Despite her fears, Rose found "calling" work to be far less of a big deal than she would've thought. She'd seen Tracy play with that slab of metal and glass he called a "phone" plenty of times, and knew where he kept it. As he had suggested, getting it to listen to her required she use a stylus in her mouth, tapping and scrolling before she finally found the place he had suggested. Daisy and Lily would have nightmares about trying to figure this out, she thought. She tapped the “speaker” button, and it…-

Tracy watched Rose closely, even more than his friends from Ely. She’d be the one he had to deal with tonight, regardless of how things went with them.“I was just… going to ask if you wanted breakfast,” she asked, tail flicking nervously behind her. But she hadn’t run for her life, screaming about how he was about to lead an invasion of Equestria. That was probably the closest to a victory he’d win tonight.“No thanks,” he said, the subtlest permission he could think of to let her leave.…

There were many paths through history. When Quinn was young, he had already known in his imagination what his route would look like. He could picture his challenging education, the eventual completion of some important academic discovery, before eventually navigating his way to lead a scientific team on one of the fancy tech firms. Maybe he would work for Silph, or end up on an orbital lab somewhere. Though he had little interest in children, he might adopt one or two for Avery's sake, so long as she…-

Charlie wasn't going to cry, she wasn't going to cry, she wasn't going to cry. She was too big for that, too old for that, too brave. The last time she had cried, it was because there was bone poking through her skin from a devastating compound fracture. Yet the horse's words cut even deeper than any broken leg. Bones could be reset, legs stitched, and muscles mended. But what if she never got to see her home again?"I have a..." She tried to form words, but her tongue tripped over itself. Some of them hurt…-

Edgar loomed over Kyle. For a few seconds she was struck by just how tall he was. Of course Dad was about the same height, but he never felt half as intimidating. Edgar, though…She recognized him perfectly, but even so there was something strange and out of place about seeing him so close. He was supposed to exist in angry letters and half-heard phone calls, not the real world.“You’re not terrified of us?” Kara asked, sliding past Kyle without slowing for a second. She spoke with her same…-

Fay might be a horrifying creature from beyond time and space, but she was still a baby. After transforming the reality inside the old stable, she didn't stay awake long. Or maybe it was just having somewhere familiar to sleep. Either way, Kyle was soon left with a little time to herself to try and work things out.The stable still had a single electrical outlet, right beside the door. She plugged in the laptop, sitting around the corner so she wouldn't disturb the baby. Using it would make for good…

Twilight landed with an explosion of light and sound. She was barely even conscious of the drop through the air, to land roughly on ground charred by the magic of their passing. Her ears rang and bright white splotches were all she could see. Even so she clutched at her necklace with one hoof, desperate for the touch of something familiar.Yes, the power of her spells was still here. Just as a world close enough for Flurry to survive would probably have life that was similar to theirs, it would also need…

Dominic glared into the tub, expression unreadable. But despite how much time had passed since last they were together, Lane thought she could feel something familiar from him. He was frustrated with her lackadaisical attitude, but only because of how much he cared. He broke the stare first, glancing briefly down at Lane's chest. His wings buzzed nervously, and he lifted suddenly into the air, hovering right up into her face. "That worked with the club, Lane. This was just a hobby for us…-

Adrian tried to get Riley to come back to their outpost several times, but no promise could elicit her to leave. Telling her about the real mattresses or the hot water for a shower didn’t either. It wasn’t entirely her fault; the others had made their way upstairs to see her one after the other, and none had been very friendly.If he had been upset with Alex’s reaction, the others outright disgusted him. He could only imagine the things they were saying about her in the lobby. He couldn’t even go…-

If Lane hadn't been so exhausted, she would've wanted to follow Elisa through the ruin, in case some danger lurked that a human might miss. But she didn't have the energy to stay up for such a search. They made it through the door together, and she was already looking for somewhere to lie down. Elisa's pockets would've been fine, if she had any. But without one... This far from civilization, there was no sign the old building had been ransacked, as she might've otherwise…
