Sometimes, I do not know what I would do without my little sister Madison.  Sometimes, I wish I could have left her behind on our home world or that she would disappear in some unstable wormhole, but this time, I am glad she is around.

Madison is, as I have said on numerous occasions, an expert on human emotions, particularly female emotions.  I would like to think that if we did ever get back to our home world, she would write quite the career making paper on the subject.  For the time being, I am content with knowing she can help me with my failed understanding of April’s behavior.

Despite my assumptions to the contrary, April was still concerned with the amount of time I have spent with my alien brethren.  I suppose she was somewhat jealous that they could be taking away my affections from her.  My sister did point out that several of our female kind have taken on rather appealing forms.  I was inclined to agree on a purely scientific basis, but that lead to part of the jealousy.

It has also come to my attention that we are getting close to the date when I started discovering that there were more of my people out there, and that made April uneasy.  I still do not understand why, but Earth people place great significance on dates and anniversaries.  Accepting this concept as a truism makes it easier to understand why April would react in this way.

After understanding that and giving her the space that I did not want but I suppose she needed, I finally called April earlier this evening.  We will talk more tomorrow and have some things to straighten out, but it is a first step to reducing this space we have given each other.
