Creating A Hive

Quest: Part Of A Complete Breakfast

This chapter has a lot of Fallout references. There's been a lot of thought put into this, and research going back almost a year. Basically since the birth of the idea of the character Waffle.

Queen Thorne was a very busy changeling queen. She arguably had the most to do in her reign, even from an early start. Her days were filled mostly with keeping peace both inside her hive and outside of it. You would think there wouldn't be much. Her hive was miles away from any sort of other population. They could provide their own foods now, with only rarely needed trade. Being queen should be easy.

There was the business of an entire country only knowing them as deceitful liars, which was a given. Could it be helped that changelings had been born into that life, never being given a choice for otherwise? Chameleons changed too. Why was no one hating on them, huh?

Changelings were different now. They were more peaceful, more like those colorful ponies Thorne's mother had so hated. Changelings had worked to be more friendly seeming to their neighbors. Thorne had to make some sort of peace between their races before the Equestria Games.

There were two changelings that made that job just a little bit harder.

Thorne was sitting on her throne. It wasn't a proper scary throne like Chrysalis had. She was reading a letter, delivered by a very dependable delivery pony.

Waffle had been in the room at this time. She could see the card in her Queen's hooves. It had a picture of a purple berry on the back, and letters in bright sparkle. DYNAMITE BERRY'S CUTE-CEAÑERA!

She had learned a new word. Because she had so much room in her head, she could definitely ask for the definition.

"Queen Thorne, what's a cute-ceañera?" Waffle asked the Queen.

"It's a party for ponies to celebrate finally being good at...something." Thorne replied. "Whenever they find their special talent, they get a cutiemark."

"They get a sticker when they're special?" Waffle asked.

Never did we say she would retain the definition. Just that there was room for it.

Thorne pointedly didn't bother correcting Waffle. She had learned over the months that her energy was better spent on literally anything else.

Waffle took that as a sign she was right.

The thing about quests is you should never go about it alone. You need someone to go with you! Friendships are an important thing. Waffle was taught that friendship was a myth. At best, a friend could be used as a meat shield. They would always be there to take the hit for you!

That's what my mama taught me!

The best kind of friend was one that seemed basically invincible, lacks any sense of fear or reason! Also, in the event of an emergency, they could serve as food.

Waffle knew one such changeling.

Her brother, Wildberry Poptart!

The purple/blue changeling was the perfect changeling to go along with Waffle for her quest. She didn't even have to really explain anything before he was going along with it.
