Epilogue
On Christmas Day, two videos went viral on social media.
The first originated in Germany and featured a mother in her yard with her toddler. His chubby hand gripped some oats, which he excitedly scattered, claiming Santa’s reindeer would need it because they were always hungry.
“It’s late. Let’s go inside,” the mother said, but the toddler instead pointed.
“Mama, look. It’s Santa!” the little tyke exclaimed, leading to the camera angle changing in time to capture a ball of red exploding into bright sparks in the night sky.
“Better hurry to bed before Krampus sees you and thinks you’re naughty,” said the mother with amusement.
Comments went wild as people debated whether or not she’d actually captured the first known footage of Santa.
Meanwhile, a second video, from across the world, shot by a curious lookee-loo showed a woman sobbing in the arms of her husband, who tried to explain to the police officers parked in their driveway that their baby had literally disappeared from its crib.
A sudden hum in the air led the person recording to turn quickly enough to catch the nativity scene in the front yard being bathed in light. When the illumination disappeared, the crying woman shoved her husband away, shrieking, “Marjorie!”
In the strangest Christmas miracle of all, the manger now held a squalling child instead of a plastic doll.
The comments on that video had the child proclaimed as the reborn Christ, while others speculated on alien abduction.
To everyone’s surprise, especially those convinced both videos were fake, the United States president made a statement.
“My dear Americans, the most unbelievable thing has happened. In the past few days, not one but two UAPs containing aliens visited our planet.”
The president actually told his people, and, in turn, the world, a brief summary of the calamity that almost befell them—which included footage provided by Beta of the alien ship, the Krampusonians, and their destruction—and loudly proclaimed to everyone that the fact they weren’t being invaded was directly due to the valiant actions of two blue hunks.
The president further went on to declare they would be signing a treaty that would make the Xamians their new intergalactic allies.
In return for the Xamians protecting them from the evil that might invade their planet, and for advancements in technology and medicine, they would be allowed to visit the planet.
No mention was made of their true purpose, finding brides, but Colette didn’t mind, since she still had much work to do getting that set up.
The next few months proved to be a blur for Colette and her hunks as they did interviews and introduced the Xamians to the world—and women. When they were ready to launch the new intergalactic dating service, they almost crashed on the first day from those trying to access the site.
The matchmaking service— Once You Go Blue—ended up being a roaring success. Women signed up in droves, and even after rigorous screening that involved asking them how they felt about relocating, children, and more, enough remained that Colette’s staff had to expand to accommodate the busy service.
The men of Earth might have been miffed at their reduced dating pool if it weren’t for the fact the Xamians agreed to train those eligible to become warriors in the new Galactic Battalion, whose primary function was to serve and protect Earth.
As a perk, those accepted for training were allowed to travel to other planets to deal firsthand with some of the potential threats—which also allowed these single men to meet and fuck alien females.
It was an insane year of hard work, and since Colette couldn’t leave the planet during that initial startup period, neither did her blue hunks. Despite having successfully completed their mission, they chose to remain with Colette while she girl-bossed the fuck out of her enterprise.
The following Christmas, the matchmaking business reached a point where it could roll along without her input, and so she decided to take a vacation.
She and her blue lovers had the most enjoyable trip to the planet Xaanda.
She’d never been fucked so much, and those lasers?
Perfect for a quick refresh so they could go again.
And again. Colette had finally found exactly what she needed to stay satisfied with her blue hunks.
Upon their arrival on Xaanda, she stared in stunned silence at the beautiful planet. Seeing it in pictures didn’t do justice to this place of incredible beauty that provided an example of how a civilization could enjoy modern amenities without ruining their planet.
Soon as they set foot off the ship, they were greeted by a tall blue man standing by a voluptuous woman, with the faintest blue tinge to her skin. She smiled widely and said, “Welcome! I’m Diana, and this is my mate, Kor.”
“Wait, the Diana and Kor?” Beta had mentioned them as examples of early mating attempts.
Apparently, Kor had shown up stark naked in Diana’s living room and announced he would be her leader.
Looking upon him, Colette had to wonder at Diana’s willpower because she would have definitely said, “Hell yeah.”
“I can’t believe you heard of us.” The corners of Diana’s eyes crinkled as she smiled widely. “I’m glad you found a better system for the warriors to meet their potential mates that doesn’t involve them showing up with their junk hanging out.”
“Not sure if that’s better. I might have listened to Cade sooner if he’d shown up in the buff.”
Diana laughed. “They are definitely nice to look at. I hope you had a good voyage over. A guest house has been prepared for your visit, but before we show you to it, the Oracle asked if you’d mind meeting with her first.”
The Oracle? Colette had heard enough to not want to waste the chance. “I would be delighted.”
They chatted on the way to the Oracle’s domain; Diana was the mother of five, with three of them girls, and the blueberries of their father’s eye. Colette told her about the dating service and how Earth women were going nuts. The males discussed the Krampusonian invasion and elimination.
Kor and Diana left them at the main entrance for the Oracle’s temple, with a promise to meet up with them later for dinner.
A nervous Colette hesitated before entering.
“What’s wrong?” Cade asked.
“This lady talks to ghosts. What if your ancestors don’t want us to be together?”
Jaspar snorted. “I don’t think they have a choice at this point.”
“Nothing will tear us apart,” Cade promised. They each put a hand in the middle of her back as they passed through the ornate arch. The acolyte who met them, gowned and veiled, brought them immediately into the Oracle’s presence.
To Colette’s surprise, the woman sprang to her feet with the vigor of youth that she wouldn’t have expected. She’d gotten the impression the oracle would be old, and maybe she was. She couldn’t tell, given the face covering hiding her features.
The Oracle spread her arms wide. “Welcome to Xaanda. I am delighted to finally get to meet the woman who’s ensured my people will thrive.”
“I’m glad I could help.”
The Oracle tilted her veiled head. “Jaspar and Cade. You did well.”
“Thank you, Oracle.” Her blue hunks bowed in thanks.
“Not only did you succeed in your mission, but you found your mate.”
“Er, what?” Cade stuttered.
“The ancestors are pleased you came to an agreement and formed a triad.”
“You expected this to happen?” Cade ogled the petite woman, whereas Jaspar frowned.
“Did you think you were chosen by chance? The ancestors sought long and hard for you both before finding Colette, the one female perfect for you both, but I knew if you were told ahead of time, your male pride would have made you balk.”
“Sneaky,” Colette said with a wag of her finger before laughing. “And brilliant. Thank you. I never thought I’d find love once, let alone times two.”
“Thanks to you, thousands more will get to experience the same joy. You have our gratitude.”
With that, their meeting with the Oracle ended, leaving Colette bemused as the hunks argued on the way out.
“We’re bonded? But we didn’t say the words,” Cade claimed.
“I thought them,” Jaspar admitted.
“Me too,” Cade sheepishly admitted.
To which Beta replied, “You idiots. Bonding doesn’t require a ritual or phrases. Bonding is about a meshing of spirits, and yours are most definitely intertwined.”
“So, we’re married?” Colette asked aloud, having yet to master the whole talking-to-Beta-via-her-embedded-transponder.
“Mated until death.”
Oddly enough, that didn’t bother Colette, and that night, she finally said the words she’d never dared before.
“I love you.”
And in reply, they made her see the most delightful stars.
Thanks for reading. I know it took me quite a bit of time for a new story in this series, but you know me, I wait for inspiration. And how could I resist the story of two alien mates?!
