Shaun the Sheep: Close Encounters of Sheep Kind

Chapter 9

Shaun, Kali, and Lu-La came to Bitzer and helped him up. 

"Bitzer, you saved us!" Kali beamed to the farm dog. 

The gang came together and hugged. But suddenly, a loud crack was heard as the tower was starting to come apart which started leaning far to the side. It happened so fast the gang didn't have time to grab onto anything and slid right off the tower. 

Jacob, the twins and the flock gasped as they saw their friends falling towards their deaths. Kali, Shaun, Bitzer, and Lu-La all shut their eyes, preparing for the end...

But that never came. 

"Wait..." Kali slowly opened her eyes. "What happened?"

Shaun, Bitzer, and Lu-La opened their eyes noticing how everything seemed to stop for some strange reason before realizing they had been caught in a tractor beam. Their lives had been spared. They were gently set down as the flock, the twins, and Jacob ran over to them in relief. 

"You guys are okay!" Ann said, hugging her sister with Brock. 

"Thank goodness" Jacob sighed. 

But then Bitzer quickly remembered one sheep who still remained unaccounted for as he frowned. "But what about..." 

"Hailey!" Shaun exclaimed. 

Everyone turned around and gasped, seeing Hailey lying motionless on the stage. She appeared to be dead. Shaun rushed over to the female sheep's side while the rest of the gang gathered around them in silence. Shaun looked at Hailey with tears escaping his eyes. 

"Hailey?..." Shaun said quietly, but didn't get a response from her. 

"Hailey it's me, Shaun. Come on, wake up. Please..." Shaun gently shook her, but still no response. 

"Don't leave me..." Shaun whispered, holding Hailey close while a tear escaped from his eye and landed on her face. 

That's when everyone heard a slight moan and all immediately looked up, gasping as they saw Hailey slowly open her eyes revealing to be alive after all. 

Hailey looked up, her eye sight a little fuzzy as she thought she saw Shaun looking down on her. "Sha... Shaun?..." She said a bit weakly. 

"Hailey, you're back!" Shaun beamed as he couldn't believe it and hugged Hailey which surprised her a little. 

Everyone cheered and rejoiced that Hailey was alive. 

Shaun eventually released Hailey from his hug and looked at her, asking. "Hailey, about what you said back there about me... Did you really mean all of those things?"

Hailey looked up at Shaun as she was now blushing madly. "Of course I did" 

"I mean! You're beautiful, I'm handsome! Wah! No, what I meant was!... You're pretty, I love you too! No! Uh..." Hailey was stuttering again, having a horrible time trying to explain herself. 

But before she could say anything else, Shaun placed his hoof over Hailey's mouth getting her to shut up as she looked at him in surprise. 

"Hailey..." Shaun started. "Stop talking" 

Then to Hailey's surprise, Shaun pulled her in for a passionate kiss on the lips while everyone else awed watching them. 

"Well, it's about time" Jacob smirked at the sheep couple. 

Shaun then removed the wool covering Hailey's face to reveal her other eye. Everyone then looked up after hearing a loud noise and saw a large spaceship come into view. 

"Uh, are we sure I'm not dead? Or is this some really weird dream?" Hailey asked while standing beside Shaun. 

All the tourists awed at the sight as the spaceship landed right on the stage. The gang came together as they seemed to know who had finally come. The ship's door opened as two familiar figures walked out. Could it be?...

"Lu-La!" Ub-Do and Me-Ma beamed. 

"Ub-Do! Me-Ma!" Lu-La gasped, running to her parents and hugged them. 

The gang smiled, happy to see the alien family reunited at last. Ub-Do and Me-Ma asked their daughter where she had been and Lu-La explained everything about her little adventure to her parents, before introducing them to Shaun and his friends. 

"Uh, hey..." Shaun gave a little nervous laugh and wave to Lu-La's parents. 

"It's so nice to finally meet you" Hailey smiled at the two aliens. 

But suddenly, the moment was ruined when everyone gasped seeing Agent Red in her machine burst out of the rubble, having recovered from the fall. The Akids, Shaun and Hailey all protectively stood in front of Lu-La as Agent Red looked ready to attack them. But strangely... She stopped. 

The gang looked at each other confused to what was happening. Red soon came out of her machine and slowly walked up to Lu-La's parents. She seemed to recognize them for some odd reason. 

Now having been able to read Red's mind with her crystal power, Kali confronted her. 

"Look, you're not a bad person. You just want to prove to the world aliens exists. I get that" The adventure girl told the supposedly evil woman with sympathy. "But you don't have to do it this way"

Red thought deeply about what Kali had just said to her. She soon held up her picture she had drawn as a child, showing it to Ub-Do and Me-Ma and the two aliens smiled remembering as they waved at her. Red gasped in great astonishment, as it was revealed Ub-Do and Me-Ma had in fact been the aliens she saw as a child. 

Red then hugged the two aliens. The gang all blinked in surprise as they watched. 

"Well... This is weird" Ann commented. 

"So, we all good now?" Brock asked the others, uncertain. "We don't have to worry about her killing us anymore?"

After Agent Red had acceptedly welcomed the aliens, Ub-Do and Me-Ma soon told Lu-La it was time for them to go. Lu-La turned back to her friends, looking sad that she had to leave them. 

"Well, I guess this is it" Jacob said. 

Ann sniffled a little, telling Lu-La. "We sure are going to miss you, Lu-La" 

The gang came together with the little alien for one final group hug. And Timmy gave Lu-La her toy back. 

"Don't forget about us, okay?" Brock told Lu-La tearfully. 

"And we won't forget about you" Kali smiled at Lu-La. 

Ub-Do and Me-Ma smiled at the sight before their daughter joined them back on the ship. 

"Goodbye, Lu-La!" The gang waved to their alien friend. 

Lu-La and her parents waved back to the earthly beings before the ship's door closed and it started to take off. 

Tears streamed down Shaun's face as he hated to see Lu-La go. "You silly alien, you..."

Hailey noticed Shaun's sadness and leaned against him, comforting him which he smiled back at her liking that very much. 

The gang watched as the spaceship slowly raised up into the air before then zooming off faster than the speed of light, disappearing into the night sky. The human kids, sheep, and farm dog all smiled, bidding their alien friends farewell. 

"Hey, anyone else hungry?" Brock soon asked the others. 

"Pizza!" Nuts beamed. 

"Nah, I'm tired of that stuff" Ann said, having become a bit sick of the pizza taste lately. 

"How about a burrito?..." Bitzer suggested.
