=/// Downtown Manehattan \\\=

It was 9 AM, Alex can not be more pleased. Not only was the first contact between the Americans and the aliens who called themselves 'Equestrians' went pretty well, but they also allowed them to stay and tour around the city they called 'Manehattan'.

The fact that they let a naval fleet from an entirely new nation to stay in their ports and accept an invitation to come to a meeting at the United Nations Headquarters really surprised him even more.

Everything ended way better than they had originally planned, he and other sailors and personnel in the fleet thought that they would have to spend several months trying to decipher their language and another 2 months initiating diplomacy, and now the 'Equestrians' allowed the opening of diplomatic relations in just one day, making him curious as to what their leader is thinking.

Unfortunately, there are several things that are still bugging his mind, mainly on how they ended up teleporting to Earth. It was scientifically impossible to teleport an entire nation to Earth, it just doesn't make sense! At first, he thought that it was the result of very advanced technology beyond human comprehension and imagination, or maybe some kind of divine intervention from a higher being? He didn't know, sailors in the fleets didn't know, and he sure believed Neil deGrasse Tyson didn't know. He for one believed that scientists around the world would spend centuries solving this anomaly, but for now, the thing he had to do today was return to the fleet and report the results of his encounter with the Equestrians to the American government and the president.

Meanwhile, the other personnel, sailors, and scientist alike will tour around the city accompanied by a member of the Equestrian Royal family (or so he thought), he wonders how, or possibly even why this city can look so similar to New York City, and why is their government still based on absolute monarchy? Isn't that system of government already out-of-date?

He began to fantasize about America starting to spread democracy to alien lands like they did in the Middle East. About how hundreds of M1A2 Abrams and thousands of Humvees and IFVs would roll down the streets and harvest all of those sweet hydrocarbons from the undergound. Oh, such a thought made him giddy with excitement, though not as much as your average patriot.

While he was still fantasizing about America spreading democracy, a member of the Royal family named Twilight Sparkle started to speak to him

"Hello hou-maen, may I ask you a question?" Twilight asked.

"Uhm, actually, it's pronounced 'hyoo-man', but yes, you could ask me a question. It's not like you're going to get in trouble for it." Alex responded back.

"Alright then, first question, can you explain how your government works and what system governing did they adopt?, Also, how about the origin of your country?" Twilight him the question.

Alex Collins began to think of a way to explain to her about the United States and her governing system in a simple, yet informative way. Thankfully, he did indeed have a way to answer her properly. 

"Well, first of all, the United States of America, or commonly known as the United States (U.S. or US) or America, is a country in North America. Our government is a federal republic and it consists of 50 states..." He paused for a moment as Twilight began to ask another question.

"Woah, that's a lot of states! Can you name all of them?"  Twilight Sparkle asked curiously.

Alex began to draw a blank, he didn't remember all 50 states of the US. The only ones he knows are the ones that are well known, like Ohio for example. 

"Uh, lets skip that for now. we can continue your previous question." He responded.

Twilight looked a bit sad about that but quickly nodded back.

"Yeah, sure, we can continue that." She said.

"Anyways, the Federal Government is composed of three distinct branches: legislative, executive, and judicial, whose powers are vested by the U.S. Constitution in the Congress, the President, and the Federal courts. The origins of the United States started with some negativity. It happened when the thirteen former British Colonies disputed with the British Crown over taxation and political representation that eventually led to the American Revolution that lasted throughout 1765–1791 or in simpler terms, it happened 231 years ago." Alex answered back.

"Oh wow, that's really interesting! So your country is based on a form of democracy? How did the republic last that long? Most of the democracies that existed in Equus' history only lasted less than 50 years, and your nation's history is very similar to the United Provinces of Coltlombia." said Twilight.

"Well, we are geographically lucky. We are basically located on a continent protected by two vast oceans and surrounded by... nations not on par with us. About how our democracy can last that long is because of our beliefs in upholding freedom and the constitution, and about our history..." 

Alex began to think about what Twilight said. It can't be, that's such a huge coincidence if it were true.

