Marie’s eyes were glued to the television as they never had been before in her entire life.What she was seeing was impossible. But as she watched, there was no announcement that this was really just the trailer from some upcoming movie. There was no “April fools.” If the BBC was playing a prank on people, this was far more incredible than any spaghetti trees.“Authorities say the creature was spotted near Brighton pier at about six in the morning today,” said the bland presenter, looking as…-

Evoli ruled over half the world.In a way, her campaign had felt almost too easy. After the death of Manipura, Visuddha’s territory had come next. The especially pure queen’s army had not done her much good, even if her spies had been better than Manipura’s. But seeing Evoli’s army coming was not the same thing as stopping it. After a few hours of siege, Evoli had taken her capital with most of its controllers and males.That Viśuddha had escaped with her retinue was only a slight annoyance to her.…-

Coming to Fluttershy with a strange animal problem made sense. It was exactly the sort of advice a responsible pony like Twilight would’ve given her. Unfortunately for her, Fluttershy herself was hardly the most objective when it came to animals.Getting inside had been enough of a challenge in itself. But now Rainbow was here, staring at her friend with an expectant expression. “So, Fluttershy. What kind of… wolf-monsters are we, exactly?”Fluttershy was on her hooves—paws, circling around Rainbow…-

Eric faced Adriana, frozen in place. Except for the tail, which swished nervously back and forth. His ears moved too, both entirely out of his control."Did someone let an animal in?" someone else asked. "What do we do, call animal control?"John stepped forward, lifting his safety glasses away from his eyes. "Sure is dressed like Eric. I thought I was losing my mind, watching him one line over. But I can see it. That purple thing on his face...""Help me," he pleaded, abandoning all semblance of imitating…-

Sweet Sauce remembered predators like these—though nopony was sure if timberwolves were even capable of eating the ones they caught. They were manifestations of the untamed wild places, and protected them fiercely. To see them here did not bode well for the state of the castle.“What are those things?” Pipsqueak asked, continuing towards the bridge. It wasn’t much of a bridge, just half-rotten wooden beams, and threadbare rope. It wouldn’t be able to carry the load of the many hundreds of carts…-

Hayden tossed and turned in his basement bedroom, alone in the dark. Every child spent their later years dreaming about this moment, when they finally got to come into their own and grow up for real.

It was a rough night. Not just for Amie—compared to most of the other campers, she was coping fantastically well. With almost everyone sleeping together in the same room, she heard everything. She couldn’t sleep. From the number of other voices, from the people shifting around in the dark, she wasn’t the only one. How could anyone possibly get comfortable in a body that just didn’t make sense? No matter how she tossed and turned, the body never felt like hers. She was imprisoned in a cell that…-

The first time Orson visited the gamespace, it had been like visiting a model home. Clean and perfect, without any distractions that might take away from the property he was meant to see.Even knowing he was wearing a headset, Orson was taken aback as the gaming room formed around him. Thick smoke filled the room, burning from an oversized cigar resting in an ashtray at the head of the table. An entire band stood on the far end, playing what looked like period accurate medieval instruments. How they could…-

Lyra dreamed long, strange dreams. In the pale grip of sleep, she found herself in Sugarcube Corner—except the shake she ordered grew to tremendous size in front of her, and she fell in with a splash. She managed to grip onto the straw with her teeth, sipping desperately at what little air she could get while her whole body went numb from the cold.She wanted to call out for help, but she couldn’t move, couldn’t even muster the strength to yell for Bon Bon. Her friend might’ve been able to save her…-

Applejack (Engineering, Hydroponics) Twilight stared unblinking into her mirror, eyes watering even with the assistance of a pair of new plastic glasses. A thin line of fuzzy mane had sprouted in the week since she had first woken, the only healthy color on her whole body. Patches of her fur were still missing, with splotches of grayish skin visible underneath. But they’d started to itch terribly, which the manual told her meant they were healing. The joys of being generation one. She could only hope…-
