      Chapter 1

      High above planet Earth, just at the edge of its atmosphere, a sleek and gleaming space cruiser loomed against the starry field of outer space, and on the command deck of this cruiser, there stood two alien beings.

      Some of the humans down on Earth had seen the space cruiser. The aliens had technology to conceal their spacecraft, but it wasn’t foolproof, and in fact, the space cruiser had been spotted from Earth no fewer than fifty times that day. It was fully the size of the Empire State Building, and when the invisibility technology wasn’t working right, this spacecraft was hard to miss. And so, all across the country, reports flooded in from people claiming to have spotted a glimmering U.F.O. (which, you surely know, stands for unidentified flying object).

      Mrs. Janet Jellycake of Bugscuffle, Tennessee, called the police and cried, I think there’s a chance that I might have possibly spotted a potential U.F.O., maybe! At least I think so!

      Mr. Hank Highjinks of Grover’s Mill, New Jersey, called the Air Force and in a very stern voice said, Planet Earth is under attack!

      Ms. Wilhelmina Wigglestone of Goose Pimple Junction, Virginia, sent a twenty-minute cell-phone video to her local TV station, but the footage was so shaky and out of focus, it looked more like two kids playing catch with a flashlight on a foggy night in a backyard a mile away.

      Nothing much resulted from these reports. There are U.F.O. reports all the time, all across the world, even when there are no alien spacecraft visiting Earth. Very few authorities ever take them seriously.

      Of course, the aliens in the space cruiser knew nothing about the reports. Then again, they didn’t think of their spaceship as a U.F.O., either. They had no trouble identifying their own flying object. The aliens knew perfectly well what it was and whom it belonged to. It was an Intergalactic Space Traveler Model THX-1138, which was fondly named something that roughly translated into English as the Shiny Vessel that Travels so Smoothly from Star to Star.

      Furthermore, the aliens on board the Shiny Vessel that Travels so Smoothly from Star to Star did not consider themselves aliens. They referred to themselves by their names. The first was called Aaxtchu, which, when properly pronounced, sounds very much like a human sneeze. The other’s name was Brian, which, as it happened, was pronounced more or less like we say it on Earth, with perhaps a slightly stronger emphasis on the i and a little less on the n.

      The point is, Aaxtchu and Brian didn’t think of themselves as alien invaders. Instead, they thought of Earth as an alien planet, a place they happened to be visiting that day, and they considered all of Earth’s humans, animals, and plants as alien lifeforms.

      Compared to the humans down on Earth, Aaxtchu and Brian were very tall. Their arms and legs were long and slender. Their hands resembled that of Earthlings, except their fingers were quite elongated, and each fingertip looked as though it had a big black olive stuck on the end. Their skin was the color of moldy bread, and their eyes looked like enormous black teardrops.

      Aaxtchu and Brian wore long intergalactic robes, which dragged along the deck of the Shiny Vessel that Travels so Smoothly from Star to Star, picking up little bits of dust and litter. The robes were so long, Brian and Aaxtchu appeared to glide across the deck of the spaceship rather than walk.

      The two aliens stood gazing at an enormous monitor, which to be honest was way too big to even be called a monitor. It covered one entire side of the spaceship and was nearly the size of an Earthling football field. And on this immense screen, Aaxtchu regarded our Earth with envious eyes.

      He tapped one bulbous fingertip thoughtfully on his chin. He turned to Brian and said, 'Klaatu barada nikto Earth.

      Brian replied with, "Earth! Bababa dalgh araghtak ammina rronn konn bronn tonn!"

      This was the way they talked. Their language was very different from the languages spoken on Earth, and theirs sounded a bit like the noise of blowing bubbles in milk using a straw, or the sound of walking in thick, deep mud.

      What Aaxtchu said was, After visiting many planets, I have come to the conclusion that this is the best place for us to construct our vacation dwellings.

      Ah, yes, said Brian, "Earth! Perfect distance from the sun, and just a hop, skip, and a light-speed jump from our homeworld. Sounds groovy. Should we fly the Shiny Vessel that Travels so Smoothly from Star to Star down to the planet’s surface and begin planning for construction?"

      Aaxtchu nodded, but then something on the massive monitor caught his large, inky eye, and he grimaced (let’s not even bother to describe what that looked like). He pointed at the monitor and said, Alas, there is a problem!

      What’s up? asked Brian.

      See! This planet’s atmosphere contains oxygen!

      Ah, that’s too bad, said Brian, also grimacing (trust me, you don’t want to know). With all that oxygen, it’d be totally lethal for us to vacation here. Guess we should keep looking, huh?

      Wait a minute, said Aaxtchu. (He didn’t actually say, "Wait a minute, of course, because Aaxtchu and Brian had their own system of time-keeping, in which the closest thing to a minute was called a chronoblip, but wait a minute was essentially what Aaxtchu meant.) Wait a minute, he said, calling up more information on the vast monitor. It appears that Earth’s atmosphere is only twenty-one percent oxygen. That is a relatively small proportion. The rest is mostly nitrogen, with small amounts of other assorted gasses, such as carbon dioxide and neon."

      Ooo, neon! exclaimed Brian. I love the smell of neon in the morning.

      Let us fetch the de-oxygenator! said Aaxtchu, raising one long, black-olive-tipped finger into the air. It will clear the entire atmosphere of the toxic oxygen, and then we may commence the building of our vacation retreat!

      Hey, Aaxtchu, said Brian, gazing at the
