Harry frowned. His owl Hedwig hadn't been able to deliver his letters through the portal to Equestria. That was concerning.

This whole second year at Hogwarts was becoming quite concerning, really. Which was saying something after his first.

He had made several friends. Hermione Granger, Ronald Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Lavender Brown, to name a few. He had even had fun! Learning Quidditch had been great! Though he had missed being able to fly on his own wings.

It was honestly kind of weird for Harry, returning home after spending most of his childhood with his adoptive mother and his loving aunt, big sisters and big brothers. Without them, he'd have had the most miserable life imaginable. But, this was where his parents had come from. He had to learn all about it.

I've got a job again! And it's a great job! I'm very happy to finally be moving in a direction I want in life!

Bad news: My muse is stuck on stuff that isn't Pony. Hmmm... But I might have a blog post soon with a concept to cross my latest obsession with MLP...

Nothing good ever seems to happen near my birthday anymore. But I'm on track to find a better job this time.

However, if you want to commission me for a story, I charge $25 per thousand words, but $40 for 2000 words in a single shot. PM me!

While dreaming, Shepherd once again entertains Princess Luna in her human form.

Shepherd: "And that... Is how you make a Denver omelet!"

Luna: "Hmm... Yes, interesting."

They were in a generic diner for his dream. Luna was sitting at a table, looking forlorn. Shepherd frowned as he set the food in front of her.

Shepherd: "Something wrong, Princess?"

Luna: "Hm? Oh no, it smells quite delicious. Your memories about food are very distinct."

I've been working hard to make my birthday into a happy day. To truly be thankful for all I have, and to not punish myself for what I don't have.

And this year, I think I'm doing a lot better on that score. Maybe I'm not where I wanted to be, but I'm on the way to finding that out at last.

Hope yours is just as happy.

During the clean up of the Changeling assault on Canterlot, Shepherd finds a Changeling body near some rubble. He kneels down, looking upon the Changeling. Luna trots up alongside him.

Luna: "... What are you thinking, Shepherd?"

Shepherd: "I don't know. What do you think I am thinking?"

Luna: "Despite this being our enemy, you feel sad at his passing?"

Twilight: "Shining... You know... One day, you will... I mean, Cadence is... Is immortal. And you're-"

Shining: "I know. I'm not. I'm fully aware of it."

Twilight: "Then... Then how do you-?"

Shining: "By cherishing every moment with her. And living to make our life together have meaning, and love."

Shepherd looked down upon the Pelennor Fields, as the Rohirrim charged upon the armies of Mordor. He smiled, almost grimly, as the Riders of Rohan rode to sweep the orcs heroically.

He blinked, as Twilight appeared next to him.

Shepherd: "Eh?! Twilight?!"

Twilight: "Ah, I'm sorry Shepherd. I was experimenting with a dream walking spell Luna taught me... I can leave if you'd like-"

Shepherd: "No, no... It's okay. Anything to help you grow in your education, I guess."

Celestia: "Shepherd... As your guardian, I need to make sure you have a thorough understanding of the birds and the bees."

Shepherd: "Uh... Miss Celestia, I'm not actually a teenager. I know how sex works."

Celestia: "I know, but the state mandates that I make sure you do."

Shepherd: sigh "Fine... We read a book on anatomy and I pass a test, right?"

Celestia smiles, goes to the door to her office... And locks it.
