I’m Your Daughter!

“How can you do this to me?! I’m your daughter!” Stocie shouts.

“It doesn’t matter," her mother shoots back. "You’re an alien! No aliens in this home!”

“Mom, I can’t believe you’re opposing me!”

Her mother's features slightly softens. “I’m not, sweetheart. Aliens are taking over the world and you’re an accomplice. I won’t have that!”

“But Mom, I can protect the Earth. I can try to prevent any alien attack.

“Well, until then, you’re not allowed back here!” The mother shuts the door and Stocie cries. She will prove to her mother wrong. That she’s the hero.

Stocie walks into the night and finds her spaceship.

"Greetings, Stocie!" her comrades say in unison. "Welcome back!"

"My brothers and sisters," Stocie starts sadly. "My own mother has rejected me."

"Our dear, Stocie," Ostrix, the leader of the aliens said. "Do not worry. We will always welcome you with loving arms."

Stocie feels warmth in her heart. She's still heartbroken by her mother's rejection. At least others care for her.

"Would you like us to take good care of your mother?" Droxiel asks.

Stocie panics. She knew what he meant.

"No! Let's just save the world!"

But they won't listen.

"Attack!"
