Today's #flashfiction #EarthsMakeover

“Everyone has skeletons in their closet.”
Dr. Frankenstein #quote*

          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. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/142464853/hendo-hoverboards-worlds-first-real-hoverboard 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.
