My name is Ricky. Everybody has always told me I was just a little kid. Until, my world got turned upside down. Independence day was an ordinary day of fun and fireworks. We thought.
July 4th in Greenville just got a lot better or worse it seemed. Everybody in the town came to watch the fireworks outside Town Hall. Just as everybody had sat down, a meteor crashed down in Town Square. Nobody worried because it was only the size of your fist. Everybody watched the fireworks and went home.
The next day, things just got eccentric. When I went to summer school, my teacher, Mrs. Wiggins, was Kitty Wiggins! She still wore her wiry glasses and held her pointer. But, it was kind of supernatural to learn math from a Siamese cat.
When I got home from summer school, my mom greeted me at the door. I was stunned! She was a mule! I was starting to wonder if I was dreaming. Then, my dad came to the door. He was a dog! I knew I wasn’t dreaming because I hugged them and I could feel it. This was reality.
I wondered for days what had caused this adult animal outbreak. I remember on 4th of July when that microscopic meteor hit. I remember smelling pungent fumes and mom and dad get drowsy. That must have been the animal outbreak cause!
A few days later, everybody in Greenville was awakened by a ear splitting alarm. We all rushed to Town Hall. A flying saucer looking thing landed in the middle of town. A green 18 eyed, slimy and green alien crept out. “Mortals, we have come to warn you.” The creature said evilly. “As of today, earth should have been demolished. Our plan failed. Now it is time for our revenge.” The alien proclaimed. “When you least expect it we will start war.” The alien left just as loud as he came. The city was shaken with fear at what had happened.
The next day, me and my friends Ben and Jill rushed to Professor Einstein’s laboratory. Just as I expected, Professor Einstein, our local scientist had been turned into an animal as well. He was a lab rat! We started talking to him and he had a great idea. “If the aliens tried to pulverized earth with their gases, what if we destroy their planet with our gases," said Professor Einstein. “That’s brilliant!” I exclaimed. Professor Einstein spent hours telling us the formula for the gas. We left after the formula was completed. We weren’t ready for the upcoming disaster.
The alarm sounded. Residents hid in their houses, under tables and some even built underground forts. Ben, Jill and I dashed to Professor Einstein’s. He had spent all night making a vat of the gas and he created motorized slingshots that will launch the canteens. The canteens will then hit the ships releasing the gases. The gas will seep through the alien ships intoxicating the aliens causing them to spontaneously combust. The ships flew low, aiming their lasers at the citizens. We fired the canteens in unison. Nothing happened. My ideas don’t usually come quick but this one did. I ran to Town Hall and turned on the speakers and the radio at the same time. I found the right channel. I blasted a Slim Whitman concert through the speakers. Suddenly, green goo splattered onto the sides of the ships. The alien’s heads exploded! I saved the world! Ben, Jill, Professor Einstein and I got rewarded by the Mayor of Greenville for our courage. I guess I’m not a little kid after all.
