Coop and Dennis went up to the tree house.
There were only two bean bag armchairs, Coop sat down on one.
Dennis: Please, sit down Mrs. Burtonburger...or Ms. Salib? Because we don't know if they divorced, or not.
Monica: No thanks, I'll sit here on the carpet, after all, this is your fortress. So Ms. Salib? I guessed that I could speak Arabic because I was from the Middle East. Salib means cross in Arabic.
Coop: You're only half, Grandpa is Egyptian, but dad didn't tell me anything about him or that you cheated on him.
Monica: What? With who?
Coop: With Captain Blasteroid.
Monica: Wow!
Coop: Wow?! That's all you can say?
Monica: What can I say? I had an affair with a celebrity, not many people can say that about themselves, even if it's true.
Coop: There's a reason why dad doesn't tell about you or your family, and even hides the pictures of you.
Monica: What should I say to that? I'm sorry? I don't think it would be better if it happened then it happened, I can't change it. Look Kid, I think we should put this aside for now, because I have no memories, so I can't defend myself and it's not fair! The woman you're talking about is not me, I don't want to have a romantic relationship with one person, let alone two!
Coop: Then why did you come back?
Monica: By chance, I didn't know you were my family, I just remember living here, so I wore a wig so I wouldn't be recognized. Only our satellites detected an explosion around your house, I was one of the people on duty. I wanted to investigate, but my colleagues protested, but finally they gave in, on the condition that I had to be very careful not to fall down, and that they wouldn't give me a completely free hand. Then in the evening I didn't wear the wig because I was checking on the spot and I suspected that the whole family was extraterrestrial, and I confess that I wanted to make you hostages in your houses.
Coop: You may be smarter than your colleagues, but you're also crazier.
Monica: I take that as a compliment. So that's why I'm here because I want to get the cat and I want to know everything about him. So now I'm really asking, what's his name?
Coop: Mr. Kat, he's real name Agent 27B.
Monica: Mr. Kat. How creative. If I have a parrot, I will name it Mr. Parrot.-Dennis started to laugh. Coop gave him a piercing look.
Dennis: Mr. Parrot, that's good!
Monica: How did you get this cat?
Coop: Dad and Millie and I played baseball. I irritated Millie a bit during the game because I didn't want to throw the ball to her. When I threw the ball to her, she threw it back very forcefully and it landed in the bush. I went to get it and that's when I found Mr. Kat. But I didn't bring him, but he attacked me, even then. I ran out of the bush, Millie wanted to see what I met there and she brought her out. And since he didn't get the owner, we kept him.
Monica: And your dad just left it like that?
Coop: Well...Millie started a tantrum, therefore dad was forced to agree and as I said, he didn't get his owner.-Coop and Dennis told her quite a lot, the vet examination, when he found out what Mr. Kat really was. The meeting with Fiona, also when they were kidnapped by the agents. It was almost as if Coop's mother had returned from a long trip, and as if she hadn't cheated on his father and never left them. They even laughed together at some stories. The ice between them broke so much that they talked like mother and son. Monica began to like the two boys, especially Coop, since he's her son. They also recounted when they were abducted by the agents. Although Monica was familiar with this story because she had heard and seen the recordings, she had no idea at the time that it was about her family. But he heard something new from him anyway.
Monica: What, they seriously wanted to do an autopsy? But an X-ray would have been enough!
Coop: That's what I told them too.
Monica: And I have to go through this every day since I was transferred.
Coop: Then why don't you leave it there?
Monica: And where would I go anyway, kid? Back to your father, who I may have cheated on, thinks I'm dead, and won't tell my kids anything about me?
Dennis: If it lasts 7 years, then you can come to me.-Monica laughed, and Dennis looked awkwardly.-Did I said this loud?
Coop: Yes, but I already told you Dennis, don't even dream about it!
Monica: Well kid, I might have gotten along better with your little friend if he was at least 20 years older.
Coop: Dad isn't that bad either.
Dennis: Or you could go abroad and start a new life.
Monica: How old were you and your sister when I "died"? I know it was 8 years ago because I've been working on it ever since.
Coop: I was 3, Millie was 1.
