“Okay… This should be the house.” Cecil shrugged, approaching the door to what we assumed was Mary’s house.

“Do you just want to knock?” I asked.

“I don’t know…” Cecil shrugged.

I sighed, “Okay. Do you have any other plans?” I asked.

Cecil immediately raised his hand and knocked on the door.

“I bet she isn’t going to answer.” I said.

“Why wouldn’t she?” Cecil asked.

I shrugged, “Just a hunch.” I said.

Cecil scratched his chin. “Go check the window and see if she’s home.” He said.

“Okay.” I said as I checked inside some of the windows. I couldn’t make out anything it was just too dark inside the house. “No one’s home.” I said, walking back to the front of the house.

Cecil grabbed the handle and opened the door. He froze in the doorway and looked inside. “I didn’t… Think it would be unlocked.” He mumbled.

“I don’t think anyone would have.” I said.

“You could say that again…” Cecil mumbled as he looked at the inside, seeing no furniture or anything that would show signs that someone lived here. “I thought Sam was helping her move in, not out.”

“Maybe he wasn’t giving the full story.” I said uncertainly. “Or we’re missing some huge part of it…”

The two of them walked in and looked around the living room. “Maybe… There’s something around here that might have said where she was going?” Cecil said.

“You search one side of the house and I’ll check the other?” I asked.

“Yeah sounds good.” Cecil shrugged.

“Okay if you find something just yell or something.” I said, walking to one side of the house. I entered a bedroom and started looking through the dressers and bedstand. My attention was snapped away as I felt the atmosphere in the room shift. Something moved.

--------------------------------------

Cecil’s POV:

“I’m guessing you didn’t pack any flashlights…” I called. There was no response. “Yeah It was just a joke…” I sighed. I stood up and walked into the bathroom, looking around and scratching my head. I opened the medicine cabinet, looking for anything such as a pill bottle or something. Maybe a doctor’s name that can tell me about her or where she might have left to. By the look of things around here she must have been in a hurry.

I heard something break in the other room, quickly capturing my attention. “Red?” I called.

“Yeah I’m fine.” Red called. “No I’m not.”

I stopped, furrowing my eyebrows as I stared out of the bathroom. “Excuse me?” I said.

“Nothing.” Red said. “No something!”

“I… Huh?” I shouted back.

“Help!” Red shouted. “Don’t help!”

I walked out to the bedroom in time to see two shadowy figures struggling in the corner. “Hello?” I said with a rising uncertainty building inside me.

They both froze and looked at me. Their horns lit up and there was a flash of light. When I uncovered my eyes the room was well lit. In the center of it I saw Red standing there with… Red?

“I… Yo… What?” I stammered, taking a step back.

“Cecil hit him he’s a fake!” One of them said.

“No it’s him!” The other said, pointing to him.

“Oh my god are we really doing this…” I stammered, my eyes darting between the two of them.

“I know! Um… Ask us questions. Only the real one would know.” One suggested.

“Okay uh… When’s my birthday?” I asked.

The two of them looked at each other and stayed silent.

I stopped and stared at them. “Really… Really man?” I said.

“Sorry…” They both said.

“Oh!” One said. “Rainbow Dash’s birthday is in December.”

I paused for a moment, staring at the ground.

“Oh my god you don’t even know her birthday…” The one said.

“Hey you didn’t know mine!” I said defensively.

“That doesn’t mean… Okay fine.” Red mumbled.

“Hey look I’m sorry… Maybe we should get to know each other’s wives better.” I suggested.

“Are you… Suggesting… We swing?” Red asked, taken aback by the question.

“What?! No!” I said quickly.

“Well I sure di- Wait…” Red said, looking around the room. “Weren’t there… Two of me…?”

The two of us quickly spun around to see the other one running out the door.

“Bastard!” We both shouted, running after him immediately.

Red and I sprinted after him, chasing him outside and around the corner. Red’s horn lit up as he tried to trip him or do something, but the fake’s shot up at the same time, canceling Red’s out.

“Is… That… Sam?” I panted as we continued to chase him.

“I don’t… know…” Red said through his heavy breaths. “If… it is… him… then we… need to catch him…”

After we passed the edge of town he stopped and… Waited for us?

