By February 15th, Earth was no longer the same.
Humanity had spent decades arguing about whether alien life existed or governments were hiding information, whether space truly held intelligent civilizations or if humanity was alone in the universe. Then, in less than forty-eight hours, all those debates died. Two absurdly attractive aliens casually walked onto the moon, mocked Flat Earthers live in front of billions of people and fixed a planetary extinction event like it was weekend maintenance.
The internet turned into chaos.
For the first three days after the broadcast, every social media platform on Earth suffered outages because of traffic overload. Every single clip of Narisva growing to planetary size in space reached billions of views within hours. The image of her standing beside the moon with stars and nebulas flowing through her hair became the most reposted image in human history.
People thought it was CGI at first. Eery space agency confirmed it was real. The gravitational readings around Earth changed exactly as predicted after Narisva repositioned the moon. After that, denial stopped existing.
The funniest part to humanity was how casual the two of them were about everything. One moment, world leaders were panicking over extinction. The next, Veneri was insulting conspiracy theorists while sitting on the moon. That contrast alone made people obsessed with them.
Memes exploded everywhere. Videos titled "Alien Goddess Humiliates Physics" got hundreds of millions of views. Within a week, Narisva accidentally became the biggest beauty icon in modern human history.
Fashion industries were losing their minds trying to recreate Spheraphasian clothing styles after the United Nations broadcast. Designers spent millions trying to imitate the patterns and metallic fabrics they wore. Half of it failed miserably because Earth materials physically could not replicate the same structure.
The "Starisnova aesthetic" became a global trend anyway with black-and-blue galaxy themed clothing sold out worldwide. Black hole earrings became trendy. Space-themed makeup exploded across the internet.
Meanwhile, Veneri somehow became equally famous for completely different reasons. Men online either idolized him or hated him with passion. Women, however, collectively lost their minds, especially after the Valentine incident leaked. Not much was known about it, only that Narisva managed to celebrate the day with her beloved. The hotel staff that helped Narisva set up the room anonymously posted online about how the "alien goddess prepared flowers for her boyfriend and looked nervous asking if she looked pretty."
Humanity could not emotionally handle that information. The phrase "Even space goddesses get nervous around their crushes" became viral overnight. Fan art flooded the internet so aggressively that anyone active on social media knew about it.
The Pentagon and the Space Exploration Department spent almost every waking moment controlling public panic while simultaneously dealing with governments begging for access to the two aliens. Every country wanted them to visit.
Japan invited them for cultural exchange. France wanted Narisva at a fashion event and to help them. The United Kingdom tried offering diplomatic citizenship. Australia jokingly asked if Narisva could fistfight one of their kangaroos. She accepted immediately but the Australian government retracted the invitation three minutes later.
Religious reactions were even crazier. Some people believed they were angels. Others believed they were gods while others thought they were signs of the apocalypse. Meanwhile, actual scientists were having nervous breakdowns because the laws of physics had effectively been insulted in front of the entire planet.
The black hole demonstration alone became one of the most analyzed pieces of footage in history. Entire universities held emergency conferences trying to understand Spatial Energy. Physics communities online became warzones. Some scientists became obsessed with the fact that Narisva referred to Dark Matter so casually. Others focused on Veneri mentioning "cycles" and "iterations" of Earth. That single statement spawned thousands of theories.
Was Earth reset before? Was humanity trapped in loops? Did alternate versions of humanity exist?
The United Nations itself changed after the broadcast. Countries that previously hated each other began cooperating more aggressively because humanity suddenly realized they were not the center of existence anymore. For the first time in history, Earth had proof that they were a young civilization compared to something far older and more advanced.
Humanity's ego took a massive hit but strangely enough, morale improved worldwide. Suicide rates dropped temporarily. Global conflicts reduced. Space funding skyrocketed overnight. Young people suddenly became obsessed with astronomy again because space no longer felt empty. Children started saying they wanted to become astronauts, physicists, engineers, or "space mages."
Narisva accidentally inspired an entire generation. As for Veneri, people loved him because despite all his overwhelming power, he still acted painfully human. He joked around, he swore casually, he got excited over Earth snacks, he openly admitted he looked Earth culture and he played with yo-yos despite breaking them every few minutes because his physical strength kept snapping the strings. That weird mix of mythical power and casual personality made people less afraid of them.
Of course, not everything was peaceful. Governments secretly panicked. Military organizations worldwide were terrified because humanity now understood something horrifying. If Narisva truly wanted to destroy Earth, she genuinely could. There was no defense against her. That realization fundamentally changed military philosophy forever.
Humanity had officially encountered beings beyond modern warfare and yet, those same beings spent half their time arguing over donuts, flirting with each other and making fun of internet conspiracies. That contradiction fascinated humanity more than anything else.
By the end of February, the world stopped treating Narisva and Veneri as just "the aliens. They were the kind of figures people talked about every single day no matter where they lived. It did not matter whether someone was a politician in Europe, a student in Kenya, an office worker in Japan, or a fisherman in Indonesia. Everyone knew their names.