"Hold on, wait, did you say Coltlombia?" Alex asked.

"Uh, yes, the United Province of Coltlombia was a rebel state that tried to get independence from Equestria in 1213 years ago, In the early 0600 CLD, Princess Celestia ordered establishment of colonies in what's now known as Coltlombia. By 0700 CLD, most of the settlements had formed into 13 Equestrian colonies: Delawire, Georgio, Mareland, Manechusetts, New Hayshire, Neigh York, Uhiu, New Jerrey, Virninia, North Coalina, Fillylvania, Rodhe Island, and South Coalina. The reason why they tried to gain independence from Equestria was because of the high taxation and the lack of political representation and the 'Tea incident' in the city of Bostone." Twilight replied happily, unaware of the sudden revelation she just dropped in front of the now shocked accompanying Americans.

Alex was stunned to hear how similar Coltlombia history was to that of the United States. Also on how its colony could had a similar name to the original 13 American colonies. Alex and his colleague and also the marine who escorted them gave Twilight a what the fuck' look.

"Erggh, is there something wrong?" Twilight asked, a bit concerned of the sudden mood that happened upon the group.

One of the marines stepped up to Twilight and spoke.

"H-how? How could it be so similar? The colony, the c-city, and the 'Tea incident'...?"

"Uh, what do you mean? Are you saying that your nation's history is similar to that of Coltlombia's?" Starlight suddenly asked.

"Yes, everything is very similar, damn near identical! In fact, this city is very similar to Manhattan in our New York City." The marine answered back.

"Oh WOW, that means our world and your world history have some parallels, that explains why the flag raised on your ship is similar to the flag of the United Province of Coltlombia." Twilight concluded.

Twilight then took notes and a quill with telekinesis from her saddle bag and started taking notes about how their world and her's has parallels between each other. Meanwhile, Alex and the marines are suddenly shocked about the sudden use of magic as they had never seen it. Well, they had, but it was all tricks and illusion, right?

"H-holy crap, sir, is that pony writing with a floating quill?" A marine asked.

"Well, marine, I-I don't honestly know..." A higher ranking marine responded back.

"WAIT...h-how did you that?!" Alex stuttered, still not recovered from the sudden magic he and the others witnessed.

Twilight looked at the group of humans, some of their faces still covered with shock, amazement, even some curious looks were directed towards her and her magical aura.

"Errhh, you mean telekinesis? I was just using my magic." Twilight replied.

"WHAT?! You're telling me magic is real?!" Alex exclaimed.

"Uhm, yeah, it's a natural part of life for us ponies. Don't you 'hyoo-mans' have some magic yourself?" Starlight asked, genuinely curious.

"No, we don't have any magic. For us, magic is just a myth and not something real. Well, unless you count those magicians that do tricks and illusions" Alex replied back.

"Hold on, are you saying, your civilization is only based on science alone? That's...really interesting!" Twilight said cheerily. The amount of stuff she's learning is so much with these humans! 

Twilight started to write harder and faster. She now  knows that the American governing system is based on a democracy, the parallels between the history of Equus and Earth are eerily similar, and the most important thing is that their civilization is science based only. 

"Alright, I guess that's enough questions for now, let's get back to the fleet, I have to send a report to the admiral and my superiors back at the US." Alex said to his group and the ponies accompanying them.

Several 'aw's' came from the marine escorts but that quickly was resolved as the higher ranking marine promised them something.

"But wait, I have more questions I have to ask you though. What's the common human diet? How advanced are you 'hyoo-mans'? Is it possible th-" Twilight was suddenly cut off as Alex puts a finger in front of her muzzle as a way to silence her.

"Woah, hold on there, Twilight. You can continue your questions at a later date and I'll do my best to answer said questions, I promise." Alex said.

Twilight simply nodded in response and Alex smiled before putting away his hand from her muzzle.

As their convoy began to make its way back to their destination, Alex couldn't wait to report what he just find out. Starting from the parallel between the history of Equus and existence of magic, actual magic!

