Oh! This is so exciting! I finally met another gender of the human species! I can finally talk to my gender, not that Frank is great company, but there are certain subjects that only females can talk about. If you are wondering, here is a few examples, losing weight, diet, and personal internal feelings. Frank got Amber and Anna to his car, while he was holding me (in my disguise of course). I decided to speak to Frank because we were walking in an empty parking lot.

"Is it alright if I could talk to Amber and Anna in the back seat?" I asked.

His eyes looked to mine, "Sure, that will be fine, but don't be loud."

"What was that?" it was Anna talking behind him.

"I said, don't be loud, because a driver needs his concentration!"

"Well you were talking to Anna loudly when I was driving." Amber spoke.

"Hey! That was only because you had your heavy metal turned up and Anna couldn't hear me."

"Yeah Amber, you did have your music turned up to it's loudest." Anna shuddered, "At least it wasn't that bad from that last experience I went through."

"You mean your brothers?"

"No mother fucking, Jesus Christ! Who else sets up a stereo connected to my alarm clock on my phone to the highest volume possible." she complained.

When she said that, I remembered when Vinyl set up her stereo system to my library, so my customers would relax to some country music, but instead of that we got Wub Step. Thankfully Octavia was able to convince Vinyl to give me access to the system, so I can change the music. I just giggled.

Frank noticed this, "What are you giggling about?"

I cleared my throat, "Well I had a similar experience involving my library, so I can understand what Anna went through."

"Finally! Someone who understands my pain!" Anna praised.

"Oh please!" Amber groaned.

"Would you like to get in that car now?" Frank asked.

Anna and Amber looked at him. He already set me in the passenger seat, opened both back seat doors and sat in the driver's seat. Frank tapped his finger on the wheel waiting for them to stop gawking.

"Dude, you're fast." Anna said.

"Seriously." Amber replied.

* * * * *

Well after that shenanigan; we were now heading towards the mall. I made my way towards the back seat to talk Amber and Anna. For the most part of the conversation, we talked about 'guys' as they would say, but I also talked about other stallions and about my other friends. They asked me a questions that made Frank turn up the music on the radio.

"Do you like Frank?" Amber asked.

"W-what?" I stuttered.

"Let me repeat this question: Do you like, like Frank?" Anna asked.

I lowered down my voice and whispered to them, "No offense to Frank, but I barely know him and I still like him as a friend."

Amber frowned, "I believe he has a crush on you or on one of your friends."

"What?"

"It's true, he does artwork of your six friends, in pony form and in human form." Anna pointed out.

So Frank has a crush on one of my friends that could be me? Oh no! This could either turn good or bad. My mind went through a series of scenarios of what could go right and could go wrong. What if it was Applejack? Frank didn't look like the type of worker to be working on a farm. Rarity? He didn't like fashion that much, but gave some pointers to some that he knew about what he thought about a dress or suit. Fluttershy? He loves dogs and small pets, but nothing that Fluttershy would take care of. Rainbow Dash? Maybe? I don't know if he likes to work out and play sports. Pinkie Pie? He is not as random, but can be at times and likes parties. Me? He loves reading and talks about research that he has done in the past. 'Ugh! I just don't know!' I thought.

I sighed, "Are you joking?"

Amber stared at Anna then at me, "No we're not."

Frank turned down the music, "There seems to be a commotion at the Mall."

"What's wro-" my magic detected a familiar presence.

"Twilight what is wrong?" Frank asked.

"How can she be here?" I asked myself.

"Who's here? One of your friends?" Anna asked.

"Not friend... Enemy." I said.

"Ah!!!!" Frank yelled in pain.

"Frank!!" Amber, Anna and I screamed in unison.

He was serving along the road and there was a flash of green light. We were teleported to another road. Anna and Amber were gone and I was still with Frank, but he was in agony.

"My.... MARKS!!!!" he gasped, "They're burning!!!!"

