Beep’s eyes got teary again. “Bob-mother not Beep mother?”

Lani kicked me. “Of course he’s your mother. Isn’t that right, Bob?”

I gritted my teeth. “Yes, Beep. I’m your new mother. Are we all happy now?”

Beep clapped. “Beep say yay!”

Lani put her hand on Beep. “Nothing’s more important than family and friends, Beep.”

“Especially on Astroween,” I added.

“Beep wish more Beeps come for sock or sweet,” Beep said. “Bob-mother bring?”

I wasn’t about to break it to him that even if I knew where to find his home planet, I doubted one of his siblings would make an intergalactic trip for a made-up holiday. But I felt I owed him, so I said, “I’ll tell you what, Beep. I’ll send out an invitation. Just promise me you won’t get your hopes up.”

Beep bounced. “Hopes up! Hopes up!”

I went to my computer and opened Spacebook, which is how we post random messages out to space. “What should we say?”

Beep thought for a moment. “Hmm . . .”

“Make it honest,” Lani said. “Sweet, but not too sappy. Simple, but not too—”

“CANDY FREE COME! CANDY FREE COME!” Beep said.

I typed that in and hit enter.

“And now that that’s done, let’s get ready,” I said. “Because no matter what happens, one thing’s for sure: Tomorrow is going to be the best Astroween ever!”
