Young Love

Chrysalis woke up to find that her new sisters had joined her and their Mistress in their Mistress's bed some time throughout the night. She decided to make her new family a magnificent breakfast to make up for her interruption of their Hearts and Hooves Day. Chrysalis maneuvered her way out of the bed without waking up anypony else. She left the room and walked around the castle. She found herself in the kitchen, exactly where she had wanted to be. She took a seat next to the stoves and everything else and looked down at her barrel and rubbed it happily. She was so thankful for her Queen giving her a new child. There was no way she could possibly repay her owner for this, so she would be the best behaved pet she could possibly be.

Chrysalis was a little upset that all of her eggs had fused into one, but she would never complain about having a child with her Queen. She was happy that she even had one foal with her Mistress. Besides, the fact that all of her eggs fused into one as well as being fertilized by her Mistress's divine Alicorn cum only meant that this foal would be incredibly powerful and amazing. Her barrel had shrunk down considerably from when she was initially inseminated by her Goddess, but it was still obvious she was pregnant. Her eggs absorbed most of her Queens' Alicorn cum and fused into one egg soon after, the former changeling ruler absorbing the rest of her owner's essence.

Her body was newly improved from absorbing her Mistress's Alicorn cum as well as being fed so much love through out the night from her Queen and her new sisters. She was no longer frail and weak, she was now much stronger, way more powerful and healthy than she ever was before. Her coat had changed from being jet black to a very dark shade of purple. her eyes also had a bit of purple mixed into them. Her mane in tail had remained the same, but there was a few streaks of purple the same shade as the streaks in her Goddess's mane and tail. She owed all of this to her Queen. The thought of having a new family that loved her and that she no longer had to live on the streets, barely surviving, and living in fear that she would be discovered every single day had her tearing up in joy. She heard the telltale clip clop of hooves on crystal as somepony entered the kitchen. Chrysalis turned around from her spot near the stoves and saw that Tempest had joined her in the kitchen. She smiled at her new sister and waved in greeting. The Byzantium unicorn smiled back at the changeling before trotting over to her.

"Good Morning, Chryssi~!" The byzantium unicorn greeted happily.

"Good Morning, Tempest." Chrysalis returned before getting down from her seat and hugging her sister. Tempest returned the hug and rubbed her hoof along Chrysalis's pregnant belly.

"It feels great to know that Mistress's child is growing inside of you, doesn't it?" Tempest asked as she separated from their hug and gave Chrysalis a knowing look.

"Did Mistress give you a foal as well?" Chrysalis asked as her eyes widened.

"Yes she did. Just a week ago!" Tempest said happily with a big smile. She looked down at her own barrel and rubbed it happily.

“I see.” Chrysalis said as she grew a downtrodden look on her muzzle.

“What’s wrong?” Tempest asked with concern.

“Changeling Queens go through pregnancies differently than normal ponies. Especially if they only have one foal growing inside of them opposed to the normal for changelings of over 20 eggs. My foal could be born anywhere from next week to two months from now.” Chrysalis explained to the Byzantium unicorn.

“Okay. And...?” Tempest asked as her new sister still looked downtrodden.

“That means I will have my foal before you do. I’ll be the first to bear our Mistress’s foal, not you, as you obviously wanted to be.” She explained further, flinching back when Tempest gave her a look.

“I’m sor-“ Chrysalis was interrupted by Tempest’s hoof shushing her.

“Chryssi, I’m not mad at you for having a child with Mistress. Not after hearing what you have been through. I’m not petty enough to be mad that somepony will have Mistress’s child before me. I’m just happy that she was kind enough to give me her foal in the first place.” Tempest told her sister before pulling her into a hug which the changeling returned in full.

“Thank you...big sister.” Chrysalis said as tears of relief streamed down her muzzle. Tempest smiles at her words and tightened her embrace on the changeling.

“Don’t mention it....little sister.” Tempest replied.