"Frank! Hold on, I have a healing spell I can use!" I said concentrating.

Once casted, I looked at Frank, but he was still in pain.

"Why isn't it working?"

"AAAHHHHHHHHGGGGG!!!!" he howled.

I looked at his wrists, the princess's cutie marks were filling with color. They were once outline with black markings like when you burn yourself, but these marks were turning into real cutie marks.

Frank turned off the vehicle and jumped out of the door. He landed on the pavement and was grunting pain. A flash of yellow, blue and pink colors surrounded him in an aura. The aura seemed alive and is seeped into his body like a liquid. Once the light disappeared, Frank stopped groaning. I jumped out of my disguise and rushed to him, he was lying on his back and was sweating bullets on his face.

"Frank....?" I asked.

"What happened to me?" he asked.

"I don't know, but the marks on your wrist and probably your chest look like cutie marks." I said.

He raised his hands and looked at his wrists and looked under his shirt.

"I felt a surge of power. It hit me like a truck... Where are Amber and Anna?"

"I... I don't know they were gone when we were teleported at..." I looked around, "I don't even know where we are."

Frank got his phone and called Amber.

"Amber?! Hi! Where are you? What? Your with Anna at S.W.I.C.? We're fine and it looks like were at the back of the mall. Twilight and I are going to investigate what happened, you two just get home safely. Because I CAN Anna! See ya! Bye!" Frank hung up his phone.

"So they're fine?" I asked.

Frank smiled, "Just shaken up, but still standing."

"Well that's good... Oh! That's right, I need to tell you that is important."

"What is it?" he asked.

I took a deep breath, I don't know how, but Chrysalis is here on your world. I sense that she and her changelings are in the mall."

Franks eyes widened, but got up and punched his fist with his hand. It looked like he was excited. I wondered what was going on in his mind and who he had a crush on, but I just shook my head. I saw Frank walking back to the car and he opened up the trunk.

"I kept on wondering why I kept this stainless steel Katana in the back of my car, but now I have a reason to use it." he said.

He grabbed out a sword that was in it's wooden sleeve and pulled out a silver sword that sparkled in the sun light.

I gulped, "Do you know how to use that?"

"Actually, I do. I went through some sword training, but mostly in self defense. I practiced with a wooden sword and made my own offense moves. This sword is only going to the enemies that would hurt my family or loved one, but today is an exception. Today I face the changelings and the Queen to end her rein of terror." Frank stated.

"Frank... You're kind of scaring me."

His face turned and his eyes weren't noticeable and he didn't look happen, but looked scared. I was sensing some trouble from the look on his face, it was like he was in pain.

The face faded away and he smiled, "Sorry, got caught up in the moment."

I made a fake smile, "It's alright."

"Shall we get going then?" he said walking towards the mall.

'I hope that was just my imagination.' I thought.

* * * * *

"The whole place is empty." I stated.

It was true, nothing was inside, no noise, just deserted.

"The police must have evacuated everybody out of the mall, but there is one problem." Frank said.

"What's that?"

"Where is the SWAT team?"

"Who?"

"Special Weapons and Tactics. A team of highly trained professionals that take care of the job... Chrysalis must have capture them."

"Gee, and I thought I was a dictionary."

"Oh! Stop it you!" Frank giggled.

I smiled, "Well anyway, if I were Chrysalis, where would I be?"

"We have a Macy's, and a JC Penny, which are clothing stores. There is also the food court where people can pick what they want to eat for a meal."

"That's a good start, clothing stores can be a great deal of heat to make a Changeling army, or the court which could feed that army."

I felt that were bouncing off our ideas like were partners in sync. Frank was a lot smarter than he seemed, but I'll ask about that in another time. For now lets focus on the main objective. Frank and I searched the Food Court and there was nothing to be seen. Frank hoped over the counter and went to the freezer to find that it was empty. I checked the others and there was no frozen or cooked goods to be seen.

"Guess we were too late finding them in the Food Court." Frank pouted.

