to the sandwich. She rolls her eyes, "Oh yes. Thank you."

>By the time you finish, Ditto had joined you at your table.

>You admire it's marble surface. It was much better than the old one that Luna had destroyed.

 

>Within the hour you left for the Train station. The others would meet you there

>Standing around, you look at your tickets that Pinkie gave you.

>"Anonymous? Oh hi!"

>You look up to see Lyra. And Bonbon. Oh boy, here we go.

"Hi Lyra. What's up?"

>Bonbon keeps maintains a dangerous stare. She wasn't Bonbon the Destroyer for nothing.

>Lyra smiles at you, "Oh not much. I've been doing some more digging into magic and while Cadance can't get me hands, I know somep0ny who might!"

>You frown. Luna, maybe?

>She turns to Chrysalis who had donned her disguise. As her presence fucked over all industry, lowered the value of homes and made babies cry. Chrysalis raises an eyebrow at this

>Lyra smiles nervously, "Uh... Queen Chrysalis? Would you be able to give me hands?"

>She frowns at her, placing a hoof on her chin. "Hm. You mean like this?"

>Her hoof flickers, becoming a copy of one of your hands. Lyra gasps, grin widening.

>It changes back.

>"I assure you Lyra, it is not worth it in way shape or form." Bonbon smiles at Chrysalis. Somep0ny finally shared her beliefs.

>"Are you sure? I heard they are great in bed. Bonbon here has been complai-"

>Bonbon smacks her in the face, blushing furiously. "Ignore her. She's insane. I'll take her to an asylum right away!" She begins to push Lyra along. She smiles sheepishly at you as she vacates the premises.

>You weren't sure if you want Lyra to touch your hands ever again.

 

>Eventually everyp0ny arrived at the train station. Just in time too; the train came with them.

>You get on board, staff eyeing Chrysalis and Ditto suspiciously. A glare from Rainbow is all it takes for them to back off, however.

>Rainbro is clearly working in overdrive. And for good reason.

>Pinkie had explained that it was almost impossible to get her dad to smile. Rainbro and Twilight's job was to get the entertainment. She had her work cut out for her.

>Your job was arguably the easiest job. Make food that wasn't god awful. While you are an alright cook, you expect Applejack will do most of the work. She /had/ made the food for a god damn royal wedding. Surely she knew some good recipes.

>You swear though, if she starts shit...

>You sigh, shaking your head. You room on the train was fairly cozy. Ditto is in the bunk above you, Chrysalis across and Rainbro above her. The next room had the other mares, plus Spike. Poor Spike. Surrounded by mares he'd never have.

>Except maybe Rarity. You weren't actually sure what sort of relationship those two had. It was almost creepy.

>Then again, most dragon x pony relationships were.

>"So, Anonymous. Any meal ideas? I'm curious to see what you can come up with."

>You shrug at Chrysalis. [spoiler][/spoiler]"Honestly, I'm not much of a baker. I'll probably let Applejack take command."

>She frowns at this. Above her Rainbro sighs, "As long as you don't let her push you around. Trust me, she's all bark and no bite."

>You roll your eyes. It's not like you could actually attack Applejack and hope to win.

>...Right?

 

>As the train continued on it's merry way to Celestia (and Pinkie) knows where, you realized you were hungry. Your breakfast was clearly insufficient.

>You get up, and head to the dining cart. Ditto comes with you, as Rainbro was out cold.

>Apparently she and Snowflake (though you, and many others, called him 'Roid Rage') had started doing some heavy duty training. Wore her out like nothing else.

>Chrysalis wasn't hungry and stayed where she sat. Oh well. Not my problem.

>Arriving you see a handful of the other mares are around too. Applejack is trying some apple fritters they had. She bites into one as you pass.

>"Hm. Ah've had better." She looks up from her plate, spotting you. "Oh howdy Anon! Here for some food?"

>You nod and continue past. She gets up and follows you to the table. Ditto positions himself between the two of you.

>At this rate you might have a contender for bro of the year.

>You mouth a few varieties of Ditto's name to determine what would be best if he were elevated. You're torn between Ditbro and Broto. Hm.