With such news, humanity had finally started a new era that is full of the discovery of new knowledge, new inventions and technology, and the greatest of them all, that they are not alone in this vast, yet awesome universe...







=/// Manehattan Harbour \\\=


Admiral Jordy has not felt this frustuarated in his life. At the time of the first contact between the leader of these multi-coloured ponies, they somehow could understand and speak English, but the other ponies, for some odd reason, couldn't understand a sliver of English. He and his crew wanted to ask if they could see the other parts of city, but they looked so scared, with some of them even having hostile attitude towards him and his crew!

What's even worse is that it's been more than 3 hours after the diplomatic team was invited to enter the city for a meeting with their leader. He still didn't get any information from them about how the meeting went and he hoped things would work out peacefully.

Jordy looked back at the deck of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, the crew on board were relaxing and still taking more photos and videos via camera or their personal cellphones to share on social media.

The reason he didn't try to order them to stop was because he didn't see any point of such action, Operation 'Eagle contact' was not some kind of special covert operation or anything like that. In fact, they want to report the results of this operation to the whole world as soon as possible.

Alas, the rest of the world is basically starting to feel at ease after knowing that the aliens didn't intend to attack or invade Earth, but some of the worry is still there. This might be because there are still many unanswered questions, mainly about how, or why, they came to Earth with their entire nation.

After several minutes of staring at the deck and the oddly similar city that's named 'Manehattan', one of the sailors on board came to the bridge and informed Jordy that their diplomatic and marine escorts had returned.

He quickly descended from the bridge to meet the diplomatic team to find out the results of the diplomacy between the American ambassador and the leader of the alien country. After he got off the ship, he could see the diplomatic team and their marine escort coming, accompanied by two small purple and pink ponies.

Jordy also noted the the purple one has horns and wings and the pink one has only horns, he noted that in the back of his mind and he immediately greeted them back to the ship.

"Welcome back to the fleet, ambassador, how was the result of your meeting with these alien ponies?"

"It was great! In fact more than so, they immediately accepted our requests of diplomatic relations, they even let us stay in their harbor to do research in the name of science!"

"That sounds really good, ambassador. Oh, and by the way, did you ask them about how they came to Earth and what happened to Hawaii? Admiral Jordy asked.

"Unfortunately, the answers I got were troubling to say the least. They say some kind of mysterious anomaly they call 'Whiteouts' occured and teleported their continent to Earth. About Hawaii... I am really sad to say this, but I think they either all died because of the anomaly, or they were teleported to the planet where 'Equestria' came from. I can only hope that they are doing alright..." He answered sadly.

"That's unfortunate..." Admiral Jordy responded. Though he may not show much emotion, he was a bit sad about hearing the news. He had a friend back in Hawaii, he could only hope that he was doing alright in the planet where 'Equestria' came from. If it were the former, hopefully he went somewhere nice, he deserved that.

Jordy then realized something. Equestria? The planet they came from? He simply had to ask.

"Hold on, what do you mean by 'Equestria'?"

"That is the name of their country. They say that the land we are currently on is mostly inhabited by ponies. We also got brief knowledge about the history of their country."

"So, what do you think we should do now? Everything is progressing much differently and faster than we originally planned."

"Well, I will report my results and findings to the government and ask for further steps on what to do because their leader said she was interested to come visit the UN headquarters to attend a meeting between global representatives to announce that they are came in peace and have no hostile intentions to any nations on Earth."

Admiral Jordy was relieved to hear such news from Ambassador Alex. Something like this usually had its development slow and tense, he really didn't expect this mission to end so successfully.

"Okay then, but there's something that still confuses me."

"What is it?"

"Well, their leader somehow seems to be able to understand English, but the other ponies in the port for some reason don't understand any word we say."

"Oh, I think it's because I didn't cast my universal translation spell on them." Twilight suddenly answered behind the Admiral.

"Universal what?" Jordy asked with confusion. He did hear that correctly, right?

"It's a new magic spell I developed a few days ago. The spell is capable of translating unknown languages ​​instantaneously." Twilight replied proudly.

