@@Hypn0ticD, Clare's phone beeped to show she had a message. She checked, and found that the girl she'd emailed before had replied. Clare read the email thru and smiled as she saw the request for a picture. She took a clear photo of Princess Celestia with her phone, then quickly composed an email, sending the photo as an attachment.

 

Hiya, thanks for getting back to me! Am sending an attachment with this email, which is a photo of Princess Celestia! You're darn right she's a big thing; she's the ruler of Equestria along with her little sister, Luna. Kinda wish I'd found Luna, cuz she's my fave, but there you go. Racine, you say? I'm not very far away from you in North Bay. I'm staying with a friend at the moment but I'm planning to move on soon. If you've seen my blog, I post where I am each time cuz I'm on a tour of America. We could maybe meet up, do you have someplace for me to stay? If it was only me, I'd stay at a hostel or something, but I have Shamrock and Celestia with me, so we'll need accomadation for them as well! Oh yeah, what's your name? Mine's Clare. Not very interesting, but who cares? I prefer to make my self interesting, not my name! Look forward to hearing from you!

Summer smiled as Corsica came to help her up. She managed to get back onto her feet, one hand on the couch. "Merci, Corsica!"  She said, smiling at Corsica before looking off towards where Akatsu had gone. "Miss, Akatsu...may I 'elp with anything?" She asked, her shins still aching a bit, though she could stand...still keeping one hand on the couch armrest just in case."And...as I was saying...if I can ze stars...I will be able to see where it is we are!" She said, proudly. She glanced off towards the window and smiled, moving over...this time being a little more careful. She looked out and up towards the sky, expecting to see the stars shining down upon them...however she was met with a rather disappointing sight. "Ce comme Manehattan..." She mumbled, shaking her head. The few times she'd visited manehattan, it had been much like this city...smoggy. "We need to get out of ze city. Akatsu...'ow far is it to get out of ze city?"

 

 

 

Thank you

its like Manehattan

Akatsu walked over to where the two were and looked out the window. "Well... it is about a twenty minute drive... and if you want to see stars, another 20 minutes into the middle of nowhere. You know, i could just give you a map instead..." she offered. She thought it strange to use the stars to determine position, but she knew sailors had done it hundreds of years ago. Maybe it wasn't so inconvenient as she thought it was. "I could just pull a map up on the computer actually" she said and moved over to turn on the laptop.

Shawn held onto Aegis tightly until she stopped struggling in his grasp. He continued to stare at his twin, who had since grabbed onto the now supine Chrysalis. Stephen stared back for a moment. He then looked down to the unconscious Changeling queen, then back to Shawn and Aegis. "I -- thanks. But I think it's time to leave... let's just head home. There's been enough shenanigans for one day, I think!"

 

With that, Stephen picked Chrysalis up. Shawn backed up, still holding on to Aegis to give Stephen some room. "Yeah, that would be best." After he was sure that there weren't too many people watching, he let go of Aegis to commandeer a wheelchair. Within moments, Stephen was wheeling the unconscious queen out to their car. Shawn walked behind, not saying anything.

 

Just how were they gonna handle the queen once she wakes up??

@@Hypn0ticD, 

A video game? Christmas? YouTube? All this human stuff made Atlas more confused than before.

 

"The Princess Celestia?" Playing in the big leagues now. "I can't tell if it's a good thing she's here. That means Equestria doesn't have a leader right now. She been on the throne ever since the overthrow of Discord which was... A few thousand years? Did she anything about a Princess Luna? If she's around here Equestria's in real trouble" He took another bite of food.

 

"From what I've gathered I nor anypony else is in our world" Ya don't say, Atlas? "Probably some dimension gunk. I'd ask a unicorn but... Can we get to the Princess soon? She could probably make a spell or something. She's practically a god"

 

Atlas put his hand over his mouth thinking. "When you're ready we should get going. I won't rush you. In the meantime I've got about ten thousands questions and thanks for helping a complete stranger with probably the strangest story you've ever heard. If a pony claiming to be in a different body and accusing me of random crap I'd slam the door in his face"

At this point, Aegis just felt tired. All he wanted to do was sleep. He'd figure out the rest of his situation in the morning. He slumped to the ground when Shawn let go, picking himself up slowly. Drained, tired, and not in the best of moods. Yep, that's about time to call it quits.