>You are so caught up in your philosophical constructs that you don’t even notice Fluttershy in front of you. You bump into her, the plate she was holding in her mouth dropping. It clatters on the floor, but no food falls outside.

"Oh Fluttershy, sorry about that."

>You reach down and get her food. No need to be a prick. Even if she was.

>She blushes as you hand her the plate. "Thank you Anon." She smiles as she takes it and trots off to a seat to eat.

>"Y'all sure are being mighty friendly to Fluttershy there Anon. Ah figured y'all didn't like her like that."

"If by that you mean as a low level friend, then yes I do. Otherwise, haha no. Now, did you need something? Or are you just waiting for a moment to jump me?"

>She glares at you dangerously, "Y'all are treading a dangerous line Anon..."

>She storms off. Fucks given: Zero.

 

>You grab yourself some fritters. May as well spite Applejack some more. Bitch deserved it after everything she had put you through.

>You also grab a bowl of salad. You sit down beside Ditto. You glance at his platter.

>Some bread. A lot of bread actually. And a beer. A strange combination but you've seen worse-

>Wait, what? A beer. Oh shit bro what are you doing.

"Ditto? You realize that's an alcoholic beverage, correct?"

>He nods, "I am aware."

>You glance around to check if anyone is listening in. There is no one. Maybe. You lean in closer,

"Ditto, you know what happens when you get drunk..."

>He nods, "That is correct. And it is a serious problem."

"So how is drinking alcoholic beverages going to do anything good?"

>"I have done some research on the effects of alcohol. Drinking on an empty stomach causes symptoms to come on sooner. So I will fill up on this bread first." He gestures to it. "After words I will slowly attune myself to the effects and conquer them. Thus, I will no longer be able to be completely disabled from the smallest bit of alcohol."

"And why do you believe this a good idea?"

>"I am a rather high ranking official. If a potential enemy would threaten the Queen, I cannot allow myself to be so easily removed. It is a matter of national security that I cease being a lightweight, as you call it."

>You nod slowly, taking it in. You guess that makes sense, but still. This entire fucking train was full of mares. Bar the conductor, that is. And he stayed up front anyhow.

"Well if you're sure you'll be fine..."

>"If anything happens, you will be here to protect me. I am confident in that much."

>You didn't like the sound of that. Guess you'd have to be a bro yourself this time.

 

>Halfway through his beer, Ditto was already swaying in his seat.

>You pick up the bottle, moving it away from him.

"I think you've had enough, Ditto."

>"Fuck no! I am able to continue! Give me my beer!" He lets out an annoying whine of sorts. Everyp0ny in the car who wasn't looking already was now.

>Luckily only the Main 6 were here with you. If this had been a standard train though...

>You shudder. God damn it all, Ditto.

>Ditto eventually stops his relentless assault of noise and pouts. It's almost cute. Almost.

>You smile down at him. [spoiler][/spoiler]"Cheer up, Ditto. You've improved greatly from the first time. You had what, a single shot and passed out?"

>You laugh, but he doesn't cheer up in the slightest. You frown, hearing hoof steps approach you.

>You spot Pinkie walk up beside the booth you're in, "Hiya Anon! Hiya Ditto! Got room for one more?"

>You notice the massive tray of sweets Pinkie was carrying on her back.

>Looking at Ditto, you see no sign of objection. He was actually smiling at her, "Sure, go ahead." He shuffles over, falling onto his side. He quickly gets up.

>"I meant to do that."

>You roll your eyes as you take Pinkie's tray. She gets into the newly opened space and you place the tray in front of her.

>She quickly gets to it. You watch in awe as she annihilates the food platter.

>You don't even notice Ditto slowly moving closer to her...

 

>Ditto puts a hole encrusted hoof on her hind leg. Pinkie was sitting like you or Lyra while she ate.

>She stops at his touch, turning to face him. "Oh hey Ditto? You hungry too?"

>Ditto lazily nods his head, "I can eat."

>You weren't sure you liked where this was going...

>"Well go ahead, take anything you want." She giggles marvelling at all the food she had, "I probably took too much anyway..."

>Ditto nods, his horn glowing. You note that the glow flickers occasionally.

