The Neighbors
By Rex
The perfect family lives in the perfect town. The perfect family lives at 111 Perfect Boulevard. The last name is Perfect. (with an accent.) You probably already figured that. The Perfects and the town of Perfectville are well, perfect. Then an unperfect family came to live in Perfectville. They moved to 113 Perfect Boulevard, next door to the Perfects. The Mars family, their new neighbors, are not from here, if you know what I mean.
Part 1: The Move
The Mars family came on a Tuesday. They had two kids; one ten and the other was twelve. A perfect match for the two Perfect kids.
"Gleep. Do beep," (translation: Thanks. You are appreciated.) said Thomas Mars to his mover from Mars of course.
"Agent Gwa, use Earth language," said the man.
"W-h-atever," said Gwa. (Thomas)
"You have 180 thousand dollars in your checking account. Use it. Remember your Earth Customs class."
"Ody dody."
"Good. Now, goodbye." The mover disappeared, transported by a green and blue light. Crystal Perfect, the twelve year old, walked next door.
"Hi, I'm Crystal Perfect. You must be new here." The twelve year old Mars son, Alan, ran up to her.
"I'm Alan Mars," he said. While the two talked, none of them noticed, Jay, the ten year old Perfect, had seen the beam.
Part 2: Halloween Invasion
In the Perfect house, the Perfect dad, Heath, turned on the computer. There was no new email. Suddenly his son Jay showed up. His mother, Maria, was with him.
"Dad, those new neighbors aren't from Earth," Jay said.
"Check them out," ordered Maria. Heath left the room, disgusted.
Alicia Mars was helping her father with Halloween decorations.
"Oh, hi, Mister Perfect. I'm Thomas Mars. I have a problem. What do you do with 180 thousand dollars?" Thomas asked.
"Just buy a Porsche," joked Heath. Mrs. Mars walked outside.
She whispered, "Loopa," (translation: Invasion!) A huge beam of light instantly hit the house. Everyone hit the ground. Soon the Perfects and the Mars family were transported up to an alien ship!

"Dad, it's Halloween! They'll kill kids!" exclaimed Jay when they materialized.
"I want answers," Heath demanded.
"Okay. I am Gwa, of the planet you call Mars. I am here to study Earth. We look like you. Our lungs are just different. The Whins are our mortal enemy. They are from another galaxy," Gwa (Thomas) said.
A Whin came in. They cannot be described. Whins look different to every person. To Jay, it was the guy on the oatmeal box.
"Ahhhhhhh! It's the oatmeal guy!!" screamed Jay. He ran, holding his arms over his eyes. Another Whin walked in. To Jay it was Darth Vader. He slid out the room, tripping Darth Vader. But the floor was too slippery. He slid onto the bridge. There was an image of Perfectville on a screen. It said, "WEAPONS LOCKED." Jay ran up, thinking he'd shut down the weapons. But he pushed the wrong button. He heard a cry from his father.
"Spock! James Kirk!" his father screamed.
"Missiles launched. Remember, fear is your ally. Have a nice day," said the computer. Then Gwa (Thomas) showed up. The ship started to move, following the missiles. Gwa (Thomas) then fired two more at the missiles. But they missed. Jay pressed a button. All four of the missiles exploded, saving Perfectville.
"Thank you for using Whindows. Have a nice day," said the computer. But they still had a problem. They couldn't get rid of Spock and the oatmeal guy.
Two days later, there was a "For Sale" sign at 113 Perfect Boulevard. The Mars family had gone back home, in a modified Porsche.
Authors Note: I wrote this in sixth grade. I'm in seventh right now. It is easily my funniest work. Send in reviews and comments! I also hope to make a sequel! This is not a spoof of Pleasantville. I wrote this story befre I saw it. It's much more of a spoof of sci-fi movies. Heck, you could call it an original, even though the idea's not that original......
