"I-I don't know. I can't believe what you said although I'm seeing it with my own eyes..." Alex stuttered. "Why a zoo? Does anybody else know about this? Is my growing up somehow related to all of this?"
"I understand you have tons of questions but explaining everything could take hours." Max said. "Let's go inside. I'll tell you more after we take a drink."
Max, Jax and Rex went to the giant dollhouse and Alex followed them. As they walked, Alex realized that they're still wearing only speedos but the weather was so nice that he didn't mind about it. When they came in the house, Max opened the fridge and took several beer cans. He gave one to Jax, one to Rex and then he gave one to Alex.
"Thanks but I don't drink alcohol." Alex said.
"Is it because you don't like it or because you didn't have one before." Rex asked him as he opened his can. "You're not a kid, dude. Nobody cares if you drink a can or two."
"I'm fine for now." Alex replied. "Will you tell me more about this place?"
"Max, tell him." Jax commanded. "I'm getting impatient. I wanna go back to the beach!"
"Ok, Alex." Max said. "I'll begin with your question. First, the zoo. As you can see this place is as big as an earthling neighborhood and several people live here. It simulates a western lifestyle with houses, plants and even food according to that. This place was built by the Intergalactic Nations Organization and they take care of all our needs. They supply us with food, water, electricity, etc."
"We even have WiFi and Netflix." Rex interfered.
"Yes, we don't have to worry about almost anything except for monotony." Jax said. "That's why the INO made us those portals."
"Do you want to tell him or what?" Max said a little upset to Jax who just briefly shook his head. "Thanks. Well, as they said we have several portals who connect the zoo to planet Earth. However, they're strategically placed in your planet so we can't escape through them. We need to come back every night. It's not like we want to escape we're accustomed here."
"Scientists and biologist also used those portals to investigate human behavior and improve our quality of life." Jax said. "That's how they developed this." He pulled his speedo waistband and released it hitting his waist at the process. "These are new!"
"New?" Alex replied.
"Yes." Max continued. "Our ancestors used to stay naked all the time because most of aliens don't wear clothes. However, after hundreds of years studying human behavior, the INO realized that humans need to cover their genitals because they're continuously exposed."
"But they just didn't make us clothes. They added some technology in them." Rex said.
"Yes. As I told you, humans are endangered so they needed us to reproduce as much as we can." Max said. "So, they created machines that can create human babies but they needed an organic component, our seed."
"Kids can't produce seed so these speedos accelerate their growth." Rex said. "You can make babies now. You're welcome!"
Alex blushed after hearing that. He knew about semen and puberty but he didn't want to be a baby factory yet. He can't even watch a woman breast without feeling ashamed. "And, what's the frat you're talking about?"
"Our community is called the frat because is integrated by guys in the epitome of manhood." Jax said. "We've learned a lot about guys this age through movies and TV shows and we like it."
"Yes, but the INO thinks that we need some leadership to keep our environment in control. That's why they created this." Rex took a box and opened it in front of Alex.
"Rings?" Alex asked as he watched two black metal rings inside the box.
"Yep, that's your punishment." Jax said. "We called them DDR, or Daddy Dick Rings" Alex didn't like how it sounded. "It goes in your peehole and it ages further your prime until you're as old as a middle age human."
Alex didn't say a word for a moment, everyone was quiet as well. Then, he suddenly tried to run away but he was easily tackled by Jax and Rex.
"No!! No!! I don't wanna be older!!" Alex yelled as he struggled to get free.
"It's temporary." Max said as he took a ring from the box. "You'll be back to normal later. I promise."
"No!! No!! No!! I don't want it! I don't want it!!"
"Hurry Max!!" Jax said as he hold Alex's arms. "The zoo is going to open in any moment."
