Past Lives New Lives

After the week of exposing the truth of mythical creature possible roaming the new nation, people were either hiding or carrying firearms to protect themselves. The city could be describe as a ghost town if there weren't some soldiers and police officers patrolling the area for any sign of threat. Making a party is hard enough when nobody seem to be in the mood to do so. However Terra Greene, the Minister of Agriculture, and Evgeni Vasiliev, the Minister of Culture, are the people organizing the event who won't back down from the challenge. They were communicating be using the lavalier microphone that are clipped on their shirts.

"Are you sure it would work?" Evgeni signed as she reviewed the plan, "Would a party cheer them up?"

Terra put her hand on Evgeni's shoulder, "That's the best we can do. We are trap here and we don't have any clue on what was trapping us. The best way to keep the morale up is to have a party and reassure them that everything is going to be alright."

Evgeni looked around to see all the decoration being hang up and tables being set up, "Could a few balloons and food really brighten the mood? How can we persuade people to come to the party? Even with all the protection, what make you think we can stop something bigger like a demon?"

"Don't worry I got that all cover. The fliers that I have sent out yesterday would guarantee that most people would come. I may have fib that a theory explained that good emotion will strengthen the forcefield."

"Isn't lying to the people is bad?"

She crossed her arms and explained her reasoning, "It's just a white lie. The government had been caught lying to us many times. Unlike us, it is beneficial to all of us. Not the politicians, banks, wealthy and the powerful."

"Even if this is safe, would it make people really make people happy?"

"Don't worry," Terra spun around to emphasize the decorations and placement, "We have been planning this the whole week. We are the most two experienced people to organize school events. We took in consideration on culture, religion, superstitions and taboo. I organized the placement so nobody would fight over some kind of conflicting culture. If this doesn't work, what will? Like it couldn't get any worse, right?"

Just within a couple of hours into the party, it was a major disaster.

Everybody looked really stiff while they were dancing. Foods and drinks were mostly untouched and whispers of being scared can be heard across the crowd. None of the fun activities were used at all.

"Great party, isn't it?" Evgeni joked as she was drinking from a beer can, "The people are really hype about it."

"They just need some encouragement," Terra looked around for something interesting, "Karaoke! I just sing a song and everybody would join in. Good music can really liven the mood."

Terra rushed to the karaoke stage, "Good luck. Don't make yourself a fool."

"Well this party sucks," Kevin said as he stood in the middle of the crowd, "My grandfather's birthday party have more energy than this."

"What do you expect?" Will leaned against the light pole, "Soldiers are around us and we're still trap. We got the only kid on this world who is babysit by Daniel. I know they have good intentions but the only thing we need now is any chance for getting us home."

Kevin crossed his arms and signed, "Even if they do, they need to find the right universe and the are infinity of them. We have better luck finding a needle in the ocean without removing any water."

"So we make the best of the worst situation," Will dragged Kevin to the food, "All of our friends is waiting at the table. We got protections from every direction. It is not likely for our situation to get worse."

"Dammit Will," Kevin knocked Will's head, "You just jinked us. We're fucking screw."

Will rubbed his head, "You don't bloody believe those stuff, do you?" A magical portal appeared in the middle of the dancing crowd. "You have to be fucking kidding me."

Everybody scattered and ran into the closest buildings while screaming in terror.

"Head to the cover!" commanded Terra with a karaoke microphone, "Don't leave until it is safe to do so."

The soldiers and police officers surrounded the portal while hiding behind the bulletproof shields and holding their guns toward it. As they waited, a figure floated down from the portal. Everybody went wide eyed as they just saw a pony.

"Chief? Am I drugged or do we just see a small pony?" Everybody who heard him just nodded their head.

It was a brown haired grey pony with a horn. It was wearing a lab coat which was obviously too big for it and not designed for ponies and safety goggles. The pony was looking around for a second before disappearing back into the portal by using the scroll which it brought.

"What the hell did we just witness?"

"Okay, we got proof that there are sapient species living in this world," Min showed a picture of the unicorn, "A creature wearing clothes and know how to teleport are not just some simple barn animal."

"Oh god," Aallotar, the Minister of Homeland Security rubbed her head, "People are now more scared of the outside world. What other mythical creatures we will see? Dragons, pegasi, fairies, gryphons, what next?"

"The forcefield is the only thing that kept us safe. However, they manage to get in but we cannot get out," Guido, the Minister of interior looked around for answer, "What should we do? They are now feel more unsafe than ever before. Not only wild animals but sapient beings. We are the aliens to them. We don't know how they will react to us."

"Calm down people," Amia was waving her hands to calm them down, "If we have manage to meet to them, I will negotiate with them and said we came here against our wills and we are not here to start a war."

"What if?" Barra, Minister of Trading asked, "What if they brought us here? Maybe they want to research us about adapting to a new world, the human culture, our government, etc. Are we being watch like if were on a TV show like Big Brother?"

"If that's the case, we'll show them that we are good people. Show them our culture, our intelligence, relationship between each race. If they see we are good people, they would greet us with open arms."

"Do you think they would accept us? Humans fight each other because of skin colors. Now we are the aliens to them so would they be kind enough to accept us or would they slaughter us?" Guido put both his hands on his hip, "I was mistreated when I visited America and they told me to go back to Mexico. Would they force us to go back home even though we do not know how to get back."

"Look we will deal with it when it comes but for now we need to keep the civilians safe."

Kevin and his friends ran and hid in Kevin's home with Daniel babysitting Robert. "Is everybody okay? I saw pictures of a pony appearing in the party," Daniel counted all his friends to see if everybody made it back home.

"We okay. Where is Robert?" asked Dexter, "It is not safe to be alone."

"He's in his room but this is the least of the worries. Right now we need to keep ourselves safe. So we making some ground rules," Daniel pulled out a large sheet of paper and wrote down the rules with a marker.

Rule number 1: Never be left alone.
Rule number 2: When leaving, you need to be in a group and one of the members need to know how to use a gun.
Rule number 3: Do not leave the human civilization and explore the field near the forcefield.
Rule number 4: Never assume any place is safe.
Rule number 5: If something drag us out from our home, try to stay together and avoid confrontation.
Rule number 6: If something weird come up, avoid it at all cost and call the authority.

"Does everybody understand this?" everybody nodded, "Good. We can only rely on ourselves. Do not be too open to other people. We do not know other people's motives. They are strangers and from different worlds. If worse things happen, we need to protect each other first."

"Do you think you are going to war?" Kevin was shocked to hear his reasoning, "We think we can only protect each other."

"Better safe than sorry. Look buddy this is a very delicate situation. To keep us safe, we need to find some kind of underground bunker and stack of supplies. This place have full of surprises. Maybe there is some underground abandoned room we can use. What if the guy cut off our supplies, the forcefield disappeared, some unknown disease? People will be fighting for survival," Daniel pulled out the map, "Just collect the supplies from the designated areas and we will find our safety bunker. I care for all of you and I am not willing to take a risk for our safety."

Princess Celestia was sitting on her favorite cushion on her balcony while sipping her favorite tea. When she saw the headline on Equestria Daily, she spat out her tea.

Unknown pony already met Humans, a picture of a pony from the party that she recognized.

Princess Luna rushed in with her own newspaper, "Sister, have you seen the news?"

"Yes, I need to write to Twilight. This is something that she needs to know."