 

He walked beside Shawn as Stephen wheeled the unconscious Chryssie to the car, unsure of what to say or if either brother was angry right now, which added awkwardness to the list of things Aegis currently felt. His movements just kind of happened while Aegis seemed to retreat into his own little world in attempt to deal with everything that happened tonight.

While in the air, Catherine turned down the lights a bit and took some time to get some sleep, even thought the flight was only 45 minutes long.

 

When they got on the ground, they were greeted by another luxury car and an english woman who looked to be in her late thirties. The woman walked up to Cat as she stepped off the plane. "Where've you been? Did you forget about the shoot? You should've been here hours ago."

"I know, Ms. Alice, I had something to deal with this morning."

"It's alright. It doesn't matter anymore. Let's just get you to the studio."

As Cicada stepped off the plane, Alice looked up in shock. "Ripped jeans!? What is this? The '90s? As soon as you can, get your friend some proper clothing."

"Ok, je vais." Cat quickly checked her phone and replied to Colette.

 

>>I guess we could all stay there, if you want. That way we wouldn't be far away from each other. Also, your dad is asking me if you messaged me. Do you know what that is about?<<

"I do care. I needed to know whether or not other people would be able to notice them." Chloe turned from her computer and looked up to Dash. "Now I just sent a message to someone who says they found a pony. She said the name was Shamrock. Not sure if that means anything to you, but it's definitely an odd name by human standards. And it's not that I can't do anything without them, it's just that they make life easier. Does that make sense?"

Rainbow looked thoughtful for a moment before replying "No, I can't say I've ever known anypony with that name before. But there are a countless number of ponies in Equestria, just as I assume there are many humans living in this world, too. But if you think that's an odd name, then you might have something there. 'Cause I thought your name was really weird when I first heard it!" She replied with a grin, and then looked back at the screen. "Well...what are they, exactly? Do they have a name? How do they make your life easier?" She asked.

Oh... Atlas knew none of these terms, did he? She should've known! "Well... they're all hard to explain, so I'll show you later, okay?? In the the meantime, you owe me your story!"

 

It was then that Colette received the emails from both Cat and the blogger. She sent the email to Catherine before reading the email from the blogger before telling Atlas of the newcomer.

 

Atlas "I figured it probably isn't a good thing that she is." Colette said as she sent another email. "She's said nothing about Luna, other than wanting to find her... I don't think she sees the gravity of the situation quite like we do..." without hesitation, she sent her response to the blogger, hoping to at least find out where she was...

 

"From what I've gathered I nor anypony else is in our world. Probably some dimension gunk. I'd ask a unicorn but... Can we get to the Princess soon? She could probably make a spell or something. She's practically a god."

 

"And where did this come from??" Colette asked, raising an eyebrow. "I understand that Celestia's a god, but don't you think it's a little premature to just assume that. At any rate, I don't know where this lady is, so I don't if we can --"

 

There was a faint beep from Colette's phone. Unlocking it revealed a response from the blogger.

 

>>Hiya, thanks for getting back to me! Am sending an attachment with this email, which is a photo of Princess Celestia!

Colette wasted no time in typing up a response:

 

>>Yeah, Atlas told me. Doesn't that concern you? If you don't me saying, you don't seem all that worried that possibly the most powerful goddess wound up here, unless she said something about wanting to come here! Also, if Luna were here, that would leave Equestria without two rulers, right??

 

No, sorry. I only saw the post about you finding Shamrock. But North Bay?? Yeah, I know that place pretty well. Perhaps we could meet up today, if that's alright with you? Head to someplace public, send me a email, and I can meet you there!

 

Also, remember that friend I mentioned? I think I can talk to her, as she's LOADED. It might be a few days, though...<<

 

Colette then opened the attachment, and blinked. What she saw was a tall woman with unearthly beauty with a surprise on her face. She had long voluminous hair that shimmered and what looked to be a ghostly white horn and pair of wings... What in the world??

