Signs

Gidget: Hey Duke, if mom & dad are now aliens, what do

you think happened to the real Mom & Dad?

Duke: I don't know Gidget, I'm still trying to figure that out.

Gidget: Well what do you think they're doing here?

Duke: I'm not real sure about that either, but I have an idea.

Gidget: Well what is it?

Duke: I think they might be here to make money.

Gidget: Huh? You think they're capitalist aliens?

Duke: Remember a while back when they took a bunch

of our stuff and put it out in the driveway?

Gidget: I sure do. We got locked inside all weekend.

Duke: It turns out they were selling that stuff for money.

Gidget: Really? They were selling our stuff?

Duke: Yep. And then I saw something else.......

Gidget: What? What else did you see?

Duke: It was........very disturbing.....

Gidget: More disturbing than aliens stealing our

existence? More disturbing than Rocky The Bird

suddenly disappearing? More disturbing than The

Crazy Man Who Lives Next Door stealing all our stuff?

Duke: Yes Gidget, it's more disturbing
than all of that.

Gidget: OK. Well maybe I don't want
to know about it then.....

Strangers

Gidget: Hey Duke, did you see the comment that

The Crazy Man Who Lives Next Door left?

Duke: Yep Gidget, I sure did.

Gidget: Well I'm starting to think you might be right.

Maybe The Crazy Man did have something to do with

...........The Incident.

Duke: I told you so. But I don't think he could have

been working alone. He is not that smart.

Gidget: You think he had help? From who?

Duke: I'm starting to suspect our Humans are the

brains behind this whole operation.

Gidget: You mean Mom & Dad? Why do you think

they had something to do with it?

Duke: Because something is just not right with them.

They have been acting very strange lately.

Gidget: What do you mean?

Duke: Well do you remember how they used to

leave in the morning, be gone all day, then come

home at night?

Gidget: I sure do. We would jump all over them

when they got home.

Duke: Well have you noticed that they don't leave

in the morning anymore? They are here all day now.

And when they do leave, it's only for a short while.

Gidget: Well I like that they are here more often now.

Duke: I would like it too. If I was sure that they are

really Mom & Dad.

Gidget: You don't think they are really Mom & Dad?

Well who could they be?

Duke: I think they might be..........Aliens!

Gidget: Whoa! Really? You mean like, from Mexico?

.......The Incident

Gidget : Hey Duke, do you think we will ever get

our existences back?

Duke : I don't know Gidget, but I sure hope so.

Gidget : Well where do you think they went?

Duke : Who knows Gidget? All I know is that we

went to The Crazy Man Who Lives Next Door's house

for a couple days, and when we got back, they were gone.

Gidget : Well maybe we just misplaced them.....

Duke : If they were misplaced we would have found

them by now. I have searched everywhere and there

is no sign that we ever lived here. All our smells are

gone. The pee stain in the corner vanished. The

scratches on the wall next to the door disappeared.

Everything in this house is different.

Gidget : Our little doggy beds were still here.

Duke: But that's about the only thing that didn't

change. Everything else did. And then, things

started getting REALLY weird.....

Gidget : That sure is a weird picture of us.

Duke : I know. It's supposed to add to the whole

mystery thing.

Gidget : Well it's freakin' me out dude!

Happy Birthday Gidget

We interrupt our regularly scheduled (but somewhat confusing)

storyline for this important announcement.

Happy 7th Birthday Gidget!

Innocence LOST

Gidget: I don't know Duke. I can't imagine The Crazy Man

Who Lives Next Door having anything to do with......

......"The Incident".

Duke: I don't know either Gidget, but he seems like a pretty

shady character if you ask me.

Gidget: No way dude. And if he did have something to do

with it he must have had a really good reason.

Duke: Do you even remember ........"The Incident" Gidget?

How could there possibly be a good reason for that?

Gidget: Well maybe I don't totally remember it.....

Duke: How could you forget about the day that our entire

existence was erased?

Gidget: Oh yeah I remember now. I hate having my

existence erased........

The Swing

Gidget: Do you think we might disappear someday Duke?

Duke: You never know. Stranger things have happened.

Gidget: Oh really? Like what?

Duke: Oh never mind. It's just an expression. But don't

you think it's weird how many little "trips" we have been

taking? To Grandma's house, to The Crazy Man Who Lives

Next Door's house......

Gidget: Oh I love going to The Crazy Man Who Lives Next

Door's house......

Duke: And when we get back, things are different.....

Gidget: I said I LOVE going to The Crazy Man Who Lives

Next Door's house.....

Duke: And what about how often we are getting locked

outside now. New people are always coming over and

we get thrown into the backyard......

Gidget: Didn't you hear me? I said I LOVE going to

The Crazy Man Who Lives Next Door's house.

Look, here's a picture of me there.

Gidget: That's me with Michael.

AKA Bubba.

AKA The Crazy Boy Who Lives Next Door.

Duke: Cute Picture. Hey that swing you guys are sitting

on looks familiar.....

Gidget: Yeah, we do look cute together.....

Duke: The swing. I'd swear it is the same one that used

to be in our backyard......

Gidget: Do you think it moved to The Crazy Man's house

during ......."The Incident"....?

Duke: I don't know Gidget. Perhaps a better question

might be did "The Crazy Man Who Lives Next Door"

have something to do with......."The Incident"?.....

Bye Bye Birdy

Gidget: I don't know Duke. Other than the couch being gone, you
still don't have me convinced that all these
changes are such a bad thing.

Duke: OK, maybe you're right. Maybe they aren't such

a bad thing after all. Hey have you talked to Rocky the

male/female bird lately?

Gidget: No I haven't. Why do you ask?

Duke: Just curious. Have you heard him/her

squawking lately?

Gidget: No come to think of it I haven't. Actually

that's been kinda nice. What's your point?

Duke: My point is, Rocky the Bird doesn't live

here anymore.

Gidget: No way! Are you sure?

Duke: Yep. I've been in his/her room, and there is

no sign that Rocky the Bird was ever in there.

No cage. No seeds scattered around. Nothing.

Gidget: Wow. That's crazy. Where do you think

he/she went?

Duke: That's just it Gidget. Where could he/she

have gone. And so quickly. One second he/she was

chirping away, and then "poof". Vanished into thin air.....

Gidget: Do you think Rocky the Bird disappeared during......

...."The Incident"?

Duke: I don't know Gidget. What do you think?.....
