You came home to your parents house from traveling with Missy for Thanksgiving and, as usual, your parents badgered you about not having a date. You were used to it by now. So imagine your surprise when Missy shows up to your parents’ door Thanksgiving morning, acting like you had invited her.

When you hear the doorbell, you imagine it’s another one of your family members waiting to come in. But instead, when you open the door, you see your alien companion, dressed in her fanciest attire, smirking down at you.

“Hello, darling. Happy Thanksgiving.”
