The large, muscular tiger doppelganger and the tall Jake doppelganger were talking as they walked through the forest near the base of the mountain they'd spent the night on. The two black demons were headed towards the same small town that Jake had seen the lights of the night before.

Jake was hungry and looking forward to the type of hearty breakfast one can usually find at the local diner in a small town. He was desperately craving coffee, and his head was full of eggs and pancakes and sausages and bacon and toast, and his stomach rumbled constantly.

They'd crossed a small mountain stream a while back so he'd taken a drink from that, but he was now more than ready for a solid meal.

He'd relieved himself in the bushes by urinating right through his second skin. His urine, like his cum, was now being passed through by the micro-pumping nano-machines and leaving the suit completely clean inside. The suits were a sort of work in progress that Hunter was regularly tweaking when he got ideas to improve them.

The second skin now even used its 'millions of centipede legs' effect to remove surface filth by moving it down along the outside of the smart fabric until it finally reached his feet and was left behind on the ground. Any mess from himself while they play, any sweat that passed cleanly through the fabric but collected on the surface, and any sort of dirt he encountered in the environment were steadily being removed from the surface, leaving it completely sanitized. His suit would never need cleaning, for most things at least.

He'd never asked Hunter what would happen if he tried to do a number two while wearing his second skin, but he imagined it would likely be a disaster, so he wasn't about to try. It had been a while since Jake actually had access to a proper toilet, and he needed to defecate, but he didn't want to bother to do it outdoors if they were about to go into a restaurant where he would be more comfortable and they would have toilet paper. He could ask hunter to disengage his suit temporarily while he headed into the bathroom to take care of business once they reached the diner. It needed to be disengaged so that it would separate into its various pieces and he could pull the bottom part down.

Another modification Hunter had made for him on the fly last night was to have it keep Jake's skin at a comfortable temperature, no matter the external conditions. The night at the higher elevation on the exposed side of the mountain this late in the summer in Colorado had gotten quite cold, and Jake had considered putting his clothes back on over his suit, though even that wouldn't have done much for him. When Hunter noticed Jake's shivering hours later when they had woken up in the middle of the night he made the adjustment, and suddenly Jake was cozy and warm, even though he was still completely naked. The wonderful flexibility of the cat's technology never ceased to amaze him.

Jake was so completely comfortable that after they'd made love to each other one more time before going back to sleep again, he'd simply stayed naked while he spooned up against his wonderful, muscular, furry lover. He was so comfortable, in fact, that when they'd finally got up in the morning and decided to head down to the town, Jake had completely forgotten to even pick up his clothing. He hadn't thought of it until much later when they were almost at the bottom of the mountain, but he was too hungry to go back for it and he really wanted to use the toilet too. He could get some clothes in town, or maybe go back for his after he ate and relieved himself.

The reason they'd gotten up for a short period in the middle of the night was that five hours after they'd drifted off to sleep in each other's arms after the first time they'd made love, Hunter's computer had woken him as he'd requested it to do. He needed to check on the status of the disarming process. The world's countries had been given a full month to complete the task, but only six hours to show they had begun the process in earnest. Much to their relief it appeared that nearly all of the countries had immediately begun to comply and they were doing it with alacrity. All but one of them in fact.

The imaging swarms had been sending constant feeds back to the tiger's computers, and they reported that all conflict had come to an end worldwide, except for one small area. There were still clashes in Afghanistan instigated by the Taliban and neither the Afghan government nor the Taliban were showing any signs of moving their weapons to a central location. Hunter decided to seize on the opportunity to show the entire world that he meant business.

One of his imaging swarms descended once again into the atmosphere over Afghanistan and with the volume cranked to the point where the walls of their buildings shook and the people had to cover their ears, he gave them three hours to move all people off of one of the highest peaks of the mountains in the Hindu Kush range that was clearly visible from the capital city of Kabul, because he intended to destroy it as punishment for their ongoing conflict. He warned them of his deadly serious intent and told them that if they continued to raise arms against each other, Kabul itself would be next, and he would then begin to lay waste to their entire country until they finally stopped their petty squabbles.

The clashing had stopped immediately, but Hunter was in no mood to trust them to maintain that status, so he went ahead with his promised show of force. It was as much for the rest of the world as it was for the people of Afghanistan. When the three hours passed, one of the imaging drones descended to the peak of the mountain and detonated. The sphere of destruction it created made the entire mountain and some sections of the peaks next to it simply vanish, just as Cheyenne Mountain had done. The deep hole it left behind would serve as a reminder to the entire world that the cat would not hesitate to follow through on his warnings.

He'd used another of the drones to make a detailed video of the removal of the mountain after which his computers, which were still in control of all of the infrastructures around the world, broadcast the video on every type of electronic media available for everyone to see, along with an explanation by him of what had happened, so that they would fully understand how it would be from this point forward. So long as he was in charge, everyone would behave, or pay the price.

Everything was proceeding smoothly after the demonstration in Afghanistan, so the two, still exhausted from the events of the previous day, curled up together to get some more sleep.

When they woke the next morning they made leisurely, sweet and slow love to each other again, then finally decided it was time to get up and get on the move.

They were still a little ways from the town, but it was such a beautiful morning that, despite Jake's hunger, they were in no real rush and preferred to take their time and enjoy the scenery.

They chatted as they walked along at a leisurely pace. The conversation turned to Hunter's people and what would happen when they arrived.

"Have you given any thought yet to where you'll settle your people?" Jake asked, "We need to find a place for them to stay that would suit them, and make sure they're all together and can be self sufficient. You said once that your people prefer a warm climate. Is that right?"

"Yes. My people are most comfortable in near jungle-like settings. They can live in many other climates if necessary, but they actually prefer to eschew clothing entirely for the most part. Some wear a single small article of clothing, as you've seen me do, but most, if in the right climate, will not even wear those. We feel no need to protect our modesty. Our bodies are a natural thing, and we feel no need to hide them from anyone else.

"It would be best to settle my people into an area with a tropical climate. I think it would also be best if they were not directly mixed in with your people if we could avoid it, to reduce the chances of any unnecessary friction."

"Would your computer be able to research it for you?" Jake asked, "Could it tell you what the best location would be based on information on the Internet? Do you even still have access to the Internet, now that you've had to disconnect the translator box from my router at home?"

"Yes, I still do, but I am now limited to the same three minute delay for radio transmissions that you and I suffered before. My computer in essence has installed an extension of itself into your Internet. It acts like a botnet that uses all of the computing power available on your world to maintain a weakened version of its artificial intelligence. My computer on Mars can now query its counterpart there on Earth, which will do any research necessary and then send the information back here. The back and forth transmissions must now be done by radio, though. There are many radio dishes aimed at Mars now, so it simply quietly usurps them to send the information as needed."

