>Hey, Tia? Got a question.

"Shoot."

>...Really?

"Yes, really. Shoot... right between the eyes if you don't mind. Blam!"

>...Really.

"No, not really, I just feel weird at this point if I don't say it. What can I help you with?"

>What were the Saddle Arabians here for?

"...What?"

>Way, waayyyy back when, Saddle Arabians were here fer' a visit. Twi put on a show fer' 'em.

"Good lord, that was forever ago! Why bring them up now?"

>Jus' wanted ta' know what we trade with 'em.

"Oh... sand."

>...Sand.

"Yes, they make the finest colored sand in all the world! It makes my stained glass windows positively pop!"

>...Sand.

"Well, what else are we going to trade with them for?"

>Ain't they got oil?

"Oh yes, they struck it one time, but I never did any trading for it. Why? Do we need it?"

>...Huh. Can't think of any reason we do, just seems important.

"Well, if you think of a reason, please tell me."

>Uh... sure.

"..."

>...

"...Is that all?"

>Ah' jus' feel like we should have some or somethin', sounds SUPER important.

'Applejack, don't be silly! Whatever could be important about oil of all things? It's so messy and stains everything, I personally hate it."

>...This is gonna bug me forever.

"Sorry?"

>...

"...Oh, fine. Want me to do the flip?"

>Would ya'? Please?

"Oh, alright, you look like you need the boost... WHEEEE!"

'I'm not going to lie, after you told me the you uh... 'got some time in pre-wedding' with Chrysalis, I had a deep fear she was going to show up on our doorstep with one... or a hundred.'

>Reasonable fear that I also may have shared and kept up awake at night over.

'This was probably best case scenario regarding that.'

>Yeah, I'd say this is best universe of 'our kid is a changeling'... for more reasons than one.

'...I got some air with that throw.'

>I'm pretty impressed, she's chasing it down.

"..."

>...The fact you though I wouldn't notice is insulting to me, really.

"D-don't know what you mean, Miss Cheerilee!"

>Really? Come on.

"O-OH! If you're looking for Silver Spoon, she's out... sick. Sick with the flu. The not-feather flu. Regular flu."

>...Really?

"Yes! Really! Isn't that right Tabububu?"

>That's not how she says its name.

"What are you talking about? Of course it is! Tablublblb's name is the same every time! You just must not be hearing it right because you only make minimum wage, and can't afford to hear properly."

>...hurtful.

"See? Totally confirms my identity!"

>Sigh... Silver Spoon? You clearly just painted yourself pink and slapped on a fake cuite mark.

"N-NO I DIDN'T!"

>...

"No she didn't, I mean! No, wait, that was right, I didn't do that because I don't need to because I'm..."

>...

"...Look, she's going through a rough patch because her friends moved away and didn't even say goodbye and she's in a really bad place right now, I know you normally hand out detentions, but I figured-"

>Oooooooh. Oh dear, that's right, Seventy Seven didn't tell her before he left. Oh dear, that's a shame. I know he and her have been close since before Partyland, it must have been so hurtful, especially after she was kicked off her little team. Poor thing, she must be devastated, isn't she?

"...She handed tablipbu to me. To ME."

>Oh my. Well, of course I'll look the other way just this once, I understand.

"Oh... neat."

>...

"...Forget you're an actual teacher sometimes."

>Doesn't come up as much as you'd think.

"Soooo-"

>Detention for you.

"WHAT!? WHY!?"

>For shouting in my class.

"..."

>Guess my paycheck isn't effecting my hearing too badly after all, is it?

"...Shoot."

>Chrysalis
"???"
~~

She admitted, she felt one hundred percent back to normal right now as she trotted down the halls of the Empire. One hundred percent back on top and on her game. She had her home, she had her allies, she had her fun, she had told Applejack where she could stuff it, everything was just one hundred percent golden. In fact, everything was pure golden.

So thus, she was a little taken back when she walked up to the guarded doors leading to the portal that would wisk her away to Canterlot for a bit of zaniness and found it was not as barren as normal.

>...What in the...

"Afternoon, Majesty!"

