“… What?”

“You heard me Luna. Do you want to get married?” Celestia asked her sister once more.

Luna stood there for a while, still not being able to comprehend what her sister had just said. “M-M-M-Marriage?” She said softly. “W-What in-“

“You, going down the aisle, and meeting Fiery at the end.”

“F-Fiery?” Luna asked in disbelief.

“Celly, let’s just get Fiery and the others and tell them what the plan is already. Time is running short and the humans aren’t going to wait for us.” Starry told Celestia.

“W-Wait, what’s this about humans?”

Celestia sighed, then looked at her sister and spoke. “We’ll retrieve Fiery and the others in the morning, and then we’ll tell you everything Luna, I promise.”

“Tia! Marriage! What in the world were you talking about?! You can’t just stop after asking me something like that!”

“I’m sorry Luna, but that’s the way it’ll have to be… Besides, don’t you have court or patrol or something to do?”

Luna scowled and turned away from her sister as she stood straight and stuck her nose up in the air. “Very well then, be that way.” She said in an annoyed tone as she walked away and left the room.

“Was it really necessary to ask her that right now if you weren’t going to tell her about the humans and their portal?”

“Of course, I want to have some fun with my sister sometimes as well. I’m allowed that much, aren’t I?”

Starry rolled her eyes and answered Celestia. “I guess so, though I don’t think Luna appreciated it.”

“Oh, she’ll get over it. Now go, you need to get ready for Fiery’s arrival tomorrow morning. I’ll write the letters and send them out before I meet the team in the forest.”

“Very well Celly, whatever you say.” Starry told her friend, and then left the room.

As Starry left, Celestia pulled out some ink, a piece of paper, and a quiver and began to write. ‘Dear Fiery…’
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fiery woke up early in the morning, the two mares beside him in bed with their maid outfits still on and smiles on their faces as they slept peacefully. Fiery chuckled a bit to himself as he looked at Vinyl in her maid outfit, and thought it looked adorable on her.

Fiery began to carefully get out of bed, and when he reached the edge and was about to get out, he felt a tug on his arm. He looked back to see Octavia grabbing a hold of him, awake and smiling. She started to speak in a soft voice as to not wake Vinyl. “It’s not nice to leave before the mare wakes up you know.”

A smirk found itself on Fiery’s face as Octavia made the joke. Then, he whispered back to her. “Come on, let’s go downstairs and let sleeping beauty continue resting.” He looked back at Vinyl. Octavia giggled softly and nodded, then got out of bed along with Fiery, and the two had gone downstairs together.

When the two got downstairs, they saw a royal letter lying on the floor. Fiery went over to pick it up and opened it. He began to read it out loud for Octavia to hear. “Dear Fiery, I require your presence along with Ms. Pie at the castle in the morning. A chariot will pick you up in the morning. From, Princess Celestia.”

Octavia looked at Fiery with curious eyes and spoke up. “That’s it? That’s all there is? No description of what she needs or anything?”

“Apparently not-“ Fiery answered here as he rolled the letter back up with his magic and looked back at Octavia. “But perhaps you’ll want to get out of that outfit before the chariot arrives?” Fiery asked with his usual smirk.

Octavia looked at herself, turning her head to see her body, and became red at the sight of the maid outfit. “I-It’s not what you think!”

“’Tavi…” That was all Fiery needed to say to get her to understand that he already knew what the outfit was about.

Octavia continued to be bright red as she looked up at Fiery and smiled a little smile. “Um, perhaps I should go and change out of this…”

“Yeah, that would be great. I’ll go and shower up then while you do that, that is, unless you want to join me before we get going, huh?”

“Fiery!” Octavia exclaimed.

Fiery began to laugh some as he answered the mare. “Sorry, sorry, just thought I’d have some fun, that’s all.”

“Yeah, well, you almost collapsed from exhaustion last night, so no sex for a week, okay?”

Fiery sighed and nodded. “Alright…”

“Good. Now if you don’t mind, I’m going to Vinyl’s room to take this uniform off and to use her shower.”

