The alien stood by her spaceship. The FBI Agent, Bob, watched. The alien was obviously female. She had bright orange skin and humungous ears that also seemed to be wings. They each were bigger than the rest of her, and they managed to stick upright without sagging. The rest of her actually was quite small only one foot at the most.
Her spaceship was a long triangular shape – at least twenty-one feet long. It was made of a heat-resistant, copper-colored metal substance that the FBI agent couldn’t immediately identify.
The alien creature looked as if she would be soft to the touch but her skin seemed to radiate heat. He could see the heat shimmer off of her. Likewise, while the ship looked smooth and hard, it also appeared to be very hot.
The alien was letting off the very strong odor of burning fire. He didn’t like that smell. It was harsh and smoky and it smelled like danger. There was the very loud sound of drilling coming from the ship. He thought it might be some form of motor.
The girl was exploring the area around her ship. As she walked she made a crackling sound as if she herself was on fire. While she explored, she munched on something that looked like raw meat on a bone. Bob didn’t even want to think about what she was eating. While he was a little disturbed by the picture, he still couldn’t help but think that whatever she was eating looked salty and tasty.
All of a sudden, she tossed the bone aside and began to walk in a very fast and peculiar manner. Sort of in a circle but also in a bit of a zig-zag. Everywhere she walked, fire bloomed behind her. Soon she was running with a fire trail following.
Bob couldn’t let this happen. He pulled his firearm and raced toward the alien. She saw him and took to the sky, her ear wings flapping. Bob called for a helicopter. When it arrived he followed the flying creature. He shot the helicopter weapon at the creature but each time she was hit the hole would immediately heal.
All the shooting seemed to do was make her mad. She turned on the helicopter, blew fire and wind at it, and the helicopter spun out of control. It took everything Bob had to land it safely. The alien followed the helicopter down to the ground and engaged Bob in hand-to-hand combat.
Bob grabbed a nearby metal trash can and shoved it over the creature, capturing her for the moment. But the trash can went a molten red and began to melt, raining metal and sparks to the ground. The alien emerged from the wreckage intact.
A very very high-pitched sound came from her ears. Suddnly the mighty, godlike Chuck Norris appeared. “I am summoned,” he said. “Your wish is my command.”
The flying creature said, “Hola” then popped and morphed into Dora the Explorer.
Dora said, “Chuck don’t fight. No one fight. Fighting is not good for the environment. ?Si?”
“OK,” the FBI agent said, “no more fighting if you give us your autograph!”
The End.
