The Rat

By MM

 

          I was working late one night and my buddies and I heard a crash in the next room.  We ran to the room and we saw a rat run by a test tube sitting on the table, and the rat broke it.  We were relieved that it was not a burglar.  The rat was soaking in chemicals.  He ran off.  Two days later the rat returned.  It glowed.  At exactly 2:37 P.M., the rat began to get bigger.  I was working late so I called my girlfriend and said, “I’ll be working late so leave the door key in the gutter above the bush on the right.”  I was still working when I heard a “stomp.”  I ran to see what it was.  It was that rat that had been soaking in chemicals. 

 

          I was screaming at the top of my lungs.  The rat gazed into my eyes.  He roared loudly in my face.  With razor sharp claws, he swung at me.  I ran down in the cellar and went in.  I quickly shut and locked the door.  I turned the lights on and I found 200 rats in a cage.  The date was marked on this cage was marked 3030.  That was almost 1030 years ago.  I read the information sheet. The rats were for a geothermal experiment. I knew what had happened and what had to be done.   The huge rat outside was now gone.

 

          I quickly mixed some chemicals together.  The formula was to make the rats shrink from huge to tiny.  I loaded a needle with the formula and cocked the gun designed to shoot the needle into the animal.  I started to look for the rat.  I found it slobbering while standing on the floor looking for me. I carefully looked for the rat.  There it stood, 9 feet tall and 100 lbs.  It knocked my gun with the loaded needle from my hand.  I quickly grabbed it again.  I shot the rat with a needle full of the stuff from a gun.  I ran for my life.  As I was running, he ran after me.  Suddenly he got smaller.  I picked him up and put him back in a cage.  It was finally over. 

 

 

The Other Planet

By AA

 

          One normal day one a planet called Saturn, King Trent was eating Squirm a La Mode.  Suddenly, Divein ran in. 

          “Help, King Trent!” someone called from another planet.  He is watching us. 

          “The monitor device has the name NASA on it.”  Divein explained. 

          “Pull up that data screen,” the king said.

          “Yes, Sir!” Info replied.

         

          The data screen was pulled up and Info typed in NASA. 

          “These readings say that NASA is a rocket base on Earth.  The people Earth are in a medium level of intelligence,” said Info. 

          “What is Earth’s business to watch us?” shrieked King Trent.

          “Maybe we can send a communication device to them and see what they want from us,” Info suggested. 

          “Yes, we should declare war,” Divein yelled. 

          “No, I don’t think that would be necessary, Divein,” answered Info.

          King Trent replied, “What if we just go and see these Earthlings?”

          So King Trent and the crew went to the docking bay to get a ship.  They chased the hydro-powered plane.  That ship would get them to Earth in two hours. 

         

          A small planet called Earth came into Info’s view.  “We have arrived, sir,” Info called to the captain.  “Look they have a space station.”

          Let’s dock there,” King Trent commanded.

          As they arrived, they saw Earthlings in the space station.  They went in.  At first they were scared, but then they talked to the Earthlings.  They made peace and new friends.  Saturn and Earth are presently very good friends.

 

 

When Aliens Visited Earth

By MD

 

          One day when everyone was minding their own business, a big spaceship landed near my house.  I was in school when it landed.  When I got home, I saw it open up.  I went inside.  There was no one there.  It was pretty cool inside.  I went home and there they were.  They, the aliens, were inside my home.  It scared me at first. 

          I said, “What are you doing in my home?”

          They said, “Watching TV.”

          I said, “You can talk English.”

          They said, “Of course, we can talk English.”

          They had one daughter and one son with them. 

          So they lived in our garage, and the children went to school with us.  That continued for a couple of months.  Then we went to visit them at their home in space.  They lived just like us.  They had schools just like ours.  Their food wasn’t so good.  They didn’t have a mall for my sister.  You should have seen their animals.  They were a lot smaller.

 

 

 

The Cleobots

By KP

 

          Long ago on a galaxy called Three Musketeers was a planet, Rilgar, and there lived Captain Qwark.  Captain Qwark built so many undestroyable robots (unless they were under the command of Captain Qwark).  They were taking up his planet so Captain Qwark decided to build an unstoppable machine to take pieces off other planets and add to Rilgar.  Now he needed to name his genius technology, and it came to him.  “The Cleobats,” thought Captain Qwark.  Not even nuclear weaponry could destroy the Cleobots until a determined, trained young boy came along. 

          He said, “I would like to stop Captain Qwark so if you could just bring me to planet Rilgar.

           “I will,” said the boy genius.

          Everyone laughed, “You’re too little you should let us handle it,” said the soldiers. 

          Finally, a few centuries later they brought the kid.  So the kid marched straight up to Captain Qwark and said, “I command you to stop.”

          “The Cleobots won’t stop unless I say stop,” explained Captain Qwark.

           “Oh, no, I’ve said it, and now they’ve stopped working,” said Captain Qwark. 

          For now on the day Sunny III, 21000 year the kid is known and always will be.
