Chapters July 2014, 10:24 am, over the Atlantic ocean
It was a clear and beautiful day over the Atlantic. The ocean was calm, and there were only a few small clouds to be seen.
two CF-18's were breaking the silence of the endless ocean, followed by two F/A-18's. They were basically the same aircraft, but with the exceptions of a few modifications. The four jet fighters were roaring their engines, as they come closer to each other, to form a diamond shape formation. Over them was a huge C-17 Globemaster III military cargo plane.
"Hey, do you guys eat moose burgers?" One of the F/A-18 pilot asked to the two CF pilots, who were clearly annoyed by the stereotypical questions."Is that true that you guys ride polar bears? And live in igloos?"
The pilot wanted to ask another question, but his wingman intervened before he could say another word.
"Alright Stevenson, I think they had enough."
"Oh shut up Clark, they are totally eager to answer my questions so if you will excuse me."
Stevenson tilted his jet fighter to the right, and moved forward next to one of the CF-18."Do you have a pet beaver named Maple?"
"OK! Now it's my turn" One of the CF pilots said, as he moved his jet right next to the (question maker).
"Williams please, don't.." His wing men pleaded, but it was too late.
"So, Your name's Stevenson right?" Williams asked.
"Henry, Henry Stevenson, at your service Eh!? friend." Stevenson answered, with a tone worthy of a spy movie.
"So Henry..." Christopher paused, "Is it true that your country has a pretty large debt?"
"Well.." Henry wanted to reply but he was caught off guard by another question.
"Is it true that most Americans or should I say United-Statians, eat big-macs for breakfast?"
"um, I'm not sure if..."
"Is it true that most of your people are fat? Weird because I see no fat on you... You must have been born differently."
That question did it, the two pilots began arguing and were throwing insults at each other. The two others could only watch the scene, and hope it would stop soon.
* * *
Forty minutes later-
"Alright, Stevenson, Williams..." Clark interjected. "Can you guys not kill each other today?."
"Well If he!..." Williams wanted to continue but something strange got his attention.
"Williams?" His wing men said, concerned about the sudden silence.
"Do you see that Hopkins?"
"See what?"
"The huge storm." He said
"What storm?" His wing men asked with a bit of a laugh.
"Right in front of you moron!" Williams said,clearly annoyed by the lack of attention his wing men showed.
"Yeah, so what?" Hopkins answered with an eyebrow raised, hidden by his mask.
"Wasn't it supposed to be a clear out today?"
"Well it's kind of normal to have unpredictable storms over the Atlantic."
"Ya, but do you see the size of this monster!?" Williams asked with wide eyes.
This time, Hopkins couldn't say anything. It was true, that thing was huge. It was so big that they can't even see the end of it.
Silence reigned as they slowly approach the huge formation. The sound of thunder could be heard, lighting could be seen as they come closer and closer.
"I don't know guys." Williams said."That shit looks pretty dangerous."
"Ah! Pussy." Stevenson thrown
"Well It is a Big Black Huge Storm with thunder and lightning."
"Looks like a normal storm for me..." Added Clark.
"Can we pass by?" Williams asked. who was nervous to get inside.
"Negative, that thing is huge, it would take a considerable amount of fuel to even get over that monster." Clark replied as he tries to see the end of the odd formation.
With that said, Hopkins put on the communication radio and started to talk.
"Globemaster 1, this is Dagger-1."
"Dagger-1, this is Globemaster 1, what's the problem. Over"
"We wanted to ask if you got the meteorological report? Over"
"Affirmative, we've got them, they say It's only a micro storm, and only a few disturbance zones. Over."
"You guys are sure it's nothing else than that. Over?"
"Affirmative Dagger-1, nothing else."
Hopkins sighed. "Alright thanks for your time"
"No problem Dagger-1, see ya at Paris airport. Globemaster Out."
Hopkins then looked at the clouds in amazement. He saw Globemaster pass through like it was nothing but butter.
"Well, guess we have no choice." Hopkins replied. "Globemaster 1 is already in."
They followed the plane in the storm, and soon got in the darkness of the strange meteorological formation. Only the bright flash of lightnings could be seen. The sound of the thunder was loud enough to block the sound of the engines, as they passed through.
"Hold on tight guys, we gonna pass through a disturbance zone." Hopkins said with a warning tone.
Almost as soon as he said that, the jet fighters started shaking violently. they could hear the creaking sounds of metal being knocked about.
"Shit, That's a disturbance zone for you!?" Williams asked with a surprised tone. "It's like
being on top of my mom's washer!"
"Calm down" Clark added. "These kind of disturbance only last a couple of seconds."
"Well I just hope we get out of this soo-"
Suddenly, a bright flash followed by a huge booming sound, blinded everyone. Without warning, Williams jet dangerously tilted to the right, missing Stevenson by just a few feet.
Stevenson narrowly avoided the incoming jet, and turned his gaze to look at the jet fighter who was now facing downward.
"Williams you moron, what are you doing!? You're going to get yourself killed!" Clark shouted, not amused at all.
" I can't control it, engine one and two are down, and...." He paused, "Holy shit my right wing is on fire!"
Clark focused his sight on the jet fighter, who was indeed on fire.
"Eject now!" Hopkins shouted, hoping for a parachute to come out.
Williams quickly pulled the lever under is seat, but instead of being thrown into the air, only a creaking sound came out.
"Shit, it's jammed!!" Williams shouted out loud.
Still going down, Williams started to panic.
"Will!...." That's all he could hear from the radio as the sound of interference came.
"Damn, I lost contact." He said in his head, as he desperately tried to pull his plane back upwards.
Now only the warning sound in the cockpit and his heart beats could be heard. As he made his way out of the gloomy storm cloud, sweat started to form on his forehead. Stress and fear quickly invaded his body as he could see his altitude quickly counting down. The darkness of the storm was slowly fading away, and Williams could see light appear in front of him.
He knew he was going to be dead soon. Perhaps, he would crash in the cold water of the Atlantic. He was going to either drown or die on contact with the ocean below. Not the end he had hoped for in his life, but nobody really chooses these things for themselves anyway. He thought of his time in the RCAF and how he had wanted to go so far. As he got closer to what he assumed was the murky water below, he let go of the wheel. He gave one last salute and spoke boldly.
"Goodbye fair world, it has been an honor serving with you..."
The plane disappeared from the sky.
Williams looked out his window one last time. The ocean looked so... green... Green!? Williams grabbed his steering wheel again, he twisted it as hard as he could upwards.
Everything went black...

Ponyville Square, 12:32 pm:
Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rarity were enjoying a bright and sunny day at Ponyville Square. Puddles were everywhere around Town this day. Ponies all around Ponyville were talking about the massive storm from last night. Nopony had actually given a warning, and nopony had admitted to causing it either. Conversation could be heard through the mass of ponies gathered in front of the town hall.
"Why didn't they warn us!?" A brown earth pony asked.
"That storm almost destroyed my carrot garden!" An orange mare stated.
"The horror, THE HORROR!" A pink earth pony cried out loud.
"They moved by their own? How!?" Another pony shouted all the way back of the group.
Away from the mass of furious folk were the three mares, sitting on a bench waiting for the waiter to show up. Instead of being angry like the others, they were calmly talking about the event last night.
"That was horrible darling, I've never seen such a terribly thunderous storm in all my life. It was so... messy."
"I must agree with you Rarity, that storm was awfully big." Twilight replied.
"It...startled me..." The yellow pegasi said, almost hiding herself under the table.
"well..." Twilight started to talk, but she saw the waiter coming. "Looks like the waiter's here." she simply said.
"Hello there ladies, may I take your order?" the handsome colt asked with a smile.
"I'll take a daisy sandwich please, and a hay sprite." Twilight said. while giving him the menu.
"Excellent choice." The colt stated, while noting it on his notepad. "And for you miss?"
"It will be a small hay salad please, It will be all for me." With that said, the white mare (hoofed) him the menu.
"Perfect." the pegasus colt said with gentleman tone."And for you miss Fluttershy it will be?"
"Oh! Hello Storm Flash, It will be same as yesterday...please"
"Alright." He replied with a smile, and took the menu."Thank you ladies for your time." The Colt said.
As the colt was going to the kitchen, the three mares continued their conversation.
"So, what I was about to say..."
Suddenly Fluttershy's eyes widened, while she looked at the sky behind her beloved friends.
Twilight and Rarity looked at each other confused, and then returned their gaze to her.
"Fluttershy? Are you all right dear?" Rarity spoke first.
Fluttershy didn't give a reply.
