In the year 5064, we made contact. Unfortunately, that is not part of the story.  Neither is the fact that a year earlier a renowned astrologist, chemist, and alchemist was publicly quoted to have said that he had proven that we are indeed alone. Also, this man was later convicted of treason in the primitive aliens court systems. He later got the acid treatment. Now, to our story.

     It was the year 2010, and many people were gathering at the first annual WUA (Word Usage Awards) ceremony (funded by Websters Dictionaries and NASA). These awards are offered to actors who gave the most spirited use of certain words. Some of the categories included: mundane, narrative, volley, and in.

     Little did these people know that earlier that day, a masked man had materialized inside the Avril Lavigne theater, which is named after the singer who became a pop icon after the release of her 2002 Complicated and went on to star in movies such as Roller Coaster Tycoon: The Movie. Anyways, this man materialized inside the theater. He slowly made his way to the prop room, where all the trophies were kept, and he got the cheeseburger he left there earlier. Then, another man entered. He took the trophies for the words fidelity through scratch, and dematerialized back to his spaceship headed for Alpha Centauri.

As the ceremony began, everything seemed fine, and finally, Big Bird (the host) floated down on his new hover boots.

     "Hi, yall. Welcome to the WUA awards. Where every letter and word has a day, and thank you for your sympathy, as Grouch passed away last week. All of us at Sesame Street are all heartbroken."

     Little did he know that on Sesame Street; Ernie, Elmo, and Grover were having a party with all their friends.

        "Now, for the first award," he said. But no award came up the shoot.

        "I said, time for the first award." Still no award.

        Pandemonium (which, coincidentally, the award for had been won by Christopher Lloyd) struck. Big Bird kicked the shoot, which only increased his anger. A mob formed in the audience, as everyone got up screaming and running around. No one noticed or cared about the man who calmly spoke into his cell phone, Beam me up Scotty, and disappeared. Yet, he is not part of the story either.

        As the mob got almost completely out of control, a man stood up at the podium and said, "SIT DOWN!"

        Everyone froze, and slowly made their way to their seats.

        As everyone looked to the stage, many screamed in astonishment at the sight of Big Bird lying on the floor, obviously dead. It appeared he had choked himself with his own pinky.

        "Everyone calm down," said the man, who happened to be James Garner, "The trophies have been stolen but we are already tracking the man who stole them and are chasing him right now."

          At that precise moment, the first shots were fired.

          "O Darn," said the thief.

          The chase lasted for several minutes until the car crashed off the intergalactic highway and crashed into a billboard, which coincidentally was advertising the WUA awards.

            Unfortunately, the trophies were sucked into a wormhole, which by some luck of the draw, formed and disappeared. They appeared back on Earth several thousand years ago and caused a great amount of chaos. Some called it a grunt garble GRUNT! Others just called it a grunt, yet one thing is for certain. They caused much more chaos when discovered by modern humans.