"Well, it's good that you still have something. We should try to figure out a way to reconnect the translator box, though, so you have instantaneous access back."

"Yes, we should, but we will get by in the meantime with the current setup. I already had my computer do the research to see which areas of your planet would best suit my people. It did not take long. A general area your Internet refers to as Southeast Asia would appear to most closely resemble the climate in the part of my home world that my people inhabited. It appears that that area is also where your animal called the 'tiger' evolved, so it would make sense that my people would find that climate most suitable.

"The computer has located some other areas that may also be taken into consideration that may actually work better, given the amount of available space there as well as the near absence of human population. One area is called Colombia, where there are vast tracts of land still mostly uninhabited that appear to be suitable, as well as another area referred to as the Amazon Basin. That last one is more jungle than we would ordinarily be comfortable in, but it could be made to work if necessary.

"I liked your suggestion last night that we go and check them out for ourselves. I can more comfortably make a determination of which place would be best if I experience them first hand. I could easily and quickly get there myself using my other doppelganger that is now in orbit, but there is no great rush, and I would very much prefer having the love of my life come along with me and we could treat it like a vacation for us. Which would you like to go and visit first?"

Jake said, "Colombia is the closest. We should start there. How will we get there?"

Hunter replied, "I have been giving that some thought as well and I have an idea. Let's discuss it after you eat. I see the town just up ahead there. We've arrived."

They'd been so deep in their conversation while they walked that Jake hadn't been paying attention to how much ground they'd covered. He could see the town just down the road. Much to his delight, the first building they would encounter appeared to be a roadside diner. He was famished.

He looked over at the big tiger and smiled and said, "Let's go. I'm starving."

The cat said, "I need to eat as well, my love. I will have to exit the sphere to do it, so I will have to abandon you for a short time."

Jake was disappointed. He was so used to seeing the tiger right there with him that it was easy to forget he really was still out there on Mars. They couldn't simply walk into a diner together and order breakfast and eat together. The doppelganger would have no use for food, obviously.

"Bummer. I want to sit and eat breakfast with you like we normally did at home."

"We can do it, my love, if you want to. I would enjoy that myself as I never tire of your company and begin to miss you the moment we are separated. Give me a few minutes and I can run and get some food for myself and bring it back and rejoin you. Just carry me into the restaurant. By the time your food has been presented to you I will have returned and we can eat together."

"Terrific, go ahead."

"Catch!" the tiger said, and this time he suddenly ran towards Jake and jumped into the air and brought his knees up as if he were going to ball himself up and jump right into Jake's arms, but just before the massive tiger would plow into the man and bowl him over, he suddenly collapsed into a heap of black cloth that fluttered right into Jake's arms.

Jake laughed. He loved the tiger's natural playfulness.

It was a bit more disturbing to see the transition this time, since the texturing trick had been showing him the gorgeous furry tiger instead of just the black doppelganger. Seeing his beautiful muscular tiger suddenly leap into the air and deflate into a pile of slack cloth before his eyes was odd, to say the least.

He bundled up the cloth and walked the rest of the way into town.

Even as he approached the diner he saw a few people who were coming out of it suddenly look his way and gasp. He simply ignored them and walked into the restaurant. He knew that to them he too was just a black doppelganger in the shape of a very tall man that must look pretty startling to them. They would have to get used to it, though. Obviously they knew who he was because of Hunter's speech to the world last night. The two of them would be sort of like celebrities, but he hoped it wouldn't be too hard to move among everyone during those times that they needed to, like now.

He sauntered into the diner and saw an available booth at the front window. He heard more gasps and someone shouted, "Hey! There's kids in here!"

He wondered why it was such a big deal as he saw a lady hustling her children quickly past him and out the door. He was no threat to anyone. Certainly not to children.

He continued towards the table and noticed several young men at another table who were snickering as they watched him. A lady at another table was beet red and looking at him somewhat angrily. Another man had a smile on his face and he looked down at Jake's crotch, then back up, and he winked suggestively.

Jake suddenly realized what the big deal was. He felt embarrassed as he realized he'd gotten so used to walking around in the doppelganger suit already, and was so comfortable in it now that it kept his temperature perfect and prevented any breeze from chilling him, that he'd forgotten he was in effect naked. They were seeing his black form completely in the buff. His junk was hanging out there for all to see.

He had nothing to cover up with but the slack cloth that made up hunter's suit, so he quickly snapped it out and held it up in front of him to hide his nakedness.

More laughter broke out from the table with the young men. He looked down and realized he was holding the deflated hunter with the front facing the room, so they could see the very large extension that normally held his very large penis hanging down in front. To them it probably looked like a black doppelganger of Jake was showing off his inflatable tiger sex doll.

Suddenly he felt the cloth begin to vibrate in his hands and he realized Hunter must be reactivating his suit at the other end. He held it out and away from him by the shoulders as it completely inflated and solidified into the shape of the tiger standing before him. It must have looked to everyone else like a pretty amazing magic trick as everyone gasped at the sight. Where previously there had been a limp fabric doll being held up, they were now seeing a fully animated, jet black, full-sized, very muscular, completely naked, and extremely well equipped tiger standing before them.

The man who'd winked at Jake after seeing his junk hanging out was now staring at Hunter's crotch with his mouth hanging open and a very hungry look in his eyes.

The tiger seemed to tense with a start as he saw all of these strangers in front of him, and he turned and said, "Ah, there you are, my love. It took less time than I thought. I am famished and ready to dig in. Shall we sit?"

Jake said, "Uh, there's one small detail I neglected to consider. We're both completely nude. It's not quite what these people expected to see this morning while they eat their breakfasts, I'm sure. I wonder if we should duck out and go steal some clothes for our doppelgangers or something. Humans are really shy about this sort of thing."

"Yes, I realized that after I began to consume so much of your culture through your media. I don't understand it. Our bodies are natural. I'm fairly certain every male in this room has a penis and testicles, so they've certainly seen them before. Those parts of their bodies are as natural as their eyes and noses and ears. They don't hide those from everyone else, so why hide the rest? It's puzzling."

Jake said, "There are women here, too."

"Well, if they haven't seen that sort of thing yet, more's the pity for them. It's about time they did see it, really. Why would they not be interested to do so? Do they not enjoy the sight of males?"

"There were kids here too, when I walked in. Nobody likes them to be exposed to that. It's just not done in our society."