"Fluttershy? Heeelllooooo?" Twilight said with a chanting tone, as she waves her hoof in front of the yellow pegasus's face.
The pegasus raised her slowly trembling hoof to the sky. "L...l...look..." she said, stumbling in her words.
The two mares, a bit confused, turned around and looked at the sky. What they saw was something they never seen before.
"Twilight....what is it..?" Rarity gently spoke, not even turning to face her friend.
"I...don't know.." Twilight spoke with a questioning tone.
"Is it coming toward the crowd?"
"I think so...."
Fluttershy remained silent as she looked at the odd thing, burning and slowly descending toward the crowd of ponies.
Twilight jumped out of her seat."Every pony! Look out!" she shouted as loud as she can.
One little foal in the back row turned to look at Twilight, only to see the weird thing on fire. He turned to his dad, taped his shoulder, and pointed the object. The stallion's eyes widened, as he quickly took his foal and put him on his back.
"Run!" He then shouted. Quickly putting one hoof in front another.
More and more ponies turned around and started screaming and running. Panic was now highly present.
With a loud crack, the object crashed on the ground. Smoke and dusk was spread everywhere. The thing continued to move, scraping the dirt below and making the horrible sound of rock hitting metal. Almost 5 seconds after the impact, the object finally came to a stop. Black smoke was still coming from the object, and fire kept burning the right side of it.
One by one ponies peered from their hiding places. Not actually sure what to do, every pony just watch the odd object and said nothing. Twilight Sparkle was the most curious of the group slowly walked towards the front of the weird looking spacecraft.
"Is it some sort of machine?" She thought out loud. Unsure of what she was seeing.
She then looked to the more rounded shape, that she immediately assumed to be some sort of glass made. But she then focused her gaze at the glass, and gasped in high surprise of what she saw. Twilight couldn't believe it, as she stepped back from the object. She was soon rejoined by Fluttershy and Rarity, who were also shocked and confused by what they saw.
* * *
Williams was feeling weak, his vision was blurry, and his arms were hurting badly. Being unable to breath normally, he let out moans of pain as he desperately tried to open the cockpit. As he finally reached the button, he weakly pressed it and the glass quickly flew upwards. He could feel the fresh outdoor air filling his lungs. He tried to look around only to see three coloured dots. He tried to get his vision back, but it was useless. Slowly everything went black, and a voice from the radio came up. He recognized a voice. It was Hopkins...
"Chris? If you're still out there, I just want to say that we will not stop searching... until you are found..."
Author's Note
The prologue as been updated YAY!! I wanna say thank you to TheSheepMaster for editing this chapter. Please do look at his page, that guy's awesome. I do want some feedbacks...please? It would be kind of you guys. Anyways hope you enjoy, and may the shy be with you.
"Where am I?" Chris asked, in his head "Am I dead?"
His vision was beginning to come back, and he could now see some of the things in the room around him.
The pain was still present, especially in his right arm. As he looked at it, he could see it was wrapped with a soft bandage.
He was laying on a large bed, with a gorgeous white blanket; it was adorned with some beautiful purple curved lines. The bed was warm and cozy. He couldn't even remember the last time he had actually slept in a bed as comfortable as this one.
He looked around the room again, it was completely white, with neon white decorations everywhere. He stopped checking out his surroundings when he was interrupted by a sound. looking at him from behind a huge window were nine multicoloured beings. The window itself, was the size of a full wall. Williams was shocked and confused by what he saw.
"Why am I fucking seeing coloured horses with wings and horns!?"
Chris looked at them with wide eyes, not even moving or breaking eye contact. "I must be on fucking drugs", he thought. He rapidly shook his head, trying to stop the hallucination from his spreading. After several moments of this, he stopped, and realized that nothing changed. He was still staring at the freaky horse creatures in front of him.
***
Twelve minutes before Williams woke up:
Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and the six element bearers were staring at the strange being behind the thick window that offered them protection. They were observing it, as a white unicorn was doing research on the still sleeping creature. He was doing light examination, mostly focusing on the head and face of the strange thing.
"Short black mane, all right."
He then looked at the skin of the alien."The alien has a light brown skin," he said as he wrote the information down onto his notepad.
The curious unicorn then put his hoof on the creature's mouth and slowly slid it open.
"The subject has white and clean teeth, they are clearly well maintained."
He opened it even more. Chills of surprise quickly invaded his body, as he stepped back in shock from the creature. Still shocked, he took notes on his notepad and exited the room. Princess Celestia was still looking at the unconscious creature, as the unicorn came to her.
"Your Majesty." he said, as he bent down.
"Hello there Doctor Red Cross, did you discover anything interesting about... This thing?" Celestia asked with her regular gentle tone.
Red Cross was hesitant, he didn't want to scare everypony. But on the other hoof, he didn't want to lie to his ruler. And even if he tried to lie, Applejack would have discovered it as quickly as lightning.
"Well I do have good news," Red Cross said, rubbing the back of his head. He was now very visibly worried.
"Please do tell us," Luna said as she came beside her sister. They were quickly rejoined by the mane six who were also intrigued.
This made the Unicorn much more uncomfortable, judging by the nervous look on his face.
"Well... the good news is, that the creature doesn't have any sort of claws or traits that characterizes him or her as a predator."
"Well that's good news." Twilight said happily.
"However..." The white unicorn said, as he looked to the marble floor.
Seconds passed, and he still didn't talk.
"Ya alrigh't sugar cube? What are ya so worried about?" asked Applejack.
"Well" He paused."While looking at the teeth, I've discovered something pretty... Umm, Shocking."
"Please, tell us darling," Rarity said.
"Well, I don't know if..."
"Oh come on! We don't have all day!" Rainbow added, clearly annoyed.
"Alright, fine, It... It has sharp teeth! Happy now!?" Red Cross almost shouted.
Everypony in the room let out a gasp of fear, surprised by the sudden news. Everypony except for one yellow Pegasus, who was questioning about why everypony else was reacting so badly.
"So you are telling us that this creature eats meat?" Celestia asked, fearing that her ponies might be harmed by some flesh eating alien.
"I'm afraid so princess," The Unicorn said as he looked at the alien laying on the bed.
"Oh! Oh! Look! Look!" A certain pink earth pony said, while jumping and pointing at the creature,"The alien thingy that crashed in Ponyville Square is waking up!"
They all turned at the window to see the now awake creature.
He just sat there on the bed, shaking his head back and forth wildly. When he finished that, he shouted out three words that the none of the ponies could remember ever having heard before.
"What the fuck!"
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Several minutes after the wake up:
Suddenly the horn of one creature started to glow yellow; and a microphone floated in front of the mouth of the largest horse.
Then a voice spoke clearly,"What are you?"
Williams was extremely surprised; as he jumped out of bed with wide eyes. "This can't be true! This cannot be true!" He shouted in disbelief.
"Did I say something wrong?" Princess Celestia asked to no one in particular, as she looked at the alien who was hitting his head repeatedly on a wall.
"I don't know," Twilight added, "maybe he's healing himself somehow."
Fluttershy could only look in pity at the alien. She knew it must be difficult for him.
Williams stopped what he was doing, and then sat back down on the bed.
Ok! Chris? Stay calm, you're not gonna die today right? He thought. They are only friendly little horses, nothing more.
"Can you talk?" The voice spoke again.
Christopher was nervous, but he decided to answer anyway. "Y...Yes, yes I talk," he spoke with slight difficulty.
Everypony was surprised to see the creature was actually talking perfect Equestrian.
Twilight took her notepad and quill and turned to her mentor smiling, content that they finally got somewhere.
"What are you?" It asked.
"I'm a Human," he answered nervously.
Twilight quickly took some notes, as the interrogatory continued.
"Why are you here?" Luna asked.
"Well... I don't know...I only remember that storm, being scared and nervous, before crashing I don't know where..."
"You..." Luna paused."Literally crashed in the middle of one of the most beautiful towns in Equestria."
still disturbed by the fact that it was in the middle of the small town.
Williams was shocked, this wasn't good. He didn't wanted to hurt anyone, specially innocent citizen. For a brief moment Chris felt like a monster.
"Did I...hurt anybody?" Will said nervously, praying for the opposite.
"If you're asking if you hurt anypony, well no. Miraculously you didn't."
Chris let out a sigh of relief. He was happy that he didn't injured anyone, even if these anyone were pastel coloured ponies.
"Where do you come from Human." Celestia asked, eager to listen what the alien has to tell.
"I'm from a country called Canada, North-West from here." He said, now much more comfortable than at the beginning of all this.
Celestia turned to her sister with a confused look."North-West?" She asked."There's nothing there except an endless ocean."
