#Skye Terrano

Household 24 - Europa and Gemini host a party

As Aliens believe community is very important, hosting parties is a regular event in each Alien household.

"Not too many of the Desert Valley Aliens," Lysander commented as he arrived.

"No. We'll try again. But Belinda is here!"

Belinda was chatting with Skye, the head of the community. Everyone knew Belinda was struggling the most with Athena's passing. Europa missed her sibling dearly, but loss was not so unfamiliar for Aliens.

Indeed, a few Alien-friendly Sims were in attendance as well as Belinda, including Justin Davis who was the father of twin Aliens from an abduction, and Pilar Lopez, who was a friend of Belinda's.

Everyone was having a great time. Helo trounced Aaricia playing video games and was ready for the next challenger.

"I'm up for the challenge," Caelum called from the kitchen.

"Can I play?" Hathor asked.

"Soon, but I think Ares wanted a turn too," Lysander told his niece. "Where did he get to?"

"Hathor can play next. Ares went to bed," Help told his uncle.

"To bed? But it isn't even my bedtime!" Hathor was very surprised.

Meanwhile, Europa was making a great effort as host to make Ronan feel comfortable... and perhaps wasn't really paying attention to the rest of the guests.

Spring - Days 4-7 - Household 15: Cory & Christy Gonzaga, Ash Gonzaga

When we first met Cory and Christy, we were charmed by their adorable wholesomeness. They adore each other. They welcomed their first son, Ash, who is super cute. They took care of their dog, Maxx. 

But the charm soured a bit when their position visa vie Aliens was not acceptable. Still, things could be worse. They could be aware of whatever Robbie, Cory’s son from his first marriage to Mary Anne City, is plotting.

Regardless, Christy is delighted to be a mother and is happy to cuddle her son, Ash, whenever she gets the chance. She wishes she could stay home more often, but changing the world doesn’t just happen - she’ll need to advance in her political career to make Huntsville safe from Aliens again.

Cory is far more focused on his career in Show Business. Somehow, his viewpoint on Aliens is making it harder for him to find roles and people willing to work with him. And he’s not getting younger, so it’s important he stays fit.

He does still make time for his son. He changes diapers and shares all domestic responsibilities. After all, he is a modern husband.

Maxx is a very happy dog. He loves his family and thinks they can no wrong.

Others, however, don’t share Maxx’s opinion.

Skye Terrano, while typically trying to rise above this sort of petty behaviour, has been spotted once or twice outside the Gonzagas’ door.

She takes issue with the Gonzagas subscription to Simterra Forever, an Anti-Alien paper, and often takes the issues.

Astra was an adult now. She and Skye would have to figure out what that meant in terms of their living situation.

Kaylynn, the maid they hired, was not impressed with the state of their home. She kept exclaiming at every speck of dust and mumbling about how badly the place needed a deep clean.

“You did very well to hire me, Ms. Skye, Ms. Astra. This home needs professional help. I am very glad to be here.” Kaylynn truly didn’t believe that it was people who were messy, but houses that couldn’t take care of themselves. And she liked taking care of those houses.

Kaylynn was a particular fan of Ronroneo, and other cats.

“Who is the sweetest boy who has kept this house rodent free? You are!” she pronounced as she cuddled him.

Ronan and Barish dropped by for another visit. Ronan was fascinated by the comfort with which Skye and the other Huntsville Aliens interacted with Humans. Barish was now their leader, but he had had to prove himself and was perhaps the only Human Ronan had ever trusted.

“Aren’t you hungry, Ronan?” Barish called.

“Have you seen this documentary?” Ronan responded, ignoring the question, “It’s about the Huntsville Anti-Alien Act.”

“I haven’t,” said Barish, “That was the law that essentially made Aliens here into criminals?”

“That’s right,” Skye said. She had hated that law.

“Humans in Huntsville protested until the Anti-Alien Act was reversed,” he said to Barish in amazement. The Humans in  Desert Valley were more than happy to see Aliens segregated from them. “It barely lasted 6 months.”

“It did still happen,” Skye reminded them as she packed up some food for Ronan to take with them. He and Barish could not stay too late that night.

“It does show, though, that having allies among the Humans will make us all safer,” Barish told his friend.

“Thank you for having us, Skye,” Barish held her hand gently. He had not yet told Ronan or the others about his feelings for Skye.

“You are always welcome.” Skye said it to both of them, but gave Barish a wink that implied he was especially welcome.

“Barish is a good man,” Astra said.

“Oh?” Skye should not have been surprised that her daughter had noticed the connection growing between them.

