Vale manor was the kind of place that Derek should feel lucky to visit. As she passed between the sculpted lawn, her eyes lingered on the old stone of a fountain, the furtive forms of other creatures darting away whenever they thought she was watching them. The fence didn't just include the little house, it stretched far away from the building. After just a short distance, rows and rows of trees began. Further away, there were fields of gently waving grain, not quite ready to harvest. Where some of the…-

Twilight hated to admit when Trixie was right, but there was no getting around the good sense of having a base of operations. By letting Twilight and her friends stay close, Trixie was taking on much of the risk herself, since she was likely to be implicated if any of them were seen breaking the rules. It’s okay, we won’t be. And even if we are, we’ll reverse all of this. It won’t matter.She still felt guilty taking advantage of Trixie’s kindness, as well as feeling a little skepticism bubbling…-

Twilight knew Applejack wouldn’t be happy even before they reached the docking platform. But whatever else might be said for the former prospector, she had good common sense. Whatever distrust she might still be feeling towards Spike, she didn’t show it.“Here to join our little investigation, eh’? Guess you didn’t quite get to finish yer beauty rest.”Spike chuckled weakly, showing no sign of his emotional weakness earlier. I’m glad I didn’t tell him that Applejack was the one who discovered…-

“So if everyone here is really a pony, you must be a Unicorn.” Danielle seemed the least surprised that they weren’t alone, or at least the best at hiding her surprise. “Right?”“Nope.” Harley leaned back in her chair. “Just because most of them are ponies doesn’t mean we all are. Not many of the other races came to Earth… and believe me, I’d kill for someone with some actual backbone for a partner on rescue missions… there are a few.”“I’m surprised you aren’t back out…-

From the very first day Mira had heard Kallisto's stories of the strange otherworld of the Dreamlands, she had imagined what her own visits might be like. Maybe she would be a brave and noble champion of realms unimagined, saving them from oppressive conquerors. Maybe she would discover ancient mysteries, and return to Equestria with the secret her tribe needed. Maybe she would find one of her own ancestors in the ancient place, living on in dedication to the lunar rebellion, who would offer her a boon in…-

Roseluck had plenty of experience with terror. Ponyville didn’t really give her a choice about it—to stay was to see dangers that most ponies would only hear about in stories and see reenacted in plays. Compared to some of what she’d experienced, seeing through to the other side of Tracing’s portal wasn’t that weird. An alien creature, lengthy and strange from her distant view, with almost no fur and lots of extra clothing. In a way it made her feel pity for creatures that looked so unusual.But…-

“Slowly, Lyra. The last place you want to invite paradox is with your own pattern. Take as much time as you need.”Her familiar spoke so gently now that his words were not even vocalized. She heard them just the same, through the gradually-strengthening mental link the two of them had built over the last few weeks. Strong enough to hear everything he wanted to say, but also weak enough to dislodge him when he got too nosy or annoying.Lyra rested in meditative repose in the center of the Free Council's…-

The anti-acceleration chamber wasn’t exactly a comfortable place to spend the afternoon. As soon as Felicity crossed the doorway she began to float—or rather, to drift in a straight line given her initial entry vector.She struck the far wall a second later, colliding with something soft and padded before drifting off again at another angle. She spread her wings, and there was barely enough time to use them to catch herself without smacking into the walls.Light glowed from strips running out from the…-

Phil crept through the shadows, his heart pounding. One wrong move and the guards would spot him. He couldn't fail—too many lives depended on him.He peered around the corner and spotted two troll guards lounging against the wall, their faces obscured by their helmets. Both carried spears, though they were the only signs of any obstruction to pony passage. "I think this is it," he whispered, backing slowly around the corner. His wings flared involuntarily. At least they weren’t trying to restrain him…-

Bed was a strange thing for a Pokémon. Lane hadn’t been aware enough to notice on her first night, when her mind was still utterly unable to process what had happened to her body. There was no such mercy on her second night. “This way, kitten,” Korina prompted, forcing her to fly the whole way. If Lane’s tail even dragged beneath her, the big mew shoved her up against the ceiling, so fast she was dazed momentarily by the impact. “Our nest is here, in case you forgot.” “I didn’t,” she…-
