Zaida/Synopsis

#### Experience on Zodia

For as long as she remembered, she was always told that her living, was important to the survival of their planet. Due to this fact, she had all her freedom ripped from her, isolated in a tower where people were always moderating her every move. She explained that her conditions could have been worse, she couldn't experience many things and learned everything from a tablet-shaped device, and had very little interaction with others, the people that did talk with her always ended up with people arguing over her importance and she was always caught in the crossfire of drama. After years of enduring it, it slowly started to make her go mad and one day, she just couldn't handle it anymore and managed to steal a ship and leave her planet with no intention of returning. Not knowing how to fly the thing, she just followed the coordinates set into the ship leading her to a planet very similar to her Planet, Earth.

### Season 1

#### Crashing onto Kade's life

It was smoothing sailing, not needing to drive the ship herself, but when it came to land the thing, she had no idea on how to drive the thing, let alone land it and she crashed it into the backyard of an average earthling named Kade. Zaida burst out of the roof floating several meters into the air looking down at the first human she would lay her eyes on as she started to fall unconscious and fell from the air. Kade dashed to try and catch "The Angel That Fell From the Sky." He managed to but the weight was too much for him at the moment and ended up falling into the ship. Seeing a shocked Kade she put up a peace sign and once again fell unconscious. He took her into his home and helped treat all the minor injuries sustained during her crash. A little later Zaida woke up talking in a language foreign to Kade, she examines all of his facial features before looking into his eyes and they bumped heads. Zaida then tells her name in English and Kade is in shock, having so many thoughts going through his head, questions and what he had gotten himself into, but most of all, who was she.

Zaida told him everything and he quickly learned that she was from a planet named Zodia where her people have the power of Levitation and Telepathy and how she just used it to learn the basics of the English language.

Zaida sits down with him and tries to make him feel better by telling him that he had been taking it well. Kade is a bit confused but was interested in why she came to earth but Zaida jumps behind him, scared about the beast that has invaded his home. Kade is confused that she was scared of a cat and Zaida asked if it wished to burgle. Kade reassured her that he didn’t think she committed crimes and that she was just a sweet pet and encouraged her to pet her. She aggressively pats, Cosmo. Kade told her to be more gentle and told her to try like this. Zaida tried it once again and Cosmo started to pur, Zaida was confused if she was gonna explode. She then goes saying that the data on the ship must have been incorrect because of how different humans looked pointing out Kade’s clothes were strange, his hair is dark, his ears were so big and saggy, his eyes were an odd color and he got some little hairs on his chin. Kade explains that everyone on earth has a different look and was confused if everyone on Zodia looked the same or something. Hearing this, Zaida was glad that there was hope that she could become an earthling and concluded that she wants to make a life here and asks what room was hers. Flustered Kade tells her that she couldn’t stay here as he had his stuff to deal with but overall the situation is odd. Zaida begs him that she can’t return home and that he was the only one she could ask for help with right now. Zaida gives him the puppy dog eyes and Kade had looked her into her eyes and he couldn’t refuse.

Kade was checking the ship while Zaida was getting her things, He takes the time to process that he sorta believed other life existed in space but didn’t imagine he would be the one discovering it. Zaida grab her container, Kade asked about the ship as it was a pretty notable thing, Zaida quickly fixed the dilemma by touching the ship and showing Kade the built-in cloaking device all their ships have. Kade is once again amazed at this and tells himself that this will take time to get used to. Kade and Zaida head back, he agrees to let her stay but that she would be living under three rules. 1) Contribute, he wouldn’t be cleaning up after her like a child, and she would do her part in cleaning. 2) Trust, basically if he would tell her to do something then she should trust him. The third and final rule is to be determined as he can’t think of others at the moment. Zaida's eyes glow whispering all the rules he had just set, Kade hoped she was listening, He asked if Zodians even sleeping and Zaida tells that he was correct and pulled up what seems to be a latex swimsuit, telling him those were the garments she was going to sleep in. Kade was concerned if that wasn’t uncomfortable and she pulls up a very thick jacket, saying that it was for extra warmth. This is where rule number 2 comes in and she wasn’t allowed to wear that, he leads her into his bedroom, and he hands her a shirt and a pair of sweatpants. He also showed her how to use a shower and left her to clean herself. After coming out of the shower, Kade come out of his deep thought and told her that he had come up with a third rule, 3) No Feelings. He knows that it sounded a bit silly but he just didn’t want any awkward tension between them. He states that nothing of that sort would ever happen but he just wanted to establish that would be a problem, the whole situation feels like a guy’s wild fantasy but promises he wouldn’t take advantage of it. Zaida puts her hands on his and tells him not to worry, rule 2 was trust and she would put her trust in him as long as he helped her.

