- Starfall's POV -
I start to fly through the hoops, imagining that I'm at flight camp. I fall into my groove that I get while I fly. I dodge the obstacles without effort, but then a stray arrow leaves it's bow and hits me - suprisingly not in one of my holes - and strikes me down.
"Mayday! Mayday!" I scream while plummeting to the ground.
I close my eyes, waiting for impact that never comes. I open my eyes to see Iceshard has used her magic to lift me up.
"T-thanks Iceshard..." I stammer.
"No problem. Don't want to kill a new captive of her kingdom, do we?" Iceshard says spitefully, like she hated the queen.
I think Iceshard knows more than she's letting on... I thought.

- Lightning's POV -
As Starfall is lifted to the ground I stretch nervously. "I'm guessing I get to try?" I ask. Iceshard nods. "Good luck." I walk up to the starting and take a deep breath. I hope my practicing in Cloudsdale pays off... I think before flying.
The hoops were easy. I flew up and down through them like it was nothing. The trees were harder but I could still pass. Then I get to the arrows...I hesitate. Bad mistake. An arrow wizzes at my head. I yelp and duck, speeding up. I was paying too much attention to the arrows. One skimmed my mane. At the end...I ran into a wall...I slowly slid down it. "Oops? Heh heh...ow." Starfall couldn't help but laugh. By the time my rump hit the floor, my chest hurt from laughing. Iceshard looked at Starfall and me. "Great job both of you...I'll go tell the Queen..."
When Iceshard left I flew up and practiced the course. "What the hay are you doing Lightning?" Starfall shouts from under me. "If we're going to be changelings...we have to at least by ready for the challenges!" I yell back confidently.

-Starfall's POV-
I quickly catch up to her on the course.
"You're sounding like you WANT to be a changeling." I say disdainfully.
"Well, I think we should at least blend in," She lowers her voice to a whisper.
"We want to fit in, so nopony will suspect it when we try to escape."
I nod my head slowly in understanding.
"That makes sense... Okay, let's do it!" Lightning and I do a quick hoofbump.
"ATTENTION ALL DRONES AND TRAINEES. TRAINING TIME IS OVER, ALL GO BACK TO YOUR UNITS." A scratchy voice comes over an intercom.
"A unit?" Lightning asks.
"I think it's the cell we woke up in. Do you know where it was? I'm pretty sure I know where it is, but not entirely."
"Yeah, don't we just take a left from that huge throne room?"
"Something like that." I reply.
The enourmous doors started to close.
"Last one to the unit is a parasprite!" I yell and start flying off.
"Oh no you don't!" Lightning says, chasing after me.

-Lightning Cloud's POV-
I squeeze through the doors, almost being crushed, into the throne room. Changelings yelp and run when Star and I race by. We take a sharp left turn to our dungeon. The hall is too skinny to go past Starfall so I try going under. Worst. Idea. Ever. I scrape my cheek on a boulder that was hidden in the shadows. The warm trickling feeling soon appears on the right side of my face. I ingored it and continued. I then hear laughing. Starfall laughing. I turn around. Starfall, just sitting there, in front of the dungeon, laughing. "Wow..." She smirks,"And I thought you knew where we were going!" I slowly fly inside the small room, wiping the blood off my face. Then I hear a voice from outside saying,"You know we have places for you to sleep other than this, right?"
Iceshard stands at the entrence, an annoyed look on her face. "You disturbed so many changelings! You know how bad it is when Chrysalis is grumpy? BOOM! Every single thing blows." Then she gestures her hoof and starts walking down the hall. Starfall flies out and I walk slowly, deep in my thoughts, in the back of the group. "What are you saying?" Starfall asks me, falling behind. "What do you mean?" I question. "You were just...talking to yourself...it was...just...nevermind!" Is all I get from her. I ignore what she says and I follow behind Iceshard. She brings us into a dark room, full of transparent green cacoon like things. Changelings sleep in them. "Make your own..." Iceshard orders before leaving the room.
I start a spell and slowly try to make my...bed? Starfall stares at the floor with a straight face. "I'll make your bed..." I whisper to her, knowing she doesn't know how to do magic, she lays down on the floor. Minutes later, I finish makig the beds. I hang them on the wall. Starfall, already asleep, is collasped on the floor. I use my magic to put her in her cacoon thing. Then I fly in, shut my eyes, and hope, just hope, this is all a dream...
