What's the Plan?

Jake's Perspective:

We made it to James' Science Experimentorium. Whatever that means, I don't care. Amongst the group, I saw someone I hadn't met before within the friend group of ours.

"Guys, meet Vanessa Garlin. My new lab assistant! She's new here, so I need you to be nice to her, ok?" Looks like Jamie was really excited to introduce her, but I wasn't in the mood to chat anymore, this was serious.

I couldn't control myself anymore.

"Now is not the freaking time to make more friends around the town, buddy. I'm happy you made a friend, but we can all have a casual chat with a nice cup of tea, LATER. Understand? We're in a existential crisis here and nobody's taking it seriously?"

"Chill, chill man. What is up with'chu today? We were just talkin' to each other to calm ourselves down. Ok?" said Sam, really upset about my sudden temper change. "Sorry man, it's just.. I'm worried about Mom and Dad, really, I am. I need to call them. I'll be right back." As I said that, I took my phone out and moved away from the group for a while.

Jim's Perspective:

Well, poor Jake was really tense, I guess I was too, but I couldn't express it. "Ok, while he talks to Mom and Dad, can you guys explain what the hell is happening right now?" asked James, who obviously didn't know about any of the things I said to the others before. But I did mention the case to Sam when we arrived, so, he SHOULD tell James about it properly, right? (You can probably see where this is going right now.)

"Short story, aliens attacking Earth. And we need to save it." Of course he'd say aliens. What else do you call other-worldly beings from outer space? Of course I'd be pissed off when Sam says that.

"NO! They're not aliens, you idiot. They're also Humans but more advanced than us and from another dimension." "Meh, I think they're aliens bro. You're going too in-depth with this thing man. Can't you just accept the fact that they're aliens?" "For the last time, They. Are. Not. Aliens! Why do you think that I'm going in-depth with this? It's literally written in my Guardian Book."

James tried to break the argument, "Boys, boys, stop barking at each other and focus on the main problem here. We need to make sure that these 'Beings' are never able to reach Earth.

"For that, I've got the perfect plan!", announced Jake as he was coming back after calling home. "How's Mom and Dad doing?" I had to ask, they're my parents too. "Thank God, they're fine. But Mom is still trying to get Dad off the TV, he just wants to see that one PGA Championship." "Even after the scary-ass Screen Guy appearing on our phones and TV's?" "Yeah, he thinks it's a prank. I wonder where he got his brains from, a Yard Sale or a Dumpster. Seriously, what am I gonna do with this guy. Well, I told Mom to destroy that TV if it comes to it. He should get up then."

"Jeez, looks like you both have a determined Dad if you ask me.", remarked James. "Neither of us DID ask you in the first place. And yeah, he is one determined guy when it comes to Golf." , Me and Jake said in Unison.

Jake's Perspective:

"Well people, let me elaborate on my plan. We do have the resources for this right.... James?", I asked with a really huge question mark in my mind.

"Of course! My Science Experimentorium has everything you need to make anything you want. Cars? Boats? Even Rockets? You name it, I got the things to make it!"

"Ooh! Ooh! Can we make a spaceship that can travel at hyperspeed? I would LOVE to ride in one of those!! Pleeeeaasssee???", asked Scarlett. Wow, I didn't know, she knew about the concept of hyperspeed, considering her talking style, which made me think she was a dunce before. But now, she looks like a nerd without glasses. "Uhmmm. Sure....I guess. I'll check my resource storage for that." James was sweating now, I don't think he has the things we need. "Make it a 7 seater too. We ALL need to travel in that thing too, right?" said Jim. "Well, my plan WAS to make a spaceship, but I guess you guys got that covered already. Don't you want to listen to the plan now?" I had to speak up, since these guys were leeching off of my idea now. "Yeah, let's uh.. let's listen to Jake's idea, whatever it might be." , said James(happy that I changed the topic off of him). "Ok, obviously, these guys already know my spaceship idea. We make the thing and then, we fly to the source, and take them out with whatever we can. But before that, since we're going to space, we do need suits."

"What're we? Superheroes now?" asked Veronica. Sarcastic, eh? Well, I got the perfect answer for that. "Yes, we're superheroes now. You up for it or are you chickening out on us?" And then, I started bawking at her. Looks like that made her a bit angry. Great! That's where I was aiming for anyways...

"Ok, you know what? I'll show you. I'm not a CHICKEN! And I'll join you to prove it."

"Sure, I'll be happy to be proved wrong. Anyways, the suits, James?" I asked, gleefully waiting to wear it and pretend to be like Master Chief from Halo. "Well, I'll make sure to do that. But one question, what if Plan A backfires?"

"Then we move on to Plan B." "What's Plan B?"

"Last night, I checked through Jim's telescope and found out there was an asteroid belt near the Ship they're coming in from. If we are under attack by their forces, we can Star Wars this shit and flank 'em. Straight to the belt."

"Oh that's actually a pretty good ide- Wait, hold on. Did you just say you looked through my telescope?" , asked Jim, looking kinda pissed off. "Bro, bro, I have a perfect explaination for it. I was jus-jus-just uhhh...sightseeing?" I had no excuses to make. My brilliant mind couldn't come up with one single excuse. Damn it. "Sightseeing? Really?" Jim's facial expression was just blank. Like he couldn't even comprehend the fact that I would use it for sightseeing. "Ok fine. The telescope looked cool and I wanted to use it, but you would never give it to me when I wanted to take a look. So, I took it in last night to look at the sky, and maybe...use some of it's features too?" "Oh Jake. Sweet, sweet Jake. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'D TAKE MY STUFF, MAN! Just, WOW."

"Will you just shut the hell up and listen to what I have to ask you three about?" , asked Sam. Well, that....was out of nowhere.

"Who's gonna be flying the damn ship?"

Uhhh.....
