Richard was moving out. He already hadn’t been living at home for some time, not for the weeks he had been living with Amy. But now, now that he was welcome to return if he wanted to, Richard intended to never see the house again.Moriah probably wanted to stop him. She’d been fuming up and down the mansion for the better part of a day, as soon as she realized what he was doing. But he was an adult now, a citizen of Alexandria as much as anyone else. Her power might be tremendous but trying to force him…-

Jacob hurried into the open door just behind Harley, carrying the still-unconscious pony in his arms. Despite being much closer to her size than he had been before, he had little enough trouble lifting her weight. How crazy will it be to actually be that small? The drive hadn’t changed him that he knew, though sometimes he woke up in the morning with a horrible impression that the world had grown even bigger during his sleep. At least compared to his friends, that change seemed to be in his…-

The pony who had called herself Carol cut through the chilly air above the human planet like a nightmare. She had no source of illumination, but did not need it. Her sharp eyes pierced the night, and what they could not see she could pinpoint with the sensitive ears constantly swiveling about atop her head. She wore nothing but a light satchel, and in the startling chill of an Earth night there was nothing in any world that could take away her joy. Odium permitted her this, as it permitted all joys that…-

Hayden watched the sunrise in the green grass of another time. She wasn't exactly sure how long they sat there—long enough that soft orange light stained yellow, and the many leaves and flowers all turned to face it. Somewhere under it all she knew her body was cold. But that knowledge was a distant truth now, abstract and unfocused. Being forced to such profound Unity had the added benefit of making her resilient to such physical discomfort. Her companion had no such endurance. After a few minutes…-

They didn't ride the same train all the way to their destination. The “Crystal Empire” was apparently half a continent away, and to take too direct a route would make them too easy to follow. They hadn't exited at the end of the route Dust negotiated, but instead slipped off the train while they waited in other cities.James couldn't help but feel paranoid and a little shy as they walked through a few other small towns, even though each one was as different from Dodge Junction as Dodge Junction had been…-

In the absence of the mare Cloudy Skies, Oliver was always the first to rise. He took great pride in this, though not so much pride as the fact he could get up before sunrise without a cup of coffee to keep him going. Most mornings were an absolute joy; after his hot shower Oliver would take a walk before the sun came up, singing to himself and imagining all the wonderful things that would happen that day. It was hard to say what he would sing; whatever struck his fancy, really. It wasn’t as though there…

SMILE agent Sweetie Drops looked over the mission file resting in front of her, next to the pastry and coffee delivered a few minutes ago by the Canterlot Express brunch service. She held it slightly behind the newspaper, so her girlfriend wouldn't see what she was reading.It sometimes worked. Now that the truth of her identity was revealed, Lyra sometimes realized when their vacation trips served some greater purpose. Blessedly, she still played along with Bon Bon's role, never asking questions unless…-

Hayden kept her eyes defiantly on the ground—there would be no concealing their strange pattern from this ruler once she saw. No concealing her wings, if she asked her to remove the robe. I hope Luna was wrong about you, she thought. Otherwise, I’m dead. Her colleagues at work had always joked she would be killed by a wild animal on one of her hikes. This probably hadn’t been what they had in mind.“Rise, Lady Evening Star,” Celestia commanded. “That… is your name, is it not? My sister just…-

Wayfinder emerged into the blinding light of full day, her body crushed briefly by the Colorado heat. She lingered in the doorway a second while she adjusted. My fur is getting a little long, maybe I should get a trimmer.Getting shoved in a basement might not be the most dignified place to be, but it did have its advantages: the underground stayed much cooler than the surface. Something touched lightly to her rear as she emerged from the doorway. Way didn't look back to see if she'd decided to wear the…-

It wasn't the light that woke Quinn, but something sharp and painful, digging into one of his hands. He stirred, then opened one eye to stare at whatever had caused so much pain. A tiny pink creature had latched onto his fingers, digging teeth into his skin. "W-what?" She released him, leaving a pair of dots where her canines had sunk into his skin, leaking amber-colored sap. "Sleeping too long!" Avery called. Her telepathy was somehow smaller than before, though simultaneously…-
