Chapter three: Bedtime Stories
"But why were you in bed with me?" Maggie quietly asked.
Duffy crossed his legs in an Indian stance and stared Maggie, straight in the eye. "I'm sorry..." he slowly began, "...but I guess I was a little homesick. I've been traveling for three years in your terms, following a signal. After many attempts, it finally led me here to your world." Duffield paused for a moment before he slowly got up, taking caution before he sat on Maggie's bed. "You don't mind me sitting here?"
Maggie shook her head, "No, but Duffy but that doesn't explain why you were in my bed?"
"On my world" Duffield began thinking up a way to excuse his behavior, "families snuggle for warmth. The way you looked, I couldn't help myself."
Maggie saw sorrow suddenly fill Duffy's handsome face. "You must really miss your home."
Duffy slowly rose and began to pace the bedroom floor. He sighed before he spoke again. "My mother freaked out when I left. My father had to grab her before she went on my ship. So much sorrow...too much pain."
As Duffy explained his heartfelt story, Maggie's eyes unintentionally dropped downward towards his loincloth. She had not noticed that it was the only thing the alien was wearing (Duh, yeah right!) Suddenly, she gasped when she noticed that the backside of Duffy’s loincloth was nothing but a thong. "GASP! DUFFY?"
Duffy turned around after noticing Maggie's face was crimson red. "What the heck are you blushing for?" Totally embarrassed, Maggie could not face him and had to cover her eyes because of it. "You have a..." were the only words that she could utter and she still couldn't finish her sentence.
“What is the problem,” Duffy looked over his shoulder wondering what she was talking about before he looked down at his body, “My body? Everyone walks around like this! Jeez, you're slow!" Maggie began shaking her head and Duffy thought a minute before he squeezed his butt. "Oh, my tail! That shouldn't surprise you!"
"That's not it…" Maggie yelled from behind her hands as she continued not to look at Duffy, shaking her head repeatedly. A blonde eyebrow rose upward as Duffy’s curiosity was peaked. It wasn’t long before the strange girl blurted out the reason. "…Never had a naked boy in my room!"
"Naked? I'm not naked,” Duffy replied, while pointing down towards his loincloth, “What do you call this?" Then the light bulb clicked on within Duffield’s mind. "Oh! So you saw my..." Duffy didn’t continue that sentence before his face transformed into a sheepish grin. "You can't be that shy!" Duffy started laughing as he approached Maggie while she remained crouched on the bed. "You are!! You're red all over!"
"It's not funny", Maggie yelled with eyes still covered.
Duffy stood nonchalantly before Maggie, just staring at her with his arms crossed over his chest. "I'm 16, little one! I don't have to wear clothes, only to cover my...uh...manhood! Just because I have a tail, it doesn't mean we're very different from each other!"
"Just put something on!" Maggie screamed.
"She's embarrassed," Duffield laughed silently to himself," Hey, that's a first." Suddenly, a jet-black Tomobikian outfit melted over Duffy's body like warm milk as he continued chuckling at the maiden’s behavior. "That's better?"
Maggie finally uncovered her eyes and glared suspiciously at Duffield. "What's so funny?"
Duffy smiled. "You, Maggie…"
Maggie stared at the boy, surprised. "How do you know my name? I never told that?"
Duffy smiled again at her. "Well that’s easy. My computer, Feishe, told me. She's my best friend, confidante, teacher...I know you're 16 too."
Maggie looked at Duffy bewildered. "Ship? There’s a ship in my pool?"
"Pool," Duffy screamed, “MY SHIP?"
Maggie stared at Duffy, curiously, "What's wrong?"
"Maggie, you have to help me! If anything happened to her, I'll never get home!"
"I drained the pool", Maggie replied calmly.
"Come on!" and he dragged Maggie along with him to show him where Feishe' was. They arrived outside and Duffy was terribly afraid. Using the mental link they both shared, he called Feishe once and received no answer. Duffy told Maggie to stay on the patio as he slowly approached the pool. Using his mystic powers again and a strange chant, he transformed the spaceship into an exotic looking tree.
Suddenly, a weak yet familiar voice called out to Duffy. "Duffy?! Is that you?!" It was Feishe. "Thank the gods!" he thought. "Yes Feishe! Are you okay?"
"Malfunctions all over the place, Baby"
"Can they be fixed?"
"Yes, Duffield...but it will take a lot of time."
Duffy's face dropped. "Looks like I'm gonna be here awhile!"
