In the year 2016, NASA launched a space probe headed to the true south of our globe to investigate and take pictures of an anomalous cloud of space dust.

In 2019, the probe arrived to its destination, after having gone 33000 light years through empty space.

What they found was a large, black mass, void of light in the center of this space dust. The only way the mass was detected was through a special infrared camera, where it saw in the center, there was a large portion of the long, continuous trail of dust missing. This could only mean there was something blocking the view.

After much deliberation, and after the dust was viewed and photographed sufficiently enough to make a decision, the probe was then directed to head to the mass.

Upon getting close enough to tell there was indeed something there, it was filed that the probe had somehow crashed in the middle of a field in Wisconsin. This baffled NASA and was held Top-Secret, and the probe was confiscated, until the information was leaked by an informant that worked with the probe. After officials reviewed the photographs, they decided this was a sister planet of Earth, and that it could harbor life, due to Blue Giant star found holding it in orbit 2,697,000,000 miles away.

The file was named Twin Dragons, and sparked controversy and debates across the globe.

August 19, 2019

"C'mon, get cleaned up. We're not missing another one of Grandma's dinners so you can sit and watch your debates on that planet you're so interested in.", my Dad said from the next room.

Shaving as fast I could, not wanting to miss anymore of the debates than I had to, I washed the razor off after the final stroke. As I closed the mirror, I saw something out of the corner of my eye. A black figure, much taller and bigger than me, almost touching the ceiling. I thought nothing of it I went to my Dad's room.

"You think she'll mention Aunt Karen again? You know Uncle David hates talking about it.", I asked.

"I think she just wants him to admit they split up, and you and I both know David will never admit that.", my Dad said, glancing away from the computer. "Now go dress in something nicer than that."

On the way past the bathroom, I saw it again out of the corner of my eye. A large, hulking figure, standing just outside the shower. I stopped as chills went up my back, and I slowly looked towards it, just before it vanished once more.

"Dad?!", I asked, scared to know what it could be.

"Yeah?", he asked, from his bedroom.

I ran back into his room, trembling at the thought that something was in the house.

"I think something is in the bathroom.", I said, with a shaky voice.

He got up and checked the bathroom, irritated that I would say something so absurd.

"There's nothing in the bathroom. Now go get dressed before I get upset."

As I turned to leave, there it was. A large, gorilla-looking creature, with blue, shiny hair, standing in the door.

I screamed. I've never screamed so hard in my entire life. My dad looked away from his computer, and started screaming even louder than I did.

During the screaming, a small, green ball with only 2 feet and 2 eyes and no bigger than a baseball walks into the room from behind the large creatures foot.

Scared so badly we both can't bring ourselves to do so any longer, we stared wide-eyed at the oversized gorilla creature. It flashed its teeth quickly, more than likely to scare us further, or perhaps to keep us from hollering again.

I bend down to pick up the little green ball to take it hostage, and when I look back up the gorilla man is gone again. I looked down at what's in my hand. It had two bug eyes, and feet attached directly to it, making me wonder how it could even walk.

I looked back at the doorway, and as I did, the gorilla steps back into it, followed by another, shorter one. It gave us a fierce look, and never looked away from my eyes. I looked at the other one, which was doing the same to my father.

I looked back down at what was in my hand, debating if I should just go ahead and kill it.

I looked back up, and right then I heard sirens, and the gorilla man, and what I could only assume was a woman due to height, disappeared right in front of my eyes. I looked down at my hand, and the green ball is gone too, though it felt as thought it was still there.

My father and I rushed outside, panicked. Two white SUV's and a black Crown Victoria come barreling down our drive way. A police officer stepped out of each vehicle, one man in each SUV, a female out of the Crown Victoria, along with one teenager that stepped out of the Crown Victoria as well.

They asked me to go inside while they talk with my dad.

I stood on the other side of the door, trying to listen, but they spoke too quietly.

"Well the phone call is for him, for whatever reason", I hear the female officer say.

"Artemis!", I hear my dad exclaim.

I stepped outside, to be confronted by the female officer. She holds a old, cheap silver phone out and told me, "Listen to it and tell me what you hear."

I put the phone up to my ear. It's Aunt Karen. The one that disappeared 3 years earlier.

"I'm stranded here, and I can't stop dancing."
