The Space Fart Collectors
When a strange spaceship crash-lands in Milo’s backyard, he meets a group of silly aliens on a very unusual mission—to collect the funniest fuel in the universe.
One quiet night, while the town was fast asleep, something bright streaked across the sky.
It spun.
It wobbled.
And then—
PFFFFRRT!
Instead of a loud crash, a very strange sound echoed through Milo’s backyard.
Milo, who had just been walking past the living room, froze.
“That did NOT sound like thunder,” he said.
Curious (and a little nervous), Milo slowly stepped outside.
In the middle of his backyard sat a glowing spaceship.
And it smelled… unusual.
The door creaked open.
Out stepped three very strange visitors.
The first one stood tall and saluted.
“Captain’s log!
A small floating alien beeped beside him.
“Correction — Earth smells fantastic!”
A wobbly jelly-like alien sniffed the air happily.
“Mmm… tangy!”
Milo blinked.
“Aliens?!
He quickly hid behind a flowerpot.
“…Hi?”
The tall alien smiled.
“Greetings, Earthling!
The other alien waved.
“I’m Bloop!
The wobbly alien jiggled proudly.
“And I’m Gloob!
Milo laughed nervously.
“You guys are… weird.”
Zog nodded proudly.
“Thank you!
Bloop beeped.
“He means peace.
Milo wasn’t sure if he should run… hide… or offer them soap.
Before he could decide, Zog opened a shiny box filled with empty glowing jars.
“We need your help,” Zog said.
“Our ship runs on a very special kind of fuel.”
Milo leaned closer.
“What kind of fuel?”
Bloop beeped happily.
“Tiny bursts of air energy!”
Milo blinked.
“…You mean toots?”
” said Gloob.
“The best power in the galaxy!”
Milo burst out laughing.
“That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard!”
Just then, Milo had an idea.
“My dog Pickles can help,” he said.
“He’s… very talented.”
Pickles trotted over curiously.
The aliens watched closely.
Pickles sniffed the air.
Then—
PFFT!
The machine beeped loudly.
“300% power detected!”
Zog gasped.
“Incredible!
The spaceship lights flickered brighter.
” Milo said excitedly.
Soon they were sneaking around the neighborhood with glowing jars.
They collected silly sounds from everywhere.
From frogs by the pond.
From cows in the field.
Even from squeaky old bus wheels.
Bloop beeped rapidly.
“Strong energy detected!”
Gloob wobbled happily.
“Delicious power!”
Then suddenly—
A glowing green cloud floated into the sky.
” Milo shouted.
They chased the wiggly cloud through the night.
It bounced past trees.
Swirled over rooftops.
And drifted straight into the town square.
Just as they reached it—
POP!
A balloon bumped the cloud.
KA-POOF!
Green sparkles burst everywhere.
Bloop blinked.
“Unexpected… celebration!”
Everyone laughed.
But back at the spaceship, something wasn’t right.
The tanks were glowing bright red.
” Zog shouted.
“Maximum power reached!”
Milo’s eyes widened.
“That’s not good, right?”
The ship began to shake.
Rumble…
Bubble…
PFFFFFRT-BLAAAAARP!
Suddenly—
WHOOSH!
A giant burst of energy launched the spaceship straight into the sky!
Zog saluted proudly.
“Mission complete!”
Gloob wiggled happily.
“And it smells like victory!”
In seconds, the spaceship disappeared among the stars.
Milo stood quietly in his backyard.
Above him, a glowing green cloud drifted across the sky.
It curved into a big, silly smile.
Milo grinned.
“Best night ever.”
Pickles barked proudly.
Far away in space, the spaceship floated happily.
“Next stop,” Bloop announced.
“Planet Burrito!”
Zog raised his jar.
“Prepare for maximum collection!”
And the Space Fart Collectors giggled all the way through the stars.