"Ah, well perhaps that's why things are so broken. If you're trained from birth to see something so natural as a bad thing, I could easily see how you would grow up to become completely unnaturally uptight about it. Your race should really try to live closer to nature and not fight it. The only reason I ever even wear the small shorts is because of the excessive size of my penis. I find it annoying and it can get in the way when I am working. When I relax I normally wear nothing, just as most of my people do.

"I do like to wear the boots with the socks too, I suppose, but I'm fairly unique among my people in that way. I absolutely love the way my feet smell after being encased in those boots for a great deal of time while I work, and I find the socks collect the wonderful smell for me to enjoy later on while I masturbate. Before I met you and we began to enjoy such wonderful and varied sex together, masturbation was my only outlet, and I needed to enhance that experience in any way I could. I enjoyed imagining the socks I was sniffing belonged to another male. It helped me reach my release."

Jake groaned and looked around the room at the shocked faces of the people who'd heard that whole speech. Was it really necessary for Hunter to release all of that information in front of strangers? He noticed the man who'd been interested in their crotches was now grinning widely as he looked down at Hunter's big feet.

"In any case, I am not in the mood to indulge their overly prudish sensibilities just now. I am quite proud of the way I look and I absolutely love the way you look. I have no desire to hide the best parts of us from their eyes. Remember, to them we are almost like gods walking among them when we are the doppelgangers. I actually would like to maintain that image to make these forms more effective. To dress them up like mannequins just to make the others more comfortable would lower their impact by making them look ridiculous. I am perfectly fine with people being uncomfortable around our doppelgangers. It helps with the mystique. Let us simply ignore them and allow them to get used to the sight. As far as I am concerned, they should consider themselves quite lucky to enjoy the sight of you in your full glory. I most certainly do."

Jake chuckled and said, "I think so long as you're next to me, it's you who'll be getting all the looks, so I suppose its alright. I'll look pretty foolish when I start to eat, though. I'll have to take my mask off to do it, then they'll see a black 'god' with the head of a normal dude who's stuffing his face."

The cat said, "No, Jake, you don't need to remove the mask. Remember when I made the modification to the programming of the nano-machines that allows your wonderful essence to pass straight from the end of your penis, right through the second skin and into my doppelganger's mouth?"

Jake glanced around nervously at all of the other people in the diner who were still staring at them and said, "Yes, but I don't think it was really necessary to announce it to all of these people."

The big cat raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why not? Have they never engaged in that activity before? They should definitely try it. It's wonderful to feel the gush of your semen entering my mouth, and even more wonderful to swallow your large load down. I wish only that I could taste it. It comes directly from your wonderfully big balls and I love the fact that you made it all for me. I doubt I could ever get enough of it."

Jake heard the man who'd been ogling them earlier moan and he looked over and saw adjusting his crotch as he began to tent up there.

"In any case," the big cat continued, "the second skin coats every part of the inside of your mouth and when it reaches the back most part, it opens up to expose your throat. You wouldn't have noticed because you wouldn't feel it. Food can pass right through into your throat when you swallow. The fabric also allows your salivary glands to continue to function since the nano-pumps will allow the fabric to move your saliva right through, just as it does your sweat and semen and any other secretions. You can eat just fine with the mask on, trust me. You will even taste everything just as if you weren't wearing the suit. Normally, when you and I are intimate, like when you pleasure me so well by inserting your tongue into my anus, you taste nothing because it is simply a fabric suit your are tonguing. When you eat, though, your saliva will mix with the food you are chewing on and carry the flavors of it to your taste buds through the fabric before it gets washed down your throat when you swallow."

Jake sighed at the tiger's unnecessary sharing as he wondered what people were thinking of him tonguing the big cat's anus, but they didn't look any more shocked than they did before, so perhaps they were numb to anything the tiger was saying by now.

"That's pretty cool," Jake said, "I never would have though to even try to eat while I was wearing the mask. It seems I can do nearly anything with it on. You already told me about how it self washes, and of course I already know I can even pee through it, so just about everything is covered. I can live in this thing all the time now and only take it off when I need to sit down on the toilet, which I really need to do right now."

"You really don't even need to remove the suit to relieve yourself anymore if you don't wish to. It would be pointless."

"Are you serious?" Jake asked, "Even if I go number two?"

"I wasn't aware you had a numbering system for those functions, but if the number two refers to defecation, then yes. Since the extension on the inside back part of your suit is stuffed all the way up your rectum, it will remain open at the end just as it does in your throat. That will allow your feces to pass through and out. You can shit through the suit just fine. Simply wipe as you normally would to help clean yourself up more quickly, though even that really isn't necessary."

Jake rolled his eyes and glanced around the room quickly again. The people didn't really seem as disturbed by what the tiger was saying as they should be. They were probably just too busy staring at them and trying to figure out what the hell was going on, and wondering why two naked black demons were standing around in their restaurant having a conversation about shitting through a suit all of a sudden.

Hunter said, "You can really just think of the whole suit as a second skin that's part of your own skin and you can treat it just as you would your naked body. Just allow yourself to forget that it's even there. Come, let us sit and eat. If these people have an issue with it, they are welcome to leave."

He'd said the last part loudly enough to make sure everyone in the room heard. Nobody else made a move to leave, though. This was likely the most interesting thing that had ever happened in this small town. If Jake didn't miss his guess, they would have to eat quickly and get out, because most likely word would begin to spread that the black doppelgangers of the co-rulers of the world had showed up at the local diner for breakfast. It was likely going to be drawing a lot of other gawkers in no time.

Jake said, "I'll be back in a minute. I really need to use the bathroom."

He rushed to the back of the restaurant and into the men's room to relieve himself. Hunter was right. It worked just as normal even with his suit activated. He finished the paper work and then washed his hands and went back to join his tiger.

Hunter was still just standing there, waiting. He hadn't settled into a booth yet.

Jake looked over at the waitress, who was still just standing behind the counter and staring at the massive black tiger who'd risen up out of nowhere. He noticed her eyes kept getting drawn downward to Hunter's impressive package and then they slowly worked their way back up his muscular body to his incredible tiger-like face. She looked a little flushed.

Jake waved at her to try to snap her out of it and said, "Hi there. I can't really wait for you to come to our table. I'm really hungry. I'll have a double stack of pancakes and some breakfast sausages. Maybe some toast with jam too. Oh, and I need lots of coffee, so just keep it coming. We're going to be getting the government to reimburse you for everything, if that's OK."

