It was hustle and bustle in Arendelle, none more so than in the castle itself. Queen Elsa was expecting some very important guests tomorrow and she wanted to make sure everything was perfect.
"What is the name of this place again?" Princess Anna asked her older sister.
"Equestria," Elsa replied. "They heard we were in need of a new trading partner in place of Weselton."
"Equestria?" Anna repeated the word, trying it on for size. "Hmm."
"I received a letter from their leader Princess…Celestia I believe the name was. She will be arriving to discuss further terms with us while her sister, Princess Luna, watches over Equestria. Celestia added that she would be bringing her star pupil and her friends along, as they have apparently aided Equestria numerous times in the past."
"What do you think she's like?" Anna asked.
Elsa tapped her chin. "She was very formal and respectful in her letter, but that's all I have to go on."
"Hopefully she'll be nicer than the Duke of Weaseltown," Anna muttered.
Elsa sighed. "Agreed."
"Also…what's with all the fruits and vegetables in the kitchen?" Anna wondered. "Do they really like salads or something."
"Princess Celestia said we would understand when we met her and the others she is bringing," Elsa replied. "All that we needed to know for now was that they did not want to eat any meat."
Anna made a face. Eating nothing but fruits and vegetables? Huh. Well, who was she to judge?
"However," Elsa's face turned mischevious now. "The letter did recommend to also have plenty of chocolates, sweets, and cakes."
Anna grinned. "I'm starting to like this Celestia."
Elsa grinned back. "I had a feeling you would."
…
Tomorrow came and both sisters were at the docks, awaiting the arrival of Princess Celestia. Olaf had decided to tag along to meet this mysterious princess he kept hearing so much about.
"When will they be arriving?" Olaf asked.
"Pretty soon, I think," Elsa answered. "The letter did say around noon."
"I see a ship coming!" Olaf cried, jumping up and down with excitement.
Sure enough, a grand ship was making its way across the fjord and towards the docks. It flew a flag the likes of which Elsa, or anyone in Arendelle for that matter, had ever seen. It was light blue with a picture of a white Pegasus and a blue Pegasus circling the sun and moon, surrounded by stars. Elsa and Anna waited with anticipation as the Equestrian ship finally docked. Ropes were tossed overt the side, which Elsa's servants grabbed and began tying to the docs as the ship let down its anchor. Elsa was about to call out to the ship when suddenly a gangplank moved over the side and touched the doc. All the gathered people, with the exception of the oblivious Olaf, were confused as the plank had been moved. They couldn't see anyone on the ship moving it. And it might have been Elsa's imagination but she could have sworn she had seen the plank engulfed with a faint, golden light a moment ago.
But that was nothing compared to what Elsa was about to see next. A figure stood from the ship for all to see. It was…a horse. At first. It was pure white with a mane and tail that looked like a light rainbow. And it seemed to move on its very own. The strange horse had golden…shoes(?) on her hooves, a golden necklace with a purple gem in the center, and a tiara on top of its head. On its flank was a picture of the sun.
But those weren't the strangest things about the horse. What was really the strangest would be the horn sticking out of the horse's forehead and the wings sticking out of the sides. She was a unicorn? A Pegasus? A unicorn Pegasus? A Pegasus unicorn? A pegacorn? A unisus?
"Queen Elsa?" The unicorn/Pegasus suddenly spoke, shocking everyone even further.
"Uh…yes?" Elsa hesitantly responded.
The strange horse, now identified as a girl, smiled with understanding and patience. "I understand this might come as quite the surprise, but I thought it would be easier to explain things to you in person than through a letter." She bowed. "I am Princess Celestia of Equestria."
Elsa, Anna, and all their gathered servants all gaped. Princess Celestia…was a horse?!
Olaf, not bothered in the slightest, waved. "Hi, Princess Celestia! I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs!"
Celestia chuckled at the enthusiastic snowman. "Hello, Olaf."
Elsa just stood there, staring at Celestia in shock and awe. Anna was struggling to say something but all that come out was a bunch of weak gibberish. Celestia noticed this and sighed.
