Sburb had a weird way of doing things, after the game finished the universe just kind of reset itself, and Alternia and Earth were kind of like brother and sister planets, if anything they were a lot closer to each other than before, both literally and metaphorically.
Other than the fact that Feferi was now ruler of Alternia, both planets were pretty much in the same state they had been before the game.
For the first few months after the whole reset of the universe, contact between the trolls and the kids was usually small and insignificant. The conversations were short and rather impersonal; every once in a while there was a good chat, however those didn't happen very often.
So to receive a letter that says "WE'RE COMING TO EARTH SO YOU BETTER BE FUCKING READY." was a little more than surprising.
John started to complain about where they were going to stay, and why were they even coming to Earth in the first place. Rose managed to get in contact with Kanaya, and Kanaya explained that Feferi was trying to form friendly bonds with other planets and that the young empress decided to start with Earth, although Kanaya suspected that Feferi was really trying to take a break from the whole "ruling the planet thing", and spend time with friends.
Dave's reaction to the whole situation was the same as his reaction to everything, which was "to play it cool", however his small inquiry on whether Terezi was amongst the trolls coming to Earth revealed that he was at least "slightly" interested in the trolls visit.
The first question that popped up was where the trolls were going to stay when they came to Earth, it wasn't like they could go up to any random hotel here and say "Hey we're aliens visiting Earth, can we have a few rooms please". Feferi mentioned that they would come discreetly into Earth's atmosphere as to not cause panic, but it would help if they had a destination, preferably one that was secluded. The first place that came to everyone's minds was Jade's small island.
Jade had remained almost completely quiet on the whole matter until the issue of where the trolls were going to stay came up, she did show mild concern, but when the main proposition of residence happened to be her island, she completely exploded.
Selfishly, she tried to pursue the idea that her island wouldn't be the best place for them, and she even came up with plenty of other suitable substitutes, but it always came back to the arguments of "What would happen if other people found them?" , and "It would be best if someone was there to 'supervise' the trolls activities on Earth.", but she kept refusing until it was more than obvious that she would have to surrender the argument.
Jade's reaction was unexpected, she was generally a very amiable person, but to say the events of the game hadn't changed everyone involved would be a lie. She hadn't grown hard or bitter, but the game had left a strong aftertaste in her mouth and she liked dealing with it the way she had dealt with most of her life, alone. However to leave the trolls alone on Earth to figure things out for themselves while they had another, better, option would have been cruel. So she raised up her white flag and surrendered.
The trolls arrived on Earth within two weeks of sending the letter proclaiming their arrival. The magnificent machine they came in was built between the efforts of some of the trolls on board, and it was beautiful. The ship wasn't very large, but it made up for that in its design.
The ship had an oblong shaped middle area that was about a story high, and there were two large wings on its top, one on each length ways side of the machine. Instead of large clunky rocket thrusters at its tail, it had tinier ones that lined it's end and part of its bottom. The outside was painted a very light cream yellow, almost white, and reflected the light of the sun just so, it almost looked like a falling star. On its nose a trident was painted a light fuchsia. Altogether it looked like a large bird descending from the sky.
The ship landed with grace with a quiet hum coming from its small thrusters which got quieter and quieter as it settled into the foreign dirt. The Sun had not yet fully risen over the horizon, so a golden ring had settled over the edge of Earth like a halo. A hiss of pressurized air escaped from the ship as a draw-bridge door opened up from the head of the nose, a silhouetted figure was posed casually in its doorway. Jade had been completely stunned into silence since the time the ship had initially made its descent, and even if she hadn't been, she didn't know how she was supposed to respond to: "YOU MISS ME YOU GIANT FUCKING SPACE FURRY"
And this is how the story begins.
A/N: I'm on a Jade hype lately, so yeah I'll be writing this story as well, I'll update soon, hopefully.
I had written this story before the Beta trolls were fully introduced, and I'm not including the Alpha kids in this one, so no beta trolls and no alpha kids in this story.
