Hello there, I'm finally back! I'm so sorry for taking all this time since my last artwork. I was fully focused in another project and I wanted to rest a little bit of making art.
Anyways. I realized that in my list of pending characters to draw, those two where without a doubt up there, then I decided to draw both at the same time. The scene had a lot of sense in my mind. Sunburst is a shy pony that could "accidentally" be there to receive an "interesting shipping" from Gabby, who probably misunderstood a little bit what "discreet delivery" meant (or maybe simply Sunburst forgot to check that option in the official website during purchase, who knows). I think the situation looks pretty realistic (in the context of the show of course) and I just hope that no creature is close to the school entrance during this embarrassing event involving one of the most important ponies of the school... Or maybe he could explain that the diapers are part of a friendship lesson.
I have to say that drawing Gabby was pretty challenging, she has a lot of details and her wings are really hard to draw. I'm not 100% convinced with the final result, but I still like it pretty much. In the other hoof, Sunburst was easy to draw as well as his expression, which is perfect in my opinion. I'm not sure either if the background is as good as it could be, but I really put a lot of effort on it and I hope you appreciate it... Sadly I'm not good drawing trees... But what do you think? Is the scene cute, nice and silly?

This is a work of art that I have been wanting to see for a very long time. There is not much padded art done with gabby. There are even fewer stories about the mail delivery griffon who just cannot help spreading 'Griffony sunshine' everywhere she goes.
What, to me, increases the cuteness of this image is your inclusion of Sunburst. I do not know many, if any, postings that put these two together. Now, thanks to you, we have two characters that could very easily be found sharing such an adorable experience!
***
A fun coincidence is how one of my current story commissions is actually a story where Gabby Griffon flies to The Crystal Empire. Hear she gets to meet Flurry heart for some special fun with Spike, Shining Armor, and cadence.
As I have been writing this story, I thought of how Sunburst could very well find himself looking to get his hooves on some adult foal diapers. He, like Starlight Glimmer, has a childhood that was prematurely ended by how his family sent him off to 'Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns'.
***
I originally thought that Starlight Glimmer would be the most likely pony to want to reclaim her childhood. Now I am really seeing how Sunburst would, likely, be an adult foal, too!
***
Considering the story commission I am about finished with, I really wish I had decided to treat myself to viewing your posts a whole lot sooner. The reason being that I needed to have a reason for Gabby Griffon to fly up to The Crystal Empire to meet up with Flurry Heart. I made this reason being a package that Starlight Glimmer wanted to be sent to him. Gabby got the job due to Derpy forgetting that the package was to be delivered 'Same Day Air'. Now it is Gabby's job to fly the late package to Sunburst.
***
I could have very easily made the story, which I started a few weeks ago, go with this great image that you created. This is, sadly, not possible due to how the story is at its end and the package from Starlight that is talked about in the story is a copy of Dragon Pit for 'The Royal Crystaler' to play with Flurry Heart before he moves to Ponyville to help Starlight operate 'The School of Friendship'.
***
If you would be interested, I would like to kind of make a sequel to my current story that can take advantage of this cute work of art you have shared. Especially since, thanks to you, I see how sunburst and Starlight are 'two sides of the same bit' when it comes to how their childhood trauma impacted them.

Hehe I know you were going to like this drawing featuring Gabby Yosh. She is a really nice and cute gryphon that you probably would love to include in all the stories you write hehe. I'm so sorry that I wasn't able to inspire you story earlier, but sure, feel free to use whatever inspires you from the picture to write a sequel or another story, but, please remember to put first the things that are 100% priority for your life, so if someone else is commissioning you, please attend them first. It would be really nice a story of Gabby visiting the Crystal Empire for a delivery including baby stuff, it could generate a lot of interesting situations if you ask to me. For example, just a delivery for Flurry, a delivery for other pony, but they try to hide it as a delivery for Flurry. Simply a lot of ideas that could get out from this simple situation.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to comment my submissions Yosh. I'll try to take the time to check yours soon too. I've been busy doing some stuff, especially studying for my written tests for the public contest of teachers.

Thank you, Sweetie. I just finished the commission story that features both Gabby and Flurry Heart. Your artwork helped me to shape the way the story ended so I am now able to, upon catching up on all my commissions, look forward to making a fun sequel that uses this picture to share a adorable moment between Gabby and Sunburst. (The tale shall also let me expand on how, given her history with a broken childhood / childhood trauma, Starlight Glimmer is trying to help Sunburst findhis 'inner foal'.).

