As much as Midnight had wanted to go through the next week unscathed, luck would not be on his side during this time as Chrysalis had returned to Ponyville not two days after he had walked into the afterlife plane. The changeling queen had a keen sense about her and had managed to track the dark Alicorn to Ponyville. The weather had fared much better than her previous visit, this time it consisted of a few days after a rainfall had been scheduled for the region. Now most of the snow had been melted along with freezing slightly to the ground, making travel for unicorns and earth ponies a little more difficult.

At this moment however, Chrysalis was resting quietly inside Golden Oaks Library. Laying quietly onto a large pillow next to an over sized heater that was pouring out quite a bit of heat onto her chitin frame. Resting in front of her was an open book that she seemed to have found quite interesting. Twilight had sent Spike out to fetch Midnight for the Changeling queen so that she would finally leave the library. It wasn't long before the Dark Alicorn had arrived back at the library with the small purple dragon on his back. Stepping through the front door, Midnight let Spike down using his wing as a slide before making his way over to the changeling queen.

"Has it been a month already?" He asked as he glared slightly toward Chrysalis.

"Now now, there is no need to look at me in such a manner. It is most unbecoming of the future king of Equestria." She purred, giving a slight grin. Midnight on the other hoof just continued to glare.

"Let's get back to you lands so that we can get this over with quickly. I have a very busy schedule and do not need to waste time." He snorted as he turned back to the door but paused as Chrysalis quickly moved to his side, brushing up against him playfully.

"What's the rush? A busy schedule doesn't mean that you are required to rush. Can you not simply put a few things off to spend a little time with me and my minions?" She asked playfully, only to get a gentle nudge as Midnight pressed passed her and out the door.

"As I stated, I do not have time to doddle. So please, if you and your 'minions' wish to be fed, then I suggest you wait no longer, or risk starving for a month until I have another free day to do this."

Chrysalis gave a pout as she followed him out the door and paused just a few yards from the entrance to the library. Watching his horn light up for a moment, she gave a curt nod toward the dark Alicorn as they vanished into a flash of light, teleporting to the land of the changelings.

Appearing in a flash of light, Midnight and Chrysalis were now standing at the base of her disfigured changeling tower. Her changeling army had already gotten into the position that they had gotten into previously from the previous feeding. She moving to in front of him as he continued to glare at her..

"Why do you continue to glare at me with such malice? Do I offend you by asking nothing more than food from you?" She asked as she gave a slight pout.

"I honestly don't mind feeding you or your kind, but I do not appreciate the fact that you poisoned that little meal I had with you on my previous visit with some kind of enchantment. Why would you risk your meal ticket by angering me?" He growled softly causing a few of her minions to hiss threateningly at him, many lowering their postures into an offensive stance, but quickly returning back to their normal stance with just a glance from the queen.

Chrysalis stood there in shock slightly from hearing the dark Alicorn tell her that she had been caught in the act, but quickly regained her composure as her expression went back to neutral.

"I admit that what I did was uncalled for, but I was simply acting in the best interest of my race." She purred sweetly.

"And exactly what would be worth pissing me off enough to reconsider feeding you or your race of changelings hmmm?" He asked as his glare only increased as he pressed forward right into her personal space. He paused however as her lips met his before he quickly pulled away, startled by the action.

"Well, I was considering having my way with you since you seemed so unwilling the last time you were here. The offer still stands if you're interested." She giggled while wiggling her flank.

"I am going to have to decline yet again, and I am going to ask that you have your minions start moving in a uniform fashion like the last time. You will be the last to be fed so please wait for me in your tower." He stated coldly causing her to pout again before he moved past her to stand a few extra yards from the base of the tower.

As he took his position he readied himself as he began to emit the conditional love to feed the changelings. After a couple of hours, all of the changelings had been fed. Midnight made his way into the tower, taking his time as he climbed the long spiraling staircase until her reached the top of the tower. As he pressed through the pitch black doors of the changeling queens chambers, he was greeted by a loud growl coming from the queens belly.

"Took you long enough." She growled before recomposing herself and giving a smile and speaking again to save herself from snapping. "I was afraid that you had abandoned me and left me to starve."

"I wouldn't do such a thing to anypony, even you." He stated flatly as he trotted quickly over to her before stopping just a few feet from her. "But do to your little stunt from the last visit, you are going to get only conditional love this time. Normally I would trust a being just enough at first meeting them, but you did wrong toward me with that little enchanting stunt. So until next month, you must survive on a belly full of conditional love." He finished but began once again as he noticed her trying to start up and argue her point of view. "And you will accept the conditional love as it is all that I will give you at this time. If you wish for something more, then you will have to re-earn my trust, and that will take time." He snorted as he began to pour out the conditional love, filling her belly quickly before she let out a semi-satisfied burp.

"Very well, I shall do as you ask. But be warned............" She began but stopped as the Dark Alicorn snapped his attention to her, pressing his forehead directly to hers as his mane erupted into a fiery blaze when he spoke.

"YOU SHALL NOT GIVE ME WARNING FOR ANYTHING! I have gone out of my way to help you and your race only to be poisoned by an enchantment and then stabbed by a huge ass needle in order to remove said enchantment. I went through a lot of pain because of your little stunt and I refuse to do so again. If you want to continue being fed then you had better understand your situation!" He yelled out loudly causing her to back peddle in shock as she listened. "You will abide by my rules and you will cease in these attempts against my being. I am not interested in having relations with you and I do not want to have relations with you. I will continue to honor my agreement with you and your kingdom for as long as needed, but I will break that agreement and wipe out every last one of you if you persist. I am in no mood for this crap, so before I say anything else that would demonize me, I bid you good day!" He finished as he teleported from the tower in a flash of light, Chrysalis standing there in shock as she continued to stare at the spot that he was previously standing in.

