Chapter 3: His ship which had crash landed nearby.

by: Dima

You push past the gate of your backyard to trail along behind Squawg after hurdling himself over the ledge with ease and finesse that contradicted what he could do with that over sized melon of a head bobbing about as he ran along side the house with it's over grown foliage proving to stall the green little alien a bit for your to hobble behind, wishing you had put on some kind of flip flop of slippers due to the sting of the little rocks jabbing your foots underside along with the creeping squash of the over saturated mud splashing against your skin while exerting your strength to brush aside the taller bushes teeming with god knows how many spiders or bugs resting in the night.

Huffing and wincing so fast from your belly jostling between the heavy awkward thuds from having to jump over the bulged roots of the tree's as Squawg drags you alone through the small protected forest pocketing the spaces between the neighborhoods leaving your nostrils to inhale the rich fresh mildew of the leaves and ground and the bitter pinch of...sulfurous smoke as you cry out to Squawg, ""W-wait...wait!? Where are we gooooooiiinnng!?" You holler out to the backside of your companion as he simple raises his large hand and waves it forward.

"There! There, Ship there!" He shouts out in his gargled speech from his vocals not being used to more tones and nasal sounds of the human language as his tries to push the foliage away enough to make the path clearer for you, but the gesture is lost as your chubby cheeks flush from the rush of blood and discomforting sweat while squawg lets out an excited ear stinging screech. "Here here!...Worse than thought!?" He shouts upon leaping over a bush leaving you to catch up a bit to the trail of strong sulfurous smoke and a bit of lumination from a glowing light, stumbling along the root rich ground before bursting out into the open space filled with the dim blue light leaving you stunned and staggered in shock...and awe.

Before you is the 90 degree angled saucer of Squawg partially buried in the earthen mud with most of it's lights dim of flickering off and it's wide...strange jet like thrusters puffing out the remnants of smoke and vapor while it's round silver and bronze material shape lays dents and pot holed from it's rough impact with it's notable hole being the large inward puncture the size of a SUV in its broadside with another hole being the detach from the escape pod that Squawg rode on down with...amazed as even in it's damaged state the ship still looked advanced and sleek where it isn't dinged while Squawg ran laps around it. "Found it, found it! b-but no good, fly possible, no!" He shouts and stops in front of you with his big dark eyes glistening with joy while waving his hands to get your attention. "Friend, friend we fix, fix, squawg stay till fix!" He shouts.

However, you remained staggered till your eyes slowly dragged down to his face, "U-uh...a lot of questions, s-so many questions dude uhm..." You stammer as he nods, rather willing to entertain the idea of questions as you dragged your eyes along the ships surface noticing the large bubble top cockpit colored in a way to appear flat from some perspective. "How....how did this even happen dude?" You ask as he looks over at the ship and taps on his chin(?) before responding sorrowfully.

"Ship pass, looking visit earth, meet human, have good time, rock big evade shield..." He says, trying to think of a better way to explain it, "Puncture haul, engine stop working and free fall on earth, squawg drop, no want die" He says shaking his head along with his finger before pointing at the exit hole from the escape pod. "Meet friend, meet you!, you help squawg!" He says, brightening up once again which makes your body jerk.

"Uh, I-I don't know a damn thing about cars, bikes, let alone freaking alien ships!...also that had to be a big fucking ROCK" You say emphasizing with some doubt thinking some kind of observatory would make an asteroid big enough to knock a ship out of orbit known for people to check out...but Squawg keeps his smile and nods.

"Yeah yeah! Big, big like plasma!...you help, show squawg how be human, live like human, gather material to build ship..look look!" He shouts and grabs your wrist needing little strength to even tug you along along the scorched mud around the ship with a heavy bob and lean of your body to peer inside the big gaping hole on the ships side. "Burn like plasma, scare squawg bad!"he says while you jerk back again seeing the searing molten red metal drip down through the hole that barely punctures through the other side exposing much of it's halted mechanical bits and open compartment where squawg would probably be moving through.

"Cripes!?..h-how in the hell are you gonna fix this?" You ask as squawg lets go of your wrist to carefully climb inside, mumbling some strange sounds before climbing further into the hole before seeing his green head and tush trying to slip on into the compartment of his own ship while his voice echoes. "Easy...not easy hard, really hard but doable! Squawg find material, fix but need friend help...again!" He says as you let out a sigh of frustration before looking over the ship again till the loud thud of a metal toaster like object comes flying out sending you jumping back before a few more objects are tossed out from metallic tubes to what looks like equipment and collars with a few silver ad black rubber suits being tossed out before he comes squirming on out with with a head band like object hanging off his wrist, a necklace with a little glowing control like appearance and what looks like legitimate car keys as he hopes up to you with glee. "So help?"

He says, leaving you a bit staggered but not too staggered as you did offer your help to him...even if the situation is beyond fucking insane by any circumstance as your eyes glances at the ship again with it's engine puffing out one last plume of smoke as you run both your hands along the sides of your head. "Gaaaaah fuck man...o-okay I guess...I mean I don't want to know what will happen if I say no but i'll help you get uh a disguise...yeah? a-also what the heck do you have?" you ask while thinking of what kind of disguise he needs...and how goofy it'd look to see squawgs tiny frame sporting a rain coat and fedora.

"Oh! key, cloak ship while fix! Necklace phone, this?" He lifts up his wrist to dangle the head band like object. "This for you, if want disguise with squawg, yeah yeah!" He says with a bit of a bounce to his feet.
