It took Eric just over an hour to take care of everything. He brought the small horse around to the back, then onto the kitchen table, where he could work in the brightest light. Only there could he easily strip away the creature's unusual clothing, and tend to his wounds. They weren't just “clothes,” though. The horse was armored, he had no doubt in his mind. Judging by his injuries, that armor might have saved the horse's life.Once it was off, and the animal underneath exposed in the bright light of…-

“Come on girls!” Twilight’s voice called from up ahead, insistent. “The train leaves in a few minutes! There won’t be another one until tomorrow!”Scootaloo slowed a little more, dragging her hooves through the sand. Her wings buzzed against her back, but as usual she remained firmly on the ground.“We’ll come and visit,” Sweetie Belle said, pausing long enough to give Terramar a goodbye hug. “I’d like to hear your mountains again. Maybe bring my sister along… it’d be…-

Quinn floated to the tree where Avery rested near death. He no longer struggled to keep himself airborne or regulate his flight. After crossing what felt like half a continent, he would not lose his belief in his ability and drop out of the air. All doubt could wait for when this treatment was done. "Master is back!" Sirius bounded over, holding embers carefully in one hand. He had built a small fire with them for Avery, surrounded by river rocks. The fire type had done a better job making camp…-

It was easily the worst hike of Jordan's life. Wearing "shoes" that were really just a few pieces of wood wrapped around his feet with strips of ripped shirt certainly didn't help. There was no trail either, just mud and hillside with briars and thorns. Before they even started he was already shivering with cold, thanks to the water in the Worldgate. By the time they got anywhere near the bottom, he'd acquired a handful of brand-new blisters.He moved roughly beside Galena the whole way down, traveling…-

"Sorry about your scooter," Cerulean said, apparently from just beside her. Vera turned, and the seapony was there on the deck, sprawled out in the sun like she was. She looked a little like a seal when she did it, the lively muscle of her body flattening out under the unexpected load of gravity. She could still see through the fish to her boat on the other side. It was easier to see through the illusion. "If it was connected, I could've warned you not to use it. But it was way too old to be integrated. I…-

The Equinox Ball was never in the same place twice. Hayden didn't know exactly how that was possible—for creatures who lived so long, surely they must've brought it to just about every corner of the world by then. Every interesting natural formation, every large cave, and floating over every region and landmass. But of course she couldn't possibly know if the location they'd picked was unique, without ever attending one before. This particular ball was out in the middle of... well,…-

Amie gestured urgently for her brother to keep his head down, watching as the mysterious figures vanished down the road. She kept them hidden in the building until they were far enough away that she couldn’t hear them anymore. Only then did she take her backpack from her shoulders, dumping its snacks onto the floor at their feet. “They looked so strange,” Wes muttered. “Not like you, or like me. You think they were from another camp? Or maybe down the hill?”She ignored the question, selecting the…-

Magpie was the last through the Tower airlock, slamming it shut behind her. If she’d had more magical talent, she probably would’ve put some kind of protection spell on it—for all the good it would do. Goldleaf was already way ahead of her, manipulating a set of crystal controls near the wall. A thrumming reverberated through her hooves, bringing with it the acidic tang of acetone on the air. “That should keep anything from shadow-stepping through our walls,” he muttered, only the first echoes of…-

What followed were the strangest few hours of Hayden's life. Suddenly he was surrounded by creatures that he would've considered incredibly dangerous—creatures without humans of their own. Maybe it was for the best that his family wouldn't know what was happening in Shaymin House. If he survived the trip back, he wouldn't include this particular adventure in any of his letters. Some things they were probably better off not knowing. But no matter his fear, no matter the simple truths…

Jackie had been waiting for Portland Fancon for over six months now. On an emotional level, she understood that the rest of the world didn’t care about her efforts at best and would’ve mocked them at worst. Even so, Jackie Kessler had been waiting forever for a chance to show up.The con was packed with visitors in scores of different costumes. The pop-culture touchstones were there—Jedi, and Starfleet crew, and the latest popular videogame character. Jackie made her way through the dealer booths,…-