Red and I stopped. “What’s… He doing?” I asked.

“I’d guess… he wants to… show us something? Or… lead us into a trap…” Red said uncertainly.

“Maybe we should get h-”

-------------------------------------------------

“Ju… Just let… Me rest for a moment…” Chrysalis panted heavily.

“But it’s only been five hours…” I said, tilting my head.

“I… I can’t…” Chrysalis mumbled.

“Okay.” I shrugged, pulling my dick out of her over stretched pussy and watching as my cum poured from her snatch. I crawled beside her and wrapped my arms around her, nuzzling my head against her chest. I felt her hands run through my hair and her body as warm as always.

“You’re such an animal…” She laughed quietly as her hands continued to rake through my hair tenderly.

“And that’s bad?” I asked, biting down on her nipple.

She let out a sharp yelp, immediately overwhelmed by moaning. “Naughty…” She said with bated breath.

“You know me… Sometimes I just can’t help myself…” I said softly as I slid a finger down to her pussy, smearing some of the still warm cum dripping from her slit around it and onto her clit. It was immediately followed by a loud moan as her wings extended outward. I immediately climbed back on top of her, grabbing her legs and pushing them back so her knees rested on either side of her head. My throbbing member was already expanding, it’s veins pulsating as the tip rubbed against her soaked entrance.

“Sam… We just finished.” She said, biting her lip as she stared at me.

“I didn’t hear a ‘no’ in that sentence…” I whispered before leaning down and kissing her. She moaned softly and put a hand on my cheek as she melted immediately.

There were footsteps as a changeling entered. “My lieges… We’ve captured a couple stragglers… They were snooping around in t-” He said.

“I’M BUSY!” Chrysalis snapped angrily.

“I… I was just…” The changeling stammered.

“Leave right now or b-” Chrysalis started. Her eyes shot open and her head slammed back into the pillow as I thrust into her, forcing a scream from her mouth.

I turned back to the changeling. “This can only contain her for so long… So I suggest you leave.” I said, twisting her clit. Her eyes rolled back and she started bucking her hips.

The changeling nodded quickly and turned around, bolting out of the room.

----------------------------------------------

Red’s POV:

“Red? You awake?” I heard a familiar voice say.

I opened my eyes, only to realize that I couldn’t see. There was a blindfold around my head. “Cecil?” I questioned hazily.

“Yeah it’s me.” He said.

“What’s… going on?” I questioned quietly.

“I don’t know… I just woke up. I can’t see anything.” He said.

“Me neither…” I mumbled, trying to shake the blindfold off and maybe catch a glimpse of my surrounding. It was secured tightly around my head and all I was succeeding in doing was making myself dizzy.

“Quit your squirming.” A raspy voice echoed into the room.

I froze as my head jerked towards the direction of whoever spoke. “What…” I said uncertainly.

“The Queen will be with you shortly. Enjoy the time you have left.” The voice laughed before trailing off and out of the room.

“This is really bad…” I said, attempting uselessly to get my hands unbound.

“What do… we do?” Cecil asked.

“I… don’t know…” I said quietly.

There was a click as it sounded like the door was unlocked. Shortly after I heard footsteps getting closer.

“Let us go.” I said.

“Well I want to know why you’re here first.” A familiar voice said.

“W… Sam?” Cecil questioned hesitantly.

A moment later my blindfold was taken off and I saw Sam kneeled down in front of me. “Hi.” He said.

“Wh… We…” I mumbled uncertainly.

“I knew you two were my best friends! It’s awesome you came to visit me.” Sam smiled, hugging the two of us painfully tight.

“N… No… we… came… to find you… because… of what… you did to Twilight…” I grunted.

“Tw… What happened to her?” Sam asked quickly.

“Sh-” I was cut off as my mouth was forced shut by a green aura.

“I think that’s quite enough.” A woman’s voice said. I glanced to the door to see a tall female changeling walk in.

“Who are you?” Cecil asked.

“You may call me Chrysalis. I am the Queen of this hive.” She cooed in an almost bored tone. My jaw instantly relaxed as I felt the magical grip disappear. “Sam why don’t you wait for me in my chambers. I shall release them. Forgive me for the simple misunderstanding.”

