This is my first time uploading anything on this site so I'm still a little confused as to how everything works. I've already finished this story so the updates should be quick. Do enjoy!


Chapter One – Look out Earth Here Comes Ashley Davies!

"But dad I really want to go!" Ashley whined, desperately clinging on to her father's rubber spacesuit. "Please!" She begged bouncing a little.

Raife rolled his eyes. For the past hour and a half his daughter had been begging to be transported to that God awful planet!

"Ashley, why do you want to waste your time going to planet Earth? There really isn't much down there."

"I want to find something I can't find up here." She answered cryptically, looking down at her rubber covered shoes.

"And what would that be?" Raife questioned as he eyed his daughter suspiciously.

Ashley silently shrugged in response.

"Ashley Danielle 546 2733 55700 Davies, I asked you a question, you will not ignore me!" He demanded crossing his arms over his muscular chest.

Oh no, it was never a good sign, when her dad used her full name. She had better answer now or she'll be in deep shit, and unfortunately on this Planet, that's taken literally.

"I want to find what humans find … love daddy." She answered bashfully.

"You want to mate with a human!" Raife yelled incredulously.

"It's not just mating. I was in the Zygoteria when I overheard two aliens talking about it. By human definition love means a profoundly tender, passion for another person, a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection. Love sounds wonderful daddy!" She gushed with excitement.

"What is wrong with our female species? You can't find this 'love' you speak of with our own kind?"

"Daddy, everyone here is more like family to me! I don't want to mate with one of our own!" Ashley admonished as her shoulders shook in disgust.

"Ashley, you know nothing about the human world. It's a lot more dangerous down there then it is up here. You could get hurt, real easily."

"Dad, my strength is two times that of an average human." She replied confused at what her father was trying to get at.

Raife shook his head and pointed at Ashley's two hearts, "I mean here Ashley. Your hearts could get hurt so badly that it wouldn't even compare to any physical pain you've ever endeared."

Ashley gently grasped her father's hand, "I won't get hurt daddy, I promise. I'm eighteen zygots old. I think it's time you let me start handling things on my own."

Raife sighed, "I don't know Ashley. This is a big step you're taking. I mean one minute you're my little Martian and then the next you're all grown up."

"You know I will always be your little Martian right Daddy?" She asked placing a hand on her father's shoulder.

He nodded with a smile. Letting out a shaky sigh he looked Ashley dead in the eyes. "Are you sure you're ready for this?" He asked.

"I am." She answered confidently.

"Alright, I give you permission to journey to planet Earth."

Ashley jumped with glee. "Thanks daddy!"

Raife grinned. "Follow me," He commanded leading his daughter into his office where a large computer console stood. Activating it he called, "Computer!"

"Yes master." It responded.

"Show me the solar system maps."

"What planet would you like to view Commander Raife?"

"Earth please."

The computer scrolled to the planet. "What country master?"

"Show me, North America."

A map of the United States flashed before them. Raife turned to his daughter and looked at her expectantly. "Well Ashley, where would you like to teleport to?"

Ashley moved in front of the screen. The alien was unfamiliar with Human maps. Everything looked like a square. "I want to go here." She said pressing her finger against the longest shape.

"You have chosen, California, the Golden state." The computer spoke as it flashed pictures of the state's flag, animal, and people. "What city would you like to choose?"

Looking over the list Ashley bit her lip in concentration. "Los Angeles, sounds like a caring town." She thought out loud. Feeling confident about the city Ashley called. "Los Angeles."

"You have chosen Los Angeles, population, over twenty million. Founded in seventeen eighty one, city is also known as La La Land."

"That sounds like fun!" Ashley yelled.

"It sounds ridiculous. Where do humans come up with these names?" He muttered under his breath. "Computer, show me a list of families in the area who are hosts for a foreign exchange program."

"Loading family names … please wait."

"Daddy what's a foreign exchange program?" Ashley asked never have heard of the term before.

"It's a program where a student, chooses to live in a foreign country to learn, language, culture and other things."

"Why is it called an exchange?"

"They're called exchanges because it's a swap of students between different countries. You'll be living with a family who will host you while their kid is being hosted by another family in another country."

"Oh, I get it."

"All we have to do is pretend that you're a foreign student, which you technically are, and slip you into a home."

"Which family would you like to choose?" The computer asked.

Ashley pointed at a random name that said Carlin.

"You have chosen the Carlin family. Carlin family has five members. Spencer Carlin, age seventeen, Glen Carlin, age eighteen, Clay Carlin, age eighteen, Paula Carlin, age unknown, Arthur Carlin, age forty."

Ashley nodded, "Sounds good."

"Please, step on to the platform for your teleportation." The computer commanded.

Before Ashley could even make a move, her father stopped her. "Now Ashley there's no turning back from here, are you sure you want to go?" He warned.

Ashley nodded squaring her shoulders," Positive."

"Humans are a lot different then us. They have different customs and ways of life. Eating, drinking, driving, everything is different, do you understand me?"

"Yes I do."

"Alright." He reached into his pocket and handed Ashley a device she's never seen before.

She looked at it confused, "Dad what's this thing?"

"It's called a cell phone; humans use it to communicate with one another." Raife answered watching his daughter smell the item.

Ashley shrugged and slipped it into her pocket, "What a strange way to talk to one another."

"Now Ashley, there's a special button on the side that will allow you to correspond directly with me if you have to alright?"

"Alright," Ashley agreed, before she stepped on to the transmitter. Flashing her father one last smile she dissolved away.

"Good luck my little Martian." He whispered.
