The alien stood by its ship. Harry Styles watched. Harry felt a little awkward. This strange being had been watching him for awhile. He wondered why?
The alien was very tall- a giant, and super green and scaly, but it was wearing clothes which made it seem a little like a human. It had six arms and three legs so the clothing was pretty complicated. It had the fattest head Harry had ever seen and it was a Cyclops with only one eye. Strangely it had the smallest mouth he’d ever seen, which was sort of reassuring since it would be hard for the alien to eat him. The alien was almost as fat as its head and it looked as if it was carrying an insulin pack. Did it have the alien version of diabetes? The alien was enormous, a v-shaped machine the size of a baseball stadium. It looked as if it was some sort of metal, but it was painted a shiny gold. Harry thought the alien’s scales would feel rough and shiny. It’s clothing looked more like armor-metal.
The ship looked as if it could burn his hand. It had flames of fire all around it. He thought the ship may have crashed on landing. He smelled the very strong scent of oil, maybe from the ship or from the crash. The only other thing Harry smelled was the bitter odor of garlic. He knew that it was coming from him but not because of anything he’d eaten. Fortunately he’d made the decision of kissing a girl who reaked of garlic and she had passed that smelled along. YUM!
Strangely the ship was making loud screeching noises. At first, Harry thought it came from inside but now he believed the ship itself was screeching. He wondered if it was alive. Harry was sucking on a blue raspberry jolly rancher. His favorite. He loved the combination of sweet and sour. He thought it tasted exactly how a cross between a blueberry and raspberry might taste.
Harry checked his watch. It was still early in the morning but it felt later because the sun was shining so brightly here in Miami. He had an hour or so before he had to get to the beach venue for his concert today.
Suddenly the alien charged Harry and with 3 legs and a very large body, it could move fast. Harry tried to get away but before he could, the alien grabbed him with all six arms.
Harry wasn’t quite sure how to handle this but he’d been raised to be polite, so he said, “Hi mijo.”
The alien didn’t respond but it seemed confused. It’s one large eye blinked and sort of swirled. After a long pause, the alien slapped Harry. Then it slapped him again. Six times with six different hands it slapped Harry. Man, those hurt.
Harry got mad. He wanted to slap this alien back. But this alien was huge. Harry’s best course of action was to escape. He struggled to free himself and tried to jump out of the alien’s arms, but the alien was too strong. Harry decided to try a monster burp. He belched right into the alien’s face. All that garlic came up and the alien’s eye glazed over and the alien collapsed in a faint.
Still mad, Harry jumped onto the monster’s face to get even for the slaps. All of a sudden, the huge ship began to rise into the air. Harry lept into the air and grabbed the doorknob to the ship’s entrance. He turned it but it was locked. He didn’t have the key. Now the ship was rising higher and higher and he was hanging on by a doorknob. Harry let go and fell to the ground, only he fell onto the alien. The alien awoke and grabbed Harry again. Oh no-not again!
Just then, Harry’s manager arrived in a limo. “Harry we need to get going for your concert.” he said.
Suddenly a stampede of fan girls arrived, screaming, “Harry!” at the top of their lungs.
The alien dropped Harry. He thought all the noise was bothering it. Harry quickly moved to the limo, for once ignoring all his fans. He needed to get away from this crazy alien. But then he was tackled to the ground. It was the alien yet again.
The girls went wild. Now as they screamed “Harry,” they were angry. They ran at the alien.
Right before they attacked, a mechanical arm came out of the ship and knocked Harry to the ground. The alien seemed to lose interest in Harry. In fact Harry thought the alien was seeming very happy about all the girls. It grabbed the girl closest to it.
Oh no, Harry thought. He had to save her. He yelled “Zayn, Liam, Niam, Louis! Come help. We got to save the girl.”
With their amazing six-pack physiques they attacked. The alien immediately dropped the girl.
”Run!” they yelled to her. Then they began to fight the monster alien.
Zayn cried, “To the Death!”
