One of Equestria's most powerful beings is left alone for the day.
Unfortunately for him, he's bored.
Maybe that can be fixed...

Some days you save Equestria. Some days you just live a normal life. For Applejack, today has been one of the latter. Nothing interesting or world changing. Just minding her family's cart in the marketplace.

An ordinary day.

The pic I found for inspiration will be in the author's note at the end to prevent spoilers.

My name is Mercurial Gold, Personal Seneschal to Her Majesty Princess Luna.
Tonight's evening court started out as boring as usual; punctuated by the usual insufferable morons.
I honestly don't know how she handles it every night.
Sometimes, however, words can be far louder than actions.
Especially to those who need them most.

We all know the story of a human ending up in the land of Equestria.
Battles of magic, facing monsters and villains, self-discovery, friendship, and eventually a chance to go home...

But what if he didn't go home? What if he stayed and made a life there, in his new equine form?
This, is the end of that story.

The alicorns have seperated themselves from pony society and conduct research in secret.

At the same time a young Princess Celestia can't wait to meet her new baby sister, little does she know this day will be one of the worst she will ever experience.
