“Ok great we are with the ambassador we didn’t know how to contact you we had to-“ another distctly female voice in the background starts yelling at the speaker “Stop spouting all the technical no one cares -But we need to make him underst- No he really doesn’t care trust me I know – Ok, apparently you are supposed to be our contact we just called to ask you where you were so we can land nearby and talk”
I almost laughed at the interaction “Well the government has probably already spotted you just don’t destroy the satellites in orbit and they are probably listening to this call as well just say hi they should start talking anytime now”
Right after I finished a professional voice came over the line “Yeah we’re listening”
“great, I always knew that they were listening, Well as you can tell aliens have come to make first contact officially there has been unofficial meetings before but they hid it well”
This time the one who called me spoke up “wow this is convenient Yes we came to make contact and introduce you to the virtual world”
Well they seem to be talking it out I’ll just have them call each other this talk is boring for me “listen I know you guys are having a great talk and all but now that you are talking to some one in charge I got to go grocery shopping so call each other”
And just like that I hung up
After getting my groceries I make my way back home and notice that that ten blocks from my house is a police line, and not just any police line it’s a line of swat with riot shields all facing inwards I spot the crowd and notice my neighbor in his car, “Hey whats up why is the police here?”
“I dun know man I was on my way home from work”
I notice a police women putting a poster up nearby so I walk up to her to ask her but I stop just before I was going to ask her because the poster was a picture of my face with a reward on it
She turns around and sees me looking at the poster “we’re looking for this man” she looks at the poster then pauses then looks back at me then back at the poster “Oh”
I don’t move I just stand there and say “Yeah, ‘Oh’”
“I’m going to have to ask you to come with me, sir” she produces a pair of handcuffs
Well I’m certainly not going to want to drop my groceries so I just hold m hand together still holding the groceries while she cuffs me
“lets get going then”
We make our way to her car I get put into the back and she starts driving towards the swat line
A Sargent looking guy asks her what she is doing there she replies simply “I got him sir” he looks at me and just nods to her “Ok go on through”
Eventualy we pass another line this time it wasn’t swat it was military with armored vehicles and everything, just how did they get all this here while I was shopping for groceries?!
I was transferred from a police car to an armored car driven by a man in uniform with a patch with the letters MP on them, I am still cuffed as we pass another line this time less defined it is much different from the last line it less defined and people were just walking some in suits some with Camo pants everyone was armed, some looked like veterans and others looked like businessmen
I was pulled out the armored car by a man in suit and a guy who looked like a veteran but was way to young to be retired probably some special forces guy
I notice that we’re like 2 blocks from my apartment
“So where are we going?”
No answer I guess that’s the professionalism for you
While I was deep in thought I forgot to look up and didn’t notice the giant ship floating in the sky slowly lowering down in he part that we were heading into
At first I didn’t notice anything thought they were going to shoot me while I was in the grave they built for me because they didn’t want to clean it up but then the wind started picking up rustling the grass then dust started to pick up and finally I looked up and saw the giant ship the size of a small house slowly lowering down it looked like a giant coffin
When it landed a panel lowered to the ground like an elevator when it landed it projected a blue staircase and surprisingly some cat people started to descend…

Why cant life just be simple I think my cheese has melted by now I wish I could put it in the fridge
I am still standing there when a person starts to descend he looks like an engineer of some sorts with the belt of strange looking tools and another person next to him… a purple cat with blue tipped ears isn’t that Monica
She spots me and gives me a strange smile
I smile back then I am pushed again and guided to some guys in suits nearby and I missed the official looking cat that descended the stairs
Once I am guided into the group of people I am sat down in a chair and another guy sits besides me there are two chairs across from me
The guy next to me starts sniffing the air like he smelled something bad and asks “do you smell that?”
“Yeah its my groceries I never got a chance to put the away”
He looks down at my cuffed hands and notices the bag of groceries in my hand, he looks at the guy standing behind me “You go get these handcuffs off and send and order to get his fridge stocked full and trow away that bag of spoiled good”
“Yes sir!” and he sprints off to get the key for my cuffs
After a few minutes I am presented with a recipt for goods purchased, suprisingly theres even a recipt for my phone bill and utilities did the government just pay all my debts and filled my fridge with food?
