On a nice spring afternoon, a minivan drives in the country side of California. Inside the car is ET, Elliott, Michael, his friends Steve, Greg, Tyler, and Mary. ET was in his now completed disguise, the skin molding's were made into the perfect shape of ears and were kept up with a thin black string and he was also wearing big orange glasses. The story they made up to go with his disguise was that he was a very deformed child and out of sadness for his situation, Mary decided to adopt him. Mary was in the front driving, ET, Elliott, and Michael were in the middle, and Steve, Greg, and Tyler were in the back.

[Greg] "So we're going to stay at your Aunt's place for the weekend?"

[Michael] "Yeah, Gertie's having her first sleepover so Mom decided that we might as well do something ourselves."

[Greg] "But why did you feel the need to drag us along?"

[Michael] "Because we haven't hung out in a while."

[ET] "You tell him Mike."

When Michael's friends saw ET in his disguise they knew who it was but Elliott told them what was going on and they all agreed to keep the secret. The six of them were going to stay at Mary's Sister, Erin's farm. Michael and Elliott always stayed with them at least twice a year, sometimes Michael had his friends visit there too, but this was the first time since ET came into their lives. After a minute or so the car had pulled up to Erin's farm. Once the car was turned off Elliott and Michael ran to Erin and they group hugged.

[Elliott & Michael] "Aunt Erin!"

[Erin] "Here are my two favorite nephews."

[Michael] "Aunt Erin, We're your only nephews."

Steve, Greg, Tyler, ET, and Mary walked out of the car and walked to the three. Erin walked over to Mary and she thanked Erin for watching the kids for the weekend.

[Erin] "Don't worry about it, sis, me and Dave always love having the kids over here."

Michael's friends walk over to Erin.

[Erin] "Hey kids. I remember when you three and Mikey were only 8. I hope you're doing well in school."

[Tyler] "Well our parents say we could do better with our grades."

Erin laughed at the joking response. Mary told the six boys that she'd pick them up in two days during the evening and drove off. She then looked at ET, who was shyly smiling.

[Erin] "Hi there kiddo, you must be the newest member of the Taylor family Mary told me about. It's very nice to meet you."

She said putting her hand out. This was the first time ET ever experienced a hand shake but he didn't know what he had to do. Elliott noticed this and ran to him, showing him what this human-action was.

[Elliott] "Sorry about that Aunt Erin, sometimes ET gets so nervous that he freezes. Okay ET, just grab her hand softly and move your arm up and down."

ET did so and once he let go of her hand Erin took the boys in for snack. During the next five hours the boys were doing what they always did at the farm. They had Dave's famous caramel apples, Elliott and Michael rode two of Erin's horses, ET was in the barn with the other animals, Steve, Greg, and Tyler read any book Erin and Dave had, and had a big (early) dinner. After the meal the six boys all sat in the living room a little board. Dave came into the room and noticed this.

[Dave] "Hey kids, there are usually other kids that play near the corn fields. Why don't you guys go see if you can join in whatever they're doing?"

[Michael] "I don't see why not."

So they decided to go out to the corn fields to see what those over kids were doing.

[Steve] "Haven't we heard kids from the corn fields before, and weren't they around the same age we are now?"

[Michael] "Why do you ask that?"

[Steve] "Well I remember the last time you, me, Tyler, and Greg were here together I heard the kids in those corn fields. I saw silhouettes of them and they looked to be the same height as most pre-teens we see today. We were all 8 back then but I could've sworn I heard them say some weird things."

[Michael] "Like what?"

[Steve] "I think it was along the lines of pleasing some source of power. But then again, my child mind could've just interrupted it like that."

The boys just agreed to that conclusion. After a minute or so, they made to the corn fields and saw what those before mentioned kids were doing. It looked like the kids were taking a scarecrow stand and putting it in the middle of what resembled a crop circle. And they also saw what appeared to be a large rope in the corner of the circle, next to it is a wagon with a number of candles inside of it. Before any of the boys could ask anything to the kids there they heard behind them three kids walk towards them. The boys turned around to see two boys and one girl. The boy in the left had on black jeans and a green dress shirt, the girl in the right had on a long black skirt and a pink dress shirt, and the other boy in the middle also had on black jeans and a blue dress shirt.

