She lives a secret life among ponykind, finding friends and making precious memories. For a time, Hazel cannot help but love it; but soon, she finds the choices, consequences, and profound joys and sorrows of life are far too intense for a changeling to endure.

Inspired by the short story "Why Don't You Dance?" by Raymond Carver.

Everybody in T.A.C.T.I.C.A.L. has heard about agent Doodle's exploits. He's managed to befriend a sea monster, taken on a Tarripus, and even earned a knighthood rescuing Celestia from... something highly classified. There's not a pony, donkey, cow, or [redacted] in the administration that doesn't respect the donkey and his contributions to Equestria.

So when Agent Sweetie Drops is paired up with him on her first assignment, she is understandably very excited. And a little bit nervous. But she'll try her hardest to help the legendary agent out!

Even if the target has... other plans.
