> “YOU!” Chrysalis shouted with narrowed eyes, getting into a battle stance.

> “Come on, Chrysalis. We can make this work. I just want to prove to you that there’s another way! Be my friend!”

> “You’ve come to die! I will never accept your friendship!” Chrysalis screamed in rage. She couldn’t help but feel like she’d done this before. Starlight lit up a shield but it was useless. With an intense green explosion of pure changeling magic, Starlight was no more-

> Starlight stepped out of the shadows.

> “Chrysalis, I’ve come to bargain,” Starlight said this time with some trepidation.

> “YOU- Hey!” Chrysalis growled before looking around in anger. “What are you doing?!”

> “Nothing at all, Chrysalis,” Starlight said before Chrysalis shook her head.

> “Good! Because you will die for stealing my kingdom from me!” With a blast of her horn, Chrysalis obliterated Starlight where she stood-

> “Chrysalis, I’ve come to bargain!” Starlight shouted, jumping in front of Chrysalis.

> “Gah! What is this trickery?!” Chrysalis yelled in fury.

> “I brought a little something with me in case you got angry and tried to kill me.” She then motioned to her horn which pulsed in regular intervals. “My forte, Time! Time, Chrysalis! A never-ending loop, one that won't end if you don’t accept my hoof!”

> “I will NEVER!” Chrysalis said as she conjured two spears of magic and impaled Starlight thoroughly-

> “Chrysalis, I’ve come to bargain!”

> “Why are you doing this to me!?” Chrysalis raged as she rose in her own changeling magic. It had looped once again.

> “So that we can come to an agreement. So that I can gain your trust, your friendship!” Starlight shouted over the swirling winds.

> “Then you will spend an eternity dying for what you did!” Chrysalis’ eyes glowed bright green.

> “If it means becoming your friend, then so be it.”

> With that, Chrysalis unleashed a telepathic wave which turned Starlight’s head into mush-

> “Chrysalis, I’ve come to bargain!” Starlight sighs as she walks out of the shadows again.

> “You cannot do this forever!” Chrysalis cried as what she had been working on came to life.

> “Actually, I can. I will only stop when you finally accept me as your friend!”

> “Not in a million years!” Chrysalis exclaimed as her magical bomb exploded everything around them-

> “Chrysalis, I’ve come to bargain!” Starlight continued as she rolled out of the shadows.

> “Stop this at once,” Chrysalis hissed as magical tendrils shot from the ground, gripping Starlight and twisting her into odd angles, sounding the sound of bones snapping and cracking-

> “Chrysalis-!” Starlight cried but was silenced when she was suffocated in an airless vacuum-

> “Chrysalis, I’ve-!” she tried to say but died under a pile of Tribbles.

> “Chrysalis-!” she exclaimed but choked horribly on a forcefully lodged peanut-

> “Chrysalis-” She got slammed into a nearby worktable and was impaled-

> “Chrysalisplease-!” she said quickly but was blown away by a magical cannon-

> “Hear me out-!” she tried to explain but was crushed under a giant rock (presumably Tom)-

> “Chrys-!” She fell into the void-

> “No-!” A dragon roasted her-

> “Wai-!” Chrysalis stabbed her with her horn-

> “Chrysalis-!” Her limbs were torn off by timberwolves-

> “Chryssie-” She got stepped on by an Ursa-

> “Take my-” She-

> “Hoof of-” Tries-

> “Frien-” To-

> “-dship-” Say-

> “Please-!” But-

> “Gah-!” Fails-

> “Hey-!” She cries-

> “Wait-!” She tries-

> “Agh-!” She shouts-

> “Stop-!” She dies-

> “CHRYSALIS!” She yells-

> “Blorgle-!” Starlight drowned-

> “Wah-!” She got slapped with a million tons of force-

> “Seriously-!” Starlight wheezed as she was tickled to death-

> “SERIOUSLY-?!” Windigo’s were summoned and froze her-

> “Oh my-!” She was teleported up and died falling from a high place-

> “OH MY-!” She got eaten by a manticore-

> “SWEET CELESTIA-!” She died from sheer shock after seeing something I, the author, cannot describe lest this be rated teen or higher-

> The loop reset once more and Starlight stepped out of the shadows for the nth time. “Chrysalis, please!” she tried once more as she conjured up as much magical energy to form two invincible shields of magic which she whirled around her in a quick fashion. Glowing green rainbow cupcakes bashed against her shields.

> With a huff, Chrysalis sighed. “What!?” To her own honesty, she was getting tired of killing Starlight over and over again. Infinity can do that to you.

> “Be my friend, and I’ll let you be. Please. I want you to understand that friendship isn’t bad, it’s what brings people together. It’s what gave you the love you needed to feed the hive, yet you continually fed off of us like parasites! It could’ve been a mutual bond, something we could’ve worked on together!” Starlight was finally able to say with no interruptions of sudden death. The cupcakes disappeared. “We can even cause mischief together?”

> Chrysalis stared silently at Starlight’s now outstretched hoof, contemplating the meaning of eternity, 42, and Starlight’s own annoying incompetence. She couldn’t help but think of what might be able to come to fruition from this friendship...

> Slowly, she lifted her own hoof and…

> “So now you’re friends?” Twilight asked in disbelief.

> “Pretty much,” Starlight shrugged as she walked to the doorway. “Starlight was very annoying, but she got me to come around.”

> “W-wait, you’re not Starlight?” Twilight inquired worriedly.

> “Nope, I’m Chrysalis!” Starlight’s form shimmered between a tall carapaced Changeling Queen and Twilight’s protege. “Starlight said I could be her for the day to try and fit in!”