Never worry about when, or if, you get to any of my posts. Mine are far more time consuming to enjoy due to how they are, quite often, stories that take a notable time investment to go through.
If there is a particular type of story you would most like to read, I can direct you to more specific posts that would be worth your time investment in which I have uploaded. :)
Once the commissioner verifies their full approval fo the story's 'Final Draft', I will be sharing it here for you and others to enjoy the happy adventures of Gabby making her first trip to 'The Crystal Empire'.

LONG AWAITED STORY:
Every pony had either gone to rest in their dormatory rooms, or head home, after a long day of friendship lessons within Princess Twilight Sparkle's world-renowned 'School of Friendship'. Another semester of school, which now hosted even more creatures from nations beyond Equestria, had just gotten underway. However, unlike previous semesters, Princess Twilight Sparkle was no longer acting as the prestigious institution's 'Head Mare'. That role was now held by Twilight's first 'Student of Friendship', Starlight Glimmer.
***
As the school was starting to experience a growing amount of requests from interested students from Mount Aris, Seaquestria, Griffonstone, Yakyakistan, and many others to be enrolled in the first school of its kind in all the world, Starlight Glimmer knew she had a lot of work on her hooves. It is for this reason that, with Twilight's approval, she asked her childhood friend, Sunburst, to work as 'Vice Head Mare' while the first real friend she made since childhood, Trixie Lullamoon, took over Starlight's previous position of 'School Counselor'.
***
As the former 'Royal Crystaler' to the royal family of The Crystal Empire, Sunburst felt as ready as any pony could be to assist Starlight in ensuring 'The School of Friendship' continued to prove itself to be a place to build even stronger relationships with the many nations and creatures of the world. However, the nearly endless important meetings he had to prepare for, facilitate, participate, and evaluate with regard to the growing list of applicants, first moon students, current students, and preparing those students in completing their final semester projects was quickly taking a toll on his mental health.
***
On this particular, sleepless night that the bespectacled, orange Unicorn could not free his mind from all the stress and anxiety he felt put under, he found himself wishing he could go back to the days when he was far more free to do what he wanted to do without the looming fear of failing all those who counted on him to do nothing short of his best each and every day. This made him remember the time he visited Starlight while he was still employed as 'Royal Crystaler' and caretaker for foal Princess Flurry Heart. It was during this trip that Starlight spared no expense in trying to, quite literally, relive their childhood.
***
The more Sunburst thought about how carefree Flurry Heart was along with how it felt when Starlight succeeded in casting a very powerful age spell just so they could truly play their favorite game from childhood, 'Dragon Pit', as they looked and sounded as foals got his mind to fill with thoughts of how spending some time as a foal may actually be just what he needed to cope with all the stress he was struggling to push past towards performing his responsibilities as Starlight's 'Vice Head Mare'.
***
With all the nations having come together after the defeat of Tirek, Queen Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow, advancements in science and technology began to happen at an exponential rate. One such step forward through the merging of magic and science was the 'Worldwide Communications Network[/i]'. It used a specialized typewriter that was connected to an enchanted piece of reflective crystal. This crystal allowed the one using the specialized typewriter to interact with aall other active other WWCN systems many times faster than if they had tried to do so through using the post office.
***
Sunburst now found himself sitting in front of his personal WWCN system in search of something that he had heard about while walking about 'The School of Friendship'. This being a community of creatures who had managed to use the WWCN to share information, provide support, and offer those who were interested ways in which to "Feel like a foal again!".
Sunburst was now at the moment of truth. Knowing he was no good as Vice Head Mare if he was not of both sound mind and body, he entered his information, made a few selections from a sequence of menus, and committed himself to arrange for a Cash on Delivery (COD) of what he knew would help him to find relief from the anxiety that caused him to have so many sleepless nights...

Really nice start Yosh. I liked how you linked several canon elements which has a lot of sense together. It has a lot of sense Sunburst would face some first time stress during this experience of co-leading a whole school. Reminding those experiences related to foaldhood he would of course find some relaxation thinking in returning to that age at least for a short while.
I am very happy you liked how this part of the story turned out. It did not seem proper to write the story in a way that did not take the time to explain how and why Sunburst may find himself looking to regain some relaxation from the less stressful times he knows he must have had as a foal. (His mother seems like the kind of parent who, like my father IRL, was very forceful in making her son do and grow-up to become what 'she' wanted without giving Sunburst a lot of opportunity to feel proud of what he enjoyed to do in life. However, as the way our brains store memories changes around reaching 3 years of age, I believe that Sunburst would like to believe his mom was not quite so harsh on him when he was still a diaper dependant foal.).

