This was cut from the beginning of politics because it just didn’t seem to fit with the eventual war and the issue of magic on Earth

Dear Princess Celestia of Equestria,
You are cordially invited to a weekend at Camp David to meet with President Margarette Tow and discuss the delicate political climate between Earth and Equestria and to work on building the peace.
Margarette Tow was walking through the woods of Camp David and wearing her traditional black business suit. The red accents from the suit complimented her red hair and contrasted with her green eyes. She put her right hand into the pocket of her business suit and fingered the small gem resting there. The gem had a tracking spell in it that worked like a gps locator. The gem had been in a letter from Celestia in response to the formal invitation that was sent the week before.
Dear President Margarette Tow,
I will gladly meet you this weekend at your chosen location. Inside you will find a small gem. This gem will work as a locator device, as it has already been activated please send it to wherever you would like us to meet. Knowing how you would prefer secrecy, this is a more appropriate method than travel by any other means.
Sincerely,
Princess Celestia of Equestria
President Tow figured it would be some sort of teleportation that Celestia would be using. Her assets in Equestria had returned reports about the purple one, Twilight Sparkle, teleporting if she was in a hurry. It only made sense that it was her teacher that had passed it on. As the time approached, President Tow pulled the small purple gem out of her pocket and set it on the ground. She then stepped back just in case it was an elaborate trap.
The President of the United Sates was nervous because their last meeting hadn’t been the smoothest of affairs and practically ended in a fight between two of the dignitaries. But that was needed to assess their personalities and to better judge how they would react. Tow reminded herself. And it kept the more emotional one out of Earth politics. The elder sister at least knows how to play the game properly.
After another minute of waiting a small white glow began to develop above the purple gem. With a bright flash that was muted by the noonday sun, the Goddess of Equestria’s sun appeared in front of the President of the United States, the sun reflected off of her golden regalia of office and white coat and wings. “Good morning President Tow.” Celestia greeted and looked around at the bright green trees, and the cement path that led through them. They have their own ways. Their cities aren’t that much different than ours, and this place is more like a sanctuary to rest in. And Celestia did enjoy the gentle breeze that was in the air.
Celestia’s deep purple eyes scanned the area, spotting several guards carrying rifles. The Diarch of the Day would have liked to scan the area for any other life, but the magical aura of her horn would announce it to everybody and might frighten the men with guns. Celestia had seen both Lyra’s and Aquatica’s reports of what even small guns were capable of. If only Luna would have informed of her plans beforehoof. But is this how they generally operate? She had to ask herself, knowing full well what kind of a threat she could appear as. That was the main reason she hadn’t invited any of the humans to the Summer Sun Celebration earlier in the year.
President Tow observed the alicorn watching the trees and doubtlessly spotting the marines scattered about. This is technically a naval base though. As long as she doesn’t see the snipers it should be fine. Tow did not like having to deal with beings that were supposedly immortal and very powerful, neither did the people whose job was to protect her. “Would you care to take a walk while we talk?” The President enquired, “It will be a perfect opportunity to get some fresh air.”
Celestia nodded her head once, letting her counterpart lead the way. As they walked, several of the armed humans followed behind the pair, observant but not showing any sign of hostility or aggression. “You humans sure do start building rather quickly, don’t you?” She stated, referring to the human workers that were already transporting materials through the portal to construct both the embassy and the ambassadors living quarters.
President Tow gave a slight nod. “Yes, the portal is not big enough to transport machinery across into Equestria so they need longer to build the facilities.” That and time constraints, Brent can’t be kept in the dark forever and eventually this will have to go to the Senate Oversight Committee and to go over the budget required. Not to mention having to create a subcommittee in the committee for foreign affairs.
“If you like,” Celestia offered, “I can have some unicorns assist you in the construction, just in lifting heavy objects.” President Tow looked thoughtful.
“No. You must know of Earth’s history. Congress will have a fit if they found out.” The President explained. And would let you see one or two secrets. “However,” a smile crossed her lips. “There is a movie director you may want to meet. He specializes in the emotional pieces. It would help humans to feel they understand you.”