“Daniel was a good man. And Barish is a good man.” It was high praise indeed from her daughter.

“Is there a good man that you want to spend time with?” Skye asked.

“Hmmm.” Astra thought about the question for longer than Skye had expected. “Not yet.” was the long awaited answer.

As Skye relaxed in her bed before sleeping, Ronroneo dreaming at her feet, she felt so much hope. Yes, she had entered her twilight years, if you considered 54 twilight years...which as an Alien she supposed she had to...but the community was growing. They were able to vote! She had never voted before. And she had a crush!!! Which was a pretty silly thing for an old woman to be excited about, but she was none the less.

Peaceful, she grabbed the most recent novel she had borrowed from the library.

And thus we come to the end of Spring - Days 4-7 for Skye, Astra and Ronroneo.

#Huntsville Revived #the sims 2 #ts2 #sims2 #Household 3 #Skye Terrano #Ronan Kaye #Astra Terrano #Ronroneo the Cat #kaylynn langerak #The Anti-Alien Act was passed by Anti-Alien jerks who had gained power quickly #They tried to make a lot of harsh changes in Huntsville very quickly including passing this law #It made so many people angry that the protests saw the law reversed within 6 months #It also forced an early election which was won by Mayor Hogan who is Alien-Friendly

Huntsville Revived #327

Between being the leader of the Alien Community and helping the refugees get settled, Skye found herself to be very busy. She also had to ensure that she continued to be a voice for Aliens at large, her paying job, even if it often got tagged with the title of “Cult leader” by those who cared little for Aliens.

An important meeting called her away, unfortunately, on Astra’s birthday. But when they send a helicopter to take you, it’s not something you can easily miss.

Astra didn’t mind too much. She spent the evening out with friends, and then celebrated her transition to adulthood once she got home.

It wasn’t the easiest of transitions. She was very sad that Terren and Caelum had gone off to university and left her behind. 

Ronroneo was there to celebrate with her, and to approve of the haircut she gave herself.

The transition hadn’t improved Astra’s prioritization of hygiene...

or changed her habit of sleeping on the couch more often than her own bed.

When Skye got home, she could only shake her head and make a small effort to tidy. Laundry on the lawn, the garbage knocked over by some Anti-Alien jerk, this was why she had hired help! But the maid didn’t come in the middle of the night, so she did some work herself.

She was too tired to deal with her own laundry by the time she was able to climb into bed.

Huntsville Revived #326

While getting to know the new Aliens was a big priority, Skye wasn’t going to let those who had lived her for so long feel neglected. She threw a small gathering.

“Hello Lysander, I thought I would check in with you. What are your thoughts on inviting Peter? [...] So you think I should invite him and not Aphrodite? [...] Well, I’ll let her know, since she’s got plans anyway. Thanks.” Peter’s romancing of the two sisters continued to be the biggest source of drama for the community.

Aaricia and Lysander, the newly weds, were pretty much still on their honeymoon. And Sorren and Lauren couldn’t keep their hands off each other for 5 minutes. Skye wondered when her brother would get around to proposing.

“Sometimes I think we need to respond as we would to a fire alarm, and dump a bucket of water on both their heads,” Europa joked.

“On Aaricia and Lysander, or on Sorren and Lauren?” Charlotte wondered.

“Athena would have been over the moon to be able to vote.” Belinda had been in as much shock as the rest of the Alien community when that had happened.

“It will keep Mayor Hogan in power. There are enough of us resident here to counter the dwindling population of Anti-Alien jerks,” Lauren pointed out. She was pleased, but would not ignore the reasoning behind the choice was as much about what was right as what was politically expedient.

“It opens to doors for us to be able to run. Can you imagine, an Alien mayor?” Sorren asked.

“Maybe one day,” Lauren replied wistfully.

“I’m so glad you dropped by, Belinda. Are you sure you don’t want to stay?”

“No. It’s still harder than I can manage for long. Surrounded by all of you, I keep expecting Athena to walk in from the other room and then I remember that they are gone.” Belinda wasn’t crying herself to sleep anymore, but the grief was still very deep.

“If there’s anything we can do, you let us know. You are one of us,” Skye reminded her as she headed out.

“Should we ban these sorts of movies?” Charlotte asked Europa and Aaricia as a trailer for some Alien invasion movie appeared. “They can only fuel the fear that some people have for Aliens.”

“Definitely. Appropriate representation matters, and all anyone sees on TV are that Aliens will come down in their spaceships and attack. No one has ever seen a single spaceship, although they must exist to abduct people.” Europa hated the misinformation that left most people completely confused about what being an Alien meant and how they arrived on Simterra.