“Alright then. Meet you down here in fifteen?”

“That sounds fine.” Octavia answered him as she began to climb the stairs.

Fifteen minutes later, the two were ready to go, and right as they got down, there was a knock on the door. Fiery walked over to the door and opened it to reveal a royal guard standing there. “Mr. Embers? Your presence, along with Ms. Pie, is required at the castle. Are you two all ready?”

Fiery looked back at Octavia. “Are we all ‘Tavi?”

“Yes, I am. I left Vinyl a note in case she forgets after I woke her up and told her.”

Fiery nodded and looked back at the guard. “It seems we’re all ready then.”

“Very well then, please come this way.” The guard said in a serious tone, and then turned around to show the two ponies to the chariot. Fiery and Octavia followed the guard, and got on the chariot with no luggage, and began to make their way to Canterlot.

While they were up in the air, Fiery had noticed that there was another chariot coming from Twilight’s house, with Twilight and Frostbite in it. ‘Huh.’ He thought. ‘I wonder if they’re coming with us… Well, I guess there’s only one way to find out…’
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back on Earth, inside a secret laboratory in New Mexico, a team of four US Special Forces members, fully geared and equipped, were getting ready to go through a portal that had been finally completed days earlier. The team was suppose to be the first humans to go through the portal, and to find if what on the other side was inhabitable or not.

Just then, a general with three stars on his shoulders walked up to the team and addressed them. “Alright boys, you’ve been debriefed on what you need to do. If there’s any trouble, we’ll be able to contact you via satellite video and radio through your helmets. Both the President and I are waiting to hear positive results. Now, any questions?” One of the soldiers raised his hand. “Yes Captain?”

“If you don’t mind me asking General, how are we suppose to get back?”

“Ah, a good question. If what I’ve heard from the scientists is right, then they had built a robot to go through the portal. From what they could tell, the air was breathable, and the planet was very much like ours, but… different. Anyways, to answer your question Captain, they were able to retrieve the robot when they had opened the portal up at the same location. Any more questions?”

“Yes General, why this planet? If we’ve spent our entire time spending billions, if not trillions, of dollars to build a portal to go to a planet that’s already inhabited by an intelligent race, why couldn’t we have used that money to find a way to set up a colony on Mars or something?”

“Because that isn’t the job of the Department of Defense. That’s NASA’s problem. Now anymore idiotic questions?”

“If you don’t mind me asking General…”

The General sighed. “What is it Captain?”

“Well, it’s like Lieutenant Jackson asked sir, why this specific planet, and say, one that’s just as inhabitable and quite possibly more resources on it? As well as it not having an intelligent race inhabiting it?”

The General stayed silent for a few seconds, looking at his men, before he answered. “In truth Captain, it’s because this planet is the only planet that we know of that is inhabitable and is able to support human life. Granted, we know of other planets, but… We have no idea how to get to them. The portal is apparently only made to go to this specific planet. I don’t know how, nor do I care why, but when we took the plans for this machine from the Germans seventy years ago when it was apparently hidden away with some other documents, they already knew much about the planet. Unfortunately, they either burned all the other information and forgot to burn the blueprints and the documents that was with it while they killed their own scientists to keep quiet about it, or, for some odd reason, they focused on this planet alone. Does that answer your question Captain Young?”

The Captain nodded. “Yes General Thornton.”

“Good.” The General replied as he nodded at his troops. He then turned to the scientists. “Are we all ready?”

One of the scientists replied as they turned their attention from the portal to the General. “Yes sir, everything is ready. The team can go through whenever they’re ready.”

The General nodded and turned back to the soldiers, then saluted them. “Good luck boys, and Gods speed.”

The soldiers saluted back, when a large flash from the portal appeared, and then a blue vortex began to swirl inside the machine, meaning that it was ready. A few seconds later, the soldiers began to march into the vortex, where they would be sucked into a new world to explore it for humanity.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the soldiers walked onto the other side of the vortex, they were greeted by a clearing in a thick and dark forest. The leader of the team, one Major Winters, turned around and addressed the team when they got through and had put down all their gear as they looked around the place, surveying the area.

