((Sorry to minimod, but I believe Celestia's already being roleplayed by someone else, as is Luna. ^^))
Mayor Mare paused in her walk when she saw that ponies around her seemed to be avoiding a certain spot a few feet away. Curious, and wanting to ensure that there was nothing wrong, she trotted towards the area. The first thing she saw, when she reached it, was a pegasus (Night Flare?) - stark against the usually bright, pale coats of the others, her jet-black pelt stood out like a sore hoof. Her bright red mane completed the look, and she wondered how Canterlotians would react to seeing her. Either they would scream in terror, or find the different look to be refreshing.
The second thing was the golden retriever beside her, larger than the Mayor herself. That, she believed, was probably what everypony was trying to skirt around. She realised she was staring; she cringed almost imperceptibly, before speaking. "Good morning... Moon Flare, is it?" Though she tried her best to memorise the names of every citizen of Ponyville, this pegasus seldom spoke up, meaning she was barely aware of her existence.
