The very next day after school Elliott rode his bike back to where ET's spaceship landed as that was where their machine was built and used. Once he made it he sent his massage-

"Hi ET, it's me Elliott. I've called to see how you've been back at your home. Let me tell you, my life has definitely changed in so many ways. So many asked about what happened, I want to tell them about you but I don't really think they'd believed me. I just wanted you to know about what's been going on over here. So I hope you hear from this and contact me back. Sincerely, Elliott. P.S, I miss you."

After that Elliot rode his bike home with the machine in his backpack, hoping ET would get his message soon. Back on The Green Planet, ET got a call from Zandrew. He picked it up saying-

"Hey Zrek, you're not gonna believe this!"

"What is it?"

"It's Elliott, your friend from Earth. He just left a message for you on the messaging machine. So when you get back today, remember to take a look at it."

ET was so happy to hear that. Tears of joy were running down his face. After all of that Zandrew ended the call saying he'd see him at the end of the day. ET gave the biggest smile he ever had in a long time. And after a week of being shamed and not seeing his friends this was the best thing he's heard. He was so happy that he didn't notice that a line of four people were at the desk. After checking them in and finishing up the day he went home. Once he got home he ran as fast as he could to the messaging machine to see what Elliott sent him. ET was happy to know that Elliott was doing okay after he left Earth. He was going to send a message back to Elliott until he heard a knock at the door followed by Zandrew answering it. It was King Zarthur at the door. He then walked inside to ET with a sterned look on his face. That look let ET know he meant business. ET had no idea why he was there and why he looked so angry.

Zandrew walked over to them and asked Zarthur-

"What's the matter King Zarthur?"

"You two should know what the problem is. I overheard that someone on Earth had left a message to this planet. So I had a sick feeling the message was for you so I decided to check and I knew it. Do you have any idea how much damage that could have done to this planet?"

ET had a sick feeling in his stomach. He knew he was in even bigger trouble than before. So he asked Zarthur what he was going to do to him this time.

"Well Zrek, I think it's plain and simple. Not only are you fired from your job, your job license is officially suspended for the next five years! While I won't banish you I will say this, you are a descries to this Planet and it's good name."

And with that, King Zarthur left. ET felt even more broken than before. He definitely couldn't tell Elliott how he's doing now. So he decided to post-pone that until things get better for him. If it ever does that is.

A week later back on Earth, Elliott returned to the alien transmitter to see if ET had got the message and responded to him. When he saw there was nothing there he was upset but he thought ET probably didn't get it yet. When he went back inside he sat down in the living room with Michael and Gertie.

"So did he respond to your message?"

Michael said. Elliott responded with-

"No, but maybe he just didn't get it yet. I hope he gets it soon."

"Me too!"

Gertie replied. Elliott knew he wasn't alone with missing ET. All of his siblings were there along with him. But he still felt alone in a way. While they did miss ET they didn't know that Elliott missed him more than all of them combined. He couldn't even remember how many tears he shed late at night whenever he thought about ET. He really did hope ET would respond to him soon. But it wasn't going to happen for a while.

3 months pass by and things seemed to have gotten from bad to worse for both ET and Elliott. ET has become even more of a disappointment and waste of space to his planet. Everyone treats him badly, he never sees Zip, Zilch, and Zorg anymore, and he's too afraid to tell Elliott about what's been going on. And as for Elliott, his depression has gotten even worse. He's been doing bad in school, has become more insecure, and barely says anything to anyone. He's been starting to think that ET's forgot all about him and Earth. And the thought of that being for real crushes his heart. Anyway, one night ET was looking out the window in his bed room, the same thing with Elliott back on Earth. They've both had another terrible day. ET's parent is the only one who's there for him anymore. And Elliott only ever leaves his room to go to school, the bathroom, and to have dinner. They both then noticed a music box in their rooms. They both had the exact one surprisingly enough.

"Maybe my music box will cheer me up now."

They both said at the same time.

So they turned the handles and music began to play. Both ET and Elliott began to sing along with the music.

[ET] Never thought that I, couldn't rise high, without you. Nothing I have is good but not, without you. And nothing at all feels quite right, the sunshine only feels like night, I wish I could say that I'm alright, without you. Now what is the moon, without the sun, or the sesame seeds, without the bun, that's the way I feel when I haven't won, without you... I-I-I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I-I-I-E-I, I-I-I-I-I-I, really miss you.