[boy in blue]"Well, well, well, it looks like we have some visitors."

[boy in green]"Yes, I think O-Leader-Corn will be very pleased with these six individuals."

[Elliott] "Who's O-Leader-Corn? And wants with that name?"

[girl in pink] "He is our leader, we don't know why he chose that name but he did."

[boy in blue] "Come on, let's take you to O-Leader-Corn."

They walked to a little barn house and the boys decided they might as well follow them. ET was behind the other five so he walked a little faster to Elliott.

[ET] "These kids make me feel kinda uncomfortable."

[Elliott] "Me too, but maybe this is just part of a weird game they play."

[ET] "I hope so."

[Steve] "Me too."

When all nine of them walked into the small barn who was apparently O-Leader-Corn was sitting in a worn out chair in the center of the wooden building. The six boys stood in front of the weird kids' leader as the two boys and girl walked over to O-Leader-Corn.

[boy in green] "O-Leader-Corn, we have brought you six visitors."

[O-Leader-Corn] "Perfect, it's double the amount of the visitors we use every year. This means we don't have to make another trade next year."

[Michael] "What do you mean by that?"

Michael wasn't feeling comfortable with the situation, his friends, Elliott, and ET feeling the same way. They would've left but the other kids outside were blocking the front doors. O-Leader-Corn stood up from his chair and began to tell his story.

[O-Leader-Corn] "Let me tell you. Until about ten years ago we've lived in fear of a powerful individual. This feared individual is named, The Man in Brown and a Six Point Star. It always stayed that way until our oldest siblings learned of a way to appease The Man in Brown and a Six Point Star."

(Flashback)

O-Leader-Corn's older brother was tying up three scared kids on the scarecrow stand with candles surrounding them in the middle of the crop circle. O-Leader-Corn was just five years old when this happened, looking through a window.

[O-Leader-Corn] "We learned that a sacrifice would do the trick. So for the last ten years, we pick three kids as an exchange to be left alone by The Man in Brown and a Six Point Star."

O-Leader-Corn's older brother runs back in the barn house when he notices the sound that meant this supposing Man in Brown and a Six Point Star was coming. The three tied up kids look in fear as two big yellow lights (most likely eyes) come closer in the night fog. Little O-Leader-Corn was shaking in fear until his older brother covered his eyes as he covered his own. All they hear is screaming from the three kids as they run into the other room until The Man in Brown and a Six Point Star left. Once the older brother heard silence outside it went outside to find that The Man in Brown and a Six Point Star and the three kids were gone. Knowing the bear took the bait (so to speak) he made a satisfied smile.

[O.L.C's brother]"Until next year..."

(End of Flashback)

[ET] "Wait a minute, isn't there another name for The Man in Brown?"

[O-Leader-Corn] "You mean, The Man in Brown and a Six Point Star."

[ET] "That's what I mean, that name's a bit of a mouth full. Don't you guys have an abbreviation or an acronym or something like that?"

[O-Leader-Corn] "The point is, you six are chosen for this year's sacrifice."

The three kids along with seven others then began to surround the six boys. Michael turned to the other five.

[Michael] "Alright guys, it looks like these people see us as some new meat of theirs. So I think the best thing to do in a time like this is, RUUUUUUNNNN!"

The six of them all ran into different places in the barn house.

[O-Leader-Corn] "Find them! We must not disappoint, The Man in, okay that weird kid was right, we need an abbreviation or something, anyway GO!"

Tyler and Greg were hiding inside a wooden crate, but when Greg heard footsteps he messed up.

[Greg] "Do you think those footsteps are them?"

[Tyler] "Quiet or they'll hear you!"

[Greg] "What was that?"

[Tyler] "I said QUIET OR THEY'LL HE-"

The crate was opened before Tyler could finish.

[Tyler] "Alright, I walked right into that one."

Michael and Steve were hiding behind a wooden poll but they were still easily seen.

[Steve] "This is perfect Mike, they'll never figure out where we are."

[boy in red] "You do know we can see and hear you right?"

[Steve] "Ah man, I must've moved."