“It’s okay. The guards were just doing their jobs.” Sam smiled, kissing Chrysalis on the cheek before walking out of the room.

My lip twitched as I tried to contain myself.

Chrysalis shut the door and locked it. “Oh come now Red… You shouldn’t be too angry.” She sighed.

I glared at her, “Why not?” I asked.

She walked up and put a hand on my cheek. “Because… He was never hers to begin with.” Chrysalis laughed. “I merely brought him home.”

“If that’s true then why was it important to stop me from telling him what happened?” I asked.

“Because that might give him some doubt. And we can’t let that happen now can we? He is perfect in every way, built to work and adapt to anyone. But there is one thing that he has that we need.” She said.

“What… is that?” I asked uncertainly.

“A heart of course.” She chuckled. “We changelings feed on love. That one emotion that seems to power almost everything in Ponyville, and most of equestria. But he’s special, in that instead of needing it… He can give it away. He… is… perfect. That’s why I’m going to let you go.”

“What?” I asked uncertainly.

“We need love to survive, and Sam is the only source of that here. And unless you want us to starve, or continue to attack your world… You’ll stay quiet, and tell Twilight Sparkle nothing that went on down here. Or will you be the one to doom an entire race because of the selfish needs of the few, instead of the needs of the many?” She asked.

“I…” I mumbled.

“The choice is yours. I must keep Sam happy… He is not only my king… He is hope. And whether you believe it or not, I love him… And I need him. So I can’t lie to him as much as I should need to. If you should be kept here he would get suspicious, so I am letting you go.” She said, reluctantly standing up. Her magic sparked to life and both mine and Cecil’s bonds were broken.

“You… I don’t…” Cecil stammered.

There were footsteps and Sam walked in again, glancing at the two of us happily. “Sorry I just wanted to say goodbye personally. I’m sure I wouldn’t mind visiting occasionally. Yo-” He froze, staring at me. “Are you alright?”

Chrysalis stared at me intently.

I nodded, “Y… yeah.” I said. “I’m fine.”

“Great!” Sam said. He walked up and put a hand on the two of us, followed by a green flash. When I opened my eyes we were in the middle of Ponyville.

“I… I guess we found out what happened… but…” I said. “I… also guess… we didn’t…”

“We… Should tell everyone what happened.” Cecil said hesitantly.

“We should… but are… are we?” I asked.

“I… I don’t know.” He shrugged.

“Tell them what?” Sam asked.

I jumped a little, “What the…” I stammered.

“Oh sorry… I was just listening to your conversation. I didn’t mean to intrude.” Sam said apologetically.

“N… no it’s just… you here…” I mumbled.

“What? You didn’t think I was just going to dump you off here?” Sam asked quizzically.

“No?” I said uncertainly, glancing at Cecil.

“Well I uh… Actually think I should head home… I need to think about a few things…” Cecil said quietly. “It’s good seeing you again Sam…”

“You too.” Sam nodded, waving Cecil off. He looked at me and his expression changed to a more distant look. “How has Twilight been?”

I froze and bit my lip. “Good…” I lied.

Sam stared off towards her house. “Is she happy?” He asked.

I remained quiet and stared at the ground.

“Red?” Sam asked, putting a hand on my shoulder.

“Sam… we all… thought you were gone…” I said quietly.

“Well I was gone.” Sam said, tilting his head curiously.

“And… we were looking for you because of what…” I stopped myself.

“What?” Sam asked. “Red… As far as friends go, you’re one of the best ones I’ve got. You can tell me anything.”

I bit my lip. “Yes.” I said.

“What?” Sam said, raising an eyebrow.

“Yes she is happy.” I said, feeling my heart tighten in my chest.

Sam smiled. “Well that’s all that matters right?” He said, a few tears falling down his face.

“Sam I…” I mumbled.

Sam shook his head. “I’m fine. It was good seeing you again…” He said shakily before disappearing.

I closed my eyes for a few moments before taking a deep breath in. For the first time, I looked around and recognized I was in the park. I walked up to one of the benches and sat down, slumping down to mirror the pain I was feeling inside.

“So what did you two talk about?” A voice said, a very familiar voice that made my heart sink and my stomach knot up. I slowly looked up to see Rainbow Dash hovering over me and glaring down at me with an importunate and angry look.
