The alien stood by its ship. Miley Cyrus watched,
“Oh no!” Miley thought the alien had found the secret entrance to their underground base. She was watching from the observation room through a camera monitor. She knew it was after her and the other celebrities hiding on the base: Justin Bieber, the One Direction crew and many more. She didn’t know why, but she also wasn’t looking to find out.
The alien looked just like Chewbacca from Star Wars only his hair was light green- it was a big green and hairy monster. It had very sharp teeth and claws. She could no longer see the ship, but when the alien had landed, it looked like glass with green lights. Immediately after it went invisible- that was some cloaking technology.
Miley imagined what it would be like to lick the alien. She thought it would taste like vomit-yum. She loved that taste. It was just like her favorite food: snails.
She thought that if she touched it, its hair would feel tangley and dirty. Despite being many rooms away, she could still smell a rotten poo odor that had to be coming from the aliens.
“Gross!’’ It was disgusting. She made a face. She wished she could move to a room farther away. In the background she heard her song, “Wrecking Ball”, playing. She wished whoever was playing it would turn it off. She was not in the mood for music-even her own. The alien was too disturbing.
Suddenly the alien whipped out a banana gun and began to shoot bananas all over the room, making a big mess. Miley could smell the rotten bananas. She loved that smell- it was like a perfume. Maybe she could bottle it and market it and make lots of money! She stopped coming up with business ideas when the alien blasted through the door for the room next to her. That was close!
The room was empty. On another camera monitor Miley watched the alien search for her. It paused and picked up something. It was one a shoe. She looked down and realized she was barefoot. The creature sniffed the shoe and then cocked its head as if it was thinking hard. She had a feeling that the shoe was hers. It raised its head and stared at the wall that separated them. Oh oh, Miley thought. She was sure that it knew she was there.
It barreled through the adjoining door, banana gun raised. Miley had no idea how to save herself so she went with her default move. She started to twerk- She twerked and twerked. After a few seconds the alien dropped its weapon and started to dance. Fortunately Miley’s music still played in the background. The alien danced so crazily that it stepped on the banana gun. Bananas exploded out and everywhere. They paused in their dancing.
Miley decided that she better try another tact. She ran to the far wall and pulled down a sledgehammer that was hanging there. They stared at each other. Neither was willing to make the next move.
Suddenly the door opened. Justin Bieber walked in eating form a bag of Doritos. Normally Miley really liked Doritos and would have tried to snag them from Justin, but she was a little busy right now.
Justin asked, “Hey what’s going on?”
Miley said, “We are having a staring contest. What do you thinks going on? The aliens trying to kill me.”
The alien took one look at Justin and cried out. It covered its eyes and ran out of the room. Miley turned to Justin “Geez it must really think you’re ugly.”
Justin looked surprised. “Wow that’s a really mean thing to say. Its so not true.”
All of a sudden, a golden car rolled into the room. It came via a large door that looked like a garage door. It was on the far wall. Barney the purple dinosaur exited from the car. Miley remembered that Barney had been one of the celebrities that the alien had been threatening.
In unison Miley and Justin cried, “Did you see that alien run by?” Barney waived his little arms. “Oh yes, that big scary green alien? It was terrifying!”
Eminem strolled in to the room. “I like to kill people”, he said.
“Random” Miley said.
Then Selena arrived. She walked straight up to the Bieb and slapped him. “You stole my Doritos!”
Barney inched over to the banana gun and reached for it.
Miley said, “Why are you trying to get the banana gun?”
“No reason,” he said. “Just trying to clean up the room.”
Something about Barney was making Miley suspicious. Barney told everyone that he had to do something and he left the room. Miley raced over to the security monitors. The others followed. They were horrified to see Barney and the alien twerking together. They looked way too friendly.
“Barney betrayed us,” Miley said.
“Did Barney help the alien sneak into the base?” Miley grabbed the earlier tapes.
Sure enough they found one that showed Barney helping the alien bring its ship inside. Miley had to think quick. She ran out to Barney and the alien and began to twerk with them. She had to make them believe she was on their side.
