I like to avoid getting too involved in 'Equestrian Issues', but in my line of work I still end up neck deep in it more often than I'd like. This time was no different, even if the stakes were higher.

Decades of tensions between the Equestrian Union and the United States reached their boiling point with the disappearance of the six most important ponies on the planet, and I ended up right in the middle of it.

But I wasn't alone, even when I wanted to be: I had a hitchhiker.
