OOC:
Bullshot's idea, not mine. He just let me start the ball rolling

Sandra wasn’t the type of person who enjoyed resorts. No, she was a workaholic, very hyperactive, much more likely to spend her evenings working late at the office than sunbathing in the hot afternoon sun. First one into her cubicle, last one to leave the job: such had been her way of life for the past three years.
Unfortunately, at the moment, she had none; no office (unless you counted the closet-sized space she had cleared in her tiny apartment to that effect), and certainly no job. Her roommate had insisted she take advantage of the “free all expenses paid, dream vacation” she had won on that stupid gameshow she liked to watch. She had no doubt this was some kind of ploy to get her out of the apartment so Cassandra could freely roam around the apartment naked, or sacrifice a small mammal to some obscure deity... or something.
Sandra had resisted, whining that she’d have nothing to do, alone on the strange planet-resort, but in the end she had given up to the redhead’s pitch. “Maybe you’ll find a nice piece of meat to rock your world.” her roommate had pitched. Coming from anyone else, she would have assumed a joke; after living with Cassie for three years, she knew better...
She hated vacations. It reminded her acutely of that family field trip she had taken when she was still a senior. She had spent the first half skulking on a tree stump somewhere in Indiana, and the second half cooped up in an hospital room with her dad, who’d somehow mistaken a hedgehog for a base-ball...
Yet, here she lay under the hot New Terra sun, her skin unevenly oily from the fast application of lotion around her bright blue bikini, her wavy chestnut hair plastered on her shoulders by the artificially softened honeydew wind.
She raised an arm and scratched her noise, carefully avoiding to muck up the morbidly expensive sunglasses Cassie has lent her. She had taken a nap this morning after unpacking her small case in the depressingly festive suite that had awaited her on arrival to New Terra. She had been awakened about ten minutes ago by a young man, no more than nineteen years old, that had canon-balled into the pool directly ahead, sending a refreshing rain of tiny water crystals all over her body.
She straightened on the mildly hovering lawn bed just as the boy who had awakened her pulled himself from the pool, goofing around with his late-teen buddies. ‘Yummy!’ she thought immediately, staring at his impressively sculpted body, suddenly feeling silly at her schoolgirl reaction. ‘You really need to get laid’ she echoed Cassie’s words and grinned slightly, pulling herself up with little grace from the poolside reclining chair. ‘I swear’ she swore under her breath ‘they don’t ever want you rising up from these damn things!’
As Sandra got her bearings, she realized she must have dozed off for longer than she had thought since a large portion of the common area’s population had dissipated. She turned around with a bit of guilty pleasure just in time to see the senior hunk walk away from the pool with his friends. She took this last chance to check his hot bod out one last time before he walked out of view, behind bluish trees that could have been cedars had they been on Earth.
She frowned, unsure of her own eyes, and focused her sight on the trio’s arms. In the pool, the shimmering motion of the water had masked it, but their arms were in fact not arms at all. Actually, they looked more like some kind of... tentacles.
They had to be Zorg, she concluded. She suddenly realized that she had never met one face to face. She had seen plenty on TV though. The Zorg were quite prominent in the intergalactic industry. And after all, Ohio wasn’t exactly the centre of commerce for the galaxy...
The Human race had known for a long time that it had not been alone in the universe, but it was still fairly young in the expanse of the dozens of known species in the galaxy. Sandra remembered her grandfather telling her stories of times when no one had ever dreamed of sharing a meal with an otherworldly being. Of a period in their history when the total isolation of Earth had been considered to avoid “contamination of the Terrans” as it was historically referred to. Such realities persisted even today, however diminishing in number.
Sandra, however, spent very little time worrying about such matters. She had never admitted it to anyone, but she had actually fantasized about sex with a non-human, as they were sometimes somewhat-anthropocentrically referred to. She briefly remembered hearing Cassie rant on the Zorg sexual exploits, but then again, when wasn’t Cassie prattling on about sex...
When she bent down and picked up her sandals, a shower of items fell to the ground. Ever since she was a little girl, she had always stuffed her valuables in her shoes when she took them off. Just another stupid habit she had never kicked. The fact that she was wearing toe-off sandals had somehow not registered today and she swore as she saw her belongings scatter across the green grass, then bent down to pick them up.
