Everyone was playing Equestria Online these days.Nick still remembered when he felt slightly self-conscious picking up his own Ponypad for the first time, and found only the Pinkie Pie model in stock. His group of “brony” friends consisted of a dozen or so people who had met at the local community college during the height of the show. They had already been gaming together, so moving over to a new game was only natural. But just because the rest of the world had finally discovered how amazing the game…-

Sunset Shimmer took the polished metal knob in one of her paws, half expecting the door to be as locked as any of the others she had tried. It twisted easily and she strode into the empty classroom.Well, almost empty. There was a single row of desks inside, and an instructor standing by a chalkboard. The woman seemed to come to life as Sunset entered, her head twisting around and a practiced smile on her face.She looked a little different than the other builders Sunset had seen so far, at least by physical…-

Time blurred past Hayden in the Summer Palace. She had never been with another mew anywhere close to her own age before. Julian couldn't teach her new powers, he couldn't train her in further Unity. But he didn't really need to. It was enough to be with someone who shared her perspective—someone who wanted to fly, and felt trapped when they didn't change something for too long. It just happened that he was also the most important kid in the world, with a responsibility that bordered…-

Unwilling RecruitKatie caught her on her way back to the room. Jackie had come back in through the laundry, so she hadn’t been completely naked—though the robe she’d stolen didn’t fit, and smelled like it hadn’t yet been washed.Katie was already awake when she came into their shared dorm, half dressed with the straightener warming in front of the mirror before her. Couldn’t you sleep in like a normal teenager?Still, it could’ve been worse. Nobody else in the girls’ dorm had noticed…-

“I don’t like it,” Gina said, for the tenth time now. She whispered quietly enough that she would not be easily overheard, yet still it seemed like dozens of eyes looked their way whenever she spoke. Either that, or it was the sight of something so strange as a griffon with such a troubled past in a part of the world where there was only sunshine and rainbows.“I don’t either,” Flynn said, and found he barely had to mouth the words for his character to speak them, just as quietly. The Ponypad…-

It was not a difficult process to retrieve the campers who had wandered.Amie knew the trails around Stella Lacus Adventure Camp of course, better than almost all the older counselors. She knew where frightened people wandering alone would likely flee, without needing to search for hoofprints in the mud. But without all this, she still could have completed her task.The fleeing campers hadn’t just left footprints, but also a different kind of trail, subtler and unseen. It was the same kind she had followed…-

It wasn’t just the Elements of Harmony who prepared for the worst that morning. In a country as peaceful as Equestria, the looming death of so many was news that spread. The morning came exactly on schedule, along with scheduled rain in most large cities to commemorate those who died. There was just one problem.Pinkie Pie didn’t expect anything to happen. She watched from the other side of the screen as Fluttershy extracted her cockatrice from its cage—the monster itself just an outline. Her whole…-

There were many trains leaving Unova in the days after the great Equinox Ball. Those of the most important houses left first, often whole engines with only a handful of armored cars and many soldiers following close behind. But for each such train there were a dozen others for common servants and staff—laborers who arrived before a single member of the Great Families ever set foot in the gathering place, and who did not return to dismantle it until they were gone again. These rode the same trains as…

Hayden stumbled forward off the train, and into the brilliant sunlight. The cold cut straight through his thin clothing, making him shiver—but he endured it. A servant he barely saw extended one hand towards him, taking the bag off his shoulder. He wasn't sure how close to get to the powerful woman—the one he'd seen depicted in fine portraits and posters all over Sunyshore since he was born. Strange that she looked exactly the way the portraits showed. There were no lines on her face, or…

The next thing Flynn knew, it was dark outside, and they were alone. The nurses hadn’t come for them—though they would if they waited much longer. His limbs were already going stiff from the chill. He looked up, clearing his throat loudly. “I, uh… think we should get inside,” he said, not into the Ponypad.For once, even Caroline didn’t look annoyed with him. She nodded, glancing down at the screen. “We should get going,” her pony said. “Thanks for taking the time to talk to us.”It…
