Pony Express: Friendship is Cultural Exchange! Wednesday, period 1
Class met up outside Portalocity, where their extremely pink, extremely excitable teacher was pacing rapidly back and forth. "Hihihi everypony!" she greeted at high speed when it seemed like everypony had arrived (and maybe she rushed off and pushed the last student into line if they seemed to be taking too long). "I'm Pinkie Pie, your guide on this wonderful amazingest field trip class toooooooo --" No, you can't figure out where that drumroll is coming from. "-- EQUESTRIA!" Pinkie threw her front hooves into the air in an explosion of confetti.
Get used to that, kids, it'll be happening a lot.
"Now, I know the first week is usually all about introductions and all but that's pretty boring and I already know mooooooooooost of you, so we're going to get right on to it," Pinkie said, as she led the class through the portal that managed to appear just behind her, right on schedule, and somehow also actually led to where they were actually planning to go. "And you can introduce yourselves to each other while you introduce yourselves to some of my very bestest pony friends in my hometown," and somehow she'd managed to time the line moving through the portal so that the last student should hopefully step out onto the bright yellow path through bright green grass just as she said "PONYVILLE!"
Did you guess there'd be more confetti when she said that? YOU WERE RIGHT! HURRAY!
"Look out!" somepony shouted from above them, and a grey, blonde, cross-eyed pegasus went careening by, buzzing just over the students' heads. (You all had your brains broken already by now, right? Er. Sorry new kids, you're getting tossed into the deep end.) A blue pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail flapped above them, face-hooving. "Sorry about that!"
"Sorry," agreed the grey pony sheepishly, and she rose back into the air much more slowly than she'd come down.
Pinkie waved, unperturbed. "Hi Derpy! Hi Rainbow Dash!"
"This is your class, huh, Pinkie?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Yuppers!" Pinkie put her hoof in her mouth and let out a piercing whistle. "And we're already behind schedule. Hop-to, everypony! We've got a very special somepony waiting for us!" And she led the way through the quaint little vaguely-Elizabethan styled town towards a large tree with doors, windows, and balconies on it. She waved to everypony they passed, greeting many of them by name, a process that happened fast enough that all the syllables ran together into a nigh indecipherable mess.
She was clearly in a bit of a hurry.
"Here we are!" she finally announced as she reached the door in the tree. "Golden Oak Library, home of my very specialst purple unicorn friend, Twilight Sparkle!"
Confetti.
As advertised, when the confetti cleared a purple unicorn stood before them, puffing confetti out of her bangs with a slightly irritated frown. She blinked once when she spotted the students and smiled brightly. "Hi there," she said, her voice just as warm and cheerful as Pinkie's, but turned down on the squeakiness by several thousand degrees. "I'm Twilight Sparkle, personal student to Princess Celestia, and one of Pinkie's best friends. I'm here to help answer any questions you may have about Equestria's history or the variety of creatures who live here. It's very nice to meet all of you."
"Psst," Pinkie hissed, elbowing the nearest student. Because ponies have elbows. "That's your cue to introduce yourselves!"
At least it was maybe reassuring to note that even Twilight's smile seemed slightly strained by Pinkie's antics.
She was going to be cleaning confetti out of her books forever.
Get used to that, kids, it'll be happening a lot.

Re: Introductions!
The fact that there was confetti in her hair (and on her stuffed giraffe) and talking ponies everywhere just made the whole travel thing even better.
Re: Introductions!
"I am about friendship!" Pinkie said proudly. "Hi Alluka! What's your giraffe's name?"