"I know sister."Luna replied."Is there really land out there?"
"I don't know more than you Lulu." She replied.
Celestia looked at the alien who was patiently waiting for another question. The human then looked down his tummy and rubbed it. As his stomach started gurgling
"You're hungry?" Celestia asked, as she looked the at him.
"um...Yeah..." He said simply.
"Doctor Red Cross? Can you...Doctor Red Cross?" She said looking for him only to notice a left open door, and the sound of some pony galloping.
Celestia faced hoofed, as she just remembered how Red Cross was scared of carnivores.
"*sight* Alright, anypony here volunteers to bring food to our guest?" She said in a serious tone.
Everypony looked at each other, unsure of what to do. After long seconds of silence, some pony finally decided to step in.
"I'll do it.." A certain yellow pegasus stated.
"What!" the rest of the mane six said in unison.
"Whoa! whoa! We can't let you do that! That thing can probably kill you!" Rainbow added, as she put herself right in front of Fluttershy.
"Rainbow Dash. get out of my way." She said harshly.
Everypony stared open-mouthed at Fluttershy, as she slowly made her way towards the metal door. She took the food tray that was waiting on a nearby counter, and slowly entered the room.
Williams starred at the cute little pegasus slowly entering the room, carrying carefully the tray with her mouth.
She carefully placed it on the table."Here you go." Fluttershy said, she then backed out a bit to allow the human to come sit at the table.
The human stepped out of bed and made his way to the simple wooden table. Everypony was impressed by the human's height. Celestia herself without her horn, was five feet tall. However, this creature was clearly doing 5,10 ft tall. This startled the rest of the group, fearing the worst for Fluttershy.
Williams sat down at the table, with Fluttershy joining at the other end. He looked at the food before him. There was a loaf of bread, lettuce salad, a glass of water, raw meat and..Wait! Raw meat? He took a closer look at the meat, and it was indeed raw. "Well at least the salad doesn't look so bad...." Christopher took the fork with right hand, and took a bite of the lettuce salad.
This took every pony by surprise, as he continue to eat."Are... you supposed to be carnivorous." A purple mare asked from outside the room.
Chris almost chocked on his salad. He swallowed the piece of lettuce, then looked at the unicorn and laugh"What!?" He Laughed again."No, my species is actually omnivorous." He said, trying to hold his last chuckles.
"But why aren't you eating your meat?" She asked.
"Well, lets say that my specie cannot digest everything, and most of our food must be cooked. Specially meat, to prevent getting sick from who knows what kind of bacteria. And I don't want to sound rude, but it looks pretty raw for me. " He answered, before taking a sip of water.
"Um, do you have a name?" A little voice at the end of the table asked.
"My name is Christopher, but you can call me Chris for short," He replied, "What's your name?"
"I'm Fluttershy"
"Well Fluttershy, Thank you for bringing me the food."
Fluttershy blushed a bit, "You're welcome." With that said, Fluttershy trotted toward the door and exited the room.
Minutes passed after everypony presented themselves. They told him that their species were herbivores, and that they lived in a country called Equestria.
For his part, he told them the basic of human philosophy and history. Every pony was interested, except one rainbow maned pegasus who only looked annoyed. The most interested of them all was the purple unicorn constantly taking notes every time he spoke a word.
Suddenly something clicked in his mind. "Chris? If you're still out there, I just want to say that we will not stop searching... until you are found..." Hopkins's voice resonated in his head. I can't stay here for too long, he thought. He then turned his gaze back to Celestia and Luna.
"Um sorry your highness, but I can't stay here for too long. My people will come searching for me and I don't want them to be worried."
Princess Celestia and princess Luna, looked at each other unsure if this would be a good decision. "Are you sure of that Cely?" Luna asked withe a worried tone.
"I'm afraid we have no other choice Lulu," Celestia replied."We cannot forbid him from seeing his fellow beings, nor that we can't separate a foal from his parents."
Luna let out a sight and proceeded, "Alright sister, but lets take a few guards. We could use some precaution."
"I agree, with you sister. We could use precaution."
With that said, they returned their look to the human. He was still waiting for a response,and finally got it.
We accept your proposition." Celestia finally said. The human beamed at the answer, finally able to get a bit of liberty.
"However, you will be escorted by a group of my finest guards and the bearers of the elements over there," she said as she pointed towards the six ponies with one of her hooves.
"Thank you." Williams said. as the door slowly opened.
"Your machine is located in Caterlot's royal laboratory," Luna finally said, as she walked back to her royal duty.
"If something happens, we will be at our quarters," Celestia said, and turned around to follow her sister.
"Now everypony... and everyone follow me," a guard said as he started walking toward the laboratory.
I can't wait to see the face of the others when they see this, he thought to himself as they all followed the guard.

Chapt 2 updated now chapter three might come in a few days.
"Wait, so you didn't crash from space?" Rainbow Dash asked a bit confusedly, as they slowly approached the laboratory door."Then where did you come from?"
Twilight let out a sigh. "He already said that he came from a country called Canada, and that it was north-west from Equestria."
"North-west?" Rainbow paused, "there's nothing there besides water."
"Well, it seems that there is," Williams added.
The rainbow maned pegasus fluttered by. "How did you get here anyway?" Rainbow Dash asked with crossed hooves.
"I came here in a jet fighter," Williams answered simply.
Everypony looked at each other slightly confused, and returned their look to Christopher.
"Well you know, a plane."
They all looked at each other again, and returned their gaze to the human.
"Do you guys know what an aircraft is?" Chris asked, eyebrow raised.
"Yes, an aircraft is a machine that lets beings who are otherwise unable to fly, fly," Twilight answered with smile.
Williams could have sworn he heard a little squee. "Do you have any aircraft here in Equestria?" he asked.
"Well our biggest air balloon ship is currently here in Canterlot," she replied proudly.
'Air balloons... really?' He thought to himself, expecting something more technologically advanced.
Finally, they arrived in front of the white laboratory door. They entered the massive room, only to be met and blocked by a group of scientist ponies. They were all looking at the jet fighter, mouth-opened, amazed and curious at the same time. Whispers could be heard from the gathering, as the mane six, the guards, and the human attempted to find a way to get through the group of scientists.
"What an amazing machine..."
"I wonder what this is for?"
"What are these black round things on the back of it?"
One guard from the group that had just entered, rolled his eyes and stepped a few meters from the scientists. He then cleared his throat, clearly preparing something.
"MAKE WAY FOR THE PRINCESS'S GUARDS!" He yelled out loud. Everypony in front of them quickly made a way for the little group to pass.
As they passed through the newly made way towards the plane, Williams noticed that everypony surrounding them were looking at him with curiosity.
"What an intriguing specimen..." one scientist muttered.
"He must be highly intelligent."
This statement almost made Christopher laugh, but he was able to hold it all the way to the jet fighter. As soon as he arrived in front of his plane, he was surprised to see the rest of the aircraft still intact. Of course the bottom was scratched, and the right wing had a wide hole, but the rest of it didn't seem to be damaged at all.
With this quick inspection done, he looked inside the cockpit to see if anything went missing. To his relief everything was still there.
He turned around and noticed the princesses entering the room. He wanted to ask something to them, but his attention was quickly brought up at the rainbow maned pegasi who trying to suppress a laugh.
Twilight turned her gaze to her friend."Rainbow, what's so funny?" she asked.
Immediately after, Rainbow Dash burst into an uncontrollable laugh. Chris could only stare at the pegasi with his eyebrow raised.
Rainbow was rolling on the ground and pointing at the plane.
"You flew with this thing!?" she asked, still laughing at the aircraft.
"Yeah." Chris simply said, while not very impressed by Rainbow's reaction.
"That thing is heavy."
"Yeah, so what?" the human asked.
"So it can't fly, duh," said Rainbow, certain that this thing couldn't leave land at all.
Chris didn't respond, he was sure that even if he tried to explain to her the basic of lift and velocity, she would probably just be annoyed. Judging by how stubborn she was, he decided to speak to the princesses at the back.
"Your highness?" asked the human, trying to catch their attention.
"We are listening," answered Celestia, a bit confused by Rainbow Dash's behavior.
"Can I proceed?" Chris asked with an eyebrow raised.
The two sisters looked at each and returned their gaze to the human. They simply nodded as a sign of approval.
Without waiting, Chris jumped into the cockpit. Everypony looked with interest at the human, touching and switching on random buttons.
Suddenly the cockpit came to life, green lights flashed, and the sound of power coming back was heard.
