private Slice of Life

[MLP Dazzleglow 56]

The Changelings all eventually moved in directly under Ponyville though none of the residences noticed this. There were multiple entrances and exits though MP's were constantly on guard, or so the ponies of Ponyville Thought they were EAF MP's. Shining Star ended up remaining with Storm Rush, Thunder Dash, and Rainbow dash and was finally accepted among the ponies to who she really was. Even though her 'Parents' were not of the EMAF, there was a burial with full military Honors given on their behalf. Chrysalis ended up returning back to the first Hive with in the Wastelands and returned to her duties as Queen of the Changelings, though with love that she could produce herself and feed all her children. Shining Star stayed and did her duties as princess with in the newly built cave or Hive 6 as the changelings have come to call it. Shining Star would venture about through the caves every so many days to be with her mother. Though she would always refer to Rainbow Dash as her mother and Thunder Dash as her father. She would even go as far as to change her form to a miniature rainbow dash.

Thunder Dash continued to do his daily errands around Ponyville and so did Rainbow Dash and Storm Rush. But Thunder Dash spent the most time with Shining Star. Rainbow Dash often cuddled with her. Sometimes, Thunder Dash would go and visit Chrysalis and chat to see how everything was going and if she was planning to make another hive. One thing's for sure, the bond between Chrysalis and Thunder Dash was growing rapidly. Eventually, Rainbow Dash went and visited Chrysalis. 

[MLP Dazzleglow 56]

In Hive 1 Chrysalis sees rainbow dash. "Oh, Mrs. Dash, I didn't expect to see you here. Is everything Alright dear?" She said while mentally telling a changeling to bring some refreshments up for the guests that have come into the Hive. "I do apologize about the mess. We are trying to expand Hive 1 instead of building Hive 13

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

"Oh, just coming to visit, I've actually never been to a hive, so I thought I just stop by and say hello, on my way back up to Cloudsdale." Rainbow Dash said as she looked around. "Thunder Dash and Shining Star are sleeping back in the tunnels." Rainbow Dash added. 

[MLP Dazzleglow 56]

Chrysalis Smiles at the mention of her daughter and gets a mental image of her sleeping in one of the tunnels. "So why are you heading to Cloudsdale? Sorry about the disaster we caused on it by the way. From what i have heard is that Cloudsdale is rebuilt"

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

"Oh just for the daily check on everything, you know, the weather factory and all." Rainbow Dash said. "Well..gotta run!" Rainbow Dash said saying goodbye to Chrysalis. Meanwhile Thunder Dash had woken up and was stroking the still sleeping Shining Star. Storm Rush had woke up and went to do some chores. 

[MLP Dazzleglow 56]

Chrysalis just stands there dumbfounded by how soon Rainbow dash left and just as the drone walked in caring the chocolate, muffins, and refreshments. "She left, you can eat them yourself, or share them with the rest of the staff, i don't mind on which one you chose. We need to finish up the construction, and i think we may ended up needing to build Hive 13, and build a hive 14." She thinks the last part to herself. back in Ponyville Shining Star was having fun changing into random ponies and ended up getting stuck looking like five different ponies all at once. "Well, this was not what i was expecting"

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

Thunder Dash couldn't help but laugh. "Hey Shining Star! Watch this!" Thunder Dash said tensing up his muscle. He then slowly began to transform into a changeling. "Well, what do you think? Soothing for a little scare prank?" Thunder Dash asked snickering. 

 

Meanwhile Rainbow Dash was up in Cloudsdale checking if everything was back in order. Everything was slowly getting back into flow. She then returned to the tunnels. 

[MLP Dazzleglow 56]

"How did you do that?" she asked while still stuck as multiple ponies. She sees Rainbow Dash coming into the tunnels and runs over to her. "mommies home! How was Cloudsdale? Is it still rebuilding or did they finish a few months back?" she said in Sweetie-bell's voice

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

Rainbow Dash giggled as Shining Star ran towards her. After greeting Shining Star. Rainbow Dash settled in and chilled for a while. 

 

"A special spell I actually taught myself. But this is the only transformation I can do, since I'm not a pure changeling. I only use it when I have to, or just to scare ponies." Thunder Dash explained as he transformed back into himself. 

[MLP Dazzleglow 56]

"Awesome, I bet your the life of the party during nightmare night," Shining Star said as she was finally able to drop the form and resume her normal form. Days turned to weeks. Weeks turned to Months, and months turned to years. Five years after the 'changeling attack' as ponies had come to know it soon dwindled and became forgotten due to the changelings staying in the Hives or the tunnels beneath the city. Shining Star would only put on her normal pony disguise when she left the tunnels in the day, but if it was night outside, she would stay as a changeling.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

Five years after the changeling attack. Rainbow Dash was almost a Wonderbolt. And somehow, Thunder Dash earned his second cutie mark, which was a piano. He did it by performing at a talent show. However, it took a lot of practice and he doubted he could pull it off. 

 

 

(OOC: I play piano in real life, which is my main talent. And it seems like the roleplay is ending right about now.)

[MLP Dazzleglow 56]

Shining Star flipped out when she saw Thunder Dash get his second cutie mark. She was so exited but she had to remain calm for the sake of her disguise. deep down she was very happy

(OOC: probably, i may keep it going, just like a life type of thing, but at the same time, i dont know)

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

Thunder Dash sensed Shining Stars excitement. Often, he was found singing a tune since he got the cutie mark. 

