After years of research at Calpain's expense, Sethisto has finally opened the portal of Equestria to snuggle his Trixie waifu. To the surprise of many, relations between humans and ponies are going smoothly. There's no conflict, no threat of war, just peace and quiet.

However, not everybody on Earth is happy about this. No, one preteen will not accept this so easily. He will stand for us all, showcasing our superiority over pastel colored horses with butt tattoos. How will he do it? With the power of the boop.

This is his story.

In order to improve their skills at detecting changeling infiltrators, Twilight Sparkle and the Council of Friendship ask their new friend Thorax to help them with a little training exercise. Their goal? Figure out which of their six friends is actually Thorax in disguise.

Dialogue heavy, as this story focuses on the cross-interrogation of the game itself.

Note: This story takes place before "To Where and Back Again."

Lost, starving, and hunted by the law, a lonely changeling finds a traveling entertainer who he plans on using to restore his energy by extracting as much love out of her as possible.

Too bad his target turns out to be Trixie.

After a brief violent encounter and some mutual blackmail, the two of them decide to perform together in front of the town to raise enough bits and love for them each to go their separate ways.

It works out better than they expected.
