“This is getting ridiculous. It’s just a door.” Darring held the knob with her hoof but couldn’t bring herself to turn it. The feeling had practically dubbed since the crossbow incident and it felt like there were more eyes on her than ever when she went into town.





“Hey Twilight, hey Pinkie.”

“Oh hey Lyra” they both replied.

“What are you two doing?”

“Just watching our friend A.K.” Pinkie replied happily she was having fun playing this new spy game with Twilight and Darring Do, who nopony knew was actually Darring Do but thought was an author who wrote books about Darring do. Pinkie had to rub her head to keep it from spinning.

“Is that the strange new pony in town? The one that scared herself with that crossbow?” Lyra tuned her lyre and sat on the bench next to them.

“Yeah. She hasn’t been settling into town life all that well I think. She used to live alone in the woods.” While Twilight wasn’t wrong any normal pony would have phrased it differently.

“Like Zacora? Now it makes a bit more sense.” Lyra nodded knowingly. “Social anxiety.”

“Possibly.” The princess of friendship made a note in her book. “Could you help keep an eye on her?”

“Already on it. After she ‘cried wolf’ the town watch has kept an eye on her as a potential troublemaker but I’ll let them know she’s just anxious so we can still keep an eye on her, but different?” Lyra didn’t sound quite sure of herself.

“We have a town watch?” Twilight didn’t know about that.

“Well yeah ever since the Nightmare moon incident I figured Pinkie would have told you.” Lyra tilted her head. “I mean we did vote you the president.”

“What?!?” Twilight looked at Pinkie confused.

Pinkie just smiled.
