Jelly Fish Alien Spaceship

Jelly fish alien spaceship called the children from their beds. My brother was the first one up, he tapped me on the head. It’s eight o’clock I snarled at him, in a grouchy mood at best. I was irritated because tomorrow is a fourth grade fraction test. Come on! He hissed. Remember the dream we’ve had for so long? Tide is up, the moon is full, and I can hear the alien’s children’s song. My eyes opened wide and I looked straight into his big orbs of blue. Are you sure it’s the one? I asked him. Is the faerie prophecy true? We will never know unless you get dressed, he coaxed me but hush. The jelly fish ship would not go without us, still we had better rush. I put on my clothes hastily and we tiptoed down our house’s stair. One step creaked, and we both held our breath, listening to the air. Ran to the sea barefooted, and the aliens waved their happy wave. Where do you want to go? The big one asked. His name was Mr. Dave. We do not care, Italy maybe, Japan, New Zealand, and Kenya too? Climbed aboard that jelly fish ship and traveled the world, just us two.
