ENDING A (CHAOS): 

Mayor Mare sighs.  A wall of rumps isn’t the décor she would’ve chosen for her own office.  She could say something about it, but a lifetime of politics has taught her to pick and choose her battles.  Considering it’s the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and nothing’s drenched in tree sap and/or on fire, she’s already ahead.  She’ll wait until the complaints start rolling in.  If nopony else cares, she’s not going to say a thing, even if the camera has added at least ten pounds to her own flank, which she notices is under the Paperwork category, along with Raven Inkwell, Rainbow Harmony, and Parcel Post, among others.

She says nothing about it, but Scootaloo motions to it.  “So what do you think of our cutie mark database?”

“It’s unique.”  It’s the same thing she always says when she’s asked for an opinion she doesn’t want to give an honest answer to.

The Crusaders are proud of their work and cheer her words.

It’s yet another day in Ponyville, and Mayor Mare reminds herself to count the days until her term ends and she can move to another settlement.  Preferably one that isn’t so weird.
