  1. >Today is the day you get the upper hand against the aliens.
  2. >It was relatively unknown.
  3. >Something left blank on holiday calendars.
  4. >Today is the day you will get the drop on them.
  5. >You spot your target idly walking along the hall.
  6. >When she was near the elevated walkway that lined the massive room, you flagged her down.
  7. "Good morning, Daisy."
  8. >"Oh, good morning favorite human!" she chirped through the translator.
  9. "Forgetting something?"
  10. >Wide, golden-orange eyes blinked at you.
  11. "A special day?"
  12. >More blinking.
  13. "A human holiday?"
  14. >Her eyes go wide.
  15. >"What day is it?"
  16. "National horse love day."
  17. >Daisy scrunches up her snout as the translator noisily squeaks into her ear.
  18. >"What is that word?"
  19. >She tries to mouth the unfamiliar thing, making a variety of strange noises.
  20. >"Whurhrs-horse?"
  21. "Horse."
  22. >"Huhhooorrrssee?"
  23. "Close enough."
  24. >"But what is hoarse and why do you love it?"
  25. "They're creatures from earth. Humans have been domesticating them for ages."
  26. >Daisy hangs on your every word.
  27. >"And?"
  28. "And they're a lot like you, actually."
  29. >She narrows her eyes accusingly.
  30. >"How?"
  31. "I'll show you."
  32. >You hold up a screen for her to see.
  33. >After a few moments of squinting, she frowns.
  34. >"I seriously hope you don't think this."
  35. "What's wrong with it?"
  36. >"It doesn't look anything like me."
  37. "What?"
  38. >You check the image yourself.
  39. >Yup, that's a horse alright.
  40. "Sure it does."
  41. >The alien equine face scrunches up.
  42. >"I don't see whatever you are seeing."
  43. "Look, closer, they have hooves and legs like yous."
  44. >Daisy looks down at herself as if to confirm she does indeed have hooves.
  45. >"No I don't."
  46. "But the hooves and they have a tail just like yours."
  47. >"My hooves are more angular and my tail is far bushier."
  48. >You look between her and the picture.
  49. >Honestly you can't see the difference.
  50. >How good is her eyesight?
  51. "What about your ears?"
  52. >"Many species have ears like these," Daisy huffs
  53. >"You said I am bigger than anything on earth. Are they as large as I am?"
  54. "No, they're much smaller."
  55. >She beams proudly.
  56. >"Obviously we are nothing alike. See the posture? Totally different."
  57. "Daisy."
  58. >"Additionally, it is incredibly unlikely we would be as similar as you seem to think we are if we are from different planets."
  59. >She lifts a hoof and points it towards her face.
  60. >"They don't have my large, alert eyes and my muzzle is much cuter and better proportioned."
  61. >She sniffs haughtily, leaning closer to the railing roughly sixty feet above the ground.
  62. >"Human, I think you are using optics blinders."
  63. >She turns around, pointing her rear at you from about eye level.
  64. >"Does this look like an Earth species to you?"
  65. >Encompassing most of your vision, you can't exactly not notice her rump as she wiggles it side to side.
  66. >"Wait."
  67. >Suddenly she stops and spins back around, looking at you uncertainly.
  68. >"What?"
  69. >"You're a carnivore species. Don't bite me," she whimpers.
  70. >Your companion backs away, keeping her head tilted down, covering part of her upper throat
  71. "Daisy, wait, hold on"
  72. >She retreats until only her face pokes around the corner of the hall.
  73. >"No, human, it is my mistake, I did not mean to play with your predatory instincts."
  74. >The equine alien vanishes around the side with one last farewell.
  75. >"Have a joyous horse love day, human!"
