My Alien Bob

 Written by Aria Stanton 

Hi I am looking for my friend Bob. He is a mint green alien with glamorous skin. He is 100cm tall and has slick hair on his body. His eyes are white and he was last seen wearing pink underwear. I am his only family as he is a little weird and likes to stomp on people. He could be hiding in a cave because it is his favourite place.
