The alien stood by her ship. Rexie the dinosaur walked from a distance. He knew her. He didn’t know her name, but he knew that she was very bad. She had been mean to him in the past. And now it appeared that she had followed him all the way to Unicorn Planet from Pluto.
Rexie know a lot about different types of creatures. This alien was humanoid. She was bright blue and had tons of crazy, curly hair sticking up from the top of her head. She also had a thick mustache. Her name was Galaxy. While she looked delicate and she felt slimy, Rexie still was afraid of her because she could breathe fire—and fire HURT!
Rexie had noticed that Galaxy farted all day and all night. Mostly Rexie didn’t like Galaxy, but he did like how she smelled. He thought her farts smelled divine. It did worry Rexie though because gas and fire could easily explode.
Suddenly, Galaxy began to squeak loudly and quickly. Uh Oh. She must have seen him. Surprisingly, she didn’t immediately attack with her fire. Instead, she started eating what looked like burritos.
“Aha! She must be using the burritos to fuel her fire!” He didn’t think they would taste good. He thought they would be stinky and possibly poisonous. They might make him sick.
But then he had a very interesting idea. What if he could breathe fire too? What if he ate the burritos and breathed fire?
Just then, Galaxy dropped her burrito, turned around and ran into the ship. Uh-oh! What was she up to now?
He tromped over to the pile of burritos and began to eat them. Eww! Gross! These weren’t poisonous, and they weren’t going to make him breathe fire. They were made of poop. Yuck! Rexie spit out the burrito and lumbered off.
Then, a unicorn arrived. He had sunglasses and a mohawk, and he held a cannon. The unicorn aimed at the alien ship and shot. It exploded, but Galaxy leapt free just in time.
She rushed at Rexie, farting all the way. It made it hard for Rexie to concentrate.
Galaxy jumped on Rexie’s back. “Sorry for doing bad things, but I’m still going to fight you!”
A new unicorn jumped into the fray and began to sing. Then a kitty cat arrived and began to eat all the burritos.
Rexie loved the unicorn’s music. He felt so happy. Galaxy seemed happy, too. They all started to dance. Even the kitty cat. They became friends.
The End.
