Cel had become a melting pot of alien races and at its surface there appeared to be harmony. But there were deep resentments among the population, jealousies, prejudices, hostility.
To combat the growing animosity a ceremony to celebrate their unity was planned and it was decided to hold it in Felicity, the most diverse community in the Galaxy.
The purpose of the ceremony was to be an official welcome to the nearly hundred beings that had just come to Earth from their frozen planet. The people of that planet were as human as could be without being human. The had chosen to be called Maals, the name of their Planet. The single characteristic that pegged them as aliens was their bronze colored hair. None had hair of any other color.
The ceremony took place in front of the beach resort at the end of Felicity Boulevard. A podium had been erected at the end of the median and Queen Natalia had officially welcomed the new citizens.
No one noticed when all the males disappeared but as soon as all became aware of that an ominous murmur went through the crowd. The crowd may have been over a thousand women.
That there was trouble brewing became obvious when a protest group gathered on the Wendy's Jewelry side of the boulevard. Most of those were wearing blue. The Tiki side had supporters of the newcomers. Most of them were wearing green.
All at home saw the tension build. Many, many took the trains to Felicity and joined one side or the other of the crowd. Families allegiances split over the blue or green factions.
The ceremony was being carried live on the official visualizer channel to all of Earth and the Federation planets. Everyone saw each side grow.
The number of Sprite hovering above with their cameras multiplied.
The first epithet was launched by Sehel. "Go back were you came from you freaks!" she had yelled.
An answering yell came from Ahn as she shouted, "Look who is calling them freaks you freak!"
Insults flew and the Queen tried to get things under control when someone yelled, "Quiet, you construct, you are the biggest freak of all!
That insult came from her best friend, Lady Claudia.
Three cameras over the crowd saw when and by whom the first shot was fired, they had focused on First Friend and captured her as she reached into a large covered shelf behind her, took out her weapon and plastered her mother who was on the protesters side.
The pie was green and First Friend managed to tell her mother she looked good wearing it before she had to avoid returning fire as suddenly each group found large shelves full of cream pies behind them. The frenzy of war began.
The second victim was Claudia, hit by Mizuki as she stuck her tongue out at her. Natalia quickly vacated the podium but was hit several times by both before she made it to the relative protection of the blue side. First Friend had disappeared and was eventually picked up by the cameras as she stalked her prey from behind, Fiona.
Fiona screamed in pain and agony as she felt the pie plastered on her ass. First Friend had lowered her shorts and hit her before Fiona could react.
For the next hour one camera followed Fiona as she sought her revenge. First Friend's small stature allowed her to hide among the beings and she in fact got Ruthie and Helen before vanishing into the crowd.
T-shirts were lifted and tits were smeared. Tits were licked clean before they were smeared again. Atrocity followed atrocity.
The newcomers to the planet were in a state of shock until a pie hit Princess Tan-Tan right in the face. It had been thrown by her mother, Queen Tri.
