Pony Express: Friendship is Cultural Exchange! Wednesday, period 1
"Hidey-ho, everypony!" Pinkie greeted as the students met up for class. "We're in for another treat this week! Which is easy because everywhere in Equestria is a treat! Today we're going to see another one of Equestria's great cities: Fillydelphia!"
Pinkie led the way into the perfectly timed portal and out onto a busy street in front of a red brick building with a big, old fashioned bell tower at the top.
"Little known fact! -- well, I mean, it's little known to humans, basically everypony in Equestria knows about it at least a little from pageants we all have to do in school -- Fillydelphia was actually once upon a time the capital of all of Equestria! That's why there's lots and lots of nifty historical sites around like this one: Independence Hall. A long long time ago a whole bunch of ponies got together and decided they didn't like being ruled over by princesses and wanted to form a new kind of government. So they wrote up a big letter to send to Canterlot." Pinkie looked up at the bell tower with an expression of fond awe. "They had some great ideas and Princess Celestia and Princess Luna read them over and they all got together and agreed that ponies could be even more equal than they already were and that started the princesses learning all about friendship and harmony and really shaped what Equestria looks like today!" Pinkie sprung up on her hooves and flung confetti in the air, then dropped back to all-fours. "I mean, other than the 'no princesses' thing. Who would want to live in a world like that? I mean, they raise and lower the sun and moon." She shook her head and trotted off.
Enjoy exploring Fillydelphia, kids. It's way more than just busted bells and weirdly non-anti-monarchial federal history.
