Hello! Sorry for the late update! Here is episode two!~ Yay~ This is one of my favorite in the series, so I hope you enjoy! (-^.^-)/
What? An Alien?
The 18 year old twins, Ed and Luci,
were renting a small apartment on the outskirts of town, a little
ways away from civilization. Which made them both quite bored, well,
Luci anyway.
Luci was lying on her love seat upside
down, her green eyes closed in annoyance and her long red hair flowed
across the floor.
On the other side of their small living
room, Ed sat neatly in the office chair next to his desk, swiping his
dark bangs away from his bright blue eyes in order to read his book.
Ed could hear his sister whining on the
other side of the room but kept ignoring her in an attempt to keep
reading. Once the whines became louder and unbearable, he finally
looked over to her with annoyance. “What..?” He had a feeling
he was going to regret asking.
She pouted, still upside down while
waving her arms in frustration. “I'm so bored! Why can't something
fun just...fall from the sky or something!?” She sighed, her
arms falling to the ground numbly.
Yup, he regretted it. “Why can't you
just-” He was suddenly cut off by a very
loud crash coming from their backyard. It made Luci flip off the
love seat and land on her face. Ed would have probably laughed if he
hadn't ran towards the window, practically throwing his book at his
poor defenseless computer.
He looked to find a huge crater now in
their wounded backyard with glowing, blueish and greenish smoke
rising from the center. He stared. “Something....fun, huh?” He
really regretted
asking now.
Luci got up to her feet and went over to stand next to him, looking
over to try and see what it was, only to just see smoke. She blinked.
“What is that..?”
He gave a slightly worried expression. “I have no idea.” He
glanced to her, knowing what she would say next, which made him worry
even more.
Her
eyes lit up a little. “Ooo!~ Let's go check it
out!” And with that she started dragging her worried brother with
her out the door.
Ed knew she was going to say that. He
just sighed.
Now at the edge of the crater, they
tried to see what it was that made it in the first place, but the
smoke still covered it up. Luci pouted.
The crater itself wasn't very big, just
around 20 feet wide and 5 to 6 feet deep. Ed wondered if it was just
a meteorite, but then how could it survive coming through the
atmosphere? It didn't make much sense.
Then the smoke started to slip off and
clear, making Ed wish he had never asked his innocent sister what she
had wanted.
What was now in their sights...was a
small cartoon-looking space ship, all beat and banged up from the
crash landing.
They both blinked in disbelief.
“Um...Ed?....Is that what I think it is..?” Ed couldn't even
speak as he looked at the strange thing.
Then it suddenly popped open, smoke
coming out of it, making Luci cling to her brother for dear life. Ed
just blinked again, waiting to wake up and smell the roses in the
vase next to his bed, wanting to get out of this strange dream.
And when they thought it couldn't get
any stranger, a weird pile of lime green sludge, no bigger than the
palm of your hand, came rolling out of it and stopped a few feet away
from them.
Ed didn't know how he would die first.
By the little green blob in front of him? Or by his sister squeezing
him to death?
At any rate, he just stared at it and
blinked when it seemed to stand up. You could now find that it had
rounded off subs for arms and black dots for eyes and a mouth.
Ed wondered if this was some weird
remake of Flubber and he would find cameras staring into his face
soon, but he highly doubted it and found that he wasn't dreaming as
the squishing pain still came from his sister.
This was reality.
He stared at it, but now it stared
back. Luci shook in fear and looked at it. “E-E-E-Ed?....W-What is
that? Please tell me I'm dreaming, or going nuts, or need mental help, or something!” She screeched as it looked to her.
Ed watched it. “Nope, this is
reality little sister.” He was much calmer now that he found that
it wasn't a part of his imagination, though Luci would have probably preferred it that way.
Ed bent down and tilted his head, the
little one followed and copied the movement. Luci finally stopped
shaking but still hid behind Ed, watching intently.
Ed gave a small smile. He couldn't help
but think the little guy was cute. “Do you...understand me be
chance?”
The green blob nodded. Ed and Luci
blinked in surprise. “Oh, well, what did you came to earth for?