Because there is no car within twenty minutes I am still cuffed when Monica and another Purple haired cat sits down across from me I have my hands on my lap so they don’t see I am cuffed, I smile at Monica “I thought our next meeting was supposed be in a year and a half”
The guy next to me started coughing while drinking his coffee and then leans over and whispers to me “Don’t say anything leave negotiations to me!”
I lean over and whisper to him as well “they have cat ears bro they have better hearing then us”
I look over and see Monica trying not to laugh and the other purple cat smiling as well and the ‘negotiator’ was trying to have his pale face show
The purple cat started laughing loudly “Hahaha I see now why my daughter likes you so much” he puts out his paw like hand for a shake
I reflexively try to shake it but realize I am still cuffed and we all have another laugh except the ‘negotiator’
Monica’s eyes now go sharp looking at the negotiator “so why is Jake cuffed like a criminal”
I just shyly sit down trying to disappear
The negotiator is trying to hide his embarrassment “Well he was cuffed when he arrived but we don’t have any keys here to get them off here we sent a man to get the keys already he should be here soon”
Eventually the man comes with the keys and I got shake the hand of Monica’s father finally then we all sit down
For most of the conversation between the negotiator and her dad I was zoned out looking at Monica across from me and talking to Shari in my head
After a couple of hours chefs show up with shiny platters of food when the deposited them I noticed the distinct smell of fish and other meat
Like me Monica was quiet for most of the time and she finally spoke now “Oh that smells good” she starts to reach for it
“Careful its hot” I state simply while I reach for a plate and utensils while the waiters try to stop me from getting the food myself but they couldn’t stop me, I was hungry I haven’t eaten in a while dinner is OVERDUE
Monica decided to copy my moves while the negotiator and her dad get served, but all of us got poured a lightly alcoholic wine with a great flavor, little did I know that that meal would have cost me a fortune for it was created by some of the best chefs in the country
After the meal we were all satisfied, apparently Monica doesn’t take alcohol very well for she removed her translator and started talking to me while the negotiator and her dad were all business
“I wish Shari could have been here for this dinner it was great” accidently let my thoughts leek
Her dad heard me and looks at me “Who’s this Shari?”
I look at Monica who was now was sweating nervously I guess she hadn’t told him about our daughter…
“Well, you see she’s… Our-“ I was cut off by Monica putting her pawlike hands over my mouth to prevent me from talking
“She’s a programed lifeform he created” her dad stared at her suspiciously then went back to the talk with the negotiator who raised an eyebrow at me
After a long time and after the sun went down and lights were put up to illuminate us Monica kept drinking the wine she eventually passed out before she embarrassed herself doing something stupid and the engineer looking guy carried her away before taking her place, turns out it was the guy who called me
After a while we all went back I was escorted back to my apartment and went straight to sleep after connecting to the virtual world where I slept holding Shari’s soft tail while she snuggled against me
Waking up I checked on the status of the world and noticed it moved up a couple of months I guess its started to piece together faster I predicted it would be done by the end of the week
I logged out again I started breakfast while watching the news about the aliens that came for a visit apparently the left a few officials and are now back in orbit
While I was cooking my phone rang again this time it was a number an actual number I picked it up apparently it was Monica the government gave her a phone seeing how close she was to me
“Hello!” her excited voice came over the line
“HELLO DOES THIS WORK?!” she started screaming into the phone before I could reply
“Yes it works Monica”
“Oh great, my father wants to talk to you, that’s why I called”
“Ok I’ll be there after breakfast”
And I hung up
I ate real fast and went outside I seem to be going out more then I did while I was with Monica for those 5 years two days in a row must be a record
I picked up my phone and called Monica
“how does this work again *you just speek into it* Ohh ok err Hello?”
“Ok I guess this is Monica’s dad”
“yeah I am Cressle I must talk to you today they sent me to something called a five star hotel”
“Ok I’ll be there soon” there was only one 5 star hotel in town
After a long walk I made my way to the hotel and unsurprisingly security stopped me I look like a poor person so it was obvious they would “Just tell Cressle I am here to meet him”
After a few minutes I am let in and make my way to Cressle’s room I sat down across fom him.