"Good morning, Aunt Tempest." A tired young male voice sounded from the kitchen entrance. The two mares turn around to see none other than Ray standing there in his red Dragon Ball pajamas. He stretched his arms and yawned before looking back at Tempest to see that there was somepony else that he hadn't met yet next to her.

"Oh! Hello, Lady! My name's Ray! What's your name? Are you going to be another one of my aunts?" He greeted with rapid fire questions when he spotted Chrysalis.

"Hello there, Ray. My name is Chrysalis. And I'm not sure. Who are your parents?" Chrysalis responded without missing a beat.

"Mom and Mommy are my parents! Oh wait you mean their names... Mommy is Sunset Shimmer and Mom is Twilight, my brothers mom!" Ray answered.

"Oh, well if Sunset is your mother than I do believe I am one of your aunts now, Ray." Chrysalis told the youngest dragon brother.

"Awesome! It's nice to meet you, Auntie Chryssi! Man I gotta tell Spike about this!" He exclaimed before running off to find his older brother.

"You handled the pretty well." Tempest said in awe.

"Hey what can I say? I'm great with children." Chrysalis responded with a smirk.

"Anyways, could you help me make a breakfast for everypony?" The changeling asked.

"Sure I can, little sis!"

Twilight and her three other pets walked into the kitchen soon after this and found a grand breakfast waiting for them.

"Good Morning Mistress! Sisters!" Chrysalis greeted happily from the stoves as she had just finished with the finishing touch to the meal. Tempest helped her place everything out for the six of them when everything was finished.

"Mmm. Smells delicious, Chryssi~!" Twilight said as she took a seat at the head of the table. Everypony took there own seats after a while and Twilight gestured for Chrysalis to sit next to her.

Chrysalis sat next to her owner happily and nuzzled into her Mistress when she started petting her, paying special attention to her pregnant belly.

"How are our children?" She asked, "Good I hope."

"Child, my Queen. A Princess if I'm not mistaken." Chrysalis said with a smile, "She will be the strongest Changeling I've ever had the honor of birthing, and it's because of you Mistress. Thank you."

“Umm...good morning Mom. Good morning uh, Chrysalis. Good to see you…?” Spike said from the doorway, cautiously taking a seat next to Twilight. “I'm uh, not sure how I feel about this yet, but thanks for the pancakes I guess…?”

“You don't need to be suspicious of her Spike.” Twilight said as she gave him a side hug.

“I know that Mom, if you trust her then that's good enough for me. It's just a little weird having somepony who invaded Equestria as a step-mom.”

“Ahem” Tempest said from across the table.

“Oh, uh..sorry Tempest. I just need to get used to it that's all.” He said, stacking his plate with Ruby and Sapphire pancakes,

“Just give me a week or two and I'll be fine.”

“Well that's good to hear Spike, I was afraid you wouldn't trust me after everything I did to your mother.” Chrysalis said happily.

“Eh, water under the bridge. That was what, five years ago? I'm over it.” the dragon said with a shrug, before digging in to his pancakes.

“Spike!” Twilight chided, “Slow down when you eat! You've got syrup all over your face!”

“Oh please, like you have room to talk Miss 'I love hayburgers’” Spike said as he rolled his eyes.

“Excuse me, Mister Sparkle? There's a miss Sweetie Bell here to see you.” Sunbeam said from the door.

“What?!?! Sweetie is here?!? I'm not ready! I've gotta buff my scales, and brush my fangs a few times, and and…”

“Spike! Calm down! Use the breathing technique I taught you.” Twilight said, going through the motions with him, “In, out, in out.”

Thirty seconds later, she was cleaning a much calmer Spike's face. “All you need to do is stay calm son. Just because your crush showed up unexpectedly is no reason to panic. I want you to go out there, look her in the eye the entire time, and not stutter. Think you can handle that?”

“I-i think so.”

“Well I know so.” She said, giving Spike a kiss on the forehead, making her pet's D'awww at the scene.

