Ponyvile -
Ponyvile is a farm town that helps supplying food to the rest of the planet. The town is near Canterlot the capital city of the planet and been supplying the city with since the early days of Queen Oriana‘s rule. And has changed since those far off days.
“Rainbow Dash!” Applejack shouted causing the lazy Pegasus to fall off the chair she’s been sleeping on.
“What is it?” Rainbow Dash asked getting up.
“Stop sleeping and do your job. You’re lucky I even hired you with you sleeping on the job,” Applejack said.
“Rainbow please don’t sleep on the job. I worked hard to get you this job,” Fluttershy said to her friend and works in the farm animal domes.
“I was on my break,” Rainbow Dash said.
“Well breaks over,” Applejack said walking off to over see the rest of the factory where the crops collected from the indoor farms are taken and shipped out. The Apple Farm uses the latest farming technology to make as much food as they can within their environment control indoor farms, with some of them stacked on top of each other due to limited building space.
“Come on Rainbow we still have 2 hours left on our shift,” Fluttershy said.
“Coming,” Rainbow Dash said wondering how she ended up working on a farm instead of being a Wonderbolt. Even if she did sleep a lot as a soldier didn’t mean that she wouldn’t had made a great Wonderbolt.
She pass a poster of Pinkie Pie’s kid show, where her acting as herself made her a favorite for young kids to watch. And pass a magazine with the cover showing Rarity on the cover. Ever since the Sun celebration a few years back where Rarity got to make a custom dress for Princess Sunset, her frame as a designer has taken off.
“Man I wish I was on a planet where weather patrol is still a thing,” Rainbow Dash said thinking of the stories of the past where Pegasus ponies use to control the weather and live on cloud cities.
“Rainbow you know that the weather machines handle that and all the farms are indoors now,” Fluttershy said.
“I know but if I could I would use that time to practice so, I can be a Wonderbolt and be part of the military,” Rainbow Dash said.
“Dash those Wonderbolts are just for show. The real military doesn’t do airshows, they’re just part of the old military from the first Queen’s young days that managed to hang on. They’re more of a recruiting branch than anything else,” Fluttershy said.
“I know but some of the best fighter pilots had their start as a Wonderbolt,” Rainbow Dash said.
“Or you could work as a Shadowbolt,” Fluttershy suggested.
“They do work close with the princess, but I heard you have to either be personally picked by the princess or the other members back you for membership,” Rainbow Dash said.
“Well they are protecting the princess,” Fluttershy said.
“Have you seen what they been dealing with on Earth?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“I have and they really should go elsewhere,” Fluttershy said.
“I wonder what she’s doing right now?” Rainbow Dash wonders.

On Earth -
“Is there anyone there?” Ranma’s muffle voice asked as he has his head stuck in a bucket and unable to see where he’s going.
“Ranma how did this happen?” Mary asked him.
“Never mind, how it happen I need this thing off,” Ranma said who is having a hard time figuring out where Mary’s voice is coming from so just turn where he thinks it is.
“Did you put that on so you don’t have to hear the training your girlfriends are going through?” Mary asked.
“Yes,” Ranma said.
“Well it’s either that or them playing with the sabertooth tigers or those bears,” Mary said who seen the royal family’s pets.
“I wish they didn’t have to be slaves to that sex hungry bimbo Sunset. I mean she has plenty of girls already and our aunt. She just a female version of the old pervert,” Ranma said.
“Ranma,” Mary said her voice heavy with dread.
“Sunset is right behind me isn’t she?” Ranma asked.
“No that would be much better than what you just did,” Mary said.
Ranma felt the bucket lifted off of his head and sees that he has wandered into the kitchen and Mary is at the counter by the fridge while standing in front of him is Sunset. Who is glaring at him. All Ranma could do was give out a weak laugh seeing what a mess he has gotten himself into.

Present -
“And that’s why Sunset is using Ranma as a pack mule,” Mary explains to her younger cousin Tomoko.
“Wow, Ranma such has rotten luck,” Tomoko said.
“Tell me about it,” Ranma said pulling the cart that Sunset is riding in, as he pass them by.

Author's Note
1 - Twilight never went to Ponyvile and there was never a Nightmare Moon trying to bring night forever. So the girls living in Ponyvile are still living in Ponyvile and Twilight never went through what happen in the show. So she was never the personal student of Celestia as she was busy with raising Sunset to take on a personal student. As for the other mane six without the big life altering event that happen in cannon just never happen.
Like without Batman losing his parents, he would had never become Batman in the first place.
