"I'm glad," said the horse who called herself “Starlight Glimmer.” "Because I wouldn't know what to do if you hadn't."Her horn started to glow. Phil backed away, and several of his companions did as well, staring with open shock and confusion at the manifestation before them. Even stranger, something lifted into the air from her fallen clothing—a little folded sheet of paper covered in strange markings."He doesn't speak for all of us," Carlos said, his voice as angry as Phil still felt. "Your cause…-

Lane had been looking for hours. Turning back to the convention had been an easy choice at first—all the data in the world about legendary Pokémon assembled into one place, obviously the answers would be here. But while there were whole sections about the climate instability caused by some recent disaster or another, and even some credibility given to an absurd region worshiping a goat-thing and some egg, Mew was almost deliberately absent. After an hour of finding nothing and ignoring texts from his…-

I knew that getting the princess of all Equestria alone for an interview like this was a rare opportunity. It can take weeks to make it to the front of the queue for the Eventide Court.But for all that, her appearance across the table from me was not that different from many of the other scholars I’ve spoken to about this matter. She fidgeted, glancing over at my various notes. It was no wonder Equestria had done so well in my lifetime, with a princess who cared so much about every miniscule detail. Even…-

Twilight rose in time with the slight jolt of the Celestia’s Grace as they finally settled into place, landing struts extended. The rumble of their engines faded into the distance, and for a moment they were left in silence.Out the windows all around them, she could see the landing field. A field was exactly what it looked like, with a soft purple grass punctuated with gray flowers. Or… maybe she just didn’t have the right senses to appreciate the color. “This is the capital of the galaxy?”…-

Jackie blinked, realizing that Harley had stopped talking. The whole world suddenly seemed to come back into focus, as from a dream. She yawned, stretched, looked around. Not even one of the chairs all around her was occupied anymore. Worse, it had only been twenty minutes. Her limbs were stiff, as though she’d just sat through all of One Piece without getting up.“That’s wrong,” Katie said, glaring up at Harley as though she had just admitted to strangling her dog. “You shouldn’t have done…-

The world returned to Ocellus with a crash. Water smacked up against the side of the Solidarity, and yet it wasn’t moved at all. There was no more bobbing, no floating. She jerked suddenly awake, horn coming alight with green magic to light her way.She was below deck, in the single large space that was their sleeping area. Blankets, hammocks, and clothing had gone everywhere, covering the ground with a thick layer of cloth. Instead of being behind her, the stairs were on the wall, and gray light came…-

She could see through the eyes of the first drone as it died. She could feel its pain, however shallow and insignificant such creatures were capable of feeling pain. It wasn’t intelligent—none of her new drones were, and so there was no terrible mourning to be had. Every drone asleep in her hive woke at once, hurrying to the armory as those patrolling the outside retreated through the burrows.She got her first glimpse of the attackers—more drones, though they obviously belonged to a different swarm.…-

Twilight knew she couldn’t remain in the kitchen for any length of time without getting caught. It was the highest-traffic part of the castle, with dozens of ponies passing through it along their daily routines. Anything she did would have to be subtle, using her most careful stealth to avoid being seen.Then again, nopony knows what I look like. How would they know it’s me taking things from the kitchen? Of course if they had, she wouldn’t have had to worry. It was her castle, her food to take if she…-

It took Eric just over an hour to take care of everything. He brought the small horse around to the back, then onto the kitchen table, where he could work in the brightest light. Only there could he easily strip away the creature's unusual clothing, and tend to his wounds. They weren't just “clothes,” though. The horse was armored, he had no doubt in his mind. Judging by his injuries, that armor might have saved the horse's life.Once it was off, and the animal underneath exposed in the bright light of…-

Sweet Sauce approached the tower of the structure the unicorn called the “Castle of Friendship.” At a glance, it seemed like “Friendship Spire” or “Crystal Monolith” would probably make a better fit. And why was it shaped like a tree?Equestria had become a strange place since his departure. If he wanted to be home here, sooner or later he would have to figure out why.But not now. There were simpler goals before him now. First he had to pass the watchful eyes of the Royal Guard, with uniforms…-
