Amie stood from her makeshift ritual chamber, surrounded by watchful bugs. By then some had distracted themselves with other tasks or wandered off completely. But not all—the orange bugs remained, along with a handful of the smaller ones. Most of them had been given other assignments at one point or another—but Amie wasn’t going to get upset over it.These bugs were too young and small to contribute much to whatever tasks she’d given, those were always about making them feel useful. If they would…-

Invite her to the meeting 46% Twilight wasn’t the only one who would be attending the meeting with Apple Bloom in bed. She felt well enough to walk around after a good night’s sleep, but Fluttershy insisted she needed to wait at least one more day before she would be allowed to move again. For Applejack, the time would be far longer.At least her friend finally seemed relaxed. After all the struggling she’d done, Applejack rested back in the cot, wincing occasionally when Fluttershy arrived to change…-

Tracy could feel the effects of Celestia's tea wearing off already. She had given him a bit of grace—long enough to have that last conversation with her. He certainly couldn't be upset with her over that.All this time I thought Discord would trick me into breaking my contract. I watched that so carefully, I had no idea what he was really doing. But now it was done, and Tracy's fate was sealed. This is my home now.He nudged Rose in the side with one hoof, grinning awkwardly at her. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry…-

What could their little group do while they waited for information? Days passed, days spent in miserable friction.

Blake, meanwhile, had to threaten to lock him up more than once.Vesper tried to mitigate the conflict between them. She begged and pleaded for wiser voices to prevail, and it mostly worked.

Firefly led the way from the grove, flying down into the forest below. “I need to find Dusty,” she said. “We’ll catch up to you!” And she was off, leaving Lilac and Risk to make their much slower way back through the muddy trails.They picked a rough day to be leaving. It was still raining, with a constant downpour that soaked into much of the dirt and made the trail a nightmare. Lilac went from smelling like nectar and flowers to dirt and slime in less than a minute.It was always tricky to get…-

Silver Star crossed the boarding platform, one hoof extended to touch the railing. He’d never seen the moon from so high before, where even the newest domes looked like little mounds of gray dirt broken by the occasional skylight. Thousands of ponies were down there now, all watching this mission.Guess they got their invasion after all, he thought, stopping beside the waiting outer airlock door. We knew we would be returning for revenge on Equestria for hundreds of years. Hopefully our ancestors don’t…-

Warmth and light surrounded her, and suddenly Hayden was somewhere nice. Green grass rolled over gentle hills, with a river running smoothly into a clear blue lake. Warm air drifted through her fur, melting the snow still clinging to her pale dress. Even in the presence of this divine creature, Hayden couldn't help but relax, stretching her body into an arc and extending her tail all the way out. Her hair, unbound by many transformations, stretched out too, forming an unruly curtain behind her. Liz…-

Amie studied. Noise echoed through the old mine all around her—bugs shouting to each other, depositing heavy loads, and sometimes singing as they worked. When she had first returned to their cabin, Amie found creatures that were overwhelmed and desperate. Not anymore. She had given them purpose.While they worked, she poured over the book that had cost her a spy. It was written in the same language as the Equestrian writing, which meant Amie could read it. She still did not know why—nor had she even…

No. About 38% of her will was paralyzed with indecision.Just long enough for Applejack to embrace her sister on the cot, brushing away metal fibers as she went. “I’m so glad to…

Tracy stumbled through the inner door. Everwake shoved down his throat didn't have quite the same effect as carefully managed doses. The magic was still there, still enough to keep him awake. But now all those nights without sleep loomed behind him like a pallet of bricks. But he couldn't sleep now. Tracy would have to face the goodbye to his world with barely enough strength to walk. He managed that at least, making his slow way into the living room.For the second time in a year, he found a princess…
