137 Making Up The Background

@@

"Okay, the first thing we need to do is come up with your background. My mom is going to ask you a lot of questions, so we need to make sure your backstory is solid." stated Stephen, rubbing his hands together.

"Sounds simple enough," giggled Grace. It was early morning the next day, and Stephen had been awake for quite some time trying to collect his thoughts. If he was going to introduce Grace to his mother, he wanted to make sure it was in the best possible light, for both of their sakes.

For her part, Grace was showing a surprising amount of nerves for an all powerful companion genie. He could tell she was nervous for the right reasons, as she wanted to make a good impression, and show that he was in good hands.

"Let's get started then. Name?"

She smiled, and said, "That's easy. Grace!"

"Grace what? What's your last name?"

She blinked, "I don't know, Stephen. You haven't given me one yet."

"Hmm," he thought, tapping his chin. "We'll come back to that. Age?"

"Same age as you. Twenty one."

"Good, my mom will like that I'm seeing someone my own age," he mused. "Where are you from?"

"Why, Arabia of course. Deep in the desert, near a-," Grace began, before being interrupted by a chuckle.

"No, no, we can't use that. You look nothing like modern Arabs and that would stand out like a sore thumb. You should at least be American, but maybe not from around here," Stephen thought.

"Okay," replied, Grace, thinking about it a little more. "How about this? Why don't we say I grew up here, but spent the last ten years in Chicago with my aunt, who has recently deceased, making me want to come back to my roots? It would also explain why I don't have any other regional accents."@@