The waitress looked over towards him and just stared at him for a moment. She didn't seem sure if Jake was serious. Why would a black demon need to eat pancakes?

The cook, who it turned out must also be the owner of the diner, had been watching from the kitchen through the order window and he quickly came around and out into the restaurant and was wiping his hands against his apron as he said, "I'll have no such a thing! We don't need any compensation. Your meals are on the house. It's really you, isn't it? You're the black doppelgangers the voice from the sky told everyone to watch out for! I can't believe you're right here in my diner!"

The large man looked over at the tiger and said, "You were the one talking last night, weren't you? I gotta tell ya, what you did for us, for the whole world, it's incredible! My little brother was in the middle of a tour in Afghanistan and my parents and me worried about him every damn day until it made us sick. The shit that's been going down out there since the big resurgence in 2017 is horrible. So many lives lost. But that's all over now. We already got word from him this morning that he's coming home right now, and it's because of you! What you did out there ended all the conflict and there's just no point for him to be out there anymore. God only knows how many American families are gonna be thrilled to hear their kids are done fighting and are all coming home safe and sound! All because of you! I can't ever thank you enough for what you did for us! All the shit I got, I don't care what, if you need any of it, it's yours. You're welcome here any time you want."

The man impulsively moved forward and put his arms out for a hug and Hunter hugged him right back. The man then hugged Jake and then stepped back and wiped tears from his eyes as he said, "You two can eat absolutely anything you want. Let me go back and get it ready for you. Name's Ed by the way. Please, sit down wherever you like and Nancy'll get your coffee out right away."

Hunter smiled at the man and said, "Thank you very much, Ed. You are indeed a fine fellow. This is Jake and my name is Hunter. I am please beyond measure that I was able to help your family come back together. War is such an ugly thing. I don't know why your people can't seem to let it go. I hope, now that they've been forced to give it up at least for the foreseeable future, they might learn to find other ways to resolve their issues."

Ed grinned and nodded his agreement and said, "Jake's said what he'd like to eat. What can I get for you, Hunter?"

"I will need nothing as I have brought my own, though you can't see it. My beloved mate will be the only one eating your food, but I assure you we both greatly appreciate your kind and generous hospitality, and it will be remembered."

The man grinned and nodded, then made his way back into the kitchen. Jake saw him looking at them through the order window and he was still grinning like a fool and he had his cellphone up to his face. He was likely telling someone somewhere named something like "Jim Bob" something along the lines of "You ain't gonna believe who just walked into my place!"

It wouldn't be long before the crowds would begin to gather outside.

He looked around the room and saw that everyone in it was now smiling broadly at them after hearing the exchange. It was a small town so no doubt everyone knew everyone and they probably liked to look after each other. Obviously, if they liked Ed, they would be happy with anyone who might have made him happy, so whatever reservations they had about the two odd creatures were already forgotten.

Jake and Hunter sat down at a window booth across from each other.

The cat looked around and said, "It is so odd the way your people live. I don't believe my people ever went through this phase of having a place to gather and have food brought to us. We have always killed our own. Some like to keep animals penned and ready at their homes, but most of us prefer to hunt and kill our food in the wild right when we're ready to eat."

"Wow, how do you find the time to do that? It occurs to me that in all the time we've spent together and all the things we've talked about, we never really talked about what life was like on your home world. You must have had jobs of some sort, no?"

"No, not of any sort. If all of your necessities came at no cost, you wouldn't need a job either. In our case, our food runs around wild and we simply catch it and eat it, and we don't even wear clothes, so we have no need of jobs. We use most of our free time enjoying each other, or expanding our knowledge, or testing our creativity. It kept our world simple and clean. Imagine how your world might change if none of you had any jobs to go to. Think of how much infrastructure has been built just to support your jobs. Office buildings, factories, roads, transit systems, drive through restaurants, and so on. It's a mess."

Jake noticed the other people in the restaurant begin to shift to closer tables and seats at the counter so they could listen in. It was a little rude, but he couldn't really blame them. They probably found it as fascinating as he did to hear how an alien species lived.

Hunter continued, "Our fabricators produce anything we might need, like furniture, or walls for our structures, or entertainment devices, and so on. Nobody owns those machines and nobody takes the time to service them since other machines do that. Nobody provides the resources to those machines for the things they fabricate since that too is done by other machines, so nobody is owed compensation for anything they produce. Everything in our world is free for the taking. There is no system of currency and no one needs a bank account. No one owns anything, really. It is one of the main reasons that we have no need to bicker with each other. Everyone is equal and everyone has everything they need. None of us ever really have the urge to have more than we need. The lack of ownership even extends to land. Nobody owns even the land they live on, the concept would be a bit ridiculous, since no one else will ever come and try to take it from you. Why would they? There is more than enough to go around."

"Maybe that's part of it. I remember when you told me the story of the death of your world, you said that something like a billion of your people died."

"Yes, that's correct, my love. Just over a billion."

"Yet your planet was somewhere between the size of Mars and Earth, right?"

"Yes."

"So, I would think if the population of your whole planet at its technological peak was only a bit more than a billion people, you had lots of room to move around. Earth is getting close to eight billion already I think, so we're a hell of a lot more crowded than you ever were."

"That is true. In fact, though, a billion was actually much higher than our normal population. We inflated it artificially over the past several centuries. We need as many bodies as possible to do the unbelievable amount of work that was needed to save our race and finish the work in time. We needed to conserve most of our fabrication resources and capabilities for the actual ships that would be sent out, so a great deal of the work involved in planting and growing the greenhouses and gathering the food animals and constructing the larger fabricators that would construct the drones that would build our ships was all done through manual labor.

"The normal population for our entire planet would only be a couple of hundred million. It might seem strange to you to see the level of our technology, and yet find that most of us live in very small structures that primarily serve the purpose of protecting us from the weather, and not much else. We spend most of our time outdoors. Our lives are incredibly simple, because they do not need to be complicated. It's hard to explain, but our preference is to live that sort of simple life, and as such there is no pressure to grow or expand or increase in any way, so our population stays in fairly good balance.

"We produce young at nearly the same rate as the oldest ones die off. We have no countries, so no need to increase a taxpayer base that does not exist. We have no religions, we gave up the notion of imaginary higher powers a very long time ago, so there are no religions competing for our souls and encouraging reproduction in order to swell their numbers. We have no conflict, and thus no need of armies so no pressure to produce offspring to produce larger armies or to replace any that are lost in great numbers. We catch and eat our own food, so no need to produce more offspring to work the land or go out and earn a living to increase the household income. There is no income, there are no taxes, nothing costs anything, no one owes anyone anything, there is no pressure of any sort whatsoever to increase our population, so everything stays in balance."