 

She then looked up to Atlas, smirking. "You're in luck, this lady isn't far. Finish getting ready, I'm gonna go shower!" She slipped in the final line >>And my name's Colette Irving,<< into the email before sliding it to Atlas. "Have a look. It's your Princess! We're gonna go meet 'er in a bit!" She stood up and headed toward the stairs. "Let's just forget about last night, okay? I'll try to answer whatever questions you have to the best of my ability on the way there! In exchange, you answer my questions and tell me your backstory, alright?"

 

With that, Colette turned and headed up the stairs.

[Firehearted 120]

@@Hypn0ticD, 

"Yes, I think we both want to forget last night" He nodded. "My story? I'll try not to bore you to death" Atlas called as she left.

 

His story? Atlas sat dumbfounded thinking. He had a detailed history but what parts to actually tell? Most of what he went he would go on about she wouldn't know about. He could just explain it though... But he still shouldn't make it too long... Atlas noticed he was thinking too hard about this. He's just wing it.

 

While he waited Atlas practiced with the fork. He's taken to it okay while eating. Sure he had grabbed it like one would grab a lever or bottle but it worked. He didn't know any better. Atlas tried to imitate the way Colette had used it but he just fumbled with it. He glanced at the screen.

 

So that was Celestia? He really didn't know how to feel about it. He guess she looked nice. He still had the mind of a pony so he still was attracted to pony mares. Right? He did a quick realty check. Was he right in the head. Yes. Moving on. He'd never seen her truly shocked before. Whenever she addressed the public she was calm and collected. Whenever she was at the gala, the same. Th only time he'd seen other emotion out of her was the two times he'd talked to her in person. It was purely for business of course. Those other emotions was slight concern and concentration. The entire meeting they had kept proper social stance. He was the subject and she was the monarch. He never stepped out of the boundaries nor did she.

 

He looked about the room idly. He gathered everything mentality and archived it. If he was going to get by here he needed to get info on everything he could.

@@Firehearted,

 

Colette had heard Atlas say that he wouldn't try to bore her to death as she made her way up the stairs. "Don't worry about it! Your life can't be anymore boring than mine is!"

 

After a trip to her bedroom, Colette proceeded onto the bathroom, and showered quickly. She emerged, dressed in camo split leg skinny jeans and her favorite zero shirt. Nothing too fancy, but at least one could kinda see she was a girl if they bothered to look hard enough!

 

"Alright, I'm ready!" She said as she re-entered the dining room. "Follow me!" Colette then led Atlas to the garage, opened the door, and reached up to press a button on the wall, revealing a ponyless chariot; a large metal door from behind to let in the sunlight.

 

Colette then made her way over to the left side of the chariot, and opened the front door. "Hop in. We're gonna go meet your princess now!"

Summer frowned a bit, looking back at Akatsu. "A map..." She paused for a moment, eyeing the machine Akatsu turned on before clearing her throat. "Unless ze map 'as both...this place and Equestria...then we can use a map. I need ze stars because...well...I'm scared we're on a different planet...or just...a whole different universe. And if we look...I could recognize some...which could at least mean we're within ze same galaxy..." She trailed off and sighed, shaking her head, knowing that even if she did find out where they were...there was no way they'd be able to get back to Equestria without the use of magic, which got her thinking...were her and Corsica the only ones? No...there must have been others of course...which meant. She glanced back at Akatsu before moving a little closer to look at the machine. "'Ave you 'eard of any other...appearances? As you know, I am not from this world...nor is Corsica..." She paused to look up at the girl in the kitchen before smiling a bit. "Miss Corsica...what exactly were you?" She asked, having not yet heard of what Corsica's species was...before coming to this strange place at least.

Akatsu looked at Corsica and then at the bathroom, pointing in its direction. 'Of course, knowing them by now, they probably don't know how to even use the bathroom...' she grudgingly thought. Akatsu finished setting up the laptop for use and turned back to Summer. "I will be honest. I think you both are absolutely crazy, but i'm willing to help in any way. If you could just talk in a way that makes sense that would be splendid." Akatsu sat down and pulled up google maps, then zoomed out the entire way. "Do you recognize any of this?" she asked, hoping she knew at least ONE continent. "I do not know what you mean by 'appearances', but i think i have an idea."

