I was in a spaceship with my dad, we were out exploring. We saw another spacecraft land on Earth. We were concerned because we knew it was aliens. We decided not to tell anyone until we found the aliens and detained them for questioning. My dad was able to do this because he was some kind of authority figure over the space program. We go back to Earth and try to find the aliens but they are really difficult to track down and we have no idea where they are. Some time later, maybe a month, I happen to meet this girl who looks exactly like the Russian figure skater I saw on the Olympics last night, and get to talking to her and she has a strong accent but still speaks English well. I feel sorry for her because she can’t afford her rent and got kicked out of her apartment. I offer her to stay with me and she gratefully accepts. I eventually discover that she is the alien my dad and I saw land. She is the only one that came. I tell my dad about it cautiously because I don’t want her to get it trouble because we are friends now. He takes it well. She tells me about how she didn’t know humans could be this kind and that she will report my kindness to her people and we won’t be destroyed. After this my alien friend leaves. Then I realize my body is slowly becoming more and more transparent and fading away. I conclude it was because I was around her. I become distressed because she is gone and I can’t ask her how to fix it. I go to sleep, then wake up in a strange place. There is a large television screen with strange boxes displayed, which react to my arm movements and it’s some sort of language learning game that is set to teach Chinese. My alien friend appears and tells me that this game is how she learned all human languages. She tells me I am on her spaceship and that I won’t be transparent anymore since I’m with her. I accept this, wanting to explore all of space with my new best friend.
