Chewbacca and the Alien

The alien stood by its spaceship. Chewbacca, the monster, watched. Chewbacca lived on the Deathstar but he had never seen this alien before.

The alien was neon blue. It had twenty arms and six big eyes. It was as big as a sasquatch only a lot fatter. Chewbacca thought they were about the same height only he was in much better shape due to all those situps. This was one disgusting, slimy, alien. Its skin looked all sticky.

The space ship was a lot smaller than the Deathstar, at least twenty times smaller. It was a perfect square and it looked as if it was made to be camoflauged—all brown and green patterned. But the Deathstar was a steel color so the spaceship stood out like a sore thumb. The ship appeared to be made out of a strange liquid, possibly even colored water. The walls moved like waves. The alien had stuck its hand through the ship’s wall and portions of the wall streamed around his hand. The liquid looked cold.

The alien reeked of water. Its odor was sweet and cloying. Chewbacca had never liked the smell of water. It was way too sweet for him. His preference was to drink straight petrolium oil.

Chewbacca lifted his head and howled “ARGHCCCCCCCG” . He hoped the alien would unterstand that he was asking why the alien was here.

Then Chewbacca’s father who he refered to fondly as “Frizzy,” arrived. His father was about three feet tall and had a huge, black afro with little antenna sticking out of the top .

Frizzy yelled , “TROLL!”

Despite Chewbacca’s roar and Frizzy’s yell, the alien ignored them and ate pasta instead. Yuck! Chewbacca hated pasta. It tasted like brocolli. Super Yuck! Disgusting! The alien finished its pasta. It had a strange look in all six eyes. It stared around the deathstar. Suddenly, it went on a rampage. It ripped into the deathstar with its teeth and began to chew loudly. It grunted and made funny growling noises.

It lumbered across the area and grabbed Frizzy by the top of his afro. No one touched Chewbacca’s dad! Chewbacca rushed to his dad. He took out his trusty knife and cut off his dad’s afro. Frizzy fell to the ground. Chewbacca felt good about the way he had saved his dad’s antenna whil cutting off his hair.

Just then, Justin B shimmered into the area. He had obviously teleported. He ran at the alien and took a big bite out of him. He began to chew. Despite his dislike of the alien’s smell, Chewbacca thought it might taste good—like moldy cheese.

The alien grabbed Justin and began to bang him against the ground. Jusin began to sing “Boyfriend!” The alien screamed like a little girl and ran. It ran into a wall.

Selena simmered into the area. She ran at the alien and slapped it. Then One Direction showed up.

Wow Chewbacca thought. Was there going to be a concert?

One Direction sang and ran toward the alien. They sang, “Baby, Baby, we’re gonna take it back to its planet, planet—woo woo woo!”

An awesome starship landed and AC/DC—chewbacca’s favorite band—arrived. They rushed at the other artists and kicked them off the planet. Then AC/DC piled back into their starship and took off. As Chewbacca watched, they flew into a giant space squid. OH NO! NOT AC/DC! ARGHHHHHHH!!