Twilight then quickly took the language spell book that she kept in her saddle bag, The admiral really looked taken aback by that, not only was this creature able to make manipulate objects to the point where they float in the air, but also because they can translate any human language in an instant.

"Wait, so that's magic too?" Alex asked.

"Yes, I wouldn't blame you 'hyoo-mans' for being surprised since this isn't actually the first time we've come into contact with a magicless civilization." Twilight replied.

Not all races in Equus were able to do magic. Out of the 2.5 billion creatures that live in Equus, only 1/4 of them were able to do magic without the help of a magic tool, and most of them are ponies. That is why the ponies were able to become the most dominant creatures on Equus. Their great magical abilities and also their leader is basically an immortal goddess.

"Okay, that explains a lot of things, I guess this is the reason why they were able to build a modern city with just a hoof." Jordy said

"Yes, I really couldn't believe it to know that magic actually exists, I'm sure the scientists on the ship would be drooling from the mouth just trying to learn about it."

"Wait, so you brought scientists on board to?" Twilight asked.

"Yes, as we said, our intentions to come here is to open diplomatic relations between whatever nation we encountered, that being yours. We would also research in the sanem of science and logic. They will be genuinely interested in learning the biology, behavioural habits, and culture of your species. The only thing preventing them from starting their current reserch is the language barrier issue as the ponies at the harbor don't understand English." Jordy answered.

"Oh, don't worry about that, my friend and I will cast out the language spells so you can communicate with other ponies. I might as well invite some unicorn scientists or mages from Manehattan university to help as translators."

"That's sound really good, your highness, we really appreciate your help."

"Oh, not a problem at all! I'm more than happy to help you all in your objectives! Oh, and by the way, just call me Twilight. I would love to invite the 'hyoo-man' scientists on a tour all around Manehattan. Letting them visit museums and libraries so you 'hyoo-mans' can understand more about our species." Twilght responded.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Twilight, I will immediately notify the scientists on board the ship." Jordy replied.

"Oh, it's not big deal, just trying my best!" Twilight said.

The admiral then returns to his ship to announce to the scientist that they have received an invitation to take a tour around the city and visit the Manehattan museums and libraries. 

Meanwhile, Ambassador Alex goes to the communications room on the USS Theodore Roosevelt to report the results of the diplomatic meeting between him and the leader of Equestria. 

The human scientists were really surprised and amazed by the unique magical abilities possessed by the ponies. They would spend most of their lives trying to learn magic and trying to find a way to apply it to human life.







Shortly after, the admiral announced to everyone on the ship that they got an invitation from Princess Twilight Sparkle to visit the national museum and public library in Manehattan. Basically, to say that the scientists were happy was an understatement, some of them even did a griddy in celeberation of the new knowledge they will learn. That and they were the first in the scientific field to interact and learn about an alien species, they will surely have a field day.

Of course, at first many of them didn't believe that the ponies could do magic, they thought that was just a cringe joke by the admiral, but after Twilight and Starlight demonstrated their magic skills in front of them, they were all basically dumbfounded and amazed by the abilities they had. The two ponies demonstrated something simple from telekinesis to complex magic like teleportation and matter manipulation in front of them.

After that Twilight started taking them on a tour of the Manehattan national museum, in total she brought 47 human scientists and 10 marines as escorts on the trip. Before they left though, Twilight and Starlight casted a language spell on all the scientific personnel and their escorts so they could communicate with the ponies.

As they were walking towards the museum, they saw the airship that was supposed to be guarding the skies over Manehattan starting to retreat. This was because after the meeting, Princess Celestia informed that the humans had come peacefully and had no intention of hurting anypony so she started ordering all the airships to return to their respective bases.

After 23 minutes of walking in the middle of the city, they finally arrived at the Manehattan National Museum. At first, the guards situated at the Manehattan National Museum were a bit frightened by the arrival of the humans, but with the help of Twilight Sparkle's reassurance, they allowed the humans to see the museum.