Maggie and Duffy walked back up to her room and Duffy started to sulk, sitting crossed legs on the floor. She didn't know what to do except let him stay with her until his ship was repaired. "I'm really sorry about your ship, Duffy."
"Sigh, It's not your fault, Maggie." Duffy felt so lost at the moment, stranded on a strange world with nowhere to sleep. How was he going to survive?
"Is there anything I can do?" she asked.
Duffy thought for a moment. "Well...There is something I need to do."
Maggie waited for his suggestion. "Well, I'm waiting?"
"Let me sleep with you, Maggie."
Maggie jerked back in shock, "What? You can't be serious!"
Duffy knew where this was heading so he had to clean it up real fast. "Of course, I'm serious and no foul-minded, just sleep! I need to snuggle to sleep!"
Maggie studied his face cautiously and did some quick calculations on her own. Then she replied cautiously. "Snuggle...Just snuggle?"
Duffy calmly replied. "Just snuggle."
Maggie skeptically gazed at Duffy just to see if he was serious while Duffy had the most innocent look on his face. With an exasperated sigh, she replied, "Well...okay."
Duffy's entire body reacted from his feet all the way up to his ears-his fur furled up while his ears went off like radar! The biggest Koolaid smile, bigger that the Koolaid man himself, overcame his face and a glow surrounded his body! "REALLY?!" he yelled, "THANK YOU!!!" The first thought that came to his mind, Duffy reacted to it! "CHARGE!" as he stormed towards an unsuspecting Maggie.
Before Maggie could realize it, Duffy was groping and snuggling into her chest! Maggie's complexion changed from light brown to fiery red in a matter of seconds. "DUFFFFYY?"
"You're so soft, so cuddly!" Duffy’s hormones went into overdrive as he ignored her constant calling! He would never expect what was to happen next as his arms continued to hug her.
An eruption of anger manifested from Maggie's soul, you could feel the energy intensify from her body! With a clinch fist and a free arm, howling winds followed as she dealt the teenage pervert a mighty blow! An upper cut you would have never believed!
Then Duffy grew silent. His groping arms slowly dropped from around Maggie and his movements stopped, as he just stood there perfectly still. As Maggie's senses came back to normal, she looked upon the catatonic Duffy. The next thing that followed was Duffy's entire body hitting the floor, backward, unconscious.
Maggie just looked at his unconscious form cracking her knuckles, "You'd had to learn sooner or later."
MIDNIGHT...
During the night, as Maggie and him slept (she felt sorry after punching him so hard) Duffy began to dream of his home world. He usually did this every night since the start of his quest yet tonight, the vision was different. Within his dreams, Duffy felt himself flying in flowing robes towards his mother's bedroom. "Mother!" his dream self cried as he tried to get her attention but somehow something else preoccupied her time. "Very nice, little mouse," His mother softly replied as he watched from the shadows. Duffy slowly turned towards his mother's guest and it was no other than Maggie herself. He stood in awe as she wore his family's colors of red, gold and orange.
Suddenly, Duffy felt Maggie's hazel gold eyes staring directly at him. "You found me, warrior..." she replied, "...but the deed is not done." Before he could utter a word, the warmest smile graced the beautiful maiden’s lips, causing Duffy to blush in embarrassment. All he could do was watch as he felt himself pushed calmly away hearing the maiden uttered these simple words as he left, "You must earn me now."
~***~
THE NEXT DAY
The following morning, the alarm rang out at 7:00 a.m. Maggie slowly opened her eyes not wanting to go to school. "Is it morning already? Had a strange dream about alien bears..."
Maggie heard light snoring sounds coming from her right and turned to see a sleeping Duffy. "Okay…No dream...Duffy...Wake up! I let you sleep now get up, my mom's home."
She turned and planted her feet on the floor, thinking silently about Duffy and their future living arraignments. When he refused to get up, she continually nudged him until he slowly opened his blue-green eyes. As Maggie stood up, preparing to begin her daily regiment for school, Duffy noticed something on her backside. There, on her pajama bottom, laid an unseeingly wet stain that Duffy prayed she would not notice. Duffy's surprised face spoke a thousand words. "I hope she doesn't touch her clothes", he silently thought terrified what was to happen next.
Maggie was rummaging through her drawers for some clothes to wear, her pajamas slipping off as she bent over to get a pair of underwear. "Duffy, are you up yet?"
