"Where are my balls, Twilight?"

Spike the Puppy has some questions now that he can speak.

The Royal Guard is an elite force culled from the very best and brightest that Equestria has to offer.
Not convinced? Well neither are the fillies of Ponyville. Thus, the Guard has dispatched its finest troops to show Ponyville Elementary just how competent the Royal Guard can be!

Celestia help them all.

(Rated teen because this story is not mature in the slightest.)

Home on winter break from her first year at Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, Twilight Sparkle decides that she is old enough to go present shopping all by herself... with her brother.