The moment they were inside the museum, the human scientists couldn't contain their admiration. The Manehattan National Museum is one of the largest museums in Equestria. They store many historical artifacts that can be traced back to the era before Celestia and Luna descended from the place ponykind called 'Garden' or A.K.A. 'Heaven'.

The humans also had a hard time not touching the historical items that are stored in museums. They all acted like the average Romanians whenever something valuable is lying on the ground, something Twilight and her marefriend find very hilarious.



After 25 minutes spent at the museum, they started to go to the Manehattan National Library, This time, they didn't have to walk very far because the library is very close to the museum. They only spent 12 minutes walking before finally arriving at the museum. What they found made their jaws drop, metaphorically of course. The Manehattan National Library is bigger than 'The Library of Congress', with 189 million items and 1,789 kilometers of bookshelves, basically this makes the Manehattan National Library the largest library in the world.



Human scientists immediately began borrowing a bunch of books from the library, ranging from pony biology, history, biography, and magic. The problem though was that they couldn't read the Equestrian alphabet, this made Twilight and Starlight have to cast language translation spell on each book they borrowed one by one. It was a bit exhausting for the two ponies, but in the end, it was worth it, the humans were happy with their books of new knowledge.

After Twilight and Starlight used up 1/4 of their energy reserves to cast the language spell on all the books the humans had borrowed, one of the few human scientists came to them. He was Isaac Thompson, he is a historian from the university of California. He was one of the lucky individuals to be recruited into operation 'Contact Eagle'. He and his colleague, Jarrett Mills, a biologist, found something odd in the Equestrian historical records, especially about their leader.

"Pardon me, your Highness, can I ask you something?" asked Isaac.

"Of course, and please, just call me Twilight." Twilight replied.

"Well, I want to ask you something. According to this book, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were the leaders of Equestria from the very founding until today, right? But also according to this book, Equestria has existed for over two thousand years, how could that be possible?, did they really live that long?" Isaac asked. It should be impossible though, such a long life span shouldn't be a thing, right?

"Yes, it is one of the special abilities of Alicorn. The Alicorn race is basically immune to aging. They are also completely resistant to almost all diseases." Twilight answered.

Isaac, for all the answers he was expecting, did not expect that answer.

"So, they are basically immortal?" Jarrett said.

"Practically speaking, yes, they could technically live forever." Twilight replied.

"But how can that be possible? Not a single biological creature can live that long!" Isaac exclaimed.

"That's because Alicorns, especially the adults, have a great capacity for magic, they are able to do things that are impossible for most mortals. For example, only Princess Celestia and Luna have the  ability to move the sun, moon and other celestial objects." said Twilight.

"Wait, you're also an Alicorn too, right? Can you demonstrate to us how you move the moon or the sun in front of us?" Jarrett asked curiosuly.

"I'm sorry, but im not capable to move the sun and the moon, not yet at least. I might have to wait another hundred years to start having enough energy to move the moon, and maybe another hundred years to start being able to move the sun." Twilight answered.

Isaac and Jarrett were surprised to hear what Twilight said. Something like that should be physically impossible, no matter how advanced their civilization was. The two of them weren't the only humans who heard what Twilight said, an astrophysicist named Cody Dixon heard what she said. In response, he immediately rushed towards them.

"Forgive me, but, are you saying that they are the ones responsible for changing the position and order of the solar system?" Cody asked.

"Uh, what do you mean ?" Twilight asked, confused.

"Well, originally, the solar system had the sun as its center and the planets and asteroids orbiting it via gravity. Though, a few days ago, not long after your arrival to Earth, everything changed. Earth is now the center of the solar system while the sun and other planets orbit the Earth." Cody answered.

"Errh, I don't know. In our home system, Equus being the center of the solar system is something normal. Are you saying everything has changed since we came?" Twilight asked.

"In simpler words, yes, everything has changed ever since you guys came to our planet." Cody replied.

"OOHH, WOW! This means the star system of this system is starting to adapt to the Alicorn's magic! We originally thought that Celestia's and Luna's stellar magic only applies on the Equus system. This is a very extraordinary discovery." Twilight said happily, once more unaware of the sudden news she has dropped.

