"Computer... simulation..." Sunset Shimmer repeated, her mouth working but no more words coming out. Thanks to her English class, she now knew each of those words. But to hear them put together, to combine them with everything she had just seen... "Then we need to end it," she said. "I want to be out in the real world. How can I leave?"Jackie laughed, but there was no amusement in her voice. Nothing but bitterness and an old anger gone cold. "Leave? How would we do that? Someone turns off the Infinite…-

Alex had never felt happier than the day she opened the Museum of Human Achievements. It was by no means an accomplishment that was purely her own. She had elicited donations from hundreds of Alexandria's most prominent citizens. Granted, many of those had thought she was a filly-scout doing a charity project...She couldn't describe her satisfaction on the day of the grand opening, when she stepped out onto the stage and saw their shocked faces. No, she wasn't representing Lonely Day. She was Lonely Day,…-

“Don’t you think this is a bad idea?” Hayden asked, shifting uncomfortably on her hooves. After spending well over a month naked most of the time, putting on so much clothing felt strange. The fact that it was an overblown, elaborate dress certainly didn’t help matters.Hayden had finished construction in her room, or at least most of it. Even so, Luna had insisted they would see her clothier on the other side of the castle. A crowd of gawking ponies lingered just outside, passing by the shut door…-

Mourning was not a rapid process, particularly given the size of the missing piece. It wasn’t as though Nathan had a huge support-structure of society to fall back on—he doubted his parents were still alive, and they had not attempted to contact him through Equestria even if they were. North Star’s absence was felt as well, though perhaps not as pronounced. Celestia offered to bring him back—on the condition that he invite Brooke’s copy back into his life as well. That was a bridge too far.At…-

For a few seconds, Theo stared up into the sky with abject horror on her face. She had been so close! Corey had even talked to her on the radio! It was all the proof she’d wanted to overcome her growing fears that everything she knew was a lie—that maybe she’d always been a hippogriff and every human memory was some kind of illusion.Corey was the proof that her world was real, that the objects she carried were from a real place. That she was really Theo, and that the path back to her true body and…-

For the second time that day, Jacob followed his instincts instead of his senses and buckled himself into the copilot’s seat. Harley cast him one frustrated look before she vanished out the door and snapped it closed. Jacob unclipped the helmet from the back of the chair even as a dull roar rose from above them, the unmistakeable sound of rotors as they started to spin.“What the buck are you still doing here?” Rainbow asked, flipping down the polarized visor. She went to work on the controls like a…-

All this talk of noble houses and city lords was hard for me to wrap my head around—but as we walked into her office, I found myself finally relaxing in the presence of something familiar. Even on the other end of the world, in a civilization of birds that had once kept slaves, some things never changed.Gina herself was an older bird, though like many of the griffons I’d met so far it was hard to tell her age with the signs that might work well for ponies. Most birds didn’t lose their feathers as…-

Unwilling RecruitThe problem with being girlfriends with a field agent was that Harley was almost never around. What was worse, the changeling’s time while she was actually in Unity had to be divided between her boyfriend and girlfriend.Jackie hadn’t actually spoken to Apple Cinnamon, which was the way they both seemed to want to keep it. At least Harley helped teach some of the flight classes whenever she was around. Typically, with a pair of batlike wings, instead of the feathered ones or the…-

Marie stopped dead in the flooded cave, staring stupidly into the darkness. She no longer cared that water was pouring into her boots, or that she’d scraped one of her arms bloody on the cave walls. None of that mattered, because she could hear a voice in the darkness. An impossible, out-of-location voice.She had expected many possibilities down here in the dark. Most likely, some frightening reptile noises in the gloom. They would take a few snapshots, then run like hell. David was a fast runner, and…-
