WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY "FRIENDS"
Tess is in the pod chamber.
She is looking around, trying to memorize everything cause, as we all know, she
is not one of them and therefore has no real memory of the place. She pulls
Liz's jacket around her a little tighter, she stole it from her room earlier
today right after Liz told her how much she loved it. Tess wonders why being it
smells a little weird. She wanders into the granilith [ok, I have seen it
spelled about six ways and I am sure this is wrong so forgive me] room and looks
at it. As she turns away, she hears, very faintly, "Tess."
She whips around and stares
at the granilith. she hears it again, "Tess".
"Hello," she says
tentatively.
"Hello Tess. I have a
job for you," the granilith says.
She begins to jump up and
down. "I knew it, I knew I was right, they all made fun of me when I asked
if you could hear us but I knew that you could. I am so smart, unlike Ms.
Scientist. But enough about me, why are you speaking to me?"
"Tess, I know the
truth. And I need you to do something important for me", the granilith
said.
"Truth?" Tess says
meekly.
"I know that you are
not one of them. That you are evil....don't try to deny it, I am all
knowing.....I hear all, you little ho."
"What did you just call
me?" Tess yells.
"Uhhh...sorry, ho is
not a good term on earth? It is on our planet, my apologies."
"Ok, whatever, so I am
not what I seem, so what? They are too dumb to figure it out and being that you
haven't fried me yet, I figure that you must be on my side, so how can I help you?"
"You must help me set a
chain of events that will destroy the humans and bring max to you."
Her little beady eyes light
up. "Whatever you say, I will obey."
"I need you to make a
fireball, one smaller than you did last time, however."
"But I can't control
it," Tess says whining.
"I know that is what
you told them, but remember, I know all."
There is silence. "Ok,
ok, I can fire up whenever I want to. and anything that will lead to the
destruction of the humans can't possibly backfire on me, here goes."
Tess's face scrunches up in
that unattractive way of hers. She appears to concentrate and fire begins to
emanate from her. unbeknownst to her, Liz's jacket had been soaked in gasoline.
When she creates the fireball, she catches aflame and dies. As she screeches in
agony, Liz and Maria step out of the shadows with a voice alterer in hand.
"Maria, that
was....."
"AWESOME!!! did you see
the way that she went up. I told you she would take the bait. Humans one, bad
alien hoes zero."