>You had seen Twilight drunk once. Absurd antics aside, she also had difficulty with magic while inebriated. Some things were clearly universal, you conclude.

>He floats an ice cream sundae to himself, followed by a slice of pie.

>Oh shit the symbolism.

>Pinkie giggles again. "Ooh, nice choice. She flutters her eyes at him. He blinks absently. His mind clearly was somewhere else.

>Pinkie chomps down a couple tarts, downing it with some soda. Jeez she doesn't stop.

>Ditto takes a slow, sensual bite of his pie, savouring every bit. Pinkie blushes as licks his fangs clean. What the fuck?

>"Oh Ditto, you're so silly. That's not how you eat pie!"

>She picks up (somehow) the pie, slamming it down Ditto's throat. He chokes a little, but gets it down.

>She grins wildly at him, "I've got more pie if you'd like."

>Ditto smiles back at her, "Yes... I'd like some more pie..."

>The two lean in closer

 

>You clear your throat. Pinkie turns to you, but Ditto seems oblivious. He ends up planting a kiss into Pinkie's cheek instead of her lips.

>You weren't sure that was much better.

"Pinkie, Ditto asked me to keep him from doing stupid shit while he is drunk. He's kind of drunk right now."

>Pinkie frowns at you, "But I'm not 'stupid shit' anon. I'm Pinkie! And Ditto is the one dropping all the moves. If that's not consent I don't know what is."

>She pushes Ditto off of her without looking from you. She crosses her hooves upset.

"Look, he's not really supposed to be having sex with you guys anyway. That time was an accident. I should of gone with him."

>"An accident anon? That night was wonderful! You wouldn't understand."

>She sighs, turning to Ditto. She glances at you, sighing again.

"How about once he's sobered up you talk with him? Perhaps he might fall for your uh... Pinkie Pie charm without being a complete slobbering mess."

>She smiles faintly, "Maybe."

>She turns her eyes back to him. Looking down, she blushes slightly. She giggles, poking him... somewhere. Ditto tries to kiss her again, but Pinkie had already bounce away.

>Looking back you hear her call out, "Let him have the food if he wants! I'm done for tonight!"

>You look at the platter. Ugh.

>She's eaten at least part of everything there. Nothing you'd want. You let Ditto have some.

>Better someone eats it.

 

>Eventually Ditto passed out. You were mildly impressed at how much of the platter he had gotten through. Applejack even cheered him on, though you didn't like how close she was sitting to you.

>But alas, such fun times were done. As night fell on the train you eventually decide to get some sleep.

>You sling Ditto over your should like before. This time it though his head was facing where you were going, not away.

>It would be too awkward to walk into a room with Ditto's ass beside your head. The conclusions that could be drawn...

>Entering the passenger cabin you are stopped by Fluttershy. She glances up at you nervously.

>You wondered how much of her behaviour was her actually being shy and not just her trying to get you with meekness. You admit you had a slight soft spot for girls like that.

>But the whole 'not even human' thing was a much bigger issue. Say neigh to horses!

>"Hello Anonymous." She looks to your shoulder, "...Oh... What happened to Ditto?"

"He passed out. Alcohol pretty much fries changeling's mental processes. It's actually pretty worrisome, since he's trying to make himself immune."

>She nods, "Oh yes. That's quite bad."

>She looks away meekly. Hmph. What was she plotting this time?

>"Well, I wish him good luck." She sighs and gets out of your way.

>You walk past into your room. You climb up the ladder slightly (how did ponies even manage this shit?) and toss Ditto into his bed. He doesn't awake.

>You sit on your mattress. Raising your head you spot Chrysalis.

>She's leaning back. There's an empty bottle of red wine on the table beside her.

>Uh oh.

 

"...Chrysalis? Have you been drinking?"

>She rolls her eyes at you. It's not as smooth a transition as it usually is. "What gave you that impression, Anonymous? Perhaps the bottle?"

>You shift uneasily. Ditto drunk was bad, but Chrysalis could be a disaster. She smiles at you, "This wine is much better than that 'scotch' of yours."

"Heh. To each his own?"

>She smiles at you shifting. Now on her back, she gestures for you to come over with her head. Uh...

>"Come on. I won't bite. I just want to talk."

