Upon waking up, I was greeted to an excited Twilight. Yeah, she couldn't wait for me to at least eat before pestering me about my armor...

Still half asleep, I formed another piece of that stuff my armor was made of, and plopped in front of her. "There, go do you 'Science!' now then. Fooooood..."

Two flights of stairs, and one verbal beat down to a guard that would make a drill instructor proud, we reached the kitchen where both the princesses, the other five ponies, who along with Pinkie, I had decided to call their little group the Mane Six.

Still in my hunger and sleep induced daze, I grabbed the nearest piece of food and bit into it, electing several gasps. looking at what I had grabbed, I was surprised to see it was a piece of steak.

"You got a problem with the fact that I eat meat?" several ponies nodded.

Finishing off the steak and grabbing some assorted fruits much to the majority's disgust, I sat between Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, considering they where the only two ponies, minus the Princesses, that weren't grossed out when I ate that steak.

Then this stallion walks in acting like a complete asshat and upon seeing the Mane six, started whining. "Auntie Tiiiiaaaaaa! What are these filthy commoners doing in my kitchen!"

I need coffee before I can deal with this kind of shit...

I had to ask. I leaned over to Dash and whispered. "Hey, who's the smug assclown who acts like he owns the place?" Dash giggled at that.

"That 'assclown is Prince Blueblood."

I nudged her "Watch this."

*SLAM* Bringing my hoof down on the table, I made Blueblood jump in fright, before looking me in the eyes.

"Hey Bluebitch, your mother was a narwhal, and your father was lame, now shut the FUCK up so I can get some coffee... Because when I don't have my coffee, I get grumpy, and when I get grumpy ponies who annoy me tend to get vaporized... or liquified. But YOU. You have pissed me off... you know what that means? by the time im done with you..." I gave him a feral grin, licking my lips. "All that will be left of you is blood stains..." And then I got up, and oh so slowly walked towards him, cackling madly.

Blueblood ran out of theew faster the Sonic the Hedgehog. At about that time me. Dash, and Pinkie, all fell to the floor laughing, while Rarity applauded my acting, Twilight turning green in the facem and Luna smiling like she had seen the most wonderful thing. "Twas wonderful, it was about time somepony put him in his place."

It was about this time Twilight managaed to hold down her food. "So Chitsuki, did you hear that they brought Ponyvilles blacksmith here to try and figure out what your armors made out of?"

"No, but i really want to meet this pony." I promptly go up, and started walking in a random direction.

Finding the blacksmith wasn't that hard, I just hat to follow the sound of clanging metal... Oh who am i kidding, I spent the last 11 hours wandering around before I actually heard the sound. I swear this castle is a fucking Tardis! Upon entering the shop, I saw a tan pegasus banging away at something on her anvil. She appeared to be working diligently on something.

I cleared my throat. "Hey, your that blacksmith I heard they called in to study my armor!"

She turned, and froze, staring at me with wide eyes... Crap! I haven't scared a pony this badly before! "Something wrong?" I tilt my head in confusion.

*Fwoosh* She spontaneously combusted into green flames.

Now I managed to maintain a poker face but, on the inside I was flipping my shit going something along the lines of 'OHMYGODWHATTHEFUCKBARBEQUESAUCE!'

When the flames cleared, in the pegasus's place, was some kind of... bug pony for lack of a better term

"A shape shifter? Fascinating..."

*CLANG* The hammer had dropped out the bug pony's mouth and clattered to the floor, before it flipped the fuck out. "Don't eat me! I don't taste good!" it fucking bolted, only to trip over the hammer it dropped and faceplant.

I gagged upon hearing that. As I stared at her, the only thing going trough my mind was are you fucking kidding me. "Ewww... Why would I eat something capable of rational thought?"

Moving to block the doorway out of concern for it's well being, as I knew a shapeshifter would probably be captured, or god forbid, killed, on sight. It slowly backed away until it bumped against the anvil. It started wailing. "Please don't kill me-he-heee!" I slowly apply hoof to face.

"Wow, just wow. even the foreigners think I'm some kind of monster." I sigh, sit down and motion for it to do the same. "Can we please talk about this like rational beings?"

The bug pony sniffles, tears forming in its eyes. "I-I am, that's why I'm b-begging for my l-life."

*WHAM*

Head, meet floor. Strangely, that didn't hurt."For the love of god. I do not intend to hurt you in any way."

"Y-you're not?"

"Correct"

"But, why?"

"I'm not that so called Nightmare Moon, I may look like her, but that was because she turned me into a 'Perfect host.'"

