"On this day!" Celestia spoke proudly, "This mare will trot down to the newly discovered planet with life, 30.9 lightyears away from our own planet....as our representative.

"Please stepforward Daring Do!" Daring trotted her way onwards fully clad in her astronaut outfit, as the crowd of ponies clapped and cheered, some even trying desperately to get her attention the loudest of them being a pony with rainbow colored hair.

"This mission is highly dangerous, and there is no guarantee you might make it back alive, due to the unknown that resides on that star." Princess Celestia told Daring,, "You are doing us all proud..."

Daring saluted Princess Celestia, as she stepped onto the spaceship.


I watched as a spaceship landed on our land, something stumbled out.

It was an astronaut... it slowly took it's first step, "That's one small step for mare." Her voice was feminine, "One giant leap for Mare-kind."

The ponies and every-creature else watching live, around equis was unified in cheering...well most were...others looked on in envy or in pure disdain....but most were cheering.

"What do you see..." another regal voice was on the end of her communicator, "grass, cement...blue skies, a lot similar to Equis you're majesty."

Her eyes danced around before...they landed on me causing her to freeze.

"Daring do you copy?"

"Yes...I see...A s bipedal ape, in the shape, of a stallion.." she whispered to her com.

"A stallion?" Celestia's voice asked, "Facinating, is with a mare?""

"Negative you're highness."

"State Its motion." Celestia's voice ordered calmly

"It's jaw I believe it's open, if I am not mistaken it is in a state of disbelief-"

"Ask of it's designated mare." Celestia's voice said, "be polite, you do not know how this alien stallion will react."

"Yes Princess." Daring slowly walked over to me, tapped me on the shoulder, I blinked as I had to tilt my head upwards because she was towering over me.

"Excuse me sir?"

I looked to her unsure of how to react with such an unexpected arrival that is pretty much changing everything I currently knew about the universe.

Also, I'm pretty sure Nasa or the government would be knocking on my door soon.

I took a deep breath.

"Yes, how may I help you." I asked trying to be cool, one small mess up, I could cause world war three with aliens.

'Yay...'

"You speak ponish?" She tilted her head curiously.

'Ponish?'

"Yes, though here, it is called english." I explained, causing her to tilt her head.

"Where is your designated mare..."

"Mare...?" I asked curiously, "As in horse?"

She blushed slightly at this unknown to me, and my words caused quite a stir,

"Oh my..." Celestia tried to remain stoic but she was deeply intrigued, as were a lot of ponies either had blushes, or were grinning. Some even downright drooling at the thought of fantasies where alien stallions called them whorses and completely dominated them.

The Stallions there were weak and meek, even such a term would be considered avoidable to use to the designated mare either out of fear of angering them or simply because they did not want to disrespect them,.

"You get away with calling your mare a horse?" Daring asked slightly shocked, and I was slightly confused, as I was sensing something I was not getting.

"Well...yeah...all mares are horses." I said confused, "They get tied up against the rack, and sometimes we have to exert a lot of effort to make sure their needs are-"

"Mnn..."

"_taken care of..." I trailed off looking at her shocked, "Did you just..."

"Oh what...nothing." Daring coughed trying to get straight, "Well your mare is a very lucky mare, to have such a strong-willed stallion...do you mind if we speak to her?"

"Er...." I blushed slightly, an alien woman calling me a stallion was actually the best compliment any woman had ever really given me...but er...mare...is she referring to....

"Uh...no I we I...I don't have a mare, " I said with a chuckled must assume you thought I was referring to mares as in women? That's what we call our females on Earth, they are totally different."

"Oh you poor thing." Daring cooed, as she trotted up towards me, and began to massage my shoulders, "Don't worry, I'll be your mare I'll take ..

"Mnn...as nice as your massage feels..." I tried not to melt, as I slowly pried her hands off of my shoulder off if me.

She said mare right so I think they are hands, ,

"It would be....unwise to- oooh!"

She forced her hands on my shoulders and began to massage my shoulders once again, "I thought I told mnn..I thought I made it clear when I forced your hands away?"

"Hands...is that what you call claws?" She asked unknown to me she was being uncharacteristically gentle, as she was told to be to stallions, "Don't worry, tough guy, "You don't have to act tough with me.."

"Ma'am.." I bit my lip, "I tried to tell you once and I will tell you again...out of respect for difference, Oh....out of respect for our cultures, we don't....we...on earth don't...do that to strangers..."

"Daring," she cut off working her magic, "Call me daring Do"

"Ok daring...." I said with a hiss, "Let me put this in a way you will understand, "Get your...whatever you call them in your culture, off of me before I force them off with more force."

"Hooves." she answered, with a grin, "And a stallion playing hard to get is such an alien thing to us,, surely you and I are a match by-" I forced her off sending her stumbling back.

"Let's make things clear." I said sternly, but with a little wariness. Unsure if her touch would have any effect on me as she was an alien. That was one of the main reasons why I was freaking out..so far I am fine but I do not want my body to have a bad reaction the more she touched me.

"Don't touch me without my consent." I spoke with narrowed eyes causing her to flinch, "When I say no it is no, when I am uncomfortable I am uncomfortable."

Daring actually smirked at this, "Don't lie, I know you like this."

"I don't give a shit if I loved it." I hissed, "It is called respect, to you understand."

Silence...

In equestria, Silence, Many mares were gazing at the tv screens in wonder. many stallions this time were looking at the tv, specifically at me in admiration.

I didn't know how much of a stir my words and actions caused in their world..

"You know...." Daring do smirked slightly under her helmet, "You're the first stallion to stand up for himself."

I raised my eyebrow, "Oh? and what do you say about that, you didn't answer my question."

"Princess?"

In Equestria there was a silence, for a long moment before Princess Celestia spoke through her comms,

"Agree to the alien stallion." Her voice responded calmly, "Remember daring we do not know of it's species's culture, it is best to speak with an open mind rather than closed doors,"

There was a pause for a moment,

"Though I am certain that he does infact, enjoy your advances, irritating the stallion is a must not, it is bad enough he does not have a designated mare to comfort him."

"Yes you're highness." Daring replied before turning to me still looking at her curiously."Agreed."

"Great." I said with a grin, "and I still don't know why you landed on my backyard of all places on earth but welcome...I guess."

She tilted her head,"Earth." She repeated before she smiled, I smiled back.
