Aliens Stole My Alien Parents
Decided to try this scenario with a twist or two. The Zeezoob family just immigrated to Earth, settling in a small house in Copperdale. As soon as they got the basics unpacked, Mara and Oliver's da...

Day 2
Mara and Oliver went to bed in the little cots their dads had bought for them, "just for now," while they were getting settled. Sleeping all in one room wasn't unusual for Sixa, but Mara wasn't fond of this bed. They were supposed to get better beds soon. Mara decided she'd put on her best begging act for dads in the morning. When they would be back. They would have to be back by then.

In the morning, they weren't back. But Mara had something more important on her mind: her first day of high school. She decided to dress classy for the first day. She wanted to make an impression on her peers.

She made an impression all right, but it seemed Copperdale teens didn't take kindly to a bright-eyed mischievous green alien in a black dress. She ran into this girl Molly in the bathroom

Who immediately started making fun. Well, Mara could dish it right back.

In her first class there was this boy who was wearing a disguise. Mara hadn't realized humans might wear disguises too. That was interesting. She wondered why.

She tried to get to know him
https://i.postimg.cc/J7J6cZgp/05-jeb2.png
He didn't like it.

And then at lunch there was this boy who didn't like anything or anybody.

"Are all the students here going to be backward, ignorant and mean," muttered Mara to herself.

"Yeah, mostly," said the girl to her left. "Not much culture here in Middle Copperdale. I like your dress. Nice to see that some people respect themselves enough to dress classy."

"That's exactly what I was going for," said Mara with relief.

Her name was Cassandra. (Cassandra was the first teen sim not to respond to Mara with a Very Angry mood and Unpleasant Conversation tone upon introduction.)
Mara felt much better in her afternoon class. It was science, which she loved, and she had made a friend.

Maybe all you really need to be happy in life is one good friend.
Mara was feeling so happy at the end of the day that she agreed to take Oliver to the library.

And even to play chess with him.

But then Oliver got talking to Toru the librarian and Mara wandered over to the computer.
The computer was an annoyingly complicated and slow way to access knowledge. She struggled with it, trying to find out anything she could about her dads. Had they registered their craft in port anywhere? Had they crash-landed on Earth and generated any news reports? And she hated to be so crass, but if they were going to be gone a long time, was there any way she could access her family's bank accounts?
"Hi, I think we have a class together," said a teen girl behind her.
"Hi. Do you have any advice on accessing the Earth information repository?" asked Mara with some irritation.
"Uh, I can look something up for you on my phone?"

Her name was Gemma. She had a grumpy vibe but she really did try to help Mara.
"Thanks for not being mean to me just because I'm not from here," said Mara.
"Meh, everyone at school is basically a weird alien," said Gemma. "You're no different. Are your dads really missing? That's terrible. And kind of cool."
They talked for a little while. Then Gemma went home. Mara spent a while trying to hack into the bank.

Meanwhile, Toru the librarian helped Oliver with his homework. Oliver thought Toru was wonderful.

Unsuccessful in her hacking efforts, Mara and Oliver went home, where they tried to make a salad.
Mara hates cooking.
Oliver tried to cheer her up. "Hey, donut be so crabby! Get it? It's an Earth food joke!"
Mara hates Oliver's jokes.
https://i.postimg.cc/C1j8dGM2/donut-be-so-crabby.png
The salad was terrible.
"This is really terrible," said Oliver.
"Like it or not, it's what we're eating for our next 6 meals," said Mara. At least, if I can't get to our money before then, she thought to herself.

She didn't want to worry Oliver, but she was getting really worried.