“Alright team, we’ll set camp here, then, we’ll search the area. Got it?” But the team didn’t reply, as they seemed to be looking at something behind the Major as it flew down quietly behind him, mere feet away. “What’s wrong with you guys? Hey!” The Major began to snap his fingers in front of the soldiers, to try to get a response, but got none.

Finally, after snapping his fingers for some time, the Major had gotten a response from Captain Young. “Uh… Major?”

Major Winters turned his attention to the Captain. “What is it Captain?” The Major asked, but only got an arm pointing in response. The Captain raised his arm to point at something behind the Major, causing the Major to turn around, and see a large white horse, with wings and a horn on top of its head. It also seemed to be… smiling… “What the-“

“Why hello there.” The horse replied, giving the soldiers a shock. Out of fear, the lowest ranking one of them, Second Lieutenant Walker raised his gun and began to shoot at the freak of nature, his gun flashing with a blazing light.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally after flying in the air for almost an hour, the four ponies had made it to Canterlot. “What are you guys doing here?” Fiery asked Twilight and Frostbite as they got off.

“We got a letter from Princess Celestia saying to come here right away, but it didn’t say why. I’m guessing you guys got the same message?” Twilight answered, before Fiery nodded to her question.

“What do you think it could possibly be about?” Octavia asked, but the others only shrugged.

“Well I guess the only way to find out is to go in and ask Celestia what’s up.” Frostbite spoke up, and then got jabbed in the side by Twilight. “Ow! What was that for?!”

“That’s Princess Celestia, Frostbite.” Twilight corrected him.

Frostbite sighed and shook his head as Octavia and Fiery chuckled a bit to themselves. As all four walked up to the door leading into the Canterlot Palace, they saw that Luna was standing at the entrance, waiting for them. However, this time, something seemed off about her. As they got closer, Fiery could see that Luna was blushing furiously, but couldn’t understand why. “Hey Luna-“ He spoke up, trying to get her to talk. “What’s up?”

“O-Oh, um, h-hello Fiery.” Luna replied very shyly. “I-If you don’t mind, I’ll have you four follow me to the throne room, where m-my sister and Starry will be waiting for us…”

“Alright then Luna, lead on.” Fiery answered for them with a smile.

Luna, who was still blushing, was still able to do her job as she nodded her head at Fiery and then turned around where she began to walk in the direction of the throne room, with the four other ponies following them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As they got into the throne room, Starry was already there waiting for them, just like Luna had said, but Celestia was nowhere to be seen. “Starry-“ Luna started. “Where’s Tia?”

Starry smiled and answered Luna. “Oh, she’s just getting some extra guests, that’s all.” The others were completely confused as to what she had meant by that, but their thoughts were interrupted as Starry continued. “Now, for the reason we brought you here today.”

“So what’s this all about then mom?” Fiery asked.

“Well Fiery, I guess I should tell you from the start and of what happened 1,000 years ago… Right before we had sent you to the future and turned you human, Celestia had told me that our race was going to be brink of death. What we told you was that it was because of a population problem, but… that wasn’t the truth.”

“W-What do you mean?”

Starry sighed and answered Fiery. “The truth is, we did that because she had seen a vision about our world being overrun by humans. Our people dying as the humans slaughtered us for food or for our horns or wings or coats…”

“W-Wait, you mean humans… as in the same humans from Earth?” Frostbite asked, and Starry nodded.

“But how?! How in the world-“

“Hold on Fiery, I was just getting to that.” Starry said as she interrupted her son. “You see, it seems an old friend of ours, one that we thought was killed by Luna-“ Starry paused as she looked over at Luna, who was shocked at the accusation. “Was reborn as a human on Earth, but with the knowledge of the homeworld somehow.”

Luna stayed silent for a few seconds before speaking up. “Was… Was it when I was Nightmare Moon?”

