“Hey, I was thinking a lot about what I said this morning, and I wanted to apologize. I shouldn’t have said those things, and I’m really sorry.”

“Aw, dad…”

“This isn’t an excuse or anything, but… what was going through my head when I said those things were, well, things my father had told me. To tell the truth, he was kinda off his rocker when it came to aliens.”

“Hehe.”

“Yeah. When he told me and your uncles about alien abductions, I had a hard time sleeping for weeks. I thought I grew out of that fear over time, but I guess that kinda sticks behind.”

“Yeah, mom told me grandpa thought some crazy things.”

“Uh-huh.”

“But you know what? I don’t think you’re crazy.”

“That’s… good to know.”

“And even if you were, I still love you, Dad.”

“I love you, too, sweetheart.”

“Hey, Cadette, I wanted to apologize for what happened at breakfast this morning. Your father and I had a talk and–”

“Yeah, I heard you yelling upstairs.”

“Well, we weren’t exactly… okay, maybe we raised our voices a little… a lot louder than we should have. But that’s why your father is cooling down right now and I’m here with you. I figured you could maybe use someone to talk to.”

“I just want to know why.”

“Why what?”

“Why dad thought that about me. Why he thought I’d somehow be different.”

“Well, your father is what you might call… misinformed. That doesn’t excuse what he said. You know that, I know that, and I truly believe he knows that, too. See, from what I gather, he thinks a lot of things; a lot of silly things that are untrue or exaggerated. Those things led him to believe that saying what he said earlier was going to help you.”

“But it didn’t!”

“I’m sure he’s coming to that conclusion now, hon. He’s probably learned a lot from your grandfather, who probably could have said… a lot worse.”

“But where’d grandpa get those ideas? Where did they start?”

“Unfortunately, this sort of thing has no easy answer. Maybe it’s Sim nature to dislike anything different, but you know what’s important?”

“What?”

“Is that I know, one hundred percent, that your father loves you. He loves you so much, he hates the thought of hurting you. And that’s why when he cools down, I’m sure he’ll have come around.”

“Thanks, mom. I love you and dad a lot.”

“We love you, too, hon. Please don’t ever forget that.”

“Hey, I heard your cousin Connor is on the local swim team now!”

“Yeah, but lately he’s been looking really stressed out. I don’t think he’s fit for any athletics right now.”

“Hey, uh, maybe if you need someone to take his place, I could?”

“Cadette, sweetheart, you’re not serious, are you?”

“Dad, times have changed. You can’t discriminate against girls in sports! Heck, even if you could, Cadette doesn’t even really act girly.”

“… See?”

“No, it’s just… her parts are… different.”

“So this is about me being a girl?”

“No, it’s just… You’re green!”

“Tank, honey…”

“Wait, what? Because I’m an alien?”

“Woah, dad! You can’t just say that!”

“I’m done. I’m… leaving.”

Cadette grew into a typical sleepy/lazy teenager! Still loving milk & cookies and penguins drinking hot cocoa. 

She’s a Knowledge sim determined to someday make a pilgrimage to Sixam to meet her biological father. It’s hard being the only abduction-conceived alien in town. Maybe we should change that soon? >:3
