Counsel waited for Olive’s arrival with undirected nervous energy burning at his chest. It had been a long time since he’d seen Earth in that much fidelity, and even what he’d seen wasn’t pleasant. He couldn’t help but feel sympathy for poor Olive, who had poured her whole heart and soul into that truck, only to watch it get destroyed around her.But in the grand scheme, it wouldn’t matter for much longer. She had made the right choice. She was coming to Equestria.“Why are you so worried?”…-

Weeks passed. Eleanor didn't go back to coming to morning lessons every day. But sometimes she came, and other times she was there in the early afternoon when they were done, and Hayden was released. Their relationship remained tense—at one moment, Hayden's ignorance about her own body might provoke Eleanor's compassion and sympathy. But then Hayden would do something else, turning her cold with anger or envy. It was still better to have a sister sometimes than not at all. With her around,…-

Take a Chance to Keep the Car (59%)We'll look for a rural gas station. There are lots of little pull-offs, right off the highway. We find one that isn't too busy, pull up and buy some gas, and we're out again before anyone gets involved. Preferably at night, when they wouldn't even be looking our way. It's worth the risk.She floated the map lower in her magic, examining the route she had already selected for that purpose. "Take a left at the end of the driveway; we'll leave town from the south. But stay in…-

Amie woke to uncomfortable pressure against her real body, jostling her back to reality. She blinked, then opened one eye. A bug stood nearby, bouncing with nervous energy. It took her a moment more to recover—back to her bloated body, and the cramps that came from a long time holding still."What is it?""Food's here!" he said. "I mean... the hunters' food got here. And there's a horse with them. Wants to see you.""Pegasus?" she suggested. "Stallion? Big wings? Tailslide."The bug nodded. "Said you would…-

Vesper sailed through strange skies. This time it wasn't just her mind that flew, released from physical bonds into the dreaming, but her body too, tucked away in one of the private quarters of the Bright Hawk. Shame the others overruled her suggestion to give it a different name. But while the others wiled away their nights confined to their own dreams; Vesper was learning. She'd learned a great deal during the last few weeks, while her friends with more useful skills spent their time rebuilding the…-

Shiloh landed on Lane's shoulder. The cold wind shook her in the air, threatening to lift her up and throw her into the melee. Somehow, the mew kept the wind from getting close to her, its little flakes of snow curving around to either side, and leaving her dry. Not so their human opponent. He waited on the clearing, facing into the storm without protection. Other than the dragon behind him, of course. Reshiram's tail burned brilliant orange, melting any of the moisture that got too close. Its…-

“Wesley?” Amie asked, confused. They were alone in his office. Mr. Albrecht still dressed, though he was one of the few staff members to bother wearing so much. Amie herself had modified a rain-coat for the wettest days, but that was all. Within the first few days, “wearing clothes” had solidified as something the “camp” people did. Those who went out into the wild—hiking through mud and dirt and sometimes camping for a few days—wore only practical things. “I know Wes, he wouldn’t cause…

Hayden couldn't hold still so easily in the air, not with the wind buffeting her to either side. Even on a relatively calm day, the clouds beneath her began to drift, taking her with them. She'd be riding them wherever they went, with very little ability to resist. Liz tucked up against her dress again, though this time it was more than just being shy. What would happen if the little mew got caught up in a gust of wind and blown away? They could think of few more painful ways to die. Her dress…

Hayden had been small before. Her new skill with transformation let her change into people who were several years younger, if she wanted to. She could be big muscular pokémon, or small ones. But whatever Lord Moonstone had done to her was on another level entirely. She was small enough to hold in someone's hand. But—would anyone be allowed to touch her? Was she a daemon now? She still had one. Liz circled around her, inspecting her in the dim light emanating from the cloth entrance. Her daemon…

By the time Hayden returned to her room, she found a pair of Lunar Guard soldiers standing in the hallway on either side. Even the guards seemed a little intimidated by her strange appearance, though. They got out of the way as she approached, bowing, and scraping and moving so quickly it looked like they were afraid she might attack them.She was too upset with herself to let that feeling spread to anyone else. I ruined it. I can’t believe I was so stupid! She was an animal! I’m an animal! None of this…-
