The day of first contact was a very special one, or so the news would have you believe. For me, a twenty-something with an office job downtown, it was just an average Tuesday. A few months later when they announced that our new alien friends would be sending a select few ambassadors to live amongst us and observe our Earthling culture, I thought it was a neat idea, but not much else.

The government announced that all citizens would be placed into a lottery and the names chosen would have the new aliens as a sort of intergalactic foreign exchange student living with them for a year. Everyone had the right to opt out of the program, but since my chances were literally one in millions, I didn't bother. The plan was to put everyone into the lottery so that the aliens could get a wide view of human life from the rich upper class, all the way down to the homeless. I didn't even bother watching the live televised event from Times Square.

Nearly a year since we first made contact, on an average Tuesday like any other, I walked from tbe train station towards my small apartment in the city, only to find the building surrounded by police and news crews. I had been selected. There waiting for me on my couch, was my new alien-girl roommate!

I dropped my laptop bag to the carpet, staring at her, my mouth slightly open. I was shocked!

"Mr. Jones, please shut your mouth. You're being rude to your new guest. It's best to make a good first impression, the two of you will be spending at least a year together after all." A short woman with dark hair, dark sunglasses, and a dark navy suit and skirt. She looked right out of the X-Files.

" Ugh, who are you?" I say, finally managing to to pull myself together.

"I'm Agent Smith, your new Human-ET liaison. I'm here to make sure you represent humanity in all its glory. If you would follow me over to that corner you call the kitchen, I'll explain everything."

I looked from the earth woman, to the space woman and shook my head. Why me... I think. I notice the alien woman wearing some sort of small headset. Agent Smith must have noticed me staring, "She's being briefed by her people just as I'm supposed to brief you. Now, follow me." She said with no room for me to argue. So, I followed her the ten or so feet from my living room to the kitchen.

"First and foremost you must make your housemate as comfortable as possible." She read from a prepared statement. "You are to keep them safe and make sure they experience only positive interactions while in your care. You are never to allow your guest to leave your sight."

"But I've got work." I interrupted.

Agent Smith fixed such a glare on me that I felt a chill run down my spine, all without taking off her dark sunglasses. "To compensate you for your loss of job during this year the government is prepared to pay you a healthy stipend, as well as covering your rent for the year."

"Oh, that's actually kind of cool." I say without thinking.

"Yes. Cool indeed. Now, Mr. Jones I must tell you the last and final rule. This rule is the most important of all. You are not, I repeat, NOT to have any sort of relations with your guest outside of familial friendship. Do I. Make. Myself. Clear?"

I gulp," Y-yes ma'am."

"Good. Because I will be stopping by at random to insure this does not happen. We will always be watching, Mr. Jones. Remember that. Now, let's go meet your new best friend, shall we?"

Oh man! This is my life for the next year? I think to myself. Babysitter to a hot alien-girl and this spooky agent spying on us the entire time. Oh well, wasn't like I was getting laid anytime soon to begin with...

I picture this as a longer rp. First, getting to know each races' customs and then (maybe through hilarious misunderstandings?) we begin to build tension and lust after each other. Let me know if you'd like to tweak any of it!
