It was night in the strange field where humans were forbidden to go. That was no problem anymore, now that there were no humans around. After a whole day of little green and white bodies crowding close to Elisa, questioning her so vigorously about the outside world that their voices blended together—Lane finally got them to leave her alone. There was only one way to do it: carry Elisa and the pokéball back up to the ruined house. "We're leaving at sunrise tomorrow," Cedar said, the…-

Sweetie Belle could get used to her new body. It wasn't the kind of lesson she could learn in a day, or even a week. There was no magic switch she could flip and suddenly be comfortable with her greater height, strength, and grace. All that took the adaptation circuits Lucid had told her about, and that hardware took a long time to work. But it did work.As the days passed, she became far less overwhelmed by the return of two old but familiar senses. Touch and smell were back, far stronger than she had…-

This wasn't the first time Jordan had looked particularly grumpy to be disturbed. Between the smell and the graceful way he curled up in his sleep, Blake half-expected to be chastised for breaking into the bedrooms for the wrong sex. Jordan took a moment to rise, shaking the sleepiness from his eyes.Blake backed away, giving his friend some space. Space would let him ignore his senses, and remind himself of the person living inside that body. These feelings were involuntary, and they were only skin deep.…-

Apparently waiting in a tank could get worse. Kaelynn could've been waiting in a tank without proper water circulation. While their desert journey had at least had enough volume that the first few days weren't so bad, the transport tank aboard the Bright Hawk was far smaller. While cheers shook the top of the ship, suggesting rescue in sight, Kaelynn was left to simmer in a gross tank, feeling increasingly like fish soup.But then she heard footsteps, or hoofsteps anyway. She sat up, shifting her weight…

The machine was speaking to her. Not the way the elevator had spoken, with its voice obviously recorded. It might’ve sounded clearer, but the spell could’ve just as easily been a gramophone. But this, this was something else. It spoke, and Lyra could hear the subtle differences in tone and pronunciation. It spoke Old Ponish as though it had done so all its life. “Where are you speaking from?” Lyra asked, propping her forelegs up on the railing and staring into the glass cube. This had to be some…-

Harlequin froze completely still as the guard met her eyes; horror plastered all over her face. They found us. She hadn’t been in this colony one day and Equestria had found them. This is when we get shut down and we all starve, just like before. It was like the voice said. They weren’t part of a story, so they were destined to lose. Every single thing they tried…“You, uh… I kind of expected you to be more charming than this, if I’m being honest.” The guard walked slowly up to her, apparently…-

The balcony they planned to use was used by many of Unity’s winged inhabitants, or at least the ones that claimed to come from Equestria.Sven was not excited about the part of their plan that involved being carried down to the window, but what other options did they have? They had plenty of time to practice the maneuver without a…-

Another terrible crash shook the ground all around Mira. She hovered high enough that she wasn't jostled, but the shelves weren't so lucky. One of the nearby sections rocked backward, then toppled over with a crash. Wood splintered, and dense map-scrolls went flying.The impact was enough to dislodge the next shelf in line, which crashed as it toppled too, perpetuating a chain-reaction of book destruction.The little kitten had clearly seen enough—she wedged into the saddlebags, and barely even poked her…-

The worst part for Sweet Sauce wasn't living with an earth pony. If anything, Octavia did a far better job matching his expectations for decorum.

So long as Sweet made it to class on time, and got his homework done, the rest was up to him.No, the worst part of Sweet's new life in Equestria was what didn't happen. The new princess knew what he was, knew…-
