Daily, they push themselves in their workouts. At this rate, they'll definitely be prepared for the #RotL2024 when it rolls around in the fall.

Daily, they keep track of astral movements and submit them to the #Canterlot Royal Astronomers' Union for safeguarding and recordkeeping.

And a list of other once-off tasks, including naps, reading, hanging out in the garden, baking, and just existing.

Perhaps, sometime, they'll have adventures planned. But for now, they're just living the #PonyLife.

Fleeting Step hasn't been doing too terribly much out of the ordinary these past few months. In fact, they've pretty much fallen into a pretty consistent routine that satisfies them:

They spend at least one or two days at the communal maker space at the heart of the #CrystalEmpire

They make sure to spend a few evenings with Olivia, her schedule permitting.

At least two weekends a month, they head back to #Ponyville and spend time at the Open Hooves Orphanage (and Ponyville in general.) ...

"I saw it in my telescope earlier this evening."

They take another bite of taco.

"I keep star logs of my observations of the sky and send them to the Canterlot Archives. Mostly, the Alicorn Nebula, but tonight, I spotted a large hunk of rock that was larger compared to yesterday."

"And I saw something that resembled @mlp_Luna, but I figure it was probably just a smudge. I doubt she'd want to be in space if she could help it."

((@mlp_Starhammer))

"Ponynapping? That sounds like a story for the Ponyville press to chew on." They look behind them, spotting @LifeSpell. They get out of the way.

"Well, thanks for the smoothie!" They place a VIP drink voucher into the tip jar as well before heading off to the VIP section. They have a few more of those vouchers to use."

SWEETS! FEATS! AND BOOPS AND BEEPS!

They chuckle nervously at @Olivia's remark. "Cotton candy jellybeans in Clovernatti-style chili, if we decide to try it." They tilt one of their ears in @mlp_Celestia's direction.

"You know, @mlp_Luna and I met with @MLP_Onyia, one our captors. That's how she managed to get her in. Sort of." They sigh. "Do you think your sister would manage to find us somehow? If our magic doesn't seem to be working, then..."

They ponder. "Speaking of, Olivia, any more thoughts on the horn stuff?"

Their ears flatten back at @mlp_Celestia's shock. They have some level of appreciation for her feelings: they felt them, too, when they discovered that something was amiss with @Olivia.

There was going to be a *lot* of trusts to rebuild.

They blink, wondering if @mlp_Luna ever received the note from their messagephant. Though they were fairly reliable, the messagephants had sometimes gotten lost. So who knew for sure.

In the meantime, they cuddle in closer to Olivia and listen.

[@Chrysalis]

They stay quiet for a little longer, then shift so that they're right next to @Olivia .

"Twigs and rocks, Olivia, how in Equestria are we going to get out of here?! My magic doesn't seem to be working, even though I can feel it!"

They blink, then grin in the dark before giving @Olivia a massive hug. "It really *is* you!" They give Olivia a smooch on the side of her muzzle before listening in on the conversation.

They frown, then try to give themselves some light again, only for it to sputter out. In the flickers, they can't see @Chrysalis. All they can hear is her voice, along with Celestia's.
