Model United Nations, Wednesday, period 1

[locointhecoco]

The classroom didn't look like anything really special yet. The chairs were all arranged around in a wide circle, so that everypony could face everypony else, and each desk had a nice little blank name-plate and empty flag holder, all ready for the students to come and fill with their hopes, dreams, names, and knowledge of whatever country they've chosen to represent. Pinkie's desk already had "Pinkie Pie: Equestria" written on the name plate, and a tiny little Equestrian flag flying proudly. She waited patiently -- well, as patient as a manic pink party pony can be anyway, which isn't very -- while the students shuffled in and took their seats.

"Welcome, everypony to Model United Nations, the class all about working together to support each other and to solve the problems of the multiverse! We're going to get started with an easy problem for you, today: we can't start solving the multiverse's problems through teamwork and friendship until we know who everypony is! As the representative of Equestria and the official Grand Poo-Bah of this Model United Nations --" Shut up, the facilitator was TOTALLY the Grand Poo-Bah, "-- I would like to propose that we solve this problem by introducing ourselves and picking which country, nation, or otherwise independently governed geographical or metaphysical region we're representing! All those in favor, say 'yippeee!'"

You'd best yippeee, or this Grand Poo-Bah was going to make an executive order and make you all follow her suggestion, anyway. In the spirit of teamwork and friendship, of course.

"Oooo, and then we can all make flags. I brought crayons and glitter!"

Hopes, dreams, names, knowledge of whatever country they'd chosen to represent, and glitter. These were the foundations of multiverse peace.

"I'm Petra West," Petra said, "and I'll be representing the United States of Girls. I picked it because I believe very much in forwarding the interests of girls everywhere, such as reproductive rights, equal pay, and eyeliner that's not a pain in the ass to apply and doesn't smudge all over the place. I hope that in this class we'll accomplish some awesome things for girls. And guys, too," she added. "I just won't be representing them."

"Ooo, good choice! I love girls!" Pinkie said, completely innocently. "All my bestest friends back home are girls. I bet you'll do an amazingly fantastic job, this semester!"

"It's an honor to represent girls," Petra said, "and I hope I'll live up to it."

"What about better representation in the media?" Maeby asked. "I'm so sick of girls being the love interest and movies about girls being categorized as 'chick flicks.'"

As much as she cared about anything, that was.

"That's absolutely a concern the United States of Girls will work to see addressed," Petra agreed.

"The Moon's been thinking about opening a film studio," Maeby shared. "We'd be interested in discussing projects with the United States of Girls. Especially if eyeliner isn't mandatory."
