Ok, it's official! I'm a lazy butt! AND YOU PEOPLE CAN'T REALLY CHANGE THAT AHAHA. No, I'm not just trying to be evil, but I am SERIOUSLY lazy. Ok, enough blabbering, don't kill me even though you can't, ONTO THE SUMMARY STORY!

Last time, on Alien Talk! Ok, too cliche? I may need to change the name of this fic. ANYWAY, last chapter, Taruto gets thrown into the Fong time schedule, Kish is still sick (I'll fix him up, I promise!) and Ryou about to hear a really big alarm in about 3… 2… Don't-own-TMM! 1…

Ryou leaned back and sighed, relaxing. He closed his eyes and savoured the last of the cake he just had. Then he nearly jumped out of his skin. A loud, obnoxious sound was coming from the basement.

Annoyed, Ryou hurried downstairs and glanced at the screen. "Not again! But this is unusual, they don't attack so often, or so lat-" He cut himself off when he saw exactly where the alarm was coming from.

"They're attacking Pudding's house?" His eyes widened and he quickly tried to contact the girls. For a long moment, none of them responded. Then he heard a single beep. "I'll try to be there as fast as I can!" Lettuce said as she threw back the covers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\-0-/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Taruto blinked and turned over for the hundredth time. He looked over at Pudding's sleeping figure. Actually, he wasn't sure whether she was asleep or awake. Pudding didn't snore, or really do anything while sleeping. Except breathing. And smiling, he guessed.

He closed his eyes again, and groaned again, and turned over and repeated the process. After about an hour, Taruto finally grew restless. He sat up and looked over at Kish, who was sweating and still mumbling, but at least he was asleep. Taruto rose into the air, then teleported outside, only moments before Pudding's pendant started to flash.

He stared up at the moon, and the countless stars. He wondered if his planet, now flourishing, was visible. He let his imagination run wild and picked out several tiny stars that could possibly be his planet, even though he knew it was several light years away.

He floated in the air, leaned back in an invisible chair, and sighed, just like Ryou had minutes ago. He didn't know how long he was there, staring up at the stars and the moon. Only a green light appeared some blocks away caught his attention.

Taruto really really wanted to think that it was just some reckless kids lighting fires or setting fireworks. Something to do with fire, at least. But he'd seen flashes like that back when he was an invader. It seemed so long ago, even though it was really only a few months. Well, more like almost a year, but it was only one month off.

His mind wandered for a while, but then he remembered what had happened and Taruto shifted into a cross-legged position. A small but quickly growing green figure was running down the street towards him. Mew Lettuce. Even from this far away, his sharp alien eye could see that she had her Lettustanet's in her hands. He started to wonder why she was here and armed.

It struck him suddenly. The Mew's boss did have detection devices. That's how half their plans had worked in the past. No doubt those devices picked up 'alien activity'- Taruto still found this bizarre, since his race came first- and the Mew's had come to fight them.

He focused on the porpoise mew a bit more. Well, one Mew had come to fight. It was late out, so he wasn't that surprised. No, he was surprised that anyone had shown up. The Mew was now turning her castanets toward him… Oh no. Taruto stopped thinking as he ducked below the water blast, barely missing him by a finger. The next water blast caught him by the chest and he flew backward. Luckily, several vines burst out of the ground and caught him before he could slam into Pudding's house.

"Oye!" He yelled, picking up on his older, and now sick, comrade. "Stop attacking me, will you?" Another blast was already heading toward him, but this one he dodged easily. Mew Lettuce got closer and lowered her weapons. "Taruto?" She questioned.

Taruto flew closer to the Mew. "Yeah, fish, now please explain to me why you decided to attack?" Mew Lettuce just stood there, speechless for a moment. Then, as usual, she broke down into apologies. "Gomenasai! I didn't know you were- I thought the other's- gomenasai!"

Taruto blinked several times, not understanding a word she was saying. Other than her apologies, her half sentences didn't make any sense. "What do you mean 'others'? There are others attacking?" Taruto mind flashed back to his own world.

Just a few days after they healed their own planet, three of their warriors had… not disappeared exactly, but left. They had taken one of the newest models starship with them, and hadn't been seen since. Could it be possible that they had gone back to Earth? But why?

"Yes. Other aliens have been attacking." Mew Lettuce's face was now replaced with one of confusion. "You didn't know?" Taruto shook his head, thinking hard. Did those three really come here to attack? He still didn't know them that well, not even sure he knew their names.

Mew Lettuce's pendent started to flash. "Lettuce! What are you doing?" Ryou's panicky voice could be heard. Lettuce pinched the sides of her pendant lightly and explained that it wasn't the attacking aliens. "Kisshu, Taruto and Pai came back?!"

"Hey, no need to sound that surprised." Taruto said. "And a really angry Pai will be here in a few days. AND it's pretty late out. Can we save explanations for morning?" Taruto suddenly felt a lot more tired than he was an hour ago. They both heard some unintelligible mumbling on the other side, then Ryou said "Fine. But YOU will not go anywhere near the Cafe."

With that, Ryou cut the connection. An awkward silence filled the front lawn of Pudding's house. "So… I guess I'll just go?" Lettuce said awkwardly, transforming back into her regular, not-threatening, slightly-nerdy-like-Pai form.

Looking at her, Taruto remembered Operation Fish-Pie. The plan was originally supposed to get Pai to admit he likes Lettuce, but why not switch it up until Pai gets here? Taruto inwardly grinned. Operation Fish-Pie #2: Get Lettuce to admit she likes Pai before Pai gets here and kills them! Taruto thought that was an amazing idea.

While Taruto cooked up his new plan, Lettuce returned back to her house, wondering what was going to happen in the morning.

Yay, I just love cliffhangers, don't you? No? Aw. Well, you're going to have to stick with it for now. Oh yeah, I added in Lettuce's reaction for extra. And for the other alien invaders… well, I actually I did start writing out some plots for a new alien threat, that I did not post here. I guess I will when this fic is past the point of reactions. Tried to put some sort of humor into this. Wow, I have a habit of starting out strong, then dwindling away to nothing.

Anyway, review! Please. Still a little depressed that I've only got 6 reviews, and more than half of them are from the same person. Not that I'm not grateful, Soccer-Geek! Thanks! Mew Shadowfang out!