"Wow! It sounds like a utopia."

"Yes, I suppose by human standards it might be."

The waitress came around and filled Jake's coffee cup, then brought him his food. He began to dig in immediately. It was delicious.

He chuckled as he watched Hunter's doppelganger make the motions of bringing food up to his mouth, tearing off chunks of it with his teeth, then chewing and swallowing. The other people in the diner couldn't help but stare. Jake suddenly realized they probably didn't understand that what they were watching was an empty suit, not an actual black colored tiger. They likely didn't realize there was a big cat munching on hunks of raw meat out there on Mars, and they were just sort of seeing an echo of that.

To them it must look like an incredibly convincing mime act. The black tiger demon had absolutely nothing in its hands, yet it convincingly consumed it before their eyes. That's what it looked like to Jake, too, except that for him he was watching a beautiful furry tiger. By default the cat's real texture was overlaid by the computer whenever they were both in their activated suits, so Jake was sitting across from a gorgeous naked cat.

"So, you seem to really enjoy music, and our movies too. Did your people have a lot of that sort of thing?"

The cat nodded and said, "A great deal, yes, but only in our past. Long before my time, really. Unfortunately, my people had no time for such things over the last few centuries. We were throwing everything we had at saving our race, so our music and stories fell by the wayside. In my time every child was expected to become well versed in any one of the disciplines required to help get our people to safety. We were all trained in the general sciences and then branched off into something more specific like medicine, horticulture, chemistry, engineering, construction, geology, electronics, robotics and so on. We had no time for the arts. I look forward to seeing what happens with my people when at last we find ourselves settled on Mars. It will be the first time in living memory that we can finally stop and relax and live again in any way we see fit and will no longer be focused on just one all important goal."

Jake heard the ringing of the bell that was over the door and saw a few more people come into the restaurant. He realized he'd been hearing it off and on for a while and the diner was quickly filling up to capacity as more people came to gawk. Nobody was saying a word and they were just listening with interest to the conversation.

He turned back to look at Hunter and asked, "How long do your people live, normally?"

"We have made great strides in that field over the past century or so. In your years, I would be nearly eighty years old. I am no where near middle aged yet. I should live to at least three hundred."

"Holy God! That's fantastic! I wonder if humans would ever get that far along."

"Your people may not be able to afford it, Jake. Imagine if your already over inflated population stopped dying for the next two hundred years and simply continued to age, while also continuing to expand. Your population is already by my estimation about ten times what your planet can properly support through natural means, and it is still growing rapidly. You would strip it of all its resources in no time at all if you continued to reproduce at such a high rate, and lived three to four times longer than you currently do. You are utterly destroying your planet as it is and cannot afford to accelerate that process at all."

Jake chuckled and said, "You're right about that. I'd sure love to stick around to enjoy being with you another two hundred and twenty years, though."

The tiger smiled and said, "And so you shall, my love. Our advancements are no secret, nor are they locked to our race. They are simply a form of therapy that nearly reverses the cellular degeneration in mammals that causes us to age, then dramatically slows the process going forward. A simple injection is all you need once every ten years or so. That is the highest frequency our bodies can handle. If we could inject more often, we would live even longer. I've already had my computer check into your biology's compatibility with it, and it has informed me it will work quite effectively. I was not surprised, since it works on every mammal from my world as well as us, and would likely work for every one in your world as well."

"You're telling me I might live another two hundred years?"

"Yes, likely somewhere near that amount given your current age. As I said, it sort of nearly reverses the aging process to a degree. As the therapy works on your body it will actually cause older generation cells to die off completely rather than producing another even older generation. They will be replaced by brand new first generation cells. Once I give you the therapy you will begin to feel quite a bit younger over the next several months before you settle into your new state. I would say, going by what I've seen so far in your media of how humans age, you will be roughly in the state you were in in your mid-twenties. You will continue to age from there, but at a much slower rate. When the next injection happens in ten more years, your aging will reverse a small amount again, then continue forward slowly."

"Holy crap! And you're just telling me this now? I need to hitch a ride over there to your planet right away and get that injection!"

The cat chuckled and said, "There's no rush, my love. What's another couple of months when you have more than two hundred more years to live?"

"Well, it's certainly a surprise. It's terrific! I look forward immensely to that much more time spent with you."

The cat put his big furry paw on Jake's hand and rubbed it and smiled at him as he said, "As I do with you, my sweet man. More than you can imagine. I was certain I would be lonely for the entirety of the long life I would live, but you have changed all of that. I never would have imagined that if someone were to fall in love with me, he would be the most attractive person I could have ever have even dreamed up. I cannot describe how wonderful it makes me feel to know that you are mine, and that you want me as your own."

Jake grinned and said, "It still blows my mind to hear you say that. I can't even imagine anyone more appealing to me than you are. I'm the one who's supposed to be telling you that I never could have possibly dreamed that someone as wildly attractive, intelligent, and wonderful as you would want me."

"Awww, that's so sweet! You two are such a great couple!" the man who'd been ogling their junk earlier exclaimed.

Jake looked over and the man was wiping tears from his eyes and smiling at them. He looked around the room and saw others in the diner smiling and nodding. He chuckled to himself. People are so strange. A moment ago they were disturbing demons and someone was even hustling her children away from them. Now all of a sudden they were a great couple.

He asked Hunter, "So, what are your people like, generally? Physically I mean. Do you come in a variety of sizes? Are you an average sized example of your race?"

"No, I am not. I'm somewhat taller than most of my people, in just about the same proportion I would say as you are taller than the average for your people. Most of us are quite fit, though most aren't quite as muscular as I am. I have been so bored alone on Mars that building my body up became a sort of hobby to help keep me occupied. Also, my penis is unusually large for my race. It is my curse."

Jake looked over at the man who'd been drooling over it earlier and saw exactly the dumbfounded reaction he was expecting.

He chuckled as he said, "Well, I absolutely love it."

"As I absolutely love yours. It is the perfect size. I suppose in that sense we were made to please each other perfectly."

"Awww, that's so sweet!" the man at the other table said again.

Jake and Hunter both chuckled, as did several other people in the room.

The waitress came around again and asked, "Can I get you two sweethearts anything else?"

Jake smiled at her and said, "No, thank you. It was all terrific and I'm stuffed. I'm sorry, but as you can see, neither one of us is carrying any money. I'd give you a nice big tip if I could, but I'm strapped right now."

She smiled and said, "I can think of one thing that would be worth more than any amount of tip. Could I please get a picture with Hunter?"

