Make America Great Again

January 27th

Admiral James Grozny

USS Hue City

2 miles off Equestrian coastline

The pony chariot was guided to the small landing space at the stern of the missile cruiser, holding the pony James had been told by Pegasus messengers was named Princess Twilight Sparkle. Everyone on board decided, unanimously, that the experienced admiral would be the one to greet and speak with her, after gaining approval that came directly from the Pentagon.

He watched as the small Princess stepped unsteadily off the chariot, and he stepped to her side. "Hello, I am Admiral James Grozny, and I am glad to welcome you aboard the USS Hue City, Your Highness." he said, smiling.

Twilight Sparkle returned the smile, and spoke, "Thank you, Admiral."

James led her indoors, where they passed several doorways before he opened the door to a small room, containing only a table with several chairs. He and Twilight each sat in a chair across from each other. After they settled in, he decided to start right off. "So, I would like to ask you some questions. Most were devised by my leaders back in Washington, so I hope you don't mind it if it gets a little tedious." he chuckled.

"No, I don't mind at all." Twilight said.

The admiral opened a folder that was on the table in front of him, and started to read off some questions. "What is the name of your country, or countries if there's more than one on the island?"

" I represent the nation of Equestria, and we are the only nation on the island, excepting some border towns belonging to the nation of Yakyakistan, and the autonomous Crystal Empire." Twilight answered.

He read off more questions as time dragged on, and he learned some interesting things during his time in that small room, such as Equestria having four princesses with no king or queen (she was apprehensive when he asked about it) and that she was, officially, the Princess of Friendship. "She must have some kind of role in keeping the peace or something." he thought to himself.

Soon, he finished his session with the young Princess, and he stood up, thanking her for her time. Twilight Sparkle shook hand and hoof with him, and walked toward the stoically posed Pegasus ponies ready to fly her to HMS Severn, for another meeting.

James watched the chariot take off, under the new surveillance of Air Force helicopters making passes over Equestria, and then stepped back inside. He had a conversation with the Pentagon to look forward to.

President Obama

White House Press Room

Washington, D.C.

The president stepped onto the podium under the watchful eye of his Secret Service detail. He looked to the First Lady, Michelle, who gave him a thumbs up. He smiled in response, and, turning to the crowd of reporters and cameras in front of him, began to speak.

"My fellow Americans. Yesterday, the world was changed by a dramatic event unparalleled in human history,

At 3 pm, Eastern Standard Time, an island simply appeared, seemingly out of nowhere. Thanks to the efforts of our naval and air forces and that of our allies in Europe, we have made contact with  the inhabitants, and we have learned much from them already in the past 24 hours.

The nation on the island, the only one, is named Equestria. It is inhabited by a mass number of sentient creatures, the most prominent of which most resemble a kind of pony."

The President continued with his speech, sharing small tidbits of the new nation for about ten minutes while reporters frantically jotted down notes, some which would later be unrecognizable. Finally, Obama started to draw his speech to a close.

" Soon, all the nations will get to know this new nation, and will hopefully welcome it in with open arms. The United States of America certainly will. Thank you all, and God bless you, God bless Equestria, and most of all, God bless America."

President Obama walked from the podium amidst shouted questions from reporters and received a message from his chief of staff. He read it, and sighed. "Thank God I'll be out of here next year." he groaned inwardly.
