During a lull in the conversation at an upper class charity dinner, Rarity takes a moment to contemplate some commonly held assumptions made of Princess Celestia. Specifically, her table manners.
Prior to the events of A Canterlot Wedding, Princess Celestia asks Cadance what ought to be done with the changelings that have been discovered living hidden in Equestria. Cadance's ruthless response surprises her.

Rainbow Dash gains leadership of the Wonderbolts. She quickly discovers that whoever coined the term 'the joys of command' must have possessed a twisted sense of humor. Scootaloo arrives with a familiar, cocky attitude, not helping matters.
Any story can have a generic wish fulfillment scenario. What about a story that does them all at once? Twelve cliches for the price of one!—You/he/I just moved into Ponyville U, and Princess Luna did too..
