Short Hand: Shining Armor: On Dating My Sister · 1:06pm Jul 26th, 2021
Shining: "You know... Shepherd, I know it's a tall order but I want you to date my sister."
Shepherd: "I... Wha?"
Shining: "You've been keeping her from destroying the planet. We're clearly going to need you to keep doing that."
Shepherd: "That's going to be a full time job!"
Shining: smiles "There are a lot of perks and benefits?"
Shepherd: "In other words it's way too good to be true, like any dream job."
Shining: "Look: I will be the best wingstallion that ever existed for you and Twilight to get together. Because let's be honest: Nopony else is going to stand up to her as much as they need to!"
Shepherd: "And keep her from destroying the world?"
Shining: "Of course!"
Shepherd: "You do realize I'm mortal, right?"
Shining: "There are ways around that issue."
Shepherd: "Why do you have to make that sound so ominous?!"
Shining: smile "Welcome to Equestria."
This is a bit too "continue the Redfield bloodline" for my tastes...

But does Shining Armor have a zapping system?
It's interesting how you explore multiple ways Shining and Shepherd's relationship could go in Short Hand: amicable or clashing.
Honestly hope it goes amicable with the named stallion to named mare ratio in the show. Shepherd needs all the guy friends he can get.