Vastarael Richinaria and Narisva Starisnova.
Humanity learned how to pronounce those names frighteningly fast.
The funniest thing was how quickly people adapted to the absurdity of the situation. Humans were terrifyingly good at normalizing impossible things. One week earlier, alien life was the greatest discovery in history. Two weeks later, people were making edits of Veneri dancing badly to Earth music. And somehow, that made him even more famous.
A video recorded secretly by hotel staff showed Veneri trying to learn modern dances while Narisva sat on the couch eating donuts and ruthlessly insulting him.
"You move like an injured Landscape Turtle."
"I am trying my best."
"Your best is horrible."
"That was unnecessarily cruel."
The clip reached three billion views in four days.
Meanwhile, Narisva accidentally became the single most discussed woman on Earth. People could not process her appearance. One trending post literally read:
"We are done. Humanity lost the genetics competition."
Another post replied:
"Not only is she prettier than everyone alive, she can also destroy planets. Leave some stats for the rest of us."
Even world leaders were not immune.
Several diplomats embarrassingly forgot their prepared speeches whenever Narisva looked directly at them during conferences. One ambassador accidentally called her "your majesty" despite her not having any royal authority on Earth whatsoever.
She found it hilarious.
What nobody expected was how much Earth women ended up liking her too. At first, governments thought people would fear them. Instead, social media became flooded with women calling Narisva "wife," "mother," "queen," and "the strongest woman in existence."
Veneri himself was having the time of his life. He rediscovered Earth entertainment like an addict. Movies, games, music, memes, internet drama, he consumed all of it shamelessly. Narisva once found him awake at three in the morning watching conspiracy documentaries while eating expensive hotel ice cream straight from the container.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm studying Earth culture."
"You are watching a man explain how birds are government spies."
"He makes compelling points."
"He absolutely does not."
One thing humans noticed quickly was that the two aliens genuinely loved each other in a painfully obvious way, and not in the dramatic fantasy way people expected from cosmic beings. They acted like an affectionate couple that forgot they were capable of erasing continents.
Narisva constantly touched him somehow. She kept holding his arm, leaning against him, playing with his hair and watching him with this soft look she never used around anyone else. Meanwhile, Veneri looked at her like he thought she hung the stars in the sky, which was funnier now because she technically could.
People became emotionally invested in them. Entire channels were dedicated to analyzing their interactions.Body language experts started making hour-long breakdowns explaining why "the alien monarch is completely whipped." One video titled "Every Time Veneri Looks At Narisva Like She Created The Universe" reached eighty million views. Ironically, it was scientifically accurate now.
The moon incident permanently changed human civilization. Physics textbooks were already being rewritten. Young scientists became obsessed with Spatial Energy. Older scientists suffered existential crises daily. One famous physicist publicly stated:
"We spent centuries trying to understand gravity only for a beautiful alien woman to casually explain black holes to us like she was teaching kindergarten school children."
Another scientist responded:
"She called our understanding of astrophysics 'cute.' I have not emotionally recovered."
Every other space organization on Earth immediately entered cooperation agreements after the moon event. For once, global space exploration became humanity's united goal. Even some religions changed. Some adapted the existence of aliens into their beliefs. Others rejected them entirely. A few cults unfortunately formed around Narisva almost immediately. She found out accidentally while scrolling online.
"What does 'Church of the Celestial Mother' mean?"
Veneri nearly fell off the couch laughing.
"It means humanity is doing humanity things again."
"They are worshipping me because I fixed the moon?"
"One guy online said your voice cured his depression."
"What?"
"Another person said you stepping on the moon awakened him spiritually."
"That sounds concerning."
The funniest cultural shift happened with conspiracy theorists. Flat Earthers somehow survived the humiliation. Instead of admitting defeat, they evolved. Now they claimed Earth itself was an illusion created by alien governments. Veneri spent twenty minutes laughing so hard he cried.
"I told you they would make more conspiracies."
"I literally stood next to Earth. They saw it."
"They do not care."
On a more serious note, governments quietly realized another terrifying truth over the following weeks. Humanity was technologically primitive. The moment Narisva explained that Spheraphase did not even use wires anymore because holographic systems were considered basic technology, Earth scientists collectively felt insulted. Even worse was when Veneri casually revealed that their world used dimensional storage, teleportation systems and healers capable of regenerating shattered bones instantly.
Humanity suddenly understood how small they were. But instead of giving up, something unexpected happened. They became ambitious. Earth entered a technological renaissance almost overnight.
Funding for science tripled worldwide. Private companies started investing into space industries aggressively. Students began pursuing engineering and astrophysics in record numbers.
Humanity's perspective expanded. For the first time in modern history, Earth stopped looking only at itself.
And throughout all of this chaos, the two beings responsible for changing human civilization were currently arguing in a luxury hotel because Narisva discovered cat videos online and refused to believe normal animals could be that stupid.
"That one just fell off a table. It clearly lacks survival instincts."
"Nari, it's just a cat."
"How did evolution allow this creature to survive?"