"Are-- are you okay??" Shawn asked as he helped Aegis to his feet. He looked over to his brother and the now blacked out Changeling Queen. "Okay. Enough shenanigans for now. Let's...Let's just go home!"

 

Stephen, who has since grabbed onto the Queen's now limp form, could only nod in response. He bent down to put Chrysalis into a princess carry before stepping out of the janitor's closet, carrying her like that until Shawn located a wheelchair.

 

He stayed in step with Aegis as they made their way to their car, helping Stephen get Chrysalis into the rear seat before making his way to the front passenger seat to open the door for Aegis. "Do I have to sit with her?? She friggin' tried to drain me!" Stephen groaned, to which Shawn sighed. "It's only for a little bit longer. Besides, she's out cold. She can't do anything to you like that!" "Fine, but she sleeps in your room!" Stephen grumbled.

 

****

 

With Chrysalis out of commission, the drive home was thankfully, short, uneventful and quiet! Shawn drove down this road and that, until he drove until a he turned into an apartment complex that was teeming with inhabitants close to their age, going about their business, despite the late hour. He pulled up to a building close to the front of the complex before shutting the car off.

 

"Alright, we're here. We live on the second floor." He said after jumping out and opening the door for Aegis. Once the Pegasus was out, Shawn then assisted his brother with Chrysalis. He then led the way to their door, and in no time, Aegis was led inside. "Pardon the mess, but we weren't expecting company..."

 

The entranceway was exceptionally small, as it was little more than tiles, but it gave way to a corridor that led to the living room, where one or two red drums could just be made out.

 

To the immediate right was the kitchen, which was small, and had an open walkway that led to the dining room. To the immediate left was a hallway that led to the bathroom, bedrooms, a/c unit and closet.

 

Stephen carried Chrysalis to the first door on the right, nudging it open to reveal a room with a queen sized bed flush against the wall, chest of drawers just to right of the window, and a small desk littered with papers on the far wall. The walls themselves were plastered with a potpourri of posters that ranged from Japanese gravure models to a large map of Equestria above the desk.

 

There was a keyboard flush against the wall nearest the door, a few papers filled with various notes strewn around it.

 

"You'll be sleeping in here," Shawn said as he opened the second door, revealing a room that was the same size as the first.

 

Stephen's room was arranged opposite from his twin's, as his bed was positioned on the far wall, a desk nearest the door, and a smaller chest of drawers just to the left of the window.

 

There also posters adorning the walls in this room, but they mainly consisted of western bikini models, expensive and exotic cars, and various musical instruments; there was nary a single poster depicting Equestria or any of its inhabitants.

 

On the other side of the window were mounted an orange guitar and gray bass, a large amp below them.

 

Shawn tiptoed into his room, and reemerged with a set of sleeper pants and a large t-shirt. Stephen meanwhile, went straight to his closet to fetch a change of clothes, before heading out to the living room.

 

"Eh heh... Sorry, we don't have any women's clothing, but you can wear these for the night... We'll go out tomorrow and get you some clothes." Shawn then looked away, blushing a little, as if something had just come to him.

 

"Have you... ever worn clothing in Equestria?? Because, uhh... umm..." how the hell was he gonna put this?? "You... you don't need help with getting undressed, do you??" Wow, that sounded perverted! "I mean-- you're a girl, and I'm a guy..." as if it was gonna be any better if they were both guys! "Dammit... I, uh I'll leave ya to it if you think you got it from here..."

 

Shawn had no idea how to properly convey what he was getting at. He fell silent, looked away, and scratched his head. Never before had he ever ask if anyone if they needed help getting dressed! Boy, was it ever awkward!

 

 

 

Extra long post is extra long!

 

Here be the floor plan for the twins' apartment!

Aegis ran on autopilot for the most part, from exiting the hospital to the car trip. When they arrived at the apartment, he snapped out of his trance as Shawn helped him out and led him inside. The mess wasn't really surprising. His own room was like that and his dad's room was worse.

