>You wake up the next morning.

>You give a quiet, adorable yawn as to sit up.

>Your mind is a tad blank from last night, so you had forgotten that you slept in Chrysalis' room.

>The fluffy blanket and the large figure next to you tipped you off, though.

>You move the blankets some to inspect yourself.

>Wet... Again. But by now, you're already used to it.

>You had a dream about Luna last night... Almost like she was searching for you.

>But your mind kept feeling fuzzy... You shrugged it off as your subconscious trying to mess with you.

>Chrysalis stirs next to you, rolling over toward you quietly.

>"Good morning, little Annie. Sleep well?"

>You nod slightly.

>Chrysalis giggles some before giving you a light raspberry on your exposed stomach.

>You didn't even notice that your onesie was off... But you coat's color certainly did get much darker.

>"Did little Annie have a bad dream?"

>You go to respond, but stop before saying anything.

"How did you know?"

>She gives off another soft giggle.

>"You tossed and turned a lot. Common for little ones with nightmares."

"...Oh."

>You look down at the blankets quietly before yawning again.

>Chrysalis stretches before picking you up and going through your morning routine.

>Changing, playing, feeding. That's how it went now.

>Still, you enjoyed the time you two had together.

>Chrysalis took you out of the room and sat you on your little princess throne.

>It even had your name written on it.

>You tilted your head back to try and read it...

>But silly you, you're reading it upside down!

>Chrysalis takes her own seat and watches as you struggle to read your own upside down name.

>"It says Annie. I had it done just for you."

>She gently pats your head, which entices a giggle from you.

"Oh, right. Silly me."

>You give the widest smile as you drink away from your bottle.

>Chrysalis gave her usual morning speech.

>You idly sat there and looked around at the crowd.

>They all seemed so ecstatic and energetic today...

>Was this your doing? Did you have the power to do this?

>You looked up at Chrysalis.

>Even she radiated with energy.

>Before, when you first came here, she seemed to snarl and be more threatening when she gave her speeches.

>But today, she seemed lively and happy.

>Just the thought of that made you smile brightly.

>Some of the Changelings in the front row couldn't help but point at you and smile.

>Chrysalis finished her speech and waved the crowd off.

>The majority of them dispersed, some of them going outside and some staying inside.

>You wondered what she meant by "scouting."

>Sighing softly, Chrysalis looks over at you.

>"Now that the speech is out of the way... How about we do something fun, Annie?"

>She holds you in the air with her magic and extends your new wings.

>Wait, wings? When did they...?

>You remember feeling something off on your back this morning, but didn't expect it to be wings.

>You look a bit surprised.

"What do you have in mind, mommy?"

>The Queen gives you a sly grin.

>"Potty training?"

>Your eyes widen and jaw drops open.

"No! I don't wanna! Lemme go..!"

>You struggled and struggled, but couldn't break free of the magical grip.

>Chrysalis merely chuckles and nuzzles you.

>"I'm just kidding. How about we teach you to fly?"

>Flying... One thing you were never able to do.

>That, and magic.

>Still, you nodded.

"O-okay.."

>Chrysalis carries you out to the open field you saw earlier in the week.

>It was much prettier in person.

>She sets you down.

>"I'm sure you've seen us... And Pegasi flying, no?"

"Yeah, tons of times."

>"Well, it isn't as easy as it seems, little Annie."

>You stand up a bit shakily, but attempt to balance yourself.

>Chrysalis flutters her wings a bit.

>"Try moving your wings some. See if you can control them."

>You look back at one and concentrate.

>You keep trying and trying...

>BLORT.

>Your face scrunches up a bit.

"I uh..."

>You look about ready to cry from embarrassment.

>Chrysalis clicked her tongue and sat down in front of you.

>"Aww... What's the matter, Annie? Had an accident?"

>Out of instinct, you waddled to her and hugged her tightly with your tiny foal hooves.

"Uh huh..."

>Chrysalis smiled warmly and stroked your mane.

>"It's alright little princess. Things happen. You just..."

>She paused to chuckle some at the thought.

>"You just need to get used to controlling your new body, is all."

>You look up at her, tears still flowing a bit.

"...Really?"

>She nods and kisses your forehead.

>"Really. Why don't we give it another go?"

>You nod a bit.

>All that afternoon, the two of you kept practicing wing control and flight.

>You weren't exactly good at it... But you eventually figured out how to flutter your wings.

>Chrysalis seemed very pleased that you learned so fast.

"Look, mommy! I can do it too!"

>You run around her, flapping your wings some.

>You pretended that you were an airplane.

>Chysalis giggled some.

>"Careful now, or you might fly away!"

>She flapped her own wings, floating off the ground some.

>You stopped and looked at her as she idly flew around.

"Woooow.. I wish I could do that..."

>You looked down at the ground, sulking a bit.

>Chrysalis stopped in front of you, landing on the grass softly.

>"You will hun.. It just takes a lot of practice, is all."

>She picks you up gently and holds you in her hooves.

"You're just saying that. I bet you did it on the first try!"

>The comment made her laugh some.

>"Actually, no! I took me weeks before I could fly! I was the worst of my generation, even with a private instructor!"

>You looked at her quietly as she went on.

>"I had such a hard time trying to fly that I almost gave up. Even my mother was worried that I wouldn't be able to do it."

>She looked out at the setting sun.

>You followed her gaze and marveled at the sight.

>Chrysalis grew silent as she went into deep thought.

>You two simply shared the moment for the time being. You felt really connected with her.
