Mouse from Space – Chapter 04
It seemed Minnie's hopes, that nobody notice the alien ship, were listened by deaf ears. As she approached to the impact's place she noticed people wandering around, also huge black cars and men in black standing guard before a cordon. She parked her truck and walked to one of this big black guy.
"Excuse me." used her cute, innocent voice "May can I ask what happened here?"
"It's not your concern, little cow girl. Get lost and play with your pigs." barked rudely the guard. Minnie's eye twitched by the call. If she could she would kick him on a place where many guy whine for mommy. But she forced back her anger and batted her eyes.
"Pretty please?" but the answer was just deep growl. Minnie sighed and walked away with hands in her pocket. She walked around, looking for a spot nobody guarded, but not really found any.
"Seems I need to use some trick..." she frowned and hid in the bushes. She picked up a pebble and threw it at the nearest black man, knocking him on the head. The guard groaned and looked around frantically who hit him. He noticed some rustle from the bushes, so he began to trot that way. On the other side Minnie sneaked out from her hiding place and quietly rushed into the blocked zone.
"What an idiot..." she chuckled as she ran from a bush to another, heading to the ship. But after a few minute she needed to halt and grumble some curse. In front of her was the ship the way she left last night, but now there was a big animation around. Many person in white long coat surrounded the alien vehicle and analyzed it with strange machines. Also some examined the soil with their gadgets. Minnie bit her lips, however she tried to move closer to the ship.
"If could just get something from inside..." muttered to herself, when she felt a sudden yank by the neck of her shirt, as someone pulled her up. She let out a startled yelp "H-hey lemme go!"
"How dare you enter here, little rat?" snorted a tall mouse holding her by the neck. He wore the same black clothes like the guards, but still his appearance was a bit more elegant "This place is blocked, no one should enter!"
"Gah, I just l-left something here. Lemme go you overgrown rodent!" wiggled in the grip Minnie.
"You stupid kids just lying the same! There's nothing to see here!" he called a guard and pushed the girl into his arms "Kick her out and be sure she won't stalk in again!" he turned to the scientists who just watched the scene "What are you waiting for? I ain't paying for lazing! Get back to work!" the mouse yelled at them, and the white coated persons rushed back to their work.
The man in black meanwhile dragged the struggling Minnie outside the cordon with one hand and dropped her rough. The girl moaned as she landed on her butt, but immediately turned around and shook her hand angry at the guard.
"You damned chimp, you can't carry a lady like this!" shouted, but the big one already not listened. Minnie cursed as she stood up and dusted her jeans. She took one more sour glance at the guard and the locked field behind him, then slowly walked away "Geesh... he won't like this..." muttered to herself.
Minnie arrived back to the farm, everyone knew it by the loud slam of the truck's door. The girl was still fuming as she slowly walked to the barn. She stopped for a moment and let out a long sigh to calm herself, then stepped inside.
"I'm back." said loud, but nobody answered her just the animals. Minnie blinked and looked around "Alien? Alien are you here?" peeked behind the straw bales, but only some chicken clucked, looking for food. The girl bit her bottom lip, trying to keep calm. She searched through the whole bar, calling for the blue mouse. "Oh damn, where did he go?" groaned in panic. In the end she rushed out the barn and called him half aloud, not get anyone else attention. "Alien! Alien where are you?"
"Stop shouting. I'm not deaf!" finally she heard the voice. Minnie rolled around and looked up at the barn's roof. The mouse stood on the top, holding on the old, rusty weather-cock and watched the distant. The girl placed her hand onto her shoulder, sighing in relief.
"There you are..." said then yelped "That's not good! Hey, come down hurry before someone notice you!" she hissed worried. The alien glanced down at her, then let off the weather-cock and jumped off, landing softly next to the scared girl.
"Why it's a problem I enjoyed your planet's view?" he asked, standing up with ease and faced with the earthling. Minnie immediately pulled him back into the building. "H-hey! I wanted to enjoy it a bit more!" yelped the mouse.
"It's not safe for you out there." answered Minnie, closing the door tight behind her.
"But why? And where is my ship?" asked the alien frustrated. By this the female looked down fidgeting. The other stepped closer to her, demanding "You said you go and get my ship. So?" Minnie groaned, avoided the contact with his eyes.
"I... couldn't get it..." muttered on weak voice "When I arrived it was too late..."
"What do you mean?"
"Tsss... the place was full with weird guys! I wasn't able to get any closer to your ship." she kicked one bale angry "And when I tried to sneak into a damned rat caught me and kicked out."
"So.. you mean someone else got my ship?" the alien's eyes widened first in shock, then his marks sparkled red "Then why didn't you carried away when I landed?"
"What?" surprised Minnie "Hey, don't blame me! How the heck should I take away that thing?"
"I don't know. But it's still your fault." hissed back the mouse, whipping around his tail.
"Oh yeah? And what about the fact I saved your life?" growled back the female "Be happy I not left you on the field."
"Then why didn't you left me?" shouted the alien inside his head.
"Because I..." Minnie suddenly stopped when a new voice sounded outside the barn.
"Minnie, Minnie are you there sweet one?" it was a feminine voice, that made the girl yelp.
"Oh crud... hurry hide." she pushed the alien behind one kennel, right when an elder woman entered. "I'm here, aunt."
"I heard you shouting. Everything is alright?" asked her aunt worried. Minnie sweated a little, thinking what to do.
"Y-yes I'm just fine. I just..."
"Better if you come in before the breakfast out-cold. And you can bring your friend along too." the lady said and managed to leave the surprised mouse.
"I never told there's someone else a..." but before Minnie could finish her aunt left. She groaned and sighed sharply. "It seems I need to show you to my unc and aunt..." told the alien as he walked out the kennel, dusting some straw off his head.
"Don't think I forgave you for your trait." huffed the male, folding his arms.
"But I already said... arghhh forget it! You can't come in like this." Minnie rubbed her head, then noticed an old scarecrow in the end of the barn. She went there and dragged off the old farmer shirt and trousers. "Not the best but for now it will be fine. Here." threw them to the alien "Dress up."
"Do what?" yelped the mouse, catching the robes.
"Just hurry and dress. You can't go in naked. But what should I do with your marks..." Minnie needed to help him with the dressing. After some struggle and moan she stepped behind, looking up and down, enjoying the result. Both the shirt and trousers were baggy on the alien, but hid most of the marks and blue skin. The male however grimaced.
"Bleh I not want these. I can't breath." unbuttoned the shirt and took a deep sigh with his gills. "And they are so weird."
"Sorry but you have no other choice, or you want to be busted in the beginning?" the alien lowered his head.
"Not really." muttered then felt a hand touching his one and Minnie gently dragged him out the barn, praying inside for any kind of god to survive the breakfast
