powerful forces on Earth.”
    We filed back into the observatory and planned our next move. While Dr. Wackjöb crunched numbers into his computer, trying to determine the exact coordinates of the alien landing, Vivian, the Not-Right Brothers, and I talked things over. The first thing we addressed was my nightly visits by little gray space men. The more snores they harnessed, the more power they had.
    â€œLet’s ambush them when they materialize from that dark shadow,” Vivian suggested.
    â€œWhat do you mean?” TJ asked.
    â€œYou guys have a sleepover at Schnoz’s house. When the aliens appear to do their hose-up-the-nose ritual, you grab them and tie them up as prisoners.”
    â€œThat’s stupid,” Jimmy said. “What are we supposed to do with them after we tie them up? Hold them for ransom until they agree to leave our planet alone?”
    â€œWe should just conk them over the head,” Mumps said, flailing around like a ninja ready for battle. “One quick karate chop to the skull and they’d be history.”
    â€œMumps, you pass out just seeing them on video,” I said. “If you saw an alien in real life, you’d probably spontaneously combust. As far as I’m concerned, Vivian’s on the right track.”
    â€œHow so?” Jimmy asked.
    â€œYou guys saw the aliens on tape.They’re about our size. Jimmy, do you think you can sew up a couple alien costumes?”
    â€œSchnoz, that’s a brilliant idea!” Vivian beamed. “We should tie up the real aliens and then dress up like them. That way we can go on board Robo-Nose and sabotage it from the inside.”
    I slapped Vivian a high-five. “Exactly right. Wrap them up in duct tape.That stuff is good for practically everything.”
    â€œThe dark shadow is some kind of passageway that transports them to our world and then back to Robo-Nose, their main booger ship,” TJ said. “We just have to enter the shadow in place of the real aliens.”
    Jimmy paced around the room, thinking. “It sounds like a good plan to me, but who is going to take the trip from the shadow to Robo-Nose? This is a lot riskier than just sneaking into our school to battle ECU.”
    â€œThere’s no way I’m doing it,” Mumps said. “I’ll stay down here on solid ground and work with Dr. Wackjöb.”
    Vivian looked at Jimmy and TJ. “Then it’s up to us, partners. It can’t be Schnoz because he has to battle them nostril to nostril from the outside.” She looked at her watch. “Schnoz, you better fly us home so Jimmy can stitch up some alien costumes. It looks like we’re going to have a busy night ahead of us.”
    Just as we had done when we first formed our crime-fighting superhero team, we all bent over until our noses were touching.
    â€œOn the count of three,” I said. “One, two, three…”
    â€œ Gríöarstór Nef! ” we all screamed.

CHAPTER 15
    SLEEPOVER
    A fter an hour of begging, my mom and dad reluctantly agreed to allow Jimmy, Mumps, and TJ to sleep over. Of course, Vivian couldn’t spend the night because she’s a girl, but we had that all figured out. The two of us would be in constant walkie-talkie communication.When the Not-Right Brothers and I had subdued the aliens, I’d let Vivian know and she would sneak over to my house. She, Jimmy, and TJ would then slip on the alien suits and disappear into Robo-Nose.
    â€œThis is the fastest sewing job I’ve ever done in my life,” Jimmy said when he got to my house that night.
    â€œLet me see your work,” I asked, anxious to see his creation.
    â€œDon’t worry, Schnoz,” TJ said. “You’re going to be impressed by our fashion artist friend.”
    Jimmy yanked out the three costumes from his gym bag. The outfits were awesome, right down to the silver-colored material to the slits for the mouth and
