Fear of Firecrackers - An Apocalyptic Fairytale, #8

When a hero sees his father die as a boy, he conquers his phobia by returning to Earth each year for Independence Day. Although he can only visit once a year, he finds himself something more important than Earth Fireworks. A woman that makes him hiccup bubbles. Alicia was raised on Earth which willingly rejects the modern day technology of outer space. She falls for an alien hero she met as her best friend's innocent cousin.
With the strict rules that must be followed between Earth and the colonies, each year she gets bolder to be with him. Especially as she starts hiccuping bubbles. With only one day permitted to see each other a year, will they figure out a way to end up together?