The next day Kade was trying to get his rest but is woken up by Zaida snooping. Kade got up and made some breakfast for the two. Zaida was amazed and thanked the earthling for the food. Kade tells her that he had a name and if she goes around calling people “Earthling” then people will think she is strange. Kade hands her a napkin and Zaida looks over at her tattoos and plugs and blurts out that he is horrid, Kade spills his orange juice and tells her that he doesn’t cook like this every day and at the very least she could have kept that to herself. Zaida is confused if she did something wrong were Kade tells her that she just called him ugly, Zaida takes a few moments to process until she realized what the word meant and tells him that she meant that he was unique, she tells him that she is still getting used to earthling language and that Kade was quite pretty. Kade is sure that she was making fun of him, Kade also brings up the fact that money might get tight and that he needed to get ready for work so he wouldn’t lose his job. Zaida is confused and Kade explains how jobs work and asked if she ever had a job. Zaida responds that maybe the people of her planet did but she did not have one. Kade got ready and told her that he won’t be back for a while and told her to clean up for herself, don’t answer the door, and if she could feed cosmo. He closed the door as Zaida waved him away.

The day goes by and Zaida had done everything Kade had told her to do, she remarks how just observing was enough to understand how to do earthling things and gets the idea to observe all the rooms. She goes room from room touching and smelling everything she could, working her way to Kade’s room, going through his drawers finding the “Cuties” magazines. While disgusted at first, she was pretty interested in what he was into. She puts it down and moves her attention to the closet, she opens and examines Kade's fashion in clothing and notices a box on the floor. She stretches out for the box until her attention is taken by Cosmo. She remembers what she promised and goes off to feed Cosmo. Zaida drags the bag of cat food and lay’s it on the table. She grabs her and pulls up a small piece of food and tries to force-feed it to her. He tells her to open her mouth wide, Cosmo didn't like the way she was being fed and leaped off the table with Zaida chasing her as Kade. She finds her in a corner, Zaida could only take one step before Cosmo once again dashed, Zaida try to go after them but she trips on the controller’s wire and Kade’s "Precious Child" had been pulled to the floor. She found herself in a mess she made, and not wanting to break rule one, she did her best to clean up her mess, and since the only way of cleaning she knew was washing things in water and soap, she dumped the "Precious Child" into the kitchen sink and drowned it in water, destroying it in the process.

Kade comes later that night fatigued from his day at work. Zaida greeted him and explained everything she had done and explains that she made a mess and she tried to clean up her mistake, he showed him what she did in the kitchen. Kade's day was far from great but seeing what Zaida had done was the breaking point. While he was rightly mad at her, he started letting all his stress on her, telling how Ellie left, how his manager was getting buddy-buddy with him, and how he just wanted to avoid people. He thought about quitting his job but if he did he wouldn’t be able to live here, he would need to get a new one that doesn’t require social skills but that would require him to go back to school and that was not even factoring what would happen to Zaida. Zaida tried to confront him about not stressing about too many things but he starts ripping into her, asking why she was so quick to trust him as she had realized the danger she put herself. She tells him that he trusts him because he promised not to take advantage of the situation but if he were to continue to act this way she would take it back, Although if anything happened, she wouldn’t be surprised because he was a prevent after all. Kade takes a few moments until he realized that she went through his things and gets even madder as she wasn’t only breaking his stuff but also going through it. Zaida tells him that she didn't mean to break anything and was doing her utmost to fix it. Kade tells her that electronics didn’t belong in water and thought that an alien would have known something so simple, although much to his surprise, she didn't know what electronics were or how they work. Kade realizes that he assumed that she already knew some basics of human life and that he was in the wrong, leaving her terrified and shaking, he backs off and tries to apologize but Zaida flies away and locks herself in his room. He realizes how inconsiderate he was and tries to fix the situation, he buys pizza knowing well she hadn't eaten all day, he knocks on her door and explains that she had every right to be mad at him and that he shouldn’t have gone off on her over something dumb. He tells her that he didn’t mean to freak her out but that she shouldn't open her heart to just anyone, Zaida calls out his hypocrisy and asked him how she was supposed to trust him. He sees her point, He apologizes as he had seen that she did everything he asked her to do, he is having all these doubts but he will try harder to trust her. She comes out and sits down to eat with him. She fell in love with the taste of pizza and Kade was glad to know that people from other planets can agree on that, He hands her a bag of things from work. She could see it as an apology gift and it was full of things she will mostly need, and she had gotten her a few new outfits and a nightgown. She asked if she could wear the new gown, Kade tells her that she didn’t need any permission to wear them. Zaida put it on and loved it and thanked Kade, he was stunned by how beautiful she was. Zaida asked for another slice of pizza but Kade tells her that she would get a stain on it. Zaida promised that she wouldn't get any on them. Surprisingly, while Kade thought it would be annoying to have another person, he felt that things would be alright.