Everypony was amazed by what they saw, and even the two regal sisters were intrigued. Everything seemed to be working perfectly, the air intake was working, the battery was still intact, and even the gears seemed to be functioning properly.
However, one thing still needed to be checked to see if it was working, and that thing, was the radio. With a bit of hope, Chris turned on the device and started to talk.
"Control tower, this is Dagger-3, please respond control tower."
Seconds passed, but nothing came.
Williams was starting to become nervous and worried. Calls after calls made seconds slowly turn into minutes. Everypony started to feel sorry for the human. Chris was about to give up when suddenly, a voice could be barely heard behind the sound of interference. Hope quickly came back, as he rushed towards the radio.
"Chris?" the voice spoke,"Chris is that you?"
"The one and only," Williams replied with a smile, as he recognized the voice of Clark.
"Dude, everyone thinks you're dead," Clark added. "Are you still floating out there?"
"Floating? No. Standing on hard ground? Yes."
"Ah okay, wait what!?" Clark asked in confusion.
"Well, it's kind of a long story. At first, I thought I was going to crash into water, then realized that I wasn't. So I pulled the controls, and then everything went black. After that I woke up in a cozy bed, only to find out that this land was inhabited by pastel coloured ponies that have wings and horns, do magic, and talk. At first I thought I was on drugs or some crap like that, but then I discovered that this was real. And then--"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a second." Clark interjected," you're saying that the land where you are is inhabited by pastel colored... ponies?"
"Yeah," Chris simply said, praying for Clark to trust him.
After seconds of pure silence, the voice of Clark finally came out, "I think I know what's happening."
"You do?" Chris asked, a bit confused.
"It's pretty obvious that you took some sort of drug on that mysterious land of yours."
"It's real! They are all listening right now!" Chris shouted in anger.
"Dude you're seeing things," Clark stated. He was starting to feel worried for Chris.
"Just listen--" Chris wanted explain, but was immediately cut off by Princess Celestia who was joining in by his side."I assure you that all of this real," she spoke awkwardly.
Princess Celestia could have sworn she heard the same three words from before. A long silenced lasted. Celestia looked at Williams with a confused look. Soon the voice of Clark was heard again.
"Chris?" Clark asked.
"Yeah?"
"Who was that?" asked Clark, not so sure what was happening here.
"I am princess Celestia, ruler of Equestria, and protector of my little ponies; and I can assure you that everything your fellow human said is true." Celestia responded by herself.
Everypony stared with wide eyes at their ruler, communicating with the strange human device.
Paris airport, air control tower, 2:18 PM
"What the fuck was that!?" Clark stated out loud.
"We are as confused as you are Major," added an elderly man in a black uniform.
"General Lesnar!" a young man who was sitting in front of a computer called.
The elderly man sighed. "Yes, what is it Nick?"
"You might wanna take a look at this."
With that said, General Lesnar walked towards Nick and the rest of the research group followed. They then stopped in front of the monitor, and stared at it for a moment. They stared with interest, as the screen showed a sky view of the center of the Atlantic.
"NASA was kind enough to share these images," stated Nick.
"Everything looks fine," Lesnar added." What's so interesting about them?"
"Just wait until the clouds move."
Slowly the clouds moved to reveal a majestic piece of land. Lesnar and all the crew team looked at the land with admiration. It was filled with life, mountains, plains, forests, you name it.
"Well..." Clark added while looking at the screen,"looks like Chris didn't took drugs after all."
"Yeah, but that don't explain the pony civilization thing." one of the research crew stated.
Slowly the camera zoomed in around the land and immediately showed a nice little village.
"A village... no way," Lesnar said, dumbfounded.
"I know right?" said Nick." Believe me, the guys from NASA were as shocked as we are right now."
"Well, looks like we have something big going on here" Lesnar stated."Craig!"
"Yes sir!" A man sitting in front of a computer replied.
"Do we have any ships that can quickly reach this... Equestria land?"
"HMCS Montréal is patrolling near the western shore" The crewman replied firmly.
"All right, send it to recover our man. I'll call the U.N and tell them about this whole scenario. They'll know what to do," Lesnar finally said, before turning his gaze to Clark."Keep the signal with Chris, if something happens then we'll know it."
"Sir yes sir," Clark said, as he returned to the radio.
Everypony was looking at the human and his machine with inquisitive eyes. To everypony's surprise the device spoke again, revealing the same voice from earlier.
"Chris? Chris, you're still there?"
"Yeah I'm still here," Chris replied simply.
"Alright now listen," Clark said with a serious tone. "HMCS Montréal will be near the western shore tomorrow max. If you can deal with the ponies to get you here, it would be appreciated."
Williams turned his gaze to Celestia, who simply nodded in approval."They'll bring me there."
"Good," Clark added, relieved that the ponies were sympathetic."General Lesnar just finished contacting the U.N, and they said that it was a job for NATO."
"What did they decided to do," asked Chris, a bit nervous.
"They decided to send four diplomats to raise up the relations with the ponies," Clark said happily." One Canadian, another one American, and the two others are Spanish and French."
"And they're all gonna be in the Montréal?"
"Yep," Clark simply replied.
Chris was happy, everything was going perfectly. HMCS Montréal would be there to recover him, and the ponies had kindly agreed to bring him to the western shore; but a part of his mind was still skeptical over the ponies. 'Will they really bring me there?' He thought to himself nervously.
"I'm sorry to interrupt," the white alicorn apologized; "but isn't it a great time for us to get some rest, so we can be ready for tomorrow?"
At first Chris was skeptical, but then he decided that he could use some rest. "Yeah, I think I could use some rest."
"All right, let me show you to your room," Celestia answered softly with a smile.
Celestia's quarters, Midnight:
"What if they atttack us!?" Luna shouted with a bit of worry and uneasiness."You don't know their power. We... Don't know their power!"
Celestia looked at her and sighed."I understand your anxiety sister, but you worry a little too much."
"Too much!?" Luna yelled."I tried a simple telekinesis spell on this creature, and guess what!? It didn't work!"
"I know that these creatures are powerful, and yes I know that they are immune to magic. That's why we will talk to their diplomats, befriend them, and bring peace like we always did with the Griffins, the Zebras, the Saddle Arabians, and the Ecotonians," Celestia answered with an angry voice, but returned to her gentle tone."But in one way, you're right Lulu. That's why I put the guards at high alert; that way if they are hostile, we'll be able to get our ponies back to safety. Now go get some sleep."
"But Tia!" Luna wanted to reply, but was immediately teleported into her quarters.

Saying hello ****(Edited by macoman1)****
Saying hello ****(Edited by macoman1)****
"Where are they!?" Rainbow said impatiently."We've been waiting for hours!"
The group were waiting on the sunny beach of the western shore. Williams was sitting on the hot sand and was enjoying the sound of water along with Fluttershy. These two got along very quickly. She told him that she was an animal caretaker, and that she has a pet bunny named Angel. Chris couldn't resist cute and adorable little animals, it was one of his few weaknesses. Even if he's in the military, that doesn't mean he's supposed to be a six foot tall douchbag.
"What is taking so long!?" The rainbow maned pegasus added with annoyance, while hovering high in the sky and searching for anything.
"Rainbow Dash dear, can you please be patient and wait like the others?" Rarity added, while relaxing on a beach chair with her sunglasses hiding her eyes."Besides, we've only waited 10 minutes."
Rainbow groaned with annoyance, as she headed to a nearby chair and opened one of her Daring-Doo books.
Guards were posted around them, ready for everything. Chris almost felt sorry for the ponies. Their weaponry was everything but good. The guards that Celestia dispatched were using swords and crossbows. Plus, some of their armor seemed to be made out of solid gold which isn't very solid and could be easily broken by the bullet of a simple handgun. Williams noticed how the guards were posted. Most of them were hiding in the woods surrounding the beach. Only two of them were with Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. However, Chris was impressed on how well those guards were hiding. Princess Celestia explained him how unicorn guards bend their magic aura to cover their whole bodies; Therefore, giving them the ability to blend with their surroundings.
Suddenly, a large sound came out of nowhere. Chris knew this sound and he couldn't help but grin at everypony's reactions.
"What in the name of apple was that!?" Applejack yelled out loud, while searching for the source of the booming sound.
