Felicity

Chapter 63: Clara and the Aliens

Several years had passed since Clara's return to Felicity and her marriage to Fiona. The years had been happy until recently. Clara found herself grieving for family members that had ceased to be.

Clara was disconsolate from the death of her Aunt Martha and her Uncle Jim, she knew they should not have died. Clara had given them a large cup of her chicken soup and both should have remained healthy for another fifty years.

The rapid deterioration of both her Aunts Allison and Sophie forced Clara to decide that every one she loved would drink the magic potion in her presence.

However when Clara and Fiona got to her Aunt Allison's house they found both dead in their bed. They were in very fine night gowns and were in an embrace, smiling at each other. Fiona went across the willows to get Aunt Wendy and Clara went up two houses to get her Mom.

Neither was surprised. Sophie had become more and more demented and had gotten to the point she did not always recognize Allison.

Allison had hinted to her sisters that the next time Sophie knew who she was and remembered their life together they were going to celebrate with a special tea. Both were seventy-seven years old.

Their sisters took the tea cups to the kitchen and washed them then called their little sister Amanda. The three then talked to Allison and Sophie for about twenty minutes before Wendy called Allison's son and daughters. They were not surprised either. Connie and Joe came over and they all told stories about the loving couple until the coroner came to get them.

Clara was devastated because she had not visited with them for a long time and did not know the extent of Sophie's condition.

It made her more determined to make sure no one around her would die, ever.

She began before Allison and Sophie were taken away. She made Aunt Wendy and Aunt Amanda drink the soup she had brought for Allison and Sophie. She knew her Mom had drunk hers, she had watched her do so.

Both Amanda and Wendy said it was not as good as it had been the first time they tasted it. Clara learned that was her Aunt Wendy's third cup.

"Did Uncle Jim give you his?" Clara asked.

"Yes, I had broken a cold and he said I could use it more than he did. That was just before Die Fliedermaus."

Clara decided not to tell her about the potion. If she knew her Jim had died because she had a bit part in an opera she would drink whatever tea Aunt Allison had brewed.

Clara made sure that everyone she or Fiona loved was now protected from illness and would live a long life. But they also knew that they had been too reserved in their friendships and knew that there were many her sisters and her cousins knew and loved they had little contact with.

The began to attend every get together they had been invited to. The more get togethers they attended the more they were invited to attend.

They attended a Christmas party at the home of Fiona's little sister Bobbi. All there drank the soup. One of the guests was pregnant and Clara gave her a second but smaller cup telling her it was for the baby.

Before Clara and Fiona left Clara loved all of them and was happy they had attended.

Soon over eighty people had been dosed, she would not need to attend any funerals for a long time.

All were aging on average one year for every five. Her Mother Mo and her Aunt Wendy were doing much better than that. They were both in their mid sixties but looked and acted as if they were in their mid forties. She and her partner Fiona looked and felt like they were in their late twenties but were already in their late-forties. She and Fiona were happy.

Then Clara had surprise visitors, Grandma and Grandpa from the planet Akkad. She was very happy to see them, it had been years since their last visit. Grandma was a cousin of Empress Ohm who Clara had loved dearly and had led the rescue expedition to her lake house.

Fiona had met them while they were attending the succession ceremony for the present Emperor. She and Fiona had sex with four alien species and had a lot of fun which abruptly ceased when they learned the ceremony required for the Empress to cease to be.

They had not felt like playing with others after the ceremony and had requested to be taken back immediately. Grandma had commanded the ship that did.

In fact the memory of the event brought Clara to tears for several years afterwards.

She decided that this time she was ready to resume the love making. The Akkad had amazing tongues that sent Clara and Fiona into orgasmic spasms easily. The four spent a day making love and catching up with gossip.

On the second day Grandma filled them in on the future of Earth. It was as grim as could be, an almost complete extinction episode. She told Clara that as First Friend the Emperor Ohnling had commanded that she and all she designated would survive.

"That would be all of Felicity," Clara said.

"The Emperor loves everyone you love, especially your Aunt Wendy, your Mom, Martina and Paloma. He however wishes for you to decide who you would be happy with living inside a bubble because that is what you will be doing. He also wants you to think in terms of genetic legacy.