Nestled up against the doors, between two soldiers standing at attention, there she was. A single changeling with her back to the door. Normally, it would take a second to piece together which changeling she was, were it not for the distinct tell on her brow.

Looking at her, you would never know that Changeling Forty One, and she was not appending that damned previous moniker on them anymore damn it, had been mere seconds from death not a single solitary day ago. In fact, she looked downright chipper.

>...Forty One.

She bowed respectfully, of course. Just as she always had before, every single day before.

>Is there something you need?

"Uh, yeah! I was actually waiting for someone to help, cause the portal's out of power, and I need help to get through. Neither of the guards can charge it, so..."

>...You wish to go back to Canterlot?

"Yes!... I mean, is that okay Majesty? Do you need me for something else?"

>...

"I mean, you said you didn't have a mission for me when we left yesterday, so I figured... i-is that okay? If you have something you need, I'll get to it first!"

>...

"...Majesty?"

>No, no I do not. I suppose it would be... strenuous to send you on another mission so soon, after your previous one lasted so long. Have you been brought back up to speed?

"Yeah! Turns out I didn't do much but mope."

>That was the plan, after all. You had to look as terrified as possible.

"Woo, glad you brain zotzed me, I would've gone all punchy if it had just been me!"

>...

"N-NOT THAT I WOULD EVER PUNCH YOU, MAJESTY! Just... in general!"

>Noted. So... are you sure you wish to go back? Surely your previous acquaintances will be... suspicious of you, considering.

"I'm a changeling, they're always suspicious."

>That is not better.

"Nahhh, they're not gonna attack me! And even if they do, I've been training, I can totally take them now!"

>All of them?

"I'll prove it!... If they attack me, I mean. Proooobably shouldn't start a fight. Unless it's with Suckerpunch."

>Are you sure he'll even want to be around you anymore? Considering you were there solely to 'test the waters' for guards and changelings interacting... and I should say that plan fell through.

"Nah, he'll understand. All part of the job!"

>...Are you sure?

"Come on, Majesty! I know you're worried about me, but I can handle myself! If things go too bad, I'll just go get Twilight, she'll help."

>...Fine.

Regally, she paced her way inside, igniting the portal with one blast of her horn.

"Wow. I shot at that thing for hours, and I still couldn't charge it."

>That, little one, is why I am the Queen.

"You said it!"

>If I order you to turn around, I expect you will drop any regard for this... 'suckerpunch' and do as I order, correct?

"You got it Majesty! I'll never disobey you!"

So happy, so carefree, so earnest...

It stung a little, as she walked through the portal. That niggling thought, that truth...

That it was all a lie.

>Indeed... never more.

>I KILLED 41!

"WHAT!? WHAT THE FUCK, WHY!?"

>Because she's turning them against me, this is all part of her plan! She challenged me and backed me into a corner, I had to do this now!

"...I'm sorry, what!?"

>Don't you understand! This is leading to the rebellion that wipes out hives, and then-SHUT THE FUCK UP CHITANIA I'M TALKING!

"...S-shut up who?"

>THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS! FIRST THE REBELLION, THEN THE BAD THING! THEN EVERYONE IS FUCKING DEAD! BUT HAH! I BEAT HER TO THE PUNCH! CAN'T TELL ME I CAN'T STOP THEM ALL FROM DYING! HAH!

"...I am actually, legitimately afraid of you right now."

>MOMMY WILL LOVE ME AGAIN!

"Aaaand, now I'm going to go get some tranquilizers and try to get you help, because you are clearly not in the right mindset."

>APPLEJACK WANTS MY CHANGELINGS DEAD!

"She really, really does not-"

'Sire! There has been an event in Canterlot, Princess Applejack just executed a changeling in public!'

>...

"...Uh... w-why?"

'According to reports, it seemed he faced off with an agent Applejack sent to fight him and was winning.'

"...Now, see, I was happier when she was just crazy."

>HAH! In your face, Auntie! I knew he would believe me!

"Believe you believe it, yes. Think Applejack is actually planning to kill your changelings, well... well I guess that one's in the maybe pile since she did that. But we're giving her the benefit of the doubt."

>I'M NOT!