"What? No, it's completely the opposite! All of our research, ranging from our solar system to the basic understand of gravity has come to a complete halt! Years upon years of research is suddenly irrelevant!" Cody exclaimed.

"Not only has it completely halted, but it has also set space research back by decades! Almost all observing satellites or probes around the solar system have been basically destroyed by the sun or the other planets. Some even being ejected from the solar system completely!" Cody said.

"One of the most tragic news is the fate of the James Webb Space Telescope. All of the sensitive infrared equipment in the telescope is completely fried by the heat from the sun, so it has to be retired early..." Cody said sadly. He really liked the JWST.

"Hold on, what do you mean by space research?" asked Twilight.

"In the past, we sent satellites or probes into space to investigate and do reserch about celestial objects in outer space. Unfortunately, due to sudden changes in the order of our solar system, it makes all future research missions nearly impossible." Cody replied.

This caught Twilight's attention. These 'hyoo-mans' were capable of sending stuff into space, something that was once thought near impossible by the scientists back at the Canterlot Research Institute, but right now, this is not the time to ask about it, they just lost years of research because of Celestia's and Luna's meddling.

"Oh dear... we apologize then, I'll try to talk to Celestia and Luna about this." Twilight said. She could relate to the humans, having all research being thrown out the window is something she wished to never happen again.

"Well, apologizing won't do much, can it? All of the research that we conducted world-wide, milions of dollars spent on space, gone..." Cody said sadly.

"I'll have you know that we didn't intend for that. We didn't know that we were do-" Twilight was cut off as Cody began to speak.

"It's fine, kind of... If your princesses are willing to change the the solar system back to the way it was, that'll be great. We can always recover, we humans are like that." Cody said, Twilight simply nodded in response.

After that, the tour in the Manehattan National Library went smoothly again. The humans gain new knowledge about ponies, from their history, biology, and magic. They also learn that the leader of the ponies is the one responsible for the sudden change in the position of the solar system. 

Once this information spreads to the internet, it will spread like a wild fire, to the far north of Canada and to the tip of Argentina. The fact that these new inhabitants of Earth have the ability to move the sun and moon and reconstruct how the solar system is positioned is truly terrifying. A sense of dread will engulf humanity for decades to come...







Somewhere in Manehattan plaza, Celestia was coordinating dinner preparations between herself and the human ambassador, but since she still didn't know what the humans ate, she basically ordered the chefs to cook almost all the food that they have on the menu. This is because they still don't know what humans actually eat, they never bothered to ask in the first place. Celestia assumed they were herbivores like them, this was because humans didn't seem to have carnivorous characteristics like fangs, claws, or sharp teeth, so all the food they made is vegetarian dishes, there is no way that a creature that looks like weird combination of monkey and minotaur could consume meat, right?

She also asked the mayor to prepare enough chairs for almost everyone. Unfortunately, they didn't have enough room for everyone. According to the information they received, the number of human personnel in the fleet numbered more than 8 thousand people, most of them were on their flag ship which they named the USS Theodore Roosevelt. This in turn made Celestia dumbfounded. Equestria's largest Airship only needed at least 500 ponies to operate, 600 if they were pushing it to the limit. Celestia was a bit disappointed that she couldn't bring all the human sailors and personnel to have a dinner together. At the very least, they managed to prepare enough seats to accommodate more than 500 humans.

After her preparations seemed to be almost done, Celestia then looked at the clock on the wall in the plaza, it was already near 6 PM, or 5:48 to be exact. She then asked Luna to get out of the plaza building to start their duty as guardian of the sun and moon. When she started casting her magic spell, she suddenly heard a voice from behind her. As she looked back, she found Twilight and more than 50 humans. Ranging from scientists to guards who, for whatever reason, are strangely called 'Marines'.

"Ohh, Twilight, you're finally back! How was the tour, did everything go well?" Celestia asked Twilight.

"Yes princess, everything went well. I learnt quite a lot about the humans today, they are a really interesting species." Twilight replied.

