Hey, everyone! Sorry about the wait, but with school and work getting in the way, as well as my brother being absolutely ADDICTED to my gaming computer in my bedroom, and having to help my father with a landscaping project, I have suffered from a bit of Writer's Block. However, I do have a laptop, so I try to leave my bedroom when I can to work on this story. Hopefully, my brother will be leaving to head off to a university for the fall semester, and I hope we'll be done with landscaping by then, leaving me free to get my peace and zen. Anyways, hopefully this half-assed chapter isn't so bad...

Shortly after Kira, Aster, and Star left to head back home, Kai, Sugarcube, and Chase all cleaned the house up following their night of fun. Shortly after they finished, Chase went up to his room, where he promptly fell asleep. Kai and Sugarcube, meanwhile, were watching television in their bedroom.

"Y'know, Kai..." Sugarcube began. "...Chase is asleep. So, why don't we have a little... special time with each other?"

Kai raised a brow. "How so...?"

"Well..." the female Xenomorph began, shifting herself to lay on her side. "...I've been feeling fairly... tense, lately..."

Sugarcube put her uppermost leg straight upwards momentarily, and then brought it down at a ninety-degree bend atop the other leg.

"...maybe you could give me... some nice therapy for my sooore leeeegs and feeeet...?" she said.

She then brought her arm facing downward up to her head region, and rested her elbow on the bed with the side of her head against her hand.

Kai's rational thinking was being completely overriden.

Goddamn... he thought. ...why does she have to be So. Damn. Sexy?

Compared to Xenos like Aster, who looked just like a regular Drone, except for his male parts, Sugarcube had a far more curvy, feminine appearance. Her breasts... her buttocks... she most definitely looked female from a distance.

Kai definitely felt willing to give Sugarcube what she wanted at this point.

"...Alright..." Kai said. "...I'll give it my best shot."

"What do you mean, your 'best shot'?" Sugarcube asked.

"Well... see, Sugar... I'm not a masseur. I've never massaged anyone's feet or legs before..." he said.

Sugarcube smiled. "That's okay, honey... just do what you know... it'll be better than nothing..."

Kai sat up, and walked over to Sugarcube's side of the bed. She hung her feet over the side, and those feet...

...those feet. Kai was immediately becoming hormonal at the mere sight of them. He could only wonder what rubbing them was going to be like, yet he would find out in just a few seconds.

He began to rub Sugarcube's feet in a way that he assumed would be effective for a massage, and the effect was nearly immediate; Sugarcube leaned backwards, letting out a pleasured croon.

"...Ohhh, Kai..." she said. "...ahh... this is... sooo good... oh, your hands... they're like magic..."

Sugarcube purred in delight as Kai continued to rub her feet. Already, Kai had quite a deep flush covering nearly his entire body, and he definitely had quite a hard-on in his tousers, which was pulsing and felt extremely good. Sugarcube was also quite turned on by the footrub she was getting.

After a little while, Kai decided to conclude Sugarcube's massage once he felt like it was good enough for her.

"Feel better...?" Kai asked.

"Y-yeah... well... u-um..." Sugarcube said, placing her hands on her lower belly and crotch.

She let out a whimper. Kai stood up upon hearing the sound of discomfort from his mate.

"What's the matter, Sugar-Babe?" Kai asked.

"Well, see, I..." Sugarcube trailed off, just before falling to her knees with her face to the floor, grabbing onto Kai's ankles. "...PLEASE, Kai! Please just give me relief! You have NO IDEA how badly I need it!"

"Uh..." Kai tried to avoid the situation that he instantly became aware of. "...what do you want me to do?"

"I wanna MATE, Kai! Please! I'm suffering... I'm in pain..." she pleaded. "...my sexual organs are on FIRE, and I need you to put them out! Please... I'm begging... just one night..."

Wow... her Estrous cycle is uncontrollable. Kai thought.

"Well..." Kai began. "...w-when you put it that way... I guess... well... I mean, it was nice to give you a footrub and all, so..."

Sugarcube smiled. Bingo... I've got him under my thumb, now. Or rather... under my pussy... She thought, chuckling.

She then pulled Kai over onto the bed with her tail, making him fall into a laying position right next to her.

"So then... if you liked what you did just now..." Sugarcube said, pulling Kai closer. "...then let's turn it up a few notches, shall we...?"

She stuck her secondary mouth out at Kai's face, lightly opening and closing it at a fast pace.

"Sugar, c'mon..." Kai said. "...no need for kissy-face..."