 

When Shawn pointed Aegis to Stephen's room, he started to feel anxious but just nodded. Considering Chryssie's behaviour hadn't done her a lot of favours in getting the twins on her side, Aegis believed it was best not to complain. Before he could get too worked up, Shawn had gone into his room to get a change of clothes and offered them to Aegis. What came next actually helped to cheer him up a little. He gave a small smile as Shawn started to stumble over his words.

 

"I think I can manage clothes. Thanks anyway, Shawn." Aegis said, hugging Shawn and giving him a small kiss on the cheek.

Clare was starstruck by meeting THE God-Princess Celestia! Even as a human, she possessed an ethereal beauty and regal air that no mortal could ever come close to possessing. "Ohh my, it's such an honor to have found you, princess! Just wait until other Bronies and Pegasisters find out!"

 

Clare then turned to Shamrock, all smiles. "Isn't this exciting?? We've found Celestia! We have to let others know!"

>>Ordinarily, I'd call your claim of finding an Equestrian crazy or find it to be a joke, but I too, found one -- a Pegasus who goes by the name of Atlas Lightfeather. I don't have any pictures of him just yet, but I'll see if I can get one soon. 

 

Even crazier still, I have a friend in France who also says she's found a Pony and a Changeling, whatever those are! She's on the way to New York City, but I'll drop her a line and have her email you!

Well, just this moment we were walking back from the gym and we found Princess Celestia! Yes, I'm sure it's definitely her. No human ever has hair that's shifting shades of pastel colours, and that glitters like that! Message me back, tell me where you are, and maybe we could meet up? I need to move on soon, my room's getting awfully crowded and I can't expect my host to put up with it for too long. Besides, I'm on a tour. I don't intend to stay in one place forever!<<

 

"Fantastic news!" Clare said, addressing both the Princess and Shamrock. "Someone else found a Pony! Moreover, they say that they have a friend whose found a Pony and Changeling as well!"

 

Clare was getting swept away in the moment... First, she found Shamrock, then by pure luck, The Harbinger of the Equestrian Dawn! Though personally, Clare's favorite princess was Luna, but she'd be hard pressed not to see the boon in finding Equestria's most powerful ruler. It was all she could do to keep her Fangirling in check when she received a response:

 

>>Princess Celestia?? I don't watch the show, but from what I gather from the wiki, she's a BIG deal!

It sounded like this person was willing to meet up, however, and they didn't live far, so there was that going for them! But first...

 

"Excuse me your majesty, but this person wants a picture of you... if you don't mind!"

Was she a cosplayer? If so, what was doing out here?? "Ma'am, are--are you okay?? Do you need help?"

 

"I'm fine but I do need help. Have you seen my friends anywhere? Ya can't miss 'em. Seen anypony around with purple hair? Or rainbow?" the girl asked as she approached him, getting uncomfortably close. "Anypony...?" Erick mouthed. Yep she needed help alright, but not the kind he could provide! She must've been a Pegasister that got separated from her group... funny, though; as far as he knew, there weren't any conventions or meetups that were scheduled!

 

Perhaps she was just staying in character, but for whatever reason, Erick couldn't tell. "Ma'am, were you with someone? Cosplay group, perhaps?" He shook his head.

"I am- er, was a unicorn. It feels so strange now, not having my horn... or really anything familiar to me." Corsica walked into the room that Akatsu had indicated and looked around for a moment, trying to figure out what everything was, or at least what she needed to use to bathe. It looked like it worked much like equestrian faucets; one handle for hot water and one for cold. She then took a look at what was inside. There was something that was called shampoo, which from the descriptions sounded like it was for hair, conditioner, which also sounded like it was for hair, especially since they were grouped together, and body wash, which was pretty self explanatory. She looked down to her clothes for a moment and took a wild guess, assuming that they were not to be worn while bathing. Hopefully these creatures have more in common than she originally thought. While she was taking off her clothes, she lost her balance and fell over, making a loud thud. "I'm alright... I think," she tried to assure Akatsu from the other room. Corsica continued what she was doing from the safety of the floor. She then turned on the shower, making sure to keep the water at a comfortable temperature, and hopped in.

