What’s That You’re Wearing?

An instant later, a hatch on the empty tube popped open. A bunch of mole aliens grabbed Jeff and threw him in. Then they came for Holly.

“Get your paws off me, you, you—moles!” she cried, trying to get free. But the moles held tight.

“We’re short on Earthling Destruction Tubes,” said Exetor. “You don’t mind sharing, do you?”

“We do, actually,” said Holly, still struggling. “That’s something you gotta learn about earthlings. We have to have our own tubes. Sorry, I’ll wait for the next one.”

“OH, JUST GET IN!” Exetor shouted.

The mole aliens snorted and tossed Holly into the tube with Jeff. Then Exetor pressed a button on the outside of the tube.

Ssss! A stream of pink gas shot into the tube.

“Holly!” cried Jeff. “The sleeping gas!”

Before Jeff could think another thought, Holly spat out her bubble gum and slapped it over the nozzle. The gas stopped.

“Whoa! Quick thinking, Holly!” said Jeff.

“Oh, big deal,” snorted Exetor. “Zoll can destroy you himself.” Then he and his mole aliens scurried over to a giant control panel near the landing area.

“Don’t worry, Holly,” said Jeff. “We’ll get out of here. We’ll save our friends. We’ll stop the invasion. We’ll be heroes.”

“Sounds great, Jeff,” said Holly. “How?”

Jeff didn’t answer right away. Mostly because he had absolutely no idea how. Not a clue. But it felt better to pretend that he did. “Can’t tell you, not in front of them.”

Holly nodded. “A secret plan! That’s cool.”

Yeah, right, thought Jeff. So secret even he didn’t know it. It would take a miracle to get them out of this one.

Jeff tapped on the tube. “Hey, Mr. Mole. Why are you invading here? I mean, why attack our town?”

Exetor smirked again. “Simple. We needed a place where no one would notice us!”

Jeff instantly remembered the faces of Principal Bell and Mrs. Vickers when he and Holly told them about the aliens. “He’s got a point.”

The moles continued to work. They turned dials, moved levers. Some were checking screens with little green lights blinking on them.

Holly tried to stare a hole in Exetor’s back. Then she turned to Jeff. “Oh, I wish this were one of my dad’s movies. Then I could just walk out when it came to this part.”

Jeff glanced around the cavern. The whole situation didn’t look good. Their tube was sealed up tight. Their friends were taking a deep snooze. The control panels all around them were groaning and whining. The mole aliens were grunting.

And soon this guy Zoll would come and lead his stupid invasion!

Invasion.

The word sounded horrible. Scary. Grover’s Mill taken over by mole aliens. Ugly mole aliens. Who would stop them? Who could stop them?

Jeff swallowed hard. “Hey!” he called out. “Why does Zoll hate earthlings?”

Exetor smirked. “Why? Because Zoll is Zoll!”

“Again with the Zoll-is-Zoll thing,” said Holly, very annoyed.

“Silence!” shrieked Exetor. “He is coming!”

VRMMMM! Suddenly, the ground above them rumbled. Thunder boomed in the cavern.

“Open the landing port!” Exetor cried.

VRRRRT! High above them, the foundation of the pretty blue house slid aside, the roof of the house opened, and a giant cloud lowered itself through the house.
