Addison Pov:
"I know what I am, which isn't something that most people know now a days when it comes to the truth. Such as last month when I learned that I'm half alien from another world and have other family members. It's been rough for the last few weeks due to how Seabrook and the aliens had began to get along with one another, though with me aiding them it's gone perfectly smooth. If you don't count the small 'rivalry' that has been building up, which has involved Seabrook's renowned zombie protector Revenant and the alien's peacekeeper Apex. While Rev has opened up to welcoming my new family to town, he still felt on edge near Apex since there was always a competition going on. Except tonight since I've invited my friends to the mothership for a story telling from the time I spent in outer space."
Seabrook Diner-Morning
The once normal town of Seabrook had now become a community of both human and otherworldly that included zombies along other types of citizens that have either come here seeking a home to live in. Such as the aliens who had traveled across the system looking for a place to live in, right now one of their own was adapting to the surroundings such as Apex. The peacekeeper who was a host for the Blight that destroyed his and the others planet, was having a stare down with Revenant as it seemed to be another competition that Apex wanted to do with the zombie. Both of them had their eyes widen at one another seeing which one would blink.
"Feeling angry there big guy?"
Rev asking since after the past few weeks of keeping a eye out on the alien, Apex have slowly become peaceful just like the others. Still he had seem intrigued in settling which of their own races were capable of withstanding one another. By the table stands was Wynter and Aerial who was watching the display of endurance as they watched at how the stare down continued for several minutes.
"No. Just thinking about how you'll react once I win you my friend."
The alien boy responding as the two continued to challenge one another seeing who would blink. Meanwhile with Aerial and Wynter the two non human girls were talking about a certain earth tradition that the aliens didn't have back on their old planet.
"So a birthday is to celebrate one's progress in aging? Rather interesting, back on our world we merely adapt ourselves to continue our survival."
She explained which made the wolf girl nod as she was excited that today was her birthday. Right now both her and Revenant were suppose to have a grand lunch with him buying anything she wanted, though it got interrupted by Apex coming in and challenging him to a stare off.
"Well today is going be exciting! We're both going run three the forest for a small race, then check back at the den for my annual howl celebrating me becoming a strong werewolf. Lastly, we go back to the big house and watch some movies together."
Explaining what their plans were for tonight after spending time here at the diner as Aerial was fascinated with the plan. However the cyborg alien had gotten curious on another curiosity of their relationship between the zombie boy and werewolf girl.
"Why is it that you both do activities that are not like the others in Seabrook? Most of the couples attend festivals and events for the cheerleaders. Yet you seem to distant yourselves from them."
Questioning on how Wynter and Revenant spend their time together when they aren't looking over the town and protecting it from the various unknown creatures that felt disgusted by the community of human and non humans. Wynter took a moment to think about how they were the only couple that seemed to be the mist of danger and always getting in trouble.
"We don't, I mean a little when it comes to cheerleading presentations. Everything else we go to, but I prefer to the two of us having no interruptions."
Responding to Aerial about how while she thought both her and Rev kept to themselves since didn't enjoy the entertainment Seabrook offered them. The couple preferred to make their own without any interruptions. Looking back at the stare down it had seemed both Rev and Apex weren't going back down as their eyes seemed fixated on beating one another. Waiting to see which one of them would they heard the door open that caused them to blink at the same time.
"Dang it."
The two boys stating at the same time since they felt like they were going win the match. Taking the chance Wynter rushed over and jumped on Rev's lap making sure that Apex didn't start another contest with her boyfriend.
"Hey guys!"
A voice spoke out as the others looked to see who was calling out to them. It was Addison and Zed, who had been hanging out since her return from space. For the past several days Zed has learn almost half of the things that Addison had experienced while traveling amongst the stars.
"Cousin. It is a pleasure to see you again."
Aerial responding to her as the two had become affiliated with one another due to them being family. Leaving them to acknowledge one another in their own lives and to actually have someone of their own age. Inviting them over to the booths both Zed and Addison sat by the others so they could better acquainted.
"Glad seeing everyone here since tonight we're going be heading to the mother ship tonight for some stories that Addison and the others were going share. Didn't Apex and Aerial tell you about that?"
Addison asking the zombie and werewolf couple as they looked at the peacekeepers since they didn't inform them about the meeting tonight. Revenant looked at Apex seeing how he was denied that information when the red eyed alien was challenged in the staring contest.
"Anyway. A-Spen is excited tonight to explain what happened after we return back to Seabrook. Let me tell you, the stuff we saw is half to what I told Zed."
Sounding excited about the things she saw when exploring for her family's new home. While it be once in a life time chance of learning about other life forms and planets, Rev still felt uncertain since he now knew the aliens were going behave. Though didn't know how to approach the situation of hanging out with the aliens.
