Rupert and Earl walked down the hallway.

"He was one room away from the escape pods." Earl said.

"Yes." Rupert said. "Yes, he was."

He walked over to a room with the sign "SPACE JETS" on it.

"Are we ready?" Rupert asked.

"I've got everything we need." Earl grinned.

They opened up a door to a space jet, and climbed in, Rupert at the wheel.

Rupert and Earl flew out of the UFO.

"Alright." Earl said. "We know the plan?"

"Considering I made it up..." Rupert snarled.

"Oh yeah." Earl grinned, sheepishly.

The space Jet zoomed past Sedna, Pluto Neptune, Jupiter, and Mars in a flash.

You may be asking, "What about Uranus and Saturn?" Well, they just didn't to be around at that particular moment.

Rupert and Earl approached Earth.

"It's almost like they're inviting us." Earl grinned.

The Space Jet landed on the pavement of the deserted city.

"We just need to find one person." Earl said. "...one... person..."

Rupert and Earl searched the entire town, but found nothing.

"Everyone's left." Rupert said. "Now what?"

"They've left this town." Earl said. "But someone still has to be here."

At very moment, Earl saw something out of the corner of his eyes.

"See there?" He said. "There we are."

It was Rosalyn.

"YOU THERE!" Yelled Rupert. "HALT!"

Rosalyn looked up.

When she saw two aliens slithering towards her, she did the only thing she could do. She ran.

"Oh no you don't!" Earl snarled.

He whipped a rope, and pelted it at Roz.

The rope wrapped around her legs and she fell over.

"HEY!" She yelled.

Rupert casually slithered up to Rosalyn.

"Hello, Rosalyn." He said.

Rosalyn gasped.

"I know you! You're that alien that Calvin kept talking abou... He was telling the truth?"

"Correct." Rupert said. "and now that he is out of way, Earth is ripe for the picking."

Rosalyn blinked.

"Wasn't it already?" She asked.

"No." Earl said.

"Well, enough chit chat."

Rupert pointed a small ray like gun thing at Rosalyn.

"Let's get down to business."

Rupert pulled the trigger.

Rosalyn screamed.

The blast hit her.

Suddenly, she became quiet.

Her eyes turned a bright red color, and a red light surrounded her.

"I love to do that!" Earl laughed.

Rosalyn got up.

"All hail Rupert." She hissed under her breath. "All Hail Rupert."

"I like that part the best." Rupert told Earl.

"Well OK." Earl said. "Give her the word."

"Spread the word around Rosalyn." Rupert growled. "Tell everybody of their new leader."

Rosalyn's eyes flashed blue, then she walked away.

Rupert and Earl followed.

Rosalyn walked up to Calvin's door, and knocked.

Nobody answered.

"Blast the door over." Rupert ordered.

Roz's eyes flashed blue, again, and she kicked the door over with one kick.

"ROSALYN!" Mom yelled. "What are you..."

Rosalyn held up an hand and pointed it at Mom.

A blast of red light illuminated from it.

It hit Mom.

"AA!" She screamed, but then her eyes flashed red, and she closed her mouth.

"What is it?"

Dad ran downstairs.

"Have the aliens..."

Mom and Rosalyn held their hands up at Dad.

"YIKES!" Dad yelled.

Rosalyn missed Dad, but Mom got a direct hit.

"This doesn't build any character." Dad muttered right before his eyes turned bright red.

Rupert and Earl threw their heads back and laughed.

"Watch this." Earl said.

He pointed that same mind controlling ray, and pointed it into the sky.

-ZAP!-

Rupert grinned.

Yellow rays filled the skies.

Then landed in different places all over the Earth.

Three of the blasts landed in Mexico. Another four landed in... Oh what do you care? They landed in a whole bunch of places on Earth.

"I grantee," Earl said. "We'll have this planet taken over by the end of the day."

They burst out laughing again.

The end of the day came fast.

Soon, there were only three people on Earth that hadn't been affected by Rupert's Mind control device; Susie, Mr, and Mrs. Dirkins.

Of corse.

The Dirkins were returning from their vacation from Someplace over by California.

They had to go through town though to reach their house.

"Wow." Mrs. Dirkins said. "This place is usually swarming with people."

Susie looked around.

Some building doors had been knocked over, and it had a really haunting silence.

At last, they reached their house.

They all got out, and walked to the front door.

The opened the door, and gasped.

The entire place had been trashed.

Pictures, clothes, and food were strewn across the floors.

Susie found the couch in the kitchen, Susie's Dad found the Refrigerator in the bedroom, and nobody could find the TV.