The tiger immediately stood up and said, "If that is all it will take to pay my way through this world, then I am wealthy indeed! I would love to have a picture taken with such a wonderful young lady."

Nancy giggled and grinned at the huge, muscular cat and she was beginning to look even more flushed. She pulled out her phone from a pocket in her apron and looked at Jake a bit embarrassingly. She obviously didn't care to have Jake in the picture, but that was absolutely fine with him.

He smiled and took the phone from her and asked them to move over near the counter. He noticed several other people in the room suddenly realized they'd been missing an opportunity and they began to pull out their phones and take videos of what was going on.

Hunter and the waitress posed together and Jake took a few pictures for her, then the doppelganger roared and picked her up and held her horizontally over his head while she laughed, and Jake took more pictures. The cat then lowered her down, but cradled her in his arms for a few more pictures. She was blushing profusely as she grinned up at the black tiger's face while he held her.

Hunter finally put her down and Jake handed her phone back to her and saw that she was visibly shaking with excitement and grinning so hard it seemed like her face might get stuck that way.

Ed made his way back from the kitchen into the diner and approached Hunter and Jake and said, "If you nice folks don't mind, there's a couple of people who are dying to meet you."

He pointed towards the window and Jake turned to look. He saw there were dozens of people gathered out on the street and he could see even more coming. Many of them had their camera phones out and were taking videos through the window.

Right at the window was a somewhat older couple who were both grinning at them. The woman was wiping tears from her eyes and even the man's eyes looked to be shining a bit.

"That's Gladys and John Seeger. They're my mom and dad. Their youngest son Joe's coming home early from one of the most dangerous places in the world, safe and sound, because of you, and they're over the moon. They really want to thank you in person."

Hunter wasted no time and immediately made his way through the crowd of people in the diner and out the door to the front and Jake followed.

The big cat grinned and put his hand out and said, "Gladys, John, it is indeed a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am Hunter and my sweet mate here is called Jake."

Gladys just smiled as more tears fell down her cheeks and her arms came up as she moved forward. Hunter crouched to bring his seven feet of height down into range and the woman put her arms around his neck and simply wept while Hunter patted her back gently.

John came forward, grinning, and held his hand out to Jake and he shook it. He then held it out to Hunter and the big cat shook his hand behind Gladys's back without letting her go. He wanted to give her time to get it out of her system.

At last the small woman let the huge tiger go and stepped back and wiped at her eyes again while she said, "We can't thank you enough for what you did for us. I don't know if you know what it's like to have a child in harm's way and never know when that call might come that you never want to get. We'll never have to worry about that again with Joe. No family anywhere in the world will ever have to worry about that again, thanks to you two."

Jake saw Hunter surreptitiously wipe tear from his own eye before he said, "You are more than welcome, my dear woman. If there is anything more Jake and I can do for you and your family, do let us know."

Gladys turned to Jake and put her arms up and he hugged her hard as she said, "Thank you so much."

The crowd started clapping and Jake saw that they all looked quite emotional and were grinning from ear to ear. He suspected Gladys and John were long time residents of the town and well known and liked, and everyone there appreciated what Hunter had done for them.

They all started to approach to shake hands with them and Hunter and Jake went through the crowd and shook the hand of anyone who proffered theirs. Jake had never seen so many happy people offering him their hand in welcome in his life, and he was quite moved. They all seemed so friendly.

A short, stout man was muscling his way through the crowd and when he reached them he loudly said, "Hello, there. I'm Jim Brooks, the mayor of this wonderful town. I'm pleased to make your acquaintance."

Hunter introduced himself and Jake and told the mayor how pleased he was to be so welcomed by the town and its wonderful people.

Jake was approached by someone and asked how he'd come to hook up with the leader of the world, and someone else reminded that person that Jake was co-ruler himself. Everyone wanted to know how the heck the two of them had ended up in their town and what they were going to be doing next. They were all vying for attention at once and it was getting to be a bit difficult to answer any of their questions.

Suddenly the mayor shouted, "Folks! If I could get your attention for a moment! Please, everyone hush now, and look this way."

Jake saw the mayor had stood up on a bench on the street so he could be seen by everyone and he had his arms up like he was about to make a proclamation or something.

He looked around and saw that the crowd had swelled considerably and must now include just about everyone who called the town home.

"As some of you may already know, Hunter and Jake here are the ones responsible for one of our own, Joe Seeger, to be coming home early from Afghanistan!"

There was a rousing cheer and everyone began to applaud them loudly and the mayor had to finally bring up his hands again and motion everyone back to silence.

"All over this country there are towns full of people just like ours who are getting their own back in one piece because of these two. It wouldn't do to let them get away from us without a proper thank you. I've been talking to Hunter here and he's agreed to stay in our town for the day and join us in an impromptu thank you celebration in their honor. Let's all of us take the day off and throw us a picnic!"

An even louder cheer erupted and then everyone began to excitedly talk about who should provide what and what they should bring along and what sort of entertainments they should arrange and when they should begin.

The mayor spoke up again and said, "Y'all can start making your way to the picnic grounds on the other side of town now if you like. Gladys and John will escort our guests there. Ed will help arrange the food, and refreshments will be provided by Mike's tavern. Either one of them might call on you for assistance. Let's show Hunter and Jake just how welcoming we can be! Everyone go on and have some fun now!"

The people all began to flow down the street and Gladys took Hunter's and Jake's hands and led them with John walking along at their side.

People seemed to have forgotten about the nakedness of the two doppelgangers, or they just chose not to care. Even the children were allowed to come over and say hi to them.

They had a wonderful day chatting with various people who had all sorts of questions for them that they answered as best they could.

Traditional picnic type activities were eventually arranged and they all had a great time.

Hunter was taken with the children and he couldn't seem to get enough of them. He told Jake at one point that he hadn't seen any young cubs in such a long time that it was wonderful to see these carefree and playful little humans running around him. Needless to say, Hunter's natural playfulness kicked in full force and he had a ton of fun with the children. He and Jake both joined the kids in sack races, croquet, bean bag tossing games, tag, and hide and seek. Someone even had a huge outdoor Jenga tower that Hunter proved to be a master at.

They played horse shoes with some of the older folks from the town for a while and one couple even helped Jake to teach Hunter how to play cribbage, and another of the older ones taught Hunter how to play checkers.

They posed for dozens of pictures throughout the day and many people were taking videos of everything that was happening.