Starry shook her head. “No… It was Lunar Twister.”

“B-But!”

“I know Luna. I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s the truth, I can assure you that. I don’t know how he survived your spell, but perhaps his sheer hatred for Fiery caused him to change the spell at the last moment, despite him being a pegasus, and make him be reborn as a human on Earth, but I digress. Our intelligence that had been planted on Earth and into its governments, have told us that the country that Frostbite and Fiery grew up in-“

“The United States?” Fiery asked, completely confused.

“Correct, the United States of America as you call it, have been working on a portal for the past 6 years when they stole the plans from Lunar’s old country where his laboratory in another country called Germany was stormed.”

“Wait, 68 years ago? Wouldn’t that be-“

“Yeah Pat-“ Fiery interrupted his friend. “World War Two… Fucking Nazis…”

“Who?” Twilight asked.

“Don’t worry about Twilight.“ Frostbite told her. “Anyways, so what you’re saying is that the US has this portal, and are going to go through it… Well, we’re boned.”

“Not quite Frostbite.” Starry told him. “You see, right now, those ‘guests’ as I said earlier, are actually a team of special forces that were sent here to scout the world out. Celestia is currently where they’re suppose to appear, and are going to ‘welcome’ them.”

“What do you mean-“ Fiery began to ask, but was cut off by a large flash of light behind them.

“Ah, it seems Celestia has returned.” Starry spoke up as the light faded, revealing Celestia and the four humans that stood there, stunned. Second Lieutenant Walker kept pulling the trigger on his gun, trying to shoot Celestia, but to no avail as his gun clicked, and all the bullets he had fired were hovering in front of Celestia, then fell to the ground.

“Well, that’s one way to make an introduction.” Celestia commented as she looked down at the ground where the bullets fell. She looked back up at the team and smiled. “Well then, perhaps we should introduce ourselves, hmm?”

The other ponies in the room had turned around to see the humans, and were stunned. The first one to speak in the room was the human Winters, as he took a step forward and spoke softly. “What… What the hell *are* you?”

“Well Mr. Human, I could very well ask you the same thing, but I obviously know what you are so there’s no point in doing so.” Celestia replied with a smile. “Now, I guess I should start by saying Welcome to Equestria humans.” She told them with an even larger smile.

“E-Eque-“ Winters started but was cut off by Celestia.

“Equestria, correct. I am the ruler, Princess Celestia. Now who might you be humans?” She asked as politely as possible.

The humans, as well as ponies in the room, stood in silence, when Major Winters spoke up. “U-Um, M-Major Winters, U-US Army… These a-are my m-men.” He said, then began to list off the members of the team.

When Major Winters was finished, Celestia smiled and nodded. “Very well Major Winters, I appreciate you telling us your names. Now, I suppose I should ask you if you have a way to communicate with your old home?”

“U-Um, y-yes, we d-do.” Major Winters replied, then nervously began to tap his helmet. “C-Camera and Audio…”

“Oh! So the humans back on Earth can hear and see us? Excellent! Then this makes things so much easier.”

Finally, Luna had snapped out of her stunned moment and spoke up. “T-Tia? What are you planning?” Luna asked her sister nervously.

“Something I think we’ll be able to all agree on Luna.” Celestia replied to her sister as she turned her head to Luna, then looked back at the humans and smiled. “Now, I suppose it’s been long enough. Fiery? Luna? Come with me. Starry? You know what to tell the others.”

“Very well Celestia.” Starry replied as she bowed. Everyone in the room became confused as to what was happening.

“Wh-“ Fiery began to ask, but was cut off as Celestia used the same spell she had used earlier to teleport the humans to the castle, and when the spell faded, the humans, Fiery, and Luna, along with Celestia, vanish.

A few seconds after Celestia and the others were gone, Octavia spoke out in a panicked manner. “W-What just happened?!”

“Calm down Octavia, everything is fine, I promise you.” Starry spoke up. “Celestia is just taking the humans as well as those two back to the place the humans came from, and are going to go see their leader to talk to him about this whole portal deal.”

