Bennie and Roderick arrived at the dock early that morning, in that silly pink minivan covered with rust-spots. Vera watched them from the dock, leaning against the railing to help support her weight.She could've sworn that every time she saw that old beater Bennie found some way to make it crazier. Were those seats zebra-striped?Bennie practically leapt from the passenger-seat, crossing straight to her. "Hey Vera. How're you feeling?"They exchanged cheerful hugs. Her eyes settled on the fish that circled…-

Phil perched precariously on the ledge of the castle tower, his heart hammering against his ribcage like a trapped bird. Rainbow Dash stood at his side, her wings flared out in a vivid array of blues and purples. He could smell the scent of the high altitude, the sweet smell of the Equestrian sky, a mix of fresh rain and the ozone of electricity from her mane."Alright, Phil, remember what I told ya," Rainbow Dash said, her tone as light and breezy as the wind. "Gliding first, then flying. You need to learn…-

Lane had probably spent more time imagining how mew lived than any human alive. Even before he’d got his hands on the Celadon University genetic report, he’d imagined a tropical habitat for the Pokémon. He pictured soft nests high in the trees, hunting using their powers and raising young under the moonlight. It was obvious they could fly, so maybe they spent most of their time up near the clouds, playing and watching the stars. The ruins of an ancient city seemed determined to prove him wrong.…-

All this talk of noble houses and city lords was hard for me to wrap my head around—but as we walked into her office, I found myself finally relaxing in the presence of something familiar. Even on the other end of the world, in a civilization of birds that had once kept slaves, some things never changed.Gina herself was an older bird, though like many of the griffons I’d met so far it was hard to tell her age with the signs that might work well for ponies. Most birds didn’t lose their feathers as…-

In a time so long ago it felt like someone else's life, a very young Ocellus had once wondered what it would be like if a race other than ponies had inherited the magic. While traveling through Canterlot as a young changeling, she was in awe of everything that ponies had built. What could her people have done with so much magic? Now on the homeworld of the Zecrin, Ocellus received an answer to that question. The sacred palace was unlike any structure she had ever seen. Even the orbital stations built high…-

Unwilling RecruitThe problem with being girlfriends with a field agent was that Harley was almost never around. What was worse, the changeling’s time while she was actually in Unity had to be divided between her boyfriend and girlfriend.Jackie hadn’t actually spoken to Apple Cinnamon, which was the way they both seemed to want to keep it. At least Harley helped teach some of the flight classes whenever she was around. Typically, with a pair of batlike wings, instead of the feathered ones or the…-

Marie stopped dead in the flooded cave, staring stupidly into the darkness. She no longer cared that water was pouring into her boots, or that she’d scraped one of her arms bloody on the cave walls. None of that mattered, because she could hear a voice in the darkness. An impossible, out-of-location voice.She had expected many possibilities down here in the dark. Most likely, some frightening reptile noises in the gloom. They would take a few snapshots, then run like hell. David was a fast runner, and…-

Evoli looked out at her army, swollen with the ranks of the mighty force sent to destroy her. Many of these drones still wore the body-paint or armor of her enemies, glittering in the dawn sunlight. But all that armor didn’t protect them. There was no chance that the great queens wouldn’t realize what she had done. The real question was—how much of their army was this? It would take them at least five years to grow replacements. That assuming they could find the glamour to do it. Without so many…-

At least the day was wearing on as they made their way to Sweet Apple Acres. As the sun got lower, Rainbow felt less like she was going to dry out. She had to be psyching herself out in any case—no way a creature could really be so connected to the water and survive.Besides, she’d had enough water in her to somehow cut through a wall. There were no other ponies on the road, so no worries about anything happening along the way. Maybe everypony is on their way to Canterlot by now, getting as far away…-

Eric looked up into the doorway, where Gus now stood. His roommate stumbled, then dropped two huge armfuls of groceries onto the ground. Produce went everywhere. But he didn't seem to care. After a few seconds he stopped screaming, raising both arms to protect himself. "What kind of wild animals are—""Gus," Eric said. He remained still, afraid that too much motion might startle his old friend into running away. If his roommate ran, the police or animal control would soon follow. He couldn't let that…-
