Pony Express: Friendship is Cultural Exchange! Wednesday, period 1

"Alright, everypony!" Pinkie said as the class gathered. "So we've had a feeeeeew little bumps the last couple weeks, but this week we're gonna be right back on track! Today we're going to see one of the most influential cities in all Equestria!" She led the way through the portal as usual, this time into what looked like a city right out of a fairy tale. There were long winding roads through meadows, graceful sculptures of dancing ponies, classy little boutique cafes, all in shining white stone and centered around a magnificent, sprawling castle. "Welcome to Canterlot!"

Pinkie's rain of confetti was immediately swept up by a skinny, lantern jawed stallion with a pushbroom on his flank. He tipped his hat to the group and carried on sweeping, whistling a jaunty tune.

"Canterlot is the capital city of all of Equestria. It's where Princesses Celestia and Luna live and work, and where they host the big important guests from far away lands like Saddle Arabia! Every year, Princess Celestia hosts the Grand Galloping Gala, the biggest, fanciest -- and between you and me, snootiest and boringest parties in all of Equestria! There's also garden parties in the castle gardens and art shows in the castle art galleries and polo games in the castle polo grounds and -- well, basically everything revolves right around the castle itself. The city was founded by unicorns. That's how it sticks off the side of the mountain like it does without falling! And sometimes it gets attacked by evil creatures like changelings, because it's so important, but Celestia's royal guard ponies are usually up to the task and when they're not, my friends and I pitch in with the Elements of Harmony. We've saved this town so many times, you guys!"

Pinkie led the way to a little square off to one side of the castle, where a fountain topped with another of those dancing pony statues sprinkled merrily. "Princess Celestia is superduper busy today, but Princess Luna promised that she'd stay up a little late so she could come meet up with all of you. She kinda sorta got to meet some of you in my dreams last time I was home, but those were the Pinkie'd versions of you. She says that's not the same thing at all."

"It's really not," a deep, kind voice said, and a dark purple alicorn whose mane seemed to be made of the night sky itself stepped out of the shadows behind the fountain. "Greetings, humans. I am Princess Luna, sister to Princess Celestia and co-ruler of this land. It is my very great honor to welcome you all." She ducked her head in a regal bow, then straightened, looking each student in the eye in turn. "Pinkie Pie has told me a great deal about what she's learned of friendship and peace in her time in your world. I hope that her class has brought as much understanding to you, as well."

"And we can talk all about that really soon," Pinkie promised, grinning up at Luna. "But first: this week in the human world has a very special holiday in it, all about being thankful for new friendships. I mean --" She held up a hoof in Kathy's general direction. "-- It kind of is all based on a fairy tale that didn't really happen that way at all, and that's important to understand, but the spirit of it I think is really super important. So in the spirit of Thanksgiving, LET'S PARRRRRTAAAAAY!"

Streamers and balloons exploded from every corner, swiftly decorating the little square in dark blues, reds, and purples, with glittery silver stars and moons and little cloth bats all around. It looked like a birthday party for a gothic six year old.

"Indeed!" Luna cheered, picking up a little rubber spider and hurling it at a net. "Now the fun will be tripled!"