Duffy looked down staring at his morning erection, "Yeah...kinda," He pulled the covers closer to his body, arranging the covers artistically around his groin. "That's a first!"
"What's a first?" Maggie replied over her shoulder with clothes in her arms.
"Nothing," as Duffy pulled the covers even closer to hide his...er...’problem’, "Go down! Come on please."
"What's wrong," Maggie stared perplexingly at him.
"Nothing...Heh," Duffy tried to change the subject.
Maggie noticed Duffy's sudden attachment to her blanket, "What's with the blanket?"
"What blanket?" as his voice cracked in reply.
"Are you cold or something?"
Duffy pulled the covers closer to his chin, "Yeah! That's it! I'm cold, freezing! Brr!"
Maggie just stared the alien boy awkwardly. "Uh Duffy..."
"Yes?" Duffy replied, smiling innocently while trying to cover his entire body with the blanket.
Now Maggie knew something was wrong, "Why are you lying to me?"
"Huh?” Duffy blinked his big oceanic eyes a couple of times before lowering them to the floor. “How did she know that," he thought, his eyes still staring at the floor. He was not ready to make any confessions just yet. "What makes you think I'm lying?"
"A hunch..." Maggie began, before a reddish brown eyebrows rose in suspicion, "and my room temperature is perfect year round."
Duffy sulked and knew there was no other way but to tell her the truth. "Um, It's puberty, Maggie. A guy's morning wakeup call...Boy...am I aroused."
"You do know cold showers are supposed to work…"
Duffy looked up, confuse."Showers…you have waterfalls?
Maggie looked confused for only a minute, "No, we have indoor plumbing."
"Oh!” Duffy was very interested in Terrain culture. ”So you don't use the pool for bathing? I have a lot to learn about this planet."
The room was silent for a moment as Maggie stared at the stranger. The question was on the tip of her conscious and the words left her mouth before she could stop them. "Why are you here...Why are you really here, Duffy?"
Duffy pulled down the blanket, wanting to tell this strange girl the truth. "To learn, Maggie...," he began, "...about life and love. I came from a peaceful planet, yet there are times…when my people forget."
Maggie was puzzled by the strange yet haunting words. There had to be another reason for Duffy’s arrival because the questions kept popping up in her head and she knew she wouldn't be satisfied until she knew the truth. "Didn't you have someone, other than family to stop you? Like a girlfriend or something?
Duffy paused, suddenly refusing to look at Maggie. "That's the second reason...my mate was not on my planet. She's not from my world."
"What do you mean?"
"My chosen mate is not Tebrazoid, Maggie...she's human."
Maggie suddenly felt guilty as heck! All the guy wanted was to find his mate and be on his way and what does she do? Beat the daylights out of him. Well, he did go too far. "Oh! You poor guy, you crashed before completing your mission! We have to find your mate! I assume it is female, right?"
Duffy paused again as Maggie stared, waiting for some response. "Duffy? Are you okay? I'll help you find her!"
"Maggie...that won't be necessary..." He paused and stared back down at the floor. "I found her."
Now Maggie was curious, "Who is she?"
Duffy got up from the bed as Maggie waited for his answer. He slowly looked over his shoulder towards her, afraid to reveal the truth.
"You're looking at me real funny."
He kneeled before her, resting his hands at Maggie’s waist. He stared into her hazel eyes and it was awhile before he muttered a few words, "Maggie...um..."
Maggie's instinct clicked on before her body did as she jumped up from the realization. "GASP!! It can't be...ME?!?!" She bolted as far away from Duffy as she could.
All Duffy could do was frowned at her reaction. He knew she would react like this. (Hey even I would react like that if I knew some bear came to be my husband!) "Will you please calm down?"
"Calm down?!?", she screamed while still trying to get out the room unnoticed and determining how far it was to jump down from her bedroom window. "Don't you have to be attracted to someone to be their mate?"
"But I am attracted to you," Duffy replied calmly.
Maggie flinched, "Attracted...to me?" She thought the boy had some screws loose upstairs. "How can that be? We just met yesterday beside that I'm ugly!"
Duffy stood up slowly and walked directly in front of her. "Who told you that? You are not ugly! Your colorings are correct for you!"
"I look like a mouse" she retaliated.
Duffy just looked at her, perplexed by her statement, "Do I look like one of these mouse?
"Nope", as she turned walking away, "you look like a blond, blue-green eyed, caramel skin, six foot one...teddy bear! End of discussion."
