After Twilight and Shepherd get their heartbeats to a normal rate...

Pinkie: "So wait, ponies and humans have mixed DNA? Hmmm! I guess that might explain why we went from this," suddenly resembles a G1 pony, "to this!" Resembles a G3 Pony "And finally this!" Back to normal!

Shepherd: "For the love of God, NEVER DO THAT AGAIN. EVER."

Pinkie: "Sorry!"

Twilight: "Sorry your body wouldn't accept the magic cloud walking spell, Shepherd! I'm working on it, don't you worry!"

Shepherd: In the balloon "I'm all right! Just keep me anchored, please."

Twilight: "Don't worry dear! You'll be fine!"

Cue the Sonic Rainbow!

While everypony else is cheering... Shepherd is blown away in the hot air balloon.

Twilight: "OH WOW RAINBOW DASH THAT WAS SO AMAZING AND-Oh dear where is Shepherd?! WHERE IS MY BALLOON?!"

Zephyr: "COME ON YOU HUMAN MOTHER BUCKER! COME ON!"

Shepherd: "... We're not doing this."

Zephyr: "Wha-COME ON! FIGHT ME!"

Shepherd: "You're holding your spear wrong. I'm not fighting you."

Zephyr: "What are you, scared?!"

Shepherd: "That's... Not the word I would choose, no."

Zephyr: "WELL COME ON THEN! FIGHT ME!"

Dash: "Zephyr, come on! I'm happy! Very happy! Don't do this!"

Zephyr: "I must! I love you too much to let you go!"

Dash: "By embarrassing me?! Really?!"

Chewie: growl?

Shepherd: "No Chewie, you can't eat him. You don't know where he's been."

Chewie: Snorts.

Dash: "Okay okay! Hang on! Time out! Give me a second here, okay?"

Shepherd: "Okay."

Zephyr: "Anything you want, Dashie!"

She flies off, and brings back Fluttershy in a few minutes.

Shepherd: "Look Fluttershy, I really don't want to hurt your brother but-"

Fluttershy: "It's okay. I know you won't kill him."

Shepherd: "I-Seriously?"

As Zephyr is licking some frosting out of his mane before putting it back into a man bun...

Zephyr: "Heyyyy! You're that human, right? Sheepherder or something?"

Shepherd: "... Shepherd, and yes. You are?"

Zephyr: "I'm Fluttershy's big brother, Zephyr Breeze! Great to meet you!"

Fluttershy: "He's my younger brother, um, actually."

Shepherd comes back to Ponyville, and makes a stop by Fluttershy's place. Rainbow Dash is waiting outside the cottage too. She looks up and smiles

Dash: "Hey Shepherd! What brings you here?"

Shepherd: "Just wanted to drop in on Fluttershy. What are you waiting for?"

Dash: "Well, she asked me to wait out here. Weird, huh?"

Shepherd: nods "Maybe just a bit."

They waited in silence for a few moments.

Shepherd is checking through his mail.

Shepherd: "Let's see... Junk, junk, junk, junk, junk... Charity request... Junk... Junk... Charity request... Eh? Ticket?"

He opens the gold pressed envelope and pulls out a golden ticket and a letter.

Shepherd: "Let's see... 'Dear Ser Shepherd, you are cordially invited to the Grand Galloping Gala. Here is a ticket. You are encouraged to have an escort-.' Ugh. High society ball?"

I am thinking of Shepherd having his own crazy button. Much like the rest of the Mane 6. One button that once pressed and now that his main issues are solved, he's bound to go a bit... Nuts.

Celestia: "You see, much of the world is unexplored still. There are reaches of the planet that are unknown to us. And indeed, you might need to go out into the world and go on-"

Shepherd: "Ad... Adventures?"

Celestia: smiles "Yes."

Shepherd: Is just chilling out at a cafe, sipping a smoothie

Dash: Zips up to him "Shepherd!"

Shepherd: "GAH!" He's shoved over onto his back "Seriously?!"

Dash: "Well sorry, but I need your help!"

Shepherd: sigh "How many bodies do I have to bury?"

Dash: "Wha-NO! That's so weird and creepy!"

