"Class, settle down." Ms. Brass slapped her favorite ruler against her palm. "Anyone who doesn't sit—eyes forward, trap shut—will be locked in the closet and miss the Martian landing." She'd been teaching so long, I think she still remembered the good ol' days when she could use that ruler to smack kids on the knuckles for talking out of turn. "Ms. Brass, the aliens aren't from Mars." Sunny Rosa looked up from sorting her pencil collection. "They're from a planet orbiting Sirius, the Dog Star, which is actually a binary system. That means it has two suns. Except one of them—" "Shut up, Sunny." Ms. Brass slammed her ruler on Sunny's desk, sending pencils jumping for their lives. "It's not polite to correct your teacher." "Zack, the aliens are from the Dog Star!" Tommy Traddles yelled as if he wasn't sitting right in front of me. "They're Extra Terrierestrials." He was the only one who laughed. After locking Tommy in the closet, Ms. Brass led us to the auditorium. After locking Tommy in the closet, Ms. Brass led us to the auditorium. "I don't like this," whispered my best friend, Zoey Perrybingle. "What, why not? I mean, they've been transmitting peace messages for weeks," I said as we walked. "Plus, they just sent the cure for cancer and the common cold." "I still don't trust them. I mean, how can one cure work for both cancer and colds?" "I don't know." It did seem a little odd. Especially since the cure was to marinate overnight in a bath of onions and honey mustard sauce. I sat next to Zoey on the floor of the auditorium right as something flew overhead. Behind us, Susie Jo Sikes was shooting spit wads with the accuracy of heat-seeking missiles. "Eww, gross!" Zoey shrieked. "Give me your hat." "No way. This is my Giants World Series—" She ripped it from my head. "Where's your sense of chivalry?" "I think you've beaten it out of me." She glared at me, but broke into a smile when a glitter-coated paper airplane crashed in my hair. Amid the battle cries and flying shrapnel, the lights went down, and the projector lit up. On the screen, a huge flying saucer descended on the White House lawn. Everyone shut up real fast. The president, vice president, secretary of state, and a bunch of other self-important-looking people stood around nervously while the aliens floated out of their ship on beams of amber light. The aliens had big, bald heads and crazy, wide smiles. They were a pale shade of green and really fat, with slimy hands and tentacles instead of feet. shade of green and really fat, with slimy hands and tentacles instead of feet. Chapter 2 - Never Offer an Alien a Hand "I am Admiral Nact-bauk, commander of the Third Zaphod Fleet," said a big, particularly nasty-looking alien with a huge scar dripping down his forehead. "Did he just say his name was Admiral Nut-Bag?" I whispered to Zoey. "Shhh!" "On behalf of the People of Earth—" As the President spoke, dozens of photographers snapped pictures. "I would like to offer my hand in friendship." He thrust out his hand. He thrust out his hand. "Don't mind if I do." An extra slimy alien bent over and chomped down on the President's hand. "Mmmm." Before anyone could react, he leaned in, unhinged his jaw like a giant excavator scoop, and swallowed the President whole. "Delicious." The alien let out a massive burp.