I was trying to finish this story on both Saturday and Sunday. Unfortunately other responsibilities got in the way. If no major RL objective is required today, I will be writing the final part of the story today. I hope that you like it. :)

Okay! Here we go with the story's conclusion!
***
Sunburst was nervously trotting outside of 'The School of Friendship'.
"When is that delivery pony going to get here," he asked himself while using his magic to pull out a pocket watch to check what time it was. "My package should have been delivered to this exact location over an hour ago, my lunch break has just ended, and I'm running late for another student intake meeting."
TING-POOF!
"Ah!" the orange-coated Unicorn panicked upon seeing Starlight Glimmer suddenly appearing right before his eyes. "Starlight! I, I can explain. I..."
The Lavendar-colored Unicorn looked towards her childhood friend with genuine concern.
"Is everything alright, Sunburst?" she asked while closing the distance between herself and her bespectacled colleague. "I know you've been under as much pressure as I've been in ensuring Twilight's school continues to attract, teach, and graduate students from all over the world in the fundamentals of friendship has more than proven to be quite the overwhelming task."
Sunburst blushed as he looked down towards the ground and scraped his hoof in place.
"I'm fine," he replied with a sigh. "I'm just trying some relaxation techniques that Trixie recommended I do to not seem so stressed all the time."
Starlight gently placed her hoof under her Vice Head Mare's chin and lifted his head up to get a better look at his nonverbal, facial expressions to see how much they supported his previous statement.
"We may be different in many ways since we knew each other as foals," she softly stated while maintaining direct eye contact with Sunburst. "However, I know we both still don't do all that well when put under a lot of pressure."
The goateed Unicorn waited for Starlight to remove her hoof from under his head before sharing his reply.
"I know I look like Tartarus," he said. "That is why I got myself caught up in the relaxation technique that Trixie recommended. I, uh, guess it must be working if I lost track of time so easily."
Starlight could tell that her robe-wearing colleague was not telling her the whole truth about what was bothering him. However, as she had come to learn during her time in her role as School Counselor, , forcing him to be fully transparent about his feelings would only make him less likely to open up to her about what was truly on his mind.
"I'm glad Trixie could help," she said with a smile. "The next student intake meeting is for a griffon and, well, there really isn't much we need to do to convince Grandpa Gruff that our school is the best place for another of Griffonstone's youngsters."
"...," Sunburst seemed to relax as he understood what Starlight was trying to tell him.
"Anyway," she added while taking a few hoof steps away from her friend and lighting her horn with magic. "Take the next fifteen minutes to relax while knowing everything is under control between me, Grandpa Gruff, and the next Griffon to follow in all that Gallus has proven can be learned while attending 'The School of Friendship'."
SHING
POOF!
Sunburst felt his cheeks warm with a blush as he checked his pocket watch again.
"Nothing against Ponyville's mail carriers," he spoke nervously to himself. "But I did pay extra to have this delivery made on time and in a way that did not draw attention to me by any creature during my lunch break."
"SPECIAL DELIVERY!" a cheerful voice chirped from directly above the royal-blue robe wearing Unicorn.
FWOOSH!
PIFF-PAFF
FLA-AP-LAP-FLAP!
"Just as requested!" cheered Gabby the griffon as she made, what seemed to Sunburst, as much noise coming down to greet him as the entire Canterlot Symphony Orchestra. "This is my first super-secret special order and I'm so-so excited that I was able to knock it out of the park on my very first try!"
"...," the tangerine-colored Unicorn felt frozen in place as his jaw hung open out of the pure shock of how Gabby was far from following the delivery notes he had left about what he had ordered being delivered.
"Oh!" the arctic-blue colored mail griffonchirped while putting her hand over her beak. "Sorry. I just was really excited to do one of these orders and, well, uh... Sign here please."
Sunburst felt himself start to sweat as the soft, pink blush on his face had now turned into one that was beet red.
"...," he could not bring himself to speak as he looked at the clipboard that was being presented to him to sign.

