The news reached every outpost of the Royal Guard of Equestria: the Princesses finally started gathering the newest generation of their famous Council of Harmony. Now every unit of the Royal Guard must sent their representatives to swear their allegiance to the Princesses' new Council member. Even the small garnison of Ponyville must sent a delegation to Canterlot, composed of the garnison's leading officer and her three newest recruits, among them the recently-promoted Cloud Kicker who has a whole different reason to meet and swear her allegiance to the new Councilor.
Alternative ending/sequel of the story Tales of Apple Scratch : the Lieutenant Cloud Kicker
As it replaces the epilogue of said story, it's advised to read the prequel first, but it should be able to be readable on its own (at least I hope it is).
Written for Chengar Qordath's Cloud Kicker shipfic event (though I'm hope I'm not breaking the rules of it by inadvertently promoting the prequel.... Oh, well, at least I had fun writing it :p )
