Fun Fact: Hover
boards exist now! It is naturally very, very expensive and can only
hover only certain surfaces. (It works through magnetism which has
that limitation). Here's a link to their Kickstarter page to see
their videos and stuff.

If we keep making all this super advanced stuff I'm going to run out
of stuff for science fiction stories. Anyway onto the flash fiction!
Earth's
Makeover
“Oh my this
planet could do with a makeover. Don't you agree sister?” One alien
said to another in their language from a far off world.
“Oh yes
sister, it is a beautiful place. It's blue with wonderful white
clouds. Looks like its full of life. And nothing needs to be
decorated and made perfect quite like a world full of life.” The
alien sisters Galu and Payli began work on their makeover of the
planet from their ship. They pressed button after button and pulled
lever after lever with their myriad of hands and tentacles.
“Let's make
sure we analyze the planet while we give it a good makeover,”
Galu commented. “According to the dominate life form's databases that place is called Russia. Oh, what an
interesting history. But really I think they'd be better off if
everything wasn't so cold.”
“But ice is
so pretty sister!” Payli countered.
Galu thought it
over. “Then lets change that Russia place to a pretty forest and
change all the desert places into big sheets of ice.”
“May I?”
Payli asked.
“Oh, very
well.”
Payli smiled
with both mouths. One of the funnest parts of doing a makeover of a
planet was applying the changes. Painting the world the way they
wanted it to be. With precise calculations and rapid decisions Payli
painted the world. Egypt froze over along with several other desert
countries while Russia turned into a beautiful, bountiful forest.
Payli told her
sister, “I think I'll keep painting the world wonderful new ways
with new habitats and lands so that it looks so wonderful. Maybe I'll
even make a few faces!”
Galu patted her
sister on her third shoulder. “And I'm certain it'll look
beautiful. I'll work on changing the cultures and minds of the
inhabitants. There's only one species worth changing the minds of so
it should be easy.” Galu prepared herself to change the cultures of
everyone on the planet. Many brainwashing programs were already
loaded into the ship for it to broadcast into the minds of the people
of the world. Just like the world changing technology it would be an
easy feat. “Religion first? Or maybe just start with how they
choose who to love?”
Another alien
voice angrily shouted to the two girls in their spaceship over their
communicator. “You kids are grounded! Changing a planet without
permission or adult supervision? If that planet isn't exactly the way
you found it by the time I get there you'll never drive a spaceship
until the day you move out!”
The girls
panicked and started changing the planet back to normal. Their father
was too angry for them to think about anything else. The wiped the
memories of all the planet's inhabitants and restored all the
creatures back to life that were killed by their changes. The Earth
was as if they had never visited. They never gave another planet a
makeover.