>Slowly you walk over to her bed. Her magic pulls you down on top of her. She hugs you tightly.

"Chrysalis?"

>She takes your head in her fore hooves, bringing your faces close together. She gives you a silly smile.

>She laughs a bit creepily, "Oh Anon. You're so handsome. You'd be a perfect King, I'm sure."

>King. What the fuck are you talking about bro?

"I'm not one for politics..."

>You try to break her grip but she holds steady. She sits up, your head going with her. "You wouldn't have to worry about that. I'd handle it for you."

>Before you can say anything she pushes you into a kiss.

>Struggling against her proves futile as she forces her tongue into your mouth. She starts poking yours with it, but you do not play that game.

>You make a fist, jamming it into Chrysalis gut. As she gasps you break the unwanted kiss. You walk over to your bed and grab your pillow.

>"Anonymous? Hey wait! Why are you leaving?"

>You walk right out. You weren't doing that shit tonight.

 

>You enter the hallway, pillow in hand.

>You sigh. Nowhere to sleep in here.

>An idea comes to you. While you aren't sure you'll be all that big on it, you know for sure it'll piss off Applejack.

>And who doesn't like angering rednecks?

>You knock on the other room which held Rarity, Spike, Twilight, Fluttershy and of course, Applejack.

>You hear some shuffling followed by the door opening, revealing Applejack

>You give her a dark smile. She blinks, "Anon? Uh howdy. What are y'all doing here so late."

"Complication in my room. Need to sleep here. Got an extra bed?"

>You push in past her before she responds. You take a look about. There were no beds. Just as planned.

>Twilight gives you a sad look, "Uh sorry Anon. We're packed in pretty tight here already."

>Spike is in his trademarked basket at the foot of her bunk. Fast asleep.

>You turn to Fluttershy who was sitting on Rarity's bunk. There was an empty one under it with her bags beside it.

>You smile, [spoiler][/spoiler]"I don't mind sharing if you don't mind. Fluttershy, is it okay if we bunk together?"

>Applejack gapes, shocked. Fluttershy just nods, wings splayed out. They bash into Rarity. She shrinks at her gaze, "Oh... Sorry Rarity."

>"It’s fine darling. I know how you get around... Anonymous."

>Rarity gives you a look instead of voicing her disapproval. Of the main six she was probably the only one who actively disapproved of interspecies relationships.

>She might of been a bro against Flutters and AJ if she weren't also an annoying fashionista.

>You had watched enough Project Runway back home to know what /they/ were like.

 

>That night went alright. It was a tight fit, definitely, but Fluttershy was nice enough to give you lots of room.

>She kept touching you though. /That/ was annoying as all hell. But you tolerate it, just this once.

>Better someone you can overpower than a drunk Queen with mind control magic.

>You wonder what that was really like. She hasn't used it on you thus far and probably wouldn't.

>Though you were definitely going to have to talk with her in the morning.

>No more changelings getting drunk on your watch. Your mind wanders to thoughts of a Changeling party with spiked punch.

>You figure it'd devolve into a mindless orgy within a few minutes. You shudder, accidentally waking Fluttershy.

>She looks up at you, tired. "Anon? Are you okay?"

"Not really, Fluttershy. Bad dreams, I guess."

>"Oh. When I have bad dreams, I have a cup of warm milk... We don't really have that here though."

>She looks away sad. The damn mare was so adorable when she wasn't being a stalker/rapist.

>She sighs, snuggling into your chest. You are about to complain but her smile breaks your will.

>You'd let her have her fun. Just this once.

>But only this once.

 

>You awoke fairly early the next morning. Fluttershy was, of course, the cause.

>She apparently forgot who she was sleeping beside and gasped fairly loudly (at least for her)

>"Anon? Oh... I... Uh. How did you get into my bed?"

"You let me stay here for the night because I needed to avoid Chrysalis."

>She blinks, "Oh. I see." She looks about, "Was that it, then?"

"Correct. Nothing else occurred. Now if you'll excuse me..."

>You quickly get out of bed, heading straight for the door. You spot Applejack, who was already awake.

>She gives Fluttershy a death glare, but Fluttershy simple smirks. As you leave you hear Fluttershy proudly say: "Don't be mad Applejack. He just likes me better."