“Mom! You're embarrassing me…” he said, turning away. Only to steal a quick hug and whisper, “Thanks Mom, I love you.”

“I love you too sweetie.” Twilight whispered back, shooing him out the door before he lost his nerve. Looking to her pets, she found four ponies smiling sweetly at her, one baby dragon eating pancakes, and one Changeling puking into the kitchen sink.

“Chrysalis? Are you alright?” Twilight asked in concern.

"I'm-blargh,I-I'm alright. I just haven't absorbed this much love in, well, ever. My body needs to, blargh, adapt to holding this much of it.” She said, wiping the pink liquid off her lips.

“But did I hear correctly? Spike has a crush?!” She asked excitedly

“Oh yes! But I'm fairly certain that it's just a foalhood crush. He'll probably grow out of it.” Twilight said with dismissive wave of her hoof.

“I wouldn't be so sure Mistress. While I admit that most foalhood crushes are just that, the love I felt coming from Spike, despite being laced with panic, has great potential to grow stronger. I'd have to get a feel for Sweetie's feelings to be certain, but I think there is potential for a real relationship.” Chrysalis explained to her Queen.

“Alright Spike you can do this.” The dragon thought to himself.

“All you have to do is follow Mom's advice and you can get through this without embarrassing yourself.”

“Miss Sweetie Bell is waiting in the main library.”

“Thanks Sunbeam. Did she tell you what she needed me for?”

“Yes, something about helping her with a bake sale I believe.”

“Thanks Sunbeam.” Spike said, giving her a small wave as she made her way back to her office.Gathering his courage, the dragon pushed open the door and set off to find his crush.

Sweetie Belle was lazing around in one of the many bean bag chairs dotted around the library, skimming a book on dragon physiology and behaviors when she heard Spike calling her name.

“I'm over here!” She yelled as she scrambled to find a different book and hide her current one. Finding a decently sized book, she quickly sat back down and cracked it open

"Hey Sweetie! Uh, are you reading a dictionary?" Spike asked as he walked up to her.

"Ah, Crap Baskets" She thought to herself as she actually looked at the book she chose.

"Uh, yeah! So many interesting....words." She said, trying her best not to burn with embarrassment. I can't believe this! Spike is going to think I'm a total nerd!

“I'm impressed Sweetie.” Spike said.

“What? Really?” She gasped in disbelief.

“Yeah! Most filly's your age couldn't care less about improving their vocabulary. Yet here you are reading a dictionary for Celestia's sake! I mean, I've already got it memorized, but I could give you a few tips if you want.”

“Um, sure. That would be...nice.” she said with a slightly broken smile.

“Awesome!” He said, joining Sweetie on the beanbag chair and taking the book from her magical grasp. He then spent the next hour regailing her with surprisingly useful tips on memorization.

He decided that was enough for the day when he thought he heard the sound of gears grinding coming from Sweetie.

“So you had something you wanted to talk to me about?” he said, closing the dictionary, “Sunbeam said something about a bake sale?”

“What? Oh! Right! The school is having a bake sale to raise money for our trip the Crystal Empire, and I was hoping you could help us. Or more specifically, help me. Scootaloo asked Rainbow, who asked Pinkie Pie, who of course said yes, and Applebloom asked Applejack, but when I asked Rarity she told me to ask you. And she had this weird smile on her face when she told me to ask you, I wonder what that was about. Anyway, will you help me? Please?” She said, seemingly unaware she had just stolen Pinkie's schtick.

“Um, well…” Spike said, still recovering from her verbal bombardment, “I guess? I mean, yes! I would love to help you!”

“Really?!? Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!” She said, giving him a kiss on the cheek and running off to tell Rarity, and yelling “I'll see you tomorrow!” over her shoulder, leaving Spike alone in the library.

A brief excerpt from Sweetie’s diary later that night:

Dear diary,

I'm in love with the biggest nerd EVER! He's memorized the dictionary! THE DICTIONARY! Who does that?!? But he did somehow manage to make reading a DICTIONARY fun.

