“Connor! You had a nice nap?”
“Yep! Swimming got me really tired, but I’m well rested now.”
“Did you have a good practice?”
“Yup. Aiden’s on the team, so we weren’t all strangers. Our captain’s really cool. He’s won, like, a million trophies for swimming!”
“That’s pretty amazing. Promise me you won’t be pushing yourself too hard.”
“I promise.”
“Oh, especially with Charlie’s birthday coming up. I’d like for all of us to be awake and energized then.”
“Oh, I know I’ll be! Charlie, you’re gonna love the present I got you!”
“Are you gonna do all my homework?”
“Hey! That’s a great idea! I should run to do more of my SSAT study guide so I don’t have to do it on your birthday! Thanks Charlie!”
“Connor, you didn’t finish…”
“Hey, let’s not worry too much. He cares about his education. That’s good, isn’t it? I’m sure he’ll get back on track once these tests slow down… whenever that is.”
“So is Connor coming inside any time soon?”
“Nope! He wants to swim. Are you sure he’s quarter alien and not quarter merman?”
“Yes, I’m sure.”
“Soooo… can I have his pancakes?”
“Well, I guess we can’t put them to waste. Besides, Teddy’s getting fat, anyway, he doesn’t need any more people food.”
“Yay!”
“This should be a good dive to show on my first day huh?”
“Practicing, practicing…”
“Connor! Dad made breakfast! It’s pancakes!”
“Charlie, I’m right here. No need to shout.”
“So are you coming?”
“Nah, I’ll grab something before practice.”
“Oh well, more for me!”
“Hey, Celeste~! Where’d I go?”
“Dere! Dere!”
“Tummy rubs for Teddyyyy~”
“You know, I never thought a family like this was possible until we started ours.”
“Mmhm. I’ll be a little sad when Connor starts college.”
“Thank goodness for junior year!”
“Who’s a good boooyy?”
“Who is? Tell me! Tell me!”
“Who’s a good booooyyyy?”
“Pls tell me! I am but a smol doggo”
“Teddy’s a good boy!”
“It’s me! It’s me! I’m the good boy!”
THIS NEEDS TO END
CEASE AND DESIST
“Thanks for coming over. You know best about this stuff, after all.”
“Oh, you flatter too much. Now where’s our purple young man?”
“That’s me! Am I a real live alien yet?”
“A-ha-ha!”
“What’s so funny, Grandpa?”
“Jill, you called me just for this?”
“What are you talking about?”
“If you had said periwinkle-lavender and glitter I’d have answered you more easily! Your son’s fine!”
“What are you talking about? He’s got purple on his face!”
“I’m sure that must have been shocking, yes, but back home in Sixam, this is as common as they come! It’s just a case of… Oh darn, I can’t remember what the word back home was, but it translates literally to ‘periwinkle.’”
“’Periwinkle?’”
“A childhood illness of sorts. It’s not contagious and only affects aliens. Probably was attached to a spaceship and ended up here. He might be a little sluggish for a while, but it’s summer vacation and he can certainly afford an extra nap or two, right?”
“So… will he be purple forever?”
“No, no. Although back when I was a child, there was a fad where colony drones actively tried keeping the purple on, but it never quite worked out. It should be gone in a few days, maybe even sooner since the bug had to have come a long way to get here. Just don’t panic, okay?”
“Oh, thank the watcher!”
Charlie: “Aw, but I wanna be purple forever!”
“Mom! Look at me! I finally look like an alien!”
“Well, I don’t remember any purple being part of the alien color scheme.”
“Then how’d I get purple?”
“I’ll… have to ask your grandpa.”
“It’s not fair! No one’s gonna know I’m an alien!”
“Charlie, remember what grandma said will happen if you keep making faces?”
“It’ll freeze that way…”
“Let’s not have that happen, then. What seems to be the problem?”
“Connor’s got green freckles and I don’t! If I don’t look like an alien, who will believe me?”
“Hey, kiddo, you can express being an alien in different ways, you know. Like I use makeup and my favorite t-shirt.”
“But I wanna look like an alien for real! And makeup’s too girly!”
“Hm. You are just under ten, after all. Maybe some alien features might come in when you get a little older.”
“Can that really happen?”
“I think so.”
“I can’t wait to get older, then!”
