A Good Day All Around

Birds are astounding creatures. They continue to fascinate the eye of how much they can bring out a day in somepony, the same way as a dog in the park. So awe inspiring of how they manage to live a life so free of rule, to do anything they want without suffering much consequence to themselves. Often, the needs of the mass are ever growing for this type of way, more wanting to just let go of the responsibility that places itself in front of them like cold fast food leftovers. It’s a luxury that’s heftley thought of, and is to be never replaced until that achievement comes one day.

But not everypony realises that even though they don’t do the same as them, it doesn’t mean they don’t have their own struggles as well. It’s harsh living in a small place where almost everything looks out to kill you once you leave it’s safe confinement, or having to learn from a small age on how to fly and sore, to looking death in the face. It’s the same thing the ponies live, just a different way of telling the story…

Now, Shining Armor is a prince of an empire that has seen a fair amount of struggles as a recovering state. He’s even lucky to have the same currency as the rest of Equestria for how outdated the government system is. As the ponies become more accustomed to current society standards, so does their desires. More desire means increased demand to the crown, and extra headaches for the monarch.

Not wanting to see her husband bash his head against the wall everyday because of some asinine requests given by the ponies, The lovely Princess Cadence decides to give him a mandatory week vacation that is free of all cuts and blemishes. Just a smooth ride of bliss away from the chaos of spirit depriving law and procedure.

But what comes with this stress relief that he's allowed to have?

Well, it's simple… He just has to read Cadence’s to do list.