'Looks like someone is putting on a show.' Chris thought with a smile. Everypony looked around with confusion, and Fluttershy was hiding behind the human's legs like a frightened puppy. The same sound came again but it seemed to be closer than before. But then, everypony saw it. They didn't know what to say. Even the two regal sisters were agape, along with the guards. The guard ponies felt powerless in front of the massive machine. The ship was two times bigger than their biggest air ship. It was all made of metal, with the number 336 painted on the side. Then their attention was quickly brought up by a flying machine coming out of it. However, this machine didn't look like the one that recently crashed in Equestria and the sound of it was different. The sound of the odd machine was getting louder as it made it over the beach, before hovering above. They all looked with wide eyes, when a group of humans covered with a material that looked similar to the woods, jumped from the odd looking machine while holding onto ropes. Their faces were covered from the nose to the mouth with a black mask, and their eyes were hidden by glasses. Once the human group was on land, the transport headed back toward the ship. The group crouched and pointed their devices that looked odd for everypony. The devices seemed to be made of another sort of black metal, and had a single red light that seemed to be pointing in the direction the device itself was pointing. All of sudden, one of the humans yelled.
"Several thermal contacts, in the woods front left side!"
Every red dot from the human's weird looking devices were pointed at none other than the guards in the woods. Everypony was astonished to see how quickly their ponies were spotted. One by one, the guards emerged from their hiding position, not so sure what to do about it.
"B-B-But How!?" Twilight yelled out loud, not understanding what happened. "Only great magic users can find a pony using a blending spell!"
"It's easy Twilight." Chris intervened. "The guards may be invisible, but that doesn't stop them from showing body heat. That's why these gentlemen, are equipped with thermal vision that lets them see the heat of everybo, errr.. Everypony in a large range."
Before Twilight could reply, a member of the group of humans stepped to Chris's side.
"I never thought my cousin would be that good at explaining things." One of men said, chuckling a bit.
This took Williams by surprise, he knew this voice. He turned around to see the man who was looking at him behind his sunglasses.
"Jonathan, is that you!?"
"Yep it's me, glad to see you're alive." He said."Oh and one more thing."
The man walked towards Chris before punching him in the face.
"OW!!! What was that for!?" Chris yelled while rubbing the side of his cheek.
"That's for making your mom worried sick, courtesy from your mom herself." Jonathan said, while helping his cousin getting up.
Everypony was so focused and surprised by what happened, that nopony actually noticed the diplomats arriving by boat. Their attention was brought up by the sound of an engine. Everyone looked at the small boat accosting on the beach. They all looked, while four men jumped out of the boat and walked toward the group of ponies.
Celestia decided that it was time to show some manners and present herself."Greetings, I am Princess Celestia. I have been informed from mister Williams here, that you are the group of diplomats?"
"Indeed we are your majesty-" The diplomat was quickly cut, mid sentence.
"Please, no need for formalities. Just call me Celestia" Celestia said softly.
"Of course pardon me, allow us to introduce." The man cleared his throat and continued."I'm Ryan Miller, diplomat from the United States Of America."
Hearing the new country, Twilight took her notepad and quickly wrote it down.
"And this is Antonio Delgado, diplomat from Spain."
"A pleasure to meet you." A rather round man said with a thick accent.
"And this is Richard Ferdinant, diplomat from France."
"C'est un honneur de vous connaître." A tall man replied in his own language. He had short black hairs and was wearing a grey suite.
"Sorry, mister Ferdinant doesn't speak-" Ryan was quickly surprised by Celestia's answering.
"Je suis heureuse de vous connaître." She replied with a warm smile.
Twilight looked at her mentor, visibly surprised by Celestia's Prench skills. "You can speak Prench!?"
"Of course Twilight." She answered back."If not I wouldn't be able to negotiate with sovereign Equestrian Nations."
"So that means you can speak Germane! And Japonies too!?" She asked with wide eyes.
Celestia simply nodded. Twilight almost fainted knowing that she will soon need to learn three new languages. However, Twilight's thoughts were soon interrupted by the sound of a clearing throat. She turned to look at the source, only to see a rather tall blonde-haired man wearing glasses.
"I'm David White, diplomat from Canada. The prime minister tasked me to give you his deep apologies for the incident that occurred, and that he's willing to help if needed. He also gives his thanks for taking care of our pilot." He said with a formal tone.
"No need to apologize it was a pleasure." Celestia answered with a smile.
After the presentation, Celestia motioned for her guards to escort the four humans towards Canterlot.
"Well I suppose this is goodbye then." Chris said. He then looked at the group of ponies and smiled. "I don't know how many times I could thank you guys for saving my life."
"It's nothing Christopher." Celestia said softly, with a rather motherly smile on her face.
"Well, you guys did what a lot of us wouldn't dare and for that, I'm very grateful."
With that said Celestia approached the man and gave him a tight hug, which Chris accepted awkwardly.
'She's so...Fluffy.' Chris said in his head.
Finally released from Celestia's hug, Chris waved his hand to the element bearers, which they returned happily. Chris looked at them a second time and smiled, before embarking on the boat with a group of human soldiers. 'Thank you'

No I'm not dead, and no this is not the end, a lot more will come. Very short chapter though, sorry for that. Of course as you probably all know, Christmas is coming and everybody gets all busy preparing the Eve. Anyways hope you enjoyed. Let me know in the comments below. May the shy be with you.
Losing Control
The meeting with the diplomats was somewhat, a weird experience for them. Mostly because of "Magic", but what they saw on there way to Canterlot was kind of a lot for them to swallow. They've seen entire cities made out of clouds. They looked down from the flying carriage to see a gorgeous little medieval tudor styled village. But what was really the most disturbing but pretty much beautiful, was Canterlot. The capital was hanging on the side of a mountain. However the ride was kind of too much for the poor Antonio who eventually puked out of the carriage. David just hoped that nobody would receive it back down.
Landing on the city was a relief for everyone. Antonio was the first to get out, trying to get some air from all the stress he endured. After that, everything went quite well. They were escorted in the castle, where they could admire the stained windows of Canterlot castle, those were representing the elements of harmony in action. Soon the regal sister brought the humans in the meeting room where they would discuss the current event. They all sat down around a long rectangular table. Celestia took her place at the end, and soon the conversation began.
"It is for me an honour to welcome you in Equestria. Now let us begin."
The chatter finally started, but no one noticed the flash of light from on the open windows.
New York, 19:23 PM, UN Headquarter.
"Please attention ladies and gentleman, while the Prime minister tells us the situation." The words of the secretary-general made every chatter in the council room went quiet. The prime minister stood up from is seat and cleared is throat."Thank you secretary-general. Two days ago, four F-18 were escorting an international aid cargo plane. They were tasked to land at Paris for refuelling, and to send the supplies to Afghanistan. However, on their way to Paris they encountered a strange meteorological formation. The storm was simply too vast to be avoided, so they went through. But on their way through, Corporal Christopher Williams's aircraft, suddenly got struck by a lighting bolt. With both engines down and a wing on fire, Williams was forced to do crash landing maneuvers. For a considerable amount of time we didn't hear anything from the pilot after the crash. But after several communication adjustments, We've been able to communicate with the pilot. Soon, Corporal Williams started to describe is environment. He also stated that he made contact with the inhabitant of the land. They called themselves ponies."
On the mention of the name of the specie, the room got darker and soon, a projector showed a video footage of the first contact. On the bottom left the projection, the GoPro logo could be seen."This video footage, has been taken by one of the U.N Special forces soldier, with his GoPro camera. We can clearly see the conversation with our diplomats." Every single person in the room was awed by what they saw. Muttering between the representatives quickly got place. Soon the council room lightened up, and the prime minister was standing in front of them." Now ladies and gentleman the question is, what do we do now?" Everybody paused what they were doing to think of a course of action. But everyone seemed to be agreeing on one point, They didn't want war.
"Sir! You might wanna look at these." A brown coated and black maned pegasus colt entered the office of the Canterlot Equestrian Daily. In front of him sitting, was a rather old (Probably on his forty) grey stallion. The stallion was wearing a white shirt and a brown tie and had a short brown moustache and a short salt pepper mane style. In front of him, is name sign was reading: Mr, Rough Hooves.(A.K.A, one of those work boss you don't wanna have.)
"Shooter, you're fired!" Rough Hooves shouted out loud.
"What! Why!?" Shooter exclaimed with confusion.
Rough Hooves was looking at the latest photos in Picture Shooter's photo book.
"Dogs catching Frisbees. Pigeons in the park. A couple of geezers playin chess."
At the same moment where Picture Shooter was about to say something, A green pegasus mare entered the office.
"Boss your wife came by, she said she lost her cat named Jewel." The mare said.
"Thanks for the good news!" Rough Hooves stated."Now get out!"
The mare returned to her post with an annoyed look on her face. After she was out of the office, the boss turned is gaze towards Pic.
"What are you still doing there! I said you're fired!" He shouted, making every other sounds inside and outside of the room muted.
