There was nothing I loved more than riding my skateboard through town. I was pretty good at it and able to weave in and out of traffic. Sometimes I would bump into some people but they should've gotten out of my way. I was going to be a professional skateboarder. I was that talented.

I was so smooth that I could multitask while I zipped through the city. I could eat a sandwich, have a drink, or even text my friends. I got a new iPhone for my birthday and I used it all the time. I was pretty good at texting and chatted all the time with my friends. I probably should've been focusing on the road ahead but what could possible go wrong?

And then this happened.......

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!"

While I was texting my buddy Baby John, I failed to see the STOP sign and ended up falling down a manhole. I hit the ground hard but only ended up with a few bumps and bruises. I was up to my knees in dirty, smelly water though. It appears that I had fallen into a sewer that ran underneath the city. I also began to sense that I wasn't alone.

I was surrounded by a group of weird-looking blue creatures. They had big black eyes and they looked like giant bugs. "Hi, my name is Christopher" I said not knowing if these beings even understood what I was saying. "Hello Christopher" one of the aliens replied. Shocked that the creature's response, I nearly fell over.

"Surprised that I can speak your language? Well, we've been here for centuries. We first arrived on Earth millions of years ago and thought about setting up a new colony for our people. Our planet was getting too crowded so we needed more room for our growing population."

"We built the pyramids in Egypt, Stonehenge in England, and you know all of those crop circles around the world?" "Yeah." "That was us as well. We really wanted our new home to look incredible. We are a very creative species. We love the arts: music, books, and painting. Not every group of aliens wants to blow up the world you know."

"And then one day, without warning, our spacecraft left without us. They stranded the four of us on earth where we've been ever since. We miss our home and our families so much."

"As more humans began to populate the planet, it made life more difficult for us. Soon everyone became fascinated by our many talents that they wouldn't leave us alone. That's when we decided to go underground. We've been there ever since."

"We have been all over the world, travelling from country to country. Unfortunately we haven't been able to get out and admire all of the work that we've done. Now we just want to go home." "Where is that?" Christopher queried. "It's off in a distant galaxy if it's even still around. We just don't know how to contact our planet. It's so far away."
