>"We need to find a guard pony! They can help!"
-
11.
It was the day of the Fillies & Foals Festival in Canterlot and a set of frantic parents were desperate for aid. The sprawling carnival was a maze of distractions for any young foal and this family had become separated. After a frantic few minutes of searching for their daughter they forced themselves to calm down and get control of the situation.
-
12.
>"We need help...find a guard! Where is a guard pony?"
-
13.
-
14.
A few helpful locals guided them to a Royal Guard on patrol...a Sergeant no less. Surely she would know how to find their daughter.
-
15.
>"Ma'am, Sergeant, please, we've become separated from our daughter.
-
16.
>"I'm sure she just got distracted and wandered off.
-
17.
>"We're not from Canterlot...we took the train from Rainbow Falls, she doesn't know her way around."
-
18.
>"She'll be scared, she doesn't even know the way back to our hotel."
-
19.
-
20.
The guardsmare spoke with a confident calmness that put the couple at ease instantly.
-
21.
>"Okay, take a deep breath folks, I'm sure she's fine.
-
22.
>"Just give me a description and a name.
-
23.
The relieved parents provided everything she needed;
-
24.
>"Of course. Filly, 10 years old, about this high, yellow coat with a blue mane."
-
25.
The mother added;
-
26.
>"And socks, she has white socks."
-
27.
The guardsmare wanted to get all the details right.
-
28.
>"Socks in her fur coloration, or is she wearing socks?"
-
29.
>"Her fur...they're natural."
-
30.
>"Gets them from her grandmare."
-
31.
The Sergeant committed each detail to memory.
-
32.
>"And her name?"
-
33.
>"Oh, Honeysuckle Rose."
-
34.
Seemed redundant to name your kid after two flowers but Sgt. Docks didn't judge.
-
35.
>"No middle name?"
-
36.
The parents shook their heads.
-
37.
>"That's a shame, works better with a middle name."
-
38.
The parents were puzzled.
-
39.
-
40.
>"Alright, I can have this description to every Royal Guard post and E.U.P. garrison in the city in just a few minutes but I find it's best to try a simple announcement first."
-
41.
-
42.
Sergeant Docks climbed up into a raised guard post that had a large conical loudspeaker for amplifying voice. She cleared her throat and made the announcement in a booming voice that drowned out the music and laughter of the festival:
-
43.
-
44.
>"HONEY-SUCKLE ROSE!
-
45.
>"You get your 10 year old behind over here THIS INSTANT!
-
46.
>"You have got your parents WORRIED SICK!
-
47.
>"Do you know how dangerous it is to wander off in a crowd, young filly?
-
48.
>"I've got a good mind to loan your Mommy & Daddy the paddle we use to spank criminals!
-
49.
>"Do you want that, little mare?
-
50.
>"Well that's exactly what's gonna happen if you are not FRONT AND CENTER in 5...4...3...2..."
-
51.
-
52.
A panting filly burst out of the crowd and came to a sliding stop at the foot of Sergeant Docks' guard post.
-
53.
>"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I got lost!"
-
54.
>"Yellow coat, blue mane, no cutie mark yet...you must be Honeysuckle Rose. Your folks are looking for you."
-
55.
She scampered over to her equally horrified parents, who scooped her up into the safety of a family hug.
-
56.
>"T-T-Thank you...Sergeant."
-
57.
Roxy gave them a nod and a quick wink.
-
58.
>"The Royal Guard is always at your service, folks. Enjoy the festival!"
-
59.
-
60.
She made a neat about-face (difficult with 4 legs) and went about her patrol, whistling a tune and leaving the bewildered family of tourists dumbstruck.

>I feel bad for the filly in some ways too.
-
67.
Oh, definitely. She's already terrified at being lost from her parents in a strange city...now some loony guardsmare is screaming at her about paddles. Lucky she didn't piss herself.
-

>the Sergeant was just bluffing
-
70.
Not so much bluffing as, crazy as a shithouse rat. The way I imagine Sgt. Roxy, she does outrageous, unexpected things but to her they seem perfectly logical.
-

>spanker mascot
-
73.
I never even considered a physical appearance for her. Standard white w/blue mane guard seems kinda generic.
