They went into the house and Zogol switched on the large screen. There was a message. It said 'Alan, come home wherever you are.'

Zogol pressed another button and Alan saw a picture of his parents. His mum was crying and his dad looked terrible.
"This is Earth TV," said Zogol. "They are looking for you."
Alan wanted to cry. "I must go home," he said.
"Yes, I know," said Zogol.

They took the flying silver car back to the spaceship and walked along the silver walkway into the spaceship. It took off into space and whizzed through the air at an incredible speed. In no time at all the spaceship landed back on Earth.

Alan walked down the silver walkway for the last time with a tear in his eye.
"Goodbye!" he called to Zogol.
He could see Zogol's face looking out of the window of the spaceship. There was a tear rolling down his face.
"Come back one day," called Alan.
"Yes, I will," replied Zogol.

Alan set off towards the garden of his house and saw his dog Spot running towards him and barking happily.
