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