“Jade, I've been waiting for aaaaaaaages, what are you doing?” a shrill voice called as Jade looked up from her seat. Looking at the clock on the wall, she flinched, realizing she was about 5 minutes late. Quickly straightening her outfit, she quickly headed to the next room, to the source of the sound. It had been about five years-just over two solar sweeps ago when first contact had been made with an alien species. She remembered the day clearly, she had been a little over 6 sweeps, living alone in her tropical paradise. A friend had messaged her, asking if she had seen the news yet. Quickly checking her usual news source, she saw it. A transmission had been received from somewhere outside the Milky Way Galaxy, although reports never specified where, requesting contact be made. Despite her best efforts, Jade was never able to actually decipher where the transmission had come from, although after the transmission, things quickly changed for her and all humankind.
A date had been set for when the extraterrestrial ship would land, and first contact would be made. However, things did not go nearly as well as planned when the day arrived. A group of xenophobic radicals somehow snuck into the event, and upon the arrival of the first delegate, they open fired, a torrent of bullets raining down upon the alien and all the spectators who had gathered. The death of the delegate, her body riddled with bullet holes, had apparently been expected by the Alternians, as they were later revealed to be called, thinking humans to be a brutish, savage species. Sending a prisoner to appear as a delegate, their hypothesis was proved correct, and they initiated war. Although the humans had put up a decent fight initially, they were entirely outclassed, unable to provide the weaponry and defence need to protect the entire Earth. The fighting barely lasted half of a sweep, before the Alternians were declared victorious over the Earth.
“I apologize Miss Serket. What would you like?” Jade asked carefully, eyeing the cerulean-blooded Alternian lazing on the couch. What remained of the human race had been either enslaved or culled after the war. Luckily, Jade's island had been relatively untouched by the war. In fact, it had almost been entirely ignored until one Miss Vriska Serket decided to go exploring. She had been a young, high-ranking alien with a taste for adventure and dramatics who had decided to take her pirate fantasies out to sea. Upon finding the lush, tropical island, she immediately started exploring, coming up with plans to colonize it and make it the place for her new hive. Unbeknownst to her, Jade had been preparing for the day she made contact with the Alternians. Although the Imperial Drones had tracked and collared her, standard for any human deemed suitable for enslavement, this hadn't meant she had actually met any of the aliens. Until Vriska came to the island that is. Initially she met Vriska with resistance, trying to get her to leave, but her efforts proved futile as the girl simply used her mind controlling abilities to prevent her from causing any harm. Deciding to ignore the girl, she attempted to keep her distance, not wanting anything to do with her or her mind-controlling abilities.
The hive had been built, just far enough from Jade's home that she hopefully would be able to live undetected. It took her nearly a sweep to realize that she had been under the control of the cerulean-blood mind control almost constantly since they met. It was simple laziness on Vriska's part, letting Jade slip out of the mind control while she was still in her hive. Nonchalantly Vriska simply explained that it was no good keeping up the charade anymore and demanded she start taking her rightful place serving her Alternian overlords. Of course the first few months had been rough, learning the ways of Alternians, their weird habits and rituals, trying to integrate into their society. Vriska herself was quite abrasive at first, with her shrill voice, demanding attitude and penchant for using mind control when Jade wasn't working fast enough. However, Vriska wasn't that bad, the two eventually sharing tales of their adventure to each other, and exploring the island. She eventually realized that Vriska, despite how annoying she could be, actually wasn't as bad as other Alternians. She always was told to stay in the next room, keep her voice down and not to talk to other Alternians when they would visit. Initially thinking it to be a rather stupid rule, she barged into the room as the other aliens were in there. She quickly realized she was outsized by these behemoths, one of them, clad in indigo, needing to slouch deeply so that his horn wouldn't puncture the ceiling. She remembered the booming, gravelly voice of one of the adult Alternians as Vriska hurried her out of the room. The next day she noticed splotches of cerulean in the carpet, which Vriska simply shrugged off, saying they had always been there. In time she found out the older aliens had disapproved of her, noting her disobedience and urging Vriska to train her or have someone else do it for her. She had refused, which had presumably resulted in some sort of skirmish. Confronting Vriska about it, she simply shrugged, telling her that if she wanted a brainless drone, she could go pick one up at just about any shop.
“Did you forget, I ordered you to be in here for precisely 8 PM. It's currently 8:06.” she said, disapprovingly. Straightening her posture, she looked at her, shaking her head. “I believed I told you that you were to meet a very important person today at 8 and you kept him waiting.” Nervously, Jade looked around the room, concerned over who their guest could be. After her first meeting with the older Alternians, she quickly learned to stay out of the way when company was over. Although Vriska would occasionally have friendly, younger guests over, such as Tavros or Kanaya, she rarely met company. Having the younger aliens over was usually a treat though. What astonished her most about the younger aliens wasn't their behaviour, but how Vriska acted around them. She treated them similarly to how she treated her, one might even say she was almost tender with Jade. Asking Kanaya about it, she smiled softly, telling her to ask Vriska herself about it.
“You really do make a pathetic excuse for a slave.” she said, turning on the screen in front of her to reveal the super sized freeze-frame of her favourite actor's face. Jade sighed in relief, no longer worried over who the guest might be. Vriska patted the sofa beside her, as Jade bounded over, punching Vriska in the arm as she got there. Sitting down she giggled a bit at the situation. She had eventually confronted Vriska about it, and the results had been entirely unexpected. After attempting to entirely avoid the situation, she relented. Bashfully, she told Jade that she heard reports of her from the drones, and seemed like a really cool island girl, so she wanted to be friends, the initial reason for coming here. She didn't expect her to be hostile though, so when she made it clear she didn't want to be friends, she tried to use her mind control to make her be her friend, but that didn't work. Trying to use the overlord card, she hoped that Jade would begin to warm up to her as she would be keeping her in her hive as a slave. In that aspect her plan succeeded, eventually reaching a point where the two would joke around and have fun exploring, being very friendly with one another, it was when the high-bloods arrived that she realized Jade was more important to her then as a slave, or as a friend. The high-bloods had threatened to take her away, so, in the heat of the moment, she claimed Jade was her matesprit. Although the high-bloods disapproved severely, they accepted it, letting her and Jade be. Although she had initially thought it to be a lie, she soon noticed she started having slight red feelings towards the human girl. Inviting some of her more understanding friends over had simply been a way of her trying to banish these feelings, looking for someone to feel red over of her own species. Although this attempt failed, it later became a way to gain information about Jade's feelings, and having someone to talk to about her own. Surprised over this revelation, Jade wasn't sure what to think. Seemingly embarrassed, Vriska told her she was allowed to leave, and, if she wanted, she'd even leave the island, letting her Jade peacefully alone on the island again. Jade had left the hive that night, returning to her old home. However, the next morning, she returned to Vriska's hive, explaining that she had thought about everything and she had decided to stay with her, and live together on the island.
“You're an assbutt, you know that?” She asked, snuggling into the crook of Vriska arm. Despite her rather bony figure, she was rather nice to cuddle with, enjoying the strange warmth that radiated from her body. Chuckling the alien lightly planted a kiss on the top of her head.
“You love me though.” she said teasingly, messing up Jade's hair. pressing play on the remote control. The movie started, as Jade smiled. Being an enslaved species definitely wasn't what she envisioned in her future, but having a Vriska as a girlfriend was better then she had planned.
