Riding through the streets of the capitol city, Kirk saw all the things that made this place what it was. They had sweet shops, spas, saunas, bath houses, soda shops, markets, hotels, and the occasional pawn shop. All the inhabitants were ponies or some other creature from Greek or Roman mythology. Kirk saw unicorns, pegasi, minotaurs, and a few dragons. Then, he saw the castle. This thing was massive. The grandest thing was that the roof was covered in a layer of 24Kt gold leaf and obsidian.
"So, what's the name of the town we're in right now, Applejack?" He said.
"Right now, we're in Canterlot, capitol city of the Equestrian empire." She said.
Applejack stopped the cart in the parking lot outside the Canterlot Castle and walked the 4 Starfleet officers into the throne room. Inside Princess Celestia was talking to a man in what looked to be Klingon armor. Kirk waits till they are done and then asks the man who he is. The man turns around and Kirk instantly recognizes him.
"Ah. Captain Kirk!" He said. "I see you decided to show."
"Captain Koloth? What are you doing here?" Kirk said to him.
"Same thing as you. Trying to get this planet to join our society, Captain Kirk."
"Well, they're not going to."
Celestia looked at Kirk and replied to his comment with a simple,
"What makes you say that? By what Koloth is saying, the Klingon empire sounds like a really good idea. But, I will allow you to explain your side to try and get me to join the... uhh..."
"Federation, Ma'am."
"Well-mannered. I respect that."
Koloth scoffed, believing she didn't want Kirk at all.
"Alright. For one, we speak the same language." Kirk said.
"Yeah, so does the Klingon empire." Celestia replied.
"Well, we also write in the same language."
Celestia nodded, then, she told Kirk,
"Well, the Klingons didn't crash their starship on our planet."
Kirk started to say something but, Spock ushered him to stop because he couldn't say anything in persuasive form.
"The Klingons are a warlike race thriving on the conquest of other races. One of their main targets is the Federation. We, the Federation, strive to help other civilizations prosper their societies to mature and grow to help them better protect themselves. The Federation's worthiness cannot be underestimated, Princess." Spock continued.
"What's your name, elf?" Celestia asked.
"Elf? Hardly, Princess. I am a Vulcan. My name is Spock."
"Alright, Spock. I am trying to find my mother. I like your captain, he seems...nice so, I will give you a quest. If you can find out where my mother went to, I will consider joining the Federation. As of right now, my loyalty falls with the Klingons."
Kirk, Spock and McCoy, and Chekhov walked out of the throne room and back into the harsh sunlight. They caught the last train back to Ponyville and walked to the crash site of the Enterprise. No hope of getting this planet to join the Federation. No hope of at least getting off this planet. That's when Uhura gave the crew hope. She runs up to Kirk and says,
"Sir! I powered up the console just long enough to get this transmission."
"Well, what does it say?" Kirk replied.
"Starfleet command has lost the transmission beacon from the U.S.S. Enterprise. We have sent out the U.S.S. Endurance-Miranda class starship to her last known position. Will be advising Endurance to use caution due to possibility of Klingons in that area."
Kirk turned to Chekhov and said,
"Chekhov, where on this ship could we find Celestia's mother's location?"
