My Little Pony: Changelings

(These two episodes span a large period and are written according to the original time.)

Twilight Sparkle and her friends were invited to go to the Crystal Empire to help Princess Cadence complete the application for the competition. Then Twilight Sparkle gave instructions to Spike.

"Are you sure you can take care of it?"

"Of course, otherwise how could I be sure to agree to take care of it? Let me see what I should do now."

Twilight Sparkle said angrily when she saw Spike pick up the recipe.

"Like taking care of a house full of pets,"

"Yes, that's what I meant. Okay, let's go to the Crystal Empire and hold your welcome party."

Twilight Sparkle walked towards the train station doubtfully, and then Applejack sighed.

"I've never seen ponies so excited."

"Of course they'll be excited. They'll apply to host the Equestria Games. This is the biggest sporting event in all of Equestria."

Then Rainbow Dash recalled the failure of Cloudsdale and seemed very lonely, so she decided to make this game a success, Twilight Sparkle also said.

"Yes, Princess Cadence hopes to do our best to convince the judges of the competition to choose the Crystal Empire, right?"

Qunxinghuanghuang suddenly thought of something and then said to them.

"I have an idea. We can first capture the judge of the competition, then I can transform into her appearance, and then announce that the Crystal Empire will be the venue for the competition. Finally, we can erase her memory... Okay, just forget what I said."

Looking at the horses with unfriendly faces, Qunxing Huanghuang finally slipped into the train sideways. The other ponies also entered the carriages soon after, and after the train started, the sound of the welcoming ceremony was heard again and again in the carriages.

"Four, three, two, one. The Crystal Empire welcomes you."

Then Twilight Sparkle seemed unsatisfied and asked to start over again, and also practice her steps on the train. As expected, an accident happened, the train stopped, and Twilight Sparkle and the others fell in the carriage.

The stars looked at the crystal gate in front of them and couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh, Crystal Empire, I'm back again. Look at these hardworking ponies. They have cleaned the Crystal Empire spotlessly. It's so beautiful."

"Yes, they put a lot of effort into this welcome party."

"They must have had ponies from all over the country come dress up."

"Maybe they think we are awesome, who knows."

"Princess Cadence is right, these ponies look really excited."

After arriving at the beauty salon, Qunxing Huanghuang and his friends saw Princess Yinyun who was getting dressed. Then a pony came in and told Princess Yinyun that her hairdresser was sick and was afraid of infecting her, so he would not come. When Princess Yinyun asked if anyone could braid her hair, no hairdresser could, so Princess Yinyun decided to give up.

"I have an idea. Maybe I can become Princess Cadence. Hairstyle and such won't be a problem at all."

The stars changed slightly, and Princess Casually appeared. But then she was immediately opposed by Twilight Sparkle. The Crystal Empire was the most loving place because of the crystal hearts. The stars must not be the king again. If she lost control again, not to mention the welcoming party, the Crystal Empire would be a problem.

After hearing this, Qunxinghuanghuang rolled his eyes, turned back into a black pony, turned around and left the beauty salon, preparing to go somewhere else.

The stars were walking on the street, looking at the happy crystal ponies around them, all of whom were working hard for the welcome party. Just at this time, Twilight Sparkle and the others hurriedly ran past on the street.

Starry Glow didn't understand what was going on, so she followed to join in the fun. Then Starry Glow saw Twilight Sparkle and the others arrive at the train station, and then greeted a pony with a hen pattern, who walked over while talking and chatting.

Qunxing Huanghuang was a little confused. What were they doing? What was this episode about? It was so long ago that she almost forgot about it.

Just as the stars turned around, they saw a dark brown pony with a patterned bag and a cute trophy logo, standing at the station with a depressed look on its face, looking at the watch on its hoof, looking unhappy.

Qunxing Huanghuang walked forward and said.

"Ma'am, why do you look so unhappy? How can I help you?"

"Hi, I'm the bid assessor, Hashwini. I came here to wait for my pony to greet me, but I haven't seen any yet."

After hearing this, Qunxing Huanghuang was stunned for a moment. He did have some memories, but not much. It seemed that the Crystal Empire had finally succeeded in its bid. Regardless of whether it was due to other noble operating regulations or something like that, it was not a good idea to leave the horse here. So Qunxing Huanghuang cleared his throat and then said to Hashwinnie.

"Miss Hashwini, if you don't mind, I can take you to visit the Crystal Empire. As the former king, I have a deep understanding of the Crystal Empire."

Looking at the black stars in front of him, Haswini frowned, then stroked his chin with his paw, thought for a while, confirmed it, and then said.

"The former king? King Sombra? I heard you were traveling, weren't you?"

"No, no, no, I'm not Sombra. My name is Starry Brilliant. I actually only ruled the Crystal Empire for seven hours, thirty-eight minutes, and thirty-six seconds before I was ousted. But don't worry, please trust my professional ability."

