Mating (separation)
It is rare, but there are times in which the mate will separate itself from their partner. This is done for several reasons. Including but not limited to childbirth, trial of the heart, spreading the news and hunting. This separation can be directed to either or both partners. And the outcome can sometimes be the opposite of what one expects.

As Blitz was about to leave the museum, Hitch arrived. "Blitz!" Hitch called. "Sunny casted one of the spells from your book." He explained before pulling out the book and opening it to the spell. "This one."

Blitz blinked and looked it over. "Oh… that's just a hormone enhancement spell." He laughed off. "You have nothing to worry about."

"I don't?" Hitch asked nervously.

"Nothing at all." Blitz reassured. "Just as long as you're not hiding secret feelings towards anyone. But you're an honest and tough gut right?"

Hitch gulped and nodded. "Right… but let's just say for laughs that I am hiding feelings. What would happen?"

Blitz thought for a moment before looking over the spell. "From the looks of this…"

As they talked Misty snuck closer and listened to the conversation the best she could. However, due to the noise and workers nearby, she only was able to get parts of their conversation.

"If you're interested in…. Then your… will… and you'll… but that can be avoided if you… and if they're…. Then you'll… and your… will… but you can… before you… just remember to… and never… under any circumstances… because if you… then… will… understand?"

Misty blinked in confusion as Hitch gulped and nodded. "What was that about?" She muttered. Rubbing a hoof to her chin, Misty tried to think of a way to get closer to him without the others getting suspicious of her. "Come to think of it… I wonder how good his sense of smell is?"

She looked out from the bush she was hiding in as Izzy bounced by. "Hi Misty. Want to meet our new friend?" The unicorn asked.

"Why am I not surprised?" Misty thought as she smiled nervously and nodded.

"Great." Izzy cheered. "Oh. I should warn you. He's part dragon. But he's super sweet."

"Part… dragon?" Misty gasped as possible futures rushed through her head. Most of which involved handing him over to Opaline. Biting her lip, Misty thought for a moment "I… I don't know if now's the right time. I mean… I… it…"

Izzy gasped. "Did you get… jinxed by the twin horned rabbit?"

"... yes?" Misty replied nervously. "I should be fine after a few hours. Maybe I can come back and meet him tomorrow?"

"No time." Izzy countered before pushing her into the museum. "There's only one cure and Blitz has it."

The two guys looked over as Izzy plowed through pushing the new mare into Blitz and continuing down the hallway as Hitch sighed and turned away. "Probably safer if I just go." He sighed.

Before Misty or Blitz were able to say anything, Izzy pushed them into a rest station for workers. "She's all yours Blitz. And don't worry. No pony will bother you on my watch." She called as the two looked at each other in confusion.

"Maybe we should start with what led up to us being here." Blitz sighed as Misty hung her head.

Sunny sat at the living room table and sighed at the note she found. "Dear Sunny… I went out for a walk. Will be back later…. Izzy." Rolling her eyes, Sunny set the letter to the side before going to prepare some food.

While Zipp and Pipp were in their lessons, Haven made her way to the museum. She wanted to see for herself what kind of stallion was able to get her daughter to agree to act more royal. Such a stallion was definitely worth seeing up close.

Journal entry 126
I don't exactly know how to explain it. But I started to get the feeling that the other nations will be harder to win over unless I figure out why ponies are both untrusting and desperate for trust. Maybe I'm reading things wrong and they're just horny and don't want to admit it. Either way. I should solve this problem before we encounter too many others. Note to self. Rumor has it that pegasi don't control weather. I'll investigate that too.


Author's Note

A short chapter with quite a bit going on. I wonder how long until things explode in their faces... or other body parts. Lol