"I apologize if I have upset you."
Luckily Elsa managed to find her voice. "Oh, no, no, you haven't, Princess Celestia. Oh, I am so sorry." She curtisied. "Welcome to Arendelle, Princess Celestia. Please forgive my rudeness."
"That's quite alright," Celestia assured her. "I can understand this might be quite a lot to take in."
"You got that right," Anna muttered, though Elsa heard her. She quickly elbowed her sister, earning herself an annoyed look from Anna.
"Now that you know what I am, do you still wish to consider Equestria as a potential trading partner?"
Elsa considered this. So what if Celestia was a horse…unicorn…Pegasus…creature. She was obviously intelligent, understanding, and an actual ruler. Besides, considering that she had the power to control ice and snow, who was Elsa to judge?
"I would be honored," She said finally.
Celestia smiled again. "Thank you, Queen Elsa."
"Shall we continue discussing this in the castle?" Elsa offered. "Over lunch?"
Celestia nodded. "Thank you. It has been quite a long journey."
"Very well," Elsa said.
Celestia looked over her shoulder. "It's alright, my faithful student. You and the others can come out now."
"Are you sure, Princess Celestia?" Another female's voice called back.
"I'm quite sure," Celestia replied comfortingly.
There was the sound of clopping on deck and suddenly another horse came into view. This one was much smaller than Celestia. She was violet, with a mane and tail that was deep purple with a pink stripe running through them. On this one's flank was a picture of a star. Like Celestia, she had both a horn and wings.
"Queen Elsa, Princess Anna, meet Twilight Sparkle," Celestia said. "My dear student and the princess of friendship."
The now named Twilight Sparkle bowed. Elsa and Anna both bowed back.
"A pleasure to meet you, Queen Elsa, Princess Anna," Twilight said.
"A pleasure, Princess Twilight Sparkle," Elsa replied.
"Another princess?" Anna asked. "How is this…"
"There is much to explain about Equestria," Celestia answered. "We can explain everything when we discuss trading business."
Anna shrugged. "Fair enough."
Just then more horses appeared next to Twilight and Celestia. Like Celestia and Twilight, they were female. One was pure white like Celestia, thought she had a dark purple mane and tail, which were both done like a fancy hairdo. On her flank were three diamonds forming a triangle. Next to her was an orange horse with a blonde mane and tail. On her flank were three apples that formed an upside down triangle. Then there was a cyan blue horse with a rainbow colored mane and tail with a mark like a red lightning bolt on her flank. Following her was a yellow horse with a long pink mane and tail, with butterfly images on her flank. The last one was bubblegum pink with darker pink, puffy-looking mane and tail. This last one had what appeared to be a trio of balloons on her flank; two of them were blue while the third was yellow.
"Oooh!" The pink horse said in a hyper voice. "Are these the humans Princess Celestia told us about? This calls for a First Encounter with Humans Party!" She suddenly tossed streamers into the air.
"Pinkie," Twilight sighed with a roll of her eyes.
"Honestly, my dear," The white horse with the purple mane said. "We are in the presence of royalty. Please show some manners."
"Ooops," Pinkie giggled. "Sorry."
Sighing again, Twilight faced Elsa and Anna. "These are my friends," She pointed to the white horse.
"A pleasure to meet you."
Twilight pointed to the orange one. "Applejack."
"Well howdy-do!"
Twilight pointed at the one with the rainbow mane. "Rainbow Dash"
"The one and only!"
Twilight pointed at the yellow one. "Fluttershy."
"H…hi."
"And Pinkie Pie."
"Hi, humans!" Pinkie Pie waved happily.
"Hi, Pinkie Pie!" Olaf cheered as he ran up to them. "I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs."
The girls all gasped upon seeing Olaf.
"Incredible," Twilight studied the snowman. "A sentient snow golem." She began studying Olaf's flurry. "And this small cloud is capable of keeping him from melting. Fascinating. How did you come to be, Mr. Olaf?"
