The aliens arrive, and they want an earthling to come with them. This is not anything harmful, like To Serve Man. They actually want a human to come with them to show all their wonders. Often this is an old man, who saw the aliens once and was called crazy ever since. So the old man not only gets proven right, but also gets to complete the trip he didn't finish the last time. Yet just as often, it's just someone whom the aliens make their Chosen One. If they return, they may be — different. Much like the Undead Tax Exemption with people spontaneously appearing in the records, there never seems to be any legal investigation into someone literally vanishing off the face of the Earth. Compare I Choose to Stay. As this can be an Ending Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

Subnautica Below Zero: at the end of the game, Robin decides to leave human-controlled space with AL-AN to visit the Architects' civilization... assuming it still exists. The fact that she was on 4546B illegally and had helped destroy Alterra's attempt to study the Kharaa probably had something to do with this. | |

In the Haven episode "301", the town gets hit by an alien invasion. Eventually, the heroes realize that an alien fanatic named Wesley is a Reality Warper and unknowingly created the aliens from his imagination. They try and fail to convince him of his powers (Wesley believes in aliens, but not in the Troubles). Running out of time (the mothership is charging up its weapons), Nathan convinces Wesley to offer to go with the aliens, and that Wesley's missing grandfather may be with the aliens too. The mothership beams Wesley aboard and the aliens leave. Duke calls Nathan out on this. For all they know, Nathan could have sent Wesley to his death or worse. | |

Dramatic Mission, a story in The Ship Who... Sang, involves human actors transferring themselves into "envelopes" aka local available bodies on a world with a methane-ammonia atmosphere, in order to trade performances for alien technology. The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body and even when back in their human forms the actors find it hard not to think in alien terms, and they do enjoy the experience. When it's time to wrap up, three actors decide to stay, two because they're older and enjoy the sense of youth and power, one out of love. A fourth tried to sabotage their equipment, and another of the troupe decided to trap her in her envelope before the ship left, stranding her with the others. | |

Lyrical Nanoha: Nanoha Takamachi, by the third season, is living on the planet Midchilda and pursuing a career in their military. One wonders if she still has an Earth identity and specifically a Japanese citizenship; does her family still pay her taxes, or did she get disappeared paperwork-wise? (The TSAB has shown they'd probably be able to do that.) Hayate Yagami of the same series also does this. Given she was a nine-year-old living alone and then suddenly has four people living with her who appeared out of nowhere, there was likely less paperwork. Subverted by Gil Graham. Like Nanoha and Hayate, he moved to Midchilda when he joined the TSAB, but he moved back to Earth when he retired. Inverted by the Harlaown family (including Amy, who married into the family during the Time Skip). After the events of the second season, they moved to Earth full time so Fate could keep going to school with her friends (that, and Lindy is an Occidental Otaku). Fate would later move back to Midchilda with Nanoha and Hayate. |

Gillian Taylor from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home chooses to follow Captain Kirk and his crew into the future where they're taking two whales to stop an alien probe threatening the Earth. Downplayed because she's only being taken into the future by a human crew (with a half-alien man among these), but the aspect of her entering an alien ship and abandoning her mundane life still checks the main marks of this trope. | |

In If Wishes Were Ponies, Harry Potter ends up in Equestria by complete accident, and finds himself turned into a unicorn colt. He reveals his mistreatment at the hands of the Dursleys to the ponies, who all agree that he's never going to be left in their care again. He's taken in by Twilight Sparkle (with the rest of the Mane 6 keeping an eye on him as well) and befriends the CMC. By the time his Hogwarts letter comes, he makes it very clear that he feels more at home and safe in Equestria than he does with wizards. | |

Hanako of Disgaea 2 was born after her parents were turned into demons due to Zenon's curse, so she has been a demon all her life. Adell's success turned her into a human, but she didn't want to be one, and so she left Veldime with Etna in order to find a way to become a true demon. In the DLC for Disgaea 3, she appears as her previous incarnation, so she apparently succeeded. Though her brother Taro also remained a demon in the same DLC pack and did not travel with her... She uses Time Travel to join the cast as DLC in the PSP remake to show off her becoming a Demon Lord. | |

This trope is wholeheartedly embraced by Cassandra Spender from The X-Files, Agent Spender's mom, multiple alien abductee, and Cigarette-Smoking Man's ex-wife: she is convinced that the aliens preparing to colonize Earth wish only the best for humanity and that they will take a select few (including herself) to their world just before it begins. It ends very badly for her. Like, "burned alive by eyeless, mouthless aliens" badly. | |