"Sounds confusing," Rainbow replied as she followed Chloe into the kitchen. "all this talk of networks, communicating, programming, websites, that all somehow exist only inside these small boxes. Seems like something Twilight wound be really into. She's a really good friend of mine, and one of the princesses of Equestria. But she's a total egghead! She'll yammer on for hours on end about the absolutely most boring stuff in the world that nopony around her understands!" She said with a laugh.

 

Chloe asked Dash if she would like something to drink. "Yea, sure! You got any apple cider? I know that might seem kinda random, but I really like it! So if ya had any, that'd be awesome!" She grinned.

"I came here looking for my friends, but I guess they didn't hear me calling out to them. What's a cosplay group? Oh, and by the way, my name's Pinkie Pie. What's your name?" Pinkie asked, her motor mouth kicking in at top speed now that she had an audience of sorts. If even one pony listened, she'd throw a party. "It's not that cold, is it? I feel just fine. Then again, it could be colder where I'm from... or it could be my super snazzy hoodie. It's nice and soft and warm."

 

She began to go on a tangent about her hoodie, though how she knew what it was is anypony's guess. Still, she may as well follow this guy, since he knew his way around the place. She might even run into her friends on the way, which would be great!

The twins felt as if they were on autopilot as they made their way home, and neither really snapped out of it until the queen was tucked into bed.

 

Shawn was honestly relived to hear that Aegis would be able to manage dressing herself. "Thank God! Things would've gotten awk--"

 

He was cut off by Aegis kissing him on the cheek. If Shawn's face wasn't red before, it certainly was now! "I-- I'll leave ya to it, then!" He said, face growing hotter and hotter.

 

He brought a hand up to where Aegis kissed him, smiling awkwardly and waving as he made his way to the living room. "G'night, Aegis!"

 

****

 

Stephen looked up from the couch to the sight of his twin walking into the living room backwards, a stupid looking smile upon his face. What the hell was that all about?? "Hey Shauna, what the hell's gotten into ya?"

 

Shawn whipped around startled, as if Stephen materialized out of thin air. "N-nothing!"

 

"Right." Stephen deadpanned. "Anyway, what do we do about the queen? She was about to feed offa me when Aegis clocked 'er. What do we do if she wakes up in the middle of the night? She could feed offa any one a' us!"

 

Stephen had a good point. What if Chrysalis happened to wake up in the middle of the night? What were they to do then?? "I really don't know, Stevie..."

 

"Well, that's just fantastic!" Stephen responded with a heavy sigh. "Go get a change of clothes, and turn in. Let's just hope for your sake Chrysalis won't stoop so low!"

 

With that, Stephen pulled up the blanket he had acquired from the closet, threw his back on his pillow, and closed his eyes. Shawn took his advice, snuck into his brother's room, and chanced a glance at the Changeling queen. From the looks of it, she was still down for the count, but as Stephen pointed out, for how long? Hopefully, it would be long enough! He made his way to Stephen's bureau, pulled out a change of clothes, and left the room.

 

One quick visit to the bathroom later, Shawn was now settling down on the loveseat for the night. Tomorrow would be another day. Another day to try and find some level of congruity with Chrysalis, take her and Aegis out into the world, do their best to play teacher, and maybe find someone else out there who has found a Pony...

 

... Tomorrow was gonna be one hell of a day!

"Goodnight Shawn." Aegis said, waving back before closing the door. He'd made another leap from upset to happy thanks to Shawn, who he found to be quite a nice guy. He changed out of his T-shirt and cargo pants into the large T-shirt and sleeper pants. He paused in the middle of getting dressed to look in the mirror and discovered the extent of the changes to his body. While he knew he would look like a female native, he hadn't figured that he'd look so...attractive.

 

While his chest was flat and his shoulders were more masculine, his face and hips were noticeably feminine. "Oh. Well, that's...not bad, actually." He said, moving away from the mirror to finish getting dressed and climb into bed. He'd figure things out in the morning, when his mind was working properly. But for tonight, he just thought of Shawn until he fell asleep.

Ooc: Time for Cat to find Diego!