"Elsa made me," Olaf said simply.
Twilight looked over at Elsa in shock. "Humans are capable of magic? I've never heard of unicorns or alicorns capable of creating sentient constructs before. This is incredible!"
Rainbow Dash suddenly flew up to Elsa's face. "You have snow powers? That is so awesome!"
Applejack trotted up to them and proceeded to grab Rainbow Dash's tail with her teeth, yanking the Pegasus back soon.
"You leave the poor gal alone," Applejack said sternly.
"You're a queen with snow powers?" Pinkie Pie asked Elsa. "That makes you a Snow Queen?" She gasped loudly. "We should totally have a snow party! With snowballs and ice cream and…"
Rarity put her hoof in front of Pinkie's mouth, silencing the hyper-active horse. "Perhaps we should get better acquainted with her highness first and see if she is interested in having a party."
"Of course she'd be interested in having a party," Pinkie replied, as if that were obvious. "Who wouldn't?"
Rarity rolled her eyes before looking back at Elsa. "Though I must say, your majesty. That dress of yours is positively stunning. Who is your tailor? I simply must speak with them?"
"Um…I made it?" Elsa said with a sheepish grin.
"You? You made your own dress?" Rarity started eyeing it up and down. "Well, as one designer to another, I simply must applaud you. The color, the design, it's simply divine!"
"It…it is really pretty," Fluttershy timidly agreed.
"This is so weird," Anna muttered to her sister, who couldn't help but agree.
"How about we head to the castle first?" Elsa suggested.
"An excellent idea," Celestia agreed. "Come along my little ponies."
…
Soon the rather unusual band made their way to the castle. Needless to say, Princess Celestia and her companions drew countless stares and murmurs.
"I don't see what the big deal is," Rainbow Dash said, flying over everyone else. "You think they'd never seen a pony before."
"Rainbow Dash," Twilight scowled. "Didn't you listen to Princess Celestia earlier? Humans have never encountered Pegasus ponies, unicorns, or earth ponies before, just as how we have never met humans before."
"Yeah, yeah," Rainbow Dash muttered, not really caring what her friend was saying, which made Twilight groan.
"I apologize for Rainbow Dash's behavior," Twilight said to Elsa and Anna.
"It's quite alright," Elsa said, seeing how badly Twilight felt about all this.
…
Soon everyone was gathered at the grand hall for lunch. All sorts of fruits and vegetables were handed out, along with loaves of bread and numerous baked goods. Somehow the ponies were capable of holding objects with their hooves as if they were hands. Though Celestia, Twilight, and Rarity simply used magic to levitate everything. They did this by different colored lights surrounding their horns and any objects they wished to move would have that same light on them. It was quite an interesting sight.
"So…Equestria is a hor…pony country?" Anna asked, looking at Celestia.
"While ponies are the majority," Celestia said. "There other beings who live there as well. There are griffins, dragons, minotaurs…"
Both Elsa and Anna's large eyes grew even wider. Equestria sounded like a country for all sorts of mythical creatures.
"So…what was Rainbow Dash talking about earlier?" Anna asked. "The whole Pegasus pony, unicorn thing?"
"Ah," Twilight said before looking at her mentor. "May I, Princess Celestia?"
Celestia nodded to her. "Go ahead, my faithful student."
Twilight cleared her throat. "Well you see, Princess Anna, there are three different kinds of ponies. Earth ponies, Unicorns, and Pegasus ponies."
"What are you and Celestia?" Anna asked.
"We are alicorns," Twilight replied. "But the only alicorns I know of are Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, and myself."
"Pinkie and I are Earth ponies," Applejack replied. "We don't have magic and can't fly, but we get by just fine."
"Pegaus ponies like me and Fluttershy can fly through the sky and make Equestria's weather," Rainbow Dash explained.
"Make weather?" Elsa asked.
"Yes," Celestia explained. "In Equestria, the weather is regulated by the Pegasus ponies. Though there are certain places where the weather occurs naturally."
"Like the E...everfree forest," Fluttershy mumbled.
