The Alien Hunter and His Alien Faery Queen

At the Little Angels daycare center there were many kids of ages from 3 to 12. These two little ones stood out from the rest.

Tabitha had bright blond pigtails that hung low on her head, dazzling blue eyes, and big rosy cheeks. She was 4 and 3 quarters

Toby had shaggy curly brown hair, pointy elf ears, and golden hazel eyes. He was 5 and a half.

These two were friends.

Though they wouldn't admit it they liked each other.

Mrs. Melanie Stump blew the whistle which meant it was time for the kids to come inside.

"I'll race you to the door." Toby challenged Tabitha. "You're on!" She accepted. "If I win you have to give me your cookies, and if you win I'll give you my cookies. Deal?" Toby said. She nodded. They ran to the door as fast as they could. Toby won. Tabitha frowned as she walked inside and sat down for their before nap time snack. Mrs. Stump stopped Toby to give him his gameboy back. He sat next to her. She slide the cookies over to him, and drank her Apple juice. He felt sort of bad and gave her half her cookies back. "You can have them." He said. "No, Toby you won fair and square you eat them. I'm not that hungry anyway." She said, pushing the cookies back. He took the cookies back and saved them for later.

"Nap time!" Mrs. Stump yelled. Toby groaned, Tabitha trumped over to her sleeping bag, laid it out, and crawled inside. Toby grabbed his, laid it out, crawled inside, and began to 'secretly' play with his gameboy. Mrs. Stump saw it and took it away again. So he was forced to stare at the ceiling. Then he looked over across the room. Tabitha doing the same, staring at the ceiling. Her pretty pigtails across the pillow. 'What was she thinking about?' He could only wonder. She looked over at him, and he quickly looked away at the ceiling. Closing his eyes and going to sleep.

He awoke to Tabitha shaking him awake. "You want to play House with Tiffany and I?" She asked. He said yes. He had nothing better to do.

*the next day*

Tabitha and Toby sat on the swings. "What were you thinking about yesterday?" He asked. "Oh you know, cats, and that game you were playing. What was it?" She asked. "Pokémon." He said. She smiled, "I was daydreaming. Mommy says I do it a lot. I was daydreaming about being a cat but in Pokemon. You know." "So you were like a Meowth or a Skitty?" He asked. "Yeah. If those are cat type Pokémon." She said. He nodded. He pulled out his gameboy and she watched him play.

Later they went inside for their snack and nap. Mrs. Stump took away his gameboy again.

So the next day, Toby knew exactly where Mr and Mrs. Stump kept the sandwich makings, more specifically, the Nutella. "Mrs. Stump, it's too hot outside, may I come in?" He asked. "Yes, but you still can't have your gameboy." She said. He shrugged and came inside.

Later when she went to call the other kids in he grabbed two plastic spoons and the jar of Nutella.

Toby hid them in one of the cabinets of the little plastic house hoping no kid would find it. He innocently walked out the house, and met his friend. "Tabitha." He smiled, tapping her shoulder. "Hm?" She turned around. "After nap we should play House. Just us." He said. She furrowed her brows. "But we need two more people to play House." Toby sighed in frustration. "We'll change the rules. Just us." "But we can't. Who will play mommy and daddy?" She argued. They usually played House with Tiffany and Stephen. They played mom and dad, since they were older and claimed to be getting married soon. What a funny thing to say. Girls are gross... maybe except for Tabitha a little bit. She liked videogames and playing in mud, but she wasn't allowed to anymore because her mom said so. But kissing her like Stephen and Tiffany would be gross. "We will, and your kitty will be our son." Toby compromised. "Fine." She said. "Does that mean we have to... kiss?" She whispered. "Ew,  gross, no way! I just want to show you something." He said. "Good." She said. "Want some of my cookies?" She asked. He sat with her and they shared cookies. "Want some of my Apple juice?" He asked. She nodded and they shared that too.
