When Rarity received a request to complete a very important job for a very important client, she didn't hesitate to accept. The request happened to come from Manehattan, and after some debate, Sweetie Belle convinced her older sister to take her along so she could see Babs Seed. The project would take a couple weeks, and the two promised to write home frequently to share their experiences with their friends.

But the letters never came, and after two months, the two returned with little to say about their trip. When they do speak, their stories are elusive and vague. Rumor has it that Princess Twilight has heard more, but she isn't talking, either. One thing is clear. There's something else going on — something hidden just between the lines.

NOTE: This story uses a mechanic to make two stories in one, and thus requires two separate reads. This mechanic is designed for full screens only. Phones and partial screens will not format correctly 95% of the time. If the formatting looks wrong, minimize the font until it works for you so you can enjoy it properly.
