Hayden floated in the girls' bath. It was much bigger than anything on the other side, big enough for several to share it all at once if they wanted. Importantly, there was no one to tell her that she couldn't do it. There was no one to tell her not to fill the whole thing with hot water, and dump all kinds of different soaps in. These were her rules to make, or to break, however she wanted. She was still embarrassed when she looked down at herself in the water, at least some part of her was.…-

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…-

Blake sat up, shaking off a few stray bits of ice. He took in his surroundings in a few moments, trying to remember how he had gotten there. He was at the helm, which had changed quite a bit since the last time he'd seen it. Great gouges were ripped right into the wood in various places, with the wood compressed from the tight grip of hooves.His own. The flight came rushing back to him, the sight of a gigantic flying fortress bearing down on them from behind. The pirates they had defeated weren't quite…-

Starlight Glimmer stared down in horror as the coliseum floor exploded into activity. The smoke from a single gunshot still lingered in the air, obscuring the mob that was taking place below.She’d been worried enough for Velar’s fate as he began a duel without real weapons or flight against an enemy that was far larger and stronger than himself. But the not-prince hadn’t even seemed to hear her objections, or notice his mother’s terrified eyes.Then the slave he’d volunteered to save had shot him…-

Hayden met the princess on the castle ramparts. Princess Luna did not attempt to return to her disguise—considering the display she had just put on for every citizen in Icefalls, there probably wasn’t much of a point. She had acquired her sword, Achelois, probably through the same means Hayden had the last time she used it. I wonder what would happen if I was carrying it when she tried to summon it.Hayden landed behind her, the only pony who had dared approach her up here. There were a few guards on…-

Dear Journal,Today was the next big leap forward for my budding little colony. Gigantic leap. Astronomical. Maybe there’s a chance for us. Maybe not me, never me. I can’t. Sky, though. We have a chance. Maybe something of humanity will outlast our demise. See, I’m still human! I use words like “our”. Third person inclusive, that’s how excited I am.I have to include you. Overwhelming evidence indicates the person reading this is also a horsebeast. Probably me, since I can’t imagine anyone else…-

Ocellus winced, taking in the skepticism and quiet plotting from the agents. They plan on fighting. If we don’t convince them not to soon. They don’t like having this conversation on someone else’s terms.“I think you might have to come in. Make sure you tell the others not to get provoked into fighting. I don’t know what these humans want, but I think they’re just as confused as we are.”Marie didn’t reply, but she could hear voices on the other side of the door. Good for her, figuring out…-

For the first time since she settled, Hayden slept comfortably. It didn't matter if the bed was small and she had to share it with some goo, it was much nicer than any hotel in the whole world. But then came a knock on the door. The sky outside was still dim, with only distant street lights peering in through the cracks. It was Holland, his voice low and urgent. "Hayden? I'm sorry, you need to wake up. We have to get back to the hotel before sunrise." She yawned, then floated up out…

Firefly flew before a structure of impossible size, whose origin made even less sense to her. She had spent years in the Cumulus Maze, exposed to every kind of structure imaginable. She had flown through monuments to unknown gods, civilizations long forgotten in the mists of history, as well as modern buildings that could be a trip to visit River.Never in all that time had she ever seen a structure built inside a thundercloud—it went against everything she knew about clouds. Those things take incredible…-

Vesper was in no hurry to leave the old mine—in terms of places to fly, it was about perfect. Not blinding, like the outside could be during full sun. Most of the cavern was swallowed in total darkness, but occasionally shafts of light pierced through the crystal walls from distant openings. There were magical lanterns too, but that was exactly where she shouldn't go. If a tour finds us down here, they might up their security.Maybe she should talk to Pale Light about the Worldgate they'd found—some…
