Oh the Humanity!: Friendship is International Adventure, Thursday, period 1
The class met up, much like Pinkie's last class, outside the Portalocity offices on the island. Pinkie waved to the students enthusiastically as they arrived, while Eliot eyed her suspiciously, a notebook tucked under his arm. Once the class seemed to be all gathered, Pinkie got started.
"Hellohellohello!" she greeted, beaming at each student in turn. "Welcome to 'OH THE HUMANITY!: Friendship is International Adventure!' I'm Pinkie Pie!"
There was an awkward pause. Then Pinkie elbowed Eliot.
Eliot didn't even know she HAD elbows. "I thought you were going to keep going," he grumbled, then nodded to the class. "I'm Eliot Spencer. An --"
"And we're your teachers!" Pinkie said. ". . . We don't have our rhythm down yet."
Eliot looked like he had no intention of getting any sort of 'rhythm' down at all.
"In this class, we're going to explore the world that Fandom mostly seems to call home: the planet Earth!" Pinkie explained. "Each week we'll go somewhere fun and different and see different human cultures or animal activities or historical sites or who even really knows!"
"Yeah," Eliot said, edging slightly away from the excitedly flailing pony. "I'm mostly here to make sure she doesn't land you all in an active volcano or a civil war or somethin'." That was the only reason he hadn't just outright refused to participate.
"Before we go see where we're going this week, let's get to know each other!" Pinkie said.
"If you ain't had enough introductions so far this week," Eliot said with a faint, rueful smile. "Name, class, where you're from originally, any places you'd especially want to see, if you know enough about modern Earth to have an opinion."
Once intros were out of the way, Eliot pulled his notebook out from under his arm. "It ain't gonna be a thing this week, but some of the places we're going, it's gonna be best to have an official form of identification. Specifically, a modern Earth passport. I know a lot of folks around here ain't from Earth, or from modern times, or have some other reason why they're not gonna have one, so let me know if that's an issue for ya, and I'll make sure we've got something for you starting next week."
"Isn't he just SO USEFUL?" Pinkie said. "I didn't even know passports were a thing!" A portal opened up behind her, and she started trotting through. "Anywho, follow me to ADVENTURE!"
Eliot stayed to the back of the group to make sure everyone made it through. The class stepped out of the portal on the other end to find an incredible vista.
"Welcome, everypony, to the Grand Canyon!" Pinkie announced.
"Specifically, the south rim," Eliot said. "This sucker is nearly 300 miles long and in places almost 20 miles across, so we don't have anywhere near enough time to see the whole thing."
"There's a visitor's center behind you where you can find out all the super-duper fun things there are to do here, like go on nature hikes and paint a landscape and ride bikes along the rim trail and learn about geology!"
"Or you can find a nice quiet spot to just sit and look at it," Eliot said. "Wouldn't blame ya."
"Go on and explore, and we'll see you back here at the end of the class period for the portal home!"
"Fall off the edge and I'll kill you." Eliot smiled a slightly toned down version of his creepy grin. "Have fun."
"Hellohellohello!" she greeted, beaming at each student in turn. "Welcome to 'OH THE HUMANITY!: Friendship is International Adventure!' I'm Pinkie Pie!"