[Michael] "Yes Steve, that's why they found us."

ET and Elliott were doing that "kids on top of each other under a tranch coat trick".

[Elliott] "Greetings child, I'm your dad so I order you to let these kids go."

[boy in green] "Well father, if I should call you that, why do you look and sound like a child yourself?"

[Elliott] "You didn't fall for that, did you? HIDE!"

Elliott shouted as they ran away again and hit behind a hay bearal.

[Elliott] "Man, these guys are nuts!"

[ET] "Uh, Elliott..."

[Elliott] "I mean, I'm questing if their parents even raised them right?"

[ET] "Elliott…."

He finally noticed ET's frighten look on his face.

[Elliott] "They're standing right behind me, aren't they?"

Elliott said, already knowing the answer. The main six kept on running away and hiding from the strange children for the next two hours. Eventually though, they were caught. Once the sun went down the "ritual" began. The candles were set up and lit and the six boys were tied up to the scarecrow stand.

[Michael] "Ah man, this is it, we're gonna die!"

[Greg] "Look at it this way, we're going out together."

[Tyler] "(sigh) At least now, I won't get rejected by girls anymore."

[Steve] "Well I guess the only thing we can do now is confess our deepest secrets. I myself have a confession; I'm not as strong as I say I am."

[Michael] "I have a confession; we already knew that."

[Greg] "I have a confession; sometimes when I go swimming in a lake, I pee in it."

[Tyler] "I have a confession; my great-grandfather didn't create Dungeons & Dragons, it's been an ongoing lie in my family.

[ET] "I have a confession; sometimes I lie awake at night and when I do I have horrible visions of blood, death, and fire, like a dark abysse is trying to devour my soul. Oh, and I'm fine with going out this way since I have great friends around me."

There was a few seconds of silence.

[Elliott] "Well I have a confession, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!"

O-Leader-Corn heard the familiar sound knowing who was approaching.

[O-Leader-Corn] "He's here, The Man in Brown and a Six Point Star!"

He says as he and his followers run into the barn house. The six sees the horrifying yellow lights coming towards them knowing who was coming. As the lights came closer they all began shaking in fear. And once what sounds like a roar was heard the boys all screamed like animals. But they stopped when the lighting relieved that those yellow lights were just headlights from a car. Coming out of the car was the city sheriff.

[the sheriff] "Jesus, you kids sound like you saw a demon or something."

Eillott and Michael knew who this was.

[Michael] "Sheriff William! Wait, are you "The Man in Brown and a Star Point Star"?"

[William] "(sigh) I'm guessing you kids met those trouble makers."

[Greg] "Okay, am I the only one who doesn't understand what's going on?"

[Elliott] "Greg, Sheriff William is friends with Aunt Erin, I thought you knew that."

William untied them as he explained what was going on.

[William] "When Erin called me about how you guys were missing I had a feeling those kids had something to do with it. Ten years ago Leader-Corn's father was loitering. Since no one else was there I decided to just leave him off with a warning but for some reason, he thought I was some angry god. I guess he told his kids this so they started doing this sacrifice nonsense. So that's been my own routine for these ten years. I untie the kids and take them back to their homes."

[Steve] so that's why they call you The Man in Brown and a Six Point Star, because your uniform is brown and the "six point star" is supposed to be your badge.

[ET] "But wait, why do they never get arrested for that?"

[William] Because the parents of the tied up kids don't press charges, to be honest though, I think these crazies should.

[Elliott] I guess there's only one thing to do!

*WIP

The newspaper was thrown to the table where ET and Elliott were eating his breakfast the next morning. It was Dave that threw it to them.

[Dave] "Well, those kids parents were arrested and the kids were put in child services. I don't think they'll be hurting anyone anymore."

[Elliott] "All of that happened in one night?"

ET took a look at the newspaper.

[ET] "That's what it looks like."

Erin walked into the room.

[Erin] "Hey boys, Michael and his friends are in the barn mooing at the cows trying to get them to response."

[Elliott] Well ET, let's go see if they have room for you and me."

So they finished their breakfast and joined Michael, Tyler, Greg, and Steve with their game with the cows.
