You've probably heard of the Royal Guard. Brave, loyal ponies who let nothing past. Wearing their gold or blue armor with pride. Standing around, looking stern and guarding the princesses.

Well, contrary to popular belief, that's not all they do. They also go out on missions. They go be the good guys and defeat the bad guys and save the day and all of that. But there's one thing they can't beat.

Commercial Breaks.

This is the tale of the intermission (or Commercial Break) during one of the daring missions of Captain Shining Armor and two of his trusty Lieutenants, Cherry Fizzy and Bronzewing.

This may take a while...
