Clare said to Cat, "Sorry, I didn't realise that you were all going someplace. Should we come along too? It would be easier, cuz we don't have anyplace to stay here. My name's Clare, and this is Diliges. You'd better explain to everyone."

Cicada nodded. "But you'll have to tell everypony at some point," she said. "One of my subordinates, Diliges, is here now. He arrived with his finder, Clare, a few moments ago."

"Alright," Twilight responded, "Do you and your other Changeling friends want to ride with Catherine and Jack to the raceway?"

Twilight, while knowing that the Changelings were their ticket home, still had the thought back in her mind that they might end up betraying her pony friends. Jack got into his car with Catherine, and called out to the Changelings.

"You wanna ride with us?" he asked.

Catherine nods shortly. This was a lot to take in, but she managed, "I suppose so. My name is Catherine Bellamy. Come with me. I'll introduce you to Jack, my boyfriend."

 

After introducing Clare and Diliges, and managing to track down Cicada with help from Diliges, Jack asked the Changelings if they wanted to ride with them.

 

Diliges response was a simple shrug.

 

(I really hope I got her last name right)

"So... who do we have here," Jack said, counting off the passengers. "We have Cicada, Clare, Diliges, and Catherine. That's about as much as this car can hold."

Jack pulled out of the driveway, and headed for the airport helipad.

"So, you guys are changelings?" Jack asked.

Rainbow Dash buckled up, not really noticing what car she was getting in as she sat beside Applejack and began babbling desperately.

"Well I talked to the guy who likes me, right? I was like, 'dude, I'm not attracted to you, you're a human' but really he's a cool dude, I mean he flew me to Scotland just because of one of my stupid ideas, right? But then he's like 'No, I don't care about that', and I'm like 'What? You want to be with me but you don't?' and....uugggh! Coming out wrong!" Rainbow Dash rubbed her forehead, pushing orange and yellow locks out of the way. "I don't get it, AJ. You know I was never into all that...mushy kissy-face romantic stuff. But if he doesn't want that, what does he want me to do?" She held up her hands uselessly. "What does he want?"

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------

 

A lip-stifled "EEP!"

Fluttershy panicked, pulling back, jumping more like, leaving her back against the window, one arms flailing around the headrest and the other braced against the cup holders in the back  of the van, which quickly darted down to secure her sundress.

After a few heavy breaths, she felt bad, and just as quickly resumed a normal sitting posture. "S--s--sorry," she said---it was a couple seconds before she could look at Colette, but when she did she blushed and inched a few fingers across the seat to take one of the girl's hands. "That---that was....you just startled me." She was still shaking, it had been--oh my. It was scary.

She hadn't expected everything to happen...so fast. And it wasn't the same anyway, not as being a mare. This being on all the time---well at first Fluttershy had thought it would be unbearably annoying--and she felt bad for stallions--but now, at least until a few seconds ago, she'd seen the upside. There was a little extra buzz that came with every time Colette touched her. Only it could be too strong, and it had just electrocuted her and she still felt like her hair was standing straight up. She was almost light-headed, afraid she might float away.

Rainbow Dash abruptly interrupted her conversation to wave innocently at Dennis, breaking off with Applejack as though they hadn't been discussing the human who'd just showed up. Blast! Of all times for her to have a follower--except even Scootaloo was never this stressful. She couldn't reply to Applejack if he stayed the car ride with them--it might just have to wait until later.

Logan waved a hand at Colette, shaking his head slightly, as he had a vehicle of his own. Angie sidled up next to him, arms crossed, "I think we almost have to many vehicles."

 

The officer looked down at her -  she was nearly half a foot shorter than he was - and raised an eyebrow, "How do you mean?"

 

"Some of these seat a decent amount of people." She punches his arm as she continues, "But now that you're back in commission, I can return my Challenger." She chuckle, almost muttering, she added, "Which I swear someone was sitting on."

Logan gave a brief laugh, "You can do that after the race. I don't think we'll have time to before hand. You'll have to get someone else to give you a ride, though."

Angie looked up at him, "And why is that, Logan Alexander?"

It wasn't very often Logan's middle name was used in conjunction with his first. It had really only been his mother who used it, when he'd done something incredibly stupid growing up, or she was simply putting emphasis on getting his attention. Angie used it simply as a joke. He started to walk towards his car again, opening the door for Ulysses to hop in, "Because I'm going mountain climbing with AJ afterwards." He said, simply.

 

Angelica stumbled slightly, "Woah, really? Mountain climbing?"

 

"She chose it." He replied, in a matter-of-fact way.

 

Angie smiled, "Well, have fun with that. Maybe I can convince the Scottish guys to give me a ride afterwards."

"You just want to hear them talk some more, don't you?"

"... ... Yes."

 

Logan chuckled and shut the door after the dog as Angie jogged across the yard to where she'd parked her car. Logan got into the driver seat of his car and let the door open, waiting for everyone else to pull out before doing so himself.

"Changelings, eh?" Jack responds, "Well, if that's the case, I think it would be best that the rest of the ponies are unaware of that fact. Does anypony else know of this?"

Jack did have worry about the Changelings, more specifically, how everypony else would react upon discovering this. Twilight knew, unbeknownst to Jack, but she vowed to work with the Changelings, even with doubts in the back of her mind.

Twilight got in the car with Logan and Angie. She wondered how they would react if she told them about Cicada.

"Uh, Logan," she said, "I... think you might need to know this."