Hearing this, Haswinnie was obviously stunned for a moment. When she thought about the fact that she had no one around her, having a so-called former king to introduce herself to her would allow her to get to know the Crystal Empire, which was always better than going it alone.

"Really? Well, let's go."

After hearing this, Qunxing Huanghuang used magic to pick up the bag and left the train station with Hashwini.

Qunxing Huanghuang walked in front, leading Hashwini into the gate of the Crystal Empire, and then began to explain the history of the Crystal Empire.

"The Crystal Empire is the oldest country in Equestria. It was founded a long, long time ago. Because this is a stormy area with constant snow and wind, the ancestors created a magic weapon, the Crystal Heart, which can drive away the snow and wind and bring light."

Stars brought Hashwinnie closer to the crystal heart, where many ponies were watching. Hashwinnie walked forward and saw the floating crystal heart.

"very nice."

"Yes, it is the symbol of the Crystal Empire. Many ponies come here to admire it. The beautiful crystal heart always wants people to have a taste of its sweet and juicy love."

"what?"

"Nothing, next we're going to the food section."

Then, Starlight and Hashwinkle passed by the castle, and Twilight Sparkle rushed out. Seeing Starlight with another pony, she was a little confused, but still spoke.

"Hello, stars, goodbye."

"Hey, Twilight Sparkle, wait."

Watching Twilight Sparkle walking further and further away, Stars spoke to Hashwini beside her.

"Okay, Miss Hashwini, be careful of the water. Where were we talking about? Oh, the food area. There are many Crystal Empire local delicacies here for tourists to taste. You can try them."

Hashwinnie walked forward to taste the food of the Crystal Empire. It was very good. There were all kinds of food stalls everywhere. The ponies coming and going were all laughing and talking here. Hashwinnie nodded.

The stars then said.

"Okay, let's go forward. That area is the merchandise area. There are many crystal-structured specialty merchandise here. We in the Crystal Empire are very hospitable. Would you like a crystal ball as a gift?"

With Hashwinnie, Qunxing Huanghuang was walking on the road, and then Hashwinnie saw a statue being carved. Seeing Hashwinnie stopped, Qunxing Huanghuang said.

"Oh, they're carving statues of Radiant Hope and Sombra, to symbolize the breaking of dawn, when the dark lord finally surrenders to the light, and the ponies of the Crystal Empire forgive his rule.

Oh, look at the other side, that's my statue, how about that, not bad, isn't it."

Haswini looked to the other side, then compared them and found that they were different.

"Why do I see something different?"

"Oh, they used the statue of Princess Amore from when I ruled the Crystal Empire. Do you want to hear Princess Amore's story?"

"Well, tell me about it."

As Qunxing Huanghuang was talking and walking, suddenly a pony carrying a vase on its head rushed over and hurriedly ran away into the distance, while Twilight Sparkle and the others followed quickly.

"Stars shine, what are you doing?"

"Twilight Sparkle, come here quickly, we can't catch up with her."

Applejack's voice came over, and Twilight Sparkle no longer cared about Starlight, and ran over. When Hashwinie saw it, she was a little confused and asked Starlight.

"What are they doing? Is this a tradition in the Crystal Empire?"

Qunxinghuanghuang thought about it and then said.

"Well... it's just a trial. The Crystal Empire will pick a traveling pony every month to visit the Crystal Empire Castle. The pony just now might not be able to adapt to the castle environment."

After hearing this, Hashwini was slightly surprised and then said.

"This is a great event that will enhance the tourists' experience. I haven't seen such enthusiastic activities in other cities. I saw quite a few accompanying ponies just now. It seems that Princess Yinyun attaches great importance to the experience of this event."

"Yes, by the way, the castle is in front of us, Miss Hashwini, do you want to go in and take a look?"

"No, every time I go to a city I watch the same shows over and over again, go to their various castle buildings and stuff, the same old activities are almost making me tired."

Hearing this, Qunxing Huanghuang immediately thought of other content projects.

"We actually have a beauty salon here that's open to all ponies who love beauty for free. We've been walking for so long, why don't you come and relax a little?"

After hearing this, Haswinnie nodded to show her agreement, and then Qunxing Huanghuang took Haswinnie to the beauty salon.

After Qunxing Huanghuang pushed the door open and entered, Hashwinnie walked to the chair, and then a crystal pony came over. Qunxing Huanghuang was bored, and she saw Zhenqi who was fixing her hair.

Just as Qunxing Huanghuang was about to step forward, he was stopped by Zhenqi.

"Qun Xing Huang, what are you doing here?"

“Lead the judges to relax.”

"What? Judge, wait, I haven't finished yet, wait a minute."

After hearing this, Zhenqi quickly stopped Princess Yinyun from getting up and started to speed up. At this time, the yellow pony also walked in.

"Oh~ Today is really the happiest day of my life, but I am so tired. I need to relax for a while."

