Now the Ambassadors and Aliens are taken to the whitehouse; as normal, the security is tight, and very pushy... Only Xanthodermus and Oyster's bodyguards keep them from directly interacting with the royal siblings... It's also awkward for them to get into rooms, since their fungi caps/hair(?); what seems to be their heads, get in the way all the time.. Though, it seems to bend, fold and twist easily without really stopping them from getting into places...
They then meet the president at the oval office; he stands upon seeing the aliens in the room! "Ah, so there you are... this is real.." he starts. "Yes, Mr Stoker! We.." the princess starts, "That's `Mr President!` to you!" a human bodyguard started! "Wait, you have to excuse her, them.. they come on the pretense that we're all on equal ! They don't even treat their subjects as such!" Jon tries to equally explain! "That's alright, it's all fine.." the president replied... I don't wasn't to act all high and mighty, especially in this situation... Now, what exactly is happening between our planets? This is what I really want to know..". "Exactly as I said.." the princess explains clearly "Our greatest minds predicted that of both our planet and Earth will die out, just like many other planets with intelligent life.. So we want to unite with yours, and hopefully create a race that will survive both the dangers of nature, and it's own new people; who'll hopefully be understanding and kinder to nature...". " So we're victims of our own success, both our planets; and your race is hoping to make a new, more intelligent generation?" he asks, then stands from his chair "Ma'am, that's a insult to ourselves, and your race! I understand your concern, but let's see what we can do right now, instead of planning to fail?" he asks confidently! "I like this thought too!" Oyster replies happily, she almost adds something when the president talked over her "Do as our outer space friends dictate, and the laws for space immigrants! We can use their added intelligence to save both our planets!" he orders.. "Mr Stoker..." the vice starts in some anger "We DON'T know if that's their real plan... No offense to your ideas, or them.. but there's MANY Americans who don't agree with this, and besides us; there's many other nations who're furious that WE let talking mushrooms everywhere!". The alien bodyguards seem as if they were to lay their fungi fingers on him, when Stoker replied " Yes, I'm aware.. but be prepared to intercept them; our own greatest minds have predicted something similar, at least these aliens have a solution..." he replies somewhat fearfully... Oyster smiles happily, "Then might we take our leave? We were brainstorming on this very problem on the way over." Jon asks, "Of course, I'll send over a team with yours, once you have something ready; you'll receive full from your home country!" the president assures...
After plans were made, Xanthodermus and Oyster was sent away with team of more compliant people:
scientists and groups of a
oem emthusiasts and volunteers who're more so fascinated by the aliens than afraid, went to help them... Jon himself volunteered to rally the aliens in that area; as he was now known among them since he is one of the scientist who received their messages at first and who and who earned the trust and respect of the royals...
A day after planning; Jon now is in Raleigh, following a GPS with a added tracking system to it.. "They have something to track each other?" he thought as he's driven to a neighborhood.. "Yet, I don't think this is natural for their race? We have technology to track each other, but I don't see anything that screams that on any of the aliens...". He then re: " Oh, but Oyster had that rusty USB cable and the men had strange belts wrapped around their bodies; maybe that was their devices, but they all have different shapes? It was surprising or.. a coincidence I could even make out what any of them are carrying at all...". He then gets a text on his phone.. "Oh, Charles? he wonders
CHARLIEBOI: Hey
JON: Wut is it?
CHARLIEBOI: where are u?
JON: Heading 2 Raleigh, y?
CHARLIEBOI: U shuld B here with your gf
JON: What r u...
He picks up the phone " What're you talking about?!" he almost yells, "The princess is looking for you!" Charles laughs "No kidding; she literally wants your opinion on everything we're planning!". " Sh,shut up!" Jon retorts, only to hear his friend laughing, so he hangs up "Th,the nerve of him!! I quit that stuff all together, and what's worse he always finds the... strangest people to pair me up with! First that woman with the bed head in public! Then that man with the stained pants, and now an alien!" he thought aloud... "Sir.." he suddenly hears, then looks at his driver.. "We're here.." the man reveals.. "Oh, oh thank you!" Jon replied, and pays him..
He gets outside, and follows his altered GPS to a abandoned building.. "Really? I thought they were carefully picking homes of people who were as open minded as we are..." he thought, then noticed a family of aliens hurrying out to him!!! He steps back in some fear... "It's Jon.." one exclaimed, "The one the princess favors!" another adds. "Oh, you've heard of me too? (it was decided that I go, but I didn't think the others would be THIS welcoming to the very sight of me!) Come with me, my friends and I are setting up a ....sort of a home away from home for you people!" Jon explains, "Really?" one of the mushrooms ask, "Couldn't we stay among your people? It would be like a zoo if we have a habitat outside of the normal...". Jon wryly explains " A abandoned building is out of the ordinary!. only reprobates of our race stay in those...", he then steps a little closer; noticing their stance is similar to humans and not all makes are as aggressive as the bodyguards were: these belted aliens seemed happy, yet somewhat afraid of him in comparison "We're making a paradise that would suit you until we can get every body used to the idea... It sounds like quarantining: but I promise it's for safety reasons NOT racism!" he assures the aliens! They seem to be surprised, making Jon curios, until he hears..
"There you are!", he quickly turns around to see Oyster behind him!! " Wha?! I thought you were miles away!?" he asks in surprise!". "Mere human distance cannot keep me away from you!" the princess replies with a laugh, "And I'm so happy to see you're also giving hope to us!". She then looks at the other aliens, who nervously smile, or bow... " Don't be so formal!" the princess tells her subjects "All I ask is that you listen to this man, I see that he has our best interest in mind! You don't have to be afraid of Mr Seward!". " Yes,yes... we could tell kind of.." one replies, Jon suddenly hears singing: but couldn't make out the words.... it suddenly forms into the word "Princess!?"!!
Everybody turns to see yet another mushroom, though her fibrous or fuzzy body is surprising... Jon hadn't seen a mushroom like this before of the race, the few `hairs` he seen were acting as body hair, this looked like an anomaly to him! "Ceres don't run up on her that way!" one of the others scolded, Jon now realizes that could be related; the fibrous look and colors are too similar, and the familiarity between them was like an parent talking to their child... "I'm sorry, I only just got excited!" she exclaims! "Teeny one.." Djamor starts to ask as she knelt to the girl "Might I know why you're so excited? It couldn't just be me, right?". " You surprised me, of course! But... I think, I think this union might work!" Ceres replies happily "I can't wait to see what happens!". Oyster looks up at Jon with a curious smile... what could the girl have seen? Where as most aliens were probably living like this family, what or who did Ceres find?
