The Day I Became An Alien The day I became an alien was a cold, rainy afternoon in August. I was sitting on a green ants nest and wondering why my ass was stinging when suddenly I heard a whirring noise above my head. I looked up to see a tiny, bright green spaceship hovering above me. “Hullo,” I said, cheerfully. “What planet are you from?” The spaceship flashed a couple of lights at me in response. “Cool,” I replied. “I’ve never been to Planet Zargoth but I’ve been to Planet Chacca. It’s just a couple of galaxies over.” The spaceship whirred interestedly. It began to hover a bit lower.....then lower.....and lower still, until the bottom of the spaceship was almost touching my head. I heard a small POP and suddenly I was sitting in the middle of a round room. Blue and purple lights flashed on the walls and there was a small hole down towards the floor. I bent down to inspect it but suddenly a blue and purple spotted furry Thing came rolling through the hole towards me. It gave out a squeak as it jumped out of its ball form and stood before me. It was about 30 centimetres tall and had zigzagged antennae’s coming from the top of its head. “Why, hullo,” I said, bending over and shaking his furry hand. Grinning happily at me, he replied, “Zeep bong choy.” It was then that I noticed his bloodshot eyes and the waft of smoke which had followed him through the hole. “Oh cool!” I yelled, excitedly. “So we can smoke up here in space!?” The alien giggled cheekily and slurred, “Yar, zook wop ming” I nodded and smiled slyly at him in understanding. “I know exactly what ‘ya mean!” I replied, winking at him. “Now to the magic smoke!” The alien giggled again and turned back to the hole. The hole began to grow larger until it was big enough to fit me as well as the alien. I followed him through the hole into a larger round room with big blue bubbles floating in the air. Ten more furry blue and purple aliens sat around the room on bigger, bright green bubbles hovering just above the ground. A table in between them held seven bongs and five pipes. The alien which I had followed into the room pointed at himself and said, “Zim.” He pointed to the others, one by one. “Zonk, Yoink, Blimp, Zinno, Groski, Sazzy, Dinko, Fozzi, Daruza and Yicki.” As Zim said each name, they turned to me and nodded their heads, giggling joyfully. Zim, then pointed to me and said to the others, “Guzzle.” I had hardly enough time to wonder how Zim knew my name when a bong was pushed into my hand and I was pushed down into a spare green bubble/chair/thing. After I had had my tenth cone (the cone piece kept refilling itself), I began to feel a bit dizzy. One of the giant blue bubbles floating in the air floated down till it was right in front of my face. It began to push against my face and refused to burst. Suddenly I felt the bubble envelope my head. It began to grow bigger and bigger until it was enveloping my entire body. I giggled happily as I watched blue and purple fur begin to grow over my body. I felt two antennae’s begin to grow from the top of my head as I began to shrink. It was all over within a few minutes. The bubble enveloping me dissolved and my new alien family laughed with glee to find I was now like them. I was now an alien. The End.
