This story has Twilight when she was a unicorn, turning into one of Celestia’s royal guard. I hope you enjoy.

“I am proud to announce that “The History of the Royal Guard”, is now open to the public,” Celestia announced, cutting the ribbon amongst the cheers of ponies. Among them was the unicorn, Twilight Sparkle.
Since her brother became Captain of the Guard, Twilight read all she could about the history, but unfortunately she couldn’t see the amour from 500 years ago since most of it was destroyed or lost. Luckily, an archaeologist by the name of Dusty Ruins, found some ruins full of armour from Pre-Nightmare Moon to Post-Nightmare Moon.
It was an uphill battle from there as the Royal Guard wanted the amour back, to be used as materials, thankfully it was Celestia that decided to dedicate an entire section of a museum to house the priceless artifacts, with some modern amour as well, one of which was a helmet given by a pegasus who said that it belonged to his brother who died. The museum accepted it, but found no mentions of the guard who wore it, but concluded that the guard probably didn’t want his name shown to the world.
Twilight was beaming at the thought of seeing all of it, she could only imagine what they looked like. She went in with all the other ponies to see all the armour and weapons from the old days.
Twilight walked around the area, seeing all the armour from long past. Some of them was dented from years of use, while others were unmarked. She was rather impressed with what Celestia was able to keep up after so many centuries, and make sure that they were still intact. Also there was the design of them all, some were made of thicker metal, while others were made of thinner materials. Also the design and the colour of them differed between the ages, it was quite fascinating to see all this.
Soon she got to the helmet that belonged to the nameless pegasus soldier, it seemed to not be dented at all, and it was only the helmet. The helmet design fit that of a corporal, who would patrol towns, and were seen as the most friendly of the bunch, as they got to interact with ponies daily.
While Twilight was looking at it, an unicorn colt bumped into the display, causing the helmet to fall off. Twilight was able to catch it with her hooves, getting a small shock from it. She sighed in relief as it was not damaged and put it back on the display. She turned to scold the colt, but found that he was gone, most likely not wanting to be scolded by the older unicorn. She rolled her eyes at how rude the colt was and went on her way.
“Where do you think you are going without your helmet!?”
Twilight stopped as a gruff voice shouted at her, but when she tried to find the source of the voice, she found that nopony was around, at all; in fact the entire museum was empty, she began to freak out when the voice came again.
“Why are you standing around!? Get your helmet!”
Not wanting to anger the voice any longer, Twilight went to the display and grabbed the helmet. Although she didn’t know why, but it seemed that she wanted to put on the helmet, but there was no hole to but her horn through.
“Are you waiting for an invitation!? Put the helmet on!”
Twilight obliged the by putting on the helmet, her mane going through the top, giving her an almost mohawk look, although she didn’t know why. Last time she checked, Earth Ponies weren’t in the Royal Guard, which she found racist as she was an Earth Pony herself, and wanted to know why they weren’t allowed to join, but she was never given a solid answer.
“Since it took you so long to put on the helmet, I want 50 push ups from you!”
Twilight found herself on her stomach, doing what the voice told her. Her Earth Pony muscles equipped to do this type of thing, although she did feel just a bit weaker halfway through, not too noticeable, but enough to have her sweat a bit. After she was done, she stood up and wiped the sweat from her brow.
“Now I want you to do 50 wing ups!”
Twilight saluted, and once again went on the ground, using her pegasus wings to lift her body up, it wasn’t simple since pegasus wings were not the most sturdy part of the body, but it did help to keep her wings strong as there would be times where she would need to stay in the air for 5 hours straight, but it was a price to pay. She stood up with her wings to her side, she gained more sweat from the workout, but she did not wipe it off.
“Now, tell me if your mane and tail are the designated length!?”
Twilight answered that her mane and tail were indeed the right length, her blue mane and tail were always cut to perfection, it was important since if it was too long, a criminal would grab it and through the pony on the ground, to short and pony would be forced to grow it back, as it was seen as disrespectful to all the other ponies.
“And is your fur smooth!?”
Twilight once again confirmed it, her white fur was always combed to look smooth, as a tangle of fur could get things stuck to a pony, and it made the pony look unprofessional. She stood in her spot, she was ready to receive her orders as part of Celestia’s royal guard.
“Are you a stallion, or mare!”
He scoffed at that and confirmed that he was a stallion. Of course it was not to degrade the mares of the force, it was basically saying that the guards were ready to take on any challenge, besides he is friends with some of the mares, although some of them do hit on him. He did wonder about his name though, Twilight Sparkle, did his parents want a unicorn filly, and decided to give him that name. Although he did find it funny when he was called, and everypony stares at the muscled pegasus, and not a mare that they imagined.
“Than go out there and keep the city safe Corporal Thunder Head!”
Thunder Head saluted, and it was if the museum was full again as ponies began to go through. Thunder Head smiled as the ponies walked by, admiring the armour. He coldn’t help but feel pride as the ponies took interest at the job he and the fellow guards had to do. Sometimes the ponies would talk to him, which he would kindly reply, and if the conversation got too long, he would politely say that he has to do his work. He was known as the friendliest guard in all of the Royal Guard, but he was not afraid to discipline and attack ponies that were threats. Despite all that, the ponies loved him, and he loved his job. He couldn’t think of a better job than this.

Oh yeah, I saw this on dA, and was wondering if you were going to post it here. I think this is one of your better ones. As fine as it is, it could be better. (On that note, *anything* could be better, as perfection is nothing more than an ideal.) I look forward to more of your works in the future.
