The news didn't spread slowly. In fact, they were fastest news ever delivered. Equestria was now in the spotlight of the entire world. Europeans, Asians, Americans, Africans, all stood before their TV's and news papers. Those who couldn't afford these, relied on rumours. Some were even plugged on the Internet for even more news of Equestria, there was also videos and an actual footage on Youtube. The majority of people found the ponies quite... Adorable. But there was always some people who weren't so happy about meeting some magical intelligent talking ponies.

The leaders didn't go quiet on the subject. Of course they didn't want to spread panic to the populace, and that was a big challenge to overcome. During conferences, they were overwhelmed with questions, and some rather limited answers were used. Even projects were presented, like the construction of an embassy in Canterlot and an airport near Manehattan.


For the ponies, it was pretty much the same scenario. Newspaper everywhere, rumours, talks about some weird intelligent creatures were common. The Crystal Empire was also talking about those bipedal beings. Even the great Griffin Empire were chattering about those, that they so gently named, "hairless apes". The Changeling Hive were curious about the humans, and wanted to know more about them. Perhaps even trying to befriend them.

Celestia, had received greetings from about fifty countries. And all with a little message written in the native language of where it came from. This gave Celestia, the opportunity to study human languages and cultures. Every mail came with a little present from its nation. Canada was extremely grateful for taking care of one of its military pilots, as could be seen by the choice of words in the letter.

"What are you reading sister? Another friendship report from your student?" Luna asked, after entering and seeing Celestia reading letters on her cushion.

"Oh, no those are salutation letters from human rulers." Celestia replied with a smile.

Luna levitated one of the letters from the pile near her sister, and read out loud.

____________________________________________________________________________

"Dear rulers of Equestria. Canada is highly sorry for the accident that occurred in the small town of Ponyville, and that our nation is willing to compensate for any damage caused by the crash. We also want to thank you, for the hospitality that you so generously offered to our military pilot, Sergeant Christopher Williams.

We are looking forward, as well as every members of the United Nations, to further agreements and lasting friendly relations with Equestria.

We are also willing to learn more about your nation's cultural prosperity among your land. Of course if you are as interest as we are, the United Nation is more than happy to organize some sort of cultural understanding trip. The trip will include, food, housing, transportation, activities, and of course, your majesty's won't have to pay for anything during this travel. Everything will be paid by the government of Canada itself. We are eagerly waiting for your response as well as a meeting with your highness's in the process.

With my best regards, Prime Minister Andrew Cooper of Canada.
Cordialement, Premier Ministre Andrew Cooper du Canada."

"Let me see." Celestia asked impatiently.

Luna tossed the letter to her sister, who immediately grasped it with her own magic. She made a quick reading of the letter, before putting it down.

"Lulu?"

"Yes Celly?" Luna replied, unsure of what her sister was about to say.

"I think I know the perfect candidates for the trip." Celestia said, before smiling happily at her idea.

Luna frowned and looked at her sister. "And who are those candidates of yours?"

Celestia chuckled, and looked through her window where Ponyville stood at the distance, with the last sun rays of the late afternoon behind it."Lets say it involves, 6 lovely mares, and one baby dragon."

This time Luna knew exactly who her sister was referring to, and she liked this idea.

"I'll write the reply letter, can you fetch them by tomorrow morning?" The white alicorn princess asked her sister, who simply nodded in return.

"Good! I feel that tomorrow will be a busy day for both of us Lu." Celestia said while looking at Ponyville.

"I have no doubt sister." Luna simply said before heading to her quarters.

Celestia then looked at the package that came with the letter. She lite up her horn and gently the package levitated by her side. She opened it and took the present that was inside. "100% Maple Syrup?"

Celestia opened the can and dipped her hoof into it, before licking it off. It didn't took long before Celestia's iris size and eyes widened. She never tasted something that good in all her life. She quickly felt a sudden urge to eat cake, and to make cake with this Maple syrup she just recently discovered.

"I must! Do! Maple syrup cake!!" Celestia exclaimed loudly before drooling and running her way to the Royal Kitchen.


Ponyville, 10:40 AM, Twilight's library.

"Good morning girls, I'm glad that you were all able to come. You need to see this quick!" Twilight said excitedly. While inviting her friends to enter. The library seemed normal. The books in the shelves were neatly placed, and Spike had just finished placing the last remaining books.

"So, what's so important you wanted us to see?" Rainbow stated. "Is it some sort of scientific experiment that gives ponies superpowers!?"

Twilight rolled her eyes at this statement. "No it's not."

Rainbow Dash sighed with annoyance, "Alright, just get on with it;"

"Remember the four diplomats when we brought Chris back to the-.. Um.. The Montr-hay-al?"

Rarity pondered at the question for a moment "Yes I can recall, they left a week ago. But what is so interesting about them?"

"Well after their departure, Celestia sent me something incredible from the humans!" Twilight exclaimed.

"Well, what in tarnation are ya waitin for? Show us already." Applejack implied.

"Alright, here it goes." Twilight's horn lite up and a little folded piece of paper levitated in front of the group. She then unfolded it and pinned it on the wall behind her so that everypony could see. It revealed something that was indeed unbelievable.

"A... map? But where's Equestria?" Rainbow said with confusion in her voice.

Twilight saw the puzzlement on everypony's faces. Except Pinkie of course. But she decided to explain them what they were seeing right now. "Girls, what you are seeing there are every single human nation in the world. Equestria isn't there because it was only discovered recently."

Suddenly, a pink blur came swooshing past the group. A fraction of a second later, Pinkie Pie was right in front of the map, taking a closer look at it. "Oooooh! I like the colours!"

The rest of the girls were dumbfounded by the sheer number of them. Twilight simply smiled at the sight, but was then interrupted by an incoming letter from Spike's dragon breath. The dragon then looked at the seal before quickly giving it to Twilight. "It's a letter from princess Luna." the dragon stated.

Twilight unrolled the scroll with her magic and read.

"What does it say?" Fluttershy asked curiously.

Twilight looked at her friends and replied. "Princess Luna and princess Celestia want us at Canterlot soon, and Luna is coming to take us up!"

"What's happening! Are those humans decided to invade Equestria!?" Rainbow asked while taking her fighting stance.

"I don't thing so, but we better prepare quick." Twilight said anxiously "You girls should head to your homes and prepare yourselves, I'll prepare my things as well. See you girls at 11:20, got it?"

They all agreed and quickly went off.