*drip.................. drip................... drip*

The changeling queen ground her rear legs together giving a slight moan before speaking. "Oh my.............. I love it when you talk down to me!" She purred before turning back toward her throne and quickly walking behind it and into a secret room. She gave a seductive purr as she pulled a large box from the underside of her bed before pulling out a rather large toy and smiling, giving a sigh. "Oh well, this will have to do until I have that stallion for myself."

In a flash of light the dark Alicorn reappeared back in Ponyville, just outside the library. He looked around to see the cloud covered sky still darkly looming over the small town. The wind had picked up a little since his departure earlier and was now rushing past the snow covered ground, sending a chill through him as it pricked along his frame. Giving a visible shudder and ruffle of his wings, he quickly made his way into the library to see Twilight still sitting at her desk with a look of worry on her face as she gazed upon a book.

"Hey love, what's wrong? You look worried." He asked as he trotted over to her and took a seat next to her, playfully giving her hear a nip and causing her to flick it away instinctively.

"When Chrysalis was here earlier, she was reading this book, and it worries me." She stated softly as she looked up to the stallion with a slight pout. Midnight taking the chance to look at the book and read the title.

"How to win over any stallion with ease." Midnight spoke out as he read the title aloud. He gave a chuckle as he turned his sights back to the lavender love that was pressing warmly up to his side. "Hun, you have no need to worry about miss bug butt." He chuckled. "Once someone wrongs me i like she did, it is hard to regain my trust. And considering that I only see her once a month to feed her and her hive, I can guarantee you that there is no possible way that she could win my affections at all. Much less in getting me to rut with her." He laughed.

"Rutting with her? You mean she wanted................. with you?" She spoke out as her cheeks turned a lovely shade of red.

"Yea, but ever since I had to take that stupid shot in order to have the stupid enchantment removed. Not only is my flank still sore, but my feelings toward Chrysalis had been turned completely negative. The only reason I even agreed to go and feed her was because I made a deal with her and want to keep everypony safe from the changelings." He sighed but halted as Twilight nuzzled against his neck.

"That is very kind of you, maybe too kind considering what she did. Maybe you should rethink this whole thing through." She sighed softly as she looked back to the book before picking it up and tossing it toward the small glowing orb that rested nearby. The book disappearing in a flash as it was returned to the shelf from which it came.

"I've already though it over a hundred times, and as much as I would like to avoid going back to the Changeling lands, I have a higher responsibility in taking care of the ponies of this land. To do that, I must keep the Changelings fed and happy in order to keep everypony safe from them and their feeding habits. To many lives have already been lost because of such a thing. They are parasites that feed on the feelings of others. Although I would like to say that I could wipe them out without a second thought. They are still living breathing creatures, and deserve as much right to live as the next being." He sighed. "Sometimes it sucks having a conscience like mine." He groaned, laying his head onto her desk flatly.

Twilight pressed a hoof to his cheek giving it a gentle nudge as she spoke. "That conscience is quite a good one you have Night. You do more good than you think, plus you think things through quite thoroughly at times. So don't think it's a bad thing that you should just ignore. Although I don't really see eye to eye with you on some of your decisions, I can understand why you choose the things that you do when the time calls for it. Sometimes they might not be pleasant. But it gets the job done." She smirked seeing him roll his eyes and chuckle.

"Yea Twi that makes me feel a lot better." He snorted as he turned toward her hoof an nipped at it playfully.

"HEY! No biting! I know what you're doing mister!" She spoke out as she backed away giving a giggle.

"Oh really now?" He smirked as he turned to her giving a chuckle. "And how would you know about what my nibbling is?"

"Rarity told me all about your little fetish." She smirked seeing him gawk for a moment.

"That little!............................" He trailed off giving a grumpy expression before Twilight spoke up.

"Awwwwww, did I hit a nerve?" She spoke teasingly.

"No............ I was hoping to gradually get you into that little............ thing.............." He chuckled nervously looking away in embarrassment.

"Who said you had to make it gradual?" She giggle into his ear before biting down onto it and tugging him sideways, he yelling out in pain as he felt her teeth crushing his ear slightly. She continued pulling him until he was now on his side on the floor behind her desk. He gave an audible snort with a half angry half seductive look plastered across his face. That was of course until she began to gently nibble is ear and causing him to spasm.

"You know." Sh began through the gentle nibbling. "Out of all the times we have been together, I never once knew that this was a turn on for you." She giggled as she lay across his neck, holding him down as she continued nibbling.

"Just aaaaaaaaaaaanother piece to the puzzzzzzzzleeeeeeeeeeee ooooooh yeaaaaaa." He sighed happily.

"Well then, let's see what other things we can nibble." She smirked as she moved slightly, nibbling along him. She grinning like a bandit the entire time.

"You know something Twi, once we are all married, I plan on having a little nibble contest between all of my ladies. Let's see if you can out do Rarity." He chuckled seeing her smirk.

"Fine, but I warn you. I have scanned a few books on the subject. So I doubt I will have any competition." She giggled.

"We'll see." He grinned.