Monica: Then you don't have many memories of me either. If I'm not actually dead, I've probably already been declared dead. Which would make my return difficult in the first place. Especially since I'm afraid I won't be able to stop myself from hunting aliens and end up in an asylum. I have no memories, but for some reason it feels like I've been doing this my whole life. That way I can at least search for aliens without any consequences if they look crazy. I also thought you were aliens based on recordings, and because of your sister's screams and your dad's strange movements... I can't believe that man was my husband!
Coop: If that's any consolation, he used to be cooler, so there's nothing wrong with your taste.
Monica: It's not about coolness, it's about, sorry to say this, but your father is an idiot.
Dennis: I have to agree with your mom.
Coop: Because you didn't think he's on the same intellectual level as you, you wouldn't have had to cheat on him, you could have divorced peacefully, and maybe we could have stayed with you.
Monica: You're right, that's why I don't understand this whole cheating, abandonment story, nor how I got together with him at all. If I hadn't seen the old pictures, I'd still think you're mistake me with someone else. Well, that's the distant past, but I'm curious about the more recent past.
Coop and Dennis continued the story. They told about the time travel, which means that mostly only Coop experienced it. Monica was most shocked by this story, so much so when it turned out that she had a family. They told him about Mr. Kat's secret hiding place in the scraper. Then they moved on to the day Monica was most curious about. About the invasion attempt. That they found a bunch of weapons in a building Then they got to the part where they met the big cat robots and that they couldn't do anything but start poking the robot with a stick.
Monica: That was the stupidest and most useless thing you could have done.
Dennis: We didn't know what to do, I didn't have a plan either.
Monica: You should have bought the Mr. Kat doll from Millie and you should have run with it to the lake and lured it into the water.
Coop: Yeah, we didn't think of that. Anyway, it was all useless. That's when they kidnapped me, Dennis, Fiona and the other two guys. Did you talk to them anyway?
Monica: I talked, but they couldn't provide any useful information either, even though they were there with you, it's interesting.
Coop: I'll tell you this at the end of the story. Then with the help of Mr. Kat's girlfriend, we managed to escape, but I pushed Kat out of the spaceship. They just sent him back here, he must have been given another chance.
Monica: Wait! So now does Millie know what Mr. Kat really is or not?
Coop: No, but when she knew she didn't really care, she said that at least it made him special. So we got home, not long after Mr. Kat came in a separate spaceship and took out a gun. We started fighting with him and Dennis and Fiona. He erased Lorne's Harley and Millie's memories, and finally Fiona's. -Coop said sadly. Monica was touched in a strange way. Feelings came to her that she had not felt before, maybe even though her memories were gone, motherly love was still able to awaken her?-and since then she hangs out with me less, she thinks I'm a cat abuser.
Monica: That's her problem. You're only 11, a kid, and love is just a chemical reaction. Although I haven't known you for a long time, I can see that you're a good guy, I think you'll easily find another girl, if you can't get her to regain her memories.
Coop: Couldn't you restore her memory?
Monica: I'll see what I can do, but it's not the main priority right now. Love is fade away, but there will always be aliens. But even if it can't be restored, I don't think anything is lost, there are girls who fall for bad boys, especially at such a young age.
Coop: You know, I thought it would all be over, finally more people believed me, then everything went back to the old way, that is, not completely, because Fiona doesn't remember anything, and you came, who also doesn't remember anything, only you lost more than 30 years memories. And honestly, I'm starting to get tired of nobody believing me, of dad always punishing me when I'm just trying to save the world.
Monica: This is similar to Casandra's story. She was a Trojan priestess who was gifted by the god Apollo with the ability to see the future, but no one believed what she said. She also foresaw the fall of Troy. This ability was both a blessing and a curse for her. Just like you guys, but at least you see things that no one else can. There are many alien pets, and the worst part is that most people don't even realize it.
Dennis: So it's not just cats who want to invade the planet?
Monica: I don't know if someone is just doing research, but I've already brought many aliens from homes and replaced them with earthly ones. The only problem is that I wouldn't be able to replace the purple rat, because I wouldn't be able to find such a purple, frog-eyed cat anywhere. I'm still figuring out what to do guys. Thank you for telling me this.
Dennis: We thank you for listening.-they climbed down from the wooden house, but when all three of them landed on the ground, they heard a similar voice.
Fiona: Hello guys, are you coming to play soccer?-then she saw the black-haired woman with Coop and Dennis, she looked familiar for her, she looked like the little girl her aunt showed her a photo of.-Coop, who is this woman? Is she your mom?
