It had been an exhausting yet fulfilling day as Mayor Mare's assistant. After drafting three lengthy speeches, approving budgets, and responding to a stack of correspondence, your quill was worn down to a nub. The addresses you penned for the hospital, school, and town hall elicited uproarious standing ovations, propelling Mayor Mare to dizzying heights of popularity. Your moving words on unity and fellowship transformed Ponyville into a mushy group hug of emotions that day. While organizing campaign events, you came across a peculiar ten-page proposal for a life-size Rainbow Dash statue, complete with sketches and building plans in an exaggerated hoofwriting as subtle as a sonic rainboom. You filed the proposal away into the 'deranged constituents' drawer for now. Processing the paperwork to fund Fluttershy’s animal shelter required saintly patience, especially when accounting for the costs of that regrettable chimera incident best left unsaid. On another note, Derpy’s latest crash landing had caused damage that would take weeks to repair. Though her heart was always in the right place, her landings rarely were. With the sun sinking low, your legs protest with every step. As you put the final documents in order, Mayor Mare trots up with an affable beam.

"Burning the midnight oil again?"

she tease, rolling her eyes.

"Must you always outshine the rest of us? Show a little mercy to this old mare and call it a day! Dinner's on me at the cafe. As your Mayor, I can't have my star assistant burning out!"
