Hayden slept uneasily that night, despite the familiar conditions of home and Eleanor's company. Maybe that came from the extra space since last time—her parents had knocked down a wall, expanding the room to twice its previous, closet-like dimensions. That meant enough space for a bunk bed, a wardrobe, and an actual desk. All were secondhand of course, but covered in a fresh coat of pink and blue paint. She even recognized her sister's handiwork in the little cat designs. But for all that,…-

For the first few hours, none of them could do anything productive. It wasn’t just being in such an unfamiliar space, with gigantic furniture that might’ve been picked for size, but still was far too big to feel like they really belonged here. Aside from a few wonderful reminders of the delights of home, the food was strange to the ponies. Being so far north meant few of the fresh veggies and grains that were their staple diets.Instead, everything was processed, everything was canned—so more of the…-

Sunset Shimmer had known full well that there might be civilization on the other side of the portal. American fiat currency would be worth less than the paper it was printed on, but she might need money to get things done. There hadn’t been a transcendental instant waiting beyond the mirror, stripping away the illusion of substance from reality and giving her a single experience that would empower her with magic forever.She would have to work, have to read, and have to study. That’s fine. I knew it…-

Sunset stared down at her marshaled legions, grinning with pride. True, it was a waste of resources to give them bodies the way she had, a waste to detail them and give them realistic responses—but as it turned out, the school's ghosts worked better when they had bodies.No location in the school was large enough for the soldiers she had created, so Sunset had added back the wide expanse that had once held simulated houses and roads with empty cars from nowhere. She hadn't bothered with any of the…-

Sister Iris Vale, sworn witness of the Nightmare's divine curse, had never been more nervous for a ritual in her life. It was a good thing her hood and cloak were so dark, or the other members of the sisterhood might have noticed her furtive posture, her tucked tail and folded ears.But in the gloom of Cyan Mines, maybe they were really no braver than she was. She adjusted the dark robes, helping her horn find the opening meant for it in the hood. It would do no good to cover her entire reason for being…-

Magpie wasn’t exactly expecting anypony else to attend their little party, but she was proven mistaken as soon as she stepped inside. Silver hadn’t packed the apartment with ponies, that just wasn’t his personality. Instead there were only two others, though she wasn’t sure how they’d gotten there so quickly. “Princess,” Silver said, levitating the bottle towards her. “Would you like any before I start pouring this for the rest of us?”Nightmare Moon shook her head once, not even meeting…-

Twilight glided beside Fluttershy down to the level of the bog. Her companion didn’t touch the ground, so she didn’t either, spreading her wings wide and staying above the mud and skeletal trees. She could practically feel the branches reaching up to try and grab her, though so far they hadn’t moved. “Stay with me!” Fluttershy called from up ahead, speeding up a little. “We don’t have far to go!” Fluttershy tucked her wings and sped up, forcing Twilight to flap desperately to keep up.…-

Fluttershy looked up from her work, pausing long enough to toss the remainder of the prepared vegetables into the large basket before hurrying to the door. Who could possibly be visiting at such an early hour? Twilight or Rarity would've sent ahead to make sure she was expecting them. Applejack would be doing her chores, and Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash would probably be sleeping off whatever excitement they'd been up to the night before. Her steps grew more hesitant as she crossed her cabin, dodging deftly…-

Kaelynn watched from within her tank. It was all she could ever do. While her friends were out there putting themselves at risk to fight for her, protecting her from danger, she swam around in a tank, accomplishing nothing and putting everyone at greater risk.When they arrived at their first real alien city, she was stuck inside the tank, swirling around with only what she could see above them for a view. More than once she started assembling the rebreather, preparing to put it on. But the water had been…-

Faithful Gale flew home, dodging up the stairs of the Stalwart Shield Memorial Building and across the cavern towards Moonrise’s newest housing, the ‘Gate Complex.’ Even without her sense of hearing, she could’ve followed the magic to the place—so much teleportation in so small an area had created a constant thunderstorm over the building, which rumbled and shocked anything that got too close. She made sure to land well before she got in range, using her fur lifting as a guide. A metal tunnel…
