Galacticlocks & The Three Peoples

Once upon a time, there were three peoples. Their names were Little, Small, Wee person; Middle-sized Parent and Great, Big, Huge Parent. This family of three inhabited a lovely, nice-sized apartment in present day New York City. They are a nice family; they each have their own Big Mac for dinner every night, they have their own laptops and their own Temperpedic Sleep Number beds.

One day, the peoples were enjoying their daily supper from McDonald's at their home and suddenly, Little, Small, Wee Person lost his Happy Meal toy! The previously happy family was now devestated. Since the parents couldn't handle their child's screaming, they ventured out into the city to find Little, Small, Wee Person his little, small, wee toy.

All of the while that the family was raoming through the city the front door to their apartment sat unlocked, for they trusted those who lived in their building. At that time, everyone else in the building had been out too, so no one was there to witness the huge flying saucer hovering around the windows. For some reason, the captain of the ship fancied the view through the three peoples' windows. The alien stepped out from the suacer. Because of his lucious lasery-out-of-this-world hair, he was called Galacticlocks. Being from the planet Galactia, which is universes away from Earth, the alien had never witnessed any human contact and knew no human ideas. The sight of the apartment was very interesting to him. New aromas of grilled meat and cheese flew out of the open window, tempting Galacticlocks. So, he broke through the glass and tumbled on in.

He surveyed the room, taking in everything he saw. It was all so foreign and wierd looking! Then a rumble filled the room. He tensed, but it was just his stomach. He was very hungry from all his space traveling. So, he let his nose take him into the peoples' kitchen. On the table sat three fresh, hot Big Macs. So, Glacticlocks strode over to the table and picked one up. This one was Great, Big, Huge Parent's; it had too much ketchup. Then, he moved onto Middle-sized Parent's; too much pickles. Finally, he set his eyes upon Little, Small, Wee Peron's. He took a bite; it was so perfect that he ate the whole thing.

Being so full, Galacticlocks needed a little entertainment. Luckily, he sighted a desk covered with computers. First, he tried the Great, Big, Huge Parent's computer. An old, chunky, dinosaur of a Dell. This spacely alien decided he was too hightened for the old man's ideal computer, so he moved on to the next. The next of the technologys was an up-to-date Dell laptop owned by Middle-sized Parent, but the horrible electronic 80s music was too much for the poor creature, so he switched off once again. Finally Galacticlocks settled down to the nice Macbook Pro of Little, Small, Wee Person. It had just the right amount of smooth jazz the alien was used to, and only the prettiest of space pictures. So he spent many hours enjoying its presence.

All of this high tech fun made Galacticlocks very sleepy, so he wandered anxiously around the apartment, searching for a place to sleep. Out of luck, he wandered right into the bedroom, his eyes droopy and dreary. This family's bedroom was filled with gloriously comfy Temperpedic Sleep Number beds, each with their own settings. The first bed the alien stumbled upon belonged to Breat, Big, Huge Parent. Immediately, Galacticlocks hopped off, for this bed was too firm to his liking, so he dropped himself into another bed. Middle-sized Parent's bed was next, but it was too soft and pillowy. Finally, he reached Little, Small, Wee Person's bed, which had the perfect amount of comfort levels. Now extra comfortable, Galacticlocks proceeded to his long, hardy slumber.

Meanwhile, across town the peoples had finally found Little, Small, Wee Person's Happy Meal. Now they were in a bright yellow taxi cab on their way back home. When they got home Great, Big, Huge Parent noticed that their apartment door was wide open. They family slowly walked inside, surveying their apartment. "Someone has been eating our Big Macs and Small, Wee Person's is all gone!" exclaimed Middle-sized Parent. "And someone has been using our computers!" cried Little, Small, Wee Person. "Someone has tried out our beds and is sleeping in Little, Small, Wee Person's bed!" bellowed Great, Big, Huge Parent. They family gathered in their bedroom and found Glacticlocks sound asleep in Little, Small, Wee Person's bed. Middle-sized Parent quickly got out her brand spanking new iPhone and called the authorities and told them what happened. Within minutes, special government workers were gathered in the people's apartment, asking questions and collecting evidence. All the while, Galacticlocks remained sound aleep. But when he finally woke up, he found himself inside a government testing headquarters, where he would remain for the rest of his life. The peoples where able to go on with their lives and live happily ever after.
