In We'Z'Knaw's Spaceship, he was pacing back and forth, angrily thinking about how his last plan failed.

[We'Z'Knaw] "Why, why, why did I leave that room? If I stayed, my plan would've worked. How is defeating 3 human children and 1 Plantineer so hard?"

He sat down and put his hand on his forehead, trying to think of his next plan. It was clear that he had to go bigger if he wanted to defeat the main 4. Winion 3 walked into the room, having thought of a new plan as well, he however, was able to come up with one.

[Winion 3] "Master, I just got an idea."

[We'Z'Knaw] "Very well, I'll gladly hear it."

[Winion 3] "You know how every living creature has one or two parents."

[We'Z'Knaw] "Yes."

[Winion 3] "Well, after doing some research, these four have one parent watching over them."

[We'Z'Knaw] "And your point is?.."

Winion 4 walked in at that moment.

[Winion 4] "His point is the parent is how we defeat the ET and the humans. If we can find a way to stop her from caring from them, they'll become weak over time."

[We'Z'Knaw] "Hmm, an interesting idea. But how is that going to stop them from stopping us? ET, if that's the name of the Plantineer, has his own spaceship."

[Winion 3] "True, but it isn't the same as the spaceships from his home planet. It's 5 times smaller. All 4 of them won't be able to fit inside of it."

[We'Z'Knaw] "Okay then, I'm convinced."

We'Z'Knaw and the two Winions walked towards the room where they keep their giant lazer. We'Z'Knaw stood and watched as Winion 3 and 4 tinkered with the machine so who ever it shot would turn them incredibly lazy. After fixing up the lazer, the screen in the front of it asked who it was going to hit. Winion 4 then raised up his hand, in it was a strain of blonde hair.

[Winion 4] "This is a hair from the little girl that fell off while her and the doll were fighting. As I put it in the machine, the DNA from it will track everyone who it tracks."

The screen showed Gertie's face, and Winion 4 swiped the screen showing Elliott's face, Michael's face, and Mary's face. He was about to swipe the screen again, which would show the face of Elliott, Gertie, & Michael's father, but Winion 3 stopped him, pointing at the image of Mary.

[Winion 3] "That's the one we're looking for."

There was a button next to the screen saying, shoot this person. Without hesitation, the two Winions and We'Z'Knaw, himself, pushed the button together. A blast of green energy immediately shot from the lazer's gun hole and flew towards Earth to the Taylor house. Mary was in the living room, having just sent her kids to bed. Relaxing, not noticing the green light flying towards her, and once she did, it hit her. The next morning, Elliott and ET woke up at the sound of Elliott's alarm clock. The former stretching and yawning, turning the alarm off.

[Elliott] "You know, I wonder why I always set an alarm on a Saturday?"

ET just shrugged in response, and Elliott sighed. After getting ready for the day, the two boys walked downstairs to hear the television. Confusing Elliott.

[Elliott] "Did one of us turn on the TV late last night and forget to turn it off? Oh, when Mom finds out, she's gonna kill us."

ET had a look of fear in his eyes, Elliott noticed this.

[Elliott] "She won't actually kill us, I mean that we'll be in huge trouble."

They both walked towards the TV, beginning to hear the sound of crunching, crunching of chips, to be specific. Elliott turned towards the couch, and saw non other, than Mary. She looked like a mess. The blanket she was in was barely covering her, her eyes looked red, like she had been awake for hours, and various chips, sweets, and soft drinks were scattered all over the place. Elliott, having never seen his mother like this before, looked a little horrified.

[Mary] "Whoa, what's up with the face?"

Her mouth was partly filled with chips and she sounded like she honestly couldn't care less.

[Elliott] "Mom, what happened to you? The last time you were eating food like this was when you were pregnant with Gertie."

[Mary] "Well I don't have a baby inside of me, I feel like I ate one, though."

[Elliott] "Well, then why are you acting like this?"

[Mary] "How should I know? One minute I was relaxing, the next, I was, and still am, relaxing even more."

[ET] "What are we going to do for breakfast?"

[Mary] "I don't know, you take care of it."

[ET] "I don't know how to cook. At least how you guys do it."

[Elliott] "C'mon ET, Mom's clearly too tired, I can try to make us something."

So the two went into the kitchen to get some breakfast. Later, Michael walked into the room, looking back into the living room.

[Michael] "What's up with Mom?"

[Elliott] "I don't know, she was like that when we came down here."

Later in the day, around lunch time, the same thing happened, accept it looked like Mary had more food. And once again, the kids had to take care of it themselves. But then at dinner time, Elliott, Gertie, Michael, and ET decided they were done.

[Elliott] "Okay Mom, you've been sitting here watching TV all day, but you need to get up, we're worried about you, and besides, we can't really make our own dinner."

[Mary] "UGH, fine."

