It took Ashton several days to be willing to talk to his totally-not-dead-but-basically-gone-forever best friend again. Thanks to the method of Emmet’s departure, his friend had given him much to deal with. He was eighteen now, and all that stupid money and property was now in his name. Or it was, after days of sitting in a lawyer’s office, filing things in public buildings, and making funeral arrangements for the last scion of a now-dead family. Despite his objections, his family was moving into the…-

Quinn should have seen this coming. As they crept towards the rear parking lot, no less than three harsh figures in Plasma uniforms shuffled around the space. One lingered by the door, another by the security booth leading to the road, and a third patrolled between cars. All were armed, and looked to have Poké Balls protruding from their vests and coats as well. There would be no quiet exit from the BBLEC. Quinn, Avery, and their Pokémon companions lingered in the trees overlooking the parking lot,…-

The MoonSo far as transitions went, at least they hadn’t fallen to their deaths or been beaten to a bloody pulp this time. Jackie felt a little pain in her eyes adjusting to the light, but not for long. It was only the moon, and the cold evening air was refreshing against her coat. She shook once, soaking it in and letting herself breathe.She could hear the sound of numberless changelings in a swarm chittering and calling to one another, then a crack as the portal behind them sealed closed. Then it was…-

Whenever Alex was stressed, she went to her garden.She hadn't had a talent for it before the Event. She had killed everything she touched back then; in the days when she had fingers and toes on the end of her limbs instead of hooves.Magic had changed that, much as it had changed everything. Alex's little home was located in downtown Alexandria, and was one of the few homes with enough of the expensive real estate to have a garden out back. Oliver had done most of the planting, though he rarely had the time…-

Avery felt… less.For a long time it was all she could manage to lay in bed and try to figure out what was different. Except her bed didn’t feel like a bed at all, but like a slab of something rough and rigid, grating against her coat. She belonged somewhere else, but she couldn’t name the where.I tried the ritual last night. I agreed to pay… something… for Julian. He should be cured. What had the night matron said? “I will take away your hoofprints from fate, so you can slip through its…-

Hayden looked in, surveying her new living quarters. Her wings twitched a little as she did so, betraying some of her worry that this might be a trick. How easily would it be to trick her into a cell, where she could be locked away and made to be quiet. They still hadn’t given her back her gun, which hardly filled her with trust.But it wasn’t a cell, didn’t seem to have a lock at all in fact. In terms of living quarters, Hayden would’ve compared it with an upscale hotel… or at least an upscale…-

I don't know what time it is. I don't know where this is. I don't know when this is. I don't know what I am. Right. Deep breath, Ryan, we can do this. We can do this. I can do this. Okay, good. The others can't hear me here. God only knows how this recording is going to turn out when this is all said and done, but if I don't get it all down, then I never will.I'm going to die in this desert, and no one will ever find it. But hey, at least if future archeologists ever find this voice recorder they’ll be…-

Sunset Shimmer took the polished metal knob in one of her paws, half expecting the door to be as locked as any of the others she had tried. It twisted easily and she strode into the empty classroom.Well, almost empty. There was a single row of desks inside, and an instructor standing by a chalkboard. The woman seemed to come to life as Sunset entered, her head twisting around and a practiced smile on her face.She looked a little different than the other builders Sunset had seen so far, at least by physical…-

Jackie didn’t have the time to visit the Ponyville market, unfortunately. As much as there was some part of her that wanted to vanish into the native civilization and never surface again, she knew that was impossible. Not only that, but Jackie hadn’t lasted as long as she had with poor survival instincts. She could feel the imminent conflict. Thanks to her past experience, she also knew that the best way to survive a war was to make herself someone her government couldn’t afford to lose. Doing some…-

Chapter 4: Past and Future“And you’re sure Rarity won’t mind?” Chance asked, surveying the substantial pile of soft pillows they had acquired from every bed and shelf and closet in the Carousel Boutique. It had taken several trips, since neither of them had the use of their magic, but the other filly didn’t seem to mind. Actually she didn’t seem to notice at all, as though this was the way things normally were. Chance tripped twice trying to drag a huge body-pillow up a set of steps, but in…-
