In the hours that followed, Elliot and his siblings were questioned extensively. But the aliens would not accept the truth in their response. While one of them was was interrogated, another was being examined.

"I want to go home! I want my Mommy!" Gertie was crying her eyes out as she was strapped down on a white slab with the aliens sticking things into her that caused shocks and other discomforting sensations throughout her body.

"I'm telling you guys the truth, honest I am!" Michael exclaimed in agitation. "E.T., the Brodo Asogian, built a transmitter out of things around our house and he contacted his home and his spaceship came and took him back to it! Why are you all being such lugheads!?"

The alien leader looked at him very fiercely and then called to the ones who were examining Gertie. "That is enough with the female! Do the the tallest one now. I'll see if his brother will be better at responding."

Elliot gulped as he felt his heart race and his spine chill as the alien leader approached him and began questioning him.

"How did you come into contact with the Brodo Asogian in question?" he demanded.

"I found him hiding in my Mom's cornfield five years ago. I was as terrified of him as he was of me. Then the next day I left a trail of Reese's Pieces for him and he followed it to my house and I let him stay with me," Elliot said plainly.

"Then what did you do to him?" the alien leader demanded further.

"I... took care of him. I fed him, and clothed him, and bathed him, and I even let him sleep in my room in the closet," Elliot replied candidly.

"You say you fed him? What did you feed him?" demanded the alien leader.

"I fed him anything he would eat. He seemed to only want fruits and vegatables the most," said Elliot.

"You mean to say you actually fed him your earth food?" the alien leader exclaimed incredulously.

"Well, yes, I did," admitted Elliot weakly. "I couldn't give him anything else really."

"Well, how did he respond to it?" demanded the alien leader.

"I... I don't really know," admitted Elliot meekly. "He seemed to like almost anything I gave him. Although..." He trailed off.

"Go on!" the alien leader demanded as he pointed his extra long nails at Elliot's face.

"He... got sick... really sick... and I didn't know why... and he died," Elliots aid with tears coming into his eyes at the memory.

"You are lying to me again!" shouted the alien leader in a rage.

"No, I'm not!" Elliot said insistently. "He did die! I was there! I saw it! But then... he came back to life again."

"Impossible!" shouted the alien leader.

"But he did! He really truly did!" Elliot shouted back to him.

"Then you are admitting you have been lying to me and you have him hidden somehere on this planet!" the alien leader said furiously.

"No, I don't! He's not here anymore!" Elliot said with his voice ecracking with emotion. "He went back home, as I told you before! We practically risked our lives in getting him safely back to his spaceship!"

The alien leader once again gave him his intense stare of rage and evil that showed he would show him no mercy for telling the truth. He then addressed his followers once again.

"It is now time to begin the examination upon this one. Make sure you especially intense with him as he no doubt has a personal bond with our enemy."

Elliot was helpless as he was then tied down onto the table and and strange objects connect with his midsection. Then all at once he felt as if a sharp knife had been stuck up deep into his private areas. The pain was tremendous for him and he broke down completely as he began screaming, screaming for the only thing he could think of at this moment.

"E.T.! E.T.! Help me!" Elliot then blacked out but the echoes of his cries could be heard from far away as they seem to reach up into the cosmos.

In the meantime as all this was going on, at the house Keys and Mary turned off the TV set. Mary looked at Keys with a concerned expression.

"They're awfully queit upstairs," she said. "I hope nothing is wrong."

"Let's go up and see," said Keys.

They went upsatirs and they checked in all three of the bedrooms only to find them bare. Now they were both extremely worried.

"Where could they possibly be at this hour?" said Mary frantically. "It's past eleven. Do you think we should call the police?"

Keys was about to reply but just then they heard a strange humming noise coming from somewhere.

"Do you hear that?" asked Keys. "It seems to be coming from the roof."

They then went up to the attic where they climbed out of a window and on top of the roof. There they saw a bizarre sight. The transmitter was vibrating crazily and rotating to a new position The keyboard read-out was repeating the same entry: "E.T. HELP ELLIOT SOON".

After they read the message they looked at each other and then Mary let out a feeble yelp as she began to cry realizing what this must mena. Keys wrapped his comforting arm around her and led her gently back into the attic through the window.

"They're in some kind of trouble, I just know it!" she sobbed.

"E.T. is on his way. So I believe all will be well," Keys assured her soothingly.

After they were in the house again they left it and went to their car and headed for the forest clearing.

Inside the aliens spaceship Elliot was now mentally and physically drained. Because he was no longer of any use to them, they carried his limp body to a light cage where Michael and Gertie were already resting.

"Well, now what are we going to do with these pathetic life forms?" asked the leader.

"Well, I'd suggest putting them out of their misery," said the one beside him.

Then suddenly they heard a strange resonating hum throughout the ship, yet it was not coming from within the ship. All the aliens on board froze stiff.

"What is that awful noise?" exclaimed the leader.

"I have a terrible feeling of what it could be!" exclaimed the other one.

Just then a hatch opened up in the forefront of the ship and a pulsating red light filled the room. Elliot was the first to awaken and he saw E.T. standing in the hatchway with his glowing finger raised and his heart light pulsating a powerful radiation of loving energy toward them and the other aliens on board, though instead of filling them with warmth and comfort as it did them, it just seemed to have the same effect on these aliens that their yellow heart light had on the humans.

"You will not harm them, for they are my friends!" E.T. exclaimed.

E.T. advanced toward the human captives and deactivated the light cages with his glowing fingertip. As soon as he was free Elliot embraced E.T. with tears in his eyes.

"Now you must hurry and leave this ship," E.T. said quickly.

"But what about you? Will you be alright?" asked Elliot worriedly.

"Yes, I will. Trust me. I know what to do," E.T. assured him. "Now go."

So then Elliot, Michael and Gertie hurried out of the awful Mothership. Shortly afterward, E.T. came out and once he was safely with them they all watched as the Mothership of the evil aliens acsended into the sky and soon disappeared from view.

"What did you do?" asked Elliot curiously.

"I reprogammed their navigation controls," E.T. explained humbly. "So now they headed to a remote corner of the Universe where they will never harm anything again."

"Well, what I don't understand yet is why were they looking for you?" Elliot asked E.T.. "I mean, what did they want with you?"

E.T. sighed as he lowered his neck. "They were a distant cousin of my species," he explained somberly. "They evolved on the same planet as I did, though they somehwo evolved to a different and worse genus, and so we had to banish them to another far away galaxy. Though they always held a grudge against us for doing so and always threatened they would take back the Green Palnet for their own. I suppose when I sent out my first signals to my home they intercepted them and came here. I am sorry for them to have caused you so much suffering on my account."

Elliot just hugged E.T. tightly in his arms, and then Michael and Gertie joined in it.

It was just then that Mary and Keys arrived on the scene. They rsuhed out of the car and hurried over to them and embraced them all.

"Are you all alright?" asked Mary endlessly. "We saw E.T.'s message on the transmitter and we feared something was wrong."

"Well, something was wrong, Mom," said Elliot. "But everything is better than ever now that my best friend is here again."

"I am afraid I cannot stay, though," said E.T. with regret.

"Oh," said Elliot softly. "Well, will we see each other again?"

"Of course," E.T. assured him. "For I see it in the stars."