In the climax to On the Steel Breeze, several characters must go somewhere with the Watchkeepers - vast and unbelievably powerful Mechanical Lifeforms - to fulfill a humanity's side to an arrangement. The third and final novel, Poseidon's Wake, details why: The Watchkeepers, being post-sentient - they are effectively an entire race of philosophical zombies - are unable to approach an ancient Big Dumb Object without being blown to smithereens, so they want to use the characters as their agents to explore it. During this arrangement, the characters are made more intelligent and practically ageless. | |

Stargate SG-1: Daniel Jackson's granddad Nick Ballard stays with the GIANT ALIENS! at the end of the episode "Crystal Skull". Daniel Jackson's own example from the film section above received a Happy Ending Override in the show's pilot. Inverted with Martin Lloyd, who chooses to stay on Earth rather than leave with his fellow Human Aliens. From his viewpoint, this trope is still true. Colonel Harold Maybourne chooses to live among primitive Human Aliens. He ends up becoming their king by claiming to predict the future (in fact, he's using his knowledge of written Ancient language to translate future knowledge inscribed by a time-traveling Ancient). Even after his revelation that he's been lying about his powers, his people still want to keep him as their king, as he actually did a lot of good things for them (e.g. built a windmill, wrote a code of laws). |

Close Encounters of the Third Kind: At the climax, Roy Neary enters the alien ship, disappears into the light and the ship departs Earth... which is kind of awkward for his wife and kids. note Looking back, Word of God agrees it's a rough move. Spielberg: "I would never have made Close Encounters the way I made it in '77 because I have a family that I would never leave," he said in a 1997 making-of documentary. "That was just the privilege of youth." However, the film does establish that Ronnie deserted him and took the kids, refusing to talk to him or work things out, so it's not like he had anything to stick around for. | |

At the end of the Space Route in Shin Super Robot Wars, Char Aznable sends a message to Londo Bell, whom he expects to be in a festive mood, yet unjustified by what Char is convinced has been a horrific mistake for mankind. He reckons they got lucky with this victory and points out that Balmar is sure to send a second or third fleet to Earth, without any shortage of firepower. Just how far will Londo Bell's efforts last, he muses, ostentatiously checking himself and claiming sarcastically that sour grapes weren't the intent of the message. Since Char is worried about mankind too, in his fashion, he has chosen to accompany the aliens returning to their own worlds. Therefore, he is entrusting Londo Bell with all the alien technology he has been able to amass, telling them to put it to good use for humanity. | |

It's implied that his job will be to help the aliens understand things like emotions. Given their complete lack of knowledge about such things as sex, it can be assumed that Ron will have a lot of fun teaching them. | |

The first episode of The Greatest American Hero has FBI Agent Bill Maxwell's old partner saying he's doing this with the aliens that gave Ralph the superhero suit. However, he clearly died earlier in the episode, so it's ambiguous if he was simply re-animated or if his lifeless body was being controlled by the aliens so they would have some way of communicating beyond their bizarre radio trick. | |

New Stars shows a clone trooper (CT-5599, or Maxx) be sent to another galaxy via a prototype teleporter. He ends up aboard the Orville, and befriends the crew (who are all horrified at how the Republic treats clones). It's no surprise that he chooses to stay with them in the end. | |

In Gundam Build Fighters, it becomes apparent that both Reiji and Chairman Mashita really are from another dimension. At the end of the series, Mashita's Power Crystal that allowed him to jump dimensions is failing, but his assistant Baker grabs onto him at the last second and is taken along with him. In the Epilogue, after Reiji is pulled back home as well, Aila uses the last Arista to follow him. | |

Paul: In what is presumably a Shout-Out to Close Encounters, at the end of the film Paul invites the little girl that saved him from the wreckage of his spacecraft, now an old woman, to come with him. Made easier since she was seen as crazy by everyone and her house was blown up earlier, so it's not like she had anything keeping her here on earth. | |

In the Invader Zim episode "Vindicated," Dib's "skool" counselor seemingly believes him about Zim, but is actually playing along to try and help him. At the end of the episode, a group of aliens called Plooskians show up, proving that Dib was right about everything. Unfortunately for him, Dwicky decides to live out his dream of exploring space by leaving with the Plooskians, accidentally taking Dib's camera with footage of their existence with him. | |

