“There she is.” A darkly handsome man motioned in Rene’s direction. The blonde man turned and gave her a once-over.
The two men were aliens from another world. Humanoid—but aliens nonetheless. They had been studying Earthlings for two years. To blend in they dressed and acted like characters they had seen on standard television shows.
Back to reality…their mission was assigned, they were on Earth and had chosen their female. She had to come of her own free will. She couldn’t be forced. The two men had some telepathic powers, but they were limited.

Most people would wonder how a race from another planet would look and be so similar to Earthlings. The answer was easy. On a secret mission to another planet long ago, three-headed, tentacle-armed freaky aliens abducted a small colony of humans on a deserted island. They were stranded after a storm left them on the island instead of being back after a three-hour tour…a three-hour tour.
The freaky aliens conducted tests and removed DNA. Things were beginning to look up. But one of the Earth subjects named Mulligan or something was a certified moron. He spilled the female DNA when trying to give a last sperm sample. Terrified by what would happen, the aliens didn’t say anything and now Uranus is overrun with humanoid males.
That is, except for the few females who had been there from the beginning. These lucky ladies had been tasked with the job title of “baby machines” and only they could produce females. However, since they can each only have one child a year, things are getting tense in Uranus. Even the scientists with their advanced cloning techniques, all they produced were test-tube males. Talk about up shit creek.
Thus, the ruler Queen Senna sent these two selected males to study and bring back a woman. Many missions were begun, but like most things started by men, they fucked up. Each time they would go to Earth, they would pick up some Midwestern people who would freak out whenever the anal probe was opened. That and the aliens kept getting lost and refused to ask for directions. Really is it THAT hard to find the third planet from the sun?
This was going to be a final mission, a last hope. The queen was getting pretty sore at the men’s futility in all areas of their world.
