You try and hide Squawg from your mom.

You couldn't let your mom see your best friend's older cousin in your room, let alone trying to explain that she is actually possessed by an alien.

"That's a one way ticket to the loonie bin," you mumble before quietly whispering to Squawg, "Quick, get in the closet!"

"Closet? But I..mghgh" you put your hand over Squawg's borrowed mouth still trying to talk. You groan and push him into your closet. You quickly shut the door before noticing your last push had accidentally causing Squawg to land on a pile of dirty clothes piled up on the floor and cushioning his fall (and thankfully, not making any noise). You go back to your bedroom door to greet your mom.

"Hey mom, what's up?" you nervously reply.

"Johnny, I heard some noises coming from your room. Is everything ok? Why is your window open?" your mom questions you. You wonder if she has already figured everything out. You had to come up with a good excuse.

"Well, you remember that noise I heard earlier? I thought I heard it again and got up to look out the window," you explain, "but, I think it was just the wind shaking the trees. I accidentally left the window open and made it seem louder." You walk over to the window and shut it making a point that it was much quieter now and it wasn't because someone had crawled through it moments before.

Your mom stares at you trying to digest your excuse. She sighs, then yawns clearly tired and upset at being woken up for a second time tonight.

"Ok Johnny, just try to ignore any noises and get some sleep ok? I don't want to wake up again. Understand?" your mom demands of you.

"Yes ma'am," you meekly say. Your mom walks off back to your room and you close the door. Sighing in relief, you go back to your closet to check on Squawg. Opening the door. you saw only the pale backside of Maddy who also has her butt encased in one of your dirty boxers putting on a T-shirt. Squawg turns around, smiling at you."

"Oh Johnny, I am glad you are done speaking with your maternal parent. I can non find any pants. Could you show me where they are?"

You stare stunned before responding, "Squawg, what the hell are you doing?"

"I am getting new clothes! This Maddy owns very uncomfortable ones. When you put me in here, I saw your clothes were much bigger! If have to wear clothes than I want be comfortable. I know you wouldn't mind."

"Ugh, Squawg. You can't wear guy clothes, you can't be here in my room at 2 am in the morning, and you defiantly can't be acting as strange as you are!"

Maddy's cute smile slowly became a frown. Squawg stepped out of the closet and set on the edge of your bed. Her borrowed T-shirt enveloping her body and almost hiding the boxers she wore.

"You are right. Squawg does not know much about this person or how she acts. I see some memories, but not all. Adaption process is not complete. Need more time. Do not want to be discovered. That would be bad for Squawg...and for Maddy...and you. You help me so far. Can you teach me? I have much to learn from you." Squawg plead with Maddy's beautiful eyes.

You hesitate, wondering if it wouldn't be easier to tell the alien he's on his own, but Squawg hadn't done anything wrong on purpose.

"Ok, but you have to promise me once you will listen to me no matter what and after we find your ship, you have to let Maddy go," you demand.

"Squawg promises!" he smiles revealing Maddy's braces on her teeth, "Squawg is glad Johnny is helping, and I will do the same!"

You weren't sure what he meant by that, but every second this girl was in your room risked exposing the both of you, "Alright fine, but you need to put on Maddy's pajamas and head back to her Aunt’s house. You need to stay there and in Maddy's room no matter what until I come over tomorrow morning. Maddy's brother Tom has a match in the morning, so her parents, or I should say your parents will be at the game. Maddy doesn't ever go to the games. Understand?"

Squawg give you an ok gesture. You dig out Maddy's clothes from the closest, trying not to look as Squawg struggles to put them back on. With some embarrassing assistance buttoning up the last buttons of her top (and giving you a view of Maddy's cleavage), you open up the window and help her climb down. You see Squawg running back to Maddy's house. You shut the window and head back to bed. Turning off the bedside lamp, you wonder what tomorrow will be like.
