East-Exit campaign rallies occurred all over the eastern cities all supporting leaving the Kingdom of Equestria.
"We are not represented as much as the central cities and that needs to end now! We decide what's best for our city! Not Canterlot, Not Ponyvillie, Not Cloudsdale, No one but us!" The Mayor said at a rally.
The Mayor needed to get 2,500 signatures to get East-Exit on the ballot. So he went all around the city asking ponies to sign the form.
"Hi, would you like to sign this petition to amend the city's constitution so we can leave Equestria?" The Mayor said as he went up to a pony.
"Uh, sure thing." The pony replied as he wrote down his signature.
"Thank you! Have a great day!" The Mayor said.
"You too." The pony replied.
The word spread quickly around Equestria about the East-Exit campaign. In Ponyvillie the mane 6 reacted to this campaign while sitting in the throne room.
"East-Exit? What in tarnation is that?" Applejack said.
"I'm not too sure but it seems that the Eastern cities want to leave Equestria." Twilight responded.
"But why would they want to do that?" Applejack asked.
"I don't know but we need to go check it out." Twilight said.
"I'll tag along." Rainbow Dash said.
"Oooo ooooo can I go too?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"Sure thing." Twilight replied.
"How about me too?" Fluttershy asked.
"You know what? Why don't all of you tag along?" Twilight said.
"Of course Twilight." Rarity said.
"Alright let's go." Twilight said while exiting the throne room.
The mane 6 then headed to the train station and boarded a train to Baltimare. Once arriving they were shocked at the sites they saw.
"What is going on here!" Twilight said as she looked around the train station.
The train station had all of the Equestrian Flags crossed out and all mentionings of "Equestria" have been crossed out. A sign on the wall said "Baltimare, Equestria". The only remnant of Equestria at the station was the Equestrian flag that flew outside.
"Ok, looks like they are serious about this "East-Exit" thing." Raimbow Dash said.
"Odd, what would make them want to do this?" Twilight asked.
"I don't know but I guess we're about to find out." Applejack replied.
"Ok, first let's head to the mayor's office and see what this is all about." Twilight said as she walked out of the station.
They then headed towards the Mayor office and during their journey they got stopped by protesters.
The protesters started to chant "No more Equestria! No more Equestria!" One protester yelled: "Go back home Equestrian Princess!"
"We are just trying to get to the Mayors office! We don't mean to get in the way!" Twilight yelled.
"Get outta here Princess, no Equestrians welcome here!" One protester said.
The protesters then starting surrounding them but before they got close, Twilight used her magic to teleport the mane 6 away from the crowd. They appeared a few dozen feet away from the crowd and booked it for the Mayor's office.
"What was that all about?" Rainbow dash while flying next to her.
"I don't know rainbow! But we need to find the Mayor fast!" Twilight said out of breath as she and the others ran.
The Mane 6 arrive at the mayor's office and buzz the door.
"Hello? How can I help you?" Melody asked through the speaker.
"Hello, we need to speak to the Mayor ASAP!" Twilight said.
"Who is this?" Melody asked.
"It's Twilight! Ya know, the Princess of Friendship?" Twilight replied.
"Oh sorry, the Mayor isn't here right now." Melody said.
"Do you know when he will be back?" Twilight said.
"I'm not sure but come on in so I can help you out untill he gets back." Melody said.
Melody then pushed a button to unlock the door remotely and let the Mane 6 in.
"What exactly is it that you need to see the Mayor for? Melody asked.
"We need to talk about the East-Exit campaign. Where is the Mayor now?" Twilight said.
"He's at a rally for East-Exit." Melody responded.
"Where is this being held?" Twilight asked.
"The Downtown area." Melody said.
"Ok thank you!" Twilight said as she and the others walked out of the office.
The Mane 6 started to head towards downtown and during the trip they were signs everywhere advertising the East-Exit campaign.
"This is so weird, why is this even going on?" Twilight said.
"Well, I don't know but I'm worried to find out." Rainbow Dash replied.
The Mane 6 then arrive at the rally downtown to see the Mayor speaking at the podium.
"And to conclude, we can make Baltimare better than ever! Vote Yes on leaving the Kingdom!" The Mayor said to the crowd.
The crowd began to cheer and chant "East-Exit! East-Exit!"
The Mayor then stepped down off the stage into the back. The Mane 6 follows him and went backstage as well.
"Excuse me? Mr. Mayor, we need to talk." Twilight said.
"Oh hey, Princess Twilight. What is it that we need to talk about?" The Mayor responded.
"It's about this whole, East-Exit thing. What exactly caused this?" Twilight said.
"Well ya see, after this new EPD Act we have had to give our land so we can look like a military wasteland! It's putting fear into the ponies and not helping! It's just a waste of space and money to put something that isn't needed." The Mayor said.
"Well, ya kinda have a point." Applejack said.
"Mr. Mayor you can't just leave because this silly little thing, we are need protection. So could you possibly call this thing off and let's unite once again." Twilight said with a nervous smile.
"Call it off?..... Well why do you call this EPD off?" The Mayor said annoyed.
"But sir we can't..." Twilight was interrupted.
"Ok that's it why don't you leave? Ok? Just go." The Mayor said in an angry way.
"But Mr...." Twilight was stopped again.
"GO!" The Mayor yelled.
"Ok, we'll go." Twilight says before walking out.
"Come on girls, let's go." Twilight said.
"Ok." They all said sadly.
They then exit the stage and head to the train station.
"But Twilight, what will we do?" Rarity asked concerned.
"Nothing." Twilight replied.
"Huh? Why not?!" Rainbow dash said.
"It won't happen, even if they get a majority vote we will still have to let them go." Twilight said.
"I guess you're right." Rainbow dash said.
"Besides, even if they did successfully left, they wouldn't do anything bad, what could go wrong?" Twilight said nervously.
The Mane 6 then entered the train and went back to Ponyvillie.
Meanwhile the Mayor was back at his office.
"Unbelievable, they want us to call it off?" The Mayor said while pacing around.
"Well, sir it's their decision they do rule over us." Melody said.
"No, no, they can't! We need to hurry and get our Constitution amended now." The mayor said in denial.
"Sir listen, none of that will matter because to leave we need their permission! We can't secede, we need them. It's the law of the kingdom that we need to follow." Melody said.
"A law huh? Well, laws can be broken." The Mayor said with a smirk.