There will be just four shelters one of which will be a large island with a smaller bay island reserved for the people of Felicity. He hopes you will find at least two hundred people to bring with you but there is room for five hundred."

Clara thought about it for a couple of minutes then said, "Right now I can think of only about eighty people. I will need help on this."

"My daughter Ahn, Sehel the daughter of your Devl friend Tal, and the Sprite Ashel will be here tomorrow to help with that. The Kindred Rah may be with with them since her father Pehr will be working here in Felicity.

You need to recruit others to help you, think of the people that know JB's, Ruthie's Fiona's and Paloma's secrets. We know they can be trusted."

"How many people total will be saved?"

"We hope at least half a million. We are meeting with the recruiting team next week. We hope we may all stay here with you until then. Our daughter and Sehel will be upset if you don't invite them to stay with you."

"We have room but I better put bigger beds in the two other bedrooms," Clara said with a giggle.

"We will try to find recruiters starting today. I request that you two give them the news and their tasks. They will believe the seriousness of the situation much faster that way."

"Well, Grandpa can do that. I'm a bit leery of humans," Grandma said.

"Right," Grandpa said.

Before their argument began Clara said, "Do us a favor and visit Felice, we know she has had contact with others, we know her son is special."

"How do you know that?"

"We are friends. We assume her son is part of the plan for the event and that she knows about it. I am sure she has already done some selections.

Her son called her and told her he had just met his wife and will be in Vienna next week. I assume you will be there too."

"I am again surprised by how much you can deduce from small tidbits of information. I will go talk to her now," Grandma said.

"My guess would be that talking will be just one of the things you will do while there," Clara said with a giggle.

Her butt was swatted for that remark then was gifted with a kiss from Grandma and her remarkable tongue.

Clara drove her to Felice's home but was amazed she had disappeared before getting in the car.

"You had never seen us cloak before?"

"No. No Akkad has ever bothered to do so for either me or Fiona."

"Akkad have been on Earth often since you returned. So have Devls. We cloak and they shape shift. This is my fourth trip here but my last two were all work and I did not have time to visit you. Tal came with me the last time and has not spoken to me since. I was supposed to take her right to you but my schedule didn't allow it."

"She was here? Now I'm considering not talking to you either."

"Sorry."

Grandma stayed the day with Felice, even following Felice's cat to learn where it was going each time it escaped.

That evening after dinner Clara asked Wendy, Mo, Marie, Martina, Paloma, Marti and Maddy who in the town they would ask to join them in a secure storm shelter during a hurricane that would leave them trapped for months in the enclosure but with all needed supplies.

"Well our families of course, including Audrey and Hanna, Shawna and Sammy, Patrick and Lauren, Ruthie and Sean, Rob and Vicky."

"They are family," Mo said.

Clara interrupted and said, "OK. let do this from a different angle. Who would you definitely not invite into the shelter with you?"

"You mean leave outside to die?"

"No, the would all go to Denver or Nashville."

Over fifty names were mentioned although a few of them had tenuous support from at least one of the women. More names came up after a second bottle of wine was consumed and many more after the third bottle was emptied.

Some of those names were surprising but the person that brought it up had a specific piece of information that made them potential unwanted roommates.

All had a good time in what they thought was a fine gossip session and Fiona drove them home, none were in condition to drive.

Grandpa said to Clara, "I think Paloma could hear us. She sensed there were others in the room and I think Wendy did too."

"I would not be surprised. Both have untapped abilities. Their friend Marti may have them too. How many no votes did you count?"

"A hundred and forty-two."

"That was over twice what I would have guessed. The allegations against two of them shocked me. Martina did get the data from Shawna and she would know. But in a town of over nine hundred it means more than seven hundred would qualify."

"We need to give all a test for a tragic flaw, xenophobia. You probably need to hire a couple of psychiatrists to ferret those feelings out," Grandma said.

"True, many don't like others with a different color of skin among humans and they are unlikely to accept, Dorans, Devl, Akkad, much less Saurians. Florans and Cephalons."

