How To Be A Human 101

FOUR: A Day With Zynx

Kaden and Dylan's House

I woke up in the Earthling's large room. It is much larger than space on Zodatia..

I floated down his stairs and into his second living space which he called the living room.

My stomach rumbled a bit and I knew that I was hungry. I saw small flat green containers with images on them. I opened one that said Call of Duty. I found that inside the container was a circle. I smiled. I opened more to find the same circles everytime.

"Chico go to sleep..."

I looked around for the tiny beast and did not see him. I continued looking for something different in each container when suddenly the Earthling said, "Chico go to-...oh it's just you." I smiled happily at him at the fact he thought I was his tiny beast.

"Happy Mornings, Earthling! I have noticed that the rooms I'm your living space are different." I said, smiling. Chico crawled in and made a curious sound from his mouth.

"Morning...and yeah houses all have different rooms for different purposes." Anyway let's start the day."

We entered what the earthling calls a kitchen. He set a dish of food on the table and sat down across from me. He started to eat and I did too.

I followed his movements and ate the food. "What is this food named? It tastes delicious!" He laughed a bit. "It's eggs, pancakes, and bacon." He told me. I sipped the orange beverage. "And this beverage?" I asked pointing to it. "It's orange juice." He told me as he ate his food.

"It all tastes so good! I wish to learn how to build the meals!" I said happily. He chuckled. "Yeah..I'll teach you some recipes." We ate the delicious food and I started to observe the Earthling.

He had dark hair but he also had images on his arms and crystals in his ears. Does that cause pain for him?

I also noticed that, unlike the Earthlings on our database, he does not smile.

"You are very ugly." I said as I smiled eating the food. "So blunt...y'know...I don't make actual breakfast for just anybody y'know. You could've kept that to yourself." Huh??

"Have I said something wrong?" I asked. "You just called me ugly." The Earthling said in a tone.

Ugly- Unpleasant or repulsive, especially in appearance.

Ultimate- Being or happening at the end of a process; final.

Untimely- Happening or done at an unsuitable time.

Unique- Being the only one of its kind; unlike anything else.

"Oh! Sorry! I meant unique! You are actually quite...pretty?"

"Oh now your insulting me." He said laughing. "But what do you mean unique?" He asked. I smiled. "Well it's just...you don't smile as much as the other Earthlings in our data base."

He got up to go to the sink with his dish. "Yeah...I'm not a big fan of smiling." He put his dish in the dish rack and picked up his bag.

"Well I'll be going now. Please feed Chico. I forgot to feed him this morning." He stated, grabbing his coat. "Where will you be going?" I asked. "School."

School?

"What is school?"

"A boring prison full of teachers and parasites with lots and lots of books." I got wide eyed. A memory of home rushed into mind.

"Don't go there! Why would any earthling go there?!" I did not want for him to go anywhere unsafe...

"Sorry I was joking. It's actually a place of learning and education." I sighed in the relief. "When will you be back from 'school'?" I asked. "Around 4:30. I'll be leaving right after to go to work though. See ya." He shut the door.

Work?

I grabbed my dish like the Earthling did and brought it to the sink. I grabbed a bottle of liquid like he did and put it on a towel. I wiped the towel on the dish on the back and front. Finally, I turned the sink on and rinsed it.

I put it in the sunlight of the window and smiled. Rule Two: Contribution!

I learned how to wash a dish from the Earthling. Maybe if I observe the house I will learn more...

I walked into the Earthling's other living space. It looked very similar to the living space he has let me sleep in.

I opened a drawer and inside were clothings. I picked up a peice of clothing for legs. Shorts.

They had hearts on them in a pattern of black and white. Above the bed was a name, I believe, in blue.

D-Y-L-A-N

Who is Dylan? Maybe an Earthling known by my Earthling?

I continued to observe. In the drawer was a paper book. An image was on the front of a woman Earthling.

She barely has on any of the garments! Is Dylan a pervert?

[●●●]

Mew!

I looked down as I floated. "Oh sorry Chico you must be hungry!"

We headed to the kitchen with him in my arms. I looked around for tiny beast food. I found a bag with a similar tiny beast on it. "This must be your food. The tiny beast looks like you." I opened the bag only to find small bite-sized food.

I picked one out. "Your food is small but I suppose it fits for a tiny beast like you." Chico looked at me as if expecting something. "Come on Chico. The Earthling said I have to feed you!"

[●●●]

I went into the living space that the Earthling has let me use. "Chico! Where are you?" I asked, holding the crumb. Mew!

"Come back Chico! Come ba-"

SLIP! CRASH!

"Uh oh..."

[●●●]

"Zynx!" I heard the Earthling call. "Zynx?"

"Greetings, Earthling! I tried to fulfill rule two, of the contribution. I did have trouble feeding Chico." I stated.

"It's okay." He said putting his stuff down. "What else have you done today?"

"Oh! I have done many things today!" I told him as he followed me to the kitchen.

"But like-"He went wide eyed.

"What?" I asked.
