“Oh Wow! Look at that, Billy!” “Holy... What is it, Jimmy?” The two boys stared up into the night sky. “It's fantastic, we gotta tell someone!” “Tell who, Jimmy? If we tell our folks they will know we were here.” “We gotta tell someone, Billy. We can't just ignore it...” “But no-one will believe us, Jimmy, they'll say we made it up and we'll be grounded!” “I know but it's awesome...” “Jimmy, We are gonna be in deep, deep...