“But why does she need Fiery and Princess Luna?!” Octavia again nearly screamed out of fear.

“Calm down Octavia, and I’ll tell you… As I said, Celestia is going to talk to their leader about the portal, and is going to set up a treaty of sorts with the US.”

“B-But how?!” Frostbite yelled this time.

“… Political marriage.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When the flash disappeared the four humans and three ponies were back in the place that the humans had gone to when they went through the portal. The humans looked at Celestia with fright, but she only smiled back. “Are you sure your camera and audio are still working Major?” Celestia asked. The Major only nodded in response. “Very good then. If it’s possible, I’d like for your people back on your world, to open the portal that you came through. Then, I wish for us to go back through the portal with you four. Understand?”

The soldiers all nodded, and then the Major began to speak on the microphone that was put in his helmet. “G-General?”

“I heard it Major. I don’t know what the fuck is going on, but if that thing can stop bullets, I’m not taking any chances with my boys. We’re going to open the portal, and then have some more soldiers waiting there for when they come through. Don’t worry Major, we’ll make sure you and the others are out of the way before we shoot as we’ll try to catch it off guard. Perhaps then it’ll actually be killed and we can continue with the operation after the other two are killed.”

The Major nodded at Celestia. “I-It seems they’re opening the portal.”

Celestia smiled and nodded. “Very good. I appreciate your cooperation with this Major. I promise you I will not harm you or any of your people, so long as you don’t attack us.” Celestia told the Major, but he felt as though she was directly speaking to the General at that last sentence.

A minute later, the same vortex that had appeared before, appeared before them once again. The humans were the first to go through the portal, and when Celestia was about to do the same, Fiery stopped her. “Wait a moment Celestia.”

Celestia stopped to look back at Fiery. “Yes Fiery?”

“What is this all about? Why are we following them through the portal?”

“Yes Tia-“ Luna spoke up. “Why are we doing this? Why aren’t the rest with us?”

Celestia simply smiled before replying to them. “Just leave everything to me you two… Oh! But one thing before we go through.” Celestia’s horn began to glow then, and a few seconds later, the three of them were enveloped in a bright light. Soon after they were surrounded by the light, their forms changed from pony to human. As the light faded, Celestia opened her eyes and smiled at how well she had done. “Well, I’m glad I was able to perfect the clothing spell before we got there, otherwise it would quite embarrassing by human standards to walk in there completely naked. Now come along you two, we have much to do.” The now human Celestia said, and then turned back to the portal and walked through it.

Luna and Fiery looked at one another, confused. Luna, about a few inches shorter than Fiery, with her light blue mane as her hair, and a dress as dark as her coat, with an emblem that represented her Cutie Mark on each side of her hips. Fiery looked pretty much the same, but with fire red shirt and pants, shoes included, with a large raging fire emblem on the shirt to represent his Cutie Mark. The only difference was from the time before was that instead of brown hair, his hair represented his unicorn mane, orange with small amounts of blue and white.

The two shrugged at each other, and then went through the portal, following Celestia back to Earth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Celestia, Fiery, and Luna had stepped through the portal, and waiting on the other side for them, were ten fully armed soldiers, pointing their guns at them, with a man between them who seemed to be their commanding officer, decorated in medals and stars. Celestia smiled and spoke. “Well, not quite the welcoming committee I was hoping for.”

“I don’t know what you are, but if you’re smart enough, I’d suggest you give yourself up immediately.” The officer, a General that Fiery noticed, said.

“I’m afraid I can’t do that.” Celestia answered the General with a smile that seemed harmless, but could easily be seen as threatening. “For you see, you humans aren’t the ones who are making the rules here.”

The General was stunned at the comment, but was able to return to his usual stern attitude, and spoke out to his men. “Men, get ready to-“ But before he could continue, the soldiers began to scream in pain as they dropped their weapons. The General turned and looked at his men with a confused look. “What the hell is wrong you?!” He asked, but then began to feel an extreme burning sensation at his hip, where he kept his pistol. He yelped in pain as he quickly tried reaching to the spot where the heat was coming from, when he realized he wasn’t going to be able to grab his pistol to throw it away. His only choice to stop the pain was to take off his pants, and he did just that.