Picture Shooter recomposed himself and took is photo book and flipped a couple of pages.
"But sir you didn't looked at these shots." He said, while showing the pictures in question.
Almost immediately the boss turned around to witness the photo shoots. "Alright you're unfired, where did you get those." He said while looking at the strange creatures on the pictures.
"I saw those creatures in the Canterlot diplomatic meeting room. The window was open, so I managed to take a few pics." Shooter added with pride.
"Nicely done, I'll give you 150,00 bits for all of them!" Rough stated.
"300,00" Pic denied the first offer and raised it.
"That's outrageous!" The boss pony exclaimed out loud, but decided to give it anyway."Done, give this to the mare."
Rough Hooves gave him a piece of paper with the payment approval on it. And Picture Shooter made is way to the now bored as hell green pegasus. As soon as he opens the door, a rather fat dark brown earth pony made is way into the office.
"We got six minutes to deadline, Rough! We need page one!" He exclaimed.
"Here! There's your page one, Alien Menace Terrorizes Canterlot!" he shouted while raising is hoof at the title."I want copies of that sold pronto!"
The earth pony was confused, this seemed a bit to harsh for him. And now he was just glaring at his boss. Eventually, Rough Hooves noticed that.
"What are you looking for? A raise? Get out!" He gestured towards the door.
And the earth pony obeyed.
The sun was shining brightly above Canterlot. However, something was oddly wrong with *Celestia's* sun today. And that didn't skipped the princess's mind. Celestia was struggling to make the sun budge for small adjustments. 'Why won't you move!' she shouted in her mind. After several struggles and magic draining, she finally gave up. "That can't be!" She shouted to herself and fell to the ground. Soon, two royal guards came rapidly to the balcony to assist her.
"Your highness! We-" But they were immediately cut by Celestia.
"No time! Fetch my sister Luna now! Tell her it's urgent" She commanded in a full state of panic.
"Right away your highness." The guards said in unison, and they ran to Luna's quarters.
Luna arrived in her sister's room, visibly annoyed. For her it was probably some sort of prank that her sister usually loves to do against her. However, instead of seeing her sister with a shitty grin on her face; she saw Celestia nervously pacing back and forth on the balcony. She seemed visibly worried about something, and that didn't skipped Luna's mind.
"Tia? Are you okay?" Luna asked with confusion.
Hearing the voice behind her, Celestia turned her gaze towards Luna who was standing in front of her door.
"Oh thanks goodness Luna you're here. Now can you move the moon please?" She asked anxiously.
"But sister it's-"
"Just do it!" Sunbutt almost shouted.
After that Luna didn't questioned, and she charged her magic. Minutes passed, and still no moon was in sight. Luna was starting to get frustrated as she struggled to keep her magic going. Two minutes later, she finally gave up and fell from exhaustion
"But...This is impossible!" She shouted."Why didn't it move!"
"I don't know sister, I just... Don't know..." Celestia answere while trying to make sense of what was going on.
"Do you think the humans might be related to this?" Luna asked with concern.
"Maybe, but I don't think Humans have the magical abilities to prevent my sun from moving." Celestia replied."Plus we moved them yesterday when Chris was here...Right?"
The two sisters looked at each other awkwardly. Celestia face hoofed."How could we have possibly forgotten our duty!!"
"But you didn't! Then how in Tartarus is it high in the sky!!"
They looked at each other again.
"IT MOVES BY ITS OWN! " They shouted in unison. The shout could almost be heard all the way to Manehattan.
The streets of the marvellous city of Canterlot, was filled with life. And the same was to say for the newspaper stands. Almost everypony had a newspaper on hoof, and all of them were reading the same thing. Alien Menace Terrorizes Canterlot: Are they preparing invasion? And of course, their reactions were quite predictable...They panicked. Ponies from everywhere around the capital were gathering in front of Canterlot Castle, and all of them were for the same question. *Is it true?* Soon the front of the throne room gate was filled with civilians. The entire city was now waiting for the princesses to explain these shocking news. Everypony's questions were being heard from the entire crowd.
"What do they want from us!?"
"Are they really preparing invasion!?"
"We must defend Equestria!"
This soon resulted to an hellstorm of questions from everypony in the main entrance.
Celestia and Luna, were still trying to clear their minds from their shocking discovery. But they were quickly interrupted by three royal guards entering the room. By the worried look on their faces, the two princesses knew that it wasn't good.
"Guards!" Luna called. "Tell the reason of your interruption!"
The guards flinched a little, but one of them decided to speak.
"We are terribly sorry you majesty, but the situation is urgent."
As he said that, the guard pulled out a piece of paper, and brought it to Celestia. She looked at it with worry and said nothing.
"Everypony started to panic, and now they are in front of the castle waiting for answers." The guard added. But Celestia just stared at the paper news.
"Luna?" Celestia called.
"Yes sister" Luna replied, with no absolute idea of what her older sister was thinking.
"Bring the humans here, It's time for everypony to know the truth behind this."
"But, highness..." A guard interjected."Terribly sorry for doubting your decision, but do you really think Equestria is ready for that sort of thing? I mean, what if they weren't?"
"Lieutenant, I've watched over my subjects for thousands of years. I just don't think so, I know so."
Sooner this day in Ponyville, Rarity was showing off her new clothing designs. She was wearing a majestic chapeau, and a dazzling outdoor dress. She was posing for everypony to look in awe. Even her friends were here. Whoooos and haaaas were heard from the crowd, as she switch from poses to poses. But suddenly, something viscous and smelly fell out of the sky and landed straight on her chapeau. Everypony let out a gasp of horror, the dress was ruined. She prayed for this to not be what she thought it was. But her prayers failed, it was vomit. Rainbow Dash burst out laughing, while everypony was in outer shock.
"I WILL DESTROY WHOEVER DID THIS!!!" Rarity shouted her lungs off.

Finally! It's here! Please post any grammar mistakes in the comment page (In the profile page one please). Hope you liked this chapter. I'll try to be faster on updates, so new chapters might be more frequent. Anyways, hope y'all enjoyed, and may the shy be with you guys.
We come in peace (◣_◢)
The group of human diplomats, roamed the hallway leading to the living quarters, in which it leads to the central balcony.(You know, that balcony where everypony admired the new Princess Twilight.) The group was escorted by four human special forces soldiers, and two royal guards. As soon as they arrived, Celestia and Luna greeted them, and explained the rather uncomfortable situation. It was indeed this kind of event that the diplomats were trying to avoid. The first thing they were trying to prevent, was an angry mob full of magical technicolored ponies. Even if they were guarded by fully armed elite special soldiers, these men aren't allowed to fire on civilians. And if they do, only one dead human or pony could lead to a total war. And the UN wouldn't be happy about it.
David was trying to clear out the situation, as he rub is forehead and sighed.
"Do you know the reason of this panic highness?" David asked.
Right after this question, Luna levitated a newspaper to David, who grabbed it gently. He looked at the front page and read, what looked like lies everywhere. He couldn't help but laugh at everything this piece of paper was saying.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
[The Equestria Canterlot Daily]
Alien menace terrorizes Canterlot!
Are they preparing invasion!?
"Alien sighting confirmed in Canterlot Castle! Does Celestia is dealing with the threat!?"
See page 1.
"Recent spaceship crash in Ponyville! Is this a sign of hostility!?
"Well that explains a lot." David added with a slight chuckle, and returned his gaze to Celestia."We might be able to calm and reassure them, but we need their full attention. Do you think you can do something for that issue majesty?"
"I'll see what I can do." Celestia replied with confidence.
Miller was looking at the conversation and spoke."Good, now we just need someone to secure the gate to prevent any eventual panic spreading. We don't want everyb...Pony to run and scream all over the city." Miller stated, while taking a peek from the windows to see what was happening out there.
Luna sighed and replied."My lunar guards will block the gates. Even though it seems a bit harsh, considering that we are forcing them to stay. But Equestria needs to know that they have nothing to fear." Luna accepted, a bit disappointed, but she knew it was for the good of her subjects.
David smiled, knowing that they were finally going to go public in front of all of Equestria. "Lets get this party started then." David finished off, before heading towards his quarters to put something more formal, for the official full contact with an entire new specie. The others shortly did the same, and they went to their own respective rooms. David made sure to ask a soldier to record the event on his helmet camera, in which he agree simply. Later on, everybody and pony, returned to the central living room. Celestia had her usual golden outfit polished,and the humans were wearing formal diplomat suits.
"Well...Is everyone ready?" Antonio asked to the rest of the group.
They all nodded in agreement, and began to plan their official entrance.