“Maybe once we find the new Sixam, people will become better informed,” Aaricia mused while she played with RonRoneo.

“Can we please not start about New Sixam again,” Skye said with frustration.

“Not all of us are Simterran lovers, Skye.”

“What’s that suppose to mean?”

“If I had the opportunity to live on a planet dominated by Aliens, I would do it,” Aaricia replied.

“What makes you think that New Sixam would be dominated by Aliens, and not by Humans as well? Sixam might well be, but who knows what a New Sixam would be like.”

Skye and Aaricia’s argument was quickly and suddenly de-escalated by the rather wet sound of kissing.

The two looked at each other, and burst out laughing before Aaricia cupped her hands and called to Peter and Gemini “Get a room!”

“I apologize, Aaricia, I am not against a New Sixam. I just worry it sounds like a promised land with all our problems solved, and that just won’t be reality.”

Aaricia took her point. “I do like Simterra. And I like Simterrans. It would be nice, though, to not be the ones considered “Other.”

Peter and Gemini, meanwhile, did take their advince. The room they found was the bathroom, but that didn’t stop them from making out.

“Did you two escape the argument in here?” Lysander asked when he found Charlotte and Europa hanging out in the bedroom.

“Yes, Charlotte was just telling me that Aliens are not only qualified to go to University now, but also to private school.” 

“Sit with us,” Charlotte beckoned.

“These are important changes. With better educations, it will mean Aliens can’t be excluded from jobs as they have been.” Charlotte was already working with the Mayor to implement new changes. She would have to wait until Summer for the next election to run for a seat herself.

“It’s like we are back to what things were like 30 or 40 years ago. What’s to stop a backswing?” Europa asked.

“We are,” Lysander replied, “There are more of us now, and we know who our allies are. We have to keep pushing. Even if it’s exhausting.”

Charlotte said nothing. She would keep pushing, but she also understood that she did have the privilege of being able to stop if she wanted to. Lysander and Europa would push because they had the heart, but also because they had no other choice.

Huntsville Revived #325

The house felt a bit empty when it wasn’t filled with visitors, with Caelum and Terren off at school. 

Astra slept strange hours, and often on the couch. Skye had no idea that her daughter frequently came into her bedroom in the middle of the night.

“You are our North Star,” Astra whispered to her mother.

Skye was a deep sleeper, and was not disturbed by Astra playing with Ronroneo.

“Whose a precious kitty!” Astra loved playing with their cat, and was always careful of him.

“Can you catch this? Keep trying. Where are your killer instincts?”

Astra made friends easily, despite her strangeness, when she wasn’t picking fights.

“OMG Astra, you are too funny. I can’t wait to tell Castor what you said!” Marsha laughed uncontrollably.

But, for her qualities, Astra did forget about mundane things and had misplaced some of the bills. Skye was quite annoyed when the Repo Man showed up to take what was owed.

She was particularly annoyed that he targeted items in her bedroom.

Particularly her brand-new laundry hamper!

It added to her frustration to find Ronroneo making a nest in a pile of dirty laundry that was now simply kicked into a corner in the bathroom. Skye recognized they needed some help, and called a maid cleaning service.

Huntsville Revived #324

While Skye’s standing invitation was for all the newly-arrived Aliens, it was Barish who came over the most frequently.

“Is everyone else settling in all right?” Aaricia asked him, “They are welcome here too, you know.”

“They know. They are still uncertain. Like all of this might be snatched away any moment.” Barish, too feared that, and by the expression on Aaricia’s face, he could tell that the thought had crossed her mind regarding her own situation more than once.

“My brother, Matthew Hunt, he’s the Law in Huntsville Region. And Mayor Hogan has just granted all Aliens in Huntsville the right to vote. Which means your people can help keep her in power so she can continue to do right by us.” Aaricia would never forget what it meant to be an Alien, both the good and the bad.

“Am I looking old, Lysander?” Skye asked, feeling more annoyed by it then she wanted to be.

“You’re an elder. You look wise and important.” He narrowed his eyes, “You haven’t fretted about your looks in a long time. What’s going on?”

“Nothing. I just celebrated my birthday, that’s all.”

Lysander didn’t quite believe her.

“What tips do you have for a fellow whose just crash-landed in your backyard?” Barish asked Lysander with just enough of a smile to sell the joke.

“What kinds of tips are you looking for?” Lysander left an opening for whatever Barish was hinting at. 

“Well, take that photo over there. That’s Skye and a Human, right? Is he Astra’s father?”