Now that perked up Duffy's interest. She was attracted to him. She opened the door for further discussion, so he thought why not go with the flow. "But you like teddy bears, Maggie," he added mischievously, Um...I'm getting some weird signals from you, real weird!"
Maggie ignored him as he continued his discussion. "If I didn't know better..." as Duffy continued while following her everywhere she went, "...I'd say you were attracted to me as much as I am to you!"
Maggie continued to ignore him.
Duffy smirked, whispering in Maggie’s ear, "You, in a room filled with Teddy bears..."
Maggie rolled her eyes before she coolly replied, "So, I like bears," and continued trying to ignore him.
Duffy’s smirk grew wider, not letting Maggie get away with anything, "Me...being a Tebrazoid. Pre-destined, I think!"
Growing angrier by the minutes, Maggie turned facing Duffy. "Look, Duffield...I am not attracted to you or anyone."
Blue-green peepers followed Maggie as she stomped around the room, collecting the rest of her clothing. "Why is that, Maggie?" he asked sarcastically.
"Drop it, Duff!" With clothes in her hands, she went over to her toiletries as she proceeded to the rest room.
"So...you're free material huh," Duffield replied, leering in amusement.
"Leave it alone!" Maggie yelled from her adjacent bathroom.
Duffield could hear water running from the adjacent room so she must have a designated cleaning area so terrains can wash up. "No obstacles? No little boys to fight?" He thought a moment and knew it was the perfect time to make a move. While Maggie's back was facing him and off her guard, Duffy slowly walked to the washing room and cautiously walked in. Very slowly, as she was putting some type of cream on her face, Duffy stepped behind Maggie and placed his hands on her hips.
Maggie, who was washing her face with Nozema, looked into her mirror and glared at the boy behind her, “Boy, if you don't get your hands off my waist!"
Duffy continued to ignore her, appreciating the perfect back view of his destined. He was getting turned out just watching her, "Betcha no one has kissed you right either", as he inched closer to her ear wanting to take a nibble.
Somewhere on the planet, a volcano erupted and the power from that explosion was connected to Maggie. She growled, wanting to knock the pervert out again. "That's it!" She turned around and was now facing a smirking Duffield. She wanted to punch that silly smirk off his face, "Why you!"
Before Maggie could punch him again, Duffield wrapped his arms around her, grabbing her firmly in a heated embrace, "Gotcha!"
"GET OFF ME!" Maggie started pounding on his chest but it was to no avail, Duffield was incredibly strong for his age.
"Not til you calm down" as he calmly replied, still grinning down at the shorter girl because of her behavior.
"You, You…," she yelled, "...You muscle-bound jerk!"
Duffy continued snickering and the more she yelled at him, the tighter he held her. For some odd reason, he had to hold her closer to him. "Quit struggling! Tsk! Tsk! You and that temper, just relax!"
Maggie ignored him and continued to pound on his chest…very define chest. Soon, she grew tired and her hand hurt from hitting the wall in from of her. Pausing, she glared at the idiot, "What are you looking at, you bully!"
"You...," Duffy stared into Maggie’s oddly colored eyes. It seemed like he was searching for something yet couldn't find it. Maggie couldn’t herself but she soon found herself staring back into his eyes while Duffy continued to search her upturned face. "That's better...your eyes...they're hazel...green and blue."
"Stop doing that," Maggie whispered, trying hard as she fought her racing emotions while Duffy kept coming closer to her face.
"Doing what?" he added. He was only a few inches away from her rose-colored lips, his sweet breath caressing Maggie’s cheek and neck.
Try as she might, Maggie felt herself drawn to him, "What...are you doing?" as she felt her resistance failing her, her eyes fluttering from his closeness.
.
"Something I wanted to do last night..." and he gently kissed her.
The moment their lips touched, electric shocks shot up through Maggie’s spine. "He's kissing me? He’s really kissing me," she silently thought. She had hundred of kisses from various guys but never one such as this! Her hazel eyes closed and she melted into his arms.
Maggie wasn’t the only one feeling peculiar from the situation. Duffy was in shock! He had been kissed by so many females but never from lips as sweet as Maggie's. As their kiss blended over and over again into another more sweeter than the next, the two teenagers abruptly stopped. Totally embarrassed and breathing loudly, both of their faces were crimson red as they forced themselves to look away from each other.
"Uh, I think I got carried away," Duffy coughed, trying to regain his composure.
