Chapter 3
Point of view: Franky.
The wind started howling as I put the box on the sled.
" could possibly be worse than pulling a sled and a heavy box through the howling wind?" I said to myself.
I tied some rope to the sled to make it easier for least the igloo isnt far from the music store. I started walking.
(About 10 minutes later.)
"So 'grunts' tired" I said to myself as I knocked on the igloo door.
"Hey your back!" Petey K said.
"Yeah. Little help?" I said.
"Sure" he said.
He drags it inside and I closed the door.
"Hey Franky" Stompin Bob said. "So you finally got her a present? Do you need some wrapping paper?" he asked.
"Yeah I need some. Do you have any?" I asked
"I might. I will go look in my room. Back in a second" he said.
(5 minutes later)
"I found some!" he exclaimed.
Suddenly the whole igloo started shaking.
"EARTHQUAKE!" I shouted. The chairs were shaking, the table was shaking, all the equipment and shelves were shaking violently.
"EVERYONE OUTSIDE NOW!" Petey K said.
The 3 of us ran outside.
"Hey guys, look up!" Stompin Bob said.
"What is that?" I said.
ON BOARD THE SPACE CRAFT:
(Alarm sirens start going off inside)
(Note: I called them Human 1 and Human 2 because we are going to learn their names later on)
Point of view: Human 1
Human 2: "AHHH! WE ARE GOING DOWN! MAYDAY MAYDAY!" he shouted.
The craft started rotating.
Human 1: "Thank you Mr Captain Obvious. Where did you put that manual?
Human 2: We dont have time to look for it! We started rotat-". he stopped in mid sentance.
I looked at him.
Human 2: "Point taken" he said.
Human 1: "Quick! Put all the IMPORTANT files into the escape pod!
Back on the ground:
"Whatever or whoever is on board that ship is in trouble! It's going way too fast to land!" I said.
I took out my phone and texted Cadence really fast:
Franky: CADENCE! GET OVER HERE! YOU WONT BELIEVE THIS!
Cadence: Whats wrong Franky?
Franky: NOTHING IS WRONG! BUT COME OVER HERE QUICK!
Cadence: Ok. Dont panic. I will be there in about 5 minutes.
I didnt realised I was texting in caps until I sent the last message.
For the next five minutes we stared at the ship that is going directly towards us.
"Hey guys! Cold weather today!" Cadence said. "What are you looking at?"
Silence.
"HELLO!" She shouted.
We all jumped and looked at her.
"What is going on here?" she asked, with a confused look on her face.
"Not here! Up there!". I pointed towards the craft.
"Oh my... is that an alien spacecraft?" she asked, looking up.
"The more modern word for that is UFO" Stompin Bob said.
"Which is...?" she said.
"Undindentified Flying Object" Petey K said.
"Oh. That makes sense." she said.
We all looked back up.
Suddenly, there was a bang which made the 4 of us jump. Well, it was sort of like a small explosion. There was a smaller object which detached itself from the big craft, which started to go on fire. That small craft was going reasonably fast for its size.
"Woah!" I said.
The small craft started to go straight down, heading directly for the clearing in the woods that are next to us.
Suddenly, what looked like parachutes came from the top of the craft. There were about 4. They were orange with white stripes on them. The craft started to slow down.
"Guys, whatever we are dealing with here, obviously has intelligence" Stompin Bob said.
"Could be true" Petey K said.
"What do you mean could be true?" Cadence said, putting her hands on her hips, and staring at Petey.
"Uhh... I... ummm..." Petey said.
"Yeah. I thought so. There IS intelligence behind this craft. Which MEANS there are ALIENS INSIDE!" Cadence shouted at Petey.
"Theres.. no.. need to.. shout.. Cadence" Petey said.
"Hey-" Cadence was going to say something but I stood in front of her.
"Cadence". I looked her in the eye. "Theres no need to be worried or afraid" I said.
"Im not worried or afraid" she said as she crossed her flippers and had a cross look on her face.
"Cadence. You are acting like a little penguin" I said hoping not to get into a big argument.
I have to admit, she does look cute when she is cross.
"FRANKY! Dont you EVER say that to me again!" she shouted angrily.
Her face was starting to go red. Uh oh.
