Written for April Fools 2014. A bit of sad to balance out all the shenanigans.

I was still a young colt when I took my first steps into the world of steam engines and railroading. I was meant to sing the song of steel, the chorus of the railways. Despite the challenges, discomfort, and dangers, I wanted to be a railway pony. I wanted a fine steam engine like #3803. I wanted to be like Highball.

What I got? Well now, there's a story worth telling...

In a yard, all alone, a pony whiles away the time caring for the lawn and the roses. Roseluck can understand that, to a point. And she's determined to help.

Her guilt weighing heavily on her mind each moment she took up the mantle as the new ruler, was another moment that reminded her, of how she got the crown in the first place. Despite the negative thinking and worries she felt, Princess Cadenza's rule is well received and prosperous with the assistance of a few trusted ponies through the years of her reign.

Now, a thousand years later, the day to celebrate her victory over both siblings and her coronation as Equestria's ruler coming up.

So, she has sent a mare that she foal-sit for to ponyville. Moondancer is tasked to look over the celebration and add any finishing touches to the celebration if necessary.

Cadenza hopes that the mare will make a few real friends in the process. But, with the threat of losing what social standing she has, and the imminent return of the Celestial sisters, can Moondancer, learn the value of true friendship or will Equestria be led under a new rule?
