The people of Earth--everybody who saw their message, was still staring in awe at the aliens...
Oyster sighs somewhat nervously and turns off the the hack, their faces disappear from every device with a screen... "I.. hope they think about it?" she wonders.. "Um Oyster, I mean; Princess, correct? Please forgive me for being so rude before.." Jon starts, she nods with a smile, he then continues "I understand this ...plan, but your people really are coming to live with us in unity?". The princess replies " Yes, we're nearly all alone, and if we go down, there'll be nothing... At least, no more intelligent life, I ..well everybody on our planet believes our lives will be terrible thing to waste, correct?", Cecil snickers in some sarcasm "True!". Jon clears his throat " Um, ye,yes, we want to live and there are plenty of things that will be lost to the annual of time if either of our species were to die out..." he agrees.. "B,but, how will this work? You say your people will come here, and you'd bring some to your planet, until it arrives? And.. how does, um.. mating work? This is just.. kind of fast?". Oyster giggles and grabs his hands; her fingers are cold.. yet soft and delicate... The princess doesn't feel human temperature wise, but feels and somewhat looks enough to make him nervous... " Doctor Seward, please don't be fearful: we'll get to know each other, become friends and mates, so that we can make a more comionate and stronger race!" she replies "It's a very probable and risky plan, but it's one that'll ensure our survival! We've thought ahead for our children and forwards! Me and you, all of us here now might be relics of the past by the time this works, but at least we'll have children to sustain our history and existence!". Jon looks away somewhat, she indirectly answered his question but sounds so excited and cheerful about it, it was like talking to a human woman who.. seems to be flirting with him? " Um, um Princess, you say it like it'll be easy! I understand your race's concern though.." Jon replies, then looks back into her black eyes "We have predicted different scenarios how our planet will end, and have no immediate way to save it, without ruining our way of life! And I'm sure you might've ran into the same thing, too... We'll, I hope we'll be able to come up with something!". He unintentionally squeezes her fingers, making the princess gasp " Ah!" in slight pain!
Before her bodyguards could move a muscle, her brother ran to his side and laid his heavy hand on the doctor's shoulder!! "Dr Seward, let go of her; rather or not you intended any harm: we ARE still very different people!" Xanthodermus warns, the human bodyguards get ready to shoot, but Jon lets go of her and quickly tells "Stop it! It's a minor thing, it's all my fault, please put the guns down!".. the human guards and Quince lets down their arms... Though the cowboy is more so ready to kill, than the simply cautious bodyguards... "A few people of our planet, including my own sister; endeavors to unite with your race; but it seems neither of you truly understand we need to be careful around each other.. This is your only warning, do NOT harm her!" Xanthodermus warned angrily... "I, I understand..." Jon replied "I just...". " Did nothing..." Oyster butts in, then turns towards her brother "There wasn't any reason to go that far, everybody balls their fist when they get nervous!" she explains.. "There's no reason for that right now, you're merely telling him our plans..." her brother replies.. "But, this is a big step for us both!" she started.... When a captain suddenly walks into the room "Dr Seward, Gomez, Smithson and Kent; you along with our... guests, are summoned to Washington DC. The President wants to talk further with them..." he warned, Jon and the others look surprised... The president agreed before... "Ah, great! We were going to ask you to take us to your leader, but he wants to see us!" Oyster cheerfully adds...
In the next day; several `rainstorms` appeared in different places around the world; the rain itself was .. actually that, but many handful of spores poured down to; which formed into more mushroom denizens!! Though, only in specific places... scientist, fanatics and posh neighborhoods only received the people, and were unhurt there.. though many were unwelcomed too...
The day before Xanthodermus and Oyster could meet the president: Quince was sitting in his recliner at home... nervously checking his cell, then flipping channels on TV... "Dangit! They said they're already there! What the heck's going on in that building!!!?" he thought aloud, Mina looks up from her book.. "Quince, stop that! You've been driving yourself crazy! It's only been a day and a half, and you've worried yourself sick!" she warned her husband! The cowboy stands up and walks to her "You mean to tell me that you're not afraid of 'em monsters!!!? Maybe you need ta see the ugly things up close so you'd know how deep of doody we're in!" he yells, "I'm afraid too! I never thought this would be a real thing!" she replies angrily "But looking around on that thang, and screaming at the TV ain't gonna help anybody!". She stands and adds "Calm down, you can't do anythin' by sittin' around and worrying all the time!", "Fine then! I know what I'll do!" Quince retorts and storms out. "Where in tarnation are you goin'!?" she calls in frustration, "Away, for a day or somethin' to go up to tha Cordells'!" he retorted angrily! She huffs angrily and sits back down..
Meanwhile, in a government owned building in North Carolina; SWAT surrounds a inner room, away from the entrance/exit to the city streets.. "This was a ordeal..." Charles sighed, "True, the amount of convincing it took to have them not push them around was.... I'm not sure if this will work..." Jon replies in worry... "You have to look from their side; we're an buncha wackos who're letting these aliens into our ranks, I'm surprised this isn't a trap to just kill us all... Kudos to their guards not acting out like they do!" Randolph sighs... Jon sits on a couch in the creepily quiet room... The princess gets up from her her couch and walks to him "My dear Doctor, don't be worried; there's a reason our people are still coming down, despite this.. We really need your help, and are hoping to help you.. Our bodyguards are reflecting that too.." Oyster reveals, her brother walks beside her "That's very true, and while I still don't trust most of your race; I can see this trip here was stressful for you too... For that, I.. can at least say I believe your wish to try this planetary union, is as true as my sister's... I ..will try trusting you.." Xanthodermus says in a less aggressive tone.. "What? That's a huge compliment coming from him!" his sister laughs, causing Xanthodermus to roll his eyes... "Th,thank you!" Jon replies nervously and in surprise "I promise you that I'll do everything in my power to ensure our president, people and my friends here will be as pleasant as possible..." he assures in the end.. Charles laughs "We ARE all on the same side, you people seem kind, and if it weren't such a tricky situation, we would've demanded better traveling conditions, too!", the others laugh some.. "Yes, that plane, right? Was incredibly uncomfortable..." Xanthodermus agrees, "Yes, yes... And that plane food!" Jon adds..
The group of ambassadors start to get along with the aliens, despite their rough ride to the president!
