Unlike Tommy expecting his mom to think, he and Dil did believe that she would never let anything bad happen to them. But how was she to know that on that very night the most horrible of all bad things would happen? She wasn't. It was now 6 AM and Tommy and Dil were very much asleep. Out of nowhere the window flew open and wind started to blow inside. Then a giant green light shone on Dil's face and woke him up. Dil started to float up to the green light. Dil was now floating over the city and things began to look tiny.

"Wheeee!" Dil yelled

Because he wasn't even a year old, Dil didn't realize that he was being abducted. Not by a kidnapper, but by aliens! Once he got into the UFO he started looking around and saw the heads of people from other planets that the aliens had experimented on. The pilots of the spaceship, named Stew and DeDe came up to Dil, and each of them were carrying some scientific supplies. One of them looked like Dil's mom except she was green and had yellow hair. The other looked like Dil's dad except he was green and had red hair.

"Agf'g ghskf rew thgmsirnh. (Let's begin the experiment.)" said Stew

"Daddy!" Dil yelled

"Yjim rew? (What the?) P retgh as jgii jgzmbk er Xsatyu. (I think it just called me Father.)" Stew said in amazement.

"Frt'n op hijvrfgsd Stew. (Don't be ridicules Stew.)" DeDe said.

"Mommy!" Dil yelled.

"Thju b etunim, uoy dluoc op thgir! (Wait a minute, you could be right!) As jgzmbk gy Rehtom. (It just called me Mother.)" said DeDe.

"Uoy wonk yjim, P frt'n tnaw er thgmsirnh yo suyt neila. (You know what, I don't want to experiment on this alien.)" Stew told DeDe.

"Haey, ew dluohs esiar it eno fo ruo nwo. (Yeah, we should raise it as one of our own.)" DeDe said.

"P yas ew eman as Colorado. (I say we name it Colorado.)" Stew suggested.

"Dereh'w uoy emoc pu htiw taht? (Where'd you come up with that?)" DeDe asked.

"P was as nettirw erehwemos yo suyt tenalp. (I saw it written somewhere on this planet.)" Stew answered.

So that's what they did. They set coarse back for their home planet, Staffenhoch. They traveled for a long time until they got to their planet and exited the UFO. Dil had no idea when he would ever see Earth again. It could be a few days, a few weeks, a few months, even a few centuries. But one thing was for sure, he was now a Staffenhochtor.
