AH! AH! AH!
Sarah reached out from underneath her comforter and slapped the alarm clock, shutting off the call for her to start her day.
"0730, God I hate mornings." She flung the comforter off knowing if she didn't get up quickly sleep would overtake her once again and she would sleep the day away. As she stood up and slipped on her cat foot slippers, complete with little claws making it look like she had beast feet, he eye caught her reflection in the mirror. Even with her dark strawberry blond hair a mess from her restless sleep, it still looked good. Falling in an enticing way about her face. She smiled as she stretched and looked at her body. She was 5'4 150 lbs, all curves. Her breasts were rather large for her size and her round butt was the same, to say she filled out a pair of jeans and a t-shirt would be an understatement. As she continued to stretch out and shrug off her sleepiness she continued to look in the mirror, striking poses that the Instagram sluts, as she called them posted on a regular basis. "God I love how I look in the morning." Another smile crossed her face and she inspected her room and went down stairs to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Although Sarah was only 22 she lived alone mostly. Her father and mother were divorced and her mother was a busy executive, for a telecommunications company, and traveled all over for her job. "From coast to coast, in any country that needs a way to talk." She guessed that's why they moved so much, but when she was leaving all the time anyway she could have just stayed in their home town of Solon, Maine. sure it was a small town in the middle of nowhere but it had a certain charm. But for now she finds herself in the suburbs of Tokyo, Japan and she can't see much of a difference, except there are more people and a lot to do. She would go to the malls and restaurants and sometimes walk around but she always just enjoyed sitting at home immersed in a good book, a TV show on Netfix or a video game, usually a fantasy RPG where she could play as a sexy heroine bent on saving the world and vanquishing some ancient or alien evil force.
She turned on the oven and preheated it to 350 degrees and went to the fridge, removing some pre-cut tomatoes onion and some spinach, some eggs and some milk. She began to crack the eggs when a loud knock came from the front door.
"Hello?" Sarah opened the door and was face to face with a tall black haired woman wearing sunglasses and a business suit.
"Good morning, I am Special Agent Smith, from the Interspecies Exchange Service, IES. Are you Sarah Coldwell and this is your residence, is that correct?"
"Yes I am and yes this is, but what is this about?" About the time Sarah confirmed the information she realized Agent Smith of the IES wasn't alone. Behind her and slightly to her right stood a large dragon creature. He must have been almost 7 feet tall and his muscular frame must weigh over 400 pounds. Her eyes went wide as she took in his size, His scaly skin was a dark red crimson with some flakes of gold, and he wore a large pair of cargo shorts and an "I love anime" T-shirt. His eyes quickly averted as he noticed her looking at him and his cheeks seemed to turn a brighter shade of red. 'Is he embarrassed?'
"Excellent, then you are aware of the Inter species exchange program that many countries are experimenting with to bridge the gap from our many species?"
Sarah turned back to Smith but looked at the hulk behind her, curious. "Yes I am, but I never signed up for anything, and am not aware that I was being considered as a host family?"
"Yes we are aware of that but you're mother actually signed the papers." Smith nodded over a sheet with her mother signature but she never made any mention of this to Sarah, even though they hadn't talked for a few weeks.
"Well I guess if my mom agreed to it then there isn't anything I can do about it. So what now, What happens now?"
"Well It's quite simple really, we are going to do some modifications to your home to accommodate your new guest," With those words a team of construction workers rushed by and immediately set to work, busting out door ways and doing god knows what. Sarah watched in horror as they worked with a freakish efficiency that seemed to change the house in a matter of seconds. "And after you sign here, here and here, we will be on our way and you and Michael can get better acquainted."
"Michael, you mean the dragon?" Sarah looked back at him again with a quizzical look on her face. 'His name is Michael. Didn't guess that.'
"My mother named me after the warrior angel who defeated Lucifer and watches over all warriors of the world." His voice was deep and strong but had a softness that sent a chill up Sarah's spine in a way she wasn't use too.
"Yes The dragon are one of the most noble of species, great warriors protectors and soldiers for their homeland. It's said that if a dragon takes you as a charge, hey will protect you to their death. It's almost a form of marriage in a way because dragons forsake all others even their own for their charge. Sarah looked at Michael and wondered what kind of person he was but if that is is heritage then he must something special.
"Ok, all signed, so what now?"
"Well lastly, here are the rules and regulations of the exchange program, really just simplified rules. dos and don'ts. but read them and understand the basics." Sarah nodded. As she did Mrs Smith leaned in and whispered into the young ladies ear. "Listen the biggest do not is there is to be no sexual relations between human and non humans."
Sarah leaned back and looked at Smith with a look of disgust. "Why would anyone want to have sex with a monster?"
Michael's shoulders sagged and he seemed to become visibly upset, as if she had said something extremely hurtful.
"Mrs. Coldwell, These people are not monsters. Just because they aren't human doesn't make them any better or worse than humans. This is what the exchange is about. To bring us all closer together and understand each other better."
Sarah realized she over reacted and probably said something very hurtful. She didn't even know What Michael was like and she just called him a monster. "I'm sorry, Michael" She said bowing to him. "I didn't mean any disrespect it's just, Mrs' Smith, you caught me off guard with that rule and I was just surprised by it. I'm sorry."