“No. Astra’s father is a piece of shit who hates us. Skye thought...well, he wasn’t who she thought he was. He was pretty horrified when she got pregnant, since it’s so uncommon. And then there were triplets.”

“She’s their birth mother? But the guy, who’s he? A boyfriend?” Barish was understandably confused. The Alien women he had known chose Alien partners or no partners at all.

“Daniel was the love of her life. He died, an illness. He loved her, and her children.” Lysander didn’t mention that his illness had been used against them, an implication that loving an Alien brought a healthy young man down.

But Barish seemed to have other thoughts on his mind.

“Does it matter if old Sixam existed or exists? Finding a new Sixam makes more sense anyway,” Apollo tried to reason with the older Aliens at the table.

Skye and Aaricia could well take his point, but they didn’t want to. They had never had real hope of finding Sixam, but Astra and Apollo believed they could find a peaceful new planet perfect for habitation? 

“Apollo, you and Astra can talk about this later.” Aaricia’s tone ensured that they changed topics of conversation.

While Astra didn’t put much effort towards her own hygiene or appearance (note that she is still in her pajamas), she was very cleanly. She would wash up the dishes unprompted after every meal.

If asked, she would say “Death by flies is an ugly way to go.” Most people did not ask her more than once.

“Oof” Aricia moaned as she caught Lysander in a hug. She could catch him, but just barely. “You want to get out of here?”

“Yeah, let’s head out. Thanks for dinner, Skye!”

“Are you coming, Apollo?” Aaricia asked.

“No, I want to stay and hang out with Astra.”

So Aaricia and Lysander said their good byes  and were on their way.

“Is everyone starting to get settled in?” Skye asked. She knew, as the leader of her community, that Barish’s frequent visits were due to his being the leader of his. She didn’t let herself consider other options.

Barish considered the question. “We’re definitely set up in the apartment until we figure out next steps.” The eight who had come were currently all under one roof, but compared to their previous home, it felt quite comfortable. “The children seem fine, they can adjust so fast. The teens, I think they really want to believe they can trust this. Sisko too. I worry about Ronan.”

“He doesn’t trust Humans, I noticed,” Skye said, “And I can understand that, generally. He does trust you though.”

“His partner died giving birth. The baby died too. They refused any medical aid. I did what I could, but I’m a scientist, not a doctor. It’s been 3 years, but some things don’t heal.”

“I understand that you were the one who gave birth to your triplets? That you were able to conceive?” Barish hoped it wasn’t too impolite to ask.

“Yes, I did. And I lived, as did they, although I lost my uterus.” She didn’t mind sharing with this man who clearly understood how complicated it was for Aliens to give birth, but also how normal it was for it to be hard.

“It’s no wonder you are the leader here, you are absolutely incredible.”

Barish took Skye’s hand. His hand was gentle, hesitant. She could have pulled away if she had wanted to. But she did not want to.

Barish made her feel important in a way she had not in a long time. Important as a woman to a man who had desires. Important as an individual. That what she did could transform the universe for one other person and for herself, when she was so used to acting for a collective.

It felt good.

Huntsville Revived #323

Skye’s birthday party had been the start of the Alien refugees becoming part of the community of the Aliens of Nickelton. It had been fun for all involved.

Even Astra, after she had completed her homework, enjoyed a flirt with a Human school friend she had invited to join them

None of the new Aliens had talked to her long enough to notice her strangeness, but they had been surprised that no one remarked upon her connecting with this young man, who was not considered part of the community by any of them.

Astra’s actions was her own. She had her reasons for doing what she did, and explained the only when she felt like it. Skye wasn’t sure why she often found her daughter napping on the couch instead of asleep in bed, but she was old enough to make her own decisions.

Ronroneo didn’t mind where she slept, so long as she didn’t mind him chewing loudly at all hours.

Skye’s concerns about how her daughter might fair if living alone were only highlighted by Astra’s lack of self-care routine. When she did decide she needed to wash, it was common to happen in the kitchen regardless of whether anyone else was present.

“Spring it the time for new beginnings. Soon, we will see more ladybugs than you can count, but they will not all have spots,” Astra told her mother with a seriousness and sincerity that indicated there was more to that statement that was clear on the surface. Skye had no idea, however, what it meant.

For all that strangeness, Astra was a creature of joy and pleasure. She found delight in things that were real, like water puddles after the latest rain.

She also paid more attention to what other people were doing that they might feel comfortable with, although she claimed not to understand why such boundaries mattered.

