Greetings, I am Jig Saw. I am earthen pony with an orange coat and yellow hair with white-tipped accents,  a white furry underside and a puzzle piece for his cutie mark, as  my destiny was fitting pieces together, whether in boxes or theory. One could say I was a rather fluffy pony, so much so that other ponies made fun of me for my odd cute appearance. People often called me Kent puff, which is ironic considering I think myself actually quite intelligent.

My parents told me once, I was born with a cutie mark and that I didn't have to wait. To this day the cutie mark assigned to my flank is the only piece of the puzzle I have yet to solve. with every iteration of logic i have to possess, still leaves me with more lingering questions.

I think my story starts when I was seven years old. although my parents would want you to believe the it started as soon as i was born. who ever may be right may be up to you but I retain most of my memories of when I was seven. You forgive me if my brain was just not developed enough for remembering anything past. I had entered Canterlot with my parents on the day where I had a purpose. they had to visit Princess Twilight sparkle just to tell them how I was doing, it was as such they did every thirty moons. I can only hope they found her happy like she told me she wanted to be. however this visit she was busy and was instead met by Starlight Glimmer. She looked quite different than before, perhaps it was due to age, or perhaps something else entirely. Anyway after talking to her for a bit about our adventures I decided to roam on my own, to see what else was in the castle. you see I was not much into meaningless conversations. I would rather fill my brain with jeux d'esprit and poetry. 

While Starlight talked about the latest gossip of the royal court, I wandered through the halls listening to the sounds around me. There were many noises coming from various places within the castle. Some were pleasant and some were unpleasant. Still others sounded merely annoying. A lot of times I liked the sound of silence. Sometimes though, I got bored and wished for music. I guess I never felt truly comfortable unless I knew that there was something to listen to. Music seemed to be one of the most important aspects of Equestria society. Everyone listened to it. They sang along whenever they heard it, danced to it, played instruments to it, and argued over it. Even now, several years later, I am surprised that more people aren't killed by accidents caused by the constant arguments over favorite songs. I suppose it's just part of pony nature to argue over anything. 

Door after door I passed. Many of them had inscriptions and yet one of them on the other side of the door I heard some bickering with a known voice I was familiar with. from the few scrupulous voices that I heard. I perceived that Twilight was in fact being cornered into a place where she would have to make room for every pony for new territory. This was going to cause problems. but from the map that i looked like the buildings that I saw were out of place, not equal, and the various ponies in the room said that it was not acceptable. Of course they were just thinking in two dimensions, they could have easily solved the problem by adding a second story to their buildings. I entered the meeting place with a content smile. nodding to twilight while I passed her. 

"JIG SAW THIS IS A PRIVATE MEETING YOU HAVE TO LEAVE!" but I moved the buildings around and before she said anything else I had solved the puzzle. Twilights mouth was agape, as was the entire clad that was there. 

"That pony just solved a diplomatic crisis!" said one. 

"He must be a genius! He should be working for the crown!" Another added. 

I smiled and nodded at them until I reached the edge of the crowd and opened the door out seeing my parents there with hand on their hips. 

"Jig Saw, where have you been? are you disturbing Twilight?" asked my mother.

"The puzzle is solved" I simply say. The silence of the meeting was a bit unnerving to say the least. No one spoke up against it. Just everyone stared at each other waiting for someone to speak up. Then suddenly a pegasus stood up on the table next to Twilight, "I dare say, why didn't he come up earlier Twilight? The solution to the riddle was right under our noses the whole time!" The pegasus bellowed. His name was Lucky Seven. He was very tall, well built, and muscular. He also wore an intimidating black coat with gold trimming and red accents.

All eyes turned towards my face but no one dared to look away from him. I was smiling calmly, and i was obviously not enjoying the attention. "Its what I do sir. it on my mark" I say pointing down at my cutie mark. "hmm a puzzle piece... " Twilight muttered.
"Your majesty, you looked perturbed when I entered your office." I pointed out. "but you looked relieved after I had solved what was on the table? Am I correct? "

"Well yes... you're quite clever Jig.... But still..." She trailed off looking annoyed. "It was not polite of you to interrupt the meeting. You know better than that boy. Now please leave."

I bowed slightly and  began to leave. "Um one second... Jig Saw correct?" 

"That is correct mam" I say turning back to her.

"Have you ever thought about taking on another challenge such as this again?"

"No ma'am I haven't. I'm happy doing what I do best. Packaging things."

She sighed and put her head in her hooves. "Well why not pack for me?"

"Mam?" I ask innocently.

She looks at me expectantly. "I could use a pony to sort through things here in the palace why not work for me?"

"Yes ma'am, if you want me to."

"Good, good, you can start tomorrow."

I nod and bow once again. I look behind me to see my parents mouths open wide staring at me. They seemed stunned. I turn back to Twilight who has a smirk on her face. "So long son, enjoy yourself and don't forget to eat your carrots." With those words I left the room in a stupor, feeling as though I'd just won the lottery. i was fighting rapidly and grimacing in pleasure grunting happy noises into the air. my parents had tried to calm me down. but nothing worked. all i knew was that now I had a new purpose in life: To become the greatest packer in Equestria and take over for Twilight as the leader of the Royal Packing Service.

The first day was a disaster though. i first woke up very late as i could not sleep prior to the news.  After getting dressed I went downstairs to find breakfast being prepared by my mom. she gave me a quick hug and kissed me on the cheek which made me blush. "You'll make a great servant to the princess." She says.

"Thank you." I reply.

After eating I took a bath and brushed my teeth. It was almost noon so I decided to go outside to check out my surroundings. I walked past the front gate and noticed several guards standing guard. they were armed and serious. As I got closer they quickly saluted me and motioned for me to follow. We walked along a path leading to the castle wall. I saw more guards stationed there too. When we arrived at the top i was greated by the manager saying i was late. 
"Look I get it from what i heard this is your first job. but we run things tight around here in more ways then one. We need everything done on time or else the princess will have a fit! So try to keep up okay?"

"You mean like this?" i said organizing the messy breakfast in front of him in order of size. 

"Unbelievable! you organized my lunch to where I can see everything!" he leaned into my ear "you will make a fine addition! just try not to be late anymore ok?"

"Understood sir." and thus I was employed in packing for Twilight Sparkle.