She got up and started making what she called dinner. Literally five minutes later, everyone was sitting at the table, and what all they had were cheep TV dinners. She tells the four to dig in and goes back to her business. Michael looks at his younger siblings, with disappointed looks on their faces.

[Michael] "Okay, I know this isn't much, but It's clear Mom's on edge. About what, I don't know? What I do know, however, is I don't want to upset her when she's like this."

[Elliott, Gerite, & ET] "Me too."

Little did they know this was just the beginning of this odd situation. For the next three weeks things didn't change, in fact, Mary forgot to pay the power bill so the lights haven't been turning on. It went to the point where most of the food that everyone (not counting Mary and ET) ate was at school. On Thursday, it was recess at Elliott's school, and he was sitting against the brick wall at the blacktop. He saw his friend, Vincent walking towards him.

[Vincent] "Elliott, are you okay, man? You look awful."

[Elliott] "I feel awful, my mom's been acting, well, lazy, lately. Honestly, me and my siblings haven't been able to take a bath or shower because my mom hasn't done any laundry."

[Vincent] "Yeah, I wasn't going to say anything, but you have a lot of BO."

[Elliott] "I know. Sigh, you know, it's like my mom was turned lazy against her own will or something."

[Vincent] "I guess you could say she was hit with, I don't know, a lazy lazer, maybe."

Elliott thought about what Vincent had just said for a minute or so, and eventually, he put two and two together and figured out that We'Z'Knaw must've had something to do with this.

[Elliott] "I have a feeling that was a pretty close guess."

Later into the day, Elliott told Gertie, Michael, and ET about his discovery, and knowing how their new enemy is, they believed it was in fact what happened.

[Michael] "Well, we have to find a way to bring Mom back to her senses."

[Gertie] "But how, We-s Aww's spaceship is in space. ET's spaceship is too small for all of us."

[Elliott] "So I guess we're stuck."

[ET] "I don't know, maybe we're not, let me check it and see."

ET went out to his spaceship to check if he can figure something out. Mary called her kids for something, and they went into the living room where she was.

[Gertie] "What is it?"

[Mary] "Can you guys get me some more snacks?"

[Michael] "Mom, I think you've eaten them all."

[Mary] "Did you check?"

[Elliott] "No, but we figured that-."

[Mary] "Well go check!"

Michael facepalmed himself, clearly fed up with how his mom's been acting, even if it was beyond her control.

[Michael] "Mom, stop it, this isn't you, you're not lazy."

Mary gave a look like she was trying to make an angry face, but she was too tired to do so.

[Mary] "What did you just say to me?"

Knowing this will most likely get ugly, Elliott and Gertie backed away from the scene.

[Michael] "You clearly know what I said, come on Mom, I know you're in there somewhere. I know you really aren't this pathetic."

Now Mary was really mad, she got up, staring at her oldest child, with a look that said "I'm going to beat the crap out of you."

[Elliott] "Oh no."

[Mary] "I don't know where this disrespectful attitude came from, young man, but I'm going to wash it out of you!"

She then grabbed on to Michael's ear, and he tried to wiggle free.

[Michael] "MOM, STOP IT! LET GO- WHOA..."

He managed to get free from Mary's grasp, but he fell down and his back hit the TV screen, so hard that he actually broke it. Thankfully, no shards of glass had penetrated his skin, but he was in a lot of pain. Michael looked at what he did, and fearfully looked back at Mary. At first she looked shocked, but then her angered face from before came back.

[Mary] "GREAT, JUST GREAT MICHAEL! Now how am I going to watch my shows, huh, HOW?!"

Before the scene could go any further, ET came back into the room, signaling Michael and the others to come outside.

[Michael] "It looks like you're gonna have to find out on your own."

He then ran outside with Elliott and Gertie following him, wanting to get out of there as soon as possible.

[Mary] "You'll have to come back sometime, Michael, and when you do, you're in a lot of trouble."

She shouted, but only to lose interest, and laid back down on the couch. Michael, Elliott, and Gertie ran outside to see that somehow, ET's spaceship was some how wider than it was before. This was followed with Elliott asking him how he did that.

[ET] "Well I was looking at the buttons on the bottom panel, and one of them said "extant ship". So I pressed it, and this happened. But I think questioning how I did this right now isn't what we should be doing. We need to get into space and get We'Z'Knaw to bring your mom back to normal.

[Gertie] "He's right, now's not the time for questions."

All four of them went inside and as ET set the coordinates, the ship began to rise. Elliott, Michael, and Gertie held on to their seats as the sight from the ship's giant window went from bright blue to a deep dark blue with brights dots everywhere. Elliott looked behind himself, and saw the planet he called home begin to slowly shrink from sight, amazed by what he was looking at. However, he turned around when ET told him that he wouldn't be able to look at the view for long. And he was right, it wasn't long before they made it to their destination.