"Oh really, how so?" Celestia asked.

"I know that human civilization is purely based on science and technology. They didn't recognize about the existence of magic until our arrival. Their history also has parallels with that of Equestria." Twilight answered.

"That sounds really good Twilight, I would love to hear more about what you learned today over dinner. For now though, me and my sister have to do our duty first." Celestia said.

Celestia's horns began to glow with a yellow aura, a magnificent bright light began to shine from her horn, somehow not blinding anyone who's looking at it. As the sun slowly began to descend to the horizon, Luna's horn also began to glow with a blue aura that, as with Celestia's, began to shine brightly. With that, the moon quickly began to rise, enveloping the night sky with a moonlight.

The scientists and marines were completely stunned by what they had just seen, it was odd to see such a feat. Odd yet beautiful in a way. One marine luckily had his camera rolling at the time to capture the majestic scene.

"Crikey, that... was beautiful..." The marine with the camera said, the other humans in the group agreed with him.

"S-so, they did actually move the sun and moon..." Cody muttered.

"They are indeed immortal goddess after all!" Isaac exclaimed.

"So we are all doomed?" Jarrett said, asking the obvious.

"Rah..." A marine said quietly.

Celestia and Luna seemed really confused by the words said by the human scientist. The two of them were at a loss as to why they were so dumbfounded by something that should to be a common knowledge, Celestia became the first to ask a question.

"Erggh, are you alright?" Celestia asked.

"Nope... everything is not alright." Cody said.

The human scientist named Cody then started to explain to Celestia and Luna about what had happened to the solar system and its effect on space research. He also asked if they could get things back to normal. Celestia could actually restore the solar system to 'normal', but before she could say anything, Luna suddenly intervened.

"I'm sorry, but unfortunately we cannot return the solar system back to normal." Luna suddenly said.

"What?! Why not? We lost entire decades worth of research, damn it! Most, if not ALL of our probes and satellites orbiting far away planets are gone, reduced to mere debris!" Cody exclaimed, losing hope in a normal solar system. 

"Because when an Alicorn's magic starts to connect with a star system, all objects start to adapt and change their position individually without us knowing." Luna answered back calmly.

"Wait... you're saying if Equestria goes back to Equus, does that mean all objects in our solar system, ranging from gas giants, planets, and to asteroids will suddenly go in different directions?" Cody nervously asked. He hoped that whatever answer that comes from the princess won't be negative. Alas, that was not the case.

"Most likely, yes." Luna answered as a matter of fact. No emotion at all being detected from her tone.

Celestia couldn't believe what she just heard, Luna lied in front of the humans by saying that they couldn't return the solar system to normal. She could see the faces of Cody and the other scientists looking sad and disappointed, the poor, poor, humans...

As Cody and the other scientists who were there started to leave, being led by Twilight and Starlight to the dining room in the plaza, they all left with sadness, there was no hope for recovering years of research, they were basically at step 1 in space research. After they seemed distant, Celestia quickly asked Luna why she lied to humans.

"Sister... why? Why did you lie to them? You and I know that's untrue." asked Celestia.

"It's not because I hate them Tia, we were tasked with being the eternal guardian of the sun and moon. We spent most of our childhood studying stellar magic, do you want to lose all of that just so this... this configured minotaur can send some stuff into outer space?" Luna asked.

"Luna, you have to understand, this was their system before we came, not ours. It was their sun and moon, it was never ours to begin with. Even if they can't control it, it's still theirs at the end. They even spent years researching about the space that surrounds their little planet." Celestia said.

"I'm sorry sister, but it had to be done. We are the guardians of the sun and moon, its caretaker and defender. Our cutie marks symbolize it as well. If we can't control the sun and moon, what's the point of our cutie marks? No, I won't allow... disconfigured minotaurs ruin that, not at all. Plus, we still have our powers, our abilities, why not use it for the better?" Luna said.

Celestia couldn't say anything, Luna was right, they were destined to be the eternal guardians of the sun and moon, it has basically become a part of their life that they can't let go. They have sun and moon symbol as their Cutiemark for Faust's sake.

