“Hey, we just follow orders. I hear it is pretty bad now. She has like four guys at a time. I was one of her bodyguards before coming here to study Earth. Things were different before. Now I’d be afraid I would fall in,” Jared piped in.
“That’s disgusting!!!” Rene shook her head.
Angrily Tommy turned back. “Oh, I see, Earthlings are so much more sophisticated.
I have seen some of your so-called entertainment. Girls with horses, midgets, guys with farm animals. Although, that one time with the cow was interesting. Besides, that was a long time ago.”
Pausing, Tommy continued. “I wanted to be a woman for a while and thought I would DIE when I had a period. I would eat four gallons of chocolate ice cream and a dozen pepperoni sticks.”

Jared interrupted. “You can’t judge people without knowing them. Or aliens for that matter.”
“Can we hear some music or something?” Rene rubbed her temples, feeling a migraine coming on. This is what happens from too much coffee, she thought.
“Oh, sure, what would you like?” Tommy bounced in his seat.
Now lost in thought, Rene said, “Not the Village People. I don’t care. Just something.”
“Ewwww, they suck. I have a perfect disc that you’ll love.” Jared reached out to cover the CD player opening. “NOT Cher. I am so tired of that CD.”

Chapter Four
The truck pulled up to the downtown area. Jared parked it in a darkened alley beside a bar. Jared hit the ignition, ending Tommy’s CD in the truck, and silence took over.
“Awww…shit.” Tommy was peeved at not being able to dance anymore.
“A bar. You are taking me to a bar. Are you kidding me?” Rene quickly realized some free drinks might help. They sure couldn’t hurt.
The doors of the bar opened as a couple left. Tommy was again in heaven, the silence was broken by the blasting sound of eighties music. Tommy shook his head and hopped out shaking his ass like a schoolgirl. “Wooohooo, I love this music.”
“The transport is over there.” Tommy pointed to an ATM booth under a corner streetlight. “We just need to wait until midnight then we can leave. Might as well have some fun.”
A cloud of smoke billowed out the door as Jared opened it.
“Ah, my kinda place. Loose women and alcohol. What a great mix, and I need to get laid before the trip.”
Tommy whispered into Rene’s ear, “He always gets horny before space travel.
Actually he is always pretty horny.”
Rene almost said “likewise” but thought better of it.
“Let’s dance. I wanna shake my ass to some tunes. Come on, don’t get shy on me now. I’
m a great dancer.” Tommy tugged Rene to the floor as a techno beat filled the room.

In the End
Just as Tommy began to circle Rene, the music changed, as did the mood. The lighting turned blue and the music was a slow jam that had everyone filling the floor quickly and fully.
