Adoption and aliens.

Another catch up entry.

October 29th.

Okay, so there are lots of gaps here to cover. Big deal. Let me get you caught up. First of all, those aliens that have shown up are still out there. But... their plans seem to have changed since we blew up their probe droids and the big machine that they planned to use on Chester. Does that mean that Dog Boy is outta their nabbing list? No! They still hope to use that big monster thing to kill my family. But the aliens have a different plan to take over this world. Since Bella Dawna is gone now, she left the planet after Uncle Donnie found out she was hiding in our sewer house. She did help me learn more about my new super power. I can transfer a recent memory into someone else's mind and allow that person to see and hear everything I did while I had my Mind Sight activated. It drops my energy levels to the point where I pass out, and the normal Mind Sight thing always leaves me with a lot of pain in the head, but at least it's insightful.

The aliens had to brainstorm for a new plan to take over the planet. And they seem to have canceled their deal with those big scary dinosaur men. They have been doing things differently now. Politics. That seems to be their new plan. Make the humans like them, have the human population choose them for the government offices and then maybe make us mutants illegal or something. How? Hey, don't ask me! I have no clue how this whole government thing works. All I know about it is that humans hate to vote on things unless they have to do it. Then they just get it over with as quickly as they're can. With the seat for state governor up for grabs, who knows what might happen! Chester is sure his father will once again be the governor of the state. Since those aliens are blending into the human world better then ever, they've become part of society now. Unless you know what to look for, you can't tell an alien brain squid from a real human. But... only the grownups are being impersonated by these aliens. Strange. You would think that they had to try to make the kids of the world vote too. Or at least influence their young minds. But the aliens are sure this plan will work.

Uncle Leo is planning to leave for the month of November. Says he has lots of things to do out west. With my birthday only a few days away, I do hope he can stay a little longer. But... such is life with him. One month here and another month out west. It's better then what life was like before he came to help Papa raise me.

Nina has been sick with chickenpox over the last few days. I took cookies to her as a get well gift a few days ago. She doesn't look bad at all. A light rash, to be sure. She keeps telling me I could catch the sickness from her. While I was there yesterday, she forgot to tell me that her uncle was visiting. He came out of the house with a sack and a knife in his hand. I thought he was a killer and rushed to rescue her. Turns out her uncle was just throwing away pumpkin guts and forgot he had a carving knife in his hand. At least Nina knows that I would go to any lengths to keep her safe. She says she has a birthday gift for me and made me promise to go to her haunted house on my birthday to get it. This makes me a bit nervous. I'm not a big lover of scary things. Never thought of going to a haunted house before. With Papa at my side and Mo Mo for comfort, maybe the scare factor won't be as bad. Papa always goes trick or treating with me. This year Milo gets to join us!

Uncle Donnie has been working extra hard lately on the latest thing he has found about the aliens. He calls them Brain Worms. But these ones look different from the ones he worked on before. He showed me the worms and boy! Talk about something outta a horror movie!! He is trying to find a way to kill them without causing whoever they happen to be inside of any bad problems. So far, his only subject for inside testing is a huge mutant turtle named Slash. The poor guy was infected with those brain worm things. The aliens put those bugs into Slash's head a few weeks ago. Just, don't ask me how they did it. I don't know. But the worms make Slash violent, sick, foamy and he gets a lot of painful headaches. Uncle Donnie is working hard to help Slash get better. But... with his working habits, I'm worried that Uncle Donnie might work himself into an early grave! He needs a break. So, I told him he had better take one on my birthday. Then he can focus on something that isn't working. He promised me that he would take my birthday off of all work. Even video game programming. That's a big promise.

Uncle Raph has been teaching Chester and Milo in his spare time. Lots of basic skills. And I get to work on that with them. Boring, but somehow good for me. I can work on better form. Slow katas are good for that kinda thing. But Uncle Raph has also been very busy with work and other things. He is concerned about Slash. Slash was a former pet of his. Strange, how can a huge turtle mutant be a pet to anyone? Especially when that turtle mutant has a mind of his own. But, if Uncle Raph says that he was a pet owner, I believe him. He never lied to me before. Chester goes to a public school, and Uncle Raph brings him home every evening. They meet up in a coffee shop just across the street from where the school is. Chester came back to the apartment house yesterday full of excitement. So much excitement in fact that he jumped on my bed, when I was sleeping. He scared the shell outta me and I had to stop myself from ending his life. Granted, he wouldn't have really died. A dull wooden practice knife is hardly classed as a deadly weapon. But you should've heard that dog boy scream! Kinda made the whole thing worth it for me. What was the excitement about? A costume contest at the school. He wants me to help him find a costume in the shops. Homemade ones are how I do trick or treat. And this late in the month, a costume is hard to get. Especially in a crowded city like New York.

Well, that's basically what's going on now. I think I covered everything. Milo is still being adopted but the process is coming to an end soon. I'm gonna be his big brother. Hope I can be the best one he ever had. Anyway, I better get some sleep. It's late and I got things to do tomorrow. Uncle Leo promised to take Milo and I to the beach tomorrow. I need a good night's sleep if I wanna play in the sand then! G'night!
