It was another warm day in my neighborhood. My parents were at work and my brother was at the park doing his workout. The kids were riding bikes, playing ball, and shouting without a care in the world. Unfortunately, I was trying to study for my upcoming test in one of my classes but, even with the windows shut, the noises kept on distracting me. It was really hard to concentrate with all the noise going around.


Me: *thinking* "Noisy kids! I wish I could tell them to keep it down, but I don't want to spoil their fun."

As I was trying to find a way to distract me from the kid's noises, my dogs barked loudly.

Me: *frustrated* "What now?! *groans and walks out of my room*


Once I got outside, I called for the dogs to get back in the house.

Me: "Come on babies, time to get in!"

Usually, the dogs run up to the door when they're called in. But this time, they didn't and continued to bark at the front gate.

Me: *thinking* "Hmm, must be some kids. I better take a look to be sure."

But when I got to the gate, I didn't see any kids on the block. Instead, I saw sudden movements from one of the trashcans.

Me: *sighs* "Not again. Stay here puppies, I'll handle this." *opens the gate door and closes it*


It wasn't that long ago since I first met Veena, a friend of the Rubber girls who also happens to be an alien. The first I saw here was from a trashcan, so I assumed she was in it going through the garbage again. I casually walked up to the can.

Me: *to the can* "Veena, what's going on?"

However, the can continued to shake and made snarling noises. What really got me was that the noises sounded more like a rabid beast.

Me: *walks to the can* "Veena, are you alright?" *opens the lid and falls back in surprise* 

It wasn't Veena in the trashcan, it was something else!

Me: *scared* "What in the world?!"


The dogs were barking frantically behind the closed gate, they really wanted to come to my aid.

Me: *still shaken* "C-C-C-Calm down, babies. I-I-I-I got this."

I got up and took another look at what was inside the can. There, eating the garbage, was a weird looking animal. It was bluish green with purple feet and a pointed head. It also had one eye like a Cyclops and it had a snout like an Aardvark or an Anteater.

Me: *to the creature* "Well, hello there. You don't seem to be from around these parts."

The creature stopped eating, looked at me, and squirted a black like substance on my face!

Me: *after being squirted* "AHHHHH, I'm blind! *clears the stuff off my face* Oh, never mind."

The animal then leaped out of the can and landed on my head.

Me: *notices the animal on my head* "Huh? *grabs the animal off of my head and puts it back on the ground* You really are something."


The creature then fell asleep on the driveway. I picked it up and headed back into my room to have a closer look at it. 

Me: *picks up the sleeping creature* "You are going into my room so I can figure out where you're from."

The dogs were curious to see what I had, but I told them to not disturb the sleeping animal.

Me: "Come on pups, time to go inside."

The dogs followed me into the house and I went into my room. I put the creature on my bed and I inspected it for any identification for the owner. To my surprise, there wasn't a collar or microchip on the animal and I feared that I will never find the owner.

Me: "What am I going to do with you? If I have no way of finding out your owner, I'll have no choice but to call the pound. I wish it didn't come to this, but I guess I have no choice." *turns on my cellphone*

As I was about to call the local shelter, I heard someone yelling out, "Mitsey, where are you boy?!" The voice sounded familiar, but I looked out the window to be sure. My suspicions were correct, because there, hovering around the neighborhood, was Veena!

Me: *opens the window* "Veena!"

Veena: *muffled* "Robert?"

She was inflated into a big balloon, more than twice the size she was when I first saw her inflated, limbs sunken in, and using her pigtails as propellers to help her through the air.

Me: "What brings you here?"

Veena: *muffled and sad* "Well, my pet squipleytrunks is gone and I'm trying to find him!"

Me: "Squipleytrunks? Are they bluish green with purple feet, purple head, have one eye, and possess a trunk like snout?"

Veena: *muffled and puzzled* "Yes, but how would you know about that?"

Me: "Because it's in my room as we speak."

