Pony Express: Friendship is Cultural Exchange! Wednesday, period 1
"I'm sorry about last week," Pinkie said, looking very sorry indeed as the class walked up. "We were hoping to go to the Equestria Games in the Crystal Empire, but Twilight's still perfecting that spell and we had no idea someplace that creepy even existed in Equestria!" She shook her head, and like somepony flipped a switch, was immediately her usual cheerful self again. "But I'm going to make it up to you this time! We're going to one of the funnest events all over Equestria -- other than my parties, of course -- the Rainbow Falls Traders Exchange!"
A portal opened up behind her -- just on time, thanks again, Portalocity! -- and Pinkie led the way through.
"Rainbow Falls is one of the prettier towns in Equestria, as you can see. What with the waterfalls made of rainbows and all. Don't see those much around Fandom, do ya? And every so often they put on a Traders Exchange, where folks from all over Equestria can bring their goods and crafts and even random junk from their attic and offer it up for trade with other ponies! The only rule is that all trades have to be fair, and a trade is fair so long as both ponies agree to the exchange, so it's super self-regulated, and a great place to hunt for that extra special, hard to find something, or just a good bargain!
"We have regular money in Equestria, of course," Pinkie continued as she led the way between stalls selling everything from crystal chickens to rusted cookware to piles and piles of comics. "But sometimes it's good to throw off that old ball and chain and get down to business the old fashioned way. Lots of ponies really prefer a good swap instead of the crass, impersonal exchange of bits. Of course, at the end of the day, when you're trading a thing for a thing which you'll trade for a thing which you'll trade for another thing which you'd trade for YET ANOTHER thing which you're hoping you'll get so you can trade it for what you REALLY want by the time the Exchange ends at sundown, you start to remember why those bits were invented in the first place."
Pinkie stopped in front of a little wagon tucked out of the way, loaded down with an extremely random assortment of brightly colored and slightly dented items. "Here's some stuff for you all to trade other ponies with!" she said cheerfully. "Trading's more than half the fun of the Exchange, so I wanted to make sure nopony missed out. Dig in and fan out, and get trading! Wheeee!"
