Now two of those aliens were your average short green things with wide flylikeeyes.However the third one-since she was a teenager-was sevenfeet tall and was purple. (Aliens shrink as they grow older). One day the three aliens were getting ready to eat some cheeseburgers. However because the cheeseburgers were in tubes, the molecules had to rearrange themselves into 'real' cheeseburgers. This would take about 30 minutes. "Mom! Since, like, our cheeseburgers aren't ready yet we should, like, go to the movies. But, like, don't sit next to me! You and dad are, like, so embarrassing!" teenage Jennifer said to her mother Klax.

"Hello?" she called,poking her head around the comer. When Charlotte realized there was no one home she decided to go inside to collect evidence for her teacher, Ms. Wilson. "She's gonna be so proud of me!" Charlotte thought out loud. When she saw the now formed cheeseburgers on the table she immediately went to taste them. She took a bite of the first one, and almost spat it back out. "That is waaay too cheesy!" she exclaimed and moved on to the next cheeseburger. When she took a bite out of this one, again she almost spat it back out. "Ew what is wrong with the cheese? It's moldy!" Charlotte took a bite out of the third cheeseburger, it was just right, so she ate it all up. She wandered into the next room and Charlotte saw three chairs, each made of different types of stone.

The chair was so soft she had sunken into its cushions and was gone from view. With some difficultyCharlotte pulled herself out COIl!.