Shepherd: "Off the top of my head. What is it?"

Dash: "I need you to pretend to be my coltfriend."

Shepherd: "I-Wha?! Why?!"

Conversely, the Mysterious Mare-Do-Well episode might go a little differently.

Shepherd: sighs "Seriously? You're going to dress up as superheroes to put Dash in her place?"

Twilight: "She is getting really full of herself."

Pinkie: "I mean, even for me! I love her to death but wow! All that bragging!"

Shepherd: "Look, I know she's gone a little overboard lately but that's no reason to put together a zany scheme!"

Pinkie: "It isn't?"

Of course being a Knight of Equestria, sometimes Shepherd gets called in for... Unconventional problems.

Shepherd: "You seriously called me all the way up here... Because you got stuck in your bathtub?"

Celestia: "Nngh! It's a prank of Luna's-She won't undo it-Get me out of here, please Shepherd!"

Shepherd: "Once again: You called me up here, for this? I'm a human! I'm not some super powered alicorn who can't even get out of the tub!"

Twilight was once again doing some research on Shepherd, and analyzing the data from her sensors attached to him. Shepherd was working very hard on staying patient.

Shepherd: sigh "... Twilight-"

Twilight: "Not yet... I'm not finished..."

Shepherd: "I am."

Twilight: "Not yet!"

Shepherd: "I'm going to pull off the sensors-"

Twilight: "Just a second! And... Done!"

She beams at him.

Shepherd: "Okay... And your conclusion is...?"

Shepherd is studying in the library. This isn't surprising. But what is surprising to Twilight is who he's studying with-Pinkie Pie!

Shepherd: "So, there is a similar mass extinction cycle in this planet's natural history?"

Pinkie: "Looks like! Maud's been doing research into it! And it's nice to meet another person who can understand what she's talking about!"

After the Mysterious Mare-Do-Well incident, Shepherd is scolding Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Rarity.

Shepherd: "Okay... Seriously girls? You staged this elaborate hoax just to take Rainbow Dash down a peg? Come on!"

Twilight: "Well, I mean, it wasn't just that. We did save the town several times!"

Shepherd: scowl

Applejack: "And we did save a lot of folks from death!"

Shepherd: scowl

Shepherd: "So... What are we doing on our date, Rainbow Dash?"

Dash: "Ah... Well, ya know, dates are stupid and romantic and junk. So you just make the decisions there. You want to do mushy stuff and all."

Shepherd: "Okay. How does a trip up to Cloudsdale to the Wonderbolts museum, then dinner at the Skyview Cloud?"

Dash: "Yeah, sure, that sounds pretty okay. I'll need some girly clothes. What do you like?"

Shepherd goes into another vault. He sighs in relief. Twilight blinks, and looks over his shoulder.

Twilight: "What? What is it?"

Shepherd: "Oh, it's just a prop from a video game. I was actually a fan of it."

He reached down and picked it up, turning it around in his hands.

Twilight: "What kind of game?"

Back in the human archives, Shepherd is once again going around and checking vaults. Twilight Sparkle is trotting alongside him.

Twilight: "Okay... So that ghost was a bit troublesome. But that doesn't mean every human artifact is going to be trouble! That's statistically improbable!"

Shepherd: "I don't know why, but being human might just throw it all off."

Button Mash and Shepherd are playing a fighting game in the young colt's room.

Shepherd: "Ha! Combos upon combos!"

Button: "Urgh! Take this!"

Shepherd: "Weak! Foalish foal! You are but the learner, I am the master."

Console: Game Over! Player 2 wins!

Button groans.

Button: "How'd you do that?"

Shepherd: "Age and treachery will always beat youth and vigor, my dear lad. Want to try another round?"

Button: "Yeah!"

Cream Heart trots in with a plate of cookies.

Shining: "Shepherd? I need a foalsitter."

Shepherd: sighs "Shining, dude. Please tell me you didn't bring me all the way here to the Crystal Empire just to babysit the toddler goddess."

Shining: "Not... Just that."

Shepherd: "Shining-"

Shining: "Please? You are literally the only sitter she likes! Or won't turn inside out with magic!"