"Actually we might not be able to. It's Wynter's birthday and I promised her my full attention and do whatever she want."
Rev responding to the gesture of being invited back to the mothership where he still remembered how he battled the Blight and firing the entity into space. The others notice fast he answered them along Wynter as she thought it seem off that he wouldn't want to head back to the mothership.
"I don't mind. From movies at the theater about aliens I want to actually know what it's like in space, and if Addison got anything we could see together."
She stated that this could be a much better way to spend her birthday which involved learning what Addison's trip was like in space. Both Rev and Wynter looked at each seemingly having different opinions on if they should go or not, leaving the others to see this conflict stirring. Addison quickly coughed a bit to interrupt the two since this seemed that the conversation was going to another direction.
"Well it's nothing to big. But if you can come that's alright. I don't want to interfere with your birthday Wynter."
Informing the wolf girl that from how Rev heard the invite to the mothership he felt anxious of heading back to the Mothership. Suddenly Apex and Aerial's wrist bands begun to beep as it seem they were needed back at the mothership.
"I believe the others will need us. Zed, if you wish we could use your help in whatever might be happening."
Apex asking for Addison's boyfriends assistance since whatever it was might be urgent and would required zombie hands to handle it. He nodded to the peacekeeper as both he and Addison said their goodbyes to the others as the four headed out of the diner. This left Wynter with both of a upset and concern look which was aimed right at her boyfriend about what seemed to be the issue with coming onto the mothership.
"Rev? Are you still angry with them?"
Suggesting that he might have a personal issue with what had happened on the ship when he and Zed went alone to save Addison from the Blight. Rev shook his head at the notion since he had grew to respect the aliens and how much they had dealt with in the past. Though what he experienced was a whole other level since it involved him accepting what he was when he battled the Blight.
"No. It's just that, when I left that ship when the fighting was over. Along how I threaten those monsters, I felt something in me that I didn't know exist. Almost like my zombie side ready to break free, and end it."
Expressing how the fight with Blight took a personal toll on him and what it made him feel when he join the others. While she herself could express a sudden change in her after the fighting she's been around, it didn't turn her into something aggressive. While for Rev, felt like this situation almost changed him.
"Which is why for one day. I don't want to learn anything supernatural, no investigating or even looking in the shadows. I just want one day with you, and that's it."
Doing his best to tell her how out of all the times Seabrook had an unusual moment happening, he was always getting right into it. Having told her his discomfort of possibly getting involved with another situation that might get them into danger. Hearing his discomfort and how protective Revenant he was being protective for and the people around him, only held his hand and laid her head on his shoulder showing how he shouldn't feel like this.
"I must be a grouchy boyfriend to act so depressive."
Suggesting that he may have ruin some of Wynter's evening with talking about what he was feeling when they were invited to the mothership. That response made the werewolf girl to nudge him at his stomach for suggesting that he was making her birthday upsetting.
"Your not grouchy or even prude. Your just, protective which is a good thing. Maybe that underneath that zombie brain of yours needs to see your not alone, because I'm here. Otherwise another way I can convince you is I bite you."
Both teasing him along making sure that even after what he did or will do Revenant shouldn't feel alone in protecting Seabrook. The grey skin zombie shared a smile as it seem not matter what he was feeling or had to deal with, Rev could count on Wynter to cheer him up and focus on to enjoy what was happening right now. Thinking about how she was sticking by his side, he would do the same for her birthday and having a idea on how to handle so that they both could enjoy the day together.
Night Time-Mothership
When the aliens had made Seabrook their new home and agreed to the mayor as well the residents that they would share the town, the ship modified several homes for the aliens to live in as well adjust to the new environment. While the Mothership would be station near the Big House due to how it be good for the aliens keep a low profile from any wandering eyes that didn't about them. In the various rooms of the ship was Zed and Addison who were helping out set up for the story telling that A-Spen and the others would share.
"So there aren't any other type of aggressive aliens that might come to Seabrook?"
Zed asking how that this was the first alien species that he's seen and knowing how wide space was. The numerous ideas flooding his mind about of sentient species learning about Earth was both exciting and frightening at the same time.
"No Zed. More importantly most of the planets I was able to look up during the travel don't leave their homes, though there were some that weren't fond of guests."
Addison comforting him of the idea that not all aliens would seek to try and invade Earth. Looking over to the side was the aliens coming over with several beverages for them to try out as they were about to share their stories with Zed.
"It is saddening that only you could attend the story telling. I'd hope for others to come, but no less am still glad that you could attend. It is not common for us to share our travels with other races."
A-Spen thanking Zed for coming onboard the ship so they could explain to Zed what parts of the galaxy that Addison and the others had explored. Just as they were about to start off the story telling they noticed the lights flickering as mothership was trying to get their attention.
