Chapter 7: Spencer
Empty Musings: Spencer Goes to Space
I'm back Book. Took me longer than I expected. Turns out it was Tosha on the phone, not Genesis, and then Mom called me to supper. Now, where was I?
Er... oh yeah...
Mom had been yapping on the phone to one of her buddies so I figured I'd go pop my eye up to Dad's telescope out front while I waited for her to finish up. I wasn't too interested in looking at the stars; I was more interested if I could see in anybody's bedroom with it. Well, it turns out that someone or something in the stars was pretty interested in looking at me real up close.
So I start screaming and yellin for help as they're trying to suck me up. Mom's been through this; I can't imagine she's want one of her kids to go through it too. Besides, I don't want to end up like Mom.
I mean, I'm just a kid. I know the aliens don't care much whether you're a guy or a gal when it comes to who they pick up and probe, and I know I said I wanted to meet 'em someday, but I'm a bit young to be their latest experiment in parenthood. Aren't I?
Not being real keen on discovering what Mom experienced during her interstellar spin, I begged Charity -- who was freaking out next to Dad's telescope -- to help me out here. And what'd she do?
"Oh gawd! Aliens are running off with my kid brother! I am never going to live this down at school."
Sometimes I really hate my sister.
At least Mom and Cassi had the decency to be concerned about me, rather than worry over how this was going to ruin their social life. But then Mom's been there before, so she kinda understands.
And where's Dad? Well, from what Mom told me after I got back, after I disappeared Dad trotted right over to his telescope to try to see where they were taking me. Sheesh, he could've acted at least a little concerned about what was happening to his son rather than where he was headed.
But you know what they say Book. What goes up, must come down.
I just wish they wouldn't have put me down so dang hard. I'm still picking gravel out of my knees.
I really don't remember much of what happened to me, which I suppose is probably a good thing, considering all the rumors I've heard about what those aliens do to folks on those saucer things. I do vaguely remember hearing some comment about the "specimen being too young". I guess this means I won't be the next pop on the block. *whew* Remind me to stay away from Dad's telescope when I get older.
So I'm real glad to be back in one piece now Book, and doubly glad that I'm not about to become the youngest dad (or would I be the mom?) at Parnassus Academy. Still, I don't think this is something I'm gonna look back at this one day and laugh about it.
I was way too buzzed to sleep after that book, even though I had school in the morning. Unfortunately, every time I tried to do something I kept having flashbacks of my 'unexpected trip'. Mom told me the first day back is the worst and that once I had a good night's sleep I wouldn't get the flashbacks as much. As if I could sleep right now.
But, like it or not, the old school bus pulled up to the front door bright and early, as always. Not like I could really concentrate during class or anything, since I was either having flashbacks from the night before or else I was spacing out and looking around for Genesis. I didn't see her though. Bummer.
Geez, this homework is really starting to pile up. Maybe I can talk Charity into doing some of this. She really likes that studying stuff.
Speaking of Charity, after we got back from class, she said to me "Hey little brother, I've got just the thing to take your mind off your little trip with your spaceman buddies. How about we go try on your new clothes?"
I thought it sounded like a great idea. I was sure my big sis had picked up some kickin' threads that the girls would dig. Boy, was I wrong.
She dressed me in pink. Pink! And she was getting a big laugh about it!
There was only one thing to do, Book...
I'd warned her not to try buying me any pink stuff.
But she didn't listen. She knew this was going to happen if she tried to pull one over on me. What kind of brother would I be if I let her get away with stuff like this?
Charity should really know better. Yeah, I know what you're going to say Book, that one of these days she's going to get even with me. Maybe, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
Besides, I had to let her go finally. Mom yelled up at us, wondering just what the heck was going on and why my sister was making those weird noises. Heh.
Boy, was Charity pissed at me. She swore I'd rubbed a bald spot on the top her head. If I did, I guess she'll just have to find a new hairstyle. You know Book, she sure looks a lot like Mom when she's angry. Remind me never to piss off Mom.
Sis told me she was just fooling with me and that she had picked out a set of 'real clothes' for me when we were shopping yesterday.
Yeah, like I'm going to trust her after she pulled this pink stunt on me.
Okay, so she did pick out some pretty decent threads for me. I guess I'll have to forgive her for dressing me up like a dork or something. I'm not apologizing for the noogie though. She deserved it.
Well Book. I'm gonna wrap things up right here for bit. I'm gonna try to catch me a few Zzzs and hopefully not have any freaky dreams about space aliens or probes or tentacles or anything pink like that. So I'll be back later fill you in on anything new Book.

Spencer is turning out to be quite the fetching lad... but I think he looked good in pink. ;)
Oh good, Spence didn't come back with an additional passenger.
So, where is Genesis?
Wow! Those final duds really make his eyes pop. He's gorgeous.
Totally love his new threads ... and I am RELIEVED that pink monstrosity wasn't it! *shudders ... pink ... shudders* I agree with CeeCee ... those clothes really make his eyes pop out. ;O)
Aliens really do look good in pink... but poor Spencer. I understand him not liking it. I love his hair... all of his styles... he's quite a fetching lad if I do say so myself... and how interesting that he got to have a ride with the aliens....
Real men do wear pink! If it weren't for more alien babies later, I'd feel sorry for Spence.
Poor Spencer had a trip to the aliens. So how many girls does Spencer have? I LOVE his new look. He looks GREAT!