#### Wanting to learn how to be "Human"

Kade dumped the crumbs onto Cosmo's food bowl as Zaida watched and understood how to feed her. Kade apologized for assuming that she knew how to feed a cat. Zaida also apologized for breaking something important to him and from now on she would be more careful. Kade stared awkwardly at her neck before being brought back to reality by Zaida, where he excused himself saying that they should go to bed.

For the next few days, he had been trying to teach the simple things, like taking care of one’s hygiene, and every night he would show her how to cook something new. This night in particular they were making spaghetti. Zaida was enjoying the cupcakes they had made the day prior and was confused why Kade hadn’t consumed any of them. Kade shared that he didn’t like sweets and that he help make them for her sake. They moved on to make the pasta effortlessly, before Zaida could try and dig in, Kade had jumped in with a quick quiz about how you prepare the dish and where it was from. Of course, Zaida had answered the questions perfectly and Kade congratulated her as they sat down to eat. The two enjoyed the meal, and Zaida started to think that on her planet, they didn’t get the choice to choose what to eat or what to eat. She told Kade that she wanted to repay him someway and decide to make one of her planet's dishes, “The Zaplumonotahi.” The food was a slight to see for sore eyes, as Kade describe it as being so unpleasant that he wished he could censer it, at first he didn’t want to taste it. The two agree that they would test it in unison and to their shock, it tasted quite good. Zaida was distressed as she didn’t think the taste was gonna be what she was going for. The two look at each other and laughed about the entire situation.

The two were in the living room playing “Mr. Money.” Zaida once again apologizes that she destroyed the “Precious Child” and laments that Kade was unable to use the fun device. Kade assures her that it was fine and that he luckily found this game in his closet as the two could have fun while also helping her understand money, which is two birds with one stone. Zaida picked up a card and makes the realization that she could not read. Kade was shocked as she thought she picked up everything with her telepathy. She explained that she only grabbed the basics of human speech and tells Kade that he would need to teach her reading and writing. Kade slams his head on the table trying to find a method to teach her faster, Zaida tries to bring up that they could use telepathy but Kade comes up with the brilliant idea of using the TV. It taught him everything he knew and with just a few hours she will learn in no time. Kade taught Zaida how to the remote, and she started fiddling around with the channels, she turned to Kade and asked him if there was anything. Deep in thought, Zaida asked if training her most be stressful. Kade told her not to worry and that he was just deep in thought. Zaida sit there for a while going through the channels and watching what she found interesting Kade doze off and fell into Zaida's thighs. She let him sleep and a little later Kade up and jerked back up, he asked her the things she learned and realized it was going to be harder than he thought after seeing that she only learned useless information.

