tears. Never had she argued with her grandparents before. So at her grandmother’s acceptance and support, she half cried and half laughed. “Thanks, Grandma. I promise both of you that I will make you proud. I won’t let anyone take advantage of me.”
She could hear her grandfather as he sighed. “If anyone gives you a hard time, you call me. I have some friends at different spaceports that will be there if you need them.”
She wiped away a few stray tears. “Thanks, Grandpa. I’ll call you tomorrow.”
“We love you, baby girl,” her grandmother said.
“I love both of you, too. Bye.”
She laid back on the bed after hanging up the phone. That went better than she thought it would. Things could only get better after this. Right?

She was tired but honestly could not take a nap. There were too many loud and sexually excitable noises coming from the other bedroom. She took a quick shower and changed. The sounds were still going on. She put on her earplugs to listen to her music. She almost had to blast it because they were that loud. So she didn’t hear the knock on her door.
“Hello?” Coco walked into her room.
Maya was a little startled. She took out the earplugs and sat up. “Oh, hi. I couldn’t hear you because of my earplugs.”
“We were kind of loud, huh?”
Maya shrugged her shoulders. “Not too bad.”
Coco laughed. “You are such a bad liar. I know we were loud. Sorry about that. But man, he has a huge cock and he definitely knows how to use it to make a female feel good. I’m not sorry about that. But if I’m ever too loud, just pound on my door and let me know.”
“It was fine.” She couldn’t stop herself from blushing.
Maya followed Coco out of the suite and down the hallway to the elevators. “So are you and Zen boyfriend and girlfriend?” Why did she sound like she was in high school?
Coco laughed. “Oh no. Zen is fun, but he is not a one female kind of man. He’s just good for a good fuck, but any female with him should expect a no strings relationship.”
“You’re okay with that?” Maya was a little shocked. She had never been with anyone intimately. She was raised to believe that you should wait until you are with a special person, someone you want to be with for more than one night and one day. Preferably someone she would marry.
“No, of course not. I like my freedom too much right now. I am young and love having fun. A boyfriend would really put a dent in things.”

Chapter Four
Coco had taken her to a large banquet room that was set up with buffet tables full of food. She felt conspicuous walking in. All the men looked her over while some of the females ignored her altogether. But she knew they were all wondering the same thing. Was she a full human?
She looked around the room in awe. Most of the fighters were already there, and…if she wasn’t mistaken…some Venetians. The fighters missing were Rage, Talon, Zara, and Taurus. She had hoped to try to make a better impression with Taurus. Since he wasn’t there, she felt a little more relaxed. That was until Coco introduced her.
Coco pushed her to the center of the room. “Okay, so this is Maya. She is an Arian halfsie. She’s one of the new ring girls so let’s all welcome her.”
The room was silent as they stared at her and sniffed the air. She felt herself blush. She looked at Alana who was an Arian halfsie fighter. She gave Maya a kind smile that put her at ease. The only other person that would be able to tell that her DNA wasn’t mostly Arian would be Talon, the other Arian halfsie fighter.
“Welcome to the GCCCFA. I’m Sssersssan,” a female fighter with small scales on her head said as she walked forward to shake her hand. She was very exotic looking even with the scales. She had a little sprig of blond hair growing up in the center of her head. Her eyes were strange, too. The scales and eyes made it clear the female was a Reptan halfsie.
“I’m
