I wonder if anyone came out of that silly little thing with new skills? I certainly learned one!

[She vanishes in a cloud of streamers and the sound of a party cannon and pops up at the edge of the screen.]

Wooooooooooo!

[The video starts up and it's...Princess Celestia? Or is it the pirate Celestia that's been here a while?

No, it's a new Celestia, judging by her outfit that's she's wearing. She does not seem too happy. Not at all.]

Hello every... pony. I am in need of some help.

[She wraps a hoof to part of her mane to try to get it to hold still. It was seriously annoying her since her hair didn't do that back home. Why so wavy and shiny?]

I'm Principal Celestia and I need to get back home. Preferably before it closes. I'm not sure how long thirty moons are here exactly and I don't want to worry my students or the vice principal.

[She keeps trying to get her mane still, but this only causes her to fall over. She forces herself up and dusts herself off with a hoof.]

Anyone know of a place where I can get a haircut or a place I can get something to hold this...mane still?

[Sometime after the ponies wake up, scrolls and quills suddenly start raining from the sky. Don't worry, its not the ponypocalypse, its just a squadron of flying white ponies dropping them from above.

Once everyone receives one, the scrolls suddenly glow and come to life, its surface revealing the visage of a large white alicorn with rainbow hair and a golden crown, sitting on a large, velvet-upholstered throne. She has a calm, reassuring, regal smile on her face as she speaks, though those who know her better can see the light of worry and concern in her eyes.]

Good afternoon, newponies! I am Princess Celestia.

I've heard of your arrival in Ponyville and of some of the more interesting stories that have come from it. We're...not certain how this phenomenon has occurred, but we here at the royal castle will put our efforts into solving this mystery, and I hope you will help us out as we wish to help you out!

Rest assured, no harm will come to you. Nor, as some of you have worried, are we holding you against your will. On the contrary, you're free to move about Equestria as you please, be it through Ponyville, Los Pegasus or anywhere in between. I only request that you use the scrolls we have provided you to check in from time to time, so that we know where you might be when we figure out the solution to this current situation.

If you have any questions, you are free to ask them of me. If I am not available - and, I will admit, there are times when I can be quite busy - there are many other ponies willing to help you, including the other princesses of Equestria. We are all in this together, after all.

[And then she smiles a little more. Its a much more relaxed smile. The concern is still there, of course.]

But, in the meantime, I'd also like to get to know all of you! I always like to meet new people, after all. I hear we even have a dragon?
