The Midnight Dance 1/10

Family

Screwball: You're nuts, you know that 

She was stuck in green glop by the dark throne 

Chrysalis smirked evilly: Funny, I thought you were one that was nuts 

Screwball bitterly: Har-har 

Chrysalis: My dear sweet child, do you know why I brought you here 

The swirly-eyed mare slatted 

Screwball: Revenge against my family no doubt 

Chrysalis released a low chuckle 

Chrysalis: Actually, revenge was the furthest thing from my thoughts, no, you're here, because my son has it in his head that you should be his queen 

Screwball: What 

Chrysalis: Tell me, child, why do you suppose your beloved prince freed his mother and the rest of our kind 

Screwball: I, I don't know, maybe he thought he could change your evil ways so you could be the mother he's always wanted 

The queen released another chuckle 

Chrysalis: Changelings cannot change despite changing forms, but it's our nature to remain cruel and uncaring 

Screwball: And yet your son and Thorax aren't like that 

Chrysalis: Yes, well, my son was unfortunately given a heart while Thorax was a defective member of the colony, speaking of colony, believe it or not, but I won't live forever and the changelings will need a new ruler, that is where my son comes in, but he needs a queen in order to keep the species going, and guess who the lucky mare is 

Screwball: What makes you think I would ever rule over your disgusting race 

Chrysalis: I'd watch that mouth of yours, or have you forgotten that you're dating a changeling 

Screwball: Mothy's different, so is Thorax 

Chrysalis: Ah, but what if I was to tell you that in order for you to be queen you must also be turned into a changeling 

Screwball gasped: No-no, that can't be true, you're lying 

Chrysalis: Oh, wake up, girl, why else would Mothball have come to me in the first place, he knew this to be true and wanted to find some other way to avoid it, I told him there wasn't but if he had set us free, I could produce another royal changeling to replace him 

Screwball: Then why are you bothering with all this, you're free, you can do just that, you didn't need to capture me 

Chrysalis: Oh, but I had to 

Chrysalis's eyes grew dark 

Chrysalis: I didn't see it before, but Thorax and Mothball are just the beginning, soon, the rest of the changelings will want to think for themselves and won't want to rely on a queen, won't want to rely on me, I need to keep in control, for if I cannot have Equestria then why shouldn't I still have my changelings to keep under my hoof, if I lost them, I would have nothing left 

She shouted out that last part startling Screwball 

Chrysalis: Now, when my son comes, I will make sure he gets what he wants as long as I get what I want 

Screwball: He won't do it 

Screwy glared back, Chrysalis touched her chin while flashing a sickly-sweet smile 

Chrysalis: Oh, but he will, my dear, he will
