I didn’t fall off during the trip into the sky. There was more than a little reason to be afraid—with no walls and only a thin wooden platform to separate me from certain death by falling, I wasn’t exactly confident. But despite her protests of its speed, Radiant Dawn seemed to know exactly where to stand so it wouldn’t tilt too far.Lifting up gave me a great view of the city, one that made me wish I’d brought more than my notebook and questions for the emperor. Seeing everything from so…-

Mira woke to a world of shifting voices and frightened whispers. She groaned, rubbing one hoof against her forehead.

Fighting the princess of Equestria exacted a strain beyond simple tiredness—it left her wrung dry, like a fruit left too long in the sun.Yi is…-

This was by far the worst—never before had she stuck around until the very end. She couldn't just be a passive participant in this one—almost everypony in the room wanted to talk to her and Scootaloo, even if it was just for a few moments."You're a hero," said a hundred ponies, a hundred different ways.

Travel was a strange thing when you barely perceived the passage of time. Like many animals, her world was soon ruled by the dominance of the flow from day to night, though that passage was far more real for her. While her animal self could take near-total control of her metabolism and waking/sleeping rhythm with the right alterations to diet and possible addition of a few simple drugs, being a plant did not grant her that luxury.For one, she couldn’t sink too low while she swam, or else pass into an…-

“We’re on the right track,” Marie announced, for perhaps the third time in an hour. Of course there was no evidence that they were going the right direction. Nothing suggested they were going wrong either. “Sure we are,” Helen said. “An’ maybe we’re not just wastin’ our time here tryin’ to find something that doesn’t exist. It’s just marketing, Marie. I don’t know how to tell you. But if there was really somethin’ goin’ on, the whole bloody army would be here. There ain’t no…-

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…

Orson stood still through the appropriately dramatic magical transition. Lights, and the world fuzzed at the edges. But as impressive as it looked, he couldn’t forget that he was really just standing in his living room. There was nothing magical here, nothing but an overreaching toy company and some decent-enough voice recordings.Then he landed. A faint grid appeared near his back, turning darker and redder the closer he got. In front his path was unimpeded, however, giving him a clear view of the gaming…-
