and him.”

“That's called chemistry, Calla. And how old he is? What does he do? How does he look like?” Ehime asked, interrogating her.

“Mom, please” Calla answered, blushing.

“You are right. Well you have a lot of reasons to travel back to the moon. From now on let us know before you leave.” Ehime responded.

“I will.” Calla stands and walks towards the stairs that lead to her room. “Thanks, for telling me the truth.” As she ran to her room.

Calla locked herself in the room. “Could she forgive her parents? Did she want to go back to the moon? Did Tom feel the same way she did?” She was still confused. But now the empty space that she felt in her heart was finally filled with knowledge about her history. A few days passed by and she prepared her next trip to the moon. She informed her parents and took off. There she was again. As she approached the moon, she let the humans in the control tower know who she was and for her surprise, her aunt and uncle were there in the platform waiting for her. Linda had told her parents about Calla's visit. When they heard she had come back she wanted to meet her. Calla landed and as soon as she touched the ground she heard a loud voice.

“Mi sobrina!”

Calla had no idea what it meant and when she looked there was a woman that looked like her mother. She figured out it must her aunt and Calla ran towards her.

“Que bella mi negra.” Ana said in Spanish. She hugged her and kissed her and kept repeating the same expression.

“What does it mean?” Calla asked.

“It means you are beautiful. Oh it is great to see you again. The last time I saw you, you were a new born baby. And now you all grown up into a beautiful young woman. Linda explained everything. We are glad you survived. We can't believe Airion and Ehime adopted you! Oh you look just like your mother!”

Calla was overwhelmed. She looked to the side and there was a huge group of humans. She could recognize the grumpy old man which was her grandfather, Linda and Joseph. Everyone had a huge smile in their faces. Now this is the kind of welcome she expected the first time she came. But there was one familiar face missing.

“Meet your uncle, my husband.” Her aunt said.

“Hello, I'm William, very nice to meet you.” Calla extended her hand to greet him. She had learned from her previous experience that this is how humans greet each other formally.

They all left for the station where the Reeds live. When they arrived Tom was at the door, waiting for her. Calla smiled and Tom welcomed her.

“Can I give you a hug?”

“Yes, you may.” Calla chuckled. Tom came and hugged her. Calla felt safe on his arms.

“I see you have met our friendly neighbor Tomas.” Her aunts says. Then talking to Tom she adds: “Come in with us. We have to prepare a nice dinner for Calla. You may join us.”

“Thanks, I sure will.” as they all walked in.

Calla was invited to stay a few days with her human family. She enjoyed every moment. She learned even more about her family and about Tom.


“I don't want to leave. I've had so much fun with you guys. I want to learn even more Spanish. But I'll talk to my parents. Maybe I can come once a month and stay for a week. I do have responsibilities back in Norge that I can't forsake. Gracias for such a wonderful time!”

Linda yelled: “Group hug.” and they all hugged Calla at the same time.

After the group hug. Tom whispered to Calla: “Do you want me to walk you to the platform?”

“Sure.” Calla replied in a low voice.

They walked together towards the elevator that took them to the platform. He held her hand and Calla felt this warm sensation that went from her fingers all the way to her head. She held his hand back.

At the platform, Tom gave her hug and kissed her in the cheek, whispering: “Stay! Do you want me to beg?”

“That would not be necessary. I will be back.” Calla kissed him back. “I'll see you soon.”

As she punched the coordinates into the vessel's computer, she looked through the window at her soon to be boyfriend. He waved at her good bye with a sad look on his face. Calla arrived at Norge and her parents waited anxiously for her.

“How did it go?” Her mother quickly spoke.

“Mom, let me arrive at least.” Calla throws her bags and slumps into the nearest couch. “Oh mom it went incredibly well! I meet my aunt and uncle. I ate typical food from my home country. I learned about my mother's adventures as a child, how she meet my father, how they fell in love and where they got married. Even my grandfather opened up a little bit more and told me he was happy I was alive. They had forgiven the fact that you are my parents and are amazed at the change the Norgerian people had accomplished. They are grateful for your loving care towards me. And so am I. I'm sorry for my behavior. And I do forgive you. I truly do. I love you both!” Calla stands and runs towards her parents, giving them a warm hug.

Airion and Ehime couldn't hold back their tears and simply held her.

“Thank you for forgiving us. We are glad to have the old Calla back.” Airion added.

They all sat enjoyed a nice dinner that night at their beautiful golden stronghold.

“Mother, Father I wanted to ask if it were possible that once a month I could travel to the moon and stay with my family and see Tom, is that okay?” Call asked.

“About your family, that is fine, we have no problem with it. You can go and stay for a few days and come back. Now concerning this young man, we would like to meet him first. Of course if it is possible.” Airion said.

“Yes I would love it if you could meet him. I can arrange for him to come here for a few days.”

“We would certainly like that.” Ehime said.

“You know I was thinking, maybe somehow we can help the humans restore their planet. We do have the technology to obtain water from anywhere in the universe. Whether it's on liquid form, vapor or solid, we are able to convert and purify for use. We could bring water to the planet and help them restore it's balance. Do you think the humans would agree to let us help them?” Airion asked.

Calla gasped. She was marveled at the idea and simply screamed. “Yes! Of course!”

“That night turned out to be one the greatest. Her parents were going to make a plan with the Norgerians government to help restore planet Earth. She had had found family and was about to have her first human boyfriend.

Calla went up to her room and sat down in her bed. As she looked through the window at the starry heavens she started thinking. “Just a few days weeks I was desperate to know my true identity. I felt empty and downhearted, as if a small piece of my heart was missing. Then my life tumbled down before me as I found the horrible truth about my family. I never thought I was going to able to move on and lead a normal life, without any hate or sorrow. But now I have! I found my family!”

Out of all her family dysfunctions Calla was able to learn the importance of forgiveness. She recognize that neither humans nor norgerians were perfect and that everyone makes mistakes. But overall no matter how hard things get, she could count on her family. A norgerian family with special abilities and the capacity to love her despite being an inferior human. And her human family which were crazy, loving and sympathetic, beings with powerful feelings and huge hearts. Now Calla was complete.

“I wanted to know, I deserved to know. Now I know!” Calla giggled, embracing her human side.
