 In Ponyville another penultimate, stereotypical, average day, in an otherwise generic week rolled through the rather vanilla town. To any outside eye, this particular day was no different from the one that came before and the one before that, and so on. It was a simple, yet rewarding, cycle that most of the residents didn't seem to mind all that much. In fact, since Twilight had taken the crown and left Ponyville for Canterlot, most days in Ponyville had gone back to their simple, slow, and uneventful patterns. Even with the school of friendship being built in the middle of town and the god of chaos taking up residents in Ponyville’s backyard, things were still fairly humdrum. This mundaneness to an untrained eye could very well be seen as bland and boring uniformity; in which the same routines lead to the same events playing out, day in and day out. That, however, could not be further from the truth and any closer and actual inspection that would reveal this. As even in this normal cycle of things, there will always be some element of entropy, even without Discord’s involvement. 
Today for instance, despite all its artificial similarities, was just as special as any other. For it was full of all its own tails, adventures, and dramas playing out for the first and only time. Coated under the wonderful backdrop of an autumn storm that would never happen again. Not necessarily due to some unique weather phenomena that marked the event but rather, because even in an enclosed system such as Ponyville, nothing would ever play out the exact same way twice. For the most drastic example of this effect, one needs to look no further than the “average day” of an otherwise “average farmer”. In the perfect encapsulation of the microcosm that was Ponyville, its local cafe.
