"Phi, hurry up! We have to leave sometime today!" Vector called out to his sister, Phi Canard, as the rustling of various objects and clothes could be heard upstairs.
Yes, there were in a house. A broken down house, actually. A condemned one. A home fit for two unholy abominations such as Vector and Phi Canard.
"Just give me one more second Vector!" a smaller voice called back, causing Vector to effectively facehoof.
"Need I remind you that the Griffon army is advancing?" Vector suggested, with the tiniest bit of annoyance in his voice. His response came in the form of a floating Phi, her cheeks puffed in embarrassment as she floated down the stairs.
"Of course I know brother. I was packing." She insisted, holding a rather large bag around her neck, holding what may as well be a bunch of clothes.
"As long as you do. Quickly, change." Vector commanded, his voice stringed with uncertainty, as if he himself didn't think she understood the situation. The green hazy veil enveloped the two changelings, as Vector transformed into an unnamed blue pony, with a magic 8-ball as it's cutie mark, with a long, flowing mane and tail that almost reached the ground. Phi, though...
Didn't have much luck. The haze faded the moment it came.
"Vector, I'm hungry..." Phi complained, as Vector under the guise of the blue pony looked down towards her sister, with a kind smile stretching across his face.
"It's fine, you will always have me as your brother." He whispered, pecking her on the side of her forehead. Immediately, the hazy veil surrounded Phi, revealing a lighter blue filly, with no cutie mark, and rather than long flowing hair like the supposed brother, it was messy, and curly. A soft smile formed from Phi, slowly taking the love from his brother. "Come now. It's already getting crazy enough as it is out there. If we hang around this town for too much longer, we risk not only being discovered, but getting caught up in Equestria's war too."
The last part of that sentence, though, stung. He had begun to consider himself part of under Celestia's rule, even going so far as to feel her love for everypony in her kingdom, regardless of who they were. He considered fighting in the war, or at least doing reconnaissance. But who would want a Changeling in a Pony army? It's as messed up with a Changeling and a Pony being in love.
Without the guise, of course.
The two exited the condemned building, and took note of the very long line that laid out across the town to enlist. "Huh. I didn't take Ponykind to be the fighting sort. Seems I was wrong." Vector commented, feeling a bit guilty about it.
"Brother... We have to go." Phi urged him this time, as Vector turned towards her.
"Sorry. Let's head for Canterlot, and we can figure out what to do from there.
