Some quests are all sugar and nice... Others, are not...

“What in tarnation is this supposed to mean Twilight?” Applejack said confused as Twilight was done reading the letter.
“As the letter stated Applejack, we need to go to the Castle for an audience with both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.” Nopony could believe it, the normally detailed letters from the Princesses, are all so vague now.
“What should we do? Go, or stay?” asked Rarity.
“I say we go, they want to see us, so we can not dissapoint them right?” said Rainbow Dash.
“Oh! Maybe a surprise party! Wait a minute, why am I not making that party then?” said Pinkie with her usual joyful voice. Fluttershy just giggled a little when she heard that.
“Well, it looks like we don’t have much of a choice do we?” said Twilight as she looked through her living room and saw her friends sitting there. “Saddle up, we are going to Canterlot, today.” she added.
Everypony saddled up with some necessary things and met Twilight by the train station. “Everypony ready?” she asked. Applejack nodded and entered.
“Ready as I will ever be Twilight.” said Rainbow while she landed and entered the train.
“I am ready as well. Oh, don’t tell me I forgot...” said Rarity, but before she could go back, Pinkie pushed her in the train.
“She will be alright Twilight.” Finally Fluttershy showed up just before the train left, she entered and Twilight went in as well.
The six friends always took this train, but every time they entered, it felt so magical to them. This was supposedly because of the breathtaking valley the windows had to offer. Eventually the train came to a halt at the palace. Naturally, Rainbow Dash was the first to exit the train. After Fluttershy came out last, the gang was on their way into the palace without a word.
“Princess Celestia! Princess Luna! We are here, what do you wish of us?” Twilight entered the throne room only to see Princess Celestia with a very serious look beside a newly constructed throne to match Princess Luna’s mane.
“Oh Twilight! And your friends came! Very well. Dear sister, would you enlighten the subject to them?” Princess Celestia seemed too concentrated to speak, so Princess Luna did it for her.
“Alright then. Everypony, thou have a very serious mission thou must face. As thou knoweth, an outbreak in population has occurred.”
”Luna is right, and we can’t hold all of these ponies in a contained space. This is what I ask of you six: Heed my words and search for more land so we may expand our home. Hurry along now, for we are counting on you.”
And in an instant, the six friends bowed gracefully. “Yes, your highness's...” They trotted out of the throne room talking about where they should look first.
“Ooooh! Are we going to party with new ponies far away? I’m going to need more cake!” Pinkie Pie obviously took the mission the wrong way.
“Uh... Pinkie, I don’t think that’s what the mission- nevermind.” Rainbow Dash is a bit annoyed.
“I hope there is going be some quality landscapes out there...” Rarity spoke up.
“Quality? Hah! Sugarcube, land is land. I just hope there’s going to be apple trees as far as the eye could see!” Applejack said as she couldn't hold herself any longer.
“Oh trees are wonderful...” replied Fluttershy.
“Let’s go everypony!” The gang was boarding the train again, ready for adventure.
Meanwhile in the throne room, the two princesses are getting worried. “Big sister...will they be alright? You of all ponies should know what’s out there...”
“Yes Luna, I know what’s beyond our town... I’m sure if they have each other they can do it...” Princess Celestia glances through the door with a worried expression as the head guard closes it.
“But that look tells me otherwise...” said Luna when the door closed.
