After a successful return of the night princess and a breakthrough through Changeling Lands - Equestria borders there were only a few things left to do. After the successful assault on the changelings and the destruction of (almost) all changeling hives, three ponies meet up and discuss the current situation at the personal chambers of Princess Celestia.
"Thanks for the personal audience your majesty" Ghost said
"It´s nothing," Celestia says "that´s the least I can do for your service to Equestria"
"We didn´t do as much your majesty"
"Yes, you did a heck of a lot more" Shining said with happiness in his voice
"It was nothing really, we just had enough of the endless war and that´s why I gave you the tip on the spy here"
"Oh yes thank you for that, I would never consider my housemaid for a spy"
"Yes we´ve always had a certain unique way of infiltration"
"I understood as much" Celestia said
"I must admit, I´ve never expected you princess to have such strategic thinking" Shining said
"WHAT!" Ghost almost jumped from the shock "this was planned by the PRINCESS!"
"Yes it was indeed my plan"
"How, when?"
"When you are all alone and you only have time for high-end ponies, one must come up with something not to get killed from boredom"
"I think that living between those wouldn´t be as much bad as you say, princess, with all due respect"
"If you think, well that brings us to your reward lieutenant"
"Are you sure it will work?"
"Yes it will, I have studied and perfected this spell for years if not months"
"If you say so princess, then let´s not delay this any longer"
"As you wish"
Celestia and Ghost stood to one another as Celestia´s horn began to glow in her yellow aura. "Ready?", "Yes", Celestia´s horn is now covered in the yellow-green aura and after a few seconds, she shoots it right on the Ghost. After the process was done Shining Armor, Celestia and Ghost with a new body and voice began walking down the street.
"I don´t think this is working, every pony is looking at me," Ghost says as they are walking down the street
"That´s because you are walking with princess and captain of the royal guard," Celestia says
"Yeah it´s usually around here if you are with someone popular you will be noticed almost instantly," Shining says
"If you say so"
They stooped in the entrance of a building called "Royal Hotel".
"Em, why have we stopped here?" Ghost asked
"Because this is your new home," Celestia said
"What a hotel?"
"Yes on top of that I bought you RVIP room, it´s just yours and you don´t have to pay anything"
"Wow thank you, I-I don´t know what to say"
"You don´t have to say anything, just as I said, Equestria is generous to its allies," Shining said
"Wow, but this is more than generous, but what about my soldiers?"
"Don´t worry, some of them choose to stay in the military and those who didn´t get some apartments too, I will give you numbers later"
"This is so much you´ve done for us, how can I repay you any of this princess?"
"You will repay me just like every pony else, make some friends" Celestia said
"Alright" Ghost gulped and went into the hotel
As he enters the hotel and is enjoying every detail of it he suddenly crashed into someone.
"Sorry my bad madam" Ghost says as he gets up and offers a hoof to a mare
"It´s quite okay my dear, wow I´ve never seen you before, oh where are my manners my name is Fleur-De-Lis, what´s your name?"
After a moment of silence and reviewing his new body.
"Fancy Pants"
