PATRICK

Patrick

After soccer practice, Patrick told his friends about a bear attack.  Cassie and Carlos listened to the story as well.  His friends were a little disbelieving until Patrick showed the scars on his arm.  His friends were impressed until Patrick's mom came over and wipe the "scar" off.  Patrick's friends laughed.  Patrick entered the van with his mom and they drove home to their apartment.  After Patrick's mom parked the van, they walked up the steps to their apartments.  His mom was telling him that if he continued to tell lies, no one was going to believe him when he told the trust.  Patrick wasn't paying much attention because he just spotted Officer Hemming.  Patrick called out to Officer Hemming that there was bank robbery.  Office Hemming didn't believe him and told him that his tall tales would get him in trouble one day.  That night a noise woke up Patrick.  He left his bed and looked out his bedroom window.  Patrick was startled to see a lot of activity and humans with trucks everywhere.  Frightened, Patrick leaped back into bed and pulled the covers over his head.  The next morning, his mom woke him up.  Patrick's mom had to go to work.  She told Patrick that Mrs. Jenkins next door would take him to school.  After he got ready, Patrick walked over Mrs. Jenkins' apartment.  He knocked on the door, but no one answered.  Patrick decided to take a peek through the window and was startled when he saw Craterites dressed as humans.  Patrick dashed out of the apartment complex and stopped halfway down the sidewalk.  Every where he looked there were Craterites dressed as humans.  Patrick raced to find Officer Hemming.  When he found Officer Hemming, he began to tell Officer Hemming what he had seen.  But a glance in the side mirror of the police car stopped him.  The mirror had reveal that it wasn't Officer Hemming, but a Craterite disguised as Officer Hemming.  Patrick took off again.  He ran into his soccer buddies and told them about the aliens and how they were after him.  His friends did not believe him and asked if he had scar as well.  They all laughed at Patrick.  Patrick was very hurt.  Patrick sat on a bench and hung his head.  Cassie and Carlos spotted him and went over to see if he was okay.  Patrick told them what had happened with his friends.  Cassie, gently, explained that Patrick had told so many tall tales, that no one knew what to believe.  Cassie and Carlos took Patrick home.  At the door, Patrick asked if Cassie and Carlos could stay with him.  Cassie and Carlos were trying to find the Craterites and couldn't stay.  Carlos mentioned that the Power Rangers would protect him.  Patrick didn't believe in the Power Rangers and told Carlos that now he was telling tall tales.  Later, the Rangers realized that Patrick had seen the Craterites and went and got him from his apartment.  Patrick was walking with the Rangers when Officer Hemming turned the corner.  Patrick knew it wasn't really Officer Hemming and backed away.  The Craterite revealed that he wasn't Officer Hemming and gave chase to Patrick and the Rangers.  Patrick's mom pulled up and urged Patrick to run.  Patrick run into his mom's van and they took off.  Later, Patrick was at the Surf Spot with Carlos, Cassie, Ashley, T.J., and Andros.  Patrick spotted Officer Hemming walked in and called out to him.  Patrick apologized for all the lies he had told.  Officer Hemming accepted his apology and told Patrick it was a hard lesson to learn.  Patrick agreed emphasizing that it was a super hard lesson.