Skye had enjoyed the company of the new refugees at her party. She issued an open invitation to drop by, which Barish Byzan was the first to accept.

“I was a scientist, in a lab. Biology, genetic manipulation. Trying to understand how genetics and disease are connected. One night, I was looking at the night sky through a telescope, when there was a brilliant flash of light. I only realized what had happened months later when I noticed I was pregnant.”

“A scientist? How wonderful. I love science.” Skye didn’t immediately drag him to her lab to show off, but it was tempting.

“Well, not anymore. Aliens, and their parents, can’t have jobs.”

“That was true in Desert Valley, but not here. We’ll talk to the relocation team to help find you a new position.”

Skye asked Barish to stay for dinner.

“Are you sure this isn’t a movie? I feel like we were told we were being relocated, which was terrifying, and then we ended up here, and it’s happily ever after. We can vote, we can get jobs, we can have homes.”

“You know, if you had lived in Huntsville Region, you would have always been able to have those things? But Constance would not have.” It was very strange to Skye to talk to a Human who thought of himself as an Alien.

Barish hadn’t forgotten what he was. He might not have fit into either world, but in Desert Valley, the guards had been willing to speak to him. It had quickly made him a leader in his new community. Skye was the leader in hers, but for different reasons.

“Speaking of movies, how long has it been since you’ve seen one? Perhaps we should arrange a movie night?” Skye offered.

“To go out and see a movie...without it being a criminal act. I think everyone would love that. Thank you, Skye.”

There was something about the way Barish said her name that made Skye blush as she had not done in some time.

A few weeks later, after the newly arrived Aliens had gotten settled, it was time for a celebration. They would celebrate the growing community, they would celebrate their right to vote, and they would celebrate Skye’s birthday.

“It’s time for the cake, everyone!” Lysander announced. The Desert Tech new residents gathered with the current ones to watch Skye blow out her candles.

Skye looked around her before she made the transition. Not everyone in the community was there, but it was a full house.

She noted her brother, Sorren, his love, Lauren, and her nephew, Castor. Europa and Lysander represented the rest of the Goldsun siblings. Charlotte wouldn’t have missed this party for the world. And the three adults who had just arrived from Desert Tech - Sisko Nerys with his bright purple hair, Ronan Kaye who had clear signs of mixed heritage, his skin a Human colour though his eyes and eye-markings clearly showed what he was, and Barish Byzan, the human father of an Alien child. 

Three years ago, stuck in that damned enclosure, Skye could not have imagined such a party. 

The joy, the cheers, the friendship that filled the room. Skye was ready to become an elder.

She blew out the candles, and began the transition.

She took a look at herself. “I don’t look so bad,” she thought. In fact, she looked pretty good.

Skye was excited to embark on this next stage in her life’s journey.

“This is an interesting crowd,” Ronan began. He hoped that the teenager might be more forthcoming to explain to him what was going on. “The woman in the blue tank top, she’s not an Alien.”

“No. Lauren is...something else. She was born human and then something happened to her. Scientists couldn’t figure it out, so she’s generally considered an Alien regardless.”

“She clearly belongs in this community. But what about the woman in black. What’s her connection?”

“Charlotte? She and Skye have been best friends since college.”

“College? So she’s just a Human?”

Castor actually laughed when he said that. “She is just a Human, but one that has been our friend. It’s people like her who reversed things in Hunstville when they started to get really bad.”

“Hi. I’m told your Charlotte, and a Human?” Ronan was the type to face confrontation head on. If this Human was considered welcome, he would assess the situation for himself.

“Hello. You’re Ronan, right? Oh, you might want to sit down...those two should get a room, but they probably won’t.” Charlotte’s smile was warm. Sorren and Lauren clearly heard her and paid the comment no mind. 

“What’s your Alien connection?” Ronan asked. The only Human he trusted was Barish Byzan, the birth father of an Alien baby.

“My husband’s brother was Skye’s father and an Alien. Two of his grandchildren are Aliens too. But I’m only recently married. Skye is my best friend. She’s my Alien connection.”

Ronan wasn’t sure what to make of that. It seemed awfully suspicious to him, but none of the Nickelton Aliens seemed to mind.

Meanwhile, Astra dragged Skye into her bedroom.

“How do I solve this math problem?” she demanded.

Astra was the only teenager Skye had ever met who would drag her mother out of her own birthday party to do math homework, but she helped her all the same.

“Do you mind if I ask, what were things like in Desert Valley?” Europa asked Barish. She found it interesting that the Alien refugees looked to him as their leader when he was a Human.

