".....The hell are you talking about?"
"Changelings. Insect-like shapeshifters that feed on love."
".....I still have no idea what you're talking about."
"Changelings," Princess Luna said, furrowing her brow. "are a species of insect creatures, somewhat akin to ponies, that possess the ability to transform into different forms and feed on love, among other things."
"....Really." said Horace. "I, um...never heard of them....And you, uh, think that they're responsible for...all of this?"
"Not at first." Princess Luna said. "But it has become clear to me that all of this--the addiction of our subjects to Good N' Burger, the growing violence and discord, the complete disruption of our society--could have only come about through the manipulations of some unknown third party."
"That seems....unlikely." Horace said. "What makes you figure?"
"Isn't it strange," Princess Luna said. "that as soon as ponies first came to earth, there existed a form of food that not only causes total and uncontrolled infatuation in its consumers, but also makes them grow immensely fat and slow?"
"...Not really, no." Horace said. "We just all thought it was bad luck on our part, that's all."
"We thought it to be the case as well." Princess Luna confessed. "Until we noticed the sheer speed at which that one particular fast food chain was able to switch its products over to fare suitable for ponies? Good N' Burger used to be an entirely ordinary restaurant, wasn't it?"
Horace nodded. "I...I guess that's true."
"How about the fact that the entirety of Equestria's government has been effectively subdued?"
"That....well, that is pretty unfortunate, I guess."
"Of course, it's also true that the current CEO of Stop N' Burger actually appeared out of nowhere just a few months ago, and was somehow able to take over despite being a complete outsider with no background whatsoever."
"....Really?"
"Really." Princess Luna said. "All of which, I do so fear, could only be the work of one Queen Chrysalis, leader of the Changelings."
"....All right, then." Horace said. "So a species of shapeshifting bugs came to earth, took over a fast food chain, and change the recipe to make ponies fat. That makes sense."
"Don't mock!" Princess Luna said. "You have no idea of what both our worlds face!"
"Sorry, sorry!" Horace said. "I'm just...I'm just a little overwhelmed, that's all."
"I understand, young one." Princess Luna said. "But we need you to trust us in this."
"I do."
"Good." Princess Luna said. "Search out those who run Stop N' Burger, and discover the truth...."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
