Arrival

[pacifistleader.livejournal.com]

[A young woman appears not far from the bar wearing a pale pink two piece suit and loose caramel hair framing her face. Understandably, she's rather confused.]

Hello? Can someone tell me exactly what is going on? I really must get back, my next meeting is in an hour and I still need to look over the files for the negotiations.

[Relena frowns a little and approaches the nearest person to her. Admittedly, she was a little distorted by the scenery. Was she in space? That couldn't be possible! She was in a store a moment ago in her own city of all places. ]

Excuse me, can you kindly explain where I am? None of this is making sense. Is that space out there? How can I be in space and not on a shuttle or a colony? Can you please point me in the direction of someone that can tell me what exactly is going on? I really need to get back.

[Ah, now things were beginning to make sense. Relena nodded as she began to piece together everything else in context now.]

I see, well I admit I've never heard of such thing before. But, those countries exist or existed at one point in my reality as well. I'm afraid it has been some time since...I'm guessing what they called World War Two? Or the first landing on the moon.

Back home, It's After Colony 196. One-hundred and Ninty-six years after the first Space Colony was launched and settled. We have also settled on the moon and if I remember correctly, talks about terraforming Mars have begun.

S-so... i-in the end... a-all of th-the countries I know d-died, huh....? [Wow. That's the most depressing thought she's had in ages.] Th-that's... e-er.... m-maple...

[pacifistleader.livejournal.com]

No, I wouldn't say that. Some just merely became other countries or united with others. Honestly, I would have to find a text book to really explain.

[She managed to look a little sheepish. Politics was her strong point and with that came history. However, sometimes it wasn't so simple to explain.]

[Oh great. Mass-polygamy. She bets they all became one with Russia.]

S-say... d-do... p-polar bears still exist in your r-reality...?

[pacifistleader.livejournal.com]

Hm? Yes. Why do you ask?

[notameliajones.livejournal.com]

Th-there's been a l-lot of trouble w-with global warming lately... a-and I've been r-r-really worried b-because my b-best friend is a polar bear...

[pacifistleader.livejournal.com]

Well, then you don't have to worry about my world and global warming. There are plenty of polar bears.

D-dieu merci... I-it's not earth w-without polar bears, eh... e-ehehehe...

[pacifistleader.livejournal.com]

The Earth wouldn't be Earth without it's animals.

[She had to agree with that, not just polar bears.]
