Happy made it to the square right on time. The Princess was just begining to talk. He would have been there earlier if he didn't have to wait for the cupcakes he was making to finish baking before he could leave. The red Earth Pony sat quietly with a smile on his face as the princess made her speech. Normally, Happy wasn't good at sitting still listening to speeches. but thankfully, this one was actually interesting, and not long. His hooves were still fidgeting around a little though. He was ready to start the adventure now. It wasn't everyday an aspiring baker from Ponyville got the chance to explore the lands beyond Equestria. That was why Happy had volunteered for this in the first place. Who wouldn't want to be part of a cool adventure like that?

The speech was over rather quickly, at which point, a gaurd called out all of the names of all the groups, and who was on them. "Aw, Clipper team huh? Alrighty, then!" So, while humming a cheerful tune, a took a leisurely stroll there. On his way to library, he made a pitstop to his house to get his bag of supplies, and a box containing some of the dozen chocolate cupcakes with pink frosting he had prepared earlier in the day. They should have finished cooling off by now. Everyone enjoyed baked goods, and he was sure the other members of his team would appreciate it.

When he got there, he found out he was the last to arrive. There were a few other ponies, a griffon, a Zebra, a deer, as well as Princess Twilight Sparkle herself there waiting for him. All of them appeared to be older than he was. He hoped he'd be able to get along with all these ponies. Still keeping the smile on his face, he approached the group. "Hi guys! My name is Happy Golucky!" The Earth Pony exclaimed happily. "Sorry I'm late!" He then pulled out the box of cupcakes from his pink saddlebag, opened it, and set them out in front of him. "I brought cupcakes for everyone! Anyway, I'm happy to be here! Let's get this thing started huh?"