“When I realized I was pregnant, with an Alien child of course, I hid it. The moment it was discovered, I had to choose - my child or the life I had known until then. I chose Constance, and we ended up in a barracks with all the other Aliens of Desert Valley. I had never really understood how terribly Aliens were treated until then - I had never met one before, because they had been separated from us for so long. But this is not a conversation for a celebration.”

Europa wanted to urge Barish to continue but she knew better than to push him.

“It’s so nice to meet new people,” Sisko said to Charlotte, “A Human woman handing out at an Alien party. I haven’t seen such a thing for decades.”

“It’s quite the common site here,” Charlotte assured him. 

Skye’s birthday and the arrival of the refugees was quite the success.

Spring - Days 4-7 - Household 3: Skye and Astra Terrano

Since this household was first introduced 18 months ago, there have continued to be great improvements for the Alien Community.

Skye’s two sons, Terren and Caelum, are off at Ashford City University. The first Aliens in Huntsville Region to go to college since Skye and her brother Sorren were asked to leave when the Anti-Alien movement started to gain momentum.

 Aliens are being given the right to vote, and a group of Alien refugees from Desert Valley are being resettled in Nickelton.

Skye has already made drastic improvements on the house she was awarded as part of the Alien settlement. Her lab has a colour palette far more to her tastes.

Astra is coming to an end of her high school career. Skye is uncertain what will come next. Astra enjoys the schedule a predictability of high school. Is there an appropriate career for a gal who always has her head in the clouds?

“The refugees will be arriving soon. Their apartments are sorted. The donations we’ve received of furniture and clothes are in place. You’re coming to their welcome party the week after they arrive?” Skye asked Europa, who was considered her second in their community’s hierarchy.

“Absolutely. It’s your birthday, too, if I’m not mistaken.” Europa thought this timing was perfect. As bad as things were for Aliens in this part of Simterra, it was worse elsewhere. Becoming an Elder was a great celebration. “Have we found out anything further about them, beyond the list of names and ages?”

“Not yet.”

“You will learn their names when it is the proper time,” Astra chastised Europa.

The older woman hesitated. Her instinct was not to let anyone address her the way Astra just had, but Astra’s behaviour was not ruled by the same expectations as everyone else’s.

“I’ll keep that in mind,” she managed to reply without further provoking a fight.

“Do you think she’ll fight all the new Aliens, or just me?” Europa asked, tiredly, as she flopped on the couch.

“I don’t know. Do you think they’ll treat her with kindness and understanding?”

Europa took Skye’s point. She had known Astra since she was a child, and knew exactly the trauma that had made her the way she was. She suspected the Desert Valley Aliens would have their share of trauma. Did that mean they would understand Astra better than most, or have less patience for her?

“In Huntsville Region, when things go to their worst point, we were treated like criminals. Arrested and imprisoned; being an Alien was a crime.” Europa had hated every moment of it. “Still, we were treated no worse than criminals, either.”

“No trails? No hope of parole? Europa, I may never be as happy again as the day they launched those rockets to destroy the prisons that we were forced into.”

“Skye. I’m not suggesting what they did to us was right. I know how much we suffered. What I mean is, I suspect the Desert Valley Aliens had it much worse than we did. I can’t find any information about where they were kept or what was done to them.”

“We will have to be patient, and help make them feel part of this community. They are Huntsville Aliens, like us, from now on,” Skye said with a certainty that reminded Europa exactly why the Aliens of Huntsville Region followed this woman.

Astra and Skye were frequent visitors of the Davis household. And dancing was a favourite activity.

"Let me teach you the latest moves from Ashford City University. Karla taught me on her last visit.”

"I don’t think I was this coordinated at University, and I’m not this coordinated now.” Skye tried to copy her friend’s moves, but she was not an renown dancer.

"You are plenty coordinated! But you might want to practice those moves before showing anyone else,” Charlotte acknowledged.

Astra was not interested in learning the dance moves from a university she would not attend. Charlotte tried to distract her.

“Astra, I’ve been meaning to ask, do you think Aliens should embrace Simterra as their homes or keep looking for Sixam?” she asked.

"Sixam is gone.” Astra was emotionless as she responded. “But the sun is too bright on Simterra.” 

"Astra!” Skye cried, shocked and annoyed, “Where do you get such ideas? No one knows where Sixam is. You don’t know that it is gone.”

"Sixam was there, before, and now it is not.” Astra’s calm only served to upset her mother more. “Simterra is here now, but is not the new Sixam.”

“New Sixam? Is this your idea, or have Mars and Apollo been going on about finding a new planet again.” Skye had been glad that Astra had spent more time with the other teen Aliens in town, but now she wondered who had been giving whom these bad ideas.