"Did you know the entire planet Hahdes is in love with you?" Grandpa asked.

"What? No, why would they be?"

"The hug you gave Tal, Sehel's mother. It lifted a planet wide doubt about their self esteem. When the rumor of your trysts with her reached their planet you became First Friend to them too. The Dorans too most likely, and the Kindred.

All messages you send to the Emperor are broadcast to every planet, including the sex parts. They see all the pictures and they shared your sadness at each cease to be."

"Hmm, I should thank all for empathizing with me. And I better tone down my descriptions of the sexcapades, and Fiona's too."

"That is the part they love best especially the events with Audrey in Vegas. Beings were very surprised to note that Fiona had another man, they are happy for her."

"We better not tell her, you know how she is."

Grandpa said, "The planets want more pictures and the Emperor seems to think it would be a good idea to send more videos of everyday people doing every day things. Sundays at Jana and Inga's would be nice."

Grandma slapped his butt and called him a dirty old Akkad then said to Clara, "What the Emperor wants is a video of Saturdays at Martina's and the parties at Wendy's. He wants all beings to see that you deserve rescuing.

He has sent you five cameras, and an enhancer/transmitter to the planets. All of them have a visualizer channel reserved for them. As you will see the cameras vanish as soon as they are activated."

She then had Grandpa set up one to cover Clara's living room and kitchen then saw it disappear.

"Do you have ideas for places for the other four?"

"Yes, Martina's yard has become boring with the kids all being teenagers. The veranda at the resort will be better. I think most will be mesmerized by all that water. Aunt Wendy's back porch looking out to the pond. The viewers will see all kinds of creatures from that one.

One at Jana's place and the other on the front of the resort looking up Felicity Blvd. The one at Jana's will give everyone a chance to hear Earth music and some concerts. It will also show them how not to dance," she said with a giggle.

Sehel the Devl, Ashel the Sprite, Rah the Kindred, and Ahn the Akkad and daughter to Grandma arrived the next evening. The four spent the night in a sexual orgy with Clara and Fiona.

At the resort the next morning all the alien ladies were floored by the sea, only the planet Akkad was covered with water but there were no vast expanses of it. From each island on Akkad you could see at least two more. The Gulf of Mexico would be the largest single body of water on any of their planets except Cephalia. Clara installed the camera so it could see the people on the covered deck and the sea.

They stayed on the resorts deck and visited with new friends for most of the morning. She soon had a camera working at Jana's club but decided against the one for Felicity Blvd. That one would be boring.

They drove to Wendy's house and installed one there. Clara was not surprised to see the tub was occupied. Her sister Maggie was there as were their cousins Helen and Charlene and their friends Cicely and Leigh. They were nude and gossiping about every one.

Clara installed the camera so it showed the hot tub and the yard then decided that was as good a time to start. She began to disrobe and said, "Girls, I have a secret that all of you need to keep. I mean keep to yourselves, no husbands, no Moms, no brothers, no sisters."

"Oh, you're pregnant!" her sister said.

"No, a much, much bigger secret."

The girls could not conceive of anything bigger until Clara said, "Remember those times when all of you thought I had vanished off the Earth? I was off the Earth. I made friends. These are four of them."

"There are only three," Helen said.

Ahn uncloaked and the girls looked at her in astonishment. Before they recovered Sehel dropped her human form and joined them in the tub. Ashel got nude and flitted into the hot tub with them as Clara, Fiona, and Rah joined them.

Questions and answers flew for about ten minutes before the girls noticed that Fiona and Sehel were making love. Within two minutes the interplanetary lesbian orgy was well underway. Clara, Fiona and her guests remained in the tub for an hour.

After all were content Clara asked them to make a list that included all the people they wanted saved. She told her sister their mother would know that night. She told the girls not to bother listing their extended family, they were already on the list.

As they left Clara was convinced it had been the right place to start, they were already mentioning names of people Clara did not know.

She also knew that her guests were now their friends and lovers and that secret was safe which was good because Ahn and Sehel had stayed in the tub. Clara decided to allow it but reminded them to vanish if anyone came in.

