Later!

Hey!

Huh?

My Spidey sense tells me there's something going on down there.

[grunts] Everything OK?

That boy wants to swing, but if I give up my turn, he'll never let me back on.

Did you ask him to share the swing with you?

He looks like he might be mean and wouldn't share with me.

You'll never know if you don't at least talk to him.

This reminds me of a little mystery Captain Marvel and I had to unravel when we came upon a space alien with a problem.

[grunt] Something going on Captain Marvel?

I'm investigating a crashed alien spaceship.

Whoa! There's the spaceship, but where's the alien?

Look! It's an alien!

Oh! That was easier than I thought it'd be.

Run!

[screams]

What's going on?

Glad you're here Captain Marvel, Spidey.

A creepy-looking monster stole all our sugar.

Then he threw green slime on the counter and now it's all over the place.

[sniff]

No toxic fumes.

I don't think it's dangerous, just slippery.

Maybe we can spot the alien from up high.

See it?

[sigh] No, not yet!

[alien grunts]

What is that thing?

[gurgling]

[tire screech]

Whoa! Something's wrong with that truck!

Help!

[scream]

You get the people; I'll get the truck!

This alien is stealing sugar everywhere he goes.

And what's with leaving green slime all over the place?

Guess we'll find out once we catch him.

Where else could he get a lot of sugar?

The cotton candy vendor!

She's right near his crashed spaceship!

[kids playing]

[alien grunts]

[gasp]

Aahh!

That's him!

[grunts]

I think your sugar- stealing days are done!

[alien grunts]

[beep]

Oops, sorry, I thought my translator was on.

Whoa!

I didn't steal anything.

I paid for all these with this.

Wait, you think you paid for it with the green slime?

Yes, it's very valuable on my planet.

Well, here it just makes a giant mess.

And it's kinda creepy.

Oh! I didn't realize.

I apologize for the mess.

And for scaring anyone.

Oh, I see!

Just an inter-planetary misunderstanding.

I'm very sorry about that, but I have to get these to my ship and fuel up for my trip home.

With sugar?

Yes! Sugar is what my ship runs on.

I promise I'll replace what I took on my next visit.

Sugar as fuel...interesting.

Yeah. He seems scary, but he's just a guy who needs to get back home.

[chirp/engine startup]

Maybe we should give him a hand fueling up his ship.

Sweet!

So, you see, we thought Miek was a really nasty character until we talked to him. Why don't you try that?

Um, hi! Would you like to take turns so I can swing too?

Sure. I was going to ask you, but I thought you looked kinda... mean.

[giggle]

You know, you might not want to judge someone before you know them.

Let me tell you about the time my friend Captain Marvel and I ran into Miek, a space alien.

Oh, you'll like this story, it's a good one! [giggle]