"I'm guessing that this Everfree Forest is a dangerous place?" Elsa asked Fluttershy, giving her a warm and reassuring smile. Fluttershy shyly smiled back.
"Well, it is pretty scary," Fluttershy replied. "But our friend Zecora the zebra lives there so it's not too bad."
At that moment, deserts were being handed out. Pinkie licked her mouth as she stared at the cakes and pies, chocolates and creams. "Now we're talking!" She cried happily. When a plate with a cake was put down in front of her, Pinkie somehow managed to swallow the entire cake…whole!
Elsa and Anna stared. They looked at each other then back at Pinkie Pie, who was licking her mouth again. "Mmmm. That was good!"
Twilight cringed at Pinkie Pie's lack of manners. "I am so sorry, Queen Elsa!"
"That's…alright," Elsa replied, still staring at Pinkie Pie, who was stuffing herself with more sweets. Rarity was giving her hyper friend a reprimanding look, though Pinkie was completely oblivious to it.
"Hey, Elsa," Rainbow Dash called. "Let's see some of your magic!"
"Rainbow Dash!" Twilight gasped. "That is not…"
Deciding to keep the two from arguing, Elsa got up. "I would love to show you." She said.
Immediately everypony looked at her. Taking a deep breath, Elsa waved her hand, sending a blast of ice at the ground.
"Whoa!" Rainbow Dash flew into the air. "That is so cool!"
"What all can you do with your magic, Queen Elsa?" Twilight asked. "We know you can create living snowman like Olaf…"
"Can you create a snowpony?" Pinkie asked excitedly.
"I think I could," Elsa tapped her chin.
"You should see Elsa's ice castle," Anna said. "Not to mention Marshmallow!"
"Ice…castle?!" Rarity was suddenly in Elsa's face. "You have an ice castle?! We simply must see it!"
"We can go there later if Queen Elsa is willing, Rarity," Applejack said. "Right now, how about we see if the Queen's interested in being partners with Equestria."
"Oh, um," Rarity blushed. "Of course. Hmm. My deepest apologies, your majesty."
Once again, Elsa assured the ponies that everything was alright. Soon, Celestia began telling Elsa all about Equestria while the snow queen showed the ponies all of her icy powers. Twilight Sparkle, who was just as much a scientist as she was a magic user, enjoyed talking with Elsa over her powers as well as their shared fondness for geometry.
Soon, Elsa showed them her ice castle. Rarity spent her time studying every detail.
"There are no words!" Rarity had gushed before running over to Elsa. "I don't suppose you'd consider making one for ahem…other ponies would you?"
And then when she learned Elsa created her dress with her magic, the fashionista suggested they become dress partners sometime. Needless to say, Elsa was becoming quite popular.
Soon, Anna and Elsa led the ponies to meet the rock trolls, Kristoff, and Sven. Fluttershy, who had been so quiet and timid all day, was suddenly gushing the moment she saw the troll kids.
"Ooooh!" Fluttershy scooped a baby troll into her front hooves. "I've never seen a baby troll before. He's so cute!"
When the ponies were introduced to Kristoff, who was…surprisingly not as shocked as they had been. Might have been due to his friendship with Sven. Though even they were put off by how he and Sven would share carrots. Rarity had been baffled that Anna was not engaged to a prince of some sort. So Elsa explained the whole Prince Hans situation.
"My word!" Rarity had gasped. "That Prince Hans is a fiend! I'm so glad you punched him, Anna!"
While Rarity was still put off by Anna being in a relationship with a mere ice-deliverer, she respected the feelings the two had for each other.
Soon everyone had tuckered themselves out and were now back at the castle.
"Princess Celestia," Elsa said with a smile. "I would be honored to have Arendelle be trading partners with Equestria."
The six other ponies all cheered happily while Celestia gave Elsa a bow. "And Equestria would be honored to have Arendelle as a trading partner." She said.
"Yay!" Pinkie cheered. "Party Time!"
