contact as their identicals talked. Their eyelids never blinked as they glared and listened to their identicals like their lives depended on it. It was the same with the Xapien kids, they were not as playful as their identicals. They looked like they were on a mission. Human kids didn't seem to know one another or cared about the Xapiens kids, but they interacted regardless, in that clumsy way typical kids would on the playground -- sometimes being nice, impolite or even rough. The human kids screamed with excitement as they pulled them to the playground to ride on the seesaws and forced them to glide the sliding boards. A football ball rolled toward one of the Xapien kids, he picked it and a girl tackled him andtook the ball without acknowledging him. The Xapiens kids looked at each other and shook their heads.

Later that evening, Gabriel, Pamela and their 2 children, Sarah and Emmanuel were on the lounge eating salad with their hands.

'Kids, how was your day?' he asked.

'It was okay, but the humans can't play our games,' Sarah replied.

'Yes, they forced us to play their stupid games,' Emmanuel added.

Gabriel and Pamela burst out laughing.

'You'll be okay,' Gabriel said, then gave him a light tap on the shoulder.

'Are you enjoying your new home on earth?' Pamela asked.

Emmanuel nodded. Then Pamela turned and looked at Sarah for a response.

'What about you, sweetheart?'

'It's very nice and better than at Gadju,' she replied.

'I am tired of running,' Emmanuel added. 'We are safe here, right father and mother?'
