Finally, it was here. Power Ponies issue number four-hundred and nineteen, the grand finale of the 'Spectacular Siege of the Silver Stallion' arc. Spike had completed all the chores on his list, finished his afternoon nap, and ploughed through his dinner. He'd even eaten all his green vegetables. At last he could settle down, with a small bowl of gems to snack on, and experience the most anticipated comic issue in living memory.
Sadly for him, Twilight was acting strange. At least, stranger than usual.
For context, set prior to the events of the Season 4 Finale 'Twilight's Kingdom'.

To put RD on the spot to see someone who didn't need to brag or showboat to save innocent lives, and in fact her bragging and showboating were undermining her ability to save lives.
Okay, nice joke here.
Oh. My sides. Ples halp. Aaa
Now if only she'd been wearing a tie she could take off as part of the effect...

I am not known for subtly. If I disliked the story, you'd have known after your ears stopped ringing from the megaphone.
I thought it made for an amusing comic strip like quickie.
That was a pretty cleverly written story. I loved it.