[Elliott] I don't really care how high I climb, without you. Oh, all I see is a lonely view, when I'm, without you. No one made me laugh like you, no one like you turned my 1 to 2, I guess that's why I feel so blue, without you. Now tell me what's the finger without the toe, tell me what's Winter without the snow, that's the way I feel when I'm on the go, without you... I-I-I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I-I-I-E-I, I-I-I-I-I-I, really miss you.

[Both] I-I-I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I-I-I-E-I, I-I-I-I-I-I, really miss you.

After that they both decided to call it a night. Meanwhile deep in space the spaceship from before was looking into a device that could let it see both planets. As we see inside of the ship we see the shadow of a tough looking alien looking into said device. This alien was already known by The Greet Planet but not Earth. As the alien looked away from his device he said-

"I may not be able to take over planet Green, but Earth looks like the next best thing."

As he said that he started evil laughing as everything starts to fade to black. The next day on The Green Planet ET was taking a walk. He then saw Zip, Zilch, and Zorg nearby and knew he had to talk to them after about four months.

"Hey guys, I haven't seen you in forever. So, what's been going on with you guys?"

ET said to them.

"I'm sorry, who are you?"

"Hahaha, very funny Zilch! But really, what's up with you guys?"

ET said thinking they were just joking. Little did he know the upcoming news from them that would almost crush his soul.

"(sigh) Alright guys, it's time we tell him what's been going on. We can't keep up this charade anymore."

Zorg said and then ET asked-

"What are you guys talking about?"

And then, Zip said it.

"Zrek, we can't be friends anymore. It's not that we don't want to be your friend it's just how this planet sees you now. Let's just face the facts, you're nothing to this place now. And all three of us know that if we hang out with you we'll all be ostracized with you. We know it sounds selfish but you need to understand we have family and friends too and we can't lose them. We're sorry Zrek, but this friendship is over."

And with that, all three of them walk away. ET then ran home crying his eyes out. As he made it home he landed on his bed crying into his pillow. He's grown to hate his planet, he's hated what his life has become, he's hated being without Elliott, Michael, Gertie. He isn't happy on his own home anymore.

"I can't take this anymore, I hate this place! I miss Elliott, I miss Michael, I miss Gertie, I miss Earth."

ET said. Zandrew walked in and knew ET meant everything he said. He's known how much ET's life has fallen apart. So Zandrew knew the time was right to tell ET what he's been up to.

"Zrek, I have to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"No one knows this, not even King Zarthur, but I have my own mini spaceship underneath this house."

"Wait what?!"

"Yes, it's been handed down from generation to generation in my family. It's a mile faster than the other spaceships on this planet. So if I get right stuff you need and make sure the spaceship would be in a place where no one can see it, you might be able to get to Earth."

ET's jaw dropped at what Zandrew just said. He couldn't believe what he just heard.

"WHAT?!"

ET screamed in excitement. Zandrew had to calm ET down with that news. He then showed ET a secret door that led to the spaceship. It looked like the other spaceships on the planet except it was smaller, shaped more like an oval, and was missing it's top antaean.

"Are you sure this will work?"

"I haven't used it in many years but I'm sure it will."

So for the next few hours, ET and Zandrew got everything ready. They got the medicine ET needed, the belongings ET wanted to take with him, and a special telephone so they can talk to each other. The next thing they did was hide their spaceship so nobody would see them take it to a lonely field about thirty miles away from the main town. Once they found a good spot for the ship to take off ET started filling up the ship. Once he was done he walked out to say goodbye to Zandrew. Both of them had tears in their eyes. Zandrew had a book in his hands which he was going to give to ET.

"Well my parent, I guess this is goodbye."

"Don't say goodbye, just say so long for now. This is a book to help our kind to speak just good enough for humans on Earth understand us."

"Thank you for everything captain, I'll be sure to tell Elliot and his family all about how you were always there for me no matter how this planet treated me. I don't really know if I'd want to come back here but if you can ever visit Earth I'd love if you'd see me there."

"I definitely will! Good luck with Earth Zrek."

"You can still call me that, but I'm going by ET now."

"Well in that case, so long for now ET."

"So long for now parent!"

They then had one last hug as ET walked into the spaceship and took off. ET could see Zandrew waving at him. As ET flew into space he said-

"Hang on Elliott, I'm coming back!"

As ET flew off to Earth he didn't notice the shadowy spaceship from before was following him.
