This story is a sequel to What's Your Problem?
Knowledge of the original isn’t required, but you should go read it anyway, because it’s good. :V
[ Dramatic Character Study of the Exchange Students and their Homelands ]
With the second semester of Princess Twilight Sparkle’s school of Friendship in full swing, a series of field trips is planned to foreign nations.  Specifically, the home countries of the five non-pony exchange students. These will be both a gesture of goodwill on all sides, and a chance for the various cultures to be exposed to each other first hoof, claw, and talon.
Follow Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, Smolder, Silverstream, and Sandbar as they continue to mature while learning about the countries their friends come from.
This is my second long-form story on here, meant to be a deeper exploration of the Student 6 and their homelands. Expect a lot of soft world-building and minor character development, and if you get any ideas for your own fanfictions from all this exploration, good for you! :3
The arcs, in tentative order, will go through...
- The Hive (Changelings)
- Mount Aris (Hippogriffs)
- The Dragon Lands (Dragons)
- Yakyakistan (Yaks)
- Griffonstone (Griffons)
There will also be interludes which explore the Young Six and other students, with more detailed character development / analysis than the first one.
