We just stood there, we couldn’t believe what we were looking at. There was a crashed space ship, in the woods, behind our house, and there was alien laying there in the rumble of the cockpit.
“What should we do?” My sister asked me.
“We need to help him, we need to get him out.” I told her.
“What if it’s a girl?” She asked.
“If that’s really what you’re worried about right now, you need to go home.” I said to her.
“You’re right.” She said.
I started to climb down into the hole where the ship crashed, so I could help get him out. I was so nervous I was shaking. I couldn’t believe that this was really happening, I couldn’t believe I was about to help an alien.
“Do you think he’s friendly?” My sister asked.
“We’re about to find out.” I told her.
I reached down and tried to pick him up, but he was a lot heavier than someone would think. I managed to get him stood up and I put my arm around him. Just then, he looked at me.
“Help.” He said out of breath.
“Dude, he just talked!” I yelled.
“Yeah, yell a little louder, I’m sure other people would LOVE to see what we’re doing out here in the middle of the night.” my sis” My sister said.
“Oh, shut up and help me, I’m going to try to lift him up to you.” I told her.
My sister grabbed him and lifted him up.
“Wow, he’s heavier than you would think.” She said.
I got out of the hole and helped my sister.
“We need to get him back to our house.” I told her.
“Agreed.” She nodded.
We carried our new alien friend away from his spaceship. My mind was racing with so many thoughts, was he supposed to be here? Where did he come from? Is he friendly? Is he even a he, or is he a she? I couldn’t figure anything out, all I knew was that we needed to get him back to our house before the smoke and light catches anyone else’s attention.
It seemed like it took forever to get back home, we snuck back into the house, and hurried as fast as we could to the basement. My sister threw an old mattress onto the floor and we laid him down. Just then he opened his eyes. His eyes were huge and looked like they were full of stars.
“Thank you.” he said.
“Welcome to Earth.” I smiled at him.