"Riiight. Why don't we go take a nice nap, and we see about making you not dangerously crazy for a little bit. Because this is a legitimate problem now. You just cut off someone's head."

>HOW DID YOU KNOW!?

"..."

>...Oh, right, still carrying it.... say hi, 41!

{HIIII!}

"...I feel like I am missing a lot of really vital information."

>THIS IS ALL GOING ACCORDING TO PLAN!

"Now I know you're crazy."

PORTAL CUTAWAY!

"APPLEJACK WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"

'AH DIDN'T MEAN IT! AH-AH-AH THOUGHT AH WAS JUST GONNA KNOCK HIM COLD! AH DIDN'T WANNA KILL HIIIIIM!'

"DAMNIT! NOW YOU'VE MADE CHRYSALIS MAD!"

'OH FAUST! 29, SHE'S GOIN' AFTER 29!'

"She...WHAT? No! 41! She just beheaded 41!"

'WHAT?!'

"CALM DOWN!"

'AH CAN'T! IT'S ALL GOIN' TO SHIT! IT'S MAH FAULT.... IT'S ALL MAH FAAHUAAHUAAALT!'

"At least you're honest...at leas that"

'BU-BU-BU BUT SHE MADE ME! AH THOUGHT SHE WAS GONNA SEND 7 T' KILL 29 AND AH HAD TO STOP HIM!'

"But-you..you can't just...this is a bad day"

'YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND SHINY! SHE'S LIKE THIS...SHE'S GONNA KILL 'EM HERSELF!'

"That doesn't make killing 7 any better-"

'ACCIDENT!'

"I'm kinda starting to doubt you"

'BU-BU SHE'S ALREADY KILLED ONE! AN-AN-AN' ALL THE OTHERS ARE GONNA GET IT TOO!'

"Just...uh...why have you both done this?"

'We agreed under the stipulation you would not make this sex based. That was the agreement.'

>It's not!

[Really.]

{...Wait, is it?}

[...Really? Really. You don't see how a 'large hot pink, shifting cavern surrounded by obsidian' that can only be accessed through 'inserting the shining spear' into a special lock correlates to this.]

{...Is the spear magical?}

>It's purely aesthetics! The black obsidian is made to make you think it is a dark dungeon, but the hot pink in the middle takes you off guard!

"Then explain why it's required we undo the first lock with our tongues before we're even allowed to use the spear?"

>It's purely a dexterity check! If you don't have it, later in the dungeon will be really hard, this is just me telling you to grind now. Subtly! I'm using subtlety!

'Oh yeah? Why does the cave moan?'

>It's the souls of the uneasy dead who can never rest until they are satisfied, only then do they grow quiet.

[Really.]

>I'll have you know I worked very hard on the monsters in here!

"Is one of them a monster made of pearls?"

>HOW DID YOU KNOW!? Have you been peaking!?

"Lucky guess."

'...What are the odds that she's actually being honest?'

[.....Really.]

{I don't know what you guys mean! I helped her make these too, I even made the dungeon and everything!}