Hunter enabled the strength enhancement on their suits at one point and Jake put his hands down on the ground palm up and asked two of the older kids to step on, one on each hand. He lifted them up easily over his head with his arms spread wide, then Hunter came up behind him and Jake stepped onto his hand and Hunter lifted them all up over his head. The kids laughed and lifted one of their feet outward while Jake gripped the other and they started waving at everyone, and Hunter waved with his free hand too as he walked among the crowd and they gasped and cheered at the effortless show of strength.

They lifted and rearranged cars and trucks in the parking lot next to the picnic grounds and jokingly played a short game of checkers with them, now that Hunter knew the rules of the game, and everyone watched in wonder.

A boy asked Hunter to see how far he could throw his baseball and when Hunter asked him if he wanted it back, the boy just shrugged. The big cat asked around for something to write with and someone handed him a black Sharpie. He asked what the boy's name was and he said Noah. Hunter had Jake write 'Property of Noah' on the ball, then he signed his own name on it and told the boy he could have his ball back, but only when he was old enough to climb that mountain over there to get it. The cat then wound up and threw the ball so hard that its trajectory clearly suggested he had likely just about nailed it and the ball would land right at the top of the highest nearby peak. The boy grinned and promised he'd go looking for it some day, and Hunter ruffled his hair and nodded at him.

People brought around food and refreshments and Hunter had to decline everything he was offered, but Jake nearly got himself sick eating hot dogs and corn on the cob and drinking beer as everyone kept coming around and offering him more.

They had a terrific day and partied until the early evening.

Everyone seemed to be getting tired, so eventually the mayor demanded their attention again and shouted, "Folks, listen up! I just want to thank Hunter and Jake for joining us today. It was wonderful to meet you both. After speaking with you so much and having so much fun with you, I have to say it's really difficult to remember that the two of you are actually the rulers of this whole world! Hunter, you are the most powerful person on the planet, yet clearly you really are a man of the people..." the mayor stopped for a moment as he realized the tiger wasn't really a man at all in a sense, then he decided not to try to correct himself as he faced Jake and said, "...and that goes equally for you, Jake. You're both welcome in our town anytime you care to come back, and please let that be real soon."

The crowd cheered loudly and began to applaud and the mayor raised his hands again to settle them down and said, "Gladys and John own the motel in town and they've made a room ready for you. We hope you'll consider our little town your home for the night."

Hunter's doppelganger stepped forward and turned to address everyone and said, "I have never felt so warmly welcomed in my entire life by so many at once, and it truly touches my heart. You are all such wonderful people. We will be delighted to spend the night in your town, but we must leave early in the morning and we may not get a chance to see many of you again.

"I want to thank you all for this wonderful gathering. It has been the most fun I've had in a very long while. At last I have seen the side of humanity that I knew must exist. I knew there had to be more of you who were like Jake. I love him more deeply than I could ever love anyone else, and I now have a sense of why that is. If the people he comes from are as wonderful as all of you then I couldn't help but fall in love with him. I hope that there are a great many more out there just like you. You are precisely what the entire human race should aspire to be. You are all the best possible example of your race and you should be proud of that fact.

"As you may well imagine, I have had a great deal on my mind of late, and to simply forget it all and move among people who's agenda is nothing more than to enjoy the love and laughter and warmth of each other's company has been a much needed break from my reality. I will never forget this day. I love you all for how wonderful you've made me feel. Good night!"

The crowd broke into another rousing cheer and they all applauded long and loud and then began to chant, "Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake..."

Clearly they weren't quite done hearing speeches yet and they wanted Jake to say a few words too.

He stepped up next to Hunter and turned to the crowd and said, "I'm sort of a private person and not really one for giving speeches, so I'll keep it short. This has all been such an unexpected and really terrific surprise. I wasn't even sure this sort of neighborliness even existed in the world anymore. I just want to tell you all how glad I am of how welcome you've made us feel. I'm deeply in love with Hunter and I'll be with him for the rest of my life. I want him to know who I am and where I come from and what my race is like, and you guys really put your best foot forward today. He knows now just how terrific the human race can be thanks to you. Like he said, you're the best example of us and you're what every town and every city on this planet should model themselves after. It's really been a terrific day and it was really great to meet you. Thank you all."

He turned to face Hunter and the big cat grinned and wrapped his arms around Jake and they kissed and then hugged as the crowd once again erupted into another round of cheering and applauding.

Finally things settled down again and people began to disperse, most came by to shake their hands one last time.

John Seeger came forward and led them down the street to the motel and got them settled in.

The two were completely exhausted by the time they collapsed into their bed. It had truly been an unexpectedly magnificent day.

They kissed and then cuddled for a while, and as usually happened when they were in close physical contact, their hands began to wander to more intimate areas and their desire for each other began to build.

Hunter was on his back and Jake rolled on top of the big tiger and rubbed his naked body against Hunter's solid furriness. He could never get enough of how good it felt.

He reached down between them and took hold of the cat's engorged member and began to stroke it while Hunter purred his pleasure.

He moved in for another kiss and then moved his hand further down to caress the tiger's huge, magnificently heavy balls. They were so softly furred and so perfectly formed and so big. After enjoying playing with them for a bit his hand moved underneath them and searched for the cat's warm, tight pucker and began to finger it.

Hunter purred more loudly and moved his legs wider apart to give Jake more access. Jake pulled back from their kiss and smiled at his beautiful tiger's face and Hunter gazed up at him with a look of longing in his jade green eyes.

Jake moved down the bed between the big cat's muscular legs and moved his face in and rubbed it lovingly along the length of the tiger's big cock. He took it in his hand again and pulled back to retract the generous foreskin and expose the big purple head. He moved his face in and kissed it just under the head, then ran his tongue along the rough edges at the back edge of it. He moved his mouth down and sucked hard at the underside while he gripped it tightly and slowly jacked it with his hand, and Hunter moaned.

He moved further back down and kissed each of the cat's pendulous balls in turn, then he rubbed his cheek against them to enjoy the feeling of the softly furred and heavily stuffed sack. He ached to be able to enjoy the scent of his cat.

He moved further back again and looked down at the tiger's soft tail that extended down between his legs. He moved his face in and turned his cheek and rubbed it along the length of the tail as he moved his face back up towards the cat's big balls, then he wedged his face underneath them to try to follow the tail right to the tiger's warm, tight anus.

Hunter moaned again and he lifted his knees and hooked his big paws behind them to fully expose himself to his lover and looked down at Jake with even more longing than before.

Jake smiled and moved his face in closer and kissed the tiger's dark pucker and then inserted his tongue into it and drove it as deep as it would go as the big cat began to moan again. He loved the dirty act and he was thrilled that it was one of Jake's favorite things to do.

