Knock knock, get out of my head. Knock knock, starting to lose. Knock, my eyes go open at the sound. Signal to get moving, don't have much time before the patrol comes, they are strict when it comes to night. Bat ponies are part bat yes but we are part ponies and that pony part needs to sleep at night. Just have to get my saddle bags and... oh no. I need to hurry now, I hear the yelling.

I got up and got to my bags and quickly put them on. Next I creaked the window open and planned the flight path. Need to stick to the shadows, the night vision doesn't help so much when it's pure obsidian. Guards trotting below, need to wait till they pass. This isn't going as planned, I just want to see that land across the sea. My urge to go is going to make me sloppy, must control myself. Victory is near and I just need to be patient.

"Don't mess up now Star, not to hasty," I muttered to myself. Guards passed the window, jumping out and spreading my wings out. Tapped my window closed and sweet, outside now to get out of the... oh fuck. Towers? Since when did we add towers to our security, they don't seem to look upwards but that's still risky. The lights are off but the moonlight reflects perfectly off of it. Damn, this is going to be hard then I hoped for. Make a plan quick before more guards come passing by.

That's it! The docks, if I could just fly down there fast enough and get underwater. Perfect, just have to wait for the right... NOW! Flying fast enough to not get noticed, I just realized how bad of a plan this was. They would hear the impact with the water. I braced myself, widening myself to slow me down before I hit the water. Whew! Now to drop...

"Freeze where you are," An officer said. Without thinking, I dropped in and started swimming, using my wings to propel me forward. Soaking wet is not a good feeling with a skintight suit. Only way to stay concealed, but to late for that. I need to swim to shore outside the cave, hide and start flying. Our leathery wings are good for flying while wet, one good thing. Why my mother gene's give me no fangs or eyes, I would like to have some sight in darkness and also fangs to bite somepony in defense. Not now for DNA, now is for swimming.

I felt a grip of sand, pulling wait... more like scratching senselessly. I just swam up to see the shore, quite away from the cave. Now I need to set my destination, lets see... the star that is the brightest points to, wait that's north not Equestria. The moon sets to the east? Or was it west... damn I wish I could remember. Screw it, I'll just follow the tides, wait those go inwards to land. I'm a scientist that study's energy not astrology or navigation. Fly in that general direction, I'll reach it soon.

Sunrise already? I only been flying for a few minutes... or was it hours? Welp, going downwards now... crashing now I am crashing now!

"Pennilope, you alright?" A green stallion said.

"I think so? I don' know," The pink mare, who I assume is Pennilope said. Gee she has a fine flan... I mean what? Oh god, she caught my eye, this is why I shouldn't crash land into pretty mares.

"I think it's one of 'em bat ponies," The stallion said. Gee, I wonder how he figured it out. I need something else to say instead of gee.

"Any help?" I asked. They just looked at me weirdly, of course they would.

"Sorry friend, but we can't understand your squeaky squeaks" Pennilope said. What? Ace understood me fine and he's a unicorn, how come they can't ohhh, there was some kind of magic field in the cave wasn't there. Welcome to Equestria young mare, you can't speak to anypony here so what are your choices? I honestly don't want to choose, I have them decide what to do with me not able to speak to them. Gee what a dream can get you, a sexy mare in the fresh green plains... fuck I used that word again.