"New Sixam will be found, Mother. It will clear the storm.”

As Skye and her daughter argued about the existence of Sixam, Jordan returned home. 

"Jordan! You’re a scientist.” Skye appealed to the new arrival. “Do you think Sixam exists?”

“Well certainly, Aliens came from somewhere,” Jordan responded diplomatically.

Neither Astra nor Skye could argue with that, and Charlotte then managed to steer the conversation back to less stormy topics.

"Do Astra and Skye fight often?” Jordan asked as he and Charlotte settled down to sleep.

"Only about Sixam. It’s very controversial, as older Aliens believe a homeworld exists where they could one day learn of their origin, but a new theory is emerging that Sixam was destroyed and that’s why Aliens came here. Either way, they don’t truly consider Simterra home.”

"They may not be wrong. You and Skye are the same age, but she looks a lot older. When Seth died, he too looked a lot older that he was in years.” Jordan had known Skye’s father well - he was, after all, his own brother. “Perhaps Alien Physiology is affected differently by the planet.”

“Perhaps.” Charlotte did not dismiss her husband’s theory, but she also knew they needed their sleep. And there was no easy way to explore that theory anyhow.

While Jordan went out on an excursion with his grandson, Jason, Charlotte invited her best friend, Skye, and Skye’s daughter, Astra, for a visit.

"How’s retirement suiting you?” Skye’s tone implied that retirement did not particularly suite Charlotte, and she wasn’t wrong.

"Arya is keeping my hands full for now,” she replied truthfully, “Do you think you’ll ever retire?”

"Even if I can find someone else to fill my paying job, it’s unlikely I’ll stop being a leader to my community, even if a stop being the leader.” Not that Skye minded being the leader, especially now they real improvements were being made.

Arya crawled out to meet their guests.

“Bottle, ‘un’ Skye, Bottle!”

“I guess she knows exactly who’s going to get her what she wants, huh?” Skye commented. “I’ll go in a grab you a snack, shall I?”

"I’d like a snack too,” Astra said. She too usually got what she wanted.

"Come inside. We can all eat something.” Charlotte brought them inside.

Once Skye had given Arya a snack and she had been put down for a nap, she sat down with Astra and Charlotte for a meal.

Charlotte was making a good effort to make conversation with Astra, which was not an easy task. 

"So, Astra,” Charlotte began as she moved the conversation away from the weather, “Have you considered following in your mother’s footsteps? Are you interested in the paranormal?”

"Not until the great storm has come and passed, but then I may take up my mother’s mantle.”

Those who were not familiar with Astra might have been caught off guard by the cryptic statement, but Charlotte had known the girl all her life - before and after the mental break. She carried on with the conversation, treating the comment with respect.

“Oh dear. I hope, um, I hope you will find a good port in which to weather out the storm.”

“I will.” 

Arya then began to cry from the other room, having only needed a short nap. Astra excused herself to go dote on the baby.

“She’s still disappointed that Caelum and Terren went to university without her, but only because she misses them so. I don’t know that she would have attended a single class if she had gone.” Skye looked sadly after her daughter.

"Do you think she’ll ever move out or live on her own?” Charlotte asked.

“Honestly, no. One of her brothers will always have to look out for her. But she is so strong and capable in her own way. And she knows her own mind. She would simply never buy groceries, or pay her bills.”

“We all need a little extra help in one way or another.

"She’s something special. Daniel would be proud of her.”

Charlotte knew that Skye would never get over the loss of Daniel, as she would never get over the loss of Ryan, but always hoped for her friend that she would again find a man who would be her partner in all things, as Charlotte had found in Jordan.

“ Now Jason, when you cast off, just let it fly, then reel it back in to a reasonable distance, and then you wait,” Jordan explained, again.

“So that’s the trick to it? I always found it a bit puzzling.” For once, Jason didn’t reel the line back in too quickly.

“Seems like this is a very popular fishing location, Grandpa.”

“It used to be good fishing location, but there are many too many people. Might explain why that guy caught a boot,” the man next to Jason said. He definitely sounded grumpy about it.

“Wait, I think I’m feeling something pulling.” Jason had never caught anything before in his life and was very hopeful.

“Give a quick tug, and then reel it in gently,” Jordan advised.

"Look, Grandpa, I caught a fish!”

"Good for you, Jason, so did I!”

The man beside Jason was both impressed and annoyed. "Definitely going to come back for some night fishing when there aren’t so many people around.”

