Author's Note: Apology

Okay guys, I know I said I would deliver on the 11th, but it looks like I'm going to have to delay it a bit.

School's been kicking the crap out of me lately, so I have limited time to write and I am still not finished with the latest chapter.

However I have been working on it on and off, so don't think this story is dead. Just know that when it comes to deadlines I am terrible.

While I am here I would like to put out some thanks.

First off, thank you theBSDude, for agreeing to be my editor and editing the already submitted chapters. You've been awesome.

(theBSDude is also the editor for Fallout Equestria: Heroes, by No One, and the proofreader for Elements of Eternity, by Aura Burst.)

Second off, thank you Shalrath, for the long and amazing discussions on sci-fi horses within the chat, free in-blog advertisement, and being an all round awesome dude and writer.

(Shalrath is the author behind "The End". It is an amazing story, that based on what little he has told me, is going to be even more amazing as time goes on. Seriously, if you like my shit, check out his. It's infinitely better and actually has science to explain stuff instead of lolmagic.)


And as a last parting thing, just to prove to you I have been working, have the very beginning of the coming chapter early.

~~~~~

"I try to make myself look like one of them, most of the time. I like to keep my eyes, though. I think they're beautiful."

I am within a moderately sized home, within the suburbs of Manehattan. It was constructed post-contact, and because of this, there are no obvious marks where the installation of modern amenities occurred. While not being too terribly large, it is of perfect size for the couple who live within it. The home is owned by a Mr. and Mrs. Daze, who have been happily married for 26 years.

At the present I am speaking with Mrs. Vivamus Daze, wife of Shady Daze. At first glance, she resembles a pegasus, with an ashen black coat and a greenish blue mane. However, upon further examination, you would notice a very distinct feature. Her eyes. Instead of the mammalian eyes possessed by most ponies, Viv's eyes are multifaceted and iridescent. The reason for this is that Viv is not actually a pony.

In a flash of green, the faux-pony transitions into her true form.

"Its much less stressful on the neighbors this way."

Anyway, sorry for the delay, will try to release actual chapter before the next week is over, hopefully.

I take it you liked the spoiler, despite the lateness of the actual chapter?

Awwww...butts.

Noticed that this had gotten an update then PSYCHE! No update for me :fluttercry:.
I find that this is a genuinely interesting story, a neat take on the whole ponies meet humans thing. Far too ofter I see it go something like this:

"Holy crap! Something new! I do not recognize it! FIRE ZE MISSILES! WHY you ask? BECAUSE MAAAAAAAN!"

At least your update schedule is less erratic than mine. :ajsmug:

Heh. Integration of Changelings? It's bound to happen sooner or later, especially if you choose to view Chrysalis's attack on the Royal Wedding to be a last-gasp attempt by the Changelings to maintain 'the old ways'.