>Spike
“Jetset”
~~~~

It wasn’t odd to see Jetset roaming the hall nowadays. It wasn't exactly common, considering his profession, but it wasn't cause to lift a brow at either.

But what WAS cause to lift a brow was the packet of apple-themed hair barrettes caught up in the agent's magic, hovering next to his head.

As casually as possible, Spike slid into his path.

>Heeeey, Jet, what’s up?

Jetset flickered, appearing behind the dragon with nary a step lost.

“I am fine, Spike, have a good day.”

…Oh, so it was going to be like that? Alright.

Not to be deterred, Spike caught up to the secret service stallion, glancing intermittently at the barrettes.

>So. Hair clips. Those’re nice. Perfect season for 'em, too. Doesn’t really match your coat there, but hey, even a stallion likes to look cute sometimes, right? I mean, look at Quicksil-

“They are not for me.”

Well, obviously.

>They’re not? Should’ve known, ha! Manly guy like you? Pssh, yeah, no, not your style!

He cleared his throat conversationally.

>But so then, who’s the lucky mare…?

“She is not a mare, she is my second Queen, and I would not be so quick to think receiving this trinket makes her lucky.”

So it was for Applejack then.

>Ahhh, I see, yeah, that makes sense. …Theeeen what’s the occasion? Like, did she ask you for them or…?

“There was no demand on her part, no. Just an idle thought that popped into my mind, something to add a bit of flair to her hair. I’ve seen her sighing at her reflection a few times in the past and figure the loss of her hair must still hurt her… so this is something I think will, how do they say? Turn her frown upside down.”

Nope.

Nope nope nope.

A gift? To his applebutt? From another guy? It might have been just that hoarding/selfish side of his dragon heritage showing but yeah, no.

>Oh, Jet, there’s no need to trouble yourself! I’m sure you got plenty on your plate already, safety of Equestria stuff, you know, so don’t worry about it, I’ll make sure AJ gets-

In the act of reaching for the little package, Jetset’s magic hovered it out of Spike’s reach and he fixed the dragon with a stare that was completely hidden behind his shades yet felt anyway.

“I am quite capable of multi-tasking, Spike. I wouldn’t be worth my salt if I couldn’t handle tasks of varying natures simultaneously, would I?”

Ha. Touché, secret agent di-

>Well, I mean, it’s just I don’t want you to get scolded, Jet. I can’t imagine what you’re doing right now but you always have a mission going on. You can multi-task, yeah, but shouldn’t the objective come first? Look, just gimme the hair clips and-

“I appreciate your undying duty as my second Queens righthand dragon-it is truly admirable-but I… would like to see her face firsthand once she receives this, so I can know if I did good.”

…Son of a bi-

Something slim and cool pressed up against the back of Jetset’s head, something that Spike pulled the hammer back on.

>You just couldn’t hand over the damn barrettes, could you, Jet?

“…Really, Spike? Over something like this? You should know I am not one to pull my punches.”

>You either fork over the clips or I pull a punch of my own. Except it’d be a trigger.

“If you wish to see which is faster, my teleportation or your bullets, then by all means, pull the trigger. Because you won’t be getting these hair clips.”

>Wrong answer.

The click of Charity’s trigger was enough to snap Spike out of his daydream.

“-know if I did good.”

>…Well, I’m sure she’ll enjoy it, Jet.

Jetset kept walking. Spike spun on his heels with the smallest of smirks.

>Go ahead and give her those clips, Jet. But you oughta know… two can play at this game, friend.

>...Wow.

"Yeah, this place sure feels... weird."

[Told you guys stopping for breakfast in the Ponyville diner was going to feel weird.]

(Does anyone else find it weird to see a menu and not see an option for caviar?)

{What is that anyway? I've always wondered, but was too shy to ask.}

(...Nevermind.)

'Oh wow, look! It's the old Sugar Cube Corner!... Wow that place looks run down.'

(Not as run down as my old place...)

"How are the Cakes doing up there anyway?"

'Great! Business has never been better. LOT of weird orders, but they get huge bonuses for them. Did you know one time someone ordered a cake shaped like someone's willy? I'm not even joking!... Rumor is, and you didn't hear this from me... it was Princess Celestia!'

*WHAMWHAMWHAM!*

(Twilight, darling, do stop hitting your head on the table, it was likely just a rumor.)

"YES!"

(...Oh... kay?)

>Still... kinda miss this place. Got ta' see a lot of it when Ah' ran off. Wish we visited here more often.

[Ahhh, I don't miss it.]

{Really? You don't miss all the memories? The remembering of the adventures, all the fun times we had?}

[Nah.]

>...Wow.

[Just saying, never really liked this place before, only came down because Cloudsdale was filled with ponies who made fun of me... honestly? Everything I ever liked about this place was you guys. So long as we're still together, I could take or leave any place.]

>...Go ahead, Ah' know ya' wanna-

'DAWWWWW! GROUP HUG!'

>There it is.

"Still, maybe we should visit... just a bit more."

>Maybe once or twice, jus' ta' see the family.

{And we should probably make sure nothing bad is happening. }

[Oh yeah, obviously, probably miss us ever disaster.]

(Yes...)

"I miss this place, and wish our castle was down here."
