I am Shining Armor, captain of the Royal Guard, older brother of Princess Twilight Sparkle. I am prince to the Crystal Empire's Princess Cadance, my wife. At her Royal Highness Princess Celestia's word, I command legions of soldiers that stand ready to defend Equestria and it's citizens. I am strong, I am respected, I am looked up to as a paragon of accomplishment. Today, a new recruit asked me; What did I do right? how did I get to where I am today? This is my answer, this is my story.

Prince Shining Armor and Princess Cadance are happily married, but the royal duties they share in ruling the Crystal Empire can be a little distracting in regards to their personal relationship. As a gesture of goodwill to their beloved royals, the crystal ponies give the couple a free vacation from all work. Two tickets, one paradise resort, and unlimited love between two ponies destined to be together. There's nothing quite like living happily ever after.

NOTES
1. Straight-forward Shining Cadance. The couple is usually spending all their time fighting through disasters so why don't we give them a little time off?
2. The most powerful marital pairing to ever grace canon. Literally. (Reference the end of A Canterlot Wedding.)
3. Best read with a tropical drink in hand, such as a piña colada. (optional)
4. The couple's combined cutie mark used in various places: Full HD

When a teenage Mac gets invited to visit his cousin Gaff in the capital city of Canterlot, he doesn't think much of it. After all, it's only three weeks and soon enough he will be back in his comfortable state of working in the fields and taking care of his sisters and grandmother. Much to Mac's dismay, however, these three short weeks turn into memories for a lifetime, filled with unprecedented friendships and confusing loves. And, for all intents and purposes, this is how a shy young foal named Macintosh becomes the much-loved Big Mac.

NOTE: this story happens after the events in the comic series, issues #11 and #12. It will feature teenage Cadance, Shining Armor, Cheerilee and other characters you might recognise from the show and comics.

Cadence is the most popular girl in school. Shining isn't really popular at all. But when Cadence shows an interest in watching his sister, their worlds collide and suddenly they realize they aren't so different after all -with Twilight stuck in the middle of it.

Some days are rainy. Some days are normal. Some days you have to go out and save the world with your friends using magic necklaces.

Some days you have to fight off a schoolyard full of foals who have decided to attack you for no discernible reason. For Twilight Sparkle, this is one of those days.