 

@,  

 

Cicada hung back as Cat conversed with her friend. It all seemed to the changeling commander to be almost too much for her to take in. Not just the nature of her arrival in this strange world, but everything that had happened since then. Cicada however was grateful to Cat for allowing her to feed off her emotions; without that, Cicada was certain that she'd be unable to function. Letting her eyes drift lazily around the airport, Cicada suddenly focused on something, or rather, someone, who was as strange and out of place in this world as she was. It was a young man, nothing seemingly wrong with that, but this particular young man who was seated on a bench near to where they were standing was wearing clothing which was patched indigo and dark red like the coat of a pinto pony. His head was hanging with tiredness, but as he looked up briefly, Cicada saw that his eyes were red.

 

Changelings always had very good attention to detail; it was part of their nature. After all, a species which spent its time mimicking others had to be able to affect the likeness of the target exactly, so as to fool others successfully. Of course, some changelings were more skilful at this than others. As changeling Commander, second in command only to Queen Chrysalis herself, Cicada was one of the best at noticing details which escaped others. She was certain that this stranger was, like herself, also an Equestrian caught up in Avarice's spell so despite her misgivings, decided to let Cat know. Cicada didn't want at all to invite a pony into the group as she was certain that the pony would not trust her a bit, but set those feelings aside. She didn't want to be responsible for abandoning another Equestrian, should it come out at a later date that she had been in the vicinity and had done nothing. So she nudged Cat with an elbow.

 

"That boy sitting on the bench, there," Cicada said, "Is an Equestrian. I am certain of it. Perhaps you ought to go speak to him and make sure?"

Stephen's fears weren't exactly unfounded. As everyone else drifted to sleep, the former changeling queen stirred. Humiliated and in pain, she silently fumed in the bed and tore off the bandages covering part of her face. 'Ever since that creature appeared in front of my ancestors... things have gotten progressively worse for us. Everything I've done is for the good of my hive. I only did what I had to do...' She thought, crawling out of bed an silently creeping to the door.

 

She opened it a bit and peered out. 'Good. They're asleep. Shawn is brimming with love right now, so is that Pegasus in the next room. Maybe not true love like Cadance and Shining Armour, but the attraction between those two is enough to restore some of my power.' Going after the twins hadn't worked out in her favour last time, and she had a little...unfinished business with Aegis. So she crept into the room they gave the Pegasus, guided by her feelings for Shawn. The Queen stood over the Pegasus like a vampire observing their sleeping prey, before bending down and angling the former pony's head and kissing her on the lips. A soft pink glow began transferring from Aegis to Chryssie, and her injuries started healing. She waited a few more seconds before cutting the link, and there was no damage to Aegis at all. She'd just think she was more tired than she thought. Of course, Chryssie had the worst luck. As she turned to leave, Aegis woke up...

 

"What are you doing?!" The Pegasus yelled.

 

Chryssie didn't even look back at her. "Just getting a midnight snack. Hope you didn't mind." She said dryly, though she couldn't resist a smug smirk.

 

Aegis tried to get up, but everything felt hazy. She felt strange, and then it occurred to her what had happened. She touched her lips and went quiet. "I...I never thought...that would be my first kiss..."

 

"It's never quite what you imagine, is it?" Chrysalis said, leaving the former Pegasus confused yet again.

With a shout like that? Boston coulda heard you! Erick thought. He raised an eyebrow when the girl said she didn't know what cosplay was. And she was dressed like that. Right!

 

Erick raised his eyebrow even higher when the girl went on to say that she was Pinkie Pie. Was she for real??

 

"Um--" 'Pinkie Pie' then went on and on about her hoodie, cutting him off. "-- or it could be my super snazzy hoodie. It's nice and soft and warm."

 

"Ma'am..." Erick said, a weak attempt to interject, but the girl just kept going! "MA'AM!" he finally shouted. "I get it, hoodies are amazing, okay?? Why don't I take you someplace where you can call and meet up with them, alright?? Follow me..."

 

With that, he turned and led the hyperactive, loquacious cosplayer known as Pinkie Pie down to a familiar diner that happened to be open late, all the while cursing his luck that one, he decided to leave his car at he, and two, taking some random stranger who looked to be barely out of her teens to a diner late at night because reasons!

 

Well, what to talk about along the way? Perhaps he could get the girl to drop the act?? "So what's your real name? And what're your friends' real names?"

 

A weak start, but it was something!