>Walking back to your room you could easily hear yelling, first from Applejack and then from the other mares who had been awoken from it.

>You chuckle to yourself. You haven't trolled this hard in...

>Well you weren't actually good at the whole trolling thing to begin with. Oh well.

>Approaching your room, you also hear some chatter from within it.

>You ignore this. You have some shit to tell.

>Whether they like it or not.

 

>You push the door open rather loudly.

>Rainbro and Chrysalis are sitting beside eachother. Apparently Rainbro was chewing her out most likely.

"Morning Rainbro. Think you could give us a minute?"

>Chrysalis looks down, ashamed. Rainbro looks at you uneasily, "Uh well, I guess. I'll be right outside if you need be."

>She flies out. You glance over to Ditto's bed, but he's still asleep.

>Chrysalis moans a bit as you look back to her. "Augh. I can't believe I did that..." She looks back up at you, "Anonymous I'm so sorr-"

>You shush her. You approach a bit more. You notice the bags under her eyes and some dried tears. She really was torn up about this.

"Chrysalis, look."

>She shrinks slightly at your gaze but doesn't break eye contact.

"Last night? Never happened. We're never going to mention it again, it's never going to happen again, and most importantly."

>You pause, pointing at the empty bottle,

"You and Ditto, /especially/ Ditto, are /never/ going to drink. Ever fucking again."

>You cross your arms. You felt so alpha, telling a Queen what to do.

"Is that understood?"

>Chrysalis nods slowly, "Yes..."

>Hearing Ditto stir you turn to face him.

>He looks about his bed, then smiles at you.

>"Aha! I knew it. No mares in my bed! Soon I will be completely immune to the effects of Alcohol!"

>You throw your hands up in defeat, turning to walk out.

"Talk to him Chrys. I'm getting some food."

 

>You return to the dining cart. A few mares were already there. Twilight and Rarity glare at you as you enter.

>You smile uneasily at them, saying hello.

>Twilight snorts. "Hello Anon. Try not to fall."

>Suddenly your foot stops working and you fall on your face. Look back you see Twilight is holding your foot in place.

>You frown at her, [spoiler][/spoiler]"Look, sorry about that."

>Rarity rolls her eyes, "Darling, you'll be sorry soon enough. My beauty sleep is not something you can just disturb without expecting retribution."

"As long as there's no blood, I'll be fine."

>You get up, dusting yourself off. Rarity gives you a posh grin, "Don't give me any ideas."

>You walk to the food platter. The chef who makes all this stuff is there too, setting up. A gryphon.

>Rainbro had told you about Gilda and while you never met her, she seemed like quite a bitch.

>Hopefully this one would not be. Your day was already off to a poor start.

"Oh, hey there. What's for breakfast?"

>The Griffon turns to you, scrutinizing your form.

>"Breakfast? You cannot see it before you? Do not waste Gustave le grand's time, peasant!"

>He turns away, putting more things onto the cart.

>Nope. Not a bitch. Just French.

 

>You sit down in the same booth as last night. It just occured to you that Rainbro wasn't outside the room like she said.

>So where was she?

>A soft landing beside you answers that question as she appears.

>"Uh hey Anon. Did you sort everything with Chrysalis out?" You just nod, biting into a baugette.

>A prick or not, this 'Gustave le Grand' was a mighty fine chef.

"Yeah, I set her straight. So what were you doing?"

>"Cleaning up Fluttershy. Applejack punched her in the face and she started bleeding."

>She shakes her head,

>"Why were they even fighting anyway?" She raises an eyebrow at you, "And why do I think it's your fault?"

"...It might have been."

>You notice Applejack walk by. She stops. She turns to you.

>Black eye, a few cuts, and she's limping just slightly.

>"Anon, y'all can go fuck Fluttershy all ya want. Ah'm done with this. For good."

>She walks to the cart and gets herself some food.

>You blink. Did you seriously just get rid of Applejack for good?

>No, you didn't.

>Shut the fuck up brain, this is a good thing.

>She'll be back. She always is.

>"Heh. Fluttershy really smashed her... I'd be scared if I had to fight her for somep0ny..."