Fiery and Celestia began to laugh a bit to themselves when they saw the General take his pants off, to reveal bright white briefs. Luna was the only one confused as to why they were laughing. After her laughter, Celestia collected herself and spoke again with a stern and authoritative voice this time. “I told you, you humans are not the ones who making the rules here. Now, I’d suggest that if you are smart enough, that you will stop your foolishness, and bring me and my friends to…” She then turned to Fiery. “Fiery, what is the leader of your country called?”

“You mean the term for the person? Or the actual person?”

“Both, if you please.” Celestia answered him with a smile.

“Well, the term would be called President, and I believe Barack Obama is still in office…”

“Very well then.” Celestia said as she turned back to the General. “Ahem, I’d like you to take both me and my friends here to your President.”

“And if we don’t?” The General asked back, trying to be as threatening as possible. He thought he was so clever, thinking that the power of the US could easily defeat this puny being, but was soon corrected as he nearly pissed himself at what happened next.

Celestia smiled once more and spoke. “Or this happens.” She said, then raised her hand slightly. One second later, the guns that were lying on the ground, had become bright red, and then started to melt. The heat coming from the guns was so intense, that it had caused the soldiers and the General to back away from them. As the now-melted guns became a part of the floor, Celestia spoke once more. “Do you understand the situation now human?”

The General nodded to her question, now scared out of his mind of what Celestia could do next. “I-I-I’ll c-contact the president.”

Celestia had placed her usual smile on her face once more and spoke. “Very good.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After telling the General that it would be better for them to go to the President, instead of the President going to them, he had sighed and agreed. He had wanted to keep them secure, but had found out that it was better not to argue with Celestia, who, despite smiling all the time, kept threatening them if things didn’t go her way. It was a side that had frightened even Fiery and Luna, but still knew they were in good hooves, that Celestia would never harm them.

It was about five to six hours before the three of them had reached Washington D.C., and after an hour of waiting some more, they were allowed to speak with the President in the Oval Office. Celestia and Luna had treated it like it was just another political meeting between leaders, as where Fiery was becoming ever so nervous as they approached the office.

‘I’m really going to meet him!’ Fiery thought to himself as he trailed behind Celestia and Luna, who were following the General. ‘Does my hair look fine? Do I look appropriate enough? Wait, why the hell am I in a t-shirt and jeans?!’

Celestia rolled her eyes at Fiery’s thoughts and responded to him. ‘You look fine Fiery. The point of this meeting isn’t about how you look, but rather about the portal. Just let me do the speaking and everything will be fine.’

Finally, they had reached the door of the Oval Office, and the three of them were told to wait outside while the General knocked on the door. A few seconds later, a member of the Secret Service opened the door, and the General began to whisper to the Service member. A few seconds after that, the Service member nodded and had let the General in as the other three waited outside to be let in.

About a minute later, multiple people from inside the office began to come out, giving the three strange looks as they came out. Fiery didn’t recognize any of them, except for one person. “Dad!”

Stephen looked at Fiery with questionable eyes. “Joseph? Is that you…? What the hell did you do to your hair?”

“Wha? What do you mean?”

Stephen shook his head in disbelief. “Never mind.” He then looked at Celestia and recognized her, despite the flowing multicolored hair. “Not really subtle in disguise, are you?”

Celestia smiled a bit and spoke. “I’m sorry how our last meeting went Mr. Noble. I can promise you though that we’ve been treating Fi- err, Joseph, quite well in Equestria.”

Stephen nodded when he looked back at Fiery. “So what are you three doing here?”

Fiery shrugged. “I don’t know, first there was the portal and now-“

“It’s quite alright Fiery, I’ll explain.” Celestia interrupted. “You see Mr. Noble, your government has been working on a portal, so to speak, and today they were able to go through it. That portal, lead to Equestria.”

