Bleach: Ultimate Alien

Chapter 17: Bonus Chapter Meet the Parents

Carl and Sandra Tennyson were sitting on the couch in their living room, trying to make sure that what they were seeing wasn't a dream. Their son Ben, who had disappeared and gone missing for over a month, had just come back out of nowhere. Both had been so happy to see their boy again. However, now...now their house contained a group of people they had never met before.

Carl was eyeing the men with suspicion. Ever since he got caught up in all this alien business, he had learnt never to judge by appearance. Even though all the men in his house had proper clothing on, he didn't just hand out his trust to them. For now, all those men were guilty until proven innocent. Especially that short one with the long black hair that he almost thought was a girl if it hadn't been for the suit. There was something off about him, even more so than the others.

Sandra on the other hand was eyeing the girls with suspicion. Not so much the little blonde haired girl, but the five other women. Three of them looked to be around Ben's age but then there were the two women next to them. Was that one girl's green hair her real hair? Of course, normal people didn't have green hair but for some reason her hair just didn't appear to be dyed. But hair color wasn't her real concern. She was more concerned with what these girls relationship might be with Ben. She remembered the first day Ben had brought Julie home to meet her and Carl. They had been very fond of Julie and were saddened when Ben had broken up with her. And well...with Ben being gone for a month...she was a little worried about these five girls. She fidgeted in her seat. What might have happened to Ben during an entire month by himself with five beautiful girls? Well, she was more worried about the three girls that looked the same age as Ben. She shouldn't worry about the two older women, right?

"Mom," Ben said, trying to lighten the mood. "Dad, I'd like you to meet Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck, Tia Harribel, Apacci, Mila Rose, Sung-Sun, Pesche, Dondochakka, Coyote Starrk, Lilynette Gingerback, Ulquiorra Cifer, Gantenbainne Mosqueda, Charlotte Cuulhourne, Avirama Redder, Ggio Vega, Nirgge Parduoc, Findor Carias, and Choe Neng Poww." He looked at his friends. "Guys, I'd like you to meet my parents; Carl and Sandra Tennyson."

"Hello!" Nelliel said with a sweet smile on her face.

Harribel bowed her head. "Greetings."

Apacci, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun bowed their heads politely.

"Hi!" Pesche and Dondochakka both cheered. "Nice to meet you."

"Hey," Starrk said lazily. Then he got a kick in the butt from Lilynette.

"What kind of hello was that?" Lilynette demanded. She then gave a peace sign with her fingers at Sandra and Carl. "Hey, how's it going?"

"Greetings, Carl and Sandra Tennyson," Ulquiorra said, bowing his head like Harribel had done. Gantenbainne followed suit. Charlotte, however, had a much more enthusiastic approach.

"Mr. and Mrs. Tennyson!" he cried dramatically. "It is an honor to meet the parents of a beautiful soul like Ben's!"

Carl and Sandra stared dumbfounded as Charlotte moved aside to let Redder greet them.

"You should be proud of your son," he said. "He's a pretty cool guy."

Vega on the other hand gave out a stiff, "Hello," that caused Ben to frown at him but the tiger Arrancar didn't notice and it was likely he didn't care even if he did. Nirgge went first and simply said, "Hello," as well. By now, Nelliel and Harribel were looking at the two. Findor and Poww went next.

"Mr. and Mrs. Tennyson," Findor said. "We would not be here today if it was not for your son's mercy and kindness. We are honored to meet his parents." Poww gave a deep bow of agreement.
