Captain Shining Armor of the Royal Guard is a force to be reckoned with, especially alongside his loyal Lieutenant, Flash Sentry. Together, they have overcome all manner of evil threats in the Crystal Empire and beyond. So, when Princess Twilight Sparkle requests that Shining Armor arrive in Ponyville to look after the quaint, humble farming village for a single day, Shining feels that he and his partner are overqualified for the challenge. But is that necessarily a good thing?
Ok, I'm in.
Gee SS&E, this is, like, your fifth story within the past week or so. How do you find the time to write all of this!?
Really enjoying this so far, though "uneartly idea" should be "earthly idea."

We in there.
Bracing for impact...
The Impressionable Young Minds of Colts and Fillies
Mrs. Cake has been taking Fourth-Wall breaking lessons from Pinkie, apparently.
Of all the ponies...
...Yeah, I got nothing. Needless to say, this is the most I've laughed in a good, long while.
I like this version of Flash Sentry.
This was good, Skirts. Not a super-fantastic comedy, but I was laughing the whole way through at the references and the character interaction.
Retard Belle strikes again...
Never doubt the power of fuzzy muzzle nuzzles. They can heal the world.
The world...
Just accept that your place in life is that of a sex toy, Shining.
Very nice. I've always pictured Ponyville as a town so small that the local sherrif office is run by their only prisoner (and a Help Wanted : Sherrif sign is outside on the door), but this is very nice indeed.
...My best bet would be Fifth and Mane Street!"
Which if you look out the window is right there....
Hoodie?
My word, Flash Sentry is a complete airhead. But at least SS&E had the good sense to make him a likeable airhead.
Also, I understood all of those chapter titles. I have watched too many action movies.
There is no shame in loving vanilla.
You know, I bet the class is going to love this field amputation story.
Or not.
Oh lordy, the flower trio. At least they'll have a crisis.
Not sure if Flash is lucky or unlucky.
Famous last words, for sure.
Poor fellas.
All's well that ends well.
And not a single foal in the class slept well that night.
Well done Flash.
This was a fun read. Shining and rest of the guard really are like the army in most superhero movies, only there to emphasize the value of the real heroes(alicorns, elements of harmony). Well in positive note, it works out as a glorified boys' club to get away from the mares every now and then.
The school house scene and them getting drunk were golden, so funny scenes.
....... And where are the explosions??????
Is this staged?
How do you write 15,000 words so quickly.... And manage to make me laugh so hard
5156121 It's Ponyville, they rebuild quickly.

What hoodie?
Best possible ending. Right there.
I do believe that my sides have flown off into space.
So that explains why law enforcement is Ponyville sucks
5152982 She's lived with Pinkie for Celestia knows how long. She's probably used to it.
And Cheerilee never allowed any royal guards into her classroom again
"Virge"?
5153730 Yes.
...They're now officially doomed
Non-Twilight Alicorns are kind of flat
Yeah, I think that's the appropriate response
...My new OTP, everybrony!
I knew that Big Mac was up up to no good... If your tail is in a twist over dragons, keep in mind your ruler has the ability to drop a solar flare, , and gryphons... laser pointer
Ok so Ponyvillians are Weird, crazy and oblivious.. seems to fit! The flower trio clearly faked the whole spider thing just to get "Fuzzy Muzzle Nuzzles" from Flash
This was fun.
I've always thought it would be odd to be a stallion in Equestria. A land where most of the leaders and heroes are female. And here we have Shining, overshadowed by his wife and his sister. But I guess women in our world have been going through the same thing for thousands of years, so turnabout's fair play.
To my (admittedly flawed) recollection, this is the first time you've really given Shining a major role, so that was nice. And I continue to approve of your use of Flash (I especially like this doofus-y but likable and well-meaning version of him).
5153073 Common slang in the USA used to refer to a hooded sweatshirt.
What a beautiful story. Poor Flash though.
Is it just me or was that a reference to background pony?
i love the story so far
this is going to be so funny
