Conversion Part 1

**ADDIE'S POV**

I hadn't had a party like that in either of my lives. Not on Earth and not here in Athea. This party was catered for me. It was completely done to honor me. My family back on Earth had loved me, but I was such an emotional and financial drain on them that they just didn't have the energy to put on a party for me. Not that I would have been able to enjoy that party anyway.

And my human family here, they loved me, they still do. And they tried their best to make things perfect. The birthdays that I had with them were amazing as well, but they were different. I don't really know how to explain it. Maybe I just felt like more of a star at this one or something. And I didn't have to worry about anyone or anything at the time. I was safe, the people around me were happy, and I was able to just let go and be me.
