A/N Hey. End A/N

Chrysalis sat upon her throne. It wasn't her original throne in her glorious castle. Celestia had sent an entire battalion of her finest to secure the castle. She had fled through the Everfree searching a base that she could use. It was Slen who was the first to find her but, Chrysalis knew a business man when she saw one. In exchange for Slen's assistance she would pay him immense riches. Normally Chrysalis would use her control over emotion to make subjects but Slen seemed to feel nothing, it made him invaluable but in a position of power. It was he who gave her a place to amass her armada, the carnival itself was her fortress. Since it was constantly mobile it made her impossible to be tracked by the Royal Guard but its fame allowed her scouts to locate it.

She stepped off of her makeshift throne, a elegant yet simple oak chair. Its seat was made of red velvet. She simply rasied a hoof and brought it down upon the weak chair, she desired something more befitting a Queen.

"Ah I see you need a new chair," a coarse voice came from the entrance to the cave her minions had discovered and cleared for she had designated it as her throne room. "We need not, we only desire, it is below us for us to need," Chrysalis turned to see Slen standing on two legs as was his habit. "it is for thou and others like you to need." His burnt face disgusted her for the eyeball stared out at her even while the other was closed

Slen bowed and replied sarcastically, "I have news, by all means take a seat." Chrysalis glared at him wanting, no lusting for naught more than to rip him apart and strew his entrails across the cave. "Oh, yes, you can't. Anyways your scouts report that their train arrives in Ponyville today, it shouldn't be to long till my-" Slen seeing her scowl grow corrected himself, "Your glorious plan, to be put into use. For now your scouts will just continue to watch them."

"Good, now come here, we grow tired of staring at your hideous face, so I will grant you a boon." Slen raised his remaining eyebrow and walked towards an ornate box which had appeared with a wave of Chrysalis's hoof. Inside lay a white mask with a dark green design upon it. He gingerly picked it up as the lines in the design seemed to be alive full of a strange green liquid. "Put it on and leave our sight." Slen twisted it around and put it on his face, it seemed to meld with his face. He tugged it quickly away and it came off without much effort. Slen gingerly placed it back on and rose from his knees. He quickly bowed and left the room. He looked for his bodyguards at the entrance to the tent which covered the cave.

Snap was standing straight and staring straight ahead, too stupid to do anything but follow orders. Pop though was sitting on a crate, too stupid to realize he should follow orders. Though his talents with his enchanted fire had made him indispensable before, he now should be watching his back.

Slen stepped behind Pop, "At attention Pop, wouldn't want me to catch you relaxing on the job." Pop grinded a gem loudly and stood up silently. One of best traits really, his lack of fondness for words. Slen walked on as his guards fell in to his flanks.

To Ponyville

The journey had taken another day to complete. They had filled in the time with small talk, in which Flash was amazed to discover it was these six mares who had defeated Discord and rescued Princess Luna. Pinkie had hung close by his side through out the ride even at that awkward moment he had to chase her out of the restroom, which she hadn't seemed to notice that she followed him into. Rainbow Dash had sulked in her corner through out the ride scarcely talking. Flash passed it off as dislike for his person and her defeat.

Flash looked out of the window at the town. My new home, he thought. Just past the train station the town was full of life. He could see the town square full of ponies shopping at the market and greeting each other with a smile.

"Now arriving Ponyville Station!" The conductors voice cut through the fog of adoration. Flash turned towards the others in his cart. He saw Rarity pulling the bags down from the overhead, "Allow me to help." Rarity smiled and said, "My, what a gentlecolt." Flash's eyes opened wide as bag upon suitcase upon duffel was cast upon his back. "Let it never be said, you girls pack light." Rarity responded from beside him, "Oh Darling that's just my bags. The others have theirs." Flash looked around to see the others each carrying a duffel and a sleeping bag.

"Here allow me." Rarity opened the door and stepped through, quickly followed by Rainbow Dash. Flash trudged through the doorway fighting for breath as he felt what seemed to be his vertebrae snapping in groups. He made it to the exit but as he stepped down he missed a step and tumbled onto the platform. Bags went everywhere and when Flash opened his eyes he could see nothing but black. He stood up and the luggage fell off of him.

Rainbow curled up balancing herself on two legs she hugged her belly. Flash stood up and shook his mane and Rainbow just stopped and stared. Her mind melted at the sight and time seemed to slow for her. She didn't notice as Rarity saw this and smiled.

Pinkie came out talking to Applejack and almost tripped on the luggage. She looked at Flash standing with a goofy smile in the center. Pinkie began, "Flash you-" she cut herself off with a gasp and ran forward. Flash looked at her confused and blushed as she reached up and touched the side of his face. "Flash, how'd you get that?" Flash stammered out, "Wha- What?" Pinkie frowned, "Your ear, a chunk is missing." "Oh, oh oohh that," Flash tried to think of something, "must of happened a while ago." Pinkie closed leaned in staring him straight in the eyes. "No it's not I memorized your face, now tell the truth."

"That's kind of weird Pinkie?" "What that I want to know the truth?" "No that you memorized my face." Pinkie leaned back and said, "Oh that, it's not weird I memorize everyone's name, face, and favorite baked good." Flash shrugged and started to pick up the bags. Only to find his shoulder grabbed by Pinkie.

"Nuh uh, not till you tell me how that happened." She gestured towards his ear. Flash sighed realizing that she wouldn't forget about it. "My boss wasn't exactly happy when I decided to quit." "Why I otta-" She began muttering violently about ripping out his entrails and making desert. Flash lifted her chin up and said, "Listen, I'm fine. Please don't do anything you just said, ever. It would kill me to see you go crazy over me."

Pinkie just nodded, butter in her crush's arm. Flash stared into her bright blue eyes before looking away blushing and saying, "Well, I should pick up all of this luggage." He turned and said "Hey, where do you want this stuff anyway, Rarity" But she was nowhere to be seen.

A/N Thanks to Antxxx, I actually was going to take a break since I just got this computer on Black Friday and don't have any software yet, but I needed to elaborate. Right now I'm writing in notepad, not a fan give me Microsoft any day. Thanks again Antxxx.