Maggie was speechless for a couple of minutes, "I really think you need to be around other females..."
"Maggie, I have to solve our problem…"
"What problem, Boyfriends?” She assumed that if he knew so much about her, Duffy would know about her problem with men also, "so you know about that huh."
"Maggie! I'm talking about our virginity!"
Maggie gawked at Duffy in total shock while Duffy grabbed her shoulders and gazed into her eyes again. "How did you know I was a virgin?"
Duffy continued to search Maggie’s eyes for something, "Look, if you turn around, I can do it!"
The situation was now turning very serious. Terrified, Maggie tried to calm the frantic boy down, "Duffy! Will you calm down?"
Duffy didn’t understand, why was she resisting him? "What? Just give it to me and I'll leave!"
"What?" Maggie questioned, confusion written over her face, "Give you what? What is this…some kind of mating ritual or something?"
"Why yes,” Duffy replied innocently, "Are you ready to start?"
While Duffy stood there, anxious to get started, Maggie looked back at him annoyed as hell. "Boy do you have a lot to learn about girls. My mom is going murder me if I'm late again." She thought to out loud.
Duffy held Maggie around her waist and asked her, "now what do I do?" The poor boy looked bewildered all of a sudden.
Meanwhile, downstairs in the kitchen, Mrs. Shanelle Davidson was unaware of the goings on upstairs in her house since all the rooms were soundproof- another one of the gifts Maggie received when she turned fourteen for privacy. Though she was a diplomat and had to travel a lot, Shanelle always found time to fix breakfast for her daughter. She was scrambling eggs when she noticed the clock on the wall read 8 am, "That child...ten more minutes before I break!"
Back upstairs, Duffy and Maggie was having a debate over...personal matters.
Maggie stood before Duffy with her arms crossed, "Why?"
"Because…," Duffy yelled back.
"Not very affectionate towards your mates on your planet huh," Maggie retaliated.
"On the contrary..." Duffy began, speaking in teacher mode, "...males are very affectionate towards their mates. All the other stuff is not needed!"
"Who the hell told you that?" Maggie yelled in spite of herself, trying to remain calm. She wondered about his naiveté.
"That’s easy. Feishe did."
Now Maggie knew where the problem was. School was in session and Maggie felt it was her civil duty as a woman that she had to teach the hormones brat er boy a lesson...one he would never forget. "I hope you are not talking about your ship.” When Duffy nodded in agreement, Maggie screamed at him. ”your computer…how the heck, boy are you naïve! You're on the wrong planet, dude!" Maggie pulled the unsuspecting lad by his clothes and pushed him to her bed.
Duffy fell on his bottom and he looked up, nervously.
"I guess I’d better teach you a lesson," Maggie replied and told Duffy to relax. Curiously blinking, he did as she asked and waited as she explained about the different aspects of human relationship namely "foreplay".
"Fore-play?" he asked inquisitively.
"It's a major part of mating on our planet," Maggie began. “It's the best part, she thought silently. I only allow guys to go so far.”
"Will it hurt?" Duffy asked quizzically, cocking his head to one side.
Maggie was surprised. She knew Feishe did a program on Duffy and began to feel sorry for pervert alien. There was only one way to deprogram him and if she knew guys like she knew earth guys, everyone was the same.
Duffy watched as Maggie placed her hand on his chest. He thought it was to feel his heartbeat but when she kissed the area where his heart was, he turned three shades red, "Gulp...Maggie?"
"SShhhh…" and she continued to kiss Duffy going lower every few inches.
Duffy swallowed hard, “It's getting warm in here!"The latex body suit melted away leaving Duffy in his loincloth and arm bracelet.
Maggie took note of this and continued her descent down Duffy’s body. Suddenly, a burst of laughter burst out of Duffield’s mouth as Maggie kissed around and in his bellybutton. "I came this far...here goes nothing." She slowly pulled down the front of his loincloth.
"Maggie...Why are you taking that off," Duffy questioned, starin wide-eyed and wondering what the heck was going on. It was long before his question was answered with the strangest sensation crept from his lower abdomen.
~***~
Shanelle, Maggie's mother, was still downstairs waiting for her nomad daughter and decided to take matters into her own hands. She had just finished the breakfast dishes and Maggie's food was getting cold by the seconds. She leisurely took off her apron and proceeded up the stairs to Maggie's bedroom.
