“So, anyone got a darn tootin idea where we’re goin again?” Applejack questioned from her seat around the map table only to get shrugs and Head swings from the other ponies gathered around the table save Twilight who had her nose buried in a book, as usual.

“Um... yea, Twilight?” Fluttershy asked her friend right next to her, Cutie mark glowing like the rest of them.

“Yes Fluttershy?” Twilight responded without so much asnlifting her head from the book she was thoroughly reading.

“Have you found anything yet in that history book yet?” Fluttershy pondered as quietly as she could muster.

“Not ye... AHA!” Twilight exclaimed startling everyone around her into awkward positions. “It says here, before even the two sisters or discord ruled, Equestria was visited by another group of more sophisticated ponies hailing from “Europia” She added with Quotation marks.

“That’s great and all but where is the map taking us?” Rainbow growled as she pulled herself upright in the air.

“Across the Griffon sea to Europia, whatever that is, duh dashie” Pinkie jovially added.

“Precisely, which is why I’ll all need you to prepare at least a months worth of supplies and meet me at the train station. We’ll head to Manehattan and from there take a boat across the Griffon sea, Europia is massive and we have no idea exactly where it is..........” Twilight droned out as the cutie map put a literal pin in the projection of Europia sticking it straight on the coast of what it labeled as “the Black Sea”.

“Remind me never to question pinkie or the map from now on” Twilight added twitching her eyebrow a little.

“Anyways, everyone get ready and meet me at the train station tomorrow morning 10:00 am sharp! Oh and spike, write a letter to Princess Celestia asking if we can have a boat arranged to pick us up in Manehattan, Oh and also ask her if she knows anything about eastern Europia” Twilight continued, eliciting groans from everyone including her baby dragon, Spike.

As they all wandered off to prepare for the long trip ahead of them, Twilight looked at the cutie map once more stating to no one in particular. “The Cutie Map is so weird”.