Spike's brain was desperately trying to process what had just happened, but he just kept thinking the same thing, she kissed me. She kissed me. Chrysalis found him there hours later, still with a dopey grin on his face.

“Spike? Spiiike?” She said, waving a hoof in front of his face, “Oh dear. Mother told me about this. I never thought I'd see it myself! I wonder what it tastes like…”

As she opened up her mouth and began absorbing love, she was looking forward to tasting young love. Until she tasted it.

It was the most sickly sweet thing she'd ever tasted. She instinctively spat it back out...right onto Spike, jolting him from his trance.

”Wh-what happen….” He said before his eyes rolled back and he fainted from contact to raw love.

Chrysalis instantly realized her mistake, “Oh fuck! He won't be awake for at least another 15 minutes! Uhggg! I'm gonna have to bring him to his room myself.”` she said levitating him and trotting off to the room he shared with Ray.

Vinyl had been given strict instructions by Captain Tempest to follow Chrysalis and make sure nothing happened to her. Instead she had witnessed the Changeling seemingly drugging Spike and taking him off to Faust knows where!

“I've gotta tell Twilight!” She said tearing her way through the Castle, and shoulder checking the thankfully enchanted doors to the Throne room. She barreled her way to in front of Twilight.

“Miss Twilight! Huff, huff, Spike! Captured...by...Chrysalis!”

“WHAT?!?!?!?” Twilight screamed in shocked rage, making everypony on the room take a step back on instinct. The Alicorn leaped from her throne, landing in front of Vinyl with enough force to crack the magical crystal.

“SHE DID WHAT!!!” she yelled in the mare’s face, using all her self control not to shake her for all she was worth.

“WHERE IS SHE!!!” she yelled in the mare’s face, once again using all her self control not to shake her for all she was worth.

“I-I don't know! I think she was heading towards the residential area of the castle!” Vinyl said, causing Twilight to take the shortest route to Spike, by surrounding herself in a nigh indestructible shield and barreling through the wall.

She was following a tracking spell she had put on Spike shortly after realizing how truly dangerous Ponyville could be.

Meanwhile, Chrysalis had reached Spike's room and gotten most of the love off of him. She was now trying unsuccessfully to wake I'm up.

“Spike. Spike. SPIKE! Hmm. I really underestimated how supercharged that love was.” She said, rubbing her chin with a hoof, “Ah! I know!”

Leaning down so her muzzle was the same height as his ear frills, she mimicked Sweetie's voice and said,

“Oh Spikey, it's time for our date!” Causing him to bolt up and say:

“Date?!? Where! When! Why?!” Seeing that her idea worked, Chrysalis dropped her Sweetie Belle disguise.

“Easy Spike, you fainted in the library because...well...Let's just say I made a mistake and leave it at that.” Chrysalis informed the baby dragon.

“Ewww! What's this pink stuff?” He said, picking some out from between his scales.

“Oh, well, that's 'liquid love’. It's uh, what I eat.” Chrysalis said as she rubbed her neck awkwardly.

“Like I said, mistakes were made.” She said sheepishly.

"Wait, you tried to eat my love!?" Spike exclaimed in horror.

"It wouldn't have taken away your feelings or harmed you, and it was only gonna be a little I swear!" Chrysalis rushed out.

"I just wanted to see what young love tasted like because of how much my Mom talked about it before she..." Chrysalis trailed off sadly, having reminded herself of her mother's unfortunate...passing. She jolted slightly when she felt a small for cling to her. Looking down, she saw that is was Spike hugging her.

"Hey, it's ok, Chryssi. I'm not mad at you." He assured the much bigger and older than him mare.

"R-Really?" She whispered hopefully.

"Really." Spike confirmed before pulling away and looking up at Chrysalis.

"I can't claim to understand how changelings work, but I'm not an idiot. I can tell that you didn't mean any harm, that you were just curious." Spike explained to Chrysalis before continuing.