~***~
Meanwhile, Duffy was moaning something awful. Sweat dripping off his skin as Maggie continued her lovely ministration. Even through the pain was indescribable; he didn't want her to stop…all he could do was yearn for more while his soul cried tears of joy...
Maggie's mother slowly continued her way up the stairs, trying to give her daughter the benefit of the doubt.
At the same time, in Maggie's bedroom, Duffield was on the verge of release. Maggie knew he was close because of his erratic breathing and spastic movements. His nails were digging into the mattress trying not to break it but then he felt the tremor as his feet began to pat the floor rapidly. The tingle left his spine and center on his core! His cries grew, begging for Maggie to never stop. Maggie had to cover his mouth with one of her hands to shut him up while he used one of his hands to cover the other side. His other hand he crawled the mattress for balance. Maggie smirked, increasing her efforts, swallowing deeper and deeper. Poor Duffield drilled her mouth like it was a vacuum, his body leaning further and further on the bed. With one final yelp, he erupted in her mouth.
Shanelle buzzed the Maggie’s room on the intercom. "Maggie...Baby, let me in..."
"Mom," Maggie mumbled, swallowing the salty seed in her mouth. Her mother stood right outside her door and she was trying to hold down an exhausted Duffy. She thanked the heavens
"More..."
"Duffy! Be quiet! My mom's at the door." Maggie tried her best to hold him up but Duffy kept squirming on the bed, his body shivering and begging for more.
Duffield panted, his eyes closed as he tried to control his breathing “Want to learn more...from…you, Maggie..."
Shanelle tapped her feet for a minute before typing in the combination into Maggie’s room, “Look, I don’t have time for this and you are taking too long! I'm coming in!" her mother yelled into intercom.
Maggie gasped, searching a place for Duffy to hide in her room, "Duffy! You have to hide!" Duffy didn’t hear her, he was too tired to even move. Maggie had no choice but to push him over the side of her bed. No sooner as she did that, a remarkable thing occurred. While Maggie was stalling for time, a survival tactic of Duffy's click on. If and only if his cover might be blown, he morphs...into a children's toy. That's right! Duffy turned into a teddy bear and it happened just in time too because Mom just came through the door!
Maggie turned as her mother entered, "Duffy? Where, how, what?" She looked downward over the side of her bed and there he was...all cute and cuddly. Maggie could not believe her eyes, "Duffy?"
"Maggie,” Shannelle inquired as she walked in the room, “Who are you talking too."
Maggie jerked around, putting on her most innocent face, "Mom! Oh! Hi! I was looking for my overalls!"
Shanelle’s red-brown eyebrow rose up, "Whom were you talking to?" she asked again.
Maggie smiled, "Uh...my newest teddy, Mom!"
Shanelle's face dropped like a pancake, "The bears again?"
Maggie bent down and pulled up her dropped clothes off the floor. "See...I've got my clothes!" Maggie smiled innocently. "You want to meet Duffy?" She slowly turned so her mom wouldn't see her shocked face. "He's like none of my other friends."
Shanelle was not in the mood for the bears again, "not really...Just hurry up. Your breakfast is getting cold!" and she then turned to exit the room when Maggie reminded her about something. "Oh! Mom," Maggie grabbed her before she left, "Don't forget about the exchange student that's coming tonight."
"I know. pumpkin…Mr. Duffield Reynolds tonight at 8..."
Shocked, Maggie held her tongue. She knew about the exchange program but she didn't know the identity of the exchange student."Duffield?! Did you say Duffield?"
Shanelle nodded, "Yes, a very handsome young man from his picture."
"Picture? He sent a picture?"
Shanelle felt Maggie’s forehead. “Yes, Mageline. Look we don’t have time for this. Hurry up and get your butt downstairs! Breakfast is ready," and her mother left, closing the door behind her.
"Okay!" she replied and stared catatonic into space. "He's the exchange student? He's going to my school?"
"So...that's was your mom huh! You look just like her."
Maggie jumped ten paces out of her skin as Duffy reappeared in his full height behind her.
"How the heck did you do that?!"
"Do what?" Duffield seemed to be back to normal now.
"You turned into a teddy bear!!
"Oh that,” Duffy explained, “Happens in dire emergencies. I can turn human too but I prefer my true form."
Maggie stood in middle of her room in shock, listening to her companion. He really was an alien bear. "You are a teddy bear…"
"Correction..." as Duffy shook his head in disagreement," I am a Tebrazoid. Now can we continue?"