>She looks down, slightly depressed. She starts after noticing what she said.

>She quickly laughs, "Ha, good thing it's not like that, right?" You nod slowly.

 

>A few hours later everyone gathers in the dining car.

>All your things packed, you wait. You'd be getting off any time now; 'Stone Falls' wasn't much further away.

>Fluttershy and Applejack sat across from eachother. The staring contest they were having was worriesome.

>It seemed those two would be back to blows at the slightest provocation.

>You felt actually really bad about this. You had literally ripped their friendship apart now.

>You vowed to at least try patching that together at some point, but definately not right now.

>But that would have to wait. Pinkie clears her throat, standing on a chair.

>She waits for everyone to pay attention; it doesn't take long.

>"All right everyp0ny! We're about to get to Stone Falls, the biggest rock farming community in all of Equestria!"

>You catch Applejack mutter, "And only," but Pinkie either doesn't care or doesn't hear.

>"Once there, I'll give a little tour, and then we'll head straight for my dad's house. Alright?"

>Everyp0ny nods. Rarity smiles somewhat at her, "As long as we aren't getting covered in dust, it sounds lovely."

>Pinkie giggles, Ditto flinching from this, "Oh course not Silly! We won't be doing any rock farming!"

>Well that much was good. Whatever 'Rock Farming' was, you'd have no part in it.

>You are no workhorse.

 

>You exit the train, mares ahead. You take a look around.

>It's not quite what you expected.

>The town is much smaller than Ponyville, but the few buildings around were actually much bigger.

>You spot what seems to be a multiple level hotel, a spa, a general store and a few other buildings.

>The paths are peculiar devoid of plantlife. The occasional weed, sure, but no grass to be seen.

>The buildings were also rather plain. Rather devoid of color as well.

>You frown, turning to Pinkie who wore a grin of pure joy.

"Nice place."

>She turns back to you, still smiling, "Yeah! It's great! Let me show you around!"

>Ditto quickly trots off after her, everyp0ny else right behind him. Pinkie begins her little tour.

>She shows off the hotel. Apparently we weren't staying there. How big was that farmhouse?

>She showed us the town hall. It wasn't much to look at. The mayor at least said hi.

>Otherwise though it was much like a dull, dreary and smaller Ponyville. She pointed down a path towards the edge of town.

>"And over that way is the Pie family farm! Dad lives there with my mom and sisters! Lets go say hi!"

>She bounces down the gray pathway. She was a splotch of color in an otherwise colorless world.

>You glance upwards to the sky. Even it seems to have lost it's normal allure.

>Either way, you have a family to meet. You wonder what they are like.

>You pray not like Pinkie. One was bad enough already.

 

>Walking down the path, Chrysalis eventually pointed out a very very strange construction.

>As the group stops, you wonder if you had been drugged earlier.

>What you see is apparently a waterfall. But this waterfall has no water.

>Only rocks. Thousands and thousands of rocks. Some big, some small. Either way, its rocks.

>And the hill they fell from seemed to be exactly where you were going...

>Pinkie cheers as the stones fall. Giggling, she explains that "this is the town's famous Stone Fall!"

"I figured honestly that it was just a name. This is actually pretty ridiculous."

>Chrysalis concurs, "Yes, indeed. This makes absolute no sense at all. Why roll the rocks down?"

>Pinkie gives Chrysalis a confused look, "Why not? They can get to town easier! Besides! What's the fun in making sense anyway."

>The other mane six give her a worried look, but she ignores it.

>"Come on! We're almost there!" She bounces off, Twilight becoming uneasy.

"What's up Twi? You seem like you've seen a ghost..."

>She shakes her head of what was likely a bad thought, "Uh nothing. I'm just wondering why Pinkie is quoting Discord."

>You shudder. Discord? You were lucky to avoid most of that freak's fallout when he broke free before. Ponyville, and most towns actually, got their shit thoroughly wrecked.

"Hm. That is a worrying thought."

>Rainbro rolls her eyes, facing all of us, "Come on guys, lets go. You're thinking too hard on this."

>She dashes off in chase of Pinkie. You shrug, slowly but surely heading after them.

 

>Soon enough you had arrived.

