"Wh-what did you say?"
"I mean, you can live with me if you want. You know you have no friends or relatives on earth, so I thought if you want, you can just live with me here. And also, I have no brother or friends, so if you can be my friend, I will be glad."
"B-but won't it cause you trouble? Like, is it okay to keep an alien in your home? After all, we are not the same; we can't live normally."
"You are right. But you know It would be great if I could keep you with me. We could be brothers. And it would be so good if I had a brother who is from space. Hehe…"
"But what if someone else finds out about us?"
"Ummm, you know we can just say you are a homeless boy that we got from the street, and now you are living with us? Even though I am not so sure that I can convince my parents, I will try my best and somehow manage to convince them to keep you with me. Ok?"
"Aren't you scared? If the spices that destroyed our planet know I am hiding here, they will surely attack us. And to be honest, I don't think humans can defend themselves because they're so powerful."
"Hey, wait a minute. Didn't you say that you want my help because you want to know how to survive on earth? So when you know that the other planet's going to attack you, why are you trying to live here?"
"No. I Didn't mean that I would be living here forever. I am living here temporarily. You know my spaceship got a crash landing. So many parts of my spaceship got damaged, so I'm thinking when I get my resources back, I will repair my spaceship and get out of here."
"Oh. Ok! But what if they found you before you could repair your spaceship? Won't we all die?"
"Oh! Yeah, you don't have to be scared about that. I have a special system for that. I have an artificial intelligence that always helps me wherever I go. Actuary It's connected to my cells. So it knows what I need and what I want. So it always makes things easy for me. Like, do you know how I can speak your language? It's because of my AI, and because of that, I know some basic information about planet Earth. But at the end of the day, it's just an AI. It doesn't know much about Earth's clutter and other stuff, so i-
"What the hell are you saying? Didn't I ask you about what will happen if they find you out before you can repair your spaceship?"
"Ok, ok, sorry. I just go with the flow. So what I am saying is that they can't find me so soon. Because first, I am billions of light years away from them, and second, they can't find me because I am not an alien anymore. I am human now. hehe
"Wh-what? Are you half-mental? How can you be a human? Are you an idiot?"
"No Brother No, I am not an idiot. I am half human now, and also your brother."
"Shut up, idiot! How can you be a human? And also, how can you be my brother?"
"Listen, when we are talking, I scanned your body, and while you didn't notice me, I cut a bit of your hand and got your blood from there, and from cells, I copied your DNA and because my technology is so advanced. I managed to make myself a half human with your blood and DNA, so now you can say I am your real blood-related brother. Hehe. And didn't you say you wanted to make me your brother? Did you change your mind?"
"No I Didn't change my mind. It's Just, It's so sudden. So i don't know what to say but to be honest that's so good. Now you are my real brother. Haha."
"Yeah. And also, don't you think I look older than you? I guess I should change my body shape."
"Huh?! You can do that also? Awesome! BTW, now that I think about it, What's your real age?"
"Oh! My real age? I guess I am something around 200 years old. "I'm not so sure about that; it might be more or less than 200 years."
"Oh! You are so much older than me, but it doesn't look like it from your body. Hehe."
"Yeah, ok, wait. Let me change my body. I guess you're something like 15–16 years old. So now I am going to change the shape of my body. Wait for a few minutes, and it will be done."
Then his body started to change. And after some time, his body completely changed. Nobody would believe that he was the guy a few minutes ago. Now he looks like a 15- to 16-year-old kid.
"Man! You just changed your whole body, but the hair is still the same."
"Yeah. I don't want to change my hair color because on my planet, green is a common color; everyone there has green hair, so to tribute them, I didn't change my hair color."
"Oh, ok. Hey, now that I think about it, I don't know your name. What's your name? My name is 'Rayan'."
"Oh! Yeah. You are right; we didn't exchange our names hehe. My name is 'TB34-XJ'."
"What the… "Did you just tell me your car number plate?"
"No, no. XJ is my name, and TB34 is my version."
"What! Why do you have versions? Are you a robot?"
"No. It's just, you know, like you guys, we don't give birth; we make babies on a special machine where we just have to give some organs,cells, DNA, or blood to make babies. That's how we were born. And to take care of us, we got a caretaker for 22 years, and after that, we were free to do what we like. Like yours, we don't have parents or relatives."
"Oh, so that's how it is. You know, I don't know much about your planet. Hehe."
"Yeah, I can understand. But to be honest, I don't like my name that much. So I am thinking about changing my name. What do you think of it, brother?"
"Uhm, if you are really changing your name, then can I choose it?"
"Yeah, for sure."
"Uhm, I am not so good at names, but if it's you, I will try my best." After thinking for some time, he replied, "Then I guess I will call you 'Mahi' from now on." "I hope you liked that name."
"WoW! It's really a good name. I like it. So from now on, I am Mahi. Hehe."
"Yes."
After sometime of talking, Mahi said,
"Hey brother, did you think of anything about how you will manage your parents for me?"
"I did, though. I think I will tell them about us tomorrow morning. I hope they let you stay with me. I will tell them how you are my half brother. So I guess they accept you, but I am not so sure about that. Because they are not so intelligent and they don't know anything about that alien stuff. They will probably think you will hurt me. So I am scared that they won't accept you, but I am going to try my best. So don't worry, brother.``
"Umm, you know, brother. I have been thinking about that from the start. I can make it so easy, but I need your help. So firstly, tell me how many people know you. Like, you are the only son of your parents? How many people know that?"
After thinking for a while, Rayan replied,
"Uhm, including my parents and some relatives, my school teachers, and I guess some more people." "So I guess it's around 900 to 1,000 people who know that I am the only son of my parents."
"Ok." "It's a high number of people, but I think I can make it."
"Hey, Mahi, what are you going to do?"
"I am going to manipulate all of their minds and change their memories. So from now on, they will think that we are real brothers and accept us without any explanation or other things. So it's good for us, even though I don't know if I can control that many people's minds. But I will try my best, and if I can't change one or two people's mind, there would've no problem because when they see everyone agreeing that we are real brothers, they will think that they mistaken us. So it would be no problem, but after using that much power, I don't think I can wake up for one or two weeks, so good night, brother. Hehe."
"H-hey, that's so amazing and also you are so powerful. You can even change people's mind wow! so Because of your power now we can live together without any problems ha? That's so good. But now i feel so sleepy so I think for now I should just sleep. See you later good night."
"Good night."
After that, Mahi's body started to glow, twenty minutes later he stopped glowing and became unconscious and his body fell on the floor. Then Rayan put him on the bed and laid him down, and after that, Rayan slept next to Mahi.