As Zhenqi's movements quickened, Princess Yinyun finally finished styling her hair. Princess Yinyun then walked out and looked in the direction of the stars' hooves, and saw Hashwinnie lying on the chair. At this time, Hashwinnie was chatting with the pony.

Princess Yinyun walked over and said to Hashwini who was applying a facial mask.

"Hello, Miss Hashwinnie. I am Princess Cadence. What do you think of the Crystal Empire?"

Hashwini sat up, removed the cucumber from her eyes, and looked at the shining Princess Ursa Major in front of her. Before she could say anything, there was a noise at the door of the beauty salon, and Twilight Sparkle and the others arrived.

"Princess Yinyun, to be honest, the Crystal Empire is well managed, especially with the introduction of Mr. Qunxinghuanghuang, it has a rich history, many colors, and there are so many interesting activities."

"Oh my god, it's Princess Cadence. This is the happiest day of my life."

Hashwini looked at the pony that was drawn and smiled.

"So I've decided that the Crystal Empire will be the venue for the next Equestria Games."

When Twilight Sparkle saw this, she was shocked. She recalled that Starlight had been with her before, and said to him.

"How did you do that? She doesn't look like she's under any signs of magic."

After hearing this, Qunxing Huanghuang twitched his eyes and then said.

"Come on, forget about you welcoming the wrong pony. You still have to rely on my efforts at the critical moment. But seriously."

Qunxing Huanghuang spoke to Twilight Sparkle in a low voice.

"Since I've been working so hard, can you let me go visit my 'old friends'?"

As soon as Twilight Sparkle heard it, she knew who Qunxing Huanghuang was talking about and rejected his request directly. Qunxing Huanghuang's revenge plan ended before it even began.

Princess Cadence then announced the good news, and the Crystal Ponies cheered. Their love further inspired the Crystal Heart, which emitted a rainbow-like magic power, making the entire Crystal Empire even more brilliant.

Starlight left the Crystal Empire with beautiful crystal mane, and then went to the train station with Twilight Sparkle and the others.

"Apple Bloom, why are you here?"

The stars were shining behind Twilight Sparkle and the others, and when they turned around they saw the Cutie Army.

When Apple Bloom saw the shining stars, she was stunned for a moment and then felt something was wrong. She was about to say something when Xingmu Lulu suddenly pulled Apple Bloom, and then the three ponies ran out quickly.

Qunxing Huanghuang felt a little puzzled, and then walked to the side selling crystal balls. After buying four crystal balls, when he was about to rush to Twilight Sparkle, he saw Spike running over with a large group of pets.

Using magic to pick up the scattered suitcases, Stars Sparkled walked into the carriage at Twilight Sparkle's urging.

After entering the carriage, Qunxing Huanghuang sat down. Suddenly he felt something and put his backpack on the ground, and the crystal ball inside was revealed.

Feeling some movement under his butt, Qunxing Huanghuang kicked his bag silently. The cute army under the chair looked at the crystal ball in his hand and let out a slight laugh.

"Hey, did you guys hear that laugh, it sounds a bit like Apple Bloom."

"No Applejack, I feel a bit like a sweetie."

After hearing this, the Cute Army covered their mouths, and the Stars said.

"It must be because you haven't been home for too long that you just thought of your sister."

"You're right. I do miss Little Apple."

Just then, a gurgling sound was heard, and Applejack then said.

"Whose stomach is rumbling?"

"it's me."

The stars said immediately.

"You have to know that I have been shopping with the judges for a whole day and haven't even eaten a bite of food, so it's natural that I'm hungry."

"I see. But why didn't you tell me you were accompanying the judges?"

After hearing this, Qunxing Huanghuang gave Twilight Sparkle a blank look and then said to her.

"Did you give me a chance to speak?"

"that's true."

"Hahaha~"

Then, the stars saw Angel running in from the door holding a green gem, and then he jumped under Applejack's butt.

The stars then spoke to them.

"I feel this carriage is a bit stuffy, should we go to the carriage in front?"

"Really? Okay then."

Then several ponies sat up and walked out of the carriage, and after taking a bite of the gem, Spike calmed down, but finally felt a little uneasy.

After arriving at the station, Spike and the others jumped out of the window. After the train left, Twilight Sparkle and the others saw Spike and the pets coming to welcome them.

"I'm here to pick you up."

The cute army members all ran to the side of the stars.

"Crystal ball!"

"What? How do you know about the crystal ball?"

After hearing this, Zhenqi turned around and asked Sweetheart Baby, and Qunxing Huanghuang said.

"I saw them just now, so I took out the crystal ball from my bag and showed it to them. Spike, this is your crystal ball."

Holding the crystal ball, Suilong scratched his back and whispered to the stars.

"Thank you for keeping it a secret for me."

"We are friends, and friends don't have to be polite."

Walking into the library, Suilong was holding a cake cup. When he was about to put the gem in, he stuck out his tongue and swallowed the gem. Realizing what he had done, Suilong's eyes widened.

"Do not!!!"
