Twilight Sparkle knew something was wrong from the first moment she woke. She could feel it in her fur, from the tip of her nose right down to her tail. She yawned, stretched, then shook herself out, rising from her bed.Well, she would’ve stood up from the bed, except that she was no longer resting with calm poise right on the edge of the bed from one side. Rather, she was now completely surrounded by a sea of blankets, expanding around her in all directions and blocking out the light. While this…-

“So if everyone here is really a pony, you must be a Unicorn.” Danielle seemed the least surprised that they weren’t alone, or at least the best at hiding her surprise. “Right?”“Nope.” Harley leaned back in her chair. “Just because most of them are ponies doesn’t mean we all are. Not many of the other races came to Earth… and believe me, I’d kill for someone with some actual backbone for a partner on rescue missions… there are a few.”“I’m surprised you aren’t back out…-

Shiloh hovered opposite the celebi, there in the backyard of some small town house. She couldn’t describe exactly what about the other Pokémon made him so interesting to her. Maybe it was being about the same size—maybe it was the pleasant mixture of natural smells and ozone from his jaunt through space and time. Maybe it was those dark eyes, that looked right into hers and seemed to know all kinds of things about her. "How do you know my name?" she repeated. "Celebi?" Aspen…-

Felicity swam away from the entrance, leaving the fast-moving shadows behind on the other side of the glass. There was no way to look in that direction without feeling at least a little self-conscious—what was Escape Gear thinking, looking at her strange body through the glass? Would they ever speak again?Delta wasn't patient enough to wait, though, and swam along just beside her. One tentacle trailed against the metal at all times, though Felicity couldn't tell if she was investigating or afraid of…-

Snacks procured, and soon they were on their way. Derek expected a servant to come rushing for them at any second, hurrying to drag them back to captivity in the vast manor house. The servant never came, and so every step made her feel freer.They crossed through the holdings of House Vale, past fields of things she couldn't identify. Maybe those stalks were corn?