The companions of Doctor Who. The Doctor, who is a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey, seems to have a thing for picking up random humans from Earth who travel with him through time and space. First Doctor companion Steven Taylor elects to stay behind on a planet of Human Aliens at the end of "The Savages". Sixth Doctor companion Peri Brown leaves the Doctor when she marries King Yrcanos of the planet Thordon during the Trial of a Time Lord arc. In an inverted sense, the Doctor's granddaughter 'Susan Foreman' stays behind with human Rebel Leader David Campbell on future Earth at the end of "The Dalek Invasion of Earth". Gets a perspective flip in the Expanded Universe. In one story, after the Doctor stops a time-traveling alien tourist business that was mucking about in Ancient Greece and he sends them home in the last portal their machine could make, one of them decides to Stay with the Aliens (said aliens being us) instead. In one of the new Who episodes, the Doctor took Rose with him for a year of "our time", though it was hardly any time for them. (The Doctor simply made a mistake in his calculations.) When they came back, Rose's boyfriend said he'd been interrogated five times by police who believed he had kidnapped or murdered her (but let go for lack of evidence), and her mother had put up Missing posters. Other people react realistically to someone simply vanishing for a year, with her mother not buying Rose's weak explanation that she was "travelling". Unfortunately, the Doctor couldn't correct the mistake by simply taking Rose back to shortly after she left like he originally intended because that would mean going back over his own personal timeline after it had already been established that she'd been missing for a year, which is a no-no that can cause a deadly paradox. |

Captain John Sheridan (the station commander in Seasons 2-4) ultimately marries Minbari ambassador Delenn, and after he becomes President of the new Interstellar Alliance, they move from Babylon 5 to the ISA facilities on Minbar at the end of Season 5. The Grand Finale "Sleeping in Light" implies that he ascended and went with Lorien beyond the Rim of the galaxy to join the First Ones. | |

Charlie from the Critters films. Subverted in that it's implied he pestered the alien bounty hunters into letting him tag along, although we don't actually see them make up their minds to do so. | |

In the novel Aliens vs. Predator: Prey, the main character is marked (on the forehead, not the cheek) and taken aboard the ship. They treat her horribly, even after being key in the capture of a queen, so she decides to leave. The mark still works in her favor in subsequent encounters with the predators. | |

Babylon 5: Several characters encounter this trope. Captain John Sheridan (the station commander in Seasons 2-4) ultimately marries Minbari ambassador Delenn, and after he becomes President of the new Interstellar Alliance, they move from Babylon 5 to the ISA facilities on Minbar at the end of Season 5. The Grand Finale "Sleeping in Light" implies that he ascended and went with Lorien beyond the Rim of the galaxy to join the First Ones. Soon after the end of the first season, original station commander Jeffrey Sinclair became Ranger One, the leader of the Rangers, a Minbari organization dedicated to fighting the Shadows and preparing for their return, after the Rangers' ranks were expanded to include humans. He ultimately used several bits of Applied Phlebotinum to be transformed into a Minbari, and get sent back a thousand years in the past to the First Shadow War as Valen, the Rangers' founder and the Minbari's messiah figure. Sebastian the Inquisitor and Mr. Morden are the best examples because the aliens they stayed with (the Vorlons and Shadows, respectively) were far more "alien" to humans than Minbari were. Lt Commander Susan Ivanova threatens to run off and sign on with the Minbari during the episode "Eyes" owing to having to deal with factions in Earthforce and the Psi Corps questioning Sinclair's loyalty and integrity in a Kangaroo Court where he and the other command staff might have to submit to telepathic scan, 'cause at least the Minbari had a sense of honor. It was more a statement of how bad the situation was than a face-value threat, since Earth and Minbar had been at war within recent memory. |

While technically not dealing with aliens (although it does concern supernatural beings), the same basic concept is used at the end of Field of Dreams. The author Terrence Mann (played by James Earl Jones) is invited by Shoeless Joe Jackson (Ray Liotta) to come with him and the other ghostly ballplayers and vanish into the cornfield. This causes the protagonist Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) to become somewhat jealous that he too wasn't invited until he realizes he has to stay behind so he can play catch with his dad. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Inverted in "Who Watches the Watchers", in which the natives get the idea that "the Picard" is a god. Not wanting to be the object of some silly Prime Directive-breaking religion, he invites one of them for a brief stay on the ship to show that the Enterprise crew are just ordinary people with advanced technology. Inverted again in another botched first contact, in "First Contact"; the aliens refuse to join the galactic community, but the main alien from the episode decides to go with the humans. A third time, in "Homeward", Worf and his brother try to smuggle an entire community to another planet without revealing that they've ever left their home planet. One of the people discovers the truth and is given the option to stay aboard the Enterprise or go back to his people with knowledge he can never share. He chooses a third option. Finally played straight in "Journey's End" — Wesley Crusher ascends to a higher plane of existence to join the Traveler in exploring the universe. |