Kade had just come home from work and Zaida flew to him very excited, holding something in her hand, asking the earthling what she had stumbled upon. Kade gets a bit flustered about his love for romance manga and tells her that there is nothing wrong with it, Zaida is confused about the concept of Manga as there was no such thing on Zodia. Kade tries to explain weeb culture to Zaida but none of it sinks in, rather she is more interested in the pictures contained in the manga, curious to know if people create them. Kade explains how people express and use art in different types of ways and Zaida shows great interest in doing art. Kade pulls up a few blank sheets of paper and a pencil, and the two talk about the importance of reading while Zaida is doodling away. Zaida finishes her first art piece and Kade was surprised that it was her first time drawing, Zaida is a bit let down that her art was not as good as it was in the manga, but Kade reassures her that it takes a lot of practice to get to that level and encourages her to keep at it while calling her “Zay.” Zaida's eyes brightened up as she loved this nickname and asked Kade to start calling him that as it sounded less formal. Kade had fallen asleep and Zaida looked back at him, she gently smiled and left a drawing on his blanket as she went to sleep.

Later that night, Zaida was all cozy in the middle of her sleep until Kade had come into the room, Zaida was woken up by Kade changing at two in the morning. Zaida is confused on why he was waking up for work at a strange time until Kade explained that he was going grocery shopping as nobody was out at this time which made it perfect to avoid any social interaction. Zaida jotted up and started to get dressed as she wished to go with her. Kade expressed some concern that she wasn’t ready yet, she assured him that she looked like any normal earthling and that was nothing suspicious about her. Kade jokes with her that there was nothing suspicious about a floating earthling, she promises that she try not to float. During the car ride, Zaida was amazed by the outside world, as even in the dark Earth is full of so many colors. Kade is a bit confused about this statement and asked Zaida what color Zodia to which she tells him it was all white. Zaida was also amazed at cars and how they gave her the feeling of freedom like her levitation, Kade wanting to give her the full experience turns on the radio to listen to music however, Much to his dismay, it started to play an interview with Delilah and her experience in New York City and before she gets into detail, he turns off the music saying that he was not in the mood for music, Zaida was left puzzled. The two make it to the store and Kade notes that she was excited, he lets her stay close, and if anyone tried to talk to her, lets him do the talking. Throughout their shopping, Zaida asked various questions about the products and prices of different foods and products, they head to the area of games to try and see if they could find anything to pass the time, their options are very limited due to the fact she is unable to read. While Kade was busy looking through the rows of games, Zaida carelessly floats up to a jumbo cat plush picking it comes and hugging it. Kade turns to her and sees the alien up in the air and reaches out to pull her down, Kade starts to reprimand her like a child until they hear a scream from the other end of the aisle. Kade starts to panic that the jig was up and that the two were doomed until the girl blurts out that he already had a girlfriend and she was a total babe. Kade and Zaida were both very confused as the girl runs off embarrassedly ran off while yelling that his love for her was making her float. Zaida asked if he knew that person was Kade was just as confused as she was. He gently puts her down and tells her that he was scared to death from her screw up and she apologizes that for a moment she didn’t remember. The two head to the electronic section, Kade’s eyes were glued to the sale on the Tendi swap, Zaida, on the other hand, was fascinated by the T.V and the people on it. She pulls on Kade’s sweater to try and get his attention to ask what they were doing but when he finally turns around that channel had switched, Kade told her if she was excited about getting a new console. One self-checkout later and the to get out of there, Zaida thanked Kade during their car drive home. Kade told her not to scare him to death again by doing that in public but something came up in his mind and asked her if not being able t fly made her feel trapped, Zaida smiled think about the word home, and confessed to him that she never felt free in her entire life. They got home and the first thing Kade did was to introduce his new precious child “The Tendi Swap” Zaida reassures him that she wouldn’t try and hurt this one. Kade told her all was good as he had been wanting this console anyways, he hands her a controller asking her if she wanted to experience his favorite thing on earth. Kade had a lot in his mind, wanting to ask Zaida about what she meant earlier or how life was for her before earth, but right now they were having much fun and the two slowly doze off.

#### Kade breaks down

Zaida was woken up by Kade panicking over being late for work, half-asleep, she started asking for pancakes as Kade had left in a hurry for work. Zaida started kicking as a child and Cosmo jumped on the couch, Zaida asked if Cosmo could make a thick and fluffy pancake, but of course, the cat did not. Zaida came out of the shower, she came out refreshed and was looking through the closet for some spare clothes and she once again ran into the box. She sits on the bed and lifts the lid wondering what is inside but stops remarking that Kade gets angry when she snoops around. She forgets about it for most of the day before coming back into Kade's room and finding the box once again. She wants to put it back before Kade gets the wrong idea but her curiosity got the best of her and sat down to peek inside. But after seeing her stuff from Zodia she reflects on that and concludes that there was probably a reason why he hid it in the closet. Kade pulls into the driveway and Zaida jolts up to put the box into the closest, although not before stumbling and dropping a photo. Before Kade could come into the room and see it on the floor, Zaida dropped on the floor to cover it up and played it cool when Kade asked what she was doing. After eating, they call it a night and Kade goes to sleep, however, Zaida sits on the bed and examines the photo that had fallen out of the box.

