“You invited him over?” Kara complained. “And what do you mean we’re fine? We’ve both changed!”
“I don’t know what you’re so worried about... It’s not like we’re in pain or anything...” Julia shrugged. “Besides, he might be able to add something to your theory.”
“What could he possibly contribute?” Kara argued. “If we are infected with something, wouldn’t we just be putting him in danger?”
“Nah, he’s definitely got it too if that’s the case.” Julia explained. “He was at the mall with some friends during the ... alien landing... But he didn’t see what you described. Must have been in a different part of the building.”
“He did tell me that he and a few friends were detained when they tried to leave. But they didn’t have to stay long since nobody had done anything wrong.”
“Well great...” Kara said, leaving for her bedroom. “I’m gonna get changed.”
“Why?” Julia asked as she settled onto the couch.
“I wasn’t expecting more company...” She replied, picking up a pile of dirty cloths as she went. “I should at least look a little civilized...”
Julia wasn’t sure what was wrong with the shorts and t-shirt Kara currently wore, but didn’t have time to question it before she disappeared down the hall.

After beating up a pillow to let out her pent up frustrations, she stood back up. He might have been her crush, but she wasn’t planning to drop her pants as soon as he came in. For now, she would just act normal and hope that Julia didn’t tell him about her groin.
Knowing that Henry would be there soon, she opted to change into one of her nicer skirts, then put on a blouse that showed a bit more cleavage. She brushed the tangles from her hair then applied some light makeup.
Now feeling a bit more sociable and slightly less anxious, she returned to the living room...
