Before you read this, there are some things you should know about me and my brother and our friends. All of us are twins and all of us were an odd type of psychic. You see, we could talk to another twin without speaking. I have recently kept a small account of what happened that made us, me, Mike (my brother), Jess (my best friend) and Ralph (Jess' twin brother), lose our psychic ability. Anyway, here I go.
It all started when, I, Rachel, suggested going to the beach after school. I used my psychic ability to suggest this during my math class. Ralph answered first, saying that it was a great idea, and he was sure Jess and Mike would think so too. Well, they did. So, after school, we rode our bikes to the beach. We were discussing (aloud) the science fair and what we were doing for it. Jess and I were doing a unit on ESP. We laughed about that. It was funny, because my hobby is to cheat on computerized psychic tests. I really get a kick out of it.
When we got to the beach, we played hide and seek. On the north end of the beach, the Coast Guard had a big radio tower. . I thought to everyone:
"Cool radio tower."
One of the Coast Guard patrols gave a cry of surprise.
"Hey, our radio tower is malfunctioning. It's picking up really weird radio signals. Wait a minute,... They don't seem to be radio signals, they are more like brain waves."
All of a sudden, a big purple glowing disc dropped out of the sky and landed with a soft hiss onto the sand in front of the bushes along the beach. It opened like a clam and two beings that looked like men walked out. The two alien men ran towards us. I think it may have had something to do with my brain waves.
I have a little bit of common sense. So I ran behind the bushes that line the beach. The rest of my friends didn't notice I was gone and were wondering what to do as the two strangers approached.. I was shocked when I recognized the odd men. One was Mr. Roszen and the other was Mr. Snide. They were the school janitors. They had heard everything the coast guard had said about brain waves..
By chance, one of my friends thought something to another and it got intercepted by Mr. Roszen. I could tell from the look on Mr. Snide's face that something bad was about to happen so I rushed up behind the janitors. Picking up a pebble from the sand, I threw it at Mr. Roszen hoping to distract him. It sure did work. He turned around just as I snuck in front of them. Reminder: we had been bicycling to the beach before this all happened so I grabbed our bikes and we all biked away as fast as we could. Unfortunately that wasn't fast enough and they overtook us. But I managed to get away.
I'm pretty lucky I guess. But I managed to take the janitors car keys and that got Mr. Snide's attention again. He didn't really care because he saw the disc was closing. So when Mr. Roszen and Mr. Snide went away with my three friends, I went too. But they didn't seem to notice.
Meanwhile, the purple disc closed with a snap.
We appeared on the alien space disc and nobody saw me because I was hiding. They took my friends and put them in a cell on the ship. I overheard the alien's plans.
"We should leave at 9:59. If we want to take brain samples to find out whether we will take over this planet." said Mr. Snide to a walkie-taikie.
I guess I really didn't take his car keys, I took the keys for the whole ship and the boys' bathroom at our school. I think the custodial closet keys were there too.
Anyway, I tried all of the keys on the lock for the cell holding my friends. They were freaking out. Ralph was advising me on which key to put in the lock next while Mike kept a lookout for any aliens. One was coming just as I found the key. I opened up the cell. My friends got out okay. The alien started coming right at me.
The alien was trying to block us and he had called for more aliens. They came to form a blockade to stop us but we got through quickly by head butting the nearest one.
That's when we discovered that they were actually made of Styrofoam and they would burn. I found a match and the fuel container.
Just as Mike, Ralph and Jess got to the escape hatch, I lit the match and put it in the fuel container. We jumped out the escape hatch just as the container exploded.
We landed in the bushes at the beach again and biked home as fast as possible. The next morning as Mike and I went down to breakfast from our room tad came in with the newspaper. "Look at this!" he exclaimed, "there was a giant boom heard over the beach. Hey... wait a moment! Weren't you kids there? " Mike and I answered at the same time "NO!" Well Dad believed us but Mom just gave us that look.
At school we heard that the janitors had quit their jobs but some rumors started up that they were involved with the boom heard over the beach. The four of us said nothing, but we all silently agreed that if the others even heard the truth they wouldn't believe it anyhow.
And the funny thing is we can't seem to be able to communicate secretly with each other anymore.