“A portal?” Stephen asked in disbelief.

“That’s correct. I can assume you can understand why we’re here then.”

“Diplomatic reasons I presume.” Stephen said to her, and getting a nod in response. “I see…”

Just then the door of the Oval Office opened to reveal the General from earlier. “Alright you three, you’re able to come in.”

“Uh, General…”

“Thornton, son.” The General responded to Fiery.

“General Thornton… Do you, uh, mind if my father, Congressman Stephen Noble, joins us?” Fiery asked, loudly and clearly enough for the President inside to hear.

General Thornton looked back into the office, and a second later, looked back at Fiery and nodded. “Very well, it’s permissible. Is that alright with you Congressman Noble?”

“If it gets me out of the Capital building for a while, sure, I see why not.” Stephen responded as he chuckled a bit as his own joke.

“Alright then. You four, please get inside now.” General said to the four, and they all nodded in response.

The four walked inside, and there, sitting in his chair, was President Barack Obama, with Vice President Joe Biden standing next to him. “So-“ He started to say. “What’s this about a portal and a new planet?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally, after explaining for an hour to the President about the situation, he spoke up. “So what you’re telling me, is that for the past 68 years, the United States of America have been working on a portal to another world, technology stolen from the Germans, and I was given no information about it when I came into office?”

“Err, yes sir, that’s correct.”

“And tell me, why shouldn’t I fire you right now General Thornton?”

General Thornton had become silent, but was able to find his voice once more when he thought of something. “Permission to speak freely, sir?”

“Permission granted General.”

“To be honest sir, President Truman had issued the order that no president after him be told of the portal until it was complete and that it was working fine.”

President Obama sighed and leaned back in his chair. He then looked to the Vice President and spoke. “What do you make of all this Joe?” He asked, speaking as though the other people in the office weren’t there.

“Well Mr. President, I think that this new world… Err, what was it called again?” The Vice President asked as he looked over at Celestia.

“Terra.” She simply replied.

“Right, Terra… I think it would be an excellent plan to make trading arrangements with-“

“Actually Mr. Obama-“ Celestia interrupted. “I actually came here to ask you that you and your race of people, the humans, would stay off my planet, granted for a small number of exceptions where we would allow for a few to come for trade agreements of my choosing.”

All the attention turned to Celestia. Even Luna and Fiery were surprised at how aggressive Celestia had gotten in a matter of seconds. It was then that the President spoke up. “And if we refuse?”

Celestia smiled and got up from her chair. She then walked over to the windows, and while she looked outside, spoke. “Do you like the warmth of the sun Mr. Obama?”

“… Yes?”

“What do you think the world would be like without it?”

“You can’t be serious Tia.” Luna spoke out, but the President answered.

“The world would freeze to death… Is there some point you’re trying to make?”

Celestia looked at the President and smiled. She then held out her hand, and pointed out her index finger as though she was going to turn a switch off. “On-“ She stated before making a motion of turning something off, and everything became dark. “Off… On, off, on, off, on, off.” She kept repeating as she turned the sun on and off like a light switch.

‘Jesus Christ, she has powers of the sun here as well?!’ Fiery thought to himself as Celestia played with the sun.

“W-What the hell is going on?!” Stephen yelled out as the room kept becoming dark and light.

After a while of playing with the sun, Celestia stopped and smiled at President Obama as she turned the sun back on. “In case you haven’t figured it out yet Mr. Obama… I have control of the sun. In other words, if you step one foot on my planet, you can say hello to eternal night.”

“YAY!” Shouted Luna exuberantly. Fiery looked at Luna with suspicion at the outburst, causing her to blush after she settled down.

President Obama sat there, completely calm, as the others in the room besides Luna started to panic from Celestia’s power. “Fine… But perhaps we can reach some sort of agreement. It’s not every day that you meet an alien race that’s able to take on the form of humans and are able to control the sun.”

“Very well Mr. Obama, that’s acceptable, but it’ll be on my conditions.” She said with a smile.