"I can also tell that you suddenly became really sad and judging by what you said before that sad expression appeared on your face, it has something to do with your Mom. Am I right?" He finished.

"...y-yes." Chrysalis admitted, slightly surprised with just how intelligent the baby dragon truly was.

"...M-Mom died when I was just a teenager." Chrysalis informed the purple and green dragon, not wanting to indulge in any further about her mother.

"I'm sorry for your loss, Chrysalis. I wouldn't even begin to know what I would do if I lost my own Mom." Spike said before hugging the Changeling once more. Chrysalis gave him a soft smile and returned the little dragon's hug.

"None of us would know what to do if Mistress died somehow. But you don't have to worry about that, Mistress won't ever leave any of us." Chrysalis said tenderly while rocking the young dragon comfortable in her embrace. Spike looked up at the mare that was hugging him and smiled back.

"Yeah, you're completely right with that statement." Spike said before hugging her tighter. Spike then gave Chrysalis a wide grin.

“Wow! You're really good at being a comforting mother!" He told her. Chrysalis blushed at the dragon's compliment.

"Well, I was a mother of an entire species. I like to think I'm pretty good at this sort of thing." Chrysalis said, refusing to dampen the mood once more with more bad memories and focused on the here and now.

"Heheh. I guess that makes sense." Spike said as he too grew a blush.

*CRASH*

"EEP!"

both the baby dragon and pregnant changeling clung to each other as they yelped in fright when the wall to the room suddenly exploded.

A little bit earlier.

Twilight barreled her way through her castle towards where Spike was. Tears flowing freely from her eyes. The lavender Alicorn was a maelstrom of emotions right now.

"Why? Why would she do this?" She sobbed to herself.

"Was all of this just a huge trick?" She continued.

"Did Chrysalis really play me for a fool? Does our child mean nothing to her!?" She cried. Anger, hurt, sadness, and the most prominent of all of them; betrayal. These were all emotions that Twilight was currently feeling. Soon, Twilight plowed through the last wall that separated her from her child and Chrysalis.

"EEP!" She heard both the voices of the two in question yelp in shock. When the dust cleared enough for her to see the two beings she was frantically searching for, Twilight saw that Spike was clutching to Chrysalis in fright and had his face buried into her. The changeling was holding him in a protective manner.

Chrysalis was able to see through the dust soon too and had realized just who had come through the wall.

"Spike, it's okay, it's nothing dangerous, it's Mistress." Chrysalis told the frightened dragon softly. Spike peered out from Chrysalis's Bodie and saw that it was indeed Twilight standing in there in the gaping hole that was once the wall to his room.

"M-Mom? What the heck! Why did you burst through the wall like the kool-aid guy!?" He exclaimed from Chrysalis's embrace.

Twilight was properly confused at the current moment. She was told by somepony she trusted that Chrysalis had kidnapped her baby, but here they were inside of Spike's room and sharing a heartwarming embrace.

"What's going on!?" She demanded. Chrysalis flinched at the tone in her owner's voice and folded her ears back subconsciously.

"Um, what do you mean, Mom?" Spike inquired.

"What are you doing here in this room!?" She demanded with the same tone.

"Chrysalis brought me here after I uh, fainted." Spike answered.

"What!?" Now she was even more confused and worried.

"After I left the dining room, I wandered around the castle before finding myself in the library with Spike right after he had met with Sweetie Belle. Who I presume must have kissed him on the cheek or something along those lines because when I went to talk to Spike, he was in a trance." Chrysalis spoke softly in a very submissive manner, as she was a little scared at the moment. When her Queen remained silent, she took that as a sign to continue explaining, so that's what she did.

"I tried and failed to get his attention and he remained in his trance like state. When I saw the pleased expression on his face, I realized he was going through something my Mom talked highly of when I was a child; young love. I wanted to taste just a little bit of it, it wasn't going to affect him in anyway!" She rushed out when she saw her Queen's expression turn very angry. She calmed down at the assurance from Chrysalis and remained rational and let her continue.