[ET] "Alright everyone, this is our first ordeal with We'Z'Knaw outside of Earth, we need to be careful. One wrong move, and we might end up being sucked into the empty void. No pressure, though."

The three of them gulbbed, but nodded. Inside the much bigger ship, We'Z'Knaw was once again in the main room, satisfied that his plan has been working. That moment ended, however, when Winion 1 entered the room.

[Winion 1] "Sir, I have some bad news, ET and the children are their way."

[We'Z'Knaw] "What?! How is that possible? they can't all fit in that tiny spacecraft."

[Winion 1] "Well, about that..."

He then showed We'Z'Knaw a tablet like screen showing the outside of the ship and zoomed in on the approaching ship.

[We'Z'Knaw] "Oh come on, are they always one step ahead of me? Okay, new plan, you and the others go into the room with the lazer and lock the door, I'll take care of those brats."

A moment or so later outside the ship's back door the perfect size for the now bigger ship, opened. The main 4 knew this meant the evil alien had to be prepared somehow. So with a sigh, ET flew into the opening. Just as they expected, We'Z'Knaw was there, quietly sitting on a chair.

[We'Z'Knaw] "I'd say it's great to see you, but you're all the vane of my existence, and this time, you're not getting away."

With a push of a button on a remote he had hidden, the spaceship disappeared.

[We'Z'Knaw] "I teleported your little spacecraft to a room in my ship that you'll never get to. I could destroy all 4 of you right now, but instead, I'll make a deal. Agree to fore fit, And I'll send you all back to Earth, you can try to find whatever food that your mother hasn't gottan to yet, and find a new parent. And when I take over the world, I'll spare you."

[ET] "Over my dead body."

[Elliott, Gertie, & Michael] "Same for us."

[We'Z'Knaw] "Fine, have it your way."

Without hesation, We'Z'Knaw pulled out a lazer gun from his other hand, shooting at the main 4. They were able to dodge the lazers, but the alien with the fire arm did get very close each time. In fact, he was actually able to hit Elliott's jacket hood. It was then when ET ran towards We'Z'Knaw, screaming. We'Z'Knaw tried to hit him, but the smaller alien was able to doge the beam of light, and in a split second, he grabbed We'Z'Knaw's remote and pushed a blue button, the spaceship he and the other three entered in reappeared and him and Elliott, Michael, and Gertie ran into it, still dodging the lazers from We'Z'Knaw's gun. Once they made it in, ET once again pressed the blue button, and they teleported into the room with the lazer that turned their mom lazy. They hopped out of the ship, this time, with their led pipes from their first incounter with We'Z'Knaw in their hands. To their surprise, the 5 winions still ran at the main 4, not stopping. ET, Michael, Elliott, and Gertie ran at them too, however, they had the edvantige. They hit the 5 winions with their pipes, not showing any mercy. Michael told ET, Gertie, and Elliott to lazer their mom back to normal, and he'd take care of the little monsters. They nodded and ran to the screen, ET pressed it and he didn't stop swaping images until he made it to Mary. But now, he was stumped.

[ET] "I don't get it, what should I do?"

Gertie hid behind him, afraid of something. ET turned around to find Winion 3 crawling towards them. He looked like he had blood from his mouth. The only thing was, his blood was yellow.

[Winion 3] "Nothing, you won't be able bring back your mother's old self. It's voice activated, and it will only be set to reverse the first effects, if I say, REVERSE-O!"

Just as he said that, the screen said "whoever gets shot with this lazer will reverse any past effects". The pathetic alien cursed himself for giving that away and ET slammed the button. And the green beam of energy was shot to Earth. Michael noticing this, stopped his clobbering.

[Michael] "Well, we'd love to say, but it's time we get out of here."

Before they could leave, ET and Elliott broke the lazer screen with their pipes. And with that, ET, Elliott, Gertie, and Michael grabbed on to their pipes and ran back into ET's spaceship and teleported back into the room where We'Z'Knaw was at, and flew back to Earth. We'Z'Knaw just shook his head in shame and anger, knowing his plan failed.

[We'Z'Knaw] "If I don't defeat them in my next plan, I will destroy the first thing I find."

Back on Earth, ET and the kids went inside of the house and saw that Mary was in the living room, cleaning up the mess she made, proving that she was back to normal.

[Gertie] "Mommy, you're back."

Gertie shouted as she ran up and hugged Mary, and she hugged back.

[Mary] "I sure am. I can't believe I actually made this mess. Boys, thanks for getting the old me back."

[Michael] "Don't mention it Mom, we're just glad you're back."

[Mary] "Me too. But you're still paying for a new TV."

She said as she returned to her cleaning. Michael groaned, and Elliott and ET shrugged at each other.
