A Helping Hoof

What the heck, Luna- you can't just hit a filly- especially not one who needs your guidance.
Well... I guided her out of her bedroom window and into a giant humble pie.
Humble pie tastes like crap! Give me some lemon pie! Ugh; that filly is going to be trouble for a long while.
Don't look at me; I didn't write her.  What?  Some characters in the show exist for one reason.
You know that one royal guard we have that isn't white? Hm; I have noticed him. He must have been important, right?
No.  The show writers think if Twilight Sparkle gets him as a love interest they can use it to make a canon couple.
Ratings and views go up; we all win. But we already have a female audience...  who is this guy?
We have some poor sap who thinks making more incidental cameo appearances than Stan Lee is going to win hearts? Oh, that's cute.
The love interest idea is dumb if that guy's going to mosey his way into the Mane 6 long enough to actually develop.
Whatever happens between those two, it's gonna be hamfisted.  Hi Princess! Twilight! You're back!  WHO ARE YOU?
It begins.