You..ah..come in peace?” He felt really awkward saying that
seriously. Luci was trying to hold in her laughter and was failing
miserably. Ed glared at her.
The green blob melted back into a
puddle and the two started freaking out.
“Ed ! You totally scared the little
guy!”
“Says the girl that's still hiding
behind me!”
“Hey! At least he likes me!”
“What?! How do you know that!?”
“I just do!”
“...So you two are part of this
planet's ruling living organism? I hope your species won't become
existent, you're quite entertaining.” The sudden voice was almost
nerdy and slightly high pitched.
The two stopped altogether and looked
over to him in unison. He suddenly had bulky glasses and a clipboard,
and he looked amused.
Ed blinked again. “What the...Where
did you get those?” He pointed to his glasses and board. The little
blob seemed to have laughed, but it sounded more like a weird
giggle... “When I change my temperament to be able to speak the
same language as you tongued creatures of this planet, this is what
became of me.”
Luci's eyes swirled in confusion and
she had no idea what he had just told them. Ed, on the other hand,
nodded. “So you pretty much change in order to speak the same
language as us?”
It nodded. “Precisely.“
Luci was still totally lost and had no
idea what was going on in her normally boring life. Ed was talking to
the green blob while Luci stayed behind them mumbling something along
the lines of 'when I said fun this isn't what I meant' and 'I won't
ever say that again for the rest of my life'. Blah,blah,blah.
“So what's your name then? Mine's Ed
and that's my twin sister Luci.” He greeted with his hand out, not
really caring that it was an alien in front of him, and you know, not
a person.
He seemed to have smiled and shook his
hand. “Sal. You may call me Sal.” Ed nodded and withdrew his hand
kindly, noticing that it was dry and not slimy like their new friend
looks.
“So, Sal, What brings you here? You
don't seem like you want to eat us or anything.”
Sal raised a brow he did not seem to
have. “I just crash landed here on accident and will need repairs.
Eat you? Where on this Earth you live on did you get that kind of
idea? That's just irrational.”
Ed nodded and chuckled nervously.
“Human minds are a strange place...” He thought of how many
movies have that scenario but shook his head. “Anyway, you need
repairs? I should be able to fix it, we can take it to the garage.”
Sal nodded and started walking towards
the ship with Ed. He looked back at the earthling's twin sister. “Is
your twin lacking intelligence..?” Ed looked back at his sister
only to see her sitting on the ground with her hands on her head and
her eyes still swirling. “Yeah...well, maybe?”
So Then~(-' v '-)/
After putting the ship in the garage,
Ed and Sal moved Luci to the living room and calmed her down to where
she understood that she wasn't crazy and that they do speak the same
language.
As Ed thought, the ship was a lot like
his computer and was able to fix it with little trouble.
And in just a few hours, the ship was
fixed.
“Thank you very much for your
cooperation with repairs, Ed.” Sal put out his hand, seeming to
copy Ed's earlier actions.
Ed smiled and shook it. “You're
welcome, If you're ever in the galaxy, come on bye anytime.” Luci
nodded. “Yeah! Come on by sometime!”
Sal nodded and handed Ed and Luci
necklaces with some type of rock on the end. They looked at him
slightly confused as he jumped into the now repaired ship.
“A token from my planet. They mean
'we will meet again'. They're made of small stars. Take care of
them!” Ed and Luci nodded. “We will!” They called as the ship
closed and few out of their atmosphere.
The Next Morning~(-^.^-)/
Luci woke up and
started freaking out about her 'strange dream' she had had the night
before, explaining it in full detail while running around the house
for no reason, which is how Ed was woken up.
When she had finally reached his room,
she had come to the end of her story. “And then, he gave us these
weird star necklaces that mean that we will meet him again!” She
started to huff as Ed finally sat up, his hair in a total mess and he
looked very annoyed at all the noise she was making.
“Isn't that the weirdest dream
ever?!” She continued, but then she saw one of those spoken
necklaces on his table. She started to stare at it and Ed sighed.
“Luci.....Love ya sis, and I hate to
brake it to you but..” She looked at him and he looked her in the
eye.
“That wasn't a dream and it really
happened.”
Silence followed for a few solid
moments....
“SAY WHAT!?”
THE END
