Chapter Eleven
"You were trying to prove that we were real?" asked Zero.
"Yeah," I answered.
"Why were you risking your life to prove us?" asked Slimy.
"I don't know really. It was the right thing to do," I said.
"You're lucky you got Slimy," said Zero.
"I didn't care if I died or not," I said.
After the part where I was filming myself was over, the video tape ended, but a few seconds later, another part started.
"What?" I questioned.
It was showing Slimy filming himself.
"Hi everyone!" he said to the camera.
"It's me," said Slimy.
"My name is Slimy! This is Jaycee!" he said to the camera.
The camera showed me sleeping in my bed.
"Ha ha! Humans are funny when they sleep! By the way, if this is gonna be my new television program I must say that Boss is pathetic and I'm gonna kill him with my bare hands one day! But that's not what this television episode will be about today. Today I am going to read this piece of paper Jaycee wrote. It's got questions for aliens. I know the answers and I will answer her questions," he said.
Zero laughed.
"Nice on Slimy," he said.
"Look at how little I was," said Slimy.
"Yeah, now your big and ugly," said Zero.
The video tape showed Slimy holding a piece of paper which had my questions written on it.
"Jaycee's first question is: On the night when the power died worldwide, what was the object floating up into the sky she saw? Now everyone who lived to see that object must be aware that it was all the logic, theories, and given discoveries anyone has ever made. The night that we landed, everything in the world was reversed. We call that object, the Magic Box. Without that box, we were unable to turn into human reflections. Next question: On the news there was a hole in the ocean. What caused that? The answer is: The main spaceship where majority of aliens came out of. To answer another question, three-hundred and twenty-six spaceships landed that night. Other questions here I will answer all at once, why was the sky green? Why was there an earthquake? And why did the power die? This is all one answer: When the spaceships landed and the Magic Box was opened, everything was reversed and the World changed. More questions here are: There was an alien at the mall who killed a girl. Why didn't that alien kill Jaycee when the alien looked right at her? The answer: Each alien can only kill the human they are assigned to. Based on the description Jaycee wrote about this alien, I believe I know who he is. There's only one alien who could be described this way who is my cousin, 482916. Two more questions left. The first: Why does Boss want human hearts? The answer: Boss is trying to take over the universe by conquering other planets. We are required to bring back the heart of the human we are assigned to or we'll die. He doesn't use the hearts for anything, only proof that humans are dead. Last question: What is the point of reflections not doing what the human does and why did the aliens choose reflections? Now Jaycee, this question is rather weird but I am going to try to explain. Aliens didn't choose reflections. When Boss created the Magic Box, then he had the choice of sending us to kill humans any way he liked. Why reflections? I have no idea at all. I think it's just to creep you guys out and then you die. It's sick I know. The reason why your reflection won't follow is complicated. You see, when we're a reflection, we're not inside the mirror. We're inside your head. It's almost like an opt-opic-optical illusion. The reason why your reflection moves at first is because we're waiting for the right time to…well…attack I suppose. Then your reflection stops moving because we're now behind you ready to kill you. It's all in your head and is also caused by the Magic Box and it's twisted logic. Nothing will make sense here on earth anymore. Not until we kill Boss and the Magic Box is destroyed. Until that happens, all planets are doomed for eternity. It's up to us Jaycee. I'm sorry your planet got in this mess. But together, I know we can stop Boss, and surely if something goes wrong, I'll sacrifice myself for you," he said.
After that, the video ended.
For several minutes, I said nothing. No one did.
Once again, Zero was the one to break the silence.
"I think I need to have a talk with you, Slimy," he said.
Slimy nodded and his antennas drooped like what a dog's ears would do if the dog was sad.
I thought it was funny how alien antennas were just like animal ears. They would twitch when there's an odd noise, and they showed the alien's emotion.
Unless you were Zero.
His antennas were trained to just droop behind his head unless he heard something strange, then he'd stick on of his antennas up in the air.
Slimy must've been feeling sad right now.
"What's wrong, Slimes?" I asked.
Slimy looked over at me. His big, black eyes looked watery.
"Nothing," he said bitterly.
Zero grabbed one of Slimy's antennas and dragged him downstairs and outside.
I followed them but hid behind a pile of rubble when I heard them talking.
"Look Slimy, you know you weren't supposed to ever answer any questions," said Zero.
"I was young then. I didn't know," said Slimy.
"Yeah well, now you do know. I realize that Jaycee is our friend and you really like her, but we still can't trust her fully. She could always go on her own and try to kill all aliens," said Zero.
"No. Jaycee won't do that. She would've done that a long time ago if she was going to. She's my best friend and we both trust each other," said Slimy.
