Aliens in the Attic

Chapter Seven

When they were finishing the stairs, Tom exclaimed "Man, we can't fight these things with our parents around", Jake responded automatically "We can't just get rid of 'em", Tom thought for a second and he had an idea "Maybe we can," he paused and took Sofia by the arm slightly to bring her with them,as she was dragged to their direction she said "Yeah, tell us the brilliant idea that's circling your mind"with a roll of her eyes, Tom rolled his eyes, sighed but said "Here's what I want you to do".

The idea was to use one of Hannah's doll remote car and put on it a camera to see what the aliens were doing while he, Sofia and Art called Ricky on his zombie state.

The three of them were now hidden behind the bushes at the lake, Art began to control Ricky but he touched the wrong button and that made Ricky throw Bethanyin the lake "Is that a "no"? , Ricky!" she yelled with frustration because one he threw her, he began to swim to the shore and he wasn't responding her "Ricky!". "Careful. Don't break him" said Tom when he saw that Art was using too much Ricky's arms, "Ricky!", Sofia looked at Ricky "Better grab his shirt",
"Ricky!", Bethany was still calling him but then she gave up.

-------------------------------------------------------

They got into the house and now they were hiding on the corridor , "Bad news," Tom was controlling what Ricky, who was on the kitchen, was saying, "The leasing office called.They need you to go back there before they close for the holidays", Ms. P was the first one to speak "Really?", Ricky talked again "Problem with the contract. They insisted" he finished moving his hands up and down, Mr. P noticed that Ricky was behaving weird "Ricky, are you okay?", Tom seemed to panic a little but quickly responded "Just allergies, Mr. P." and that made RIcky repeat what he said "Just allergies, Mr. P. But they did say it's urgent", "Urgent?" said Mr. P, "Okay, I'll call and I'll sort this out" Ms. P tried to comfort her husband.

Uncle Nate was now in the kitchen and on his way to the refrigerator "That's so weird", Ms. P went to the phone but it was disconnected "Oh, this is weird, Stu. I think the phone's dead", on the corridor, they were counting down to know exactly when the power was going to go; the lights on the house went suddenly off, "Did they just cut off our power?" said Mr. P not knowing the reason why that happened, Ms. P was done with the situation "They are gonna hear about it from me. Let's go, we are going down there right now" she walked to the door and took her wallet ready to leave with her husband in tail but Uncle Nate stopped them,"Hey, guys, we can use some more beer, some chips. Why don't you run to the grocery store?I'll fire up the grill", "And watch the kids?" questioned Ms. P, he shrugged "Okay, whatever".

"No" exclaimed Ricky, "I mean, you all have to go. They said all your names are on the leas,"he explained "I'll look after the kids" now he offered; Mr. P was not quite fond of that "I don't know if that's a good idea", Uncle Nate was fine with it " Well, I-- I guess I could drive", the couple sighed and Ms. P said "Okay,okay", Mr. P yelled "George, Christine; please come down", "Okay, Stuwie"; Sofia took the mic and used it to say through Ricky "And, Mr. P... while you're out,can you get me some adult diapers? Mine are almost full", Tom and Art were trying not to laugh, "Mine are almost full" then he made a gesture indicating that they smelled bad. The adults made a weird face, "That is a bad allergy" said Uncle Nate; Ricky yelled "Super absorbent" and then the adults went outside to meet George and Christine.

Once they left, the kids who were hiding let out the laugh they were holding; soon Art's laugh died "Look. Alien death mist,don't breathe", Sofia and Tom looked up and saw that in fact some mist was coming from the vent, "Shit,shit,shit" began cursing Sofia covering her nose, Tom exclaimed pointing Ricky "Put him on "pause".

Meanwhile, Jake was throwing little bombs on the vents "Happy 4th of July, space maggots", as soon as he announced that, the others appeared "Jake, there's smoke in the vents" exclaimed Sofia still covering her nose, "It's me. We have unfriendlies on the move. I tracked them down and held 'em off", "Nice Jackey" said Sofia high-fiving him, now he asked "Parents?", his cousin answered "Gone", Jake smiled "Nice, now we can take it up a notch" and while he was saying that, he threw another little bomb making all jump a little. Tom noticed the frightened face of Hannah "This could get ugly. Hannah, go hide",Hannah quickly ran to her room and Art followed after her "Yeah. Seek safety!" , Tom rolled his eyes and pulled him back "Not you", he looked apologetically at Sofia trying to tell her something, she scoffed and crossed her arms over her chest already knowing what he wanted "No, i'm not going to miss this-," she stopped herself when Tom gave her the ultimate begging face "ya'll are so unbelievable, hate you all. Fine. "

"Hey Hannah, I'm here to make you company and take care of you, i guess", Sofia announced as she was entering Hannah's room, "SHhh" she heard, "Get under the bed for protection" whispered Hannah but loud enough for Hannah to hear her, so she got under the bed and noticed that she Hannah was holding her sock monkey too hard,"Hey Hannah, if you are scared, you can hold my hand", Hannah immediately took the offered hand, "Woah, you've got a nice grip there; now let's just wait."