I swear, from the way its chest was heaving, I thought something was going to burst out of it in a shower of gore, like a chestburster from that one movie i can't remember the name of. "S-so you gave me that metal plate?"

"Yeah that was me. I actually condensed my miasma, for lack of a better term, to form it."

"Miasma?" it tilted it's head in confusion. which by the way looked frigging cute.

"I would show you, but you need to promise me you won't freak out, because even to me it's kinda creepy"

"I've seen a lot of creepy" heh, don't say i didn't warn you...

"very well." Letting a portion of miasma flow from me, I made it coil at the tip of my hoof, before compressing it into a sphere. With a 'shink' the orb broke, leave a ball of azure metal resting in my hoof. I set the orb down on floor gently.

Looking up, I noticed the bug pony trying to hide behind the anvil, looking like it had seen the Grim Reaper itself. upon realizing it was over, it looked at me and said "That was very creepy. Please don't do that again."

I smirked. "I told you you so."

...

...

...

The bug pony spoke up first, breaking the silence like Pinkie apparently breaks logic and physics. "If you're not going to kill me, can you not tell anypony about my? I don't want to start over again."

I nod sympathetically. "Certainly, why would I throw my only friend here out to the hounds?"

I swear a I look of WTF on its face for the briefest of moments before it returned to a neutral-sad look, suddenly finding the floor interesting. "Most ponies think of Changelings as... parasites."

I immediately think of Bluebitch. "Most ponies are raciest bigots. they fear anything different form themselves."

"It's not JUST the ponies. Griffens and dragons try to... to eat us..."

What... The... Fuck! I barely managed to repress my urge to vomit down to a gag. "That's disgusting! Eating a fellow sapient
is unforgivable! Why, when find those glorified pigeons, I'm going to make them WISH I'd killed them. and those flying iguanas? When I get my hooves on those asshats, there will be blood, lots of it, all of it theirs... Oh how I wish I could just nuke the bastards..."

"How did you not know any of that? I mean, I know Changelings are a rare myth for ponies but..." the Changeling seemed unwilling to go any further.

Do I tell it, and risk being called insane, or do I bullshit my way out of this and risk betraying its trust?

That's not really much of a choice...

"Tell me, what do you know about the Multiverse theory?"

"Multi-what?" It asked with a look of disbelief on its face.

"There are an infinite number of universe, every one ever so slightly different from the next" I paused, making sure it was listening. "I was from one of those alternate universes until the Nightmare decided to drag me across the space between them, to here, where she warped my body into what you see now."

The Changling fixed me with a look of 'what is this I don't even...' on its face. "... I've heard crackpot theories before, but that's pretty hard to believe." it paused. "It would be easier to say you have amnesia."

I already had counterargument for that. "That wouldn't explain how I can't figure out how to use my wings, I don't believe that’s something you can just forget."

the changeling gave me a smug look. "If you're an alien, and not really an Alicorn, you shouldn’t be able to use magic either right?" Oh God! it's using logic!

"Magic doesn't require extra limbs, and so far I've only been able to use telekinesis. and anyway..." I'm bringing out the trump card. Yes, I tried to explain the internet to a Changeling.

It stared at me like I'm beyond batshit insane. Then before I could mention what the the internet was REALLY used for, it cut me off. "OKAY! You either insane like the Queen or you really are telling the truth. I'll believe you for now."

"Queen?" Why is the first thing that pops into my head an Xenomorph?

"Kind of like Celestia for Changelings. I've, kind ah turned rogue and ran. That's why I don't want to start over."

Does not compute, why would it run away from someone like Celestia, unless... "She's a power hungry maniac bent on world domination isn't she?"

"The Queens before her were better. Much better."

"Sounds about right." Then it hit me, I had never introduced myself to this Changeling. I giggled at my stupidity. "Say, I never did introduce myself, did I? my names Chitsuki."

"Drone scout number 2-27," With a flash The Changeling re-donned its disguise. A pegasus with a tan coat and a now messy two-tone light and dark gray mane and tail. "Also know as Tattered Ribbon."

Before anything else could be said, the sound of hoofsteaps echoed down the halls.

Ribbon turned back to her work. "You should go now, I have work to do."

Stopping at the door, I bid my farewells. "Hope to see you again sometime Ribbon!"

just as I was about to step out, I noticed the sphere I had created earlier, and gave it a subtle kick so that It rolled towards Ribbon.

Stepping out the door, I passed by Celestia and Twilight. Twilight turned to me with a smile. " I see you've met Ponyvilles resident blacksmith, Tattered Ribbon."

I Smiled knowingly. "Yes I did, and she was quite a fascinating mare..."

I need some sleep...
