This writeup, done for a school project, offers a rare insight into an alien's life. Enjoy.
Waverider37: Thank you for joining me here today.
Alien: It was no problem.
Waverider37: Uhh, thank you.
Waverider37: So, what does it feel like to be called an alien by humankind?
Alien: That is a good question. We have always been different to other species of... of... creature. We have been called different names, depending on the species we meet.
Waverider37: We all are, though, aren't we? Even humans?
Alien: Well, I guess so.
Waverider37: Earlier, I showed you a video clip of our latest Earth technology. Is there anything that your species have invented that we haven't?
Alien: Yes, we have invented flying cups and laser guns.
Waverider37: Laser guns? Cool! Can I have... I mean, shouldn't that be flying saucers, not cups?
Alien: Flying saucers? They're old technology now... I remember back in 1999 we scrapped designs for Saucer `5' and brought in the Flying Cup `1'. Holds many, many more of us and has the latest technology. By 2005 we had one flying cup for every five of us, which allowed much more room.
Waverider37: The year 2005? But this is 2005...
Alien: Yes... I noticed that all the space fleets have problems with time. We came across a fleet of ships who wanted to conquer Jupiter. They thought it was 1066, and they all had safety goggles and face masks. You know, just in case.
Waverider37: Why is it that you aliens want to conquer new worlds?
Alien: Why did Christopher Columbus want to discover America?
Waverider37: He didn't. He wanted to find his way around the world.
Alien: Oh. Well, most of us just want to be famous. Some of us want to be rich and famous. I just want to open up my new fried chicken store universe-wide.
Waverider37: Oh yes? What's it called?
Alien: Get this... Kentucky's Fried Chicken.
Waverider37: You arrived a bit late. It's already opened here.
Alien: Really? Oh, that's going to cost me MILLIONS in advertising...
Waverider37: On a side note, I have heard a rumour that you appeared in Men In Black?
Alien: No, Men In Black 2. I was hired as an extra. I'm the fifth alien from the right in the twenty-fourth scene from the end who was right next to the bright blue alien who first appeared in the original Men In Black.
Waverider37: Erm... yes.
Waverider37: One last question...
Alien: Yes, we do.
Waverider37: Is it true that aliens have telepathic powers?
Alien: Yes, it was.
Waverider37: That was very good.
Alien: It was my pleasure.
Waverider37: Anyway, thank you for this exclusive interview.
