At this point in time, there is a boy named Jack. He is in high school and has a truly marvelous family, but he never does the right thing. When he walks out of his house through the back door, ready to go to school, he finds something weird in his backyard: there is a small ship. It’s nothing like the boy has ever seen. It’s an alien.
The alien speaks an odd language and is miserable because he lost his mother on his way to earth. He can’t deal with the anxiety of being without his mother, so he goes to sleep behind the crashed ship, away from the boy because he is still not comfortable with the boy yet.
The boy, feeling sad, makes the choice to skip school and help the alien find his mother, but he can’t get anywhere because when the alien tries to talk to him, he can’t understand.
He tries to search the ship and looks for a coms device. Sure enough, there is one. The boy, using his innovative mind, records all the voice calls the alien and his mother had. He has a dearth of parts so he tries to find similarities in their technology and our technology, such as a USB cable like we humans use. After numerous tries, he eventually makes a translator using the words that he and his mother communicated with. This way he can find out where they were supposed to land. He starts his journey after the alien tells him they were supposed to land in New York City. Good thing the boy lives just East of the city. He travels on his bike for at least three hours; he doesn’t have a car because his parents think he would crash it on the first day.
He arrives in the city, immediately seeing men in hazmat suits blocking the area where the alien’s mother is. The alien is being oppressed and starts to be loaded into a helicopter. The kid realizes that he came all the way here for nothing unless he can save the alien’s mother. He elaborately sneaks his way past the guards and unlocks the chains imprisoning the alien. Then he holds up the translator and dictates, “I have your son. We have to get out of here.” The alien’s mother is set free. Staring into the black visor that covers the cowardly faces that imprisoned her, she beats up all the oppressors and takes her son and the boy and super jumps all the way back to his house.
When they arrive, the boy’s mother and father are sitting by the pool and both pass out. They eventually realize that he did a good thing and is competent enough to drive a car. The alien’s mother rebuilds the ship with earth parts and they are off. Before the aliens leave, they say, “We will never forget you, Jack, and we are very sorry for the trouble you had to go through to get us. We came to earth because our planet was corrupt; the sovereign did nothing for us. He just wanted for himself and he starved us. He had to use subterfuge and bluff on many occasions to achieve his goal of ultimate power, so the people organized a group where we could live a better life on another planet. I was sent to scout out earth and see if it would have been a good place to live, but humans have already claimed this planet.” This has changed the kid’s whole look on his life. He now feels the obligation to do the right thing, and he has a new car.
The End
