The next day as Tara came home from school she went right to room and started to work on her book report for her English class. However she couldn't stop wondering about her new and interesting pet her Sister Sara gave to her and continued to watch at it as the little Mogwai blinked it's eyes and looked around the room. All of a sudden there was a knock at the door.
"Hey Tara it's me can I come in?" asked Stacy
"Sure c'mon in Stacy" Tara told her
Stacy came in carrying a tray of Milk and cookies and a glass of water.
"Thought you would want a snack before Dinner is ready" said Stacy
"Thanks Stacy just put it over there near the computer" Tara said
Stacy puts the tray next to the computer where the mogwai is looking around the room still and humming to itself.
"So have you giving a name to your pet yet Tara? Asked Stacy
"No not yet but the little thing keeps on calling himself Gizmo so I might stick with that. Tara said
"Gizmo" the little mogwai replied
"Gizmo it is I guess" Tara said and with that Tara took a break from her book report and got up and took the glass of water off the table and took a drink. She set the glass down at the edge of the tray as another knock at the door and their mom's came in.
"Dinner's ready and you better see this report on the news something bad happened at that junk yard site. Her mom told them. Stacy went running down stairs and so did Tara but as she slammed the door the water glass came spilling down on Gizmo.
Gizmo screams in pain, as little bumps seem to be going up and down all over his back. One fuzz ball pops out of Gizmo's back and lands on the floor. Then another one lands on the desk. Another one in the trash can, another one lands right on the trey of milk and cookies and then finally one last one comes out and lands on the bed. The fuzz balls start to grow to the size of Gizmo and poke their heads out and look around the room.
Downstairs Tara Stacy and their mom was all watching the news and a special news bulletin came across the screen.
News anchor #1: Ladies and Gentlemen we have lost contract of Craig in that junkyard site where they found the spaceship last night. However we have sent Jason to try to see if he can go get an update and he's there right there at the Junkyard so lets send it over to him.
They go to a camera that looks to be offline but all we can see is the graveyard and a bunch of dead bodies some eaten and some with porcupine quills in their neck. We see Jason looking over the damage and tells the cameraman that he is ready to go.
Jason: Hey Lisa I am here live at the junkyard where there seems to be a large number of deaths of our news crew and some other people. Wait a minute what is that? OMG it's coming this way
All of a sudden you see a ball rolling toward the camera and this hideous creature comes out of the ball. He looks at the camera and the News anchor.
"Oh my what the" before the Anchorman finished a quill came into his neck and fell to the floor. The Guy who was holding the camera and began running away as the camera dropped and the feed cut out.
Anchorwoman #1: Folks I don't know what to say for what we just seen. All I can tell you is lock your doors and stay off the streets until the local authorities clear all those creatures out.
Tara's Mom turned off TV. "Oh my what was that thing?" Tara asked
"I don't know honey but I don't want to see it again," Her mom said
Tara headed up to the room and opened the door and screamed. Tara's Mom and Stacy came running upstairs.
"What's Wrong honey?" her mom asked
"Look" Tara said as she pointed to the bed.
There they say 6 mogwais on the bed. Some teasing each other, and Gizmo looked all gloom however the other 5 mogwais were getting along fine.
"How did they multiply?" Asked Tara
Stacy was starting to remember what the shopkeeper said. There were rules with this mogwai and she should have told her sister all along to begin with. She looked over at the desk and saw it was full of water. Then she knew that she had to tell her about it.
"Tara I need to talk to you sit down. I should have told you this when I gave you this pet. This mogwai had 3 special rules to go with it. The shop keeper told me to obey those rules and I should of told you the rules to begin with, Number 1 you can't expose them to bright light even sunlight because it could kill them. Number 2 never get them wet and it looks like we already broke that rule but that was my fault for not telling you. Number Three never feed them after midnight." Stacy explained it all as she looked in Tara's eyes
Tara thought it over and cooled down and then said, "Well you should of told me this before you ever gave me the pet.
"I agree" her mother replied. "In fact you should of got some more information about the rules before you bought it for your sister here.
"Buy Mom" Sarah replied
"That's enough it's time for bed you two and be sure to lock your doors. So those aliens or whatever they are don't get in this house." Their Mom replied
The Girls got ready for bed, and later that night. Sarah got up for a late night snack when she heard a noise coming from Tara's room. She looks in Tara's room as Tara was sleeping on her bed with Gizmo. The other mogwai's are jumping up and down as Sarah goes over to them.
"What's wrong with you guys you must be hungry" Sarah said quietly, She looked at the clock. It was only 11:45 "Ok I guess I can give you something wait here. She goes downstairs and fix up something and came up 5 min later. She put the plate down in the little box area and left. However what she didn't know is that the mogwai's waited 15 min before they ate.
