Tasi leads you along the chain link fence that surrounds the airport. She seems strangely eager, given that you’ve had to carry her before. You cross over a narrow, marshy ditch, and continue through a break in the fence to the back of the runways.

“I think it landed over here somewhere,” Tasi says, rushing as you try to keep up. “Come on!”

“Slow down, Tasi, they might not be friendly!” Lolo cries, but Tasi rushes ahead anyway.

You all make it around the corner, when suddenly you see a huge flying saucer flashing with bright lights, some of them in colors you didn’t even know existed.

You notice that Tasi has run onto a long ramp that has been extended from the massive craft to the ground. She looks tiny next to the huge, glowing object.

“Come back!” Lolo cries. “The aliens are going to get you!”

“We aren’t going to get you,” Tasi say. “We already have you!”

To your astonishment, Tasi transforms into an alien as other aliens emerge from the craft and head toward you. They are gray all over, and have scowling faces on their big, bulbous heads.

“I never wanted to find that pet shop anyway,” Tasi explains. “That place imprisoned me and stopped me from accomplishing my mission. Now, capturing you three is better than I ever planned and will make up for all the trouble that the pet shop has caused me!

“We aren't going with you,” you say.

“What‘s going to stop us?” Tasi asks. “You? A little chihuahua? A singing dog?”

Right then, Lolo and Singer burst out in the loudest howls you’ve ever heard. The aliens pause and cover their ears. Just then, a huge crash shakes the ground, and knocks you off your feet as the pet shop lands on the flying saucer, demolishing it.

The pet shop owner emerges and recites a spell that turns all of the aliens into puppies. He puts a leash on each one, and carrying Tasi under his arm, smiles at you as he retreats into the pet shop. Within moments, the pet shop lifts off, and flies away until it disappears into the sky.

As you sit on the ground looking up in amazement, Singer and Lolo approach you with tails wagging, and begin to lick your hands and face. You take the two puppies home, and look forward to telling anyone that will listen about your alien encounter and the flying pet shop.
