It has been at least a month of preparations in Equestria, most of it being in Ponyville. As Princess Celestia observed the set up, she was also gaining more and more information of the backgrounds of the four bronies that are coming to Equestria. Celestia always loved to see the humans who loved them so much, but still, she could never be too careful.

Meanwhile, in Ponyville, Twilight Sparkle was making sure that everything in town was absolutely perfect. Pinkie Pie was busy decortating the town. Twilight thought she did enough with the sweets. Rainbow Dash had her scheduel with keeping the skies clear for the holiday. Applejack was the new pony in charge of catering, except she was making pies and fritters and all the good stuff. Rarity was helping Pinkie Pie with the decortating, because Rarity wanted things to be perfect as well.

Fluttershy had a really important job. Princess Celestia hoof picked Fluttershy to keep the information that Celestia finds out about the humans. So that way, Fluttershy will know what they like and don't like.

After hours and hours of finalizing, the town was fully ready for there arrival.

"Everything seems to be in order Princess." said Twilight.

"You have done a wonderful job preparing Ponyville Twilight. I couldn't have done better myself." said Celestia. "Now, there is one other job that I wish for you to do this year."

"Really?" asked Twilight. "I mean, yes, of course I'll do whatever you wish for me to do."

"Being that everyone in the human world knows and loves you so much, and since you ARE a princess now, I would like for you to be the one to go to the human world and bring the humans to us."

"You want me........ to go there?" asked Twilight, seeming a little excited at the thought.

"Of course my Twilight." said the princess. "I have seen how much you study the humans, and I have heard all of the times you have told Spike how much you want to go to there world for once. Well, I figure an appropriate way for you to go is to pick them up yourself."

"Wow Princess Celestia, I-I don't know what to say." said Twilight. "Thank you princess." Then, after thanking the princess, she had something else she wanted to ask her. "Um..... princess?"

"Yes Twilight?"

"Why can't we ever go there to visit their world, instead of them coming here?"

Celestia then changed her look to a more serious glance. "Because I can protect us better in a world that I am more familiar in. In there world, they have technology there that could do some serious harm to us. I can't take any chances, so that is why they come here, instead of us go there. Do you understand?"

Twilight sat and thought about it for a little bit, then looked at her teacher. "Yes, I understand."

"I know there are many questions that you have about both of our worlds, but you will learn them all in good time. But for now, trust me Twilight, I know what I'm doing, and I know you do as well."

"I'm sorry princess. I guess I am still learning." said Twilight. "But I trust in you."
