-ALL:

-Lulu Zipadoo!

Ah!

Aaah.

Huh?

What...?

What is that?

Eh?

Hugo, wake up!

-We have to find it.

-Find what?

A thing I saw in the sky.

-A plane?

-No.

-A star?

-No.

-Some clouds?

-No!

It was a big metal ball flying around without making a sound.

It landed in the pine trees but I can't find it.

-A big metal ball?

-Yes.

You mean it could be a...erm...?

Yes, a ship from outer space.

Oh. Ha-ha-ha!

Not that. Not that. Oh, that one looks funny.

Erm...?

Oh, there it is! That's what I saw.

The aliens have landed. We're going to meet them.

-You're right, Lulu. We're going to contact them.

-Huh?

-Contact.

-Contact.

-Contact.

-Contact.

THEY LAUGH

So there must be some aliens around here.

-Oh, that's great! As great as...

-As the stars above.

-Yes!

They landed in the pine trees.

Come on, let's try and find them.

Wait, Spike. Don't you think it's a little risky?

What if the aliens aren't that nice, then?

Don't worry, Barry, I'll look after you.

Oh, yes, it'll be great. We are going to meet them.

We could invite them to come to school with us.

-That way they could do our homework.

-That's a great idea.

-ALL:

-No more homework! No more homework!

How do you know the aliens will be nice with us?

And how will we recognise them?

Are they tall? Are they small?

Are they really tiny?

Well, I think they're more like this.

THEY LAUGH

Yes...like prehistoric hares.

THEY LAUGH

I think they're more like this.

Bing-bing-bing!

-ALL:

-Bing-bing-bing!

Oh, no, I know what they look like.

They look like nothing and everything at the same time.

They can turn into any shape they want. I read that in a book.

Any shape?

Any shape. They can just decide what they want to look like.

It could be a tree or a flower or a stone or even one of us.

So, Miss, what planet are you from?

Who are you talking to, Hugo?

Well, to that alien right in front of me who looks like a flower.

THEY LAUGH

That's so funny!

What are we going to do if aliens can look like anything?

Don't worry, Hattie, I'll sniff them out.

Right, we'll split into groups.

Freddie and Freda, you look that way.

Barry and Spike, over that way. Hattie and Hugo, come with me.

Ooh!

Over there, Spike. That looks like it could have come from outer space.

That rock there?

I...I...It's one of those aliens who's taken the shape of a ladybird.

We're surrounded.

Ooo-hoo-hoo!

-I can see the spaceship.

-It's over there.

-Yes, there it is!

-Want to climb aboard?

-You go, Freda. I'm too small.

I'll take a closer look.

Look! We've found the alien spaceship.

Yes. That's the one I saw.

Contact is near.

Oh, my! This is so exciting.

Help!

It's the aliens! The aliens!

They've turned into ladybirds and into dragonflies.

No, no. Come and see. We've found them.

They're up there.

Well, actually, they landed a while ago.

They've probably already come down from the tree.

-So where are they, then?

-Who do they look like?

Maybe they've taken our shapes.

Spike's right. It's the best way of coming into contact with us.

So how are we going to know if it's them or us?

We have to ask each other questions.

Whoever doesn't answer correctly has to be an alien.

Good idea. I'll start. Lulu, what are your favourite words?

Hair bunches and shell.

Phew! It's her. That's our Lulu.

My turn now. Hugo, what's your favourite food?

Carrots, but wild ones.

You're definitely Hugo.

In class, Hattie, who do you sit next to?

Next to you. And you, Barry, where do you sit?

-I'm next to Hugo. And you, Spike?

-In front of you.

And what about you two?

Erm...I don't really know. What was the question?

-Where do you sit in class?

-Well, you know...!

-Why are you asking us that?

-Hmm.

-Hmm.

-Hmm.

-Hmm.

-Hmm.

-When's your birthday, Freddie and Freda?

-BOTH:

-The same day.

Of course. You're twins. But what's the exact date?

I'll tell you right before so you won't forget to give us a present.

One second, you two. I'll be right back.

(They couldn't answer the questions. Maybe they're the aliens.)

What should we do?

We have to talk to them nicely

so they tell us where the real Freddie and Freda are, OK?

All right.

Oh, look. What's going on? A new game, you think?

Probably. Maybe some kind of tag.

-Come on, then. Let's go!

-Quick!

Spike! Barry! Go and get some help!

We'll try and catch up with them. Quick!

-Stop! Please don't run away.

-We just want to talk to you!

They want to talk to us.

-I think it's a trick.

-You're right. Come on. Let's go faster.

We've lost them.

Stop!

-BOTH:

-Woah!

Well, I think we've lost, Freddie.

I think you're right.

I'm telling you that aliens don't exist.

Of course they do. We found their spaceship in the forest.

Come with us and you'll see.

Fine.

-All right, that's enough.

-All right, we lost the game of tag.

-The game of what?

-Weren't we playing tag?

Well, no.

All right, now tell us, where are the real Freddie and Freda?

-Well, I'm the real Freda.

-And I'm the real Freddie.

Well, erm...I think so.

Can we go home now?

Your home in space?

I'm starting to get worried.

I don't know what you think but maybe they're all aliens, you know?

Well, what's going on here?

So, what is going on?

These aliens have taken Freddie and Freda.

They've taken their shape.

And they won't tell us where the real Freddie and Freda are.

We're not aliens.

Yes, that's what all you aliens say. That's not enough.

I don't understand what you're talking about.

What if we showed you their spaceship?

-Would you believe us then?

-Hmm...

There! You can see it.

This alien spaceship of yours is just a weather balloon.

-What kind of balloon?

-A weather balloon.

Weather balloons are used to forecast the weather.

They're sent high in the sky.

They check things like temperature and humidity and wind.

That way we can know if it'll rain.

-Or if it'll be nice.

-Exactly.

-Are you sure we can't keep it?

-No. We have to do what Brendan said.

Goodbye, weather balloon.

Are you sad, Lulu?

Well, a little.

Actually, I'd like to meet aliens from outer space.

I'm sure we will one day, Lulu.

In the meantime, why don't we have an alien snack?

-What's an alien snack?

-It's a huge snack.

THEY LAUGH

Freddie, did you understand anything?

No, not a thing. But it was fun.

-By the way, when is my birthday?

-The same day as mine.

Oh, right. That's what I thought.

Wait up!
