Creeper took out her four mutants from their sleep into the open area around their home, there was a meteor shower happening. Ivan had already set out the mats for the children to sit on, and had prepared some hot drinks too. The family of six made themselves comfortable, and enjoyed the show. Continuously, one child was asking questions, some that neither Creeper or Ivan could answer for her, when she made a frightening statement;
"Mummy, look! That star wants to sit with us and watch."
The child, the only girl of the four and named Alice, was referring to something that was indeed coming towards the family home, at a very fast speed. It was a lot brighter than the rest of the stars and meteors, and almost upon the family. Completely unprepared for such an event, Iva hustled the family inside and to the lowest point of the house; an underground water storage area. Thanking Creeper for the swimming lessons, and their natural abilities, they all dived in. It was just in time too, as the object plunged into the ground only 700 meters from the place they was sitting, creating a large hole in the hard clay earth. None of the family came out from the water storage until they could see daylight.
When Ivan dragged his water logged body from the water, he was overcome by the site of the hole. He staggered back, almost knocking Creeper down while she collected her children. The family's secluded country property was now a giant hole, and what wasn't hole was covered in clay and dirt, including the house. Still unaware of what was in the hole, Ivan hurried his family inside, and made quite an effort to lock and block all the doors and windows. Nothing was more important to him than family, and if there was something that could threaten them he would do everything he could to protect them. When he was dried off and had something to eat and drink, he armed himself with a shotgun and set out towards the hole. He was only few few steps away when he started to hear banging, coming from a large copper object towards to northern end of the hole. He took out his shotgun and aimed, still quietly making his way down to the bottom of the hole. He was an arm's distance from the copper object when the banging stopped, and Ivan bravely took the last step and open what he though was a door. Finger still on the trigger, and torch now in his other hand, he went in. Even he told Creeper and the children to stay inside the house, they all come out when 5 minutes had passed since they could last see Ivan. Naturally, Creeper became worried and when out, taking a rifle with her. The children followed, with Trojan, the eldest son, taking his father's paintball gun. Creeper stood at the side of the crater, aimed her gun and waited. She called out Ivan's name, and when she got no reply, fired the rifle. The bullet didn't even dent the copper coloured object. She was about to fire again when she saw something coming out of the object. Her face lit up when it said 'I told you to stay inside', and laughed, however her smile faded rapidly when she saw what Ivan had found. A small blue creature dangled limply from his arms. Creeper took aim again, yelling for Ivan to drop it and run. He didn't listen, only saying quietly, "please, it needs help." Creeper looked up at Ivan, and cursed him for his persuasive face. She hurried inside, sent the children to their rooms and turned the kitchen into a hospital room. Ivan came in and carefully placed the creature on the counter. The couple looked at each other, and then down to the creature.
"Well, at least it's more normal looking than me."
Ivan laughed at Creeper's comment, and both then set to work.

10 years later
I've never considered Ivan and Creeper to be my parents, or Alice and her brothers to be my siblings. I know they aren't, and wouldn't call them that, not even from the start. They all accepted my decision, and never questioned me about it. I think I didn't want to call them mother, father, brother or sister because I knew right from the beginning how I felt about Alice. I didn't want names to stop me from my quest.
"Oh my god mum I can't believe you!"
Alice stormed away, back to the safety of her room. She had become so secretive over the past few months, and even though Ivan had added a room to the house for Kione, Alice refused to let her move out of her room. Kione was the same, however, she didn't want to move out either, and was also trying to hide something. Creeper and Ivan though little of it, ever since the day Kione crashed her ship into the family's backyard, she and Alice had been inseparable. They instantly became best friends, much to the delight of Alice's brothers. Now 10 years later, with Alice turning 18 rather soon, she was battling with her parents for a large party to celebrate her birthday.
Alice yelled from her room, "Kione got a huge party! Why can't I have one?!"
Creeper simply replied back, "Because Kione is never in trouble."
While this was happening, Kione was sitting on Alice's bed, willing Alice to stop and sit down with her.
Day 14.
Alice had another fight with Creeper today, I honestly though it would end like the last one did, thankfully it didn't. Well, thankfully for Alice and Creeper, not so much for me. Neither of them hurt the other, but by the end of the day I was a little unsatisfied. Alice and I watched a romantic comedy after dinner, and we had both fallen asleep before the end, apparently. Riot told us the next morning that he came in before his parents did and turned everything off. He's the only one that knows, and Alice and I both know he will keep our secret.

note; with where I want to take this story, I'll have to write some off-site. I'd prefer not to link, because of the PG-13 rating on Chicken Smoothie, but if you would like to read it for judging, provided I've written some parts by then, I can. I don't know what site I would write it on though, perhaps I should just create my own website for Kione.