"At least you were correct about what they were doing." I acknowledged.

"Now all we have to do is to find them in either Macy's or J.C's... Wait... If all the freezers are empty and there is no food around, then why are the tables and chairs unchanged?"

This caught my attention too, "I have an idea, they might have wings instead of being on the ground, but again not being able to touch a single object in this room, even the trash, makes me think that they have evolved."

"Sweet Celestia that is all holy."

I am now worried about what outcome this will turn without my friends, but I am confident that Frank and I will prevail. If Chrysalis found a way into Frank's world, then I might be able to get back to my home. My ear twictched and I turned my head to the right.

"I hear something." I said.

I slowly crept up and poked my head around a wall. Behind it was a hallway and there was a Changeling looking at a machine filled with stuffed toys. Specifically stuffed toys that looked like me and my friends.

"There's one over here." I whispered.

Frank nodded and tip toed towards my direction. When he saw the Changeling, his expression stayed the same. I was hoping to draw out what was bugging him, but he concealed inside himself quite well.

"It's heading for J.C's." Frank whispered.

I looked back at the Changeling, it flew towards the store and disappeared.

"Why was it looking at the machine?"

"It was probably curious why other ponies were inside the crane machine."

"Hm..."

"Come on, lets try to be stealthy and sneak up on the Queen."

"Alright, but I have a back up plan in case something happens."

"Do you have a back up for the back up plan?"

"Don't start with me." I smiled.

"Oh you."

We made our decent towards the store which would hold a whole Changeling army. We stopped to look at the entrance it was covered with green vines of which a forest might have taken over for over 200 years. Some of the marble flooring still showed, but it was also covered in slime.

"We better not touch the vines, it might disturb the hive." I said.

"Yep, got it. Lets step over then carefully, unless you want to carry me?"

"No thank you." I deadpanned.

In all seriousness, we inched our way into the surprisingly humid room. This was making me suffer, not having a drink of water and Frank was probably thinking of the same thing. Luckily the vines cleared up and we found Chrysalis sleeping with her Changelings in the center of the room.

'Holy Celestia.' Frank mouthed.

'Try not to talk Frank, I am communicating to you through our minds.' I said through his mind.

'Very useful indeed, but I think there is a problem.'

'What's that?'

'Where are the night/day guards?'

'Oh no!'

Just like that the lights turned off and it was completely pitched black. I didn't move an inch, I was wondering what Frank was doing. I turned my head where he was, but I didn't sense him.

'Frank?'

I saw multiple turquoise color eyes open in the room which surrounded me.

'It was a trap.' Frank said to Twilight in thought.

I heard the noise of a sword being drawn out and the light that emitted from the Changelings eye's made the blade glimmer in the darkness.

'Get ready to turn on the lights on my mark.' Frank thought.

This will be another big fight that might end badly for us both. I took a deep breath and thought about my friends.... 'My friends... I miss you.'

"Now!" Frank shouted.

I fired a light illumination spell to blind the Changelings. When the light was going Frank jumped into battle. He swung the blade right though a Changeling's body... Six of them at once... I shook my head and fired a fire spread spell on the slime.

It caught on fire; caught ten Changelings on fire and they burned into a crisp. I focused on another group and fired a freezing spell. It caught seven this time, with Applejack's bucking techniques, I bucked them and they shattered into pieces. I looked to see who else was next, but when I looked. All of them were down. I saw Frank holding his sword, covered in green slime. If I could remember, there were about eighty changelings... I took down seventeen and he just took out the rest with a melee weapon?

"Frank how did you do that?" I asked.

He turned to face me, "I think there is magic running in my veins."

All in seriousness, I am back. I was busy with family, computer issues (finally fixed I think), College (Which I have amazing instructors ever!) and other shenanigans. Hope you liked this long chapter because I am increasing to the 2,000 words and above.

Make sure to comment on what you think of the chapter and I'll have another one soon.
