Twenty years later after E.T.
left the Earth, Elliot, Michael and Gertie got married and had their children.
Elliot married Daisy and had two children. Their names were Rob and Jill.
Michael married Margaret and had one child. Her name was Lacy. Gertie had
married Ben and had one child. His name was Bill. Elliot was having dreams
about E.T. Mary having been diagnosed with leukemia and having a short time to
live. Elliot had mentioned when E.T. said something like, "I will be
back" twenty years ago. Elliot said to Daisy, "I have been having
dream about the alien from outer space, and I believe he is coming."
Daisy replied, "I sure would
like to meet him. I really missed him 20 years ago. Our kids sure would like to
meet him."
Elliot replied, "I think
he'll return to the woods where we used to play near where my mother lives. I
hope my mother will live to see him before she goes. I think she would be
happy. I wish I didn't throw out that homemade machine that I used to make
contact with the other E.T.s. It played some kind of musical note with a saw
blade and used an umbrella as an antenna."
Elliot called his brother Michael
and his sister Gertie to tell them about the experience. They had talked about
the idea of building the machine like they did before. Michael and his family
and Gertie and her family came to see Elliot. Michael had the idea for the
machine. Michael said, "Since I got the laptop computer, I could just
program the musical notes into the computer. Then we could mount a mini
satellite dish for the antenna. We can all go mountain biking out to those
woods."
Gertie replied, "I remember
those days when we biked up on that old dirt road and it was rough. I'm glad
someone invented mountain bikes."
Bill asked, "Do you think I
will see a real alien?"
Gertie replied, "I hope
so."
Jill asked, "Can we take
alien to see my grandma before she dies?"
Elliot replied, "I hope so.
We'll probably need to find some kind of clothes so others can't see him. We
should do that at night. Maybe we could fly in those bikes like we did when we
were kids."
This Saturday, Elliot, Michael,
Gertie and their families went mountain biking into the woods where they met
E.T. 20 years ago. Michael brought the laptop computer programmed with musical
notes and Elliot brought the mini satellite dish. Michael explained,
"Remember to keep the lights off on the bikes. We don't want to get
stopped by NASA. We might be flying in the air with our bikes as we did 20
years ago."
Jill brought out her sketch of
E.T. and all were astounded when the sketch showed some kind of light touching
Mary with E.T.'s finger. Jill asked, "Do you think E.T. could cure her
cancer? I had a dream of that."
Elliot replied, "Maybe
that’s a message from E.T. Lets pray for a miracle.
It just was becoming dusk that
evening. They had set up the satellite disk and hooked it on to the computer.
They played the musical notes until the spaceship came to land. The E.T. came
out of the spaceship and hugged all the members of the three families. E.T.
said, "It's been a long time since I saw you. You sure have grown up since
I saw you last time."
Elliot replied, "I'm glad
you came back. My mother has been sick with cancer, and she is really dying. I
hope you can help her."
E.T. replied, "Just take me
there."
The spaceship took off for now so
the government wouldn't catch them. E.T. got in the basket on one of the bikes
and rode along the dirt road. They decided to fly all the bikes until it got to
Mary's house. When they all got to Mary’s house, they brought E.T to see Mary.
Eliot said to his mother, "Do you remember him from 20 years ago?"
Mary replied, "Yes, I
remember you. I thought you were dying at that time. It was a miracle that you
came back. I only have few weeks to live."
E.T finger glowed and touched Mary,
and her healing began. E.T. said, "Ouch!"
Mary replied, "Ouch is
correct for me. Whatever you did, the pain is gone. I sure felt a lot better
now. I had leukemia for six months. I went to have a chemo and that’s why I
have no hair."
E.T said, "I should ‘phone
home’ so I can get home to my planet. Our planet is full of plants. We even got
plants from Earth last time we were here."
Michael said, "I hope we get
you back to the spaceship before NASA or the Air Force gets there."
Gertie replied, "I think
that only one of us would take E.T. back. This way it would be more difficult
for anyone to see us out in the woods."
Michael decided to take E.T. back
to the woods with the computer to play musical notes. E.T. hugged Mary and all
the members of the family. Michael took E.T. on his mountain bike and flew up
in the air to the woods. He played the musical notes until the spaceship
returned. The cars marked with Air Force were coming up the dirt road. The E.T
hurriedly got inside the spaceship and said, "Goodbye. You better get out
before they see you around."
Michael replied, "I hope you
can visit us again."
The spaceship took off just
before the Air Force got here. Michael rode his mountain bike down on the back
trail so the Air Force would not see him.
The next day, Mary got up from
the bed and felt better. For the first time, she ate a good breakfast. She
called Michael, Gertie, Elliot and their families to come to her house. When
they arrived, Mary was talking about the experience of E.T. Mary said,
"Since E.T put his finger on my body, the pain has gone away. I sure will
be glad when my hair grows back."
Elliot replied, "We should
get you to the doctor and have it x-rayed again to see if the cancer is gone.
It wouldn’t be a good idea to demand healing treatment from E.T. You might tell
a doctor that it was more like faith healing."
Mary replied, "Most doctors
never believe in those things."
The next day, Gertie took Mary to
the doctor to get the x-ray and blood test. After the test, the doctor was
amazed that leukemia was negative. The doctor told her, "Looks like you
had a spontaneous remission. Last week, you were on your death bed. What did
you do to get spontaneous remission?"
Mary replied, "Some kind of
faith healer came and gave me the healing. I don’t really know who he is or
where he is from."
The doctor asked, "Is he a
witch doctor?"
Mary replied, "I have no
idea whether he was a witch doctor, someone from outer space or some kind of
religious healer or guru. He told me it is your faith that heals. You are
really healing yourself. I did take herbs and changed my diet like eating more
fruit and vegetables. Whatever he is must be some kind of angel. I do believe
in angels."
The doctor replied, "I’ll
keep checking on you once a month to make sure the cancer doesn’t come
back."
For the past month, Mary went
back to work, exercised and even rode the mountain bike on weekends. She also
joined Unity Church since they are open-minded and very friendly people. One
Sunday, Mary, Eliot, Gertie, Michael and their family went to Unity Church and
had an interesting lecture. The lecture was about self-healing. The minister
said during the lecture, "The healing comes from within you. Some people believe healing can occur through practices
such as Reiki, laying on of hands, or the intervention of angels. It’s really you that are doing the
healing."
Later that afternoon, Mary and
her family decided to mountain bike into the woods where the spaceship landed.
They put a few flowers there as a reminder of the day that E.T came. They all
prayed and thanked E.T. for the miracle. Jill said, "I hope E.T. will come
back again."
Mary replied, "Maybe he will
someday. He’s probably home by now."
Mary continued to be checked by a
doctor for next several months. The cancer never came back. Everything had been
normal for their activities.
