"Admiral, meet Delta," Felicity said, the first to break the silence. She walked along beside the plant, close enough that she could be near her the whole way. Someone had to be close enough to protect her. For whatever good it would do them."I am... friendly to meet you," Delta said. Her whiplike tail flicked through the air behind her. But Felicity wasn't sure the admiral would even understand equine body language. Maybe some of these scientists would.One of them was the first to break the silence.…-

After all the nightmares Lane had been through thus far, the trip to Saffron was surprisingly uneventful. Mostly it was incredibly dull, with a few brief flashes of fear when the meal-cart arrived and she had to hide her companions in a hurry. Other than that, the trip was downright peaceful. If Korina was there, she probably would've chided her for not getting more practice with her powers. But Lane wasn't sure she could get the human body back if she lost it, and she wasn't going to…-

Lotus waited by the cliff as the pegasi descended, backing only far enough away that she wouldn't be so close to the precarious edge. Not that she was afraid of heights exactly, but... she didn't have wings. The last thing she needed was a fatal fall only a few minutes before her rescue!She took a few seconds to straighten her mane as best she could, settle her saddlebags onto her shoulders.Then they arrived. Two of the three remained in the air, about twenty feet up. They circled slowly around, as though…-

Hayden walked slowly through the library, searching for any sign of the other mew. The space was big for the home of one person, with two floors and many study tables and comfortable chairs to read from. There were signs of occupation everywhere—piles of books were arranged near many of them, with many titles propped open. He's not a ghost. There's a mew in here somewhere. She stopped by the door Ilene had used, levitating it open a crack. But there was no one there, mew or otherwise. "I…-

Her two campers stared back, as relieved as they were confused. Not that Beth and Rick didn't want to leave. They had already done it once, and neither wanted to return. They hadn't said so, but Amie could... feel it. How did I not notice this when I was still living in camp? How has no one noticed?"Can you do that?" Rick asked. "I thought you said ponies wanted to kill us. If they caught us, they'd... they'd think we were invaders, and they were justified.""They would," she said, rising from her hooves.…-

Of course they didn’t fly straight from Seaquestria after that. There was one place left for them to go—a promise she’d made to be kept.It wasn’t hard to find the Harmonizing Heights, particularly when every creature in the city couldn’t say enough about them. After being forced to sit through the court proceeding that might abruptly take away her ability to go home, Summer was thrilled to be out moving again, with her hooves on solid ground. “Hopefully you haven’t been too bored,” Sharp…-

Silver Star wandered through the alleys of Moonrise, as though drawn by an invisible thread. He looked for Dusty in his usual corner shelter of crates and old blankets, but found no light glowing from inside. A little further he slowed for the Primrose twins, to rehearse his usual ritual of denying interest in their entirely legitimate establishment. But they too were nowhere to be seen. He sped up, eyes growing more furtive as he passed from the stone district into market district. He dodged a few leaks…-

A demon Lilac had called from beyond the bounds of time and the depths of space pounded on its steel door, clawing to get inside. Its shouts were agony in her ears, not because of any magic, but because she was beginning to understand what it said.If it caught them here, it would do worse than kill them. Her friends would die, and it would be her fault. Worst of all, she knew it would attack her last. She wouldn't even have the sweet release of death to take away the pain of guilt. It would want her to…-

Kyle was frozen for at least a minute, staring through the window. She should probably have adjusted by now to the people around her grandfather not reacting to the strangeness of her appearance. She wasn’t, though.“Pleased to meet you too,” Kara said, speaking before she could. “Or, see you through a wall. We haven’t got to talk to a lot of different people lately, you can guess. It’s cool to talk to somebody else.”Is it that hard to be around me, Kara? Akiko chuckled politely, though her…-

It wasn't good to be a fish.Kaelynn had ample reminders of that fact anytime she wanted to leave her sequestered corner of the Bright Hawk, even for brief social interactions with her friends.When leaving for anything more, there was a good chance she would end up getting into even more trouble.I should've just waited in the tank. There wasn't anything I could do to help. It wasn't true, though. By the time she'd dragged Ryan back to the tank, he barely had enough strength left to change back into…-