Veena: *muffled* "Koa?! *deflates wildly, flies into my room, knocks me against my closet door, and sees her the animal* Blioxneeme! Mimbly!"


Upon hearing it's name being called, the creature woke up and sprayed it's black ink at her face.

Me: *gets up* "Seems like he doesn't like to be disturbed."

Veena: "Why do you say that?"

Me: "Because he did the same thing to me."

Veena: *shakes off the ink* "No, he just does that to show how much he likes you."

Me: "Really?"

Veena: "Yeah."

Me: "I see. BTW, how did you inflate yourself into a massive size?"

Veena: "Oh, that. I asked the rubber girls to give me a piece of Puff-A-Loon candy to help me find my pet. By using that and my own powers, I was able to get a bird's eye view of the neighborhood in hopes of finding my pet."

Me: "Cool."

Veena: "Say, do you want to see what Mimbly's trick?"

Me: "Sure, but lets go outside in the back."

Veena: "Okay." *picks up Mimbly and heads to the backyard with me following her*


 Once we were in the backyard, Veena was ready to show me what Mimbly can do.

Veena: "Mimbly, etalfni em!"

Me: *confused* "What?"

Mimbly responded by extending his snout and pressed it against Veena's mouth.

Veena: *gives a thumbs up* "Go!"

Suddenly, Mimbly took a deep breath and blew air into Veena. This caused Veena to inflate like a balloon. It was as if Mimbly became a vacuum cleaner that was set to "blow." 

Me: "Woah!"

After a few breaths, Mimbly was finished and his owner was a huge balloon!

Me: "Amazing!"

Veena: *giggles* "Thank you. *deflates* It's another thing that they are known for."

Me: "I see. Can I speak with you for a minute?"

Veena: "Sure thing."


We both sat down on the outdoor furniture and had a little discussion.

Me: "Why haven't you given him a collar?"

Veena: "Oh, I barely forgot that. I just didn't think of it."

Me: "If I were you, I'd give him a collar. So that if he gets lost again, someone will be able to notify you when he or she finds him."

Veena: "Good point."

Me: "Yeah. If it hadn't been for you floating here, there's no telling where he would've ended up if I called the shelter!"

Veena: *scared* "Yikes! I don't want that to happen!"

Me: "Well don't you worry, I might have something for your Mimbly. Just wait right here for a moment." *runs back into the house*


Once I got in the house, I looked in one of the drawers and found an old collar Beemer used to wear. I grabbed it and ran back out.

Me: *runs to Veena* "Here it is. Just grab Mimbly and we'll get to work."

Veena: "Right."

Carefully, Veena grabbed Mimbly using her elastic arms and brought him to me.

Me: *putting the collar on* "Hold still, buddy. This won't hurt a bit. *makes the collar comfortable on him* There you go."

Mimbly shook his tail and sprayed me with ink. Veena giggled and wiped the ink off me.

Veena: "He seems to like it."

Me: "Yeah, he does. Just get a tag on the collar and you're all set."

Veena: "I will. Thank you so much for finding him."  

Me: "My pleasure. Even though it was by chance that he went into one of my cans."

Veena: "It doesn't matter, you've earned this. *kisses me on the cheek, which makes me blush a little* I got to go, bye Robert."

Me: "Bye, Veena. Bye, Mimbly. Be sure to let me know you get his tag."

Veena: *picks up Mimbly* "I certainly will." *stretches her arms to swing on the branches of the trees*


Tim finally got back from his walk to find me in the backyard.

Me: "Hey, bro. How was your walk?"

Tim: "Good. What are you doing out here?"

Me: "I was just getting some fresh air."

Tim: "Good to hear. Well, I better take my shower now."

Me: "Okay, I'll be in soon."

Tim: "Alright." *goes inside*

Me: *sighs* "What other surprises lie ahead of me?"



The End

Happy Halloween! Well, not quite yet. Here's a tale that has another visitor from Space!

Thanks. Um, to not be confused, the pet's name is Mimbly and "Mitsey!" is Hello in Viritian.
