Cassa Di Caffe

“Whoo hoo!” Rainbow dash shouted as she leapt into the air, spinning in circles before landing with a beaming smile on her face.

“Calm down Rainbow” Twilight giggled “We are going on official business”

“Yeah, but when do we ever get to go to someplace cool that isn’t in Equestria? This is gonna be so awesome!”

From her corner in the large room filled with mostly empty chairs and signs over every door, telling ponies where to go when the time came, Cadence spoke up.

“I agree with Rainbow Dash Twilight. The royals there know me, so I’ll be doing most of the official part. After the initial introductions you all will be free to do as you please”

“Oh, and I am just sooo excited to go to someplace as romantic as Haytally” Rarity gushed.

“I thought Prance was supposed to be the country of romance?” Rainbow questioned with a raised eyebrow.

“Well yes, Prance is renowned for it’s romantic charm” Rarity replied, then smirked “But Haytally is known for passion”

Rainbow dash rolled her eyes and went back to her excitement on her own, then joined by Pinkie Pie, the two of them whooping and hollering about their new diplomatic mission.

Twilight walked over to Cadence and sat down with her own luggage. She watched her sister in law rummage through her things for a while, quietly thinking of something to say about their trip. The trip would last a full month, and she still didn’t know exactly why she was going as well. Still though, she couldn’t figure out where to begin questioning.

“I know you want to ask me something, Twilight” Cadence spoke lightly, in a sort of motherly tone.

Twilight sighed “I just don’t know where to begin. If you are already on good terms with the royals of Haytally, then why do you need me to come along? Much less my friends?”

“Because Twilight, we are renewing our treaty so our countries can continue to be peaceful and trade necessary goods for the benefit of all ponies. In order to do that we have to show that we can be friends. In order to be friends, wouldn’t you think they would have to know ALL of our princesses?”

Twilight closed her eyes and nodded, then reopened them and tilted her head in confusion.

“But that still doesn’t explain why my friends are coming along. Not that I don’t want them to. I’m so happy they can come with me. I just don’t understand. They all have jobs to do and their own lives to lead. They already have to take time off wandering all over Equestria for me because of some map, now they have to go out of their way and out of their own country?”

“Darling!” Rarity shouted, having over heard her “We are more than happy to accompany you on this trip, and I for one see perfect benefit in it”

“Yeah!” Rainbow Dash interjected “Besides, anypony who knows us at this point knows that our first duty is to the princess, our princess, the princess of friendship” She puffed her chest out pridefully, earning a giggle from Twilight.

Cadence chuckled, capturing Twilight’s attention once more.

“And the princess of friendship should have her friends with her at all times to emphasise her title, no?” She gave Twilight a coy smirk, knowing she was right.

“Ah’ Hate ta’ Interrupt, but I do believe our airship has arrah’vd” AppleJack drawled, smirking and pointing a hoof at said airship, which would be taking them overseas “We’d best be headin’ off. Grab yer bags ya’ll, and hope ya di’nt ferget nothin’. We’re headin’ ta Haytally”
