Whose Sister is She?
Abna was in the nice bedroom, in the nice house in the nice neighborhood that she shared with Bill Hammond. He was at work so she would have no problem covering up the news that she was about to tell him. She had just gotten the long awaited communiqué from her sister.
She heard his car pull up in the drive. Quickly, she put away the console that belonged to the A.O.E, and hurried down stairs to greet him at the door. She was a moment too late, for she was halfway down the stairs when he opened the door.
"Good evening, honey, how was work today?" she asked in what she had learned was a polite way of greeting someone here on Earth.
"Well, it was nothing special today and probably wont be for awhile. The company hasn't found any new acts to give a record deal to," he replied.
"Why don't we go and sit in the living room. There's something I need to tell you about." They moved into the living room where she sat down and Bill followed sitting right next to her.
"Now," she continued, "you remember I told you that I have a daughter named Aaron, and that I sent her to live with my sister Jaci?"
"How could I forget? I painted one of the rooms earlier this year so it would be ready for when your sister decided to bring her out here. I can't wait to actually see her, but there is one thing that I've been wondering about. Why doesn't your sister send any pictures of her?"
"Well, I'm not too sure why, but I'm sure it's a good reason. Anyhow, Jaci's brining Aaron here sometime next week, maybe even later this week."
"Wow, that's wonderful, but… isn't it a little short notice? We don't have anything in the room for her. All there is is that old bed that my mother gave me so we could have a spare bed in that room, which won't suit a little girl at all."
He thought for a moment. "I know, I'll take tomorrow off. We'll go out on a shopping spree for some toys and a new bed and all that stuff that she will need. Of course, clothes will probably have to wait because we don't now what size she wears now, but we can do that the evening she arrives."
"That sounds good, but why don't we do that this evening and go out to dinner? You never know, this could be the last time we can do this without hiring a sitter."
"You know, that sounds like a better plan. I like it, so let's go."
"Right now, but I've got to change and so do you."
"Oh, all right. If I have to."
Later that evening, they returned home to find a car in the yard that belonged to Miresa's sister Jaci. Jaci sat there in the car with Aaron sleeping in the backseat. Miresa—as Abna called herself here on Earth—was surprised to see her here this early.
They invited her in and asked her if she wants to stay with them for the night, but she declined. Saying she needed to be back home as soon as possible, she left Aaron with them. She said a quick goodbye, and then left as quickly as she had come.
Aaron woke the next morning on the old bed in her new room and immediately began to scream. Miresa came to comfort her, telling her that it was all alright.
"I want my mommy," she whimpered, not yet having been informed that this lady was supposed to be her mother.
"But I am your mother."
Confused, Aaron protested. Miresa used some of her magic on the child before Aaron could give them away, hypnotizing the little girl so that she really did believe that this was her mother.
After that, she quieted down. Aaron hugged her and asked if they could play. Not knowing exactly what she was supposed to do with this child other than hide her from the Rangers, Miresa agreed and brought out the new toys. While playing, she decided that the best way to hide this child would be to pretend they were one big happy family.
