Padlock was never one to stay in one place for too long. He preferred to live in the streets rather than live the high life. After an "altercation" he needs a new place to live, and finds himself in Ponyville. Twilight Sparkle takes an interest in this strange stallion after hearing him use an odd phrase. Intent on understanding this living enigma, she tries to learn about him through gentle prodding and pestering. Mostly pestering though.

I came up with the idea for this story after trying to describe the concept of contentment to a friend. After struggling to explain it to him for a while, I finally just said "C'est La Vie".
