The appearance of a giant, glowing orb of energy in Washington D.C. puts the capital of the free world on high alert. Few expected aliens to emerge. None expected them to be horses. But, in retrospect, everyone should have expected them to not speak English.

Yay! First view!

What's dis?
The Abrams has a gas turbine engine, not a diesel engine. Therefore, it does not roar. Immersion ruined /s.
Brilliant story though.

It roars if you attach a subwoofer and start blasting a deep-fried version of ‘Fortunate Son’ tho
9747514
Man, I'm an Abrams loader and yes they do roar when they are running, they are fucking loud as hell.
Huh, I was hoping for a second but from the ponies' POV, where it turns out, that "Friendship" means something entirely different.
Still, kinda fun
9747535
Oh, I don't doubt the loudness. In videos of it, the turbine noise just doesn't sound like a roar to me. Perhaps the experience is different in person.
9747519
Oh no.
Turns out Friendship really is Magic (and universal).
Loved the story. Would totally go for a sequel. Cadance needs a chance to gush over the adorable monkey aliens.
Luna gives best uwu.
Makes me wonder if Equestrian Magic slowly translates. Makes me imagine Sunset Shimmer wander around CHS for weeks while everyone though she was nuts cause she spoke gibberish.
Moody Luna yes!

Okay, I need answers! Was that an actual, albeit “modified” language that the ponies were speaking, or did you just make it up?
They should all count themselves lucky that the horses and apes use the same set of phonemes. Imagine if the ponies spoke Houyhnhnm.
Delightful bit of PoE silliness. Thank you for it.
9747648
Possible, though goodness knows she had enough trouble panicking over the seasons changing on their own, finding hay inedible, figuring out fingers, and other adjustments.
How do I get out of this chicken-shit outfit?
Poor Sergeant Apone. Load those horses into bay 12, please.

My Little Aliens: Friendship is Universal. Nice story with no interdimensional wars in sight. And, I think that was supposed to be a caricature of Trump? It's so hard to tell sometimes. Oh well, hugs are nice.
(Me, reading this story):
"Huh, a story featuring the US Government? I wonder if Don- No, he can't be in this. There's no way they'd go there..."
"...Oh."
Great story, BTW.
I always imagined trying to start communication by using something that is universal, like math! Using a basic tally mark system one could demonstrate abd show basic examples of counting and basic arithmetic. Use basic math as a working protocol to establish a better protocol!
OMG, I was already sold halfway through.. Then you pulled out the owo and I just died.

Completely made up! But, it’s internally consistent- ie, the words (at least of the pony language) mean things, and if you pay very close attention to context you can piece together a mini-lexicon!
Uh oh, looks like they have invisible WMDs! Time to go to war!

“How many horse-meetings is this for you, Lieutenant?”
“Thirty-eight...simulated.”
“How many real life horse meetings?”
“Uh, two...including this one.”
9747855
Welp, this is awkward...
9747941
Oh no...
Can anybody translate?
I don't speak magic horse.. thing.
9747950
I say the take off, and friendship blast the entire site from orbit.
uhhh
It’s the only way to be sure!
Why do I feel a sequel would work out well for this?
Also, loved it.

It is considered superior to explain a downvote. Thus:
Unfortunately I find I need to downvote this otherwise enoyable for its semi-quasi-realistism, peice due to the implication of Luna having casual sex with some of her guards.
In Love and Tolerance,
Draco Dei

Who ever said it was sex? I don’t do lewd, sir.
Stories, where there's a language barrier, are always my favorites.
Absolute kek.
9748300
If you didn't want to imply it, you should have worded differently.
9748295
Categorical Grant is 100% consensual snuggle with no lewds, Sir!
9748393
I didn't imply it. Ever heard the cliche that 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder'?
UwU
I believe this is termed ‘Kawai’.
Nice. Nuking Iran is always a good choice.

I mean, the definition of the non-ponified counterpart, "boy toy" often implies a bit more. While yes, it can refer to less... interesting actions, the connotation is there. While it's not something I'd throw a hissy fit over, you have to realize that a large portion of your audience will take the more common connotation.
Your later scene with Luna hugging the guard clears it up a lot more, but before that, that's all we have to go on.
Honestly, with lines like these, I have no idea how it is that Luna was ever less popular then her sister.
This whole thing reminded me of a first contact scene I once wrote in an original work of mine, First Contacts Suck. The premise of the story was that nearly the entire thing was told from the alien perspective rather than the human one...and I had a little fun with some common first contact tropes.
Oh, it was set in 1935 Italy, partially because it amused me to have Enrico Fermi meet aliens.
9748295
Well done for taking the time to explain a downvote!
9748300
To be fair, "boy toy" probably has different meanings based on culture.
Where I'm from, boy toy DEFINATELY means more than just snuggles.
That said, liked and favourited!
American politics at it's finest, ladies and gentlemen.
Well, that was... different.
(Of course it was a complete fantasy. There was no mention of D.C.'s never ending humidity.)
I doubt that every single race in Equestria naturally speaks the same language - it'd be like every nation here speaking English - so surely the two sisters would've learned how to get past the language barrier by now; what with having to set up friendly relations with minotaurs, gryphons, seaponies and more back in the 'medieval' days.
This needs sequels. More sequels. We have to know what happens next. The ending is too much of a cliff hanger!

Googling "boy toy definition" shows that, when in reference to a male, most if not all the definitions imply or state a sexual relationship, which doesn't automatically mean doing it, but is almost certainly lewd.
I don't think it matters much to the story, people can interpret it either way without misunderstanding the plot, but my first thought was of the lewd definition and then considering that it might mean something less lewd in the context of ponies and might be a joke of innuendo, which I would assume to be intentional? If you seriously didn't realize the connotation, I'd be surprised, but language is complicated and such mistakes happen to everyone. People can have whole conversations without realizing that they are talking about completely different things.

By the time of the Sisters, translations or trade languages probably already existed. The ponies had established Equestria before Celestia and Luna's rule.
1. SO EFFIN CUTE I CANT
2. I NEED MORE
Was all set to add to faves until the moldy pumpkin appeared. 90% great story.
I would think that the ponies would make horse sounds instead of some readable language. That would really have been fun trying to get them to understand each other. Haha!
