The longer Tracy remained at the stall, the greater hunger and exhaustion began to weigh on him. It might seem like day, but as the sun reached noon that meant midnight in the “real” world. Six hours of sleep if he could get home right then.He’d probably have settled for a Rockstar, if there were any for sale in an alien world. But there were no disgusting energy drinks for sale, at least not at any of the neighboring stalls. There were more customers than he might’ve thought for a little flower…-

She didn't have far to fly before she saw the first flutters of motion underneath. Lyra blinked, focusing her attention on a single patch of forest distinct from the others. Not just movement, but purpose. She felt the order that came from sapient creatures, imposed on a world that did not always welcome their intrusion.Someone was alive on this mountain. It could be almost anyone, if they weren't in the middle of an awful storm after all the roads and highways out of Canterlot were totally locked down.As…-

Delta didn’t react at first, as Effervescent Meridian faded further and further into the distance. Though part of that might just have been Felicity’s inability to judge their implications. The plant-beings were so alien to everything she knew that she still couldn’t tell for sure if their visual communication was even intentional or not.As she left Effervescent Meridian behind, she felt something pulling her onward, though not quite in the direction she was moving. “That’s the signal we’re…-

The Storm King loomed over the room like an awful shadow, holding the staff firmly in both hands. Pale blue light radiated from a crystal at its tip, as though a single bolt of lightning was held back from striking perpetually. He seemed to ignore Golden completely, his attention focused mostly on Starlight."You're the one who defeated the crystal prison? I did wonder if somepony would manage it sooner or later. Not that it does you any good." He walked right past her, up to where the tallest princess…-

"It's called Starfall," Lane began. "Korina didn't discover it—her ancestors built it. From what I've seen, they came here from somewhere incredibly far away. Nothing humans could do right now. This place makes our best space-station look like a toy." "I'd never believe that on the surface," Elisa muttered, pawing at her food. One thing they hadn't been given was utensils—evidently that was too human an expectation. She nudged her food, then…-

I froze in the doorway. I wanted to turn and run—though I knew better than to try. Princess Twilight moved the sun. She’d fought creatures with power that I could barely comprehend.Besides, I didn’t want to look like a coward in front of Dawn. If I could survive flying lessons, I could survive this. Maybe.“You’re, uh… Princess… something… Princess…”“Twilight Sparkle,” I finished for her, shutting the door behind us and making my way inside. Nothing left to do now but face the music.…-

There was limited space on the scroll, and Ocellus concentrated with all her magic, writing as tiny and neatly as she could.“Dear Princess Twilight,We’re writing to you not because we’re in immediate danger, but because we believe Equestria is. It’s possible you have already made contact with the humans and we’re wasting the scroll. If so, we’re sorry.Earth is not like Equestria. You can already see how small Equestria is compared to Earth continents. That space isn’t empty—there are…-

Cold water washed around Lotus, taking with it the heat of many bad decisions. Once even a few seconds in such an uncomfortable space would've driven her to finish cleaning up as quickly as possible, before stumbling out of the shower with desperate, insatiable shivering.No longer. Something about the kirin's disposition, or maybe the supernatural heat boiling in her belly, kept her from feeling anything but a pleasant coolness against her skin and scales. With every passing second, calm and confidence…-

Sweet Sauce opened his eyes, and saw another time. The Castle of the Two Sisters was no longer a ruin of nameless age, moldering in obscurity in a forest overcome by chaos magic. Instead it formed the capital of a great city of Harmony, with thousands of structures packed tightly around it. He found himself inside a vast laboratory, only one level beneath the surface of the castle. A stairwell led directly into the ceiling of the room above, providing quick access to the kitchens. But this memory had…-

Many years later. "You sure you have to go?" Mom asked, stopping her in the kitchen. "There's no reason you have to take this assignment, kitten. You could stay here another century if that's what it takes. Or maybe get a nice job in operations or maintenance." Avery adjusted the vest on her chest, securing the buttons there one at a time. She levitated the plastic clip out of her fur, then replaced it on a thicker patch so it wouldn’t move. It didn't matter if other…-
