Aisha considered her options carefully. It hadn’t even occurred to her she might be able to use her new size to help get back in the good graces of the Ctarl Ctarl empire. Though she’d redeemed herself, in her eyes, by leading them to the Galactic Leyline they still hadn’t reinstated her. Probably because the Ctarl Ctarl didn’t get any dragonite out of it. The empire had offered her a ride home but she had decided to join up with Gene and co. and travel a while longer. She would have missed Jim, Melfina’s cooking, and to a much lesser extent Gene. The empire had been the farthest thing from her mind before the idiot Terran had gone and opened his mouth. The immortal Ctarl Ctarl were powerful at normal size but at 20 times that……..

“So Jim, you think I should take them up on their offer?” Aisha asked

“Yeah, definitely, this way you can eat as much as you want and we won’t owe a small fortune! Heifong isn’t my favorite planet but I’d hate to have to avoid it for the rest of my life.”

“Hmmmm, but the empire could probably really use my help in the future.” Aisha muttered to herself.

Of course, being so huge, Jim could hear her easily, “Yeah, I suppose. But we haven’t been at war with your kind for several decades. Besides, it’s not like you owe them anything. It seems harsh for them to strip you of your rank just because you couldn’t catch Hot Ice Hilda. Also……. I don’t know, I just don’t want to see my favorite Ctarl Ctarl go from ambassador to weapon of mass destruction.”

“Well I don’t to see my favorite Terran go from happy to disappointed. I’ll take the offer. Jeez, even before when I was an ambassador I didn’t have diplomatic immunity! I can do anything I want to anyone I want! This is gonna be great!”

Jim frowned at that, he was happy Aisha wouldn’t be leaving them but he was worried about what she might do. Being a Ctarl Ctarl she was raised to take pride in her aggressiveness and brutality as well as learn to look down on other species. That, plus her outgoing and sometimes playful nature could spell trouble.

“Well, I’m glad Aisha, I wouldn’t want you to leave us.”

“What are you talking about? Even if I had decided to go back to the empire I’d take you all with me…… Or at least you and Melfina.”

Jim smiled, “And if we didn’t want to go?”

“There’s not much you could do about it, a weak little Terran kid like you couldn’t stop me.” Aisha let out a loud belly laugh.

“I’m not a k-!!!!”

“Kid, I know I know. I’m just playing with you Jimmy.” Aisha used a finger to mess up his hair.

Jim always found it strange how the catgirl always winded up petting him instead of the other way around.

“Well you heard me.” Aisha said turning to the general.

“I’ve agreed to your terms but I can do anything I want. If a shipment of dragonite is being brought in I can take it, if a resteraunt has food I like I can clean it out without getting a bill, if I want to eat, crush, maim, snuff ya Terrans in some other way I can do it without you army boys trying anything. Agreed?”

The officer nodded, “That was the offer.” The man agreed, “I’m glad you accepted.”

Actually he wasn’t happy at all but he’d been given the orders from his superiors. There wasn’t much he could do about it.

Gene gave a sigh of relief, “Thank god, I didn’t want to have to pimp myself and sell off Jim for scientific research. Now I don’t have to worry about 6 digit resteraunt bills!”

“…………. Wait what?!” Jim yelled, “Why would I have to be the test subject and you be the….. I don’t even want to say it.” Jim spat

“That’s easy Jim, kids make the best research subjects. I don’t think they’d get much use out of me. The ladies on the other hand…….”

“Whatever.”

“Now about what we were talking about before.” Aisha said, interrupting the duo’s bickering.

She snatched up the officer and pulled open the back of her pants. The man’s eyes went wide with fear. She really was going to put him in her ass! He hovered over the opening for a moment but Aisha eventually let him back down on the ground.

“Get out of here before I change my mind.” Aisha gave him a cruel smile.

“Aisha….” Suzuka started

“I know Suzu, I’m just playing. Jeez, you Terrans!”