“Fine… What do you want?”

Celestia continued to smile as she walked back to her seat, and sat down. “It seems to me, that all the resources you have here on Earth, we have pretty much on Terra as well. However, unlike your race, I have been able to keep my race in control of taking only what we need, and nothing more. This of course, has given us an abundance of resources that we are willing to give away, if you are to agree to one condition.”

“And that is?”

“I’d like to sign a treaty between our nations, in the form of a marriage.”

President Obama cocked an eyebrow as she said ‘marriage’, while the others looked completely confused. “Marriage…? You mean as in an arranged or political marriage, correct?” He asked Celestia, and got a nod in response. He sighed and spoke again. “You’ll have to forgive me Princess, but the last marriage that was like that was nearly 100 years ago here in the United States. It’s pretty much illegal for our citizens to be forced to be married, especially for political reasons.”

Before Celestia could answer him, there was a knock on the door, and General Thornton had gone to answer it. He opened the door slightly and began to speak to someone outside, and then he looked back inside the room. “It seems people are panicking because of your little stunt Princess. We need to make a public speech to calm the masses down.”

Celestia blushed a little, but spoke out. “Very well then, but what the people don’t know, won’t hurt them, correct?” Celestia asked the President.

“What are you getting at?”

“Just give us the human, tell his parents of the situation, and we’ll be on our way. We’ll even invite them to the wedding if they wish to come.”

“You speak as though you already know who you want.”

Celestia smiled and nodded. “Indeed I do. After all, he’s been living in Equestria for the past couple of months.” She then turned to Fiery and continued to smile. “Isn’t that right Joseph?” She asked as she gave him a wink.

Fiery was about to speak out against it, but was jabbed in the elbow by Stephen. He turned to look at his father, who was nodding furiously, telling him that he needed to do it in code. Fiery sighed and looked back at Celestia, then smiled. “Uh… Yeah, that’s right…”

“Great! Joseph will marry Luna, and then your country will get what they want. Is that acceptable Mr. Obama?”

“Wait, wha-“ Fiery had spoken out, but was quickly shut quiet as Celestia summoned a zipper on his mouth and closed it.

President Obama cocked another eyebrow as he looked at Celestia with suspicion. He then looked at Stephen and spoke. “Is this alright Congressman Noble? Are you and your wife alright with your son getting married like this?”

“I’m sure Debra will be delighted to hear the news. His biological mother on the other hand…”

“You don’t think she will like it?”

Stephen shook his head. “No, it’s not that. I spoke to her not too long ago about Joseph when we found him and such, but I had never told her about, um…” He looked over at Celestia with a nervous smile. “Them.”

President Obama nodded and then sighed. “Fine, I understand… I guess we’ll set up the official treaty some other time then?”

“That sounds acceptable Mr. Obama… Who knows, maybe soon we’ll be able to actually tell your world of our existence.”

President Obama smirked at the comment. “Sounds wonderful.” He then got up and began to walk around his desk. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a nation to calm down. General Thornton will show you back to the-“

“That won’t be necessary Mr. Obama.” Celestia told him with another smile, and then her hands began to glow. Soon after, a bright light erupted, and she, as well as Fiery and Luna, had disappeared.

Right after the three disappeared, the Vice President spoke up. “Was this such a good idea? To let them do what they want?” He asked as he looked at the President.

The President looked back and spoke. “Do you want to be known as the administration that let aliens destroy the world?” The Vice President shook his head. “Good. Now, we have a nation to address.” And with that, he left the room.

Hey Guys, hate to end it here, but thought it’d be good to do so. Sorry if this wasn’t the best of chapters, as I was just really trying to go through it and get it done with, just so I could get on with the wedding and such. Also, before anyone says it, fuck it! I don’t care if I didn’t get President Obama’s mannerism down! It was for one chapter! Anyways, it’s most likely that I will finally be getting a part-time job this weekend. This means that my chapters will come out a little later, but won’t by too much. Goodnight and see you next chapter.
