“I knew it! Aliens are real!” “Really, Sam?” Sometimes Sam is just silly. “Uh, yeah! I have proof,” He argued, not ready to give up. “Oh, really?” He had ‘proof’ a lot of the time. “Sure. But,” He lowered his voice, leaning in. I rolled my eyes. “It’s secret. If I show you, you must swear never to tell anybody!” He waved his hands to emphasize. I groaned. “Yep, I swear,” I said boredly. He always made me swear, probably because he thought that a shaved cow was ‘evidence’ when we were five and I told our parents about it. They couldn’t stop laughing for about twenty minutes. “Good.” He nodded. “Ok, we move tonight, when the sun has been down for two hours,” he whispered. I sighed, tempted to laugh. “Ok, ok, but the aliens might be… awake!” I held my hands up, wiggling my fingers. “Cut that out,” He said grumpily, but I could tell he was trying not to grin.
“Don’t forget! Ten o’clock!” He looked at me anxiously form the front door. I nodded, and he smiled. “See ya,” He called, jogging off down the street.

My parents made sure I wouldn’t get cold or hungry while I was out. I smiled on the inside while mom fussed, making sure my jacket was well zipped. I really had the best parents. They understood about my friend’s obsession, and they figured I should have some reign. And also I have a tendency to play video games all day if I’m not active, which might be a contributing fact. “Goodbye,” I called to them, waving as I jogged off to the edge of the woods. Time to see what bald cows he had found this time.

Time to see what bald cows he had found this time.
“Ok, I’m here.” I called out into the woods, which Sam always hid in at the beginnings of these hunts. “What’s the password,” He called mysteriously. “Get out here, you ninny,” I laughed. He arrived, grinning with twigs sticking out of his hair. “Close enough. Let’s go,” He tugged me along quickly. I tried to hop a lot, so I wouldn’t trip on a root or something and end up on top of him. Soon, he turned to me, pushed a finger against his lips, than grinned mischievously. I was quiet, but was tempted to make funny faces to make him laugh. Soon, the trees started thinning, which was weird since we were in the middle of a wood. But they thinned out, and I realized they looked like they had been broken, the stumps getting shorter as we headed into the clearing. I caught my breath as I stared at the ground, the deep cuts in it unmissable. He looked at me solemnly, pointing to something in the center of the clearing. I stopped breathing for a moment when I saw it, a piece of metal, advanced wiring showing. But not human wiring, or even human metal, no. The thing itself was entirely… Alien.

Oooh, the anticipation! Now I've got two of your stories to camp out on and wait for moar.
