Seasons greetings and alien abductions!<\/p>\n
Khephren: There\u2019s no way in Helgar’s Nebula I\u2019m marrying the candidate my parents have chosen for me. I don\u2019t want to be the house-husband of some stoic warrior who only cares about training all day. Boring! Thankfully, I\u2019ve learned a thing or two from all those rom-com human movies I\u2019ve illegally downloaded off the intergalactic web. No one will see it coming when I pull a runaway groom maneuver on them!<\/p>\n
Once I make my escape, I can go on the solo honeymoon of my dreams\u2014to planet Earth. It\u2019s almost that wondrous time of year when they celebrate their holiday known as \u201cChristmas.\u201d Human Hallmark movies make it seem so magical. I want to experience it for myself! Now, I just need to find a human who can make my wish come true and help me have an authentic holly jolly time\u2026<\/p>\n
Sasha: Scrooge was right when he said \u201cbah humbug\u201d to Christmas. This time of year sucks balls, and not the fun kind. I\u2019ve just lost my crappy part-time job and I\u2019m slowly sinking under a sea of student loan debt and crushed dreams.<\/p>\n
Just when I think my life couldn\u2019t possibly get any worse, my cat and I are abducted by an alien who wants me to help him experience a “real human Christmas” on his ship. WTF? Clearly he\u2019s chosen the worst possible candidate for the job.<\/p>\n
But there\u2019s something about Khephren\u2019s enthusiasm and eternal optimism that starts to melt even my grumpy, cynical heart. Heck, I even agree to be his fake fianc\u00e9 to get his parents off his back! I don\u2019t know what\u2019s happening to me, but Khephren\u2019s charm is making me feel things I never have before. And those bright pink tentacles of his are strangely fascinating. I can\u2019t help but wonder what all they can do\u2026<\/p>\n
As we spend more time together, I start to realize I might not want to go home and that maybe, just maybe, I\u2019ve found what I\u2019ve always been looking for. Could Khephren feel the same? If so, it would be a Christmas miracle and I don\u2019t believe in those\u2026right?<\/p>\n
