Hi!
So, this is just a little small Original-Story, coming up my TV-frizzled brain one New Year's Eve... and I just wanted to share it with you.
That's always running through my mind while I'm watching the fireworks... so, maybe New Year will never be the same again after this ;)
Enjoy and a Happy New Year to ya all!!!
Alien-Invasion – and why it's never gonna happen…
Once upon a time… Naw! This story starts different. Listen up:
It was a dark and cold night on Earth, the day the Aliens came.
They were hiding just out of our scanning-devices.
Braab, the Great Conqueror, stood on his two spidery legs in the middle of Command, barking orders in an unknown tongue to his inferiors.
"Tonight! Tonight is the night Earth will finally be ours, Comrades!" would be the translation of the hissing and clicking sounds he made.
"We will commemorate victory. We will invade them in the darkest hours. No one will anticipate an attack tonight. So it will be! All Aliens on Battle-Station! We will first conquer Europe and make it our military base, and from there we will spread like a disease and enslave whole mankind!"
And with that the Aliens prepared to make Earth their own.
23.55 – European Time
No one knew what evil was about to happen. Mankind was obvious to the ongoing Invasion. People only celebrated tonight's Event. Let's have a peek at how things seemed that night for the human race.
"Comon! Will you hurry up? It's almost midnight! And it's New Year's Eve… that's just once a year, so move it. I want to get the fireworks started as soon as the clock rings midnight. Hurry!!!"
And at midnight the fireworks started over Europe.
0.00 - Alien Battleship
At the same time the fireworks started over Europe Braab's Battleship started its attack. But all the Explosions let the Invasion come to an all too soon stop. The Alien's panicked and again in a loud hissing and clicking they asked their Fleet-Admiral for advice:
"Oh no! They have sighted us! They attack! What are we gonna do now! Oh Great Conqueror, what are we going to do?"
Braab was stunned; he hadn't considered the humans to fight back. He thought about his options, but seeing the Multi-Explosions outside the Battleship and recognizing the fierceness of the counter-attack he decided the following:
"Fallback! Fallback Comrades! We'll leave them in false safety, pretending we will assign our intention. But we will come back soon. And next time we'll attack the Continent America and there the biggest force on the Earth's surface - the United States of America!"
With that the Battleship turned, and soon enough the Explosions over Europe died down… everything was calm again.
Almost 8 hours later – somewhere in the US
It was a cold and crisp night; just as it had to be on the last day of the old year.
And another peek at yet another every-day-American-family let's us find out, what we already know. It's only minutes before midnight – at the New Year's Eve:
"It's almost midnight let's go outside! Prepare for the fireworks! I hope they are as beautiful as last year!!!"
Folks were cheering as the first fireworks exploded into the night-sky to banish the old and welcome the new year.
Like people in Europe they were obvious to what was going on far, far above their heads…
0.00 – Alien Battleship –somewhere over the US
"That's unbelievable. This Defence-System seems to be spread over the whole planet. There's no coming through!" Braab shouted frustrated, as again Explosions rocked the Battleship of the Aliens.
"Why didn't we know about this! Earthlings seem to be very sophisticated. Stop the Invasion and let's head back home. We'll come back and try again next year!!!"
Again the Battleship retreated, and soon was swallowed by the darkness of the Universe, to come back and try again – on New Year's Eve in one year…