"Look, I know lying to them is not something good, Tia, but we have no other choice. Besides, if they're as advanced as we hear them say, I'm sure they'll be able to figure out an alternative way to send a 'satellite' and 'telescope' into space." Luna said.

"Argh... fine then, I hope you're right. But, if they were to find out that we could return their system to normal, we'll be in more trouble than ever before, and we won't have more of our allies by our side..." Celestia replied.

"Don't worry, dear sister, they won't find out, I'll make sure of it." Luna said.

With that, Celestia and Luna started to go inside the Plaza to start dinner. They will keep this truth a secret to themselves, the truth the humans should never know. No one except Twilight and other Alicorn princesses should know about this secret for if it were to be revealed to humanity, they will not let this go quietly.

It's a shame that the dinner didn't end as smoothly as they had hoped, Ambassador Alex somehow went berserk and screamed like he had been possessed by a demon after he saw the existence of pineapple pizza on the table, the same goes for other humans who have Italian ancestry. Twilight, being the Princess of Friendship she is, quickly explained to them that humans are omnivores who are quite picky when it comes to food, especially hen dealing with the disc-shaped food called 'Pizza'.

Luckily, the other humans who were in the room managed to tackle them before they started to set fire to the plaza. Admiral Jordy apologized for the inconvenience that caused the ambassador and some of his personnel to go berserk. Luckily, Celestia and Luna forgave them, they did find it quite funny though.








=///Washington D.C.\\\=


In the capital city of the United States, all the important members of the government gathered in the safe room to discuss the results of Operation 'Eagle Contact'. They also discussed new information they had received from the diplomatic and scientific teams they had deployed there.

The first thing they addressed is the fact that the aliens who call themselves 'Equestrians', came unintentionally to Earth by an anomalous phenomenon they call 'Whiteouts'.

The second is their desire to open diplomatic relations with the United States and also participate in the meeting in United Nation headquartes which will be held in 3 days. Due to the distance and the fact that the Equestrians depended on Airships for long-distance travel, they had to prepare their own a plan for their visit to America.

First, the Equestrians will come to the air base in San Francisco with their conventional airship. Afterwards, they will be transported using a Boeing 747 to Washington D.C. where they will officially sign the opening of diplomatic relations with the president before finally leaving for New York by land.

The second is that they have to address the facts about the ponies unique ability to manipulate energy and everything around them which they call 'magic'.

The third is discussing about the fate of Hawaii because if what Princess Twilight said is true, that Celestia and Luna are in charge of moving the sun and moon, that means that after their teleportation to Earth, the surface of Equus were basically fried by the heat of the sun, or completely destroyed by the gravitational pull of their home system star, they also have to accept the fact that the Earth is now dependent on the Equestrians to stay alive, because without them, life on Earth will end. They were afraid that the Equestrians would use this as their diplomatic card to their advantage.

Also, even if Hawaii and the Oceanic countries were safely teleported to Equus, they wouldn't last long, and it's likely that all life on Equus would be dead by now, unfortunate news for whoever knows...

With that, President Adam will announce to the world of the results of Operation 'Contact Eagle' and will also announce the fate of Hawaii and other Oceanic countries that were unfortunately caught up in the tragedy of Equestrian teleportation from Equus to Earth which basically claimed the lives of more than a million human lives. All nations around the world began to give condolences for the loss of Hawaii to the Americas and every Oceanic country caught in the teleportion to another world. Well, most nations except for Afghanistan, the Taliban celebrated this tragedy and thanked Allah (God) for killing 1.6 million Americans lives. 

In rememberance, that day will soon be officially be named, 'Teleporation Rememberance Day', in which everyone will remember the lives that were lost that day. 

This marks a new era for humanity and ponykind, an era of friendship and harmony on Earth, an era of technology and magic, but an era of mystery and deception. It won't be pretty, that's for sure, but if both species manage to survive these trying times, maybe, just maybe, they will truly live in harmony and all barriers will be brought down for the better...
