      The Best Little Christmas Ever

      It all started when Schewandalii, Schew for short, stopped in at a grungy looking convenience store on his way home from work. It was a long drive to and from Santa Barbara, so the Setagean Consulate hired a car service for some of its employees. Schew was lucky enough to qualify. The human driver sat in the car while Schew went inside for a giant grape sloppee and picked up a newspaper.

      The cashier stared at him openly. Some humans were like that. They hadn’t seen enough aliens or perhaps they resented the contract the world governments had made with the Unity, the group of alien governments. Many humans, he knew, saw it as a take over. His people, from Setagea, saw it as a sharing of the universe’s resources. Earth was not meant just for humans alone.

      He slurped the drink through his mouth, feeling the sugar buzz through his twelve blue feelers. Schew sighed with pleasure. Earth did have some wonderful things.

      He ambled back out to the car and stretched his arm to twice the normal length to get his drink in the cup holder, then rolled into the car using his five legs, and pulled the door closed.

      Home James, he said, mimicking something he’d heard in a silly old movie. Although this driver’s name was Jonathon.

      The driver didn’t laugh. Humans had no sense of humor.

      He flipped open the newspaper. Earthling’s still insisted on using them. Even in this day and age. Simply amazing. He liked the scent of the hemp paper. The texture was pleasing, as well.
