It's been months since the invasion of Canterlot. Chrysalis has been overthrown. The changelings are free from her rule. But when Celestia and Luna decree that they favor the integration of their species, many changelings learn the true nature of some ponies, as ponies learn the true nature of their own kind.
A story about standing up for yourself as much as anyone else. A tale of finding strength within yourself and using it to overcome adversity. A series of events that lead to friendship, and sometimes love, when you fight for a cause you believe in.

(The plethora of OCs present in the story were supplied by some friends of mine.
Tempest (aka Temporal Tune) was supplied by that creature that dwells in Flamerock, a fellow writer of stories, and a total Vinyl Fanboy. Did I mention that he's also my IRL Best Friend? Love Ya Buddy! Butt Stallion
Brainiac comes from the fair lady ZeFire01. An amazing artist with art ranging from, "Aw, how cute," to, "HolywhatthecrapI'mnotsleepingtonight!" She's also the one who drew the amazing sketch of Wolfe that can be found on my page.
Click Clack gave me permission to use his OC for this story. He is another writer of the Fics. And one of, no... The best detective I've ever seen. No Dangan Ronpa crossover story is safe from his eyes. I don't think he's ever failed to deduce the culprit.
Spot Weld was given to me by another writer under the name of SlayerHewkii. He's some guy that is as erratic as his name. Seriously, go check him out if you don't believe me. And leave a Lenny Face on his page while you're at it.)
I just love Changeling integration stories. I can't wait to see where this goes.
I really like this. Please continue

4802750 Luckily I still have a couple of lives left.
4802689 From the sun to the moon. And back.
I'm not sure being violently beat up on racial grounds warrants an "Everyone" tag
Interesting concept, but I can't help the feeling that something is off. It seems kind of...plain? Mundane? I guess it's just a starting point where you introduce some characters. Oh well.
Hola! Gotta say, I'm really enjoying this story so far. Keep it up man!
Just remember, whenever two characters are having a conversation, each character gets their own paragraph whenever it's their time to speak.
EX:
Do-
"Blah blah blah" Said (insert name here)
"Blah blah blah" Responded (Insert name here)
Don't-
"Blah blah blah" Said (insertname here). "Blah blah blah" Responded insert name here"
Alright, keep it up! This is gnarly!
What happens to those that already had homes? I mean you are not moving the entirety of changelings to pony society are you? Thats a crime if you do...
Is Chrysalis dead or imprisoned or stoned like Discord?
More please good sir.

I must have been blanking pretty bad. Thanks for pointing that out.
4804338 It shall be done.
4803704 We shall find out. Don't worry.
4803637 I'll look through it and try to fix wherever I forgot. Thanks!
This is definitely an interesting start. I'm going to wait a few more chapter before I give it a proper review.
4805990 Guess I'd better get typing then, huh?
4806013
You certainly won't hear any complaints here if you do!
hmm, good prologue, but i would like to hear more about the librarian. since he is the first character you introduced, he is the first I connected with as a reader, so it would just feel a bit halting if he were now cut completely. Not really a criticism, more me being a whiny bitch
but good start in my opinion.
4806172 I do plan on him making a reappearance, so don't worry. He's not out of the story yet.

Interesting so far. I shall favorite it for now. Too early to say if it's "good" or not, but it's promising and shows potential.
I think I'm going to like this story, now I just need to see more.
Interesting... not like most changelings eh? I'm watching you mister Mask! Actually ..... I guess I'm watching Wolfe.... and WindSilver
Wait... no... Whatever. Anyways, I like the set up, and I can not wait for more! Like and follow.
You might want to remove the typo from the story description, "by" not "buy"
4809838 Whoopsi Doodle.
Thanks. 
Can I has more?
4810862 Hmmm...
4810870
Is this story going to follow Intel Espionage, as well as Roles?
4811166 Mostly going to follow Roles. But I'm not finished with Intel yet.
4811171 Focus on both, maybe, at some point in the future?
But eh, I'll read it, based on what I've seen so far 
awww i feel bad for the librarian i hope he gets his justice D:
anyway interesting story! im a big fan and i cant wait to see more of this X3
4810877 I can't help but think of that scene from Filli Vanilli.
You have my attention, dear sir.
Now, act on it!
4803532
Is it really racial when they are a different species? Specist maybe.
4814806
I forgot the word back then. I meat xenophobic, as that is the correct term
4814842
Not really, that's showing hatred/fear of another country while in this case it's the direct species of Changling that they fear.
4815008
Nnnnnope
Xenophobia is the fear of strange.
4813832 Quite so. I'll get on that in just a tic then.
4815098 4815008 I think it would be best to label it as discrimination, because that's what it is at the core.
4810239 Great start to the story. Just enough to set the tone, and now we get to wait and see where it goes from here.
Holy spit, that was really good. I was not ready for that level!
The only criticism I can think of is the transfer from Intel to Mask, because it happened without warning. What I would suggest next time is doing Intel's segment in third person, especially if that's the only time there'll be another narrator. Multiple perspectives is a hard thing to do (which is why its so rare), but honestly its one of my favorite things to see.
That's my only real objection, but I don't care as long as I get to see what happens next. I legitimately feel like I'm reading a first hand account of one of those Little Rock Nine kids, which is great because I'm sure that's what you were going for.
Very nice start and I am eager to see where you take this story, as while it does have the general and generic standard opening of a new kid in a school that is at odds with everyone for obvious reasons, I feel that by your writing skills alone that this will be handled in a very unique fashion
4816593 Thank you, make sure your seat-belt is fastened and feel free to scream as loudly as you want. This ride is insane!
4817013 I was about to google that before I remembered. I was always bad with history. Ideas like that were definitely my inspiration, and you'll be seeing more of it before we're through. As well as ramblings from some crazy guy who watches way too much youtube, and wears his heart on his sleeve.
4818024 Thank you!!!! I don't plan on this being a new kid comes to school, faces adversity, makes friends, sings a song, and opens the mind of the school. There will be no singing, this ain't some Equestria Girls fic.
In all seriousness, I plan to make some people cry. I plan to make some people angry. I plan on people hating me for what I plan on doing because I hate myself a bit for thinking it.
4818406 One question for you though; how old is the protagonist?
I get the feeling that Mask is a teenager, but that's pure assumption.
4819116 In my mind, Mask is 16. But I believe that ponies are considered mature at the age of 17. And are able to live on their own at the age of 18. I'll make an author's note for this chapter to fully explain.
4818406 Perfect. Sometimes you have to write scenes where the hero doesn't get the girl, where the happy ending doesn't happen. Because that's how the story is meant to be. I cannot wait to see more from you.
I think that's a typo
But otherwise, this is a great start to a story! Hope to see more! ;D
4821370 o_O Whoopsie! I'll fix that. Thanks for pointing it out.
When can we expect another chapter?
4821783 I don't really have a schedule. I work on the chapters whenever I can. Once I'm finished I give it a proofread then upload it here. If I had to give you a time frame... I'd say no later than two weeks. Hopefully.
Hmm, this feels like we're not going to be overly Sunshine-y for most of the story. (looks at tags) oh duh....
Still, you have our interest, let's see what you can do with it, eh?
Keep going! ;)

4832226 lol that.... Would be interesting if you actually incorporated that....
