Glowing Pudding
Jody watched in horror. Her mixed doubles partner, Giles, was covered in a glowing pudding right there on the tennis court! And then as she and the other two players watched, he disappeared.
Jody dropped her racquet, kneeling where Giles played his last. Suddenly, he reappeared! "Jody! The most amazing thing just happened!" he said excitedly, "I know what I've been doing wrong with my serve. I was on the most fantastic spaceship. They showed me video and then one scientist explained how to correct my toss and another ...what?"
"You're covered in glowing pudding!"
"Oh yeah. Well, they said..."

Well that could go in some interesting directions. Nice start!
Great story Susan. I love this idea. I wish some aliens would abduct me and improve my serve.
A fun beginning - romp through sci-fi land. So, what did they say:)
I almost missed this one...a big lol!
Haa... not the expected ending. Turns out the pudding sometimes gives BACK!
love it Susan, great imagination, some serve for that pudding,
LIKE it alot!
