Yosh was visited in the night by Princess Luna as he was walking with Snowdrop through a summer-like winter field.
“So how goes the mission?” asked the Moon Princess. “Are you doing well?”
The duck-dragon looked to see Luna just as he had known her to look before he was afflicted by ‘Moon Eye’. The disease that took no time at all to strip him of all his physical vision.
“Snowdrop and I were just talking about that,” he replied.
“I’m really excited for him,” Snowdrop of The Dream Realm stated. “I think it is worth our special cheer.”
Luna blushed.
“Right…,” she trailed.
“Oh,” puppy-eyed Yosh along with Snowdrop. “Please.”
“I can’t take those eyes!” proclaimed the Moon Princess as she got ready to start the dance. “Three… two…”
‘Moon glow, Moon glow
Fireflies arise!
Stomp your hooves
And wish upon the skies!’
Yosh and Snowdrop rolled on the warm snow as Princess Luna did all she could to retain her regal appearance within Yosh’s dream.
“Alright…,” she stammered. “I must be off, Yosh. Be well and good luck.”
Snowdrop started to wave as Yosh did the same.

NUDGE-NUDGE
“Yosh,” said a voice. “Yosh.”
“No…,” he moaned as he began to wake. His eyes thinking they were seeing Twilight. However it was actually Isabelle all perky with a wagging tail eagerly getting him up.
“We need to get you ready for your first full day as mayor, Mr. Mayor!” she cheered. “Do you need a shower? Your clothes prepared? Your diaper changed?”
The duck-dragon sat up quickly and felt at his mid-section. He then realized he had to use the bathroom.
“Where’s the bathroom?” he asked while still coming to life.
“It’s to your left and behind you, Mr. Mayor,” she stated eagerly. “Do you need help?”
“No,” moaned Yosh as his brain hallucinated the bathroom being behind him and easy to access. “I’ll be right back.”
Isabelle watched as Yosh toddled dangerously close to the open door. A faceplant was almost imminent.
FWIP-SCOOCH
“Isabelle?” wondered the duck dragon as he felt himself shift. “I’ve got this.”
“I know, Mr. Mayor,” she gleed. “I thought I’d make sure all your grooming supplies were set out.”
“Oh,” he yawned. “Thanks, Isabelle.”
“Just doing my job, Mr. Mayor!” she replied merrily as Twilight started to wake up and Spike continued to sleep.

“So it’s off to work?” asked Twilight after Yosh had gotten all ready to head off to Town Hall. “Can I come?”
“Closed session today,” stated Isabelle. “Important town business.”
The Princess of Friendship frowned.
“Alright,” she pouted.
“I do believe Tom Nook is coming by to show you more of the town and its shops,” noted the administrative assistant canine while glancing over her clipboard. “I do see we have an opening around lunch if you’d like to meet up for a meal at the local coffee shop?”
“Sounds good,” replied Twilight. “You and Yosh go do your work and Spike and I will meet up at the coffee shop that I will make doubly sure that Tom Nook shows us how to get to.”
“Great!” cheered Isabelle while placing an arm in a hovering position behind Yosh. “Let’s go, Mr. Mayor!”
The duck-dragon was still very confused about what was going on and why he’d be chosen as a ‘mayor’ over Twilight. However there was a part of him that felt really confident about being seen as so important while also not fearing walking into things and getting a sore beak. He was comfortable. Perhaps the most comfortable since the days before he went totally blind. Hopefully this feeling would only continue as the day wore on.
