Alrighty! Gots new fun idears. This one is a bit odd but should be fun stuff. All the others are so serious and angsty almost. Leave it to the quirky sense of humor of a cat to come up with this.
It needs some explanation though afore I go into the writing. First off, this is a story gonna be here as much in the 'real world' as possible. 2004 ya know? But, it is about a group visiting here from elsewhere. Basically it's an alien crew stranded on Earth.
They will be of various 'species' if you would so you can make up whatever. But basically they're a lot like the aliens from Lilo and Stich, you know fairly animalistic in appearance. But! It is not a Disney kind thing so they do not have to be all cuddly or what not. ths is just the best example I could think of right now.
Now, this crew is on a mission (Whose objective is yet to be revealed) when thier captain and his first officer go turn coat and betray the fleet. When the crew tries to react the captain immediatly beams them off ship onto a planet they are passing, Earth. This is where the story begins...
Th'n groaned and stood up unsteadily, trying to shake off the effects of a rapid unplanned teleport. Falling into the grass he covered his head with his hands trying to clear away the fuzzyness.
"That...was not good." Finally able to stand he did a quick check. Breathing in deeply and finding no broken ribs, cracking his neck where there was no major damage, flicking his tail to see it wasn't spranged and finally beating his wings to see they too were in check.
Th'n was a large lion like creature, resembling one in almost everyway except for his wings. These were soft grey and brown and mottled like a sparrows.
Satisfied that he was uninjured he began to take in his surroundings. He appeared to be in a forest, trees grass and even a pond. But, it was well kept, too groomed. Turning his head upwards he gasped, "Wow..." Tall building stretched up above the trees like slender fingers, piercing the sky and placing him in an unexpected situation.
Gaping he stepped backwards and was startled by a small squeak. Turning around and looking down he saw a small mouse like creature wading through the grass. "Nexus?"
Quickly he dropped down and began to check over the small creature who shoved his hands away.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. Where are we? And where's everyone else?"
"I...don't know." Th'n answered, looking up once again.
((Note, the aliens speech will be in purple until they figure things out. What fun is it for them to know right away right? ;D ))

Sheen spluttered. Somehting was under her chin and spraying her with water! The Chink chink sound it made only served to further annoy her.
Water! Gah! She stood up and batted a bead off her chin. Sheen was a Toroxian...humanoid panthers pretty much. She was sleek with pitch black fur, except around her eyes. Gold fur swirled in patches around each brown eye and her tail twitched in annoyance. She was the pilot first class of the Zaneer...and now stranded...
She eyed the contraption she had landed on with distaste. An automated watering device of some kind...then her fur stood on end as there was a squeek behind her. She whirled, expected other team mates...
...to come face to face with the ugliest furless beast she had ever seen.
Terri stepped back in fright. This...thing...had appeared in her garden when she was reading...but it stood on it's feet...She swallowed "Are you alright?"
It's trying to talk...Sheen noted. You...creature, where are my crew mates?
"Eek!" it talked! Kinda...OKay, get ahold of yourself... "Umm...I can't understand you...do you...uh...want a towel?" please don't eat me
Sheen sighed. She wanted her crew mates...

Th'n began to walk down a path he had found through the strange forest. Nexus rested on his head, surveying the area and working on figuring things out.
"I was just about to tell the captain we were way off course too..." he muttered.
Th'n growled at the mention of the captain, rounding a corner of a flower bed. He froze, nearly running over a strange creature who was also using the path. The two stared at eachother in fright. "Um...he...hello?" Th'n managed, but to the humans ears it sounded like a growl.
She screamed and so did he, each darting away in opposite directions. Th'n dived behind a bush near trash can and the woman dissappeared. "What the hell was that?!" he exclaimed.
"Well, judging from her appearance and scream I believe it was a human female." Nexus replied.
"A what?"
"An earthling, we are on Earth."
"You got all that from her appearance and scream?"
Nexus nodded, "Well that and this piece of paper I found lying in this rubbish heap. See." He showed Th'n the paper, "Hot NY babes. Best booty on Earth, Friday night no cover charge."
"You can read that?"
"Mostly, I've had some aquantance with the literature and languages of this planet. A bit crude but I think I can piece together enough if we happen to make contact with a non-screaming one."

Terri nervously went inside to get a towel...as she came back out she noticed something. It helped her relax...she...for it was most obviously a she...was just a big cat...kinda cute even..."Here you go!"
Sheen blinked at the odd creature and accepted the scrap of cloth. Which was employed forthwith to dry herself. Thank you
Terri smiled and couldn't help herself...she reached out to touch the fur on her arm..."Hey..that's nice..."
Sheen twitched..the creature was stroking her arm! Very few had that privelage...she backed away...I'm on a srtange world and the wildlife is cozying up to me! she backed herself right to the wooden fence and screamed. "Anyone nearby? Please? HELP!"
Terri blinked...she'd upset her...maybe some milk would help?

