His box was picked up, carried and put down again. Scott was very uneasy. Dozens of scenarios ran through his mind. And the giant family’s conversation seemed to be deliberately intended just make him more and more anxious. Not being able to see what was going on didn’t help
“So, how was the maiden voyage, Mia?” the man asked
“Not bad, Dad” she replied “I found something real nice for Jules”
The box moved some, and then the front was pushed in right at Scott’s eye level. He felt the box get lifted. The bottom of the box suddenly felt very thin to him, as if it would split open any second.
“Can I open this one, next?” Juliana asked.
Scott cringed ‘This is really it’ he thought, closing his eyes tightly. ‘I DON’T WANNA DOO THIS!’ He heard a loud ripping sound. ‘The wrapping paper’ he assumed. Scott scrunched his eyes even tighter.
“Ohhh, they’re just gorgeous!” the birthday girl said, excitedly “I’ll be wearing these to school all the time! Thanks Mom, thanks Dad!”
Scott sighed in relief. But he was curious as to who was holding the box. It obviously wasn’t Juliana.
“Open mine next!” a young boy’s voice said
Scott grunted when the box thumped down on a hard surface. The next thing he heard was a resounding slap.
“Careful with that, Freddie!” an indignant Mia yelped.
Again, more ripped wrapping paper.
Juliana ignored the tiff between her brother and sister and opened his gift “Oh, thanks Fred” she said happily “My journal is almost full. This one is very beautiful”
Scott heard the sound of lips smacking against skin.
“Awww, shucks…Jules…welcome...” the young boy’s voice replied
Scott laughed at what he pictured in his mind as Freddie, all red-faced, pushing Juliana away.
“So, is this from my favorite big sister?” Juliana asked.
The sides of the box creaked and groaned. The box was picked up again and rotated around.
“Careful, Jules” warned Mia “Your present is…well…fragile.”
Scott was grateful for that. Bouncing around in the box wasn’t pleasant.
“OK then” Juliana said “Guess I’ll just open it then”
Scott shivered, twice he’d thought time was up. He’d steeled himself for what was coming. It hadn’t happened. This time he knew Juliana was talking about his box. She was already holding him, really. All she had to do was open…Scott’s thoughts were interrupted, he squinted as light burst in through the top of the box
“IS that really an Earth Person?!” the 10-year old girl exclaimed.
Mia fake whispered to her sister “You should really take him out of the box to be sure”
“Is he really mine?!” Juliana asked excitedly “Can I hold him!?”
Mia giggled “Well, I didn’t go all the way to Earth just so you could look at him, Jules!!!”
“You keep your comments to yourself, young lady!” the mother scolded.
Mia kept on giggling “Ahh…sure Mom”
Eager fingers reached into the box. Scott had to resist. He felt himself get lifted by the collar. Kicking his legs shook him loose and he fell back in.
“Ooops, slipped” Juliana commented, more amused than anything else “I’ll get him this time” she reached in again.
Scott purposely stayed at the bottom. When he looked up, he saw fingers wriggling around, and just part of the huge girl’s eye. He curled into a ball and tucked his head under his arms.
“Oohh, a zipper tag! I’ve gotcha now!!” Juliana squealed as she caught the one on Scott’s sleeve. This time, she lifted him enough to get a hand around her present “MINE!” she declared triumphantly.
Scott got his first look at Mia’s little sister. Juliana had a brighter shade of red hair than her sister, which was tied in pigtails which framed her more heavily freckled face. “Uhh…hi” Scott said “Errr…look…you seem like a nice person… Ahh…can’t you just let me go home…Please”
“AH-HEM!” came from Mia “That wasn’t what he meant to say. Was it Scotty?”
Scott flinched at her angry expression “Errrr…ahhh…no” he stammered, frantically trying to remember what Mia told him to say “Oh yeah! I remember! Hi, my name is Scott. I’m from Earth and I’m your gift from your big sister. And I’ll do anything to make you happy! So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!” He managed to say it with a smile, hoping to keep the younger girl happy.
“Nice to meetcha Scott” she replied, grinning at the Earth boy she was holding. “How old are you?”
“Fourteen” he answered.
She cuddled him against her cheek and said “I’m Juliana, I just turned ten…Ooohh, I like this tuxedo you’re wearing, Scott. It feels sooo soft. And that bow you're wearing…yellow’s my fave color. Its sooo pretty!”
“HEY!! YIKES!! WHOA!!” Scott protested. Juliana had started flipping him over and over in her hand while running a finger along his waist. Twice, she touched below his waist. Scott groaned ‘Not getting hard! Not getting hard!”
“I think that’s enough for the moment, Jules” the father said “Set him down on the table. Your mother and I need to speak to your new Earthling for a moment.”
“But---” Juliana began.
“Put him down, dear” the mother added, firmly “Mia, you go with her, I’m sure you know why.”
Scott watched both girls leave.
Can I play with him?” the 6-year old brother asked.
And before Scott could even blink, he was snatched off the table. The boy’s fingers instantly went below the yellow bow. Scott reacted by pulling his legs up.
“You put him down at once, Cassius!” the mother ordered ”He belongs to your sister!”
The boy obeyed and vanished. Scott couldn’t have been more relieved. Now, maybe, he hoped, the adults would return him to Earth. “Please, ma’am, sir, I just wanna wake up at home in my own bed”
Sorry, Earthling” the mother replied “Once you’ve seen one of us, you stay on our world.”
The father coughed harshly “What we have to know where you got those words that you said to Juliana”
“Uhh…its what Mia told me to say” Scott explained. He was very afraid, confronting two angry giants.
The giant mother picked him up and said “Well, there’s nothing else for it now, but to explain. They’re very powerful words here”
“Why?” Scott asked
“One of you, saying that to us---you gave Juliana complete permission to do whatever she wants to you” the father answered.
The mother set him on the floor and, with a pitying look, said “So, even if we were allowed to send you back to Earth. Once you said those words…well...its too late now. You belong to her. Don’t worry, she’s a good kid. Now, go get to know your new owner.”
Scott swallowed nervously and headed for the door. He stopped when he heard the girls talking.
“---you touch his thing?” a giggly Juliana asked
“Mia replied “Well yeah, he got real horny a couple of times. Just push it around with your finger a little. He loves that”
“What’s it like when he…well…you know?” Juliana asked.
Mia shrugged “Couldn’t tell ya, sis”
“What?! WHY?!”
The older girl just laughed at the reaction and answered “Well Jules, its like this. I found him for you. Sure I played with him a bit, but he’s yours. You should get to enjoy that first time yourself”
“EEEEEEEEEE!!!” the younger girl squealed “You're the best, Mia!!!!”
“Come here, Mia” the father called out “And watch your step”
Scott watched Mia’s foot soar over him. He was lifted into the air, this time by a solid grip on the collar. Scott’s legs swung uselessly until a set of fingers wrapped around him.
“Mia said you have another present and that its under your pretty bow” Juliana said “I got my own little Earth stud” As she started for her room, the young girl started touching Scott’s chest.
Scott squirmed to avoid the roaming fingers, but it was useless. He saw a door with a small sign that said [Juliana’s Room]. The fingers stopped groping him to open the door. Then, raising Scott’s anxiety to a whole new level, Juliana closed the door and flipped the latch.
In the kitchen, downstairs, Mia and her parents were laughing “That was a sneaky thing you did to that boy!”
“Sorry, Mom” Mia replied, sounding very unapologetic “Besides, I wanted to make she Jules has fun with him. She's................................”