"I like KISSY-FACE!" Sugarcube said.

Jeez... her mood swings are definitely not relenting anytime soon. Kai thought.

Her rapidly-changing emotions were causing a bit of turnoff for him.

"Look... Sugarcube..." Kai began. "...I think it's best... if... if we take it slow... okay?"

Sugarcube was about to become disappointed once more... but she happened to recall Kira mentioning how Aster has sometimes used telepathic hypnosis on her, and she remembered using it on Kai when they first mated. This gave her an idea...

While Kai continued to try and protest against Sugarcube's wants... she began to bombard him with her telepathy. It took a moment to take effect, but Kai closed his eyes as his expression became fairly free of concern.

"Ohhh..." Kai said, bringing his hands up to his head.

Sugarcube smirked. "...What's the matter, Kai?" she asked in a conspicuous tone.

"Ah..." Kai uttered with his hands still on his head. "...I feel weird..."

He continued to get lost in the feeling as he was entering a euphoric state. He was not exactly sure what was happening... but it felt really good. However, something crept into his mind. Something that happened a year ago on their first trip to Mars...

"Wait..." Kai said, struggling to stay in control. "...S-Sugar... cube... are... y... you... do... ing... th... th..."

He could not say any more; he opened his eyes to reveal his heavily-dilated pupils with greenish haze in them as a pleasant expression filled his face. His consciousness had been fully replaced with Sugarcube's telepathic thought.

Native Xenomorphs often used telepathic brainwashing as a means of subduing their prey. They would use it to put said prey into a heavy trance, or even cause them to fall asleep, and then move in for the kill while they are unable to escape. But of course, genetically-modified Xenomorphs like Sugarcube and Aster had no intention of using it for malevolent purposes.

"Now, my love..." Sugarcube said. "...do you want to mate with me?"

"...Yes, my love..." Kai responded, still under trance.

With that, the two proceeded to shut all of the curtains, and lock the windows and doors, completely isolating the bedroom for their... special night...

(XXXX)

Chase was still sleeping in his bedroom downstairs, on the other side of the house... and he was having a very pleasant dream. It started off bland, but got better...

He was standing in the middle of a field with knee-deep, golden grass. The sky was fairly cloudy, and everything looked fairly dull.

"Where am I...?" Chase wondered.

For all he could tell, the field stretched out beyond what his photoreception could pick up. But then, he heard something...

"Chaaaaaaaaase...!" came the voice of a girl.

Looking behind him where it came from, Chase saw a young female Xenomorph rushing for him, as if in slow motion, and the clouds above her dissipated as she passed, as well as flowers instantly blooming on the grass in her wake. A large smile appeared on Chase's face.

"Star!" he said.

It was indeed the same Xenomorph girl he met earlier that evening. She spread her arms, as if rushing over to hug him, a big smile on her face. Chase spread out his own arms, ready to catch her. And he did; the two wrapped their arms around each other, as well as wrapping their tails together. As this happened, butterflies flew out from under the flowers. Birds soared through the air. A rainbow appeared in the sky after the clouds had fully dissipated.

"Oh, Chase..." Star said. "...I don't ever want to leave your arms."

"And I never want to stop holding you close to me..." Chase responded.

A pink glow enveloped the two, and a column of light appeared around them. Slowly, they both began to levitate into the air, their bodies facing downward, but holding each others' hands and maintaining eye-level (or head-level) with each other.

"Chase..."

"Star..."

Both of them slowly stuck out their secondary mouths... slowly moving them towards each other... ready to make contact...

Chase awoke to notice sunlight streaming through his bedroom blinds. He felt saddened all of a sudden.

"Aww... it was just a dream..." Chase said to himself, hanging his head down. "...when will I be able to tell Star how I feel about her?"

He stood up, opened his blinds, and looked out the window.

"I know me and Star are meant to be..." Chase said, staring at the sky.

(XXXX)

Star woke up herself. Like Chase, she was saddened as well... but it was because she happened to have quite a similar dream as well.

"Well... it may take a while for him to open up..." she thought. "...but I know he can do it."

Though she was sad that it was just a dream, just experiencing it left something of a happy feeling inside of her for the day to come...

Sorry; no lemons at the start! I'm gonna save it for a later point in the story between two other characters. However... I'm sure you can imagine that Sugarcube had her way with Kai... XD. Anyways, sorry about the long wait, but I have had bad Writer's Block, and have been very busy. But don't assume that I will abandon this fic! I care about you guys too much! So, thank you all for your patience, and I will return with more! See you soon! Keep holding on...