Jake's hands were both free so while he tongued his lover he reached up with his left hand and began to caress his big balls again. His right hand went back up to Hunter's thick cock and began to work it again and the tiger moaned more urgently at the myriad of wonderful sensations Jake was giving him.

The cat began to squeeze his anus tightly to force Jake's tongue out, then relax it again to allow his man to push it all the way back in. He loved the idea that his lover was cleaning his most intimate of places with his mouth, and he loved the sensation of the warm, wet tongue gliding against the multitude of sensitive nerve endings there. He began to moan more urgently as his overwhelming desire for Jake combined with the wonderful sensations of his touch began to bring the cat closer to his orgasm.

Jake sensed Hunter was getting close and he began to work the cat's big tool harder and faster while rubbing his other hand lightly back and forth under his big balls, and he increased the pressure and speed that he was working the tiger's tight, hot anus. In no time at all he could feel the first light pulses of the sphincter that indicated the spasms of the big cat's orgasm had begun.

Hunter groaned loudly and tensed and suddenly Jake felt the cat's massive, furry nuts tighten right up in his hand and the tiger's anus gripped Jake's tongue hard as a big spasm hit. Jake felt a powerful pulse run up the length of the cat's thick shaft as out there on Mars a huge volley of thick white spunk shot out of Hunter's cock.

As he often did out of reflex, Jake lifted his head up to watch the fireworks erupt, but of course he saw nothing but his beautiful tiger lying there, holding his knees up, head thrashing left and right as he moaned and rode out the powerful orgasm, but there was absolutely no cum for Jake to see. It was another of the more disappointing aspects of not actually being in the same room together. The doppelganger suit couldn't simulate the cat's voluminous release of semen.

He didn't want to lessen the tiger's enjoyment so he quickly moved his face back down and jammed his tongue back into the cat's rectum and worked it hard while again and again Hunter's anus clenched and he moaned and squirted everything he had out onto his belly.

When the big tiger finally settled down, Jake pulled back. He moved his left hand down to lightly rub at the outside of Hunter's anus while he gently squeezed at the base of the cat's penis to stretch out the last part of the tiger's pleasurable release until at last the cat's sphincter stopped pulsing entirely and he was spent.

Jake let go of him and moved a bit further back to allow Hunter to lower his legs back down, but the cat continued to hold them up and just gazed down at his man with his eyes still full of desire.

"Make love to me, my sweet man. I long to feel you inside me again."

Jake smiled and moved his knees up the bed while Hunter pulled his knees back further to raise asshole up higher for Jake to get at.

Jake was hugely turned on to see the big muscular tiger exposing himself and ready to be taken. He wasted no time and grabbed his cock and maneuvered so the tip was pressed against Hunter's warm hole. He began to push and the big cat moaned as his sphincter spread to accept his lover's straining organ. Jake moaned too as he smoothly pushed the full length of his penis in until he bumped up against the cat.

He moved his knees a bit and leaned more forward to get into a better position and Hunter lowered his legs onto Jake's shoulders. Jake pulled his hips back until his cock head peeked out of the cat's anus, then held that position briefly and reveled in the sensation as he thrust himself back into Hunter's incredibly hot and snug tunnel. He slowly built up a rhythm as he gazed down into his lover's beautiful green eyes. The cat smiled back up at him and his eyes shone with the love he felt for his mate.

Jake built the rhythm up slowly and thrust at his lover harder and faster over time. He loved fucking Hunter in this position because each time he thrust himself in, his big balls would make contact with the cat's furry tail and rub along it, giving Jake a wonderful sensation.

He allowed himself to let go and begin to really work towards his orgasm. He was so into his cat that it never took very long, and in no time he began to feel the familiar tickle that quickly began to build until it exploded outwards in a powerful torrent of electricity that caused him to cry out and tense as he pushed hard against Hunter's furry body and shot the first big spurt of his cum into him.

He groaned with pleasure as he pulled back and thrust in and tensed again as he felt another surge rush up his shaft and into his lover. Hunter intentionally clenched his anus as hard as he could in pulses to try to give Jake as much pleasure as possible, and Jake moaned as he pulled back and hammered his hips forward again and again as wave after wave of his intense orgasm shot through him.

At last it began to slow down and so did Jake. He finally pushed himself all the way back in and held the position while he felt the last soft pulses that pumped the last few drops of his semen into his lover.

He leaned forward and inserted his tongue back into Hunter's mouth and the two necked lovingly for a while, and then Jake finally pulled out, Hunter lowered his legs, and Jake lay down on top of him and they held each other.

"No matter how many times we do that it's always so intense for me. I love you so much you amazing cat."

Hunter rubbed his big paw on Jake's naked back and said, "I love you too, you wonderful human. It was such a treat to spend time with more of your people today. I am so pleased to know that your race shows such potential to be what it truly should be."

"They actually surprised me a bit. I was born and raised in a small town and that's sort of what it was like, but I've been away from it for so many years now that I forgot what it could be like. I'm glad it hasn't changed much, for this small town at least. I guess when people all know each other and grow up together, they see each other as family, even if they're not directly related."

"Yes. That is how it should be. Your entire world could be like that. All it would require is that you eliminate your governments, tear down your borders, eradicate your religions, nullify your currency, give up on the notion of ownership of things, and simply get down to the business of living and enjoying each other."

Jake chuckled and said, "Gee, you don't ask for much, do you? We'll get right on it."

Hunter chuckled too and said, "Good. I'll expect results within the week. Seriously though, I believe once my people get here and get settled, we might be able to assist your people to find their way to the type of life they should be living. It would take a lot of effort on your part, and a lot of faith, but perhaps once your people have been exposed long enough to how my people live, they might really want to try it."

"I hope that's the case. Something really needs to change here. Your forced disarmament is a great way to start, and would make it a lot safer going forward to try to make the sort of sweeping changes you're talking about."

The tiger nodded.

They held each other and basked quietly in the glow left behind by their powerful orgasms as they reflected on the events of the day.

As Jake thought about the way his tiger had been welcomed by these complete strangers, he felt a measure of relief. He hadn't been sure how people would respond to Hunter's ultimatum from the night before and his proclamation that he was the one in charge of the whole planet now and they had better listen to the new boss. If today's reception was any indication of how the world at large was going to take it, they might find it quite easy and very enjoyable to make their way along their travels from here on out.

It seemed the world was likely to fall in love with Hunter just as easily as Jake had done. With luck, that warm reception would extend to include all of Hunter's people when they arrive.