"I’m proud of you, Jason. You are quite the angler.”

"Thanks, Grandpa. Thanks for teaching me to take care of my rod. I’ll remember, it’s not a toy.”

Aaricia and Lysander’s wedding was the event of the season for all invited.

Skye - This is such a beautiful event. It’s such a shame Athena is not here with us.

Sorren - And Belinda too. Coming today would have been too hard for her, but her absence is really clear.

Lysander - So, you and Peter, kissing here for all to see?

Aphrodite - What of it?

Lysander - Nothing, I guess? Look, the food’s being served. Let’s focus on the dinner.

As Aphrodite and Peter joined Gemini and Sorren at the table, Lysander was pleased to see that his sisters seemed to be pleasant enough to each other. Whatever was going on with them and Peter made no sense to him, but he just wanted them to be happy.

Meanwhile, Skye did a quick-change after realizing she and Europa had been wearing the same outfit, and Mars tried to stay low-key, playing with Charlie and hoping to avoid Aunt Margery tasking him with homework

Aaricia - Lysander, Matthew, grab some dinner before it’s all gone.

Things got pretty crazy when a kicky-bag competition broke out in the kitchen.

Archer - Oh, sorry, do you mind if I join you? There are so many people here, and this room seems the only place to get a quick break.

Pilar - Not at all. But I should clarify, since two people lying on a bed like this often is followed by woohoo. I’m gay, so I’m not interested.

Archer - Ah, yes, I can see how this might give that impression, however, I am happily engaged and have no intentions either.

Pilar - Glad to hear that.

Archer - So...um...did you watch the SimAwards the other night?

Aphrodite - *And I thought Peter had intentions of going home with me tonight.*

Apollo - This party has been absolutely amazing. I can’t wait until I find my life partner, like Aaricia and Lysander have.

Aaricia and Lysander had said their vows and were officially married. Now it was time for the party to start.

Matthew - Congratulations, Aaricia. I’m so glad you and Lysander are married. Thank you for inviting me.

Aaricia - We may not be as close as some siblings are, but I know that for you, the ends justify the means, and me being able to get married today is an end I am very happy about. Which is, of course, really a beginning.

Matthew - Know that I am here for you. I will continue to do whatever I can, but you probably know far better than I do what will actually make a difference. But this is politics, and today is your wedding. Time to celebrate!

Margery - Aaricia. You look to stunning. That dress, it is so perfect on you. I’m so happy you are married to a man I know makes you happy.

Aaricia - Thank you, little sister. It means a lot to have you here.

Margery had always been the sibling Aaricia was closest to. 

Skye - What do you think, Violet, is Charlie trying to herd us inside?

Charlie - Mieeeeeeeoww!!!

Violet - Yes, I definitely get that impression. Shall we head in, Peter? Oh, good grief.

Skye - Wasn’t he just hitting on Aphrodite? 

Violet - I don’t want to know. I’m not going to ask.

Not everyone passing by wanted to wish the happy couple well on their special day.

Gemini - Brett Zealand, what are you doing in Sixam neighbourhood?

Brett - You can’t tell me where I can and can’t be.

Matthew - The lady was just asking your business. Do you have any here?

Brett - No.

Gemini - Then go away.

Matthew - Yes, move along. Now.

Brett did, without causing any trouble.

Peter - Well done, sending that jerk on his way. It must have been stressful. Would you like a massage.

Gemini - Sure, Peter.

Margery - Congratulations, Lysander, I know that you are going to continue to make my sister happy. I’m so please you were able to get married today. It’s wonderful.

Lysander - Thank you.

Lysander - You know that we’ve read all of your novels, right? In fact, Apollo has a paper on one due tomorrow.

Margery - Tomorrow?

Apollo - Aunt Margery, should I really be working on this in the middle of the wedding reception?

Margery - This paper is due tomorrow! Now, let’s review your arguments. No nephew of mine is going to turn in a paper later!

Sorren and Lauren hosted another party.

Peter - Yes, Violet said she was blinded by a bright light, and she can’t remember anything else.

Athena - Do you think the light affected her eyes differently than it would have affected our eyes?

Europa - Even when we get abducted, we learn nothing!

Sorren - To the table, everyone. I have just finished preparing my latest version of the Grilled Cheese sandwich!

Athena - It’s a good thing Sorren makes a really good Grilled Cheese. I can’t tell the difference between this one and the last version he made.

Skye - Shhhh! My little brother is very sensitive. Don’t let him know! 

Later that night.

Sorren - Everyone loved my new sandwich!

Lauren - I’m so happy for you. Congratulations.
