* TitleDrop: The ending.

On the bright side though, a new recruit has just arrived, putting an end to her status as ‘’the new girl’’, while giving her a new and inexperienced partner to show around.

But given the circumstances, Princess Luna takes pity on Trixie and offers her a way out, if she joins the Lunar Guard. Six months later, Private Trixie Lulamoon is the second lowest ranking out of half a dozen ponies stationed in the small and remote post of Camp Driftwood, on the small and remote island community of Wash Margin, where she miserably awaits the end of her tour, in another three and half years with nothing to do, but march from one side of the island to the other and occasionally take care of the town drunk for the night.
