It's almost done. Just need to tweak a few things here and there.
But here's a snippet for y'all to enjoy in the meantime. 
Queen Chrysalis couldn’t stifle her giggles of glee, and she proudly paraded herself down the main street of Ponyville without a care in the world. Nothing could possibly ruin her good mood now, and for the first time in months, things were finally going the way she wanted them to.
She had to admit that the plot that she had just put into motion was rather brilliant, even for herself. Provoking the bugbear had been easy, leading it into the miserable little village that the Element Bearers called home was easier still, and the beast’s furious rampage would only intensify when the one who had provoked it in the first place showed up to defend her friends and her town.
Chrysalis could only imagine how Twilight Sparkle would explain herself when the subsequent investigation revealed it was the purple princess who had brought the bugbear blight upon the citizenry. Oh, the town might eventually figure out the truth, but she doubted these simple, backwards ponies would figure out that a changeling queen was really to blame.
Of course, this was only the first part of her glorious plans, and now it was time to execute stage two. Chrysalis loved weddings, and for the first time in her life, she had actually been invited to attend one. It was beyond obvious that the googly-eyed mailmare that had delivered the invite had gotten the wrong pony, but that little detail wasn’t going to stop the queen of the changeling hordes from attending. She had sent back her RSVP, as the invite had instructed, so there was really no reason why she should be denied admittance.
Chrysalis couldn’t care less about the dress, and she wasn’t going to partake in any cake, given what species Matilda was. Donkeys were horribly conservative creatures, and their fashion sense was out of date by at least a hundred years, to say nothing of their atrocious baking skills. But weddings were a fantastic source of love, and by the end of the day, she would be waddling back to Pokey’s house after gorging herself on the emotions of the day.
The things that she could do with said love nearly made her head spin. True, she would not gain the same level of power that she had when she had been leeching Shining Armor’s love for Cadence, but it would be more than enough for whatever devious design she came up with.
“Hey, isn’t that Chrysalis?” A nearby pony tried to ask his neighbor in a low voice, but it wasn’t low enough to go unheard by the Queen.
“No, I don’t think so. I don’t remember her being rainbow colored. That changeling looks like it got run over by a paint wagon or something.”
“Ah. Wonder what it’s doing here.”
Chrysalis’s smile faltered, and she snarled to herself as her pace quickened. She wasn’t sure if she was more offended over being called an it, or the fact that her technicolor molt destroyed the air of seductive evil that she had spent decades perfecting. Once she was back to her original colors, she made a note to come back and show those two simpletons why she was the fearsome queen of the changeling hordes.
A deep roar from somewhere behind her brought the smile back in full force. Ponies began to scream, and a chunk of thatched roof went flying overhead. “Gee, I wonder if that horrible monster is aggravated. What an unfortunate shame that such a calamitous event has befallen this fair town! If only there was somepony who could save us!”
Sure enough, those magic words seemed to force the Element Bearers to appear. Chrysalis snickered as the six of them charged into battle without a sideways glance towards her, and she began to hum a happy tune to herself as she sidestepped the chimney that had been lobbed at Rainbow Dash.
There was nothing that picked up her spirits quite like the sounds of mayhem and destruction.
Oh boy
So thats the reason behind the bugbear attack.
I must say, I love it.
Careful, Chrysalis, that you don't get ahead of yourself.
Bigger things are at play.