Three minutes later Audrey came in before Sehel could shape-shift or Ahn could cloak. She was already nude and dove for Sehel's tits as soon as she was in the tub. The love-in continued.

After another session of sex Leigh asked Sehel why they were bothering to save humans much less Felicity.

She answered, "Our former Empress and Clara were lovers. Our Emperor loves her as a second mother.

By the way, on our planets asking someone to be their friend is the highest compliment anyone can give an individual and we never turn that down. That was why Clara asked you to be our friends. It is a big deal to us."

A pause was needed then, Helen's pussy had just been invaded by Ahn's remarkable tongue. Helen's groan was loud enough to scatter the doves in the yard. Leigh kissed her then asked Sehel to continue but before she could Sehel had a pussy in her mouth. Leigh shrugged and soon had a pussy in her mouth.

After a loud groan Maggie said, "We already loved Clara but now that is no longer the right word."

"Adore is the right word," Helen gasped.

Ahn had just risen from beneath the waters. She had been submerged for many minutes but the one out of breath was Helen.

The girls kissed and played a little longer but decided they need to go home. Helen gave Ahn and Sehel a ride to Clara's.

Martina, Paloma, Wendy, Marti, Maddy, Marie and Mo went to Clara's house to visit with her new guests that evening. Before long Wendy had asked them to please show their true form, that they were friends.

The aliens were shocked but Clara was not surprised and nodded to their guests that it would be OK.

In less than ten minutes interspecies sex was in full progress. Wendy and Paloma had sex with Grandpa twice. Grandma had sex with Martina twice.

Sehel had expected reserve from the humans towards her but like that afternoon she again found herself in the middle of it immediately. Mo made love to her twice. Marti and Ashel could not keep their hands off each other. Maddy devoured Rah. It was long afterwards that it came to Clara that most of the sex began in the living room and that had been broadcast to all the planets. Then she remembered so had the orgy in the hot tub.

"Oh, well. My ratings will go up," Clara said to herself as she shrugged her shoulders and giggled.

She decide the last camera would go in Sean and Ruthie's back porch looking out to their hot tub and yard gates. It would show the nude traffic to Jana and Inga's pool and the couples get togethers. The cameras had microphones and they would pick up music being composed in Ruthie's studio and the orchestral jam sessions.

Before her guests left that evening Clara said, "These are our rescuers, we will owe our life to them. Please keep their presence secret until you are sure they will be accepted.

Each Friday evening I will host dinner here and I want each of you to bring one or two people to meet them. Bring Shawna and Sammy. Ruthie and Sean should be back. Carly and Jimmy, Rob and Vicky would be next. Hold off on Shirley, Juanita and Janie until we decide about Charles and Sam.

Helen, Charlie, Leigh and Maggie have met our friends and are already compiling a list."

Sehel added, "And Audrey."

Clara nodded and continued, "Aunt Wendy, we know keeping things private is difficult for you at times but please, this time it's imperative you do so. You of course may talk to each other about your assignments.

Nobody tell Karen, I will do that eventually. Now kiss your new friends and lovers and think hard about this Friday."

Paloma stayed, she spent the night with Grandma and Grandpa and would in fact do so each night until the Akkad left three days later.

Paloma was lonely, her husband had been forced to briefly return to the spy business and was back in Europe. His return had already been delayed twice. Grandma and Grandpa provided her with a very fine distraction.

Fiona hired a psychiatrist couple to find the Xenophobic and male superiority adherents and nearly three hundred residents of Felicity were removed from consideration, many of them Asian, Black, and Hispanic.

All had been told it was a screening ordered by Homeland Security because of the safe house and the Coat Guard station. The tests and interviews took less than thirty minutes and families could be done together. Most that had prejudices almost immediately gave themselves away so the process did not take long.

Clara was surprised by the large number to be excluded.

Later Shawna eliminated almost two hundred after doing extensive background checks but cleared Sam and Charles, the guys they beat up had it coming and she had in fact suggested such action to Charles.

Some borderline cases were interviewed by the psychiatrists and nearly all were selected, each had solid reasons for their actions and views.