It was ten minutes before the two finally crept out from the brush and after making sure the woman was gone continued thier walk and survey of the area. Arriving at the pond they found a small group of ducks sleeping in the reeds.
Relief washed over them as they approached, "Hey!" Th'n said warmly, raising a hand in greeting, "Am I glad to see...you...guys?" he titled his head curiously as the ducks looked at him oddly.
"I don't think they are amongst us," Nexus observed. He was studying several scraps of paper he had found, mainly old flyers and discarded wrappers while Th'n spoke to the ducks.
"I am Th'n," the cat said slowly, dropping down to all fours to put himself more on thier level, "We, are lost. Stranded. Can you help?" A large white duck stood up, waddling over and staring at the creature curiously. With a quack it reached out and bit his nose. "OWWW!! Why you!!!"
With a roar he began to chase the birds. Nexus watched in amusement then spotted a figure lying in the grass nearby. Cautiously appraoching he recognized it as a human male. Older, somewhat scragily and unconcious.
"Um...*ahem*" Nexus coughed and the grizzled bum slowly blinked awake. Rolling over he looked down at the mouse and grinned lopsididly. Taking the look as a friendly greeting Nexus tried to comunicate, "Uh...hello..." he looked down at the papers, "Homey."
"What's up little dude?" the hobo grinned, gaped teeth stained as his foul breath wrapped around the small mouse.
Nexus coughed but continued, "I am a visitor here and need some..." he frowned, looking at the papers and searching for the proper word. A brown label whose first letters looked appealing and familiar so he sounded out the word, "He...he...heineken? I need heineken." He smiled, looking at the man expectantly and hoping he could provide the help he needed.
"OH! Sure man sure, here have a snort." With dirty hands he extracted a bottle and handed the cap to the mouse. "Just don't drain it all man, I need..." he trailed off, rolling over and falling asleep again.
Puzzled but curious Nexus sniffed the cap and sampled the liquid, instantly choking. With an angry sigh he tramped away from the sleeping bum.

Suddenly, a large figure loomed up behind Nexus, it's shadow revealing that it stood on six legs: three on each side. From the waist down, it was almost crustacean...much like a huge crab or lobster, but the upper half of it's body was hugely muscled, coated in a deep golden fur...and had two heads, both of which were arguing at the moment.
I tell you, he can't be tasty! EArthlings just aren't!
Oh, sure! Like you'd know. Have you ever even tried one?!
Of course not, but that doesn't mean you can!

Nexus spotted the shadow then turned around quickly letting out a startled squeak. "Geez! You guys scared me!" he muttered, holding a small hand to his chest. "Where have you been? Do you know where anyone else is?"

We were looking for all of you, but then he had to try and eat an Earthling.
I already told you, I was just going to taste him!
Riiiiight. Anyway, we haven't seen anyone else...

"Well don't," Nexus ordered, "We have no idea how long we'll be here and don't need any trouble with the locals. Speaking of which..." He looked around, searching for Th'n. There was a great splash and roar.
Walking back to the pond Nexus saw Th'n dragging himself out, a few feathers sticking out from his mouth.

He's wet...
Really? Thank you, Captain Obvious.
Why did he get to land in the water?

"We actually landed in the grass over there. He's just been disturbing the locals as well..." he glared at Th'n who shrugged and burbed up a couple feathers.
"Well that brings three of us together, shall we begin the search for others?"

I hate my life. muttered Klocken.
he was from the planet Tooken. he stood on four feet, and sparkled. in truth his outward appearnce was a sham. he was a Crystollian. his people had been warring with the other species on his home planet since their begginings. he was already excommunicated from he people becaue he assosiated with "Meat-Bags."
he was suprisingly humble for a silicon based life-form.
he looked around and saw a creature wearing a form of clothing. he instantly rearranged his shap to mimic it. he also adjusted his babble fish to be able to speak his language. it kept yelling about the conveinces rolling by. he didnt care. he troted along, now on forlegs, with what appeared to be fur. he still sparkled. he was the worlds only diamond corgi.

Sheen breathed a sigh of relief as the biped left...now she just had to orient herself...
All to soon, the biped was back..with a bowl? She sniffed. It smelled like a prtein and calcium derivative...and then her stomach rumbled. She acceptred the bowl and grimaced at the taste...but when in her condition you ate or drank what your body demanded...
Terri sighed and smiled as the cat relaxed. Milk had worked!!! "So...Uh...I guess we should get you inside..."

I guess so... his left head replied, frowning, while the other grinned.
Do you think they'll let me taste a human? the right head asked.

Nexus shook his head and turned to Th'n, climbing back to his perch on top of the cat's head. "Come on, we gotta find the others. Who knows what they might be getting into."
They began to leave the park, headed for the tall buildings in the distance.
