If Lotus's nighttime arrival in Equestria gave her a false impression of how different it could be from Earth, her first hoofsteps into Hono restored some of that initial sense of wonder.Its many houses and buildings were constructed in a rough semicircle around a large central square, stretching from one side of the village to the other. Though very few were built to any sane engineering standard she had ever seen. Most of those were in the center of the village, where a large wooden temple and various…-

There were many paths through history. When Quinn was young, he had already known in his imagination what his route would look like. He could picture his challenging education, the eventual completion of some important academic discovery, before eventually navigating his way to lead a scientific team on one of the fancy tech firms. Maybe he would work for Silph, or end up on an orbital lab somewhere. Though he had little interest in children, he might adopt one or two for Avery's sake, so long as she…-

Mrs. Boylston did not arrive the next day. Hayden did, as much out of spite as fear for what her adoptive mother would do. Part of her—or maybe part of Liz—wanted her to try and attack them again. Lady Gracadia hadn't technically told them they couldn't fight back, after all. They wouldn't have to break any instructions. But the tutor wasn't there. She waited in her seat, while the mew drifted lazily through the room, trying and failing to contain her boredom. She wasn't sure…-

Tailslide’s crassness was attracting attention. Ponies turned to stare in their direction. A few of them actually radiated concern for Amie, afraid that this obviously unwell, muscular stallion might be a danger to her. He might be, depending on just how unwell he was. But probably not for the reasons they feared. I can’t stay to talk to him now, or I’ll be even later than usual for Ivy. She can’t think she’s an afterthought. She closed the distance between them, lowering her voice as quiet as…-

Despite the fire in her body, despite the unimaginable disappointment, Faith still had the presence of mind to try and bow. She wanted to survive this meeting with the princess, after all. We knew this would happen eventually. The princess was going to figure out where we’d gone. Now we have to justify it. “Everything we did was my responsibility,” she said, before Arclight could do something stupid like trying to defend her. “Arclight tried to stop me. I forced him to bring me here.”Even moving…-

Kyle wasn’t sure what she would’ve expected from a grocery truck used to transport animals that shouldn’t exist. Maybe there would be a makeshift stable inside, with harnesses to contain them like dumb animals.It seemed the opposite was true, and barely anything had been done to accommodate them for the trip. There was shiny metal on the walls and floor where shelves running down either side of the truck looked freshly removed, but otherwise it hadn’t been altered at all. A large pile of moving…-

Somewhere far above an alien planet, Summer watched the rain.It came down in gentle sheets now, splashing off the waxed balloon. With nothing to buoy them forward but the gentle drift of high-altitude wind, she could stay dry as she watched. Somewhere far below was a dark red desert, parched land probably rejoicing at the moisture.Not her.Below her, she could make out a pair of faint voices, and the sound of tools on metal. She couldn’t have said what their chances were of getting moving again. What…-

Gina stumbled back from the flash, expecting to be consumed in a moment of terrible agony—and she found she was still alive. She blinked, still feeling the heat, before she realized what had happened. Isabel had conjured a wall of gray magic, separating the two of them from the flames. She grinned at the unicorn, nodding her appreciation—but there wasn’t exactly a chance to relax. The air was filling with heat, and smoke rose all around them. It wouldn’t take long before they couldn’t…-

Charlie did everything she could to be supportive, as much as any friend could. But Derek didn't get them home anytime in the next few weeks. The more time passed, the further divorced they grew from the reality they'd left behind—a few months, and all their possessions would be sold. A year, and their loved ones had already mourned their passing.That didn't mean Charlie stopped reminding her. She still wanted to get her old body back, and return to her old life. People had gone missing before, and…-

Journal,Lot to catch up on. Sorry I haven't had the time to dictate any of this. You'd think that even seeing Kaelynn, I'd still have time, since only one of us sleeps. But one of the biggest advantages to being a hideous freak is the productivity—while everyone but Jordan sleeps, I can keep working on the Bright Hawk.I really don't care that technically there's no time pressure. We're already declared dead. The search parties would've given up on finding us by now. Hopefully they didn't find an evil…-
