Here is a very stupid omake for if Shepherd had arrived and settled into Ponyville even before Twilight came...
The party for the Summer Sun Celebration was just too damn loud. Shepherd was trying to sleep, damnit! He'd had a long day of getting shit together and he just wanted some sleep! Not that he didn't like Pinkie's parties: He loved them! She was one of the kindest ponies and first to accept him, the strange alien, into their community. But he really needed shut eye.
