But don't they have to live on another planet to be aliens? And these "countries"...ain't that what you call the place outside a town?

[What is this, an abnormally large planet with planets inside it? Earth sounded like an interesting place to visit.]

So how big are we talkin'?

Yeah, it actually talked back to me! Janet, that's what she named herself, was a lonely little planet all empty and by herself when we found her, but she's real nice and can make trees and mountains and flowers wherever she wants! But now she has a moon, so she ain't lonely anymore.[Janet was one of his favorite places: to him, the beautiful scenery and a new friend to talk to more than made up for the terrifying moments.]