The massive crowd waited for their favourite leader and so called goddess, to show herself. It was rather uncanny to witness Celestia being late for a speech. Not seeing their leader right away made them nervous, and rumours around the crowd started spreading. "It's the alien who did this! The aliens are holding her captive I tell you!" A pony in the crowd shouted. Right after, everypony started to panic. Parents took their little fillies and colts and ran to the gates. But as they arrived, they were blocked by Luna's Lunar guards.
"Let us pass!" A stallion yelled, "Why are you blocking the way!?"
"We're sorry sir, but it's an order from the Lunar princess herself. We can't let you pass." The guard replied simply.
"But aliens are attacking!" Another stallion shouted from behind.
"There's no such thing as an alien attack, and orders are orders."
This response irritated a lot of ponies, as they start yelling at the guards before them.
"Buck this! I'm passing! I will not let my family get killed by some freaky aliens!" A stallion said, while advancing towards the group of guards. They noticed that, and responded by unsheathing their swords. "Sir! Back off now, or we will not hesitated to use lethal force.
"Buck you!" the stallion replied angrily.
The stallion was about to get out, but the front guard pushed him back into the crowd. The stallion stared at the guard furiously and launched himself towards the guard. But as he was about to lay a punch on him, a humongous booming voice was heard and echoed all around them.
"PEOPLE OF CANTERLOT!!!"
Almost immediately, everypony got down and covered their ears.
"I will not accept this sort of behaviour from my subjects!
No pony dared to answer back. They were too busy whimpering in fear at their leader's authority.
"Now." Celestia added, while returning to her usual gentle tone."I Know that you all heard of the alien news, and that you are all here to know the truth. And the truth is, there is indeed other intelligent beings in the castle right now."
Everypony looked slightly surprised.
"And those beings, are not here to invade Equestria." Celestia could feel the relief from the ponies."But now, it is not me that will answer your questions. It is them."
The crowd was taken aback, but everypony was even more surprised by the sudden arrival of two weird creatures. For them, they were wearing strange black outfits and holding strange black devices. But for the humans, they were only badass looking elite soldiers. The ponies glared at the two creature, while Celestia stood aside to do some space for four other creatures to come. The crowd eyed the creatures, not doing any sound or budging.(Damn we could have heard a fly, flying a mile away.)
'Well this is awkward...' Miller thought, while looking at the silent crowd. David took the lead and cleared his throat and brought is microphone in front of is mouth.
"Greetings people of Canterlot, and Equestria. My name is David White" The crowd let out a gasp of surprise, after hearing the creature talking perfect Equish. "We are terribly sorry to have caused such panic in your wonderful capital. But you all need to know that it isn't the reason why we are here." This statement relieved a lot of ponies, but considerable amount of them were still on their guards. David started talking about the negotiations, and the false propaganda on them. Some ponies were smoothed a bit. But there was still a group of them that weren't so opened. He then proceeded on introducing the rest of the group, by telling their names and profession. "So now that you all know who we are and what we are doing here, we're now open for questions."
It took time until finally, a pony was brave enough to raise is shaky hoof. A nearby unicorn guard, levitated a microphone to the anxious mare pegasus. "Um...Where do you come from?" The mare asked nervously
"Well, the four us are from different countries. For my case, I'm from Canada which is located north west from here. Miller on my right, is from a country called The United States of America. Both of our nations share the same border, and the longest unprotected one. Canada is up north while the United States are just south. We're both from a continent called North America. However these two fine gentlemans here, Are from another continent called Europe. My good friend Ferdinand here, is from a nation called France. And señor Antonio, is from Spain. If you want, later on I'll be showing a map of all our Nations. For now, does it answer you question?"
The mare nodded and passed the microphone back to the guard. After witnessing how friendly the creatures responded to the question, more and more ponies raised their hoof. Question after question, the humans replied to them happily. Questionis like "What's the name of your specie?" or "What kind of food do you eat?". Of course, they backed a little after hearing the word meat; but after a few more explanations they finally learned to accept it. They continued like that until finally, no more questions were asked. Right after this question storm, everypony and human gathered in Canterlot gala room. Food was served and music was played. David was showing a map of the world to the curious ponies who wanted to know more. Miller was talking with Luna about all and nothing. Ferdinand and Antonio were talking to a few scientists that took a lot of interest in Human technology and science.
Celestia eyed the map with curiosity. 'So many nations!' She said in her thoughts.'But that doesn't matter now, I need to know why I can't move my sun." She looked around, to see if she could get some answers from one of the humans. Luckily, she saw Miller constantly picking snacks at the buffet.(Seriously that guy passed trough half of the brownies already...)
"Um, excuse me Mister Miller?" Celestia said while approaching the Human. Miller reacted quickly by hiding the brownies in is rear pocket
"Oh, uh..Yes your highness?" Ryan replied with a sheepish smile.
"I must talk to you for a serious matter, please come with me." Celestia said to the diplomat. Miller nodded, and followed the princess. Princess Celestia nodded to the guards, guarding her door room and let her enter. Miller paused in front of the golden door to think about the situation. 'Alright so a female alicorn princess comes towards you and invites you to come in her quarters to supposedly talk.. Nothing to worry about...' He stated to himself in his thoughts. While entering her quarters, Miller noticed one of the guards winking at him with a perverted smile. 'Alright so that's scary.' Miller took at the wide room. A beautiful fireplace was giving a warm feeling to the room. Some cushions were placed in front of it, giving a place to lay near the warm fire. The bed was also in front of fireplace but it was near the wall. The sheet of the huge bed had a sun that matched her cutiemark. The balcony was at the far end of the room, and offered a beautiful view of Canterlot below.
Celestia walked to the doors, closed and locked them. The sound of the locking doors didn't escaped Miller's ears. 'Okaaay.. Now I'm scarred.' Celestia turned around with a smile on her face.
"Please have a seat Mister Miller." She said to the diplomat, while motioning to the pair of chairs who were placed around a little table.
Miller nodded and sat down at the table.
"Do you want some tea?" Celestia asked.
"Um, no thanks your majesty"
"Oh please no need for formalities, just call me Celestia. Besides, we are in my quarters." Celestia said, with a small smile.
'No shit...' Miller said in is thoughts."So what was so urgent you wanted to talk about Majes-... Celestia?"
"Well, as you may already know. I rule during the day, and my sister during the night. But there's a reason for this." Celestia stated.
"And what's the reason?" Miller asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Of course, we all know that the sun and the moon won't move on their own. So our duty as alicorn princesses, is to make sure that the balance of the day and night cycle is respected by moving them with our magical abilities and- Miller are you okay?"
It felt like an hour, just the two facing each other awkwardly. 'What a fuck is she talking about! I can almost see mister Isaac Newton waiting with a Baseball bat outside of the fucking room!.... Alright, keep it calm dude, don't lose your sanity now. Just play smooth and everything will go on perfectly.'
"I'm.. Fine.. I guess..." Miller answered back.
"Okay so as I was saying, my sister and I controls the sun and the moon. But since the arrival of your species in Equestrian soil, this ability somehow... Vanished." Celestia said, still slightly shocked from not being able to control her precious sun.
"Well it's kind of normal for us Celestia. For us, the sun and the moon raises and lowers by its own. I have a lot of difficulty believing that one being has the power to move entire celestial bodies in space. But I did witness the weird appearance of Equestria in the middle of the Antlantic after that weird storm."
Celestia's eyes widened after the mention of the storm that wasn't scheduled by the weather team.
"The storm.." She paused to think about it."Of course! The storm! The Elements! All make sense now!"
"Huh? wha.what make make sense?" Miller replied, completely surprised and confused by the princess's sudden exclamation.
Celestia proceeded to explain the magical capabilities of the Elements of Harmony. And of course, for Miller it was alien talk. But he decided to listen anyways.
"So you're telling me that the elements were somehow attracted by some sort of magical harmony that was created by this world?" Miller asked with disbelief.
"Exactly."
"And that this world is a parallel world to Equestria?"
"Yes."
"And because the elements of harmony needs magic, it brought everything that was magic related into our world?"
"Which means all of Equestria, yes." Celestia replied.
'Well that's some weird Sci-Fi shit going on here. Could it be true though? Could it be because of International peace and these.. Helements oF Armory or something? And that storm was some sort of disturbance cause by the elements themselves?' Miller asked himself in is thoughts,
"Well, I think we just found ourselves an hypothesis. I'll put the UN aware of this so they can try to demystify this question. But for now I think it's time for me to go." Miller stated while getting up from is chair.
"Of course, I don't want you forever in my room unless you insist?" Celestia said with a creepy grin, that sent shivers on Miller's spine.
