– Ginger, look, here is the best view of our street and yard from this place, and we have a place to hide.
– I agree with you, Timosha, we can't find a better observation post. Look, Rex's booth is clearly visible from here, let's go down to him and tell him about our plan, suggested Ginger. They began to descend cautiously from the roof of the barn. Meanwhile, Rex was in his booth, trying to deal with this unfamiliar smell:
– I wonder which side he came from? Rex sucked in a lot of air, and the smell hit him sharply in the nose. Someone was very close. He stuck his muzzle out of the booth, as someone immediately grabbed him, Rex howled in pain, terrible, big claws did not let go of his nose. Then the dog snapped his teeth with all his might, and a large tuft of blue fur remained on his teeth. Quickly jumping out of the booth, he rushed after the offender with a growl. But Kof turned out to be very agile, jumping over the fence, he disappeared into the neighboring yard. Ginger and Timofey ran up to Rex.
–Who was that?" How did you miss him? Was it really an alien cat? Both cats shouted in unison.
– Very much like it, Rex spat out a piece of blue wool from his mouth, which prevented him from speaking. And here is the proof of that, he pointed to a tuft of wool.
Chapter III
Well, now we are all convinced that Polkan did not dream up anything, and now someone will have to apologize to him, Rex told the cats. Ginger lowered his head, he felt very uncomfortable, he remembered how he had offended Polkan today.
– How do we fight these aliens now? Timofey asked his friends.
– It is necessary for all cats and dogs to unite and act together, the only way we can expel these Cats from our village, and from our planet in general.
– Yes, but not all dogs are friends with us cats, – Timosha noticed.
– We will have to temporarily forget about our differences, and start making friends and helping each other, as they say: one for all and all for one! And at this time, the Coffs entered the courtyard. Rex, noticing them, became worried about how he alone could cope with five large Coffees and how to protect his two weak friends. The dog shielded Ginger and Timosha, and assumed an intimidating pose, spreading his paws wide, straining all his muscles, while raising his withers and grinning menacingly, showing his strong teeth. In an instant, strength and malice intertwined in him.
– No, I will not give you my friends in the claws, my teeth will be able to cope with you! Rex shouted and growled menacingly.
Hoping, in this way, to prevent the attack of the Kof, and to give his friends the opportunity to retreat, and bring him help. The Coffs stood in confusion for a while, but when they heard the call of their leader, they moved towards them, ready to use their formidable weapons, powerful claws. And at this dangerous moment for Rex and his friends, Polkan ran into the yard with a pack of dogs.
– Hold on friends, we are coming to your aid! one of the dogs shouted. The Coffs, hearing the numerous growling of dogs behind them, began to retreat. They ran right into a high fence, the Cops were very scared, and the dogs were determined to deal with them. But Polkan decided to prevent this interplanetary fight. He came forward, holding a small Kof in his teeth, he was squeaking and calling for help from his mother. The dog gently lowered him to the ground. The whole pack of dogs and Cows were ready for a big fight, but the helpless squeak of the baby kept them in place.
– Whose baby? Take it away! I caught him in the dark on the road, and there are cars driving there, and it wasn't safe for him at all! Polkan shouted, staying in place and thereby setting an example to the rest of his brethren. One of the Cops could not stand the crying of his baby and rushed to him.
"Thank you, you found and saved my son," Kof said. The aliens huddled together in anticipation of reprisals against themselves. But noticing that the dogs changed their minds about attacking them, they calmed down a little. The leader of the Kof stepped forward and said: "Earthlings, we have become ashamed of all our bad deeds that we have done here, and if you can, then forgive us! We wanted to conquer you and your planet and become the masters of the Earth. But I have now made a different decision, to return back to my planet Kof, but this can only happen when you can help us."
– And what happened there? Rex asked, rubbing his wounded nose with his paw, and trying to curb his anger.
– For some reason, our on-board computer has stopped working, and we can't take off without it, – said the leader. The dogs were at a loss, they did not know how to help the Dogs.
– We don't know what a computer is, and what it looks like, the dogs confessed. And suddenly there was a quiet voice of the cat:
– Let me try to help you, it was Ginger who came forward. I'm a little familiar with the work of a computer, maybe I can do something," said the cat. Everyone looked at their furry friend in surprise.
– Yes, don't look at me as if you're seeing me for the first time, he looked around with a playful look and jokingly said: hello, I'm Ginger, the savior of our planet and aliens, – he introduced himself. Everyone immediately became amused by this, and they agreed to meet the next day at the spaceship.
The next morning, the cats Ginger and Timosha with their best friends Rex and Polkan went to the spaceship that landed near the village at a high cliff that stretches to the sea. Friends quickly got to her, but the ship was not there.
–Where's the ship?" Maybe he has already left without our help? – looking around, Ginger exclaimed.
– Friends, come here to this path that leads behind the rock. I seem to have picked up the trail of aliens, called all the Polkan.
–Is there a passage between the rock and the sea?" Rex asked, I've never seen him here.
– Look, this path appeared here when the tide began to ebb, the water receded and now you can walk around this impregnable rock.
"Now we'll have to get back before the tide comes in, before the water floods this passage again," Ginger warned his friends. And they hurried along this shaky, drenched path, behind the rock to the ship.
– And here she is! What a huge rocket, like a second rock by the sea! The whole company stopped and stared in amazement at the alien spaceship.
– It looks like a big, thick drill, you see, there are hollows on the sides with a screw, – Rusty showed with his paw. While they were looking at him, the hatch suddenly opened and the leader of the Kof came out of the ship.
– Hello, I am waiting for you with great impatience, we need to leave your planet as soon as possible. We are running out of solar charge. We didn't manage to recharge the batteries here, although you have a hot sun shining here. They went inside the ship, and Kof pointed to the computer. It was very similar to our earthly one. There were, of course, differences, but the power button was in the same place. Ginger pressed on it, and the computer started downloading the ship's control program. After starting the program, the cat found a button with a map on the screen and pressed it with his paw. A star map of the ship's flight unfolded on the screen. Ginger carefully scanned their flight route, and indicated the trajectory of the ship's flight in the opposite direction to the planet Kof, setting the time of the rocket's takeoff. Then he invited his friends to leave the ship. The Coffs thanked them for their help, and began to prepare for takeoff.
