‘Good morning, earth children,’ he began. ‘My name is Lord Hallabutt of the Despinites. My knights and I have travelled all the way from Despina, the fifth moon of Neptune, for one thing . . .’

Lord Hallabutt pointed his trident at Mr Shue, who was lying on the floor in front of his desk.

‘Brunch!’

A coincidence is what we call something that is not planned or arranged but seems like it is. A coincidence can be as unremarkable as you and your best friend showing up to a Halloween party wearing the exact same costume, or as out-of-this-world remarkable as Nelson’s current situation.

You see, when he told his class yesterday that there was a race of teacher-eating aliens called the Despinites who lived on one of Neptune’s moons, he had no idea that there indeed was a race of aliens named exactly that who lived on the fifth moon of Neptune and loved nothing more than to eat teachers for brunch. It was an absolutely remarkable coincidence.

This is an absolutely remarkable coincidence, Nelson thought as he watched the enormous purple alien wearing a crown approach Mr Shue.

Nelson scanned the classroom to see every single one of his classmates hiding under their desks with their eyes closed. Except for Olive, who was waving her hands above her head, trying to get his attention.

‘Nelson!’ she shouted, over the screams of her cowering classmates. ‘Save Mr Shue!’

Mr Shue was huddled on the floor next to his desk, hugging his knees, looking like a terrified jellybean. Lord Hallabutt of the Despinites was standing over the teacher, holding his huge golden trident above his head. He was going to use the trident like a fork on Nelson’s terrified jellybean teacher!

Nelson weighed up his options. If he let Mr Shue get eaten, the aliens would probably just go back to Neptune and Nelson would never have to do homework again! At the very least, he’d finally get a new teacher.
