I groaned. I didn’t want Arabella sharing my room. It

wasn’t that the room was too small. It was fantastically big.

After school on Friday we had to help Mum get

everything ready. We unfolded the spare bed and put the

sheets on. We even got the spare duvet and a towel from

The doorbell rang at exactly four twenty. Mum opened

the door.

“Hi!” she said and gave The Alien and Auntie Jill a

hug. Josh and I stayed where we were in my room. The

Alien would find us soon enough.