Zaida is curious about the woman in the photo, noting all of her body modifications and how beautiful she was. She is also is not sure about the interaction Kade was having with her, thinking that it was maybe something friends do with each other but after the thought of Kade kissing her, she gets flustered and screams, waking up Kade in the middle of his sleep, but tells him that it was just a bug that scared her. the next day, Kade had gotten Zaida some more art supplies to help her creative drive. Zaida couldn't help but wonder about the story behind his pictures throughout Kade trying to teach her more art, Zaida couldn't bring herself to ask him, and when always changed the topic she tired. After thinking it over, she knew that her mind won't rest until she asked. She gets his attention and told him that she wished to make a confession but to promise her that he wouldn't get mad. Kade reluctantly agreed and Zaida places the photo on his chest, She tells him that she was sorry for finding it and he probably had a reason to hide it. Kade feels the picture and pushes her away, refusing to take her apology and just telling her to put it back into the box. Zaida storms off calling him a "Red Dwarf." He comes into the room apologizes for letting his emotions take over and shares the relationship he and Delilah had and saying that she was the person he wanted to be with but it didn't work out. Zaida makes the similarities between her and Zodia but Kade makes sure that Earth would be different.

All morning Zaida had been making a humming sound, having a clear idea of what was in her mind, Kade asked if she was still worrying about what she saw at MallMart. Zaida was curious about many things she saw, but the thing that caught her eye was the T.V, more specifically, what was playing on them. She tried to get his attention but it changed before he could have turned. He just told her to drop the thought and figure it out later, Zaida thought it looked really fun and tried to explain that they were together and moving. Kade was still very confused, he again told her not to stress over it and was sure that she would come across it again. She grabs his arm and puts it on her hip, she tells him that she wanted to demonstrate and asked for his other hand. Kade's face turned red, he show how intimate it was and told himself that he couldn’t give her his other hand. But his other side took the better of him and gladly went along with it. She then puts her hands on his hips and moved his hands on her shoulders and then they spun. Kade explained that she was referring to dancing, Zaida wanting to show more, asked him if he could show her everything he knew about the topic, Kade lied to her that he knew next to nothing about it and Zaida's expression turned gloomy. Kade feeling a bit guilty slaps his forehead and agreed to do it. Kade had put on music in the background, explaining to Zaida where their hand and arms would rest as they danced, Zaida pointed out that he said he knew next to nothing about dancing Kade didn’t respond to that statement. The two flow through the rhythm of the music, being able to take a moment and look at him she sees how he looked so intimidating yet he was so gentle, and despite showing no interest in dancing he was doing it for her and she wanted this to last a while longer. His hands suddenly let go of her shoulders and covers his face. Zaida worried and asked him if she did something to displease him, he tried to tell her that he just needed a minute but she could clearly hear the quivering in his voice. Zaida realized that he was crying and tried to understand what made him feel such a way. Wiping the tearing out of his eyes he told her it wasn’t her but rather it was him, He stood there trembling trying to explain that it wasn’t anything related to Zaida but while they were dancing, her face remind her of someone that he really missed and he had been holding that feeling even before Zaida had moved in and called himself pathetic for feeling that way. Zaida lifted Cosmo to Kade’s face and through her, Zaida showed him that he wasn’t alone and he had both her and Cosmo and told him that it was alright to let those tears out as it would only help him feel better afterward. Kade extended his arm and squeezed both of them and let everything out. Zaida expressed her relief at Kade’s better mood, Kade was glad that he was able to let it out but really didn’t want her to see him like that, Zaida told him that he didn’t mind and she would rather him be more open with her. Kade smiles and tells her that he would like that as well from Zaida. She gets red and runs off to Kade’s room, much to his confusion, she takes a step back and realizes how intimate everything she and Kade had done today and started to feel a bit troubled.
