Lesson#1: Don't Take A Human's Toys

Aiden turned towards the door in alarm with his gun, however when he noticed that the aliens weren't alarmed he put his gun back down. "Elifam, take care of the human. Let me talk to Selvika first before she sees him," Balderik said as he headed for the door.

"Why do you need to talk to her? She was super excited about coming to earth and exploring-"

"Yeah but remember what you told us? 'I dOn'T WaNt tO hEaR aNy ExCuSeS. Do nOt BrInG aNyThInG fRoM eArTh OnTo ThE ShIp!' I believe it was." Balderik interrupted Elifam as he mocked his voice and then walked out of the room.

Aiden moved to follow but his hand was caught before he could still out the door. "Let. Go," Aiden warned with a stern voice. Elifam didn't need to know the language to understand that Aiden wasn't happy.

Elifam did the only thing he could think of, he pointed to the door, then to Aiden, and lastly crossed his arms in the shape of an 'X'.

Aiden looked rather unhappy about being told what to do but he listened and went back into the room. Since he had nothing better to do, he started to look around and noticed that the room was mostly filled with boxes. This must be their storage room. I wonder what's in here.

"Selvika!" Balderik said as he rushed out of the room but he quickly became concerned when he saw her carrying 4 very large bags. "Selvika, what's in the bags?"

"..." Selvika, who had expected Balderik and Elifam to still be out of the ship, didn't know how to respond. "I saw a human going into a store...so I got some souvenirs...I'll give you something if you promise not to tell Elifam."

"..." Balderik didn't know how to break the news to Selvika that Elifam was already on the ship...along with a human.

"So the thing is-"

Elifam stumbled out of the room. Aiden had his legs wrapped around Elifam's neck and his hands wrapped around his horns; they both began screaming.

"GIVE THE FUCKING WHIP BACK TO ME NOW!" Aiden yelled as he started to aggressively shake Elifams horns.

"I'M SORRY I TOOK IT FROM YOU! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU LIKE IT SO MUCH! PLEASE JUST LET ME GO!" Elifam said as he tried to get Aiden off him, but the more he struggled the more pressure Aiden would put on.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?" Balderik asked. He had only been gone for a minute at most and chaos broke out.

"IS THAT A HUMAN?!" Selvika shouted in disbelief.

"I TOOK THE SPINE WHIP AWAY FROM HIM. HELP ME!" Elifam begged.

"YOU LET HIM LOOK IN THE BOXES?!" Balderik shouted.

"I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE HARMLESS! HELP ME!" Elifam cried.

"JUST GIVE IT BACK TO HIM!" Balderik yelled

"BUT IT'S DANGEROUS-"

Aiden, "GIVE ME THE FUCKING WHIP!"

Balderik, "GIVE HIM THE STUPID WHIP!"

Elifam, not having any other choice left, lifted the whip's handle to Aiden. The moment that Aiden saw the handle, he grabbed it and jumped off Elifam.

"Unfucking believable! Do you know how long I had to listen to you talk about the rules we had to follow?!" Selvika yelled as she dropped the bags in her hands, "and then you just sneak a human on the ship without telling anyone?!"

"Aren't you going to ask if I'm ok?" Elifam said as he rubbed his horns and his neck, the human had an unexpected deadly grip.

"Actually, I was the one to bring the human on the ship..." Balderik admitted.

"Oh...then forget I said anything," Selvika's rage had completely washed away.

On the other hand, Aiden was having fun with his new toy. The whip looked like it was made from someone's spine, but the most interesting part was the handle, a long bone with weirdly engraved cravings.

Aiden couldn't help but be captivated by it. Should I give it a name?

Aiden thought of a name, "Boner!"

At the same moment, Selvika ran up to Aiden and stared at him. Aiden was so baffled by the sudden action, that he stopped paying attention to Boner and just stared back at the new alien.

"Selvika stop! you're going to scare him!" Balderik said as he rushed to stop Selvika.

"Wait! Let's see what she does." Elifam grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

Selvika grabbed one of her bags, rummaged inside, and took something out. She had no idea what it was but shoved it into Aiden's arms anyway.

Aiden, who was holding a watermelon, had now found good first use for Boner.
