I Caught My Mother In Bed With A Homicidal Space Queen and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt

MY PHONE FELL, SLOWLY AND spinning, off the balcony and down into the gaping plaza below. It disappeared into a thicket of bulbous, glowing plant life featuring orange tendrils and fierce green flowers. On the one hand, the alien flora might have saved it from breaking. On the other hand… I did not want to go rooting around in that stuff to get it back. It looked radioactive. Maybe I’d end up with six breasts.

Mum didn’t even see me at first. “Aaron!” she shouted furiously up to the balcony, dragging the sheet up to wrap more thoroughly around her. “What are you doing here?”

“Who’s Aaron?” I hissed, still so stunned by the loss of my phone that I couldn’t come to terms with anything else that was happening right now.

Griff looked as if all his birthdays had come at once. “I think—” he said, and glanced at The Dark.

He had a name. Wow.

“That’s off the record, Tina,” The Dark growled down at her. “Isn’t it obvious why we’re here? We’re your rescue party.”

Megadethra laughed, tipping back her long silvery neck and cackling like every B-grade villain ever. Her flat stomach rippled with amusement.

Tina Valentina’s impatient gaze flicked over the rest of us and I saw the moment that she recognised me. I gave her a small wave. “Hey.”

She stayed very still, like if she didn’t move, this might not be happening.

“You know,” said Griff in a low voice. “Probably the reason I never understood the terror of walking in on any of my parents having sex is because I’m an orphan. But I’m starting to get it.”

“That is really not helpful right now,” I sighed.
