My Little Mashup 18 - Patient Zero

Twilight Sparkle ripped her leg free from granny Smith's mouth as the others recoiled. After staring at the blood on her leg for a solid three seconds, ignoring the confusion and hubbub, she cut through it: "Quiet! Get me only if you need me. Mr....

My Little Mashup 4 - Jail

I caught up with Twilight Sparkle an hour later, her head down, her rant at Spike long over. I came alongside and slowed to match her pace. "Don't tell me I'm not going fast enough." She hadn't even looked at me. I regarded her. _The last thing we...

My Little Mashup 22 - Imp Imp Imp

The imperial soldiers led by general Chere herded us along the path. They were surprisingly accommodating to us, taking into consideration the limitations of our imp forms, and the bipedality this form had forced on the ponies with me. One seemed to be...

My Little Mashup 10 - Out of Time

I watched as Tycho crater formed before our eyes. When a cloud moved in, I was extremely disappointed to have missed the rest of this cosmic event. Still... "Oh, that is good. Very. Very. Very good." Nightmare Moon frowned at me. "Explain." "This is...

My Little Mashup 9 - Star Shooting

A tremendous force plucked Nightmare Moon and me from the ground, along with a mass of books, a table, a stool, a fountain pen that almost put out my eye, a magnifying glass, a stack of catalogue cards, and younger Macidexia's floppy hat. We were all...

My Little Mashup 20 - An Exchange of Thefts

"... and then I met Fluttershy, while she was using the cockatrice to petrify ponies. We were making good progress when we slipped up and let Discord realize he'd won. Speaking of which..." I looked to Fluttershy, noticing a lack of basket. Fluttershy...

Finding a New Self, Chapter 9 : Shortcut

"Sure, you can come. Just get ready quick." I was in a bit of a rush, having just come from work. "But..." Aresh was a bit flustered. "Don't you go see your family at new year?" "Well, the main thing is to be with people you know. Do you know...

Finding a New Self, chapter 21: Favor

Renna and I stepped out of the exchange into pouring rain, heedless of getting wet, and never minding that the rain striking the awnings made a drumbeat so loud we would have had to scream to be heard, and the rain striking us interfered with trying to...

Finding a New Self, chapter 20: A Series of Fortunate Events

Geeo didn't 'regain his senses' - I remained assigned to start a new office in Periten, with minimal support: only Aresh and whatever junk wasn't needed from the Getta or Tiko offices, and a loan offer of two hundred measures at eight percent per year....

Finding a New Self, chapter 19: Redeployment

I returned to the telegraphy office in the near-dark. It was locked, but I found Geeo in the back. He put his paws on his hips. "What is this mess? Your lines denatured!" "I wasn't strong enough to turn the press at the time, and Mezo was busy. Then...

Finding a New Self, chapter 18: Breakdowns

I woke to Aresh knocking at the bedroom door. The sun was well up. I asked for a moment, and took it to throw on a long simple dress, suitable for work. She asked, "Where were you last night? I thought I'd be out late, but you..." "Work happened. Big...

Finding a New Self, chapter 17: A Tough Night

Geeo was in when I got back. "Not open to the public at the moment, miss." I heard the clatter of another line opening and requesting someone to take a message. Mezo was out, probably delivering a message, leaving only Geeo and Renna in the office....
