"Let me shake your hand" Homer replied. The Grey nodded.
"I am going to release you so you can do so, provided you dont try to run,"
Homer nodded and instantly he was able to move. He swung his legs over so his feet were on the cold floor. The Grey looked at him, blinked, and
slowly held out its hand. Homer reached out and grasped the alien's hand. It was cool and smooth. He shook it gently and released it, letting his arm
drop to its side.
He just stood there in utter amazement. Here was the being he DREAMED about meeting ALL his life! The only question he had in life has been
answered. We are NOT alone.
The Grey chuckled in his head again.
"I believe that in your species, its considered rude to stare," it said amusingly. Quickly Homer snapped
out of his fugue.
"Why...why are you here? Why am I here?" he asked?
"You have been summoned," was the reply.
"By whom? Why? Where?" Homer questioned. Again the Grey chuckled lightly.
"All in due time Homer. But let me bring you to your son, hes waiting for you," came the reply.
Homer nodded and followed the being out of the room he was in and into another room where Zack was sitting at a table with a computer molded inside
it, playing what looked like some kind of game. Zack looked up, saw his father and smiled. "Hi Dad,"
"Are you okay?" Homer asked.
"Yes, the aliens are cool, they are letting me play a game, look!" Zack then proceeded to show his father the game he was playing.
After watching for a few minutes, Homer turned back to the Grey that escorted him. "Okay, now I want the SITREP. Where are we going and why? And who
summoned me?"
"You did," came the reply.
"ME??? What the hell are you talking about?" was the shocked answer.
"You questioned all your life about beings like myself. You have looked up at the night sky, asking us to come see you. We have answered. We are
here. We have ALWAYS been here. Your species are our children. We love you like you love your son" the Grey gestured toward Zack.
"You created us? Is that all true?" He asked. He didnt know if he could be anymore shocked with the revelation.
"We have nurtured your species. We have helped you when you needed help. We have picked you up when you stumbled," was the enigmatic reply.
Homer walked over to a window that showed the craft they were on was moving fast thru the stars. As he was out of Zack's earshot, he turned fast
toward the Grey, his hands forming into fists and taking a step toward the Grey, who held its ground.
"Now that you have us, what are you going to do?" He growled low so only the Grey can hear him. "Are you going to probe us, experiment on us or hurt
us? Are we your slaves or mid flight snack? If you THINK thats gonna happen, you better believe you have a fight on your hands!"
This time he heard laughter in his head.
"To quote a movie you have seen about us called Paul, what are we going to learn from an ass? Farts? No,
we arent going to hurt you or your son. You are simply passengers," the laughter died down in his head.
"Just making sure we are on the same page. So, now, where are you taking us?"
"To join them, of course,"
"Them? Who's them?"
"The others of like minds. You have thought about meeting them for a long time. We are bringing you to them. You honored us with your tattoo, we
will honor you,"
Homer sat there stunned. The only folk he knew of a like mind were the folks on Above Top Secret! And He was going to go see them!
After about another hour, the craft slowed down and went thru some kind of wormhole in space. When they emerged, they were over a planet that looked
JUST like Earth!
The craft dived down toward the planet, skimming the ground at a lightning speed til the came to a mountain range. The Craft's pilots swung the
craft up and over the mountains, dropping them into a lush green valley. As the approached a house in the valley, Homer spotted people all standing
around talking, some looking up and pointing to their craft. Homer noticed off to one side someone TRYING to cook on a grill, and only producing large
amounts of black smoke. As the ship came to a hover and landed, the Grey came back to
homer.
"Its time. Farewell Homer,"
"Take care and thank you. Zack, lets go!"
The Grey led them out of the room and into a curved corridor, and to a ramp. Homer looked back at the Grey, smiled, nodded and guided Zack down the
ramp following him. As they stepped off the ramp, it drew back into the disc and it took off silently.
Homer looked around. He saw strange faces, but he knew them all!! Somehow, he knew each person there! TrueBrit, TDawg (who was cremating everything on
the grill), Night Star, Rodimus, Cody, Beezzer, Tsu, Gordi, CrappieKat, Destinyone, everyone!
One woman stepped out and smiled at Homer, and held out her arms. "Homer, welcome home!!!" She said.
It was Jacygirl!
He was amongst his dear friends. After he introduced everyone to Zack, he walked up to TDawg, took the BBQ tines and spatula from him, and gently
moved him aside and attempted to save the grilling meats.
Homer was Home!
