>A guard rushes into Celestias Throne room and yells "A message from the border of the Crystal Kingdom!"
>Celestia gasps in shock. Its much too early for the kingdom to have reappeared!
>Putting on her game face, Celestia addresses the guard. "What does it say?"
>The guard bows before her.
>Pulling the scrolls out of his pack he reads the it out loud. "Running low on food. No city has appeared but there is a giant hairless monkey like creature. He keeps stealing my food, using up all the firewood and trying to pet me."
>The guard refurls the scroll and looks up at Celestia with a raised eyebrow.
>Celestia shrugs. "How much longer is that guard stationed at the crystal post?"
>The guard thinks for a moment. "I believe another month your highness."
>Celestia sighs. "Teleport him a board game or something....he's probably just stir crazy......maybe send him some fancy hats too. Everyone loves hats."
>Guard salutes and marches off.
>Turning to her Steward, Celestia says. "Make a note...check the budget to see if there any room to send more guards to the crystal border."
>The steward nods and notes it in her little booklet.
>That afternoon at the Crystal Kingdom border.
Anon opens the box that just appeared in front of him and his new guard friend. "Sweet! Boggle and sombreros!"
>The twitchy sleep deprived border guard looks over the box. "No new orders? Not even a letter?"
Anon shakes his head and puts on a sombrero. "Nope but there's a poster."
>Anon grabs a tack and slaps it to the wall.
>The guard looks at the poor kitty desperately hanging on to a tree branch. With a depressed expression he reads the motivational poster. "Hang in there?"