 

Then all of a sudden Rainbow Dash went on a cake eating binge. There was a contest held at some point, which Rainbow Dash won. The prize was a huge supply of delicious lemon cake. 

 

Again, Thunder Dash couldn't resist. He tickled Rainbow Dash's big round belly. Every time she laughed, it would jiggle, which made her laugh even more. 

[MLP Dazzleglow 56]

Chrysalis watched from a distance. All she wanted was for little shining Star to have a normal life, and she finally came to the conclusion that in order for her to have the normal life she wanted to give her she had to remain out of her life, Celestia still had conflicting emotions when it came to changelings, but had forgotten that Shining Star was one as well. She left a note on the table in the tunnel and left the letter read:

 

Dear Thunder-Dash,

Thank you for opening my eyes to the love and care that a pony could give a changeling. I have finally found a way for shining Star to have the normal life that she should have always had, and that life is going to be with you. As you read this, her memory is being altered to that of having no memory of me, and this is tearing me up inside. I now know that I need to do what is best for her. there will be three praetorian in the cocoons in her bedroom that you will need to release when you find this letter. Do not try to find me, for i will not be able to be found. Me and all of the occupants of Hive 13 are going to leave beyond the boundaries that ponies have traveled. There may come a time when she ends up remembering me, but that may not be for years to come. Just tell her that i passed away, and that you took her in to spare her a broken heart. I love her very much. Good by and thank you for understanding; Chrysalis

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

Thunder Dash got the letter. He didn't know what to do. It took a couple of days for him to courage up and tell Shining Star what Chrysalis had told him to do. Because of her memory, Thunder Dash thought that she would wipe it easily. He knew that she was very sensitive when they met for the first time. But since Chrysalis wanted him to do it, he did it. Over the days, he became slightly worried about Chrysalis, but something inside of him said that it was gonna be alright. 

 

The time came to get the praetorians out of their cocoons.  

[MLP Dazzleglow 56]

Shining star, now having no memory of her real mother once again, follows Thunder Dash and Rainbow Dash into the cocoon room. "What are we doing daddy? I thought you said that i should never come into this room." She said a little nervous for being in a room that was considered off limits

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

"It's that time, to hatch the praetorians." Thunder Dash explained, as he picked up a cocoon and split it open. Rainbow Dash and Storm Rush did the same. Thunder Dash then made sure the changelings were well and healthy. He then saw Shining Star nervous. He then gently picked her up and began to stroke her to calm her down. 

[MLP Dazzleglow 56]

One by one the praetorians fell out of their cocoons and coughed up the fluids they have been breathing for so long. What looked the the oldest brother got up and went to go check on his younger brothers before realizing that everypony was still in the room. He looked at them with a puzzled look then went back to mending his younger siblings. Shining Star finally built up enough courage to ask. "Daddy, if you and mommy are my parents, why do i look different?" The older changeling looked up at the voice and turned back around saying. "it dose not matter what you look like, the only thing that matters is if you are all happy."

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

Thunder Dash turned into a changeling again. This time he picked up Shining Star and gently put her on his left wing. He then gently vibrated it to confort her. "All they're here for is for extra protection. It's alright. As long as they do their job, everything's gonna be OK." Thunder Dash said continuing to vibrate his wing and stroking Shining Star. 

[MLP Dazzleglow 56]

Shining Star started giggling from the vibrations and the changelings left the room to go and secure different areas. Soon they disappeared and remained hidden watching shining Stars every movement. Shining said while being vibrated "I'm starting to get hungry, whats for lunch?"

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

Thunder Dash stopped vibrating. "Well, there is a new restaurant that just opened a couple of days ago. I heard that they have some delicious burgers there. I also overheard that they serve Apple Fritters for desert." Thunder Dash said. "So if you wanna head over there, change into your pony form and so will I." Thunder Dash said putting Shining Star down and changing back into his pony form. "Yo Rainbow, Storm, let's head to lunch." Thunder Dash said. "Where to?" Rainbow Dash asked. "To this new place that Applejack told me about a couple days ago. She always goes there, just to have the delicious apple fritter." Thunder Dash said. 

 

"That sounds delicious Rainbow Dash said rising into the air excitedly. "Count me in!" Storm Rush said. 

[MLP Dazzleglow 56]

A circle of green fire surrounded Shining Star and when it went out she was her 'normal' pony self. "yay, apple fritters." she said as she bounced in a circle. "I wonder if they have any chocolate. but no matter, there will be hamburgers and apple fritters." she said now flying in a circle going up and down.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

"Alright then, let's head on to the restaurant.  Since it's so popular, it may be crowded. But let's hope we can still find a seat." Thunder Dash said as he rose into the air.

 

When they arrived at the restaurant, it was not as full as they thought. "Ah, welcome. Right this way please." The staff member at the table assignment desk said. Thunder Dash followed behind until they arrived at a booth that seats four. Thunder Dash sat next to Rainbow Dash and Storm Rush sat next to Shining Star. After looking at the menus, Thunder Dash decided he was gonna have a cheese pizza, Storm Rush decided he would have a nice tenderloin steak. Rainbow Dash decided she would have a 1/4 pound burger with a side of fries. "What would you like Shining Star?" Thunder Dash asked. 

[MLP Dazzleglow 56]

"I want a 1/2 pound cheese burger with a side of fries, some chocolate, and some of those delicious apple fritters." she said while looking over the menu causing some of the ponies in the seats around to give some awkward glances in her directions at the mention of chocolate.