"Uh..Yeah.. Anyways, I bid you farewell and goodnight. Today we return on the Montreal to bring the news to our superiors. Hopefully we hope that the public will not freak out and panic with the discovery of your people." Miller said.
"I do hope it goes well. I'm looking forward on meeting your superiors. For now, here's a little present from Equestria. Philomena? Come here please." Celestia called. Almost instantly, a beautiful red and yellow bird landed on the table next to Celestia. Miller watched the bird in awe. Philomena raised one wing, and took four feathers out with her beak. She then approached Miller who was still speechless, and deposed the feathers in front of him. The phoenix then spread her wings and flied to her perch.
Miller returned is gaze to Celestia who was smiling warmly."Was that a..Phoenix?"
"Indeed, and when a phoenix gives on of its feathers, it's a sign of trust coming from them. And it looks like Philomena trusts your four friends too. Will you give them the feathers?"
Miller was looking at the feathers, before looking back to Celestia."Yeah, sure I'll give them."
"Good, for now farewell Miller. I'll pass too say goodbye to your friends as well." Celestia said.
With that said Miller said goodbye one more time before heading to his room to pack his stuff. However, something felt wrong on the way. He reached for his rear pocket, only to feel something warm and mushy.
"Fuck! The brownies!" Miller exclaimed.

Well, here it is. The longest chapter to date. It was kind of difficult to do, without anything interrupting me in my daily life. but besides that, it was fun to make. Anyway, hope you all like this chapter. May the shy be with you.
(P.S) If you find any mistakes, please private message them to me. It would be much appreciated. Thank you.
The news didn't spread slowly. In fact, they were fastest news ever delivered. Equestria was now in the spotlight of the entire world. Europeans, Asians, Americans, Africans, all stood before their TV's and news papers. Those who couldn't afford these, relied on rumours. Some were even plugged on the Internet for even more news of Equestria, there was also videos and an actual footage on Youtube . The majority of people found the ponies quite... Adorable. But there was always some people who weren't so happy about meeting some magical intelligent talking ponies.
The leaders didn't go quiet on the subject. Of course they didn't want to spread panic to the populace, and that was a big challenge to overcome. During conferences, they were overwhelmed with questions, and some rather limited answers were used. Even projects were presented, like the construction of an embassy in Canterlot and an airport near Manehattan.
For the ponies, it was pretty much the same scenario. Newspaper everywhere, rumours, talks about some weird intelligent creatures were common. The Crystal Empire was also talking about those bipedal beings. Even the great Griffin Empire were chattering about those, that they so gently named, "hairless apes". The Changeling Hive were curious about the humans, and wanted to know more about them. Perhaps even trying to befriend them.
Celestia, had received greetings from about fifty countries. And all with a little message written in the native language of where it came from. This gave Celestia, the opportunity to study human languages and cultures. Every mail came with a little present from its nation. Canada was extremely grateful for taking care of one of its military pilots, as could be seen by the choice of words in the letter.
"What are you reading sister? Another friendship report from your student?" Luna asked, after entering and seeing Celestia reading letters on her cushion.
"Oh, no those are salutation letters from human rulers." Celestia replied with a smile.
Luna levitated one of the letters from the pile near her sister, and read out loud.
____________________________________________________________________________
"Dear rulers of Equestria. Canada is highly sorry for the accident that occurred in the small town of Ponyville, and that our nation is willing to compensate for any damage caused by the crash. We also want to thank you, for the hospitality that you so generously offered to our military pilot, Sergeant Christopher Williams.
We are looking forward, as well as every members of the United Nations, to further agreements and lasting friendly relations with Equestria.
We are also willing to learn more about your nation's cultural prosperity among your land. Of course if you are as interest as we are, the United Nation is more than happy to organize some sort of cultural understanding trip. The trip will include, food, housing, transportation, activities, and of course, your majesty's won't have to pay for anything during this travel. Everything will be paid by the government of Canada itself. We are eagerly waiting for your response as well as a meeting with your highness's in the process.
With my best regards, Prime Minister Andrew Cooper of Canada.

"Let me see." Celestia asked impatiently.
Luna tossed the letter to her sister, who immediately grasped it with her own magic. She made a quick reading of the letter, before putting it down.
"Lulu?"
"Yes Celly?" Luna replied, unsure of what her sister was about to say.
"I think I know the perfect candidates for the trip." Celestia said, before smiling happily at her idea.
Luna frowned and looked at her sister. "And who are those candidates of yours?"
Celestia chuckled, and looked through her window where Ponyville stood at the distance, with the last sun rays of the late afternoon behind it."Lets say it involves, 6 lovely mares, and one baby dragon."
This time Luna knew exactly who her sister was referring to, and she liked this idea.
"I'll write the reply letter, can you fetch them by tomorrow morning?" The white alicorn princess asked her sister, who simply nodded in return.
"Good! I feel that tomorrow will be a busy day for both of us Lu." Celestia said while looking at Ponyville.
"I have no doubt sister." Luna simply said before heading to her quarters.
Celestia then looked at the package that came with the letter. She lite up her horn and gently the package levitated by her side. She opened it and took the present that was inside. "100% Maple Syrup?"
Celestia opened the can and dipped her hoof into it, before licking it off. It didn't took long before Celestia's iris size and eyes widened. She never tasted something that good in all her life. She quickly felt a sudden urge to eat cake, and to make cake with this Maple syrup she just recently discovered.
"I must! Do! Maple syrup cake!!" Celestia exclaimed loudly before drooling and running her way to the Royal Kitchen.
Ponyville, 10:40 AM, Twilight's library.
"Good morning girls, I'm glad that you were all able to come. You need to see this quick!" Twilight said excitedly. While inviting her friends to enter. The library seemed normal. The books in the shelves were neatly placed, and Spike had just finished placing the last remaining books.
"So, what's so important you wanted us to see?" Rainbow stated. "Is it some sort of scientific experiment that gives ponies superpowers!?"
Twilight rolled her eyes at this statement. "No it's not."
Rainbow Dash sighed with annoyance, "Alright, just get on with it;"
"Remember the four diplomats when we brought Chris back to the-.. Um.. The Montr-hay-al?"
Rarity pondered at the question for a moment "Yes I can recall, they left a week ago. But what is so interesting about them?"
"Well after their departure, Celestia sent me something incredible from the humans!" Twilight exclaimed.
"Well, what in tarnation are ya waitin for? Show us already." Applejack implied.
"Alright, here it goes." Twilight's horn lite up and a little folded piece of paper levitated in front of the group. She then unfolded it and pinned it on the wall behind her so that everypony could see. It revealed something that was indeed unbelievable.
"A... map? But where's Equestria?" Rainbow said with confusion in her voice.
Twilight saw the puzzlement on everypony's faces. Except Pinkie of course. But she decided to explain them what they were seeing right now. "Girls, what you are seeing there are every single human nation in the world. Equestria isn't there because it was only discovered recently."
Suddenly, a pink blur came swooshing past the group. A fraction of a second later, Pinkie Pie was right in front of the map, taking a closer look at it. "Oooooh! I like the colours!"
The rest of the girls were dumbfounded by the sheer number of them. Twilight simply smiled at the sight, but was then interrupted by an incoming letter from Spike's dragon breath. The dragon then looked at the seal before quickly giving it to Twilight. "It's a letter from princess Luna." the dragon stated.
Twilight unrolled the scroll with her magic and read.
"What does it say?" Fluttershy asked curiously.
Twilight looked at her friends and replied. "Princess Luna and princess Celestia want us at Canterlot soon, and Luna is coming to take us up!"
"What's happening! Are those humans decided to invade Equestria!?" Rainbow asked while taking her fighting stance.
"I don't thing so, but we better prepare quick." Twilight said anxiously "You girls should head to your homes and prepare yourselves, I'll prepare my things as well. See you girls at 11:20, got it?"
They all agreed and quickly went off.

**Important message concerning this story**
**Important message concerning this story**
Alright, so I know a bunch of you guys are still confused as to why this story is showing to be 'completed' when it is obviously not... Well first off back when I started, I wanted this story to be some sort of "foundation" for a much bigger and frankly better one, meaning it was supposed to be some sort of "big prologue" for what was upcoming. The story was supposed to be titled "The Mane Six's Cultural Adventure!" and the whole setting was basically the main ponies visiting different places on Earth to learn more about humans and their cultures.(Wonders, Cities, Famous sites, Ancient ruins, etc..)
Hope you guys understand. With that said I wish you all good night and sweet dreams :) Hope to see you all in the upcoming chapters!
