[ WP ] Humanity is the only race in the galaxy with such a massive lack of common sense that we 're the only species that requires laws to form societies . Other races just form naturally and are shocked when confronted with humanities laws and regulations .

Thomas stepped into his backyard. The blinking lights and saucer hovering in the sky like a boat floating in water could only mean one thing, it finally happened. They finally made contact. 
 
 He rushed under the craft and looked up. A being descended, like a god from the heavens. His whole life, he's been waiting for this moment, to finally meet the aliens he knew would visit. These would save him from his life, his abusive family, and all the horrendous acts the people at school did to him. All his life he was tormented, he almost could n't believe that it's happening already. 
 
 He cried out from deep within himself. `` Are you here to save me?!'' 
 
 The alien, now obviously a hologram, was still descending. 
 
 `` Are you the Angels I've been dreaming about? The aliens that would come a save me?'' 
 
 The holographic alien, a beautifully feminine alien landed, floating mere inches above the ground. `` Yes we are. Do you want to leave your planet?'' 
 
 `` Yes! Yes I do!'' He shouted, running into her warm, safe arms. They started ascending. `` I knew it. I knew I would be saved.'' He looked into her eyes, and she looked back with the utmost sympathy. The first time he's felt sympathy in his entire life. 
 
 `` We aliens,'' she said, `` are a very proud and advanced race. You humans might not understand, but we do n't have rules. We do n't need rules. Most people's DNA are so close to your barbaric ancestors, that without rules, you would fall into chaos, into the tragic impulses of a time we've forgotten.'' 
 
 `` I understand!'' Thomas replied, `` I live in a place were the rules are n't enforced, so I've experienced what happens without them firsthand.'' 
 
 `` I just wish your kind had the common sense to follow rules - to have the decency not to steal, or murder, or tell someone else what to do. It's common sense in our culture.'' 
 
 Tomas nodded. `` Me too.'' 
 
 `` But you're different. I chose you to join our race because you're better than everyone else on this hell of a planet. You are a warrior of free speech, you are kind and courteous to every woman you meet, and above all, you're a redditor, the holy grail of human kind.'' 
 
 `` I know. I wish everyone recognized that. I just wish... People knew how much better I am. Not for my sake, but for theirs. I'm just happy that I'm finally going to a place where I belong, among a superior species, who are nicer, stronger, and smarter than any human I know.'' Tomas said. 
 
 `` I'm happy you realize that you deserve to be a part of our superior race. Now, how about I get you in my hover craft and show you my room?'' She said, the comforting hologram staring longingly into Thomas's eyes. 
 
 Her eyes were n't full of lust, but with love. 
 
 The entry to the ship opened, allowing Tomas to rise into the alien's home. 
 
 Then the world shook, artifacts started showing up in the sky, as the skybox and many other textures failed to load. The beam shut off, and he felt himself falling as the world disappeared. 
 
 He came to his senses inside of his holodeck, and saw his mother unplugging the power. 
 
 `` What the hell mother!? What did I tell you about interrupting my immersion time?!'' 
 
 `` Oh dear son, I'm sorry, I do n't know how to talk to you with this fancy new technology.'' 
 
 `` It's fine mother,'' Tom said, crossing his arms, `` what is important enough to warrant interrupting me?'' 
 
 `` I just wanted to say it's time for dinner.'' 
 
 `` Ok, I'll be there.'' 
 
 His mom smiled, and walked out of the impressive room. 
 
 `` I know you're still in there honey...'' Tomas said, `` I'll be back.'' 
 
 He checked his Apple watch. Yep, still 2016. There really were no aliens, and he never got to go on a 20-year joyride. 
 
 As if they would really appear anyway, scientists proved we were alone in the universe last August. But he never stopped believing. Maybe they really were out there, and only the people truly enlightened could detect them. 
 
 He sat down at the dining table. 
 
 `` Tommy, I'm worried about you.'' Mother said. 
 
 `` How so?'' 
 
 `` Well, first of all, you spend all your free time with your alien girlfriend...'' 
 
 Tomas could n't believe this. `` She's not my girlfriend!'' 
 
 `` And whenever you're not with her, you act sad and depressed. There's more to life than your little holodeck you know.'' 
 
 `` That's because everyone not in that room does n't understand me! They all treat me like an alien! Just like what you're doing right now!'' 
 
 Mother looked towards him with sympathy... But not real sympathy. Misguided sympathy. `` I'm sorry if you feel that way, but one day you'll have to start living your own life, and aliens wo n't save you. Whenever bad things happen you wo n't always have your room to hide in.'' 
 
 Thomas shrugged, acknowledging the reality in front of him, confused about what to do about it, and hiding that insecurity by acting apathetic. 
 
 `` And your father and I saw what you have been googling. Are aliens real, how can I be saved, will the truth set me free... I think we have enough proof to say you're seeking an escape from something. What's bothering you?'' 
 
 Tomas had it. A serious breach of trust, interrupting an immersion, calling his alien `` his girlfriend,'' and worst of all, serving a chocolate mint cake with orange juice as desert. I mean, who does that? 
 
 Tom stood up. `` I'm not hungry,'' and ran up to his room. 
 
 He booted up the holodeck, and watched the world form around him, until he felt like he was floating in the arms of the most beautiful alien he knew. 
 
 He looked into her eyes. They were still the same eyes, with the same expression. 
 
 Yet he felt uneasy. Why does he feel so wrong about an alien loving him? Why is n't he just as immersed as before? 
 
 `` Is something wrong?'' The alien asked, eyes full of sympathy. 
 
 Tomas looked into her eyes. `` Do you care about me?'' 
 
 `` Yes,'' she said, `` I'm in love with you Thomas, and I'll care about you no matter what. You know that right? We do n't have rules, but I do n't need them to know that I love you.'' 
 
 Tomas looked up in the ship he wanted to spend the rest of his life in. Then he looked down. 
 
 `` Put me down,'' Thomas said, `` I'm going home.''
