One sunny, breezy, beautiful day in 2079 Tampa, Florida started out as the perfect day; but was gonna end up being the scariest day. Started out with the kids playing outside, neighbors conversing, and it just seemed like a very peaceful day. And news going around the block was that new neighbors were going to move in in the abandoned house: the William house.
 * The Unseen**

The neighborhood kids are especially excited for the new neighbors. In the neighborhood there are 15 houses. And about 8 kids. The oldest are Sally and Brandon Hansen, they are fraternal twins. And then their is Erica Martins and Jacob Scott. They all go to the same school, Rodriguez Elementary School. You could say that all of their imaginations run a bit wild, and everyone knew that. But anyway, everyone was baking and getting ready for the new neighbors. At about 2:30 PM the movers truck entered the neighborhood. All the adults ran outside to greet them. By that time the children were inside watching a movie. The movie was about aliens that could clone people, and once they cloned people and soon their plan was to turn the neighbors against each other. Mrs.Roberts went to go get the children. "Kids the new neighbors are here, come out and greet them." said Mrs.Roberts. "Awesome, I cant wait to meet them!" Brandon said. "I wonder if there is a girl our age Erica," Sally wondered. All the children ran outside to greet the new family. All the parents were talking to them and giving them homemade pies. The Hansen's called their kids over, "Sally, Brandon, Come and meet the Archibald's," said Mrs.Hansen. They stood there waiting for Sally and Brandon. Mr.Hansen turned around to see what they were doing. When he looked they all "Kids what are you doing, why are you starring?" asked Mr.Hansen "Dad get away from them!" screech Sally. "Ew look at their faces!" yelled Brandon.

"Excuse my children, their imaginations are running wild. I'm really sorry!" Apologized Mr.Hansen. "Its okay we understand, just make sure they don't do this at school Mr.Hansen. That wouldn't end well." said Mr.Archibald. "But anyway welcome to neighborhood." said Mr.Hansen. After that the kids were all hiding in the Hansen's house, they refused to go out. They were truly terrified. "Kids oped this door now!" yelled Mrs.Hansen as she banged on the door of their house. The kids locked it so that the "aliens" wouldn't come in. "Mom how can you not see their faces, aren't you scared?" asked sally. "Scared of what, there is nothing wrong with their faces they look like very nice people." answered Mrs.Hansen. "Well we're not coming out!" yelled Brandon. After that Mrs.Hansen decided to leave them be, she walked of to where the adults were having a party for the Archibald's.

The kids were all whispering to each other about the new neighbors, they all wanted answers. They looked at the Brandon's kids for answers since they were the oldest out of the whole group. "We all saw that, right?" asked Brandon. "Yes we all saw it you idiot! What were they?" asked Lilly. "I don't know, but I'm scared!" asked little Eliot Gonzalez. "I know we are all scared, but we have to find a way to prove that there is something wrong. I just don't understand how our parents didn't see their faces." sally explained. "How come only the kids saw the aliens and not the parents?" asked Jacob. "you noticed that too, i think there must be some explanation behind it." said Erica. There was more and more comments but it eventually descended into complete and silence. But it was loud silence, the atmosphere was filled with fear.

After the long minute or two of silence, Susan Roberts face lit up, "What if to see the aliens you have to think like a little kid. You know not have a grown up mind." Everyone starred at each other deciding whether that's the real reason. "I mean just think about it, we all are considered "little" kids, even if we hate that, its true. All of us saw them. None of the grown ups or the teenagers saw the aliens. That has to be the answer." Everyone mumbled and chattered within themselves. "Alright quiet down everyone," ordered Brandon, "so if this is true what are we gonna do about it?" "Maybe we should somehow convince the adults and teens to think like a little kid again." suggested Sally. "That's not a bad idea Sal," said Erica, "now anyone have suggestions on how we are gonna do this?" Everyone was silent "What if we all go to our parents tonight and tell them the story, and for the next couple of days try to make them think like a kid again. Remind them of when they were little." said Amy Burks. "Alright lets do it!" everyone yelled out.

The next couple of days were definitely hard for the kids, They couldn't even focus at school. And every time they would see the Archibald aliens they got scared but had to act normal. But they definitely succeeded. Once they all made sure that their parents could see the aliens they gathered together one night an came up with a plan. "So we've all see what the problem is," started Sally, "all we need now is a plan on how to get rid of them." "And now this is where we need you guys to help." said Brandon. "Well why don't we just invite them over telling them its another welcoming gift. And once they come in we trap them and question them. Once we get our answers we force them to go back to their home planet." Said Mr.Brandon. Everyone seemed like they agreed, the kids didn't think it was gonna be that easy. But they did just as they said they would. Mr.Hansen the Archibald's over. He said they would have dinner at eight. Before that they got everything prepared for the questioning. "Everything good to go?" asked Mrs.Hansen "Yes." Everyone answered. Right after that a knock came to the door. It was them. "Alright lets go." Whispered Mrs.Hansen. Right as they walked in four of the men grabbed each member of the Archibalds into the basement. They gave them anesthesia so that they wouldn't possibly contact their planet. "They're waking up!" yelled Erica. "Whats going on!" asked Mr.Archibald as he tried to brake loose. "You're wasting your time trying to get out of those knots." said Mr.Hansen

"Now who are you and what do you want?" asked Mr.Hansen "How did you find out? asked the little girl. "I'll ask the questions," Hansen yelled "Now tell me who you are and what you want? "We're from the planet Zenon, we were just here to see if Earth was a survivable planet. Nothing else." Said Mrs.Archibald. "Well that was easy,"Said Mrs. Hansen. nut we still want you out of our neighborhood and our planets. Us humans don't want any aliens invading our planet. You need to leave. "I'm afraid that isn't gonna happen, we need to complete our mission." said Archibald. "Well looks like your trip is going to end a little sooner then you expected." said Mr.Hansen. After that he punched the father of the alien family. "No leave him alone!" yelled the little boy. "Mom lets just go!" said the little girl. "fine, don't hurt us anymore, we'll leave just let us go."said Mrs.Archibald. After that they untied the family and let them go.

After that day there was no more worrying or fear, everything was back to normal. There was never a sign of any aliens anymore. And there wasn't going to be. The neighborhood families were going to make sure of that. They told their story to the world, and people at first thought they were all crazy, but soon people started to believe them. And now there are anti-alien groups to protect the human race.
