The next morning, the Inkstar’s crew got together with their cameras and notebooks to begin their tour of Equus. Twilight started off by giving them a tour of Ponyville and her castle. Lizzie was impressed by Rarity’s creativity when designing outfits at her boutique, and Taylor was amazed by how Applejack was able to harvest apples by only kicking the trees with her back hooves. 

Canterlot was a very beautiful place to visit. When they met Celestia and Luna, everyone knelt on the carpet as an act of politeness. 

“Welcome to Equus. We have waited for the past 4 years to meet you before retiring.”, said both princesses.

“Your world is a very beautiful place, Your Majesties.”, said Iris with a warm smile.

After telling the princesses about themselves, the crew members wished them a happy retirement before going to visit more regions in Equestria. In Cloudsdale, everyone got to meet the Wonderbolts and tour the weather factory as well as seeing where Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy went to school. 

Many of the other areas, such as Yakyakistan, Seaquestria, Griffonstone, and the Dragon Lands were interesting places to see. Seaquestria was the only area where they had to put on scuba gear and swim underwater, but they had no problem with it. 

At the Crystal Empire, Flurry Heart gave them the tour herself since Cadence and Shining Armor were preoccupied with royal duties that involved training guards and signing off on documents at the time. Later on, they were able to meet the couple and learn about the Crystal Empire’s history, which was very interesting. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves on the tour and loved learning about the history of the world they had come to see with their own eyes.
