Choices, choices...
[/hr]
Princess Celestia had agreed to advertise the fact that her own student, Princess Twilight Sparkle, was looking for a student of her own. Word spread quickly, and that word reached all of her friends. All of them had approved in their own way. Pinkie Pie, of course, had thrown a party.
Later on, though, Twilight had scrapped the idea of interviewing her potential students. Though it was more organized, she had decided that it would be far easier and faster to choose based on what she noticed about ponies that she met. The purpose of the advertising was solely to let everypony know, and, perhaps, have them on their best behavior.
Princess Celestia had decided to help too, and did some searching of her own, rooting out all of the potentials and sending them to Twilight. The purple mare had rejected the few that Celestia had already sent her. None of them had seemed fit enough for the position, Twilight had thought.
Three days later, after all of this, Twilight was still student-less. She had actually considered trying Trixie, but nopony knew where she could be found. None of the school fillies were old enough either, which unfortunately meant excluding Sweetie Belle. Twilight would have liked to take her.
So, here we find Twilight, in her library, still searching for a potential student. It was dark out, the crickets were chirping and the lightning bugs were flying about, little specks of light in the dim light of Luna's moon.
"Ugh..." Twilight rested her chin on her desk in defeat. Her eyes found their way up out of the window and at the moon and stars.
Spike looked up from a paper he was writing.
"Twi'? You alright?"
The purple alicorn just sighed and said, "Yes, I'm fine. Just a bit overwhelmed. I had no idea that finding a personal student would be this hard..."
Spike scratched a scale on his head while he thought for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes widened and one would not have found it very difficult to imagine a lightbulb appearing over the top of his head.
"Twilight!"
Twilight looked back towards the sound of her assistant's voice and then back to the wall.
"What is it?"
"I have an idea! Did the Princess limit you on where you could look?"
Twilight's brow furrowed in thought, then she lifted her head from the wooden surface of her desk and turned to Spike.
"What are you suggesting, Spike?"
"What I'm suggesting Twilight, is that you look somewhere not in Equestria!"
Twilight clicked. That...was not a bad idea at all. The purple mare smiled down at her assistant.
"Say, Spike, that's a pretty good idea!"
Then she sulked a bit again.
"But that just means a lot more ponies the sift through..."
A necessary workload. She needed to find a student soon.
"Well...where do you suggest?"
"Well, let's see. There's Germaney, there's Gryphus-"
"Princess said no Gryphons; to war-like."
"Oh, okay, well then there's Caneighda, Glascow, Ibex..."
"Meh..."
"Oh, and Stalliongrad!"
Twilight perked up. Stalliongrad huh...? A smile grew across her face. She hopped from her chair and beamed.
"Uh, Twi'? What're you doing?"
"Pack your bags, Spike, we're going to Stalliongrad!"

Dear Princess Celestia:
I am writing to inform you that Spike and I will be searching for a student elsewhere. Stalliongrad, to be exact. If there is some reason that you do not want me to go there, write now, for I am already packing.
-Twilight Sparkle

Dear Princess Twilight
First off, from now on I suggest you sign your letters as "Princess Twilight Sparkle." It is a tradition and you need to get into the habit.
Next, I have no objections to you taking a trip to Stalliongrad. In fact, I am pleased that you are willing to broaden your horizons. There are just a few things about the nation you must know before heading out. Stalliongrad is quite different than Equestria. They are militaristic and can come across as gruff and rude, Do not let that foal you, for the Stalliongradi are actually quite a hospitable group of ponies and are always willing to help there "comrades". I have sent a letter to the Prime Minister to let him prepare for your arrival.
You must also know that Stalliongrad has been at war with the Nazi State of Germaney, No this war isn't in any of your books and i never taught you about it because it has not come to effect our country, Equestria has and will remain neutral so don't let the Prime Minister talk to you about the war. Crime at Stalliongrad is also significantly higher than in Equestria due to a majority of the police and guards being out on the front, so as a precaution I have also dispatched a pair of my own personal guards to keep you safe.
Always remember Twilight that the Stalliongradi ponies are quite hospitable, nice, and most can be trusted. They are all very patriotic as well. But beware, they are much more war-like. And be wary of thieves.
Best of Luck and with love,
-Princess Celestia.
Twilight rolled up her scroll in thought. That was interesting. And she was excited to meet her bodyguards.
"Twilight, do we have to go now?"
"Yes, Spike, I need to find a new student as soon as possible."
The purple-green dragon only moaned in response.
"Don't worry, you can take a nap on the train."
The baby dragon perked up and began to pack.
Soon, as expected, there was a heavy knock at Twilight's door. She went over and opened the heavy oak piece with her magic. Two guards looked at her and smiled. One was noticeably bigger, but not by much. He was obviously older and more experience as well. The other, smaller and a younger face.
The large one spoke, "Greetings, your majesty, I am Captain Ironhoof, and this is Private Golden Justice. We are to be your bodyguards for the following trip to Stalliongrad," His voice was low, and quite majestic-sounding, actually.
They both bowed and Twilight invited them in to wait for Spike to finish packing. It did not take long and soon they were all on the night train, on their way to the great Motherland of Stalliongrad.
Aw, I wanted her to choose Sweetie Belle.
yay shes going into Stalliongrad to find a student that will bring communism back to the princesses and remake the whole Country for the people but anyway nice to read it so far

Hehe, no, it won't go that far. But I will be posting a spinoff from this story about Stalliongradi's war with Germaney.
2271919 Yay war agains the nazi empire Vs The communist republic of the motherland!!!
2271911 Of course comrade
"I have an idea! Did the Princess tell limit to where you could look?"
This should be
"I have an idea! Did the Princess limit you on where you could look?" or "I have an idea! Did the Princess limit you on where you could look?"
This is where my main gripe comes in
Dear Princess Twilight
First off, from now on you will sign your letters as "Princess Twilight Sparkle." It is tradition.
Next, I have no objections to you taking a trip to Stalliongrad. In fact, In am glad that you are willing to broaden your horizon. I just have a bit of advice. Stalliongrad is quite different than Equestria. They are a lot more militaristic (though nowhere near as close as the Gryphons) and can come across as gruff. Do not let that foal you, for the Stalliongradi are actually quite a hospitable group of ponies. I have sent a letter to the Prime Minister to let them know of your arrival.
Also, a warning. You do not know this, but Stalliongrad is locked in a biter war with the Nazi State of Germaney as we speak. You did not know this because I prefer mentions of war not to find their way into the peaceful kingdom of Luna and I. Crime there is also significantly higher then here, so I have also dispatched a pair of bodyguards to keep you safe.
In summary, the Stalliongradi ponies are quite hospitable, nice, and most can be trusted. They are all very patriotic as well. But beware, they are much more war-like. And be wary of thieves
Best of Luck,
-Princess Celestia.

DON'T MENTION THE WAR!!
is it just me, or is this equestria just one mind-controlling organization away from being the new Ba-Sing-Se?
"there is no war in the walls of equestria."
I bet her new student would have a large, fluffy moustache.
THis is probably a stupid question but what real country is Stalliongrad?
Good Story by the way
"Princess said no Gryphons; war-like."
too

their
No this war isn't in any of your books and never taught you about it because it has not come to our country
Effect is the noun while affect is the verb.
A little too much information that parallels human history. Celestia couldn't censor a war happening in a neighboring country that easily and I think she would at least try to protect all ponies of the world. I think you should remove that Germaney is a Nazi party unless they actually have the same values.