"I uh, I spat it back out when I tasted it as it was extremely, sickly sweet." Chrysalis paused as she shuddered at the memory.

"When I spat it out, it landed on Spike's face. Being in contact with raw love caused him to faint so I brought him to his room to lay him down in his bed." Chrysalis finished with her explanation.

"It was just an accident and a misunderstanding!" Twilight said to herself before heaving a huge sigh of relief.

"Thank Celestia it was just a misunderstanding!" She thought to herself. She walked over to the two and wrapped them both in a loving hug.

"Spike, why don't you go with Sweetie Belle and offer to help her out for the rest of the day with that bake sale." Twilight told her son.

"But it's not until tomorrow!" Spike informed his Mom.

"Then help her prepare with everything. She will be happy to have your company." Twilight insisted.

"Well, alright, if you insist. I'll see everypony later!" He said before worming his way out of the two bigger mares and hurriedly ran out of the room and made his way out of the castle.

Once they were alone, Twilight grasped her pregnant pet in a tight, loving embrace.

"I'm so, so, sorry my love." She cried as she held the smaller mare in her hooves.

Chrysalis was completely taken aback by this. Why was her Mistress apologizing to her? Chrysalis nuzzled her owner softly before asking that very question.

"I...I thought that you had betrayed me and kidnapped Spike." Twilight admitted.

"WHAT!?" Chrysalis shouted in disbelief, tears flooding her vision. Did her Mistress not trust her? What did she do wrong to give Mistress that impression?

"I thought Mistress believed in me understood everything about my past. Why would she think that I would betray her!?" She thought to herself. She looked Twilight in the eyes as best as she could since her eyes were currently waterfalls with tears.

"W-Why would you think such a thing?" Chrysalis sobbed in despair. Twilight opened her muzzle to answer, but another voice spoke up from behind them.

"Um. I'm to blame for that..." A voice admitted timidly. The two mares whipped there heads around very quickly to see none of than Vinyl Scratch standing at the hole in the wall. She seemed to be very interested in the floor of the room as she prodded at it with her hoof.

Chrysalis glared piercingly at the unicorn in question as she processed what she had said.

"What?" Chrysalis spoke icily, causing Vinyl to gulp.

"C-Captain Tempest asked me to follow behind you to make sure you stayed safe. When you took Spike, I couldn't hear the conversation and it looked like you had drugged him and carried him off. I-It's my fault Miss Twilight thought you kidnapped Spike because that's what I told her." Vinyl admitted completely ashamed with her actions.

"I'm sorry..." She apologized before she resumed staring and poking at the very interesting floor.

Chrysalis got up and separated herself from Twilight and slowly stalked over to the two-tone maned unicron. Vinyl looked up and saw the intimidating and imposing figure of Chrysalis directly in front of her. Her ears folded back and she shut her eyes and braced for an attack, but was instead met with a soft hug. She looked up in disbelief at Chrysalis.

"It's alright. It was just a misunderstanding, I don't hold it against you. I forgive you." Chrysalis told the unicorn softly.

Vinyl's body shook as she let out a soft sob. She felt so relieved.

"I'm so sorry!" She cried as she returned the changeling's hug.

“It's okay. It's okay. Shhh." Chrysalis whispered soothingly as she ran her hoof along Vinyl's back comfortingly.

After a while, the two parted from the hug.

"Now go tell Tempest that everything is alright." Chrysalis told the smaller mare.

Vinyl nodded before leaving the room. Chrysalis let out a sigh before a wing draped over her. She leaned into the wing hug submissively and nuzzled her Mistress.

"You handled all of this extremely well. I'm so proud of you." Twilight informed her let. Chrysalis shuddered in pleasure at those words.

"Thank you Mistress." She said happily, the past exchange having been sorted out, she now knew her Mistress truly did love her and she would always love her Queen back.

"Let's head to the throne room now, my pet." Twilight said as she gazed down at her pet lovingly.

"Yes, Mistress."
