The Story of an Alien

Once there was an alien who had a small flat in the Andromeda Halo. Which is right outside the Andromeda Galaxy, a little to the left of Messier 32. She felt apathetic about the state of things, which is kinda what you have to be when you live in a place where you don't have any choice. In all the wide wide Universe, it is a little boring. Patterns of the Universe are predictable (even the ones that are chaotic) so you pretty much know how tomorrow will be before today even begins.
Alien K (we'll call her that, because the translation is a bit convoluted) was on her balcony, having a glass of dkyhfoo... let's just say she was having a glass of wine. She was having a glass of wine with her friend Alien B. Which was what they did when the North Star gets to a certain point on the horizon. They had been doing this predictably for as long as Alien K could remember. Out on the balcony Alien K was in her own world, thinking about how a star tomorrow was going to explode and slow work down by 2.5 light years for two rotations. Out of nowhere, Alien B said something that was completely unexpected: "On Earth, they have Free Will."
"What?" said K, breaking from her chain of thought.
"On earth there is Free Will," Alien B seemed to be in a trance, "they can make choices, and it affects their environment around them."
"I don't understand."
"That's what I said, then I contemplated it for a bit. Think of it: any situation an earthling gets put in to, they get to choose their response. Their response ripples out, and hits everything that surrounds them."
All K could muster up for a response was: "Huh." Inside however, something stirred. Her mind began to race, and she felt her body pulse with excitement. The silence that hung itself between them was thick and heavy. "Something is going on inside me." "I know," B said quietly, "I feel it too. It tingles."
"What is this? Feeling? I've never heard of that before, but somehow I understand it. Something is happening to my body." K did not hesitate in her compulsion, "I've got to go, I don't understand how or why, but I've got to go to Earth. I must understand why it makes my body feel this way."
"I knew that would happen if I told you." Alien B hung her head, "Something blocks me, I don't understand it and that freezes me from non-action. You have to go, for both of us."
Already Alien K could feel great changes in her life she could not see yet. Never had she experienced feelings like this, or more accurately: never had she experienced feelings ever. "How do I get there?" she pondered. "Remember the Hitch hiker's Guide? Stick your thumb out, and bring a towel," as she said this B held out a package, "I bought you a new one."
