As he soon learned, tracking Avery down wouldn't be as simple as flying to a specific place, or even a direct teleport there by one of his powerful new friends. The cats kept a tight perimeter around their primary settlement, and would capture him long before he got close. Even traveling through time would do him no good if each era had similar protection.. But he didn't have to find Avery in Starfall. He had already told her where to meet him. All he had to do was leave something behind for her…-

It was another late shift.Many of Elliot's coworkers loathed the overnight, with its long stretches of nothing broken only rarely by the occasional trucker or weirdo. Far from avoiding it, Elliot often volunteered.There was something honest about only a few tables at a time, delivering bizarre orders to those customers who rolled in when honest folk were asleep. Overnights were the shift for long conversations, for wild tangents and getting on a first-name basis with the regulars.Ruby wasn't as fond of…-

Tracy had only a split second to prepare for impact. Needless to say, the collision ended up non-lethal. She struck him with both forelegs, but without much force. He fell sideways, with the bat crouching over him like a cat who had just claimed a particularly juicy rodent. Given their teeth, he could only be grateful that he wasn't a mouse right now. Did bats eat mice? "I didn't know there were any bats in... where is this?" She grinned down, one hoof rested on his belly so he couldn't get up. Not without…-

The mechanical gate jerked and groaned as two men in suits reached under it, forcing it open faster than it could move. One rolled underneath, stepping beside Grandpa with a weapon drawn. He put himself directly in Kyle's path, though he didn't quite point the gun at her."N-no, stop..." Grandpa took a single deep, rasping breath. He reached up, settling one hand on the man's shoulder and pulling himself to full height. "Don't... don't hurt my grandchildren." His eyes were wide, bloodshot. "God in heaven, I…-

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…-

Lane probably shouldn't have been so excited about something so simple as a bath. But with as busy as Korina had kept her the last week or so, there had been very little time for anything quite so relaxed. Granted, the process of taking Elisa along made the trip a little more complicated, since she had to levitate the other cat through the air. Despite more time for practice, Elisa hadn't yet mastered anything as dramatic as levitation. "Are you feeling better?" Lane asked, as they…-

Amie stayed with him through the night. She helped with the painful preening process Tailslide had been putting off for weeks, watching as he tore out broken and damaged feathers, and put the rest in order. They talked over tea, then he finally collapsed into her bed of stuffed toys and pillows. She stayed with him for another hour, until he'd finally drifted off to sleep. She never dozed off for more than a few minutes before she was ready to get up again, brimming with energy. She watched him for a…-

Lane floated through the jungle, only bobbing slightly as she flew. So long as she didn't try to move too quickly, it was easy enough to keep herself above the ground while simultaneously moving forward. But try to move too fast along one axis, and she'd lag in the other. "Do I have to find more motivation for you, kitten? I will let you eat meat if you do this. I'm not just saying that. It’s so much tastier than seaweed." Korina bobbed along behind her through the early…

Quinn's plan took a lot of time, but what was time to a Celebi? It wasn't as though he had to worry about missing deadlines or failing to defend his thesis. His whole civilization didn't exist yet. None of them would be born for a very, very long time. The worst part wasn't finding food, or shelter from the near-constant rain. It wasn't even occasionally dealing with the territorial wild Pokémon. Lucky for him, most Pokémon had no interest in fighting. They seemed able to sense…

"Didn't get into any trouble while I was gone, I hope."Tracy could still sit down on the cushions of the Ponyville Express, though the harness hung awkwardly over his chest, with the wheel and metal leg poking out towards the seat across the aisle. That was no terrible difficulty, given Rose sat beside him instead.As eager as he might've otherwise been to spend more time in Canterlot, this was the last train of the night. If they didn't take it, they'd be stuck until the next morning—his own world's…