It was now Gabby's turn to blushas she removed a large, cardboard box from her mail delivery satchel that showed signs that it had not been handled with care.
"Normally we kindly ask for a tip for this level of service," she said nervously while placing the partially opened box in front of Sunburst. "However, it was a bit, uh, damaged by the time it reached the Griffonstone Post Office and, well, I got a wee bit curious and, uh, umm, I'll personally pay half of what you were to pay me for the COD if you can forgive a friendly mail griffon for making a bit of an oopsie in delivering these items to you."
FYOO
POOF!
Sunburst wasted no time in teleporting his not-so top secret package to his office within 'The School of Friendship'.
FYOO
SCHLIP-JINGLE
KA-CHING
Gabby's blush intensified as a small bag of bits was moved from Sunburst's robes and placed within her hand.
"Just take it and go," he grumbled. "Tell nobody and we'll call it even."
FYOO-POOF!
The happy-go-lucky, delivery griffon was now the one frozen in place with her beak hanging open as she fidgeted with the bag of bits that had been levitated into her hand.
"O-kay...," she said to nobody in particular since Sunburst had teleported himself away before she could say a single word. She then stowed away her delivery clipboard, secured her mail satchel, and took flight back towards Ponyville's post office to conti8nue her duties as a delivery griffon.
***
POOF!
Sunburst finished his teleportation spell just as Gabby had flown off from 'The School of Friendship'. However...
"Sunburst," Head Mare, Starlight said as she avoided making eye contact with her childhood friend. "I think we, uh, may need to talk after our meeting."
KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK
"...," Sunburst gasped and could barely draw in a breath as he saw how his rush to hide away his delivery had resulted in it landing right on top of the lavender-colored Unicorn's desk instead of in his private office.
The embarrassed, Vice Head Mare was too caught up in how he had made a terrible miscalculation that he failed to see his childhood friend grinning from ear-to-ear as a blush formed upon her face. In her hooves, Starlight Glimmer was holding an adult-sized, foal diaper that was covered in colorful prints that represented the artwork found on the box and game board of their favorite game from childhood, Dragon Pit.
"HEY!" bellowed Grandpa Gruff from the other side of the door. "I AIN'T GOT ALL DAY, YA' KNOW!"
FYOO
PUFF
POOF
Starlight used her magic to make the full box of adult-sized diapers, along with the one she had been inspecting, disappear.
"We'll talk about this later," she said with a wink towards her bashful colleague. "It's open, Grandpa Gruff!"
CA-CLICK!
The elderly griffon's impatience and temper did well to hide and distract the childhood friends from the proverbial "Elephant in the Room" as they went about helping their latest griffon student, Gayane, get all she needed to be a part of the following semester's classes within 'The School of Friendship'.

In her hooves, Starlight Glimmer was holding an adult-sized, foal diaper that was covered in colorful prints that represented the artwork found on the box and game board of their favorite game from childhood, Dragon Pit.
"HEY!" bellowed Grandpa Gruff from the other side of the door. "I AIN'T GOT ALL DAY, YA' KNOW!"
FYOO
PUFF
POOF
Starlight used her magic to make the full box of adult-sized diapers, along with the one she had been inspecting, disappear.
"We'll talk about this later," she said with a wink towards her bashful colleague. "It's open, Grandpa Gruff!"
CA-CLICK!
The elderly griffon's impatience and temper did well to hide and distract the childhood friends from the proverbial "Elephant in the Room" as they went about helping their latest griffon student, Gayane, get all she needed to be a part of the following semester's classes within 'The School of Friendship'.
Hehe I liked the end of the story. It fits pretty well with my artwork without a doubt. I think the way those two ponies manage the school is pretty accurate to what I was imagining hehe. I always love reading about those slice of life situations. Gabby also seemed to act exactly as she would hehe. I imagine her talking with one of their bosses in the office who decided, against all their smart thoughts, that assigning this delivery to her was a good idea. She probably was so excited when she realized she was selected for one of those extra special, extra secret and extra fast deliveries that she even ignored all the main instructions about how to do that.
Really nice story Yosh. I loved it, and I'm also pretty sure that Starlight said some nice things to Sunburst that night hehe.

*Holiday Hugs* I, too, , thought of how the one reading the story would have a very simple effort to imagine how the rest of the day would have transpired after Starlight and Sunburst finished with all their responsibilities for 'The School of Friendship'. I am certain Starlight could easily recast the spells she did on the two of them during, I think, An Uncommon Bond so they could forget all the stress they go through on a daily basis as they play a couple of games of Dragon Pit. Starlight may even decide, to prevent Sunburst from experiencing such an embarrassing moment with the mail service, use her magic to resize more affordable diapers meant for foals so they can both feel very cute while feeling comfortably protected from all the scary responsibilities that being grown-ups never seems to stop putting them through. (I imagine Starlight and Sunburst both have very valid reasons to want to be 'little' / Adult Foals. Starlight lost her best friend in a way that was not handled as well as her father, Fire Light, should have done to make sure his daughter did not feel so psychologically traumatized to where she ran away from home and created an entire village focused on how Cutie Marks ruined the lives of those who got them and everyone they may be friends with. Sunburst, on the other hoof, was expected to be such a great user of magic that his inability to meet the standards set forth by his mother, instructors, and colleagues caused him to develop very low self-esteem. Two 'Broken Childhoods' will, at least in real life, often cause someone to, without being aware of it, become Adult Foals / 'Littles').

I enjoy writing about Gabby Griffon. Her '"Griffony Sunshine" is so delightful to me. For this reason, I was very happy to see a possible relationship beginning to start between her and Spike. They are both such happy helpers, too.
