Luna seems to sense your feelings, because again she avoids looking at you. Can she read your thoughts? You choose to proceed on the assumption that she can’t, lest you be paralyzed and unable to act. Only a flame of white-hot anger for your vanished brothers and sisters enables you the courage to speak with such confidence to a being obviously vastly beyond your power and intelligence. If Luna wanted, you know the magic she wields could sweep you away like dew before the sun. You don’t care. If you…-

Their parents did call a little later, though the conversation was brief and not particularly reassuring. Mom and Dad expressed sympathy over what had happened, but gone were the promises that they would arrive soon."Edgar says it may not be safe for a while," Dad said. "You know him well enough to know that he'll get his way. There was an explosion, wasn't there?""Sorta," Kara answered. "It wouldn't have happened if he didn't send someone to mess with the baby. It was just like with me all over again.…-

Set up a shelter in the cargo bay and deal with the problem later 81% “That’s exactly right,” Twilight agreed. “I know what to do. Order you to keep running. Fluttershy, get that shelter ready! We’re all going!”“Ain’t a good idea,” Applejack argued, though not in the tone she might use if she were intending to disobey. “You need every second. We’re bein’ followed, don’t forget it.”They arrived after a few minutes later. The ground hadn’t stopped shaking, and in fact Twilight…-

“This can’t exist.” Eric slung his satchel in front of him, flipping it open. He lifted out a tablet and started scrolling through its contents with one hand. “It defies everything we understand about archeology. This is late Roman construction, on an island they never knew existed. If there were colonies in Greenland, we would’ve known. Their ships never could have crossed the ocean.”Jacob made his way over to one of the pillars, inspecting the writing. They were unfamiliar shapes, like sticks…-

"Didn't get into any trouble while I was gone, I hope."Tracy could still sit down on the cushions of the Ponyville Express, though the harness hung awkwardly over his chest, with the wheel and metal leg poking out towards the seat across the aisle. That was no terrible difficulty, given Rose sat beside him instead.As eager as he might've otherwise been to spend more time in Canterlot, this was the last train of the night. If they didn't take it, they'd be stuck until the next morning—his own world's…-

Even if she couldn't hear what they were saying from across the room, part of her suspected.The princess appeared in the doorway a few minutes later and vanished into a conference room with the…-

"Anytime. I can tell you all about what it's like to be a mew, that's what helps me change." Eleanor sighed. "Hayden, I think we've had this conversation before. Loch and I don't use personality. It’s about appearance—inside and outside. All this time being your handmaid, I could probably change into your twin if I wanted." She sighed, running her hands absently through Hayden’s hair. "Did I catch that right? The jirachi had to pull Julian off you on your…-

The trip to Sonoma took days. They encountered very little civilization during the trip—a handful of hikers and adventuring ponies, or miners scouting out their own claims for future excavation. Any of those meetings might've turned tense, with Pachu'a's group content to intimidate them out of interaction.But Amie knew ponies better than that. They just wanted a little friendly small-talk, maybe to stop and share lunch and gossip for a while. While the hunters might've raised suspicion, at least as a…-

Summer probably should’ve been excited about this. In some ways, this meeting was everything she’d been waiting for, months of effort all focused on this single moment. She’d fought her way across Equestria, swam as a fish, and now she was back home.Except… she wasn’t home. I need time to think. I need to figure out what went wrong. But it didn’t seem the US military authority now running the base was very interested in giving them time to figure things out. Maybe if I ask nicely they can put…-

Ryan watched the sunrise on an alien world.It wasn't like this was the first time he'd ever seen it, or even the first time he'd been watching to see an enemy vessel appear to darken the sky behind him. Yet as the sky split with orange and yellow light, he saw no dark outlines emerge from the clouds.He leaned off the back railing, watching the sky behind them just to be sure. Could the pirates have some other way of hiding from view, and appear now to wreak terrifying revenge?Not that he saw. "Nothing…-