"What happened?" Mrs. Dirkins wondered out loud.

"I'm going to check my room." Susie said.

She rushed over to the room on the far end of the house.

She opened the door.

Her closet had been ripped out of the wall, and was laying on the floor, her dolls were strewn across the room, and several were missing heads, and the bed was missing.

Susie came back outside.

"My room's been trashed too." She said.

There was no answer.

"Mom? Dad?"

No answer.

Susie walked across the house.

She peeked outside.

There was nobody around.

"MOM!" Susie called. "DAD!"

"Ah, Hello Susan." Said a voice.

Susie spun around.

Rupert was standing on the roof of here house along with Earl. Both were in their human disguises.

"You!" Susie yelled. "But you were in prison! What's going on here?"

Rupert and Earl leaped down from the roof.

"Has Calvin been telling you anything weird, lately?" Earl asked.

Susie stared at them.

"He's been telling me weird things since the day I met him." Susie said. "And they've been getting weirder ever since!"

Rupert and Earl exchanged glances.

"Um... What was the latest weird thing he said?" Rupert asked.

"That the entire population of North Dakota were mindless, nose picking zombies." Susie said.

Rupert and Earl exchanged glaces.

"What was the latest weirdest thing he said about aliens?" Earl asked.

"That Martians were invading the mindless, nose picking zombies of North Dakota." Susie replied.

Rupert and Earl sighed.

"What was the latest thing he said about aliens in a forest and in a cruise ship?" Rupert demanded. "And omit all references to Martians and North Dakota."

Susie thought.

"Oh yeah." She remembered. "He said that a crew of Jupiteroids carried a cruise ship into a forest so the local zombies wouldn't eat them."

Rupert slapped his forehead, and Earl let his head fall to his chest.

This was getting them nowhere.

"Forget the hints." Rupert grumbled.

And with that Rupert and Earl ripped off their sunglasses.

Susie screamed.

Rupert and Earl screamed with laughter, and phased back into their alien forms.

Susie screamed again.

"I know you!" She shrieked. "You're the aliens that Calvin told me about! You showed up in a forest and on a cruise shi..."

She thought for a second.

"Duh." She said to herself.

Rupert grinned, and snapped his fingers.

Right before Susie's eyes, all of the population of the town leaped from their hiding places. Susie;'s parents were in that group. All of them were holding their hands out, and moaning in a deathly fashion.

Kind of reminds you of those nose picking zombies that Calvin was talking about, doesn't it?

Susie screamed.

Rupert put on a microphone headset, and screeched, "SEIZE HER SLAVES!"

"All hail Rupert." The townsfolk said in their none changing tone. "All hail Rupert."

Susie screamed, and rushed out of the group.

The people all reached for Susie, but she made her way out of the mass of people.

"DON'T LET HER GET AWAY!" Rupert ordered, pointing in the direction of Susie.

The public turned chanting that meaningless phrase about Rupert, and started walking after Susie.

That's what made it even more creepy. They didn't run or zoom after Susie. They walked. Just as casually as if they were going for a morning stroll.

Susie ran into town.

That was kind of a mistake.

Hundreds of people emerged from buildings and limped and casually walked for Susie.

Susie was surrounded.

Susie zoomed into a restaurant that happened to be empty at the moment.

She rushed into the kitchen, and locked the door, behind her.

And no, I don't know why the kitchen door had a lock on it.

Susie backed up into the corner of the room, as the society of the town broke the windows over, and stalked for the kitchen door.

Susie panted as she watched several dark figures with glowing red eyes surrounded the door, and stared in at her.

Susie heard Rupert's voice outside of the kitchen.

"The entire restaurant is surrounded, Susan." He said.

Why did Rupert insist on calling her Susan? Susie had no idea.

"I can tell them to break the door over at any time your ready." Rupert said. "Just give me the word."

There was a long moment of silence as Susie stared at the door.

"Uh... Any time now." Rupert said.

Susie continued to stare at the door.

"I'm really getting impatient, Dirkins." Rupert snarled. "I happen to have a life!"

Susie blinked.

"Ok, Fine, have it your way! SALVES!"

The public pushed their hands into the door.

It began to bend, and give way.

Susie curled up into a ball, and sat there, shaking. Worthless to the end.

Just then, the door fell over and the entire swarm of people entered the room. Oh, and they were still walking.

Susie screamed.

"AAAA! CALVIN! HELP!

Miss Wormwood shot a blast of red light at Susie.

It hit her, and she became quiet real quickly.

"All hail Rupert." She muttered. "All Hail Rupert."
