This choice: Before the ice cream she wants to do a pedicure • Go Back...Chapter #7A cataclysmic pedicure by: SweetGab   Although Xinu is very euphoric about the current experience, with each new step she is realizing how much the ground that she is walking on, is very malleable and fragile. Of course, this is because she is a being of 1000 miles (1609km) and, perhaps, weighing 34 quadrillion tons, can put any material under severe stress. The problem, however, is that all this mush of magma and earth that is raised, accumulates between the ridges of her soles and she is feeling a little tired when lifting her feet (as if she were walking in mud). Fortunately, before the ice cream, there is a clearing of land that overlooks a puddle (for her of course) which would be very useful for wiping out the accumulated dirt from her feet.

Australia as a nation no longer exists from the first step. Now, it's barely a land mass. The alien, quietly and unconsciously, continued to walk destroying everything in front of it. No nation on the globe has the capabilities to respond to such a threat. Indeed, with all the earthquakes and destruction caused, the Internet and many lines of communication are no longer operational, entire nations have been razed to the ground and they did not even know of the existence of that alien. A terrible situation, but not as terrible as what is about to fall from above to the surviving Australians.

Xinu in a few steps has arrived at the coast. She can see Antarctica, but the main objective now is to clean the soles. She checks behind her for a moment and as she slaps her butt she thinks: "Yeah, that's roomy enough." Before sitting down, however, another selfie is needed: "I love the Earth! They even have a large chair for me ;)" Obviously the photo shows a smiling Xinu, part of her grey backside and an infernal Australia. Once the photo is also posted, Xinu sits normally. The problem is that on land all this is not normal.

David was camping with his camper in the vast and uncultivated Australian wilderness. Suddenly a series of earthquakes devastated everything and for some reason he was still alive, isolated from the rest of the world. He was dumbfounded by the enormous grey creature that furrowed the lands with all the tranquillity of the universe. And now he is witnessing firsthand the descent of the biggest ass. He didn’t try to escape, David accepted his fate with open arms, which is Xinu's butt 208 miles (335km) wide.

Needless to say, the impact was more devastating than all the steps taken up to that point. The entire impact area sank and was immediately filled with magma. A few seconds later, half of Australia broke apart and the shock waves once again circled the globe. For Xinu instead, she felt simple warmth, but this time vibrations and tectonic movements excited her a little. She tried to keep a straight face, but the pleasure made her bit her lips. Nonetheless, she was now ready to wash her feet. She soaked them, but given the shallowness of the puddle, she also used her hands to move millions of tons of water to clean them better. The mush gradually decreased, as did the water which dispersed in the vast area. Although now her feet are cleaner than before, some traces of that dirt are still there (now shipwrecks have also joined as also thousands of marine biomass), but now the blue nail polish on her toes shines. "Now it's much better!" she writes as a comment to a photo of her that features her clean grey feet and the immense destruction in the background.