For once, everyone and everypony was in agreement. So they headed back to Arendelle to party! There were singing, dancing, playing 'Pin the Tail on the Pony' and chocolate; lots and lots of chocolate.
"Pinkie Pie!" Anna laughed as the two stuffed chocolate in their faces. "I like your style."
"Mmmhmm," Pinkie grunted in agreement, her mouth full of chocolate cake.
"Come on, Elsa!" Rainbow Dash said. "Let's have a snowball fight!"
"Not in the Grand Hall," Elsa chided. "But we can have one in the courtyard."
Rainbow Dash pumped the air. "Alright!"
Soon the girls were out and Elsa used her magic to fill the courtyard with snow. They all began pelting each other with snowballs.
"Hmph," Rarity looked away. "As if I would partake in such a childlish…" A snowball struck her head. "Who did that?! I will make you pay for ruining my coiffeur!" She used her magic to create some snowballs and began firing at everyone and everypony in range.
Suddenly the snow rose up in a giant wave and wipe out everyone.
"Ah, man!" Anna popped out of the snow. "Good one, Elsa. Though I wish you just got them instead of us."
"Uh…that wasn't me," Elsa told her sister.
A chuckling caused everyone to look over and see Celestia smiling playfully at everyone. Once everyone got over the shock of Princess Celestia doing such a thing, they all had a good laugh.
"Good one, Princess Celestia!" Pinkie laughed.
"Good one indeed," Elsa complimented.
…
Soon enough, it was time for the ponies to leave.
"Do you have to leave so soon?" Anna asked, having become quite fond of their visitors. Pinkie Pie looked close to tears.
"I'm afraid so," Celestia replied, and she did indeed sound rather saddened by the departure.
"It was nice to meet all of y'all," Applejack said, taking off her hat.
"Yeah, you're really…cool, Queen Elsa," Rainbow Dash joked, earning groans and eyerolls from most of the present company. "But I'm still cooler."
Rarity bowed to the two sisters. "A true pleasure to meet you both. Oh and Elsa, darling. Please consider my offer. I'm sure you and I could become the greatest designers in Equestria. And maybe consider the castle too…"
Twilight sighed before bowing to Elsa and Anna. "Goobye, your majesties. Oh, and Queen Elsa. If you're still interested in reading those books I recommended…"
"I would love to, Twilight Sparkle," Elsa smiled.
"G-goodbye," Fluttershy said with a sweet smile. Anna couldn't resist and gave Fluttershy a hug. The Pegasus pony happily returned it.
"One last thing before we go!" Rainbow Dash declared before she suddenly shot up into the sky. Elsa was about to ask the others what the Pegasus pony was doing, Rainbow Dash began picking up speed in the air. Suddenly she moved so fast that she created a massive sound like an explosion in the sky. Not only that, but she somehow managed to create a rainbow shockwave.
"A Sonic Rainboom!" Pinkie bounced up and down happily.
"Wow," Anna breathed as Rainbow flew back to their ship, creating a rainbow trail in her wake.
"Beautiful," Elsa whispered as she gazed at the rainbow.
"Yeah, it's awesome isn't it?" Rainbow Dash smugly asked, puffing her chest out.
"Quite a display, Rainbow Dash," Celestia complimented.
"Well, I figured we might as well leave in style," Rainbow Dash explained to the princess.
Celestia nodded before looking back at Elsa. "I look forward to discussing business with you in the future, Queen Elsa. And who knows, maybe one day you can come to Equestria."
"Maybe," Elsa smiled.
And so, Celestia and her ponies cast off. They were all still waving goodbye as their ship sailed off into the distance.
"Well," Anna said once the ship was out of sight. "That was certainly interesting. Fun though. I'm glad to have found someone…or rather somepony, who shares our love of chocolate."
Elsa giggled at that. "And I'm glad we found a worthy trading partner in place of Weselton."
Anna nodded in agreement. "With their abilities and your magic, I think things are gonna be even more fun." Then she remembered something. "You never did make Pinkie Pie that snowpony."
Elsa chuckled sheepishly. "Ooops."