"As much as I would love to experience the almost death defying field trip we had. There's some people down below me that want to come aboard."
The ship informing them as A-Lan walked over to the screens to see what the ship was talking about. Getting visuals from below they saw none other than Revenant and Wynter who waved right above gesturing to come aboard.
"I believe we will be sharing our stories with more people."
He told his friend as A-Spen clapped their hands at how more of Addison's friends would be attending the story telling. Activating the teleportation from below the ship it began to dematerialize both Revenant and Wynter as they were brough up right into the room. Surprised at the sudden teleportation and arriving right where everyone was, which surprised Wynter since she never exactly had the chance to be teleported before.
"That. Felt awesome! Let's do it again."
Sounding excited about how it felt to suddenly become become nothing but particles to them reforming back on the ship. Revenant smiled rather embarrassed since it was her first time being on the ship as he invited her to find a place to sit. However Aerial made a gesture to the group which got everyone to turn right at the cyborg alien as she wanted to announce something.
"Before we start. I believe we must honor someone's day of birth, with a affectionate meal."
Bringing up Wynter's birthday as she turned to Apex seeing how he had something for just the occasion. Walking over to the controls he pressed a button which soon showed what appeared to be a cake, everyone was shocked at the sudden desert for the wolf girl as well how the aliens had it prepared for just her arrival.
"We we're going to travel to the wolf den and give it to you. However it had to be placed in a cold environment such as mothership due to it being 'ice cream' related?"
A-Li asking Addison since they could tell from the craftsmanship that the cake was ice cream based. Having cut up several slices and placing them on plates, they each got a piece of their own slices as the aliens were about to tell their stories.
"Right after Addison join us onto the command deck. She was able to pin point a possible world that might be habitable for us and almost related what we're eating."
She explained as the mothership soon opened up a hologram of what A-Li was talking about. Zed and the others watched at how they arrived to a bright a colorful planet only to meet a not so friendly creature that inhabit the world. Seemingly massive and having a large mouth, it tried to devour the four as well the mothership itself.
"Luckily the ship was able to burn it away due to the boost we got from the moonstone energy still saved up within the engines."
Addison stating as they managed to escape the colossal creature. Rev looked at his ice cream cake and decided to put it to the side seeing how he might have lost his taste. A-Spen was next to tell their tale due to how the next story seem to be quite the opposite of A-Ali's which involved danger.
"Out next planet seemed to almost similar to earth, the same atmosphere as well environment. Plus had incredible Wi-Fi."
Listing several of the key things that made the planet seem hospital for them. However their face soon changed as the others watched on the hologram where it showed Addison exploring a nearby bush, they saw what looked like a small pony galloping out in the open.
"Is that, a unicorn?"
Zed confused at the sight since those types of animals belong in fairy tales and other types of stories involving fantasy. Addison soon sighs of how she didn't like this next part as the recording showed the unicorns breathing fire. The next several seconds showed the aliens either trying to survive the unicorns or avoid getting scorched alive due to how fast they were.
"Needless to say that our search had become more challenging each day. Along how it had seem no place in the galaxy would offer us a new home."
A-Lan responding of how it seemed that after a whole week of traveling with Addison due to her connection with the map and flying across the stars and void of space, there seem to be no answer. Turning over to Addison who would be the own to offer her voice in the matter, decided to help explain what happen next.
"However after coming to the point the only place where they could be accepted and feel welcome was Seabrook. Since it's the only place on earth that has well almost everything to both enjoy and share with."
Making a statement that even after traveling a entire week across the galaxy, Earth was the one place that felt like a home to them. Leading up to them returning back to Seabrook and making the town their permanent home.
"Plus that your water is so dazzling at night. Especially with the lights that shine when the moon glows above it."
The ship stating which might have meant whenever the full moon would appear at the water which Rev thought was fascinating since he never seen the Seabrook waters glow at night. Deciding to check out what the ship meant, the zombie saw a mirror right outside where he and the others took a moment to gaze upon the lake right near the Big House which traveled across right downwards to Seabrook's beach. The water reflected right off from the moon light making it glow as bright as the ship itself.
"Amazing."
Apex admitting at the sight as the others went to watch how the water almost shined as bright as the stars in the sky. Everyone watching the peaceful moment, Rev decided to try something since the moment felt rather perfect. Looking to Wynter seeing how she was distracted by the water sneaked a quick kiss on the her check that made her whelp at the surprise.
"Happy birthday Wynter."
Complementing her as well seeing how whatever gift she might get from the pack or any of her friends. This was one gift that would feel unique and one that Wynter could never forget. The wolf girl merely hugged him tight which managed to crack a bone in his body due to how affectionate he was to leaving the others to smile at the couple. They soon continued to gaze at the outside admiring the glow the water along enjoying their time with one another on the mothership.
