“So how long do you think it will take for things to go back to normal?” Spike asked, as they stepped off the train into Ponyville proper. There was nopony in the station with them except for the janitor and some off-duty railway staff—everypony left on the morning train, they wouldn’t be back until evening. “Because it feels like you didn’t even tell me the craziest parts.”You’re not wrong. Spike had only a general idea about most things, and most of that he’d read indirectly from her.…-

An hour later, and their covert “meeting” was winding down. An uncomfortable amount of what they had decided seemed to weigh on her more than anypony else. Sky took another deep breath, looking closely at the screen and the markings Wanderlust had made. “You're sure... this is where they meet? That close?” She gestured to the satellite picture, centered as it was on the roof of a house on the end of the lane, not quite within sight of the makeshift pasture (but almost).“Positive.” Wanderlust…-

Dear Journal,Success! It’s good to be right every now and then. Okay, all the time. Because I was right. For once it wasn’t about something depressing, either. We’ll build this colony yet!I finished installing about 10 kilowatts worth of panels on the roof and the grounds all around the office, earlier than I ever could’ve thought possible. It’s kinda funny how hard work just sorta blurs together. Get started, and next thing I know I’m already finishing up. Take that, everybody. I might not…-

Retreat for now, come back with more help later (55%)Wayfinder wanted to go in after Sunburst. That “lunatic” was important in more ways than sharing a book. What more did he know that wasn’t in the pages of that basic volume?But charging into a place that this well-armed policeman said would be lethal to her, well—she didn’t have to be stupid about this. She’d made a connection here, one that might have other uses...She turned to scamper after Lance, waiting only long enough for Hazel to join…-

July 30, 2015Dear Journal,I’m sorry about being so emotional these last few days. I made an effort to compose myself before writing this. Hopefully I can be a little more… historical. Maybe being historical will make it easier.Today we drove most of the day, all the way into Phoenix. Not much to say about it. Nothing on the radio besides the number station. Joseph didn’t get around to breaking it, though he said he’d “work on it when he got the chance.” Must’ve heard that damn thing a…

Kyle didn’t actually know she’d be able to reverse her transformation—she didn’t know much of anything anymore. Even what she thought she’d known about the basic rules of the universe were clearly wrong, which left her with very little to go on. What did she have left? Kara was convinced, and her mom still loved her. The jury was still out on Dad.That wasn’t a lot to go on.She didn’t hear from them again that night, though at least Kara did bring her the remaining contents of the crisper…-

Twilight turned slowly, keeping her wings close to her sides. If somepony had really managed to sneak up on her without her noticing, they could probably kill her just as easily. Peace was the only option. A figure loomed in the shadows of the trees, remaining entirely still as Twilight spun. She caught a few wisps of dark fabric, and a shadowy outline around its face. Much more importantly, she felt the magic from it. It was a stealth spell of some kind, and her inability to see its face was no…

Kyle wasn’t sure what she would’ve expected from a grocery truck used to transport animals that shouldn’t exist. Maybe there would be a makeshift stable inside, with harnesses to contain them like dumb animals.It seemed the opposite was true, and barely anything had been done to accommodate them for the trip. There was shiny metal on the walls and floor where shelves running down either side of the truck looked freshly removed, but otherwise it hadn’t been altered at all. A large pile of moving…

Wayfinder's next week passed without anything remarkable happening. Every other day she had lessons to teach, with ponies practically lining up to fill the room. There were more than just police now: a large number of security personnel and even some locals attended, packing into every seat in the room and overflowing down the hall.Someone in command got rid of the non-unicorns, though those people were still free to listen over the loudspeakers. By the end of the week, the staff had expensive cameras at…

I froze in the doorway. I wanted to turn and run—though I knew better than to try. Princess Twilight moved the sun. She’d fought creatures with power that I could barely comprehend.Besides, I didn’t want to look like a coward in front of Dawn. If I could survive flying lessons, I could survive this. Maybe.“You’re, uh… Princess… something… Princess…”“Twilight Sparkle,” I finished for her, shutting the door behind us and making my way inside. Nothing left to do now but face the music.…-
