"Holy shit!" a TSA agent yelped, jumping back. "Uh...uh...need...assistance."

I stepped out of the plane bridge and onto the terminal floor. "Oh boy...you have no, fucking, idea." I looked back, watching Moon bolt out of the bridge towards me. "Moon--"

"They're coming!" Moon ran past, spinning around and landing flank first against the agent's knees. "Incoming!"

The airport security grew tense as the plane bridge rumbled. "Um...is this gonna be a bomb or so--"

"Worse." I stated, watching Foxglove try to outrun the flood, her pregnant belly too swollen and blocking her legs from running. "Oh shit." I stepped to the side, watching the miniature stampede rush out of the plane. The multicolored horde stormed out, kept in a blob by the abundance of frazzled Burlington TSA agents. "They come." I started to laugh, watching as the foals stopped and turned to me. "They come!"

An agent walked slowly over to me. "Um...sir.... I think you're going to have to go through security again."

I turned to the fat guard. "...Oh god, I forgot how fat people were." I shook my head. "And yeah, no shit." I turned to my herd, nearly ninety strong. "Now, you gonna help me or not?"

The tubby woman shifted herself back. "I don't...know...how."

I rubbed my face. "And I thought the Equestrian border was bad." I stepped out before my children. "Kids, two rows, line up! First row in line gets ice cream!"

In a flash the foals, hopping over one another and scurrying around the airport, lined up perfectly. I smiled as Wayne, always the little asshole, stepped forward and latched onto my Ankle. "...Wayne...you're a pisser."

Moon snaked herself around my leg. "I'm sorry...but you planned to do this with Foxglove? Alone?"

I shrugged. "I'm handling it alright."

Moon Light rubbed her snowy head. "Oh by the gods...this is technically mine now too, isn't it?"

"Your problem? Oh yeah, the- right.... Awesome." I smiled as the foals lined up. I turned to face the TSA agents. "I'm the god damn Piper." I started walking towards the security, my foals slowly chugging along behind me. "Moon, can you get through this and find a market or something?"

Moon Light watched as I lead my kids towards the bewildered agents. "First thing after arriving in another world, you want me to head out on my own?"

I walked slowly, guided along by the security like the bunch of petty authority figures they were. "It's Vermont...it's not like New York." I kept the foals moving on, ignroing their petty bickering as they tried to form up a proper line. "Besides, do you want to handle this instead?"

An agent walked up to me, one of the less atrociously fat ones. "Did you want help?"

"I got it!" One of my guards ran out of the plane. "Sorry, sorry, the other passengers started yelling at me!" She bolted over, pistol jangling against her side. "I--"

"Gun!" An agent shouted.

My guard backed up. "Wait, I have a permit! I'm a guards-woman! Wait!"

I lowered my head, rubbing my forehead. "I should have just taken a boat...or car. Bus." I sighed loudly as a siren went off in the distance. "God, damn, airports."