>Gazing upon the large, large fields of... Nothing. It was actually pretty underwhelming.

"This is it then? Not much to see, huh?"

>Pinkie frowns at you, "There's /lots/ to see. You're just not looking for it."

>She points back towards the fields, you eventually noticing a huge mansion/farmhouse. How'd you miss that before?

>Your pony companions gasp as they see it. Ditto seems to be staring at Pinkie's ass, while Chrysalis is only mildly surprised. How cool was her 'main' palace?

>Pinkie smiles at everyp0nies response, "See! I told you it was cool!"

>Rarity trots over to her quickly, "You never said we were staying in a mansion darling! I would have dressed better!" She wears a look of half joy and half fear. Her large, blue hat remains steady in a gust of wind.

>Pinkie smiles nervously at her, "Oops. Sorry. Well don't worry, I'm sure you can come up with something while you're here!"

>Chrysalis clears her throat, attracting the groups attention. They all have different expressions; Chrysalis' relationship with the Main 6 was as inconsistent as yours was, if not more so. Only Rainbro, Pinkie and Twilight even liked her.

>"Well then. Shall we go find Mr. Pie?"

>Pinkie nods her head, "Yeah! Let's go find dad!"

>"I'm right behind you."

 

>You and your group turn look behind her, and indeed, a stallion is there.

>A fairly built up Stallion, with a black hat. He had a pick cutie mark, so obviously he was a miner of some sort. Guess rock farm wasn't a farm at all, like you expected. He also had manly sideburns. You felt insecure around him.

>"Daddy! Hi!" Pinkie's grin grows exponentially as she glomps her dad. He just looks at her faintly, returning the hug partially. "It's been forever! How've you been."

>He shrugs, breaking the hug. "Fine."

>His gaze eventually turns to the rag tag bunch of misfits that was you and the others.

>He looks you over, scrutinizing every detail. He turns to Chrysalis and Ditto, narrowing his eyes.

>"Hmph. Changelings huh?"

>Pinkie blinks, "Oh... Yeah." She points to the duo, "This is Chrysalis and Ditto. Their friends of Anon!" Her father raises an eyebrow at the mention of your name.

>You raise a hand, waving slightly, [spoiler][/spoiler]"That would be me."

>He nods, "Mhm." He turns back to your changeling companions, "Don't try nothing funny."

>Pinkie's smile falters just so slightly as she redirects the introduction, pointing to the rest of her pony friends, "And these are my other friends, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy and Applejack!"

>She smiles proudly, but her father remains stoic. "Those two seem pretty roughed up."

>Pinkie blinks at that. She nervously turns to face Fluttershy and Applejack, who had resumed their glaring contest.

>"Don't worry about them, dad. They're uh... Going through a phase."

>He slowly nods, not buying it at all. "Right."

 

>In silence, you walk towards the big Mansion.

>Well, you were silent. Pinkie was quite keen on telling you all sorts of Pie family history while you were here.

>Apparently they had struck into a huge vein of gold which spawned the town of Stone Falls in the first place. A gold rush, if you will. However, this vein was apparently a problem as well, as a set of tunnels into 'unknown depths' was inside it.

>And ever since then, Changelings had occasionally stumbled upon the Pie family Rock Farm.

>At least you knew why Pinkie's father, who eventually introduced himself as Clyde, was so distrusting of Ditto and his Queen.

>Chrysalis had insisted that this hive wasn't under her control though. You couldn't tell if she was being serious or just trying to get Clyde to trust her more.

>Either way, it wasn't working. Clyde intended on 'keeping an eye on' them. Despite Pinkie's reassurances, Clyde saw fit to tell a mare named 'Inkie' to deal with it.

>Considering the rhyming name, you assume that Inkie is one of Pinkie's siblings.

>Soon enough, you arrived. You notice another building off at the source of the river. Some sort of stone processor.

>Clyde opens the door walking in, Pinkie bouncing right behind him.

>It's... Quite the sight.

>Chrysalis shrugs, "Hmph. I've seen better."

>Applejack looks at her incredulously, "Oh really? Where?"

>Chrys smiles smugly, "Oh just my own Palace." Applejack rolls her eyes.

>This was going to be fun...
