The only noises that could be heard were coming from Lee's Nintendo and the movement of everyone as we spread out looking for whatever the aliens were here for.
"I can't see anything that an alien would bother coming to Earth for" I called out from my corner of the basement, "Unless they travelled across the galaxy for-" I stopped and opened a box marked Fragile "china."
"China?" Hannah questioned running over to me, "That's not China" she pouted after looking into the box, "They're just plates."
"They are?" I asked pulled a shocked face, "Tom! They're plates!" I yelled waving to get the attention of my best friend.
He turned to me and raised an eyebrow, "Don't we have something important to do?"
"Oh" I pulled the same shocked face, he didn't look amused. Turning on the balls of my feet I twirled in a circle "Well I can't see an alien-" I stumbled attempting to think of something "toaster or whatever around!"
"Well, whatever it is," Jake spoke up as he grabbed a rake from somewhere gaining the attention of the room, "we can't let them get to it."
"Everyone, gear up. We move on my command." He ordered us, and I took a second to appreciate the sight of Jake in taking control knowing Tom would butt in any minute.
"Now, just hold on"
"Called it" I mumbled moving to stand beside him patting Lee's helmet covered head as I passed.
"If we run up there with a bunch of random junk, we're gonna get creamed." Tom continued as he fiddled with a piece of pipe, "We can make something better."
"We're in the middle of a battle, and you wanna play science fair?" Jake asked sending Tom a look as if he thought he was an idiot.
"To be honest" I looked around our little make shift army, "I don't want to go up against these little, little green dudes with rakes" I nodded to the rake still in Jake's hand, "I think we should listen to Tom"
"No way" Jake shook his head starting to get more worked up judging by how red his face was getting, "We're going back in now, before our parents end up as alien zombies."
"You're not thinking." Tom, ever the voice of reason, stepped towards Jake and looked him in the eyes, "We need a plan. I already have a great idea for a weapon."
"Really?" Jake laughed mockingly before turning to the twins and throwing the rake to Lee, "Let's go." When the twins just stood there he snapped, "Now."
The twins quickly got it together and ran out carrying their chosen weapons of a rake and a mop following behind Jake, Lee quickly grabbing a red umbrella on his way out.
I rotated my body watching them run as I stayed next to Tom. "Did they really just run out to fight deadly, midget aliens with a rake, a mop and an umbrella?" I asked slightly confused,
"Yup." Tom answered before turning towards Hannah, "Hannah, hand me that tape."
When Tom finished building his awesome looking potato cannon we quickly made our way upstairs,
"Hey Nate. Hey Nanna!" We yelled as we rushed up the stairs, as we got closer to where the entrance to the attic was I could hear the twin's voices,
"Now what are gonna do?"
"I don't know!"
We stopped and looked at the closed door in front of us, "Stay behind me" Tom told us before pushing the door open.
As soon as we entered the room we were greeted with multiple, loud objections,
"No! Don't! Don't!"
"Don't!
"There's no gravity!"
"Oh shit" I cried out not even thinking about censoring myself as I started to lift off the floor, I quickly grabbed onto Hannah's hand and pulled her towards me in case the gravity turned back on suddenly.
Tom, Hannah and I floated up to the furniture covered ceiling as we drifted over to Jake and the twins. My hair lifted off my neck and floated around my head as if I was underwater and I tightened my hold on Hannah.
I'm so glad I'm not wearing a dress.
"Hello, humans."
I turned my head to see the alien bitch whose nails we chopped off poking her head through the cracked open attic entrance,
"Enjoying the ride?" the manly one joined her causing me to groan in annoyance, great another one.
The two aliens climbed out of the attic and pressed buttons on their boots, they slowly floated down to the ground.
"They have gravity boots!" Art yelled in shock as the aliens started walking towards the door,
"Why don't we have gravity boots?" Lee asked sounding extremely jealous and truth be told so was I.
"They have gravity boots" The lady alien mocked as they got closer to the door, wait the door.
"The door!" I yelled guiding Hannah to hold onto the bean bag next to us in case I would need to slap a bitch, "Stop them! Use your weapon Tom!" Jake yelled as we helplessly watched from the ceiling.
"Bring it meat sack" the manly one goaded turning to look up at us,
"Today!" Jack screamed as Tom shot a potato towards them, the force pushing him to the back of the room.
"A potato gun? That's your big idea?" Jake questioned watching Tom hit a window.
"My plan is working" The manly alien observed smugly, "my plan. You mean my plan." The lady corrected as they started back towards the door.
"Tom!" I yelled panicked watching them get closer, "hurry Tommy!" I heard Hannah call out.
I turned to see Tom flying towards us using a fire-extinguisher to propel himself forward, "Careful!" I warned not wanting to see him face-plant into a wall.
He rammed into the door closing it and quickly locking it using the lock that was conveniently at the top of the door, "Go Tommy!" I cheered wincing when I hit my head hit the ceiling.
Tom looked down at the extinguisher still in his hands and turned it on the little, green buggers.
It seemed to be working, before it ran out.
