This story should take place around the time after "lessions in love", brief summary. Newton and Kimmy are going out, Lance and Ilana are close but still not completely comfortable with eachother. Stay tuned for updates, tell me what you think in the comments :)
In a comfortable two story house in Sherman, Illinois. Three humanoids gathered around a table for supper. A larger man with a balding head and a thick brown mustache sat at the end of the black marble table, this was… dad. At least that was his human disguise, in reality, his name was Octus, and he was… a robot.
Around the corner was a cheerful blonde girl, seventeen years old and had the most peculiar hair style, with a long curl sticking up in the back. On her home world, Galaluna, this was a very traditional style. There, the backs of things usually stood up signifying that it was pointing to their three moons.
Lastly, not forgotten, was a strong, but soft spoken eighteen year old. The black haired boy sat at the very opposite end of the table, barley stirring at his food. Verbal communication wasn't a strong point for this capable Galalunian soldier. He communicated with a few chosen associates, only people he was close to, on this planet (earth) he wasn't sure who they were.
Ilana, the blonde girl, was lance, the boy's only reasonable companion. Earth was full of primitive humanoids, which had not been shown reasonable ways of living… like on Galaluna, but they were still interesting none the less. Most of his interest however was pointed towards the girl, he greatly cared about her. She had the sweetest laugh and was beautiful and outgoing.
But after the loss of his father so many moons ago, he didn't like to attach himself to anyone. Friends in the military with him all ended up being killed. Anything or anyone he loved had been taken from him, he reasoned himself that if he cared for the girl, fate would just take her away.
In his mind, he would protect her, but keep their relationship neutral; lance didn't feel he'd have a purpose for living without her. So, he'd extend to his furthest abilities to keep her from harm's way, unfortunately, the girl saw his motives differently.
In her mind, he didn't let her do anything, she was strong and independent. Being the king of Galaluna's daughter, heir to the throne, she was perfectly capable of handling things for herself. It made absolutely no sense for him to restrain her from things like… making friends, not that she'd had any luck with that anyways.
People at school saw her as a pretty weird person; 'doofus' was the name she picked up. Dufius was the name of a sweet Galalunian fruit, but she doubted they were referring to that. Her one desire was to be accepted by someone on this planet. Octus liked her, but he didn't count, being a machine in all. And Lance on the other hand was taking his mission way too seriously.
Her father had sent him and the robot with her to earth in order to escape from a mutraddi invasion about 6 months ago. He was only protecting her because it was his job.
No one was there to accept her; she blankly stared at her half eaten slice of garden vegetable pie and pitied herself.
The trio sat in silence for a short moment, picking at their dinners. Suddenly a faint knock was heard at the front door. Lance tensed.
"it's Kimmy, I'll go see what she needs", octus blankly said in his monotone voice, turning into Newton, his holomatrix disguise for another alter ego: nerdy high school student. Kimmy was Newton's girlfriend, who had actually fallen for the robot, unaware of his actual being. Whether his programing actually allowed him to feel anything with her, was unknown.
Lance and Ilana heard some discussion in the living room between the two. Moments later, Newton walked back into the dining area, "Kimmy and I are going out to a restaurant downtown, we should not be out past 10:00Pm. Contact me if there is any trouble."
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Lance casually asked.
"just let him go Lance, you need to loosen up and give him some freedom.", Ilana hastily replied, quickly getting up and putting her dishes in the sink, and heading off to her room.
"…what's up with her?" The boy wondered what he had said. Advanced military tactics, aero dynamics, Galalunian politics. So many things he understood, but the female mind was not one of them. "just go on your date or whatever. Call me if the rift gate opens"
Lance went to his room, carefully avoiding Kimmy and moving up the stairs with absolutely no eye contact. "Newton, are you coming?" his human girlfriend asked.
"Yes, sugar bear." he replied, an earth broadcast program he watched with Ilana on Friday nights called "High School Heights" clearly stated that his position in a relationship required using these strange code names. Earth culture was indeed most peculiar.
