A certain white pegasus princess.

Fluttershy finds Soarin alone at the donut shop and decides to converse with him a bit. She soon discovers that he’s been bottling up his feelings of loneliness and mistreatment for a long time.

Look at Flash Sentry. Hitting on Twilight and being all nice to her. How dare he? He sucks.

I'm Shining Armor, and as Twilight's older brother, I'm the one who has to approve of whoever dates her. Or whoever wants to date her. Or, in the case of Flash Sentry, might even think about wanting to date her. But I don't like him. Not one bit. I have a visceral hatred of him from the very core of my being. So, I kick Flash Sentry's flank.

He deserves it, after all, and I'm sure that you all agree.

Twilight Sparkle is receiving a newly appointed group of guards to Ponyville after her peers realize just how many dangerous ponies she’s taken in. She’s surprised when she discovers that the Captain of this new guard is none other than Flash Sentry, who she still has a crush on, and wants to explore a relationship with.

Alas, to her disappointment, Flash Sentry is only interested in learning about Friendship, because once he graduates he can retire and live a peaceful life.

Will Twilight be able to capture the heart of her guard? Or will the princess of Friendship remain in the friend zone?

Vinyl Scratch is alone. Her parents are gone and she's estranged herself from the rest of her family years ago. Now she's fallen on hard times; she spends her days drinking, her nights partying and the intervening time in trouble with the guards.

After one too many run-ins with the authorities she is assigned a personal guard to help her get her life back on track. The only question is: can she truly be helped, or is she far too gone at this point?