Staring at Duffield strangely, Maggie replied, "Continue?"
Duffy's face changed again, "Come on, Maggie! What you did …” Duffy hugged himself so he wouldn’t grab Maggie and throw her on the bed. “OOOOH! It felt too good to be true!" He was literally begging her to continue before they were rudely interrupted, he never did that to a female.
Maggie jumped back to give them both some space. "Sheesh, man! It was only a little blowjob, for goodness sake, to calm you down!"
Duffield crawled on his knees, begging Maggie, "CALM ME DOWN AGAIN!"
Several minutes past and after many attempts, Duffy finally gave up and pouted at Maggie's desk. Maggie was standing over a sulking Duffy as they continued talking.
"Duffield..."
Duffy was whining and ignoring her the whole time.
"Listen Duffy! If you want to learn about that, you have to learn about relationships!"
He still ignored her.
"And more importantly..." Maggie yelled while slamming her hands on the desk in front of Duffy to gain his attentions," You have to stop thinking about sex!"
"Sex," Now that caught his attention. "Oh! Sex! That's what Terrains call it!"
Maggie sat down next to him, "What do you call it?"
"There are various names for it.” Duffield related, “Mating! Joining! Um...Soul sharing! That's what the elders say, but I my opinion, I really don't know, just know what to do and how to do it. Instinctual, I guess! Planet hopping for three years is no picnic, Maggie! I've been doing a lot of things by myself...studying, joking around with the computer, other things to amuse myself."
Maggie noticed the more Duffy spoke, the closer he kept trying to get to her…especially, when he was a few inches away from her lips. "Back up, Duff," she yelled as she mushed him away from her face.
"Wait! I'm serious this time," Duffy yelled
Maggie didn’t trust him for one second. “Don't even try to use the games with me! I'm one step ahead!" She got up, making sure Duffy wouldn't make an attempt like that again. "Look..." she began, "I understand, Duffy. You don't have to explain anything to me. I'll help you until you can leave! Anyway...are you..."
"Duffield Reynolds? Yeah."
Now Maggie was curious how he was pull this one off, " Now how do you expect to pull that off!"
Duffield smiled a very secretive smile as he checked off each item on his fingers, "Everything's on my ship! I have my immunization papers, currency, pass school records, social security number, credit cards, health insurance! You name it, I got it!"
"Whoa!" as Maggie thought silently, "this guy really is prepared."
"Except how to dress! That's your department! I need clothes! Lots of them!"
"But you can even step out the house except at night!"
Duffy just looked at her. "I can solve that too, Maggie. Just watch but shield your eyes for a moment!" Duffy stood up and closed his eyes. Suddenly the room filled with such brilliant light that Maggie's eyes began to water and had to shut them. This lasted for only 20 seconds when she heard him speak.
"You, alright?"
Maggie's eyes were still watering when she tried to open them. As her vision slowly cleared, what stood before her surprised the heck out of her! "DU...DU...DUFFY?!" She thought her eyes were deceiving her if not for his armband. Duffy stood there, as sure as a human could be! His teddy bear like ears changed to human ones, as well as his nose. His tail was gone along with his large canines! Everything else was the same; he still stood six feet one barefoot with a very muscular frame; His blue-green eyes sparkled even more; his complexion was the same as well with two large dimples in his cheeks. His golden hair glowed better contrast against his caramel skin tone.
"How's this," Duffy asked, feeling naked all of a sudden.
Maggie couldn't help but stare, "Duffy?! Is that really you?"
Duffy kept inspected his body, "Yeah! It doesn't take much. I'm human until 12 midnight then I'm back to my ole self!” Duffy then looked up., “What's wrong with your face?"
She didn't realized how flushed she was. Maggie had to get away from him. Boy did Duffy get more attractive overnight or what. "I need some air! Stay here til I get back!" She left the room and started to go downstairs to eat breakfast. Duffy watched her go and crossed his arms in confusion.
Duffy continued looking down at himself, "That bad huh!"
Seconds later, Maggie arrived downstairs just before her mother was about to leave out the door. "Food's on the table! I've gotta go!"
"Alright...see ya later!" Maggie took a moment to reflect over the past events. "When he was a bear, he was cute...but now he's human and he's gorgeous! What am I going to do? No one can know who he really is! He's my secret...an alien admirer!" She looked at her watch and decided not to go to school until tomorrow. She had too much to do.
