Title: Attack of the Dangerous Rubber Ball
Author: TrinityTheSheDevil
Rating: PG
Summary: A strange alien interferes with fixing breakfast on the Andromeda.
Challenge: A Harper fic, no more than 1,000 words, had to include an egg, a weird alien, a secret ingredient, and a wooden door (which I forgot but I'll edit in later), and it had to include the word "ball" more than 5 times.

Beka walked into the "kitchen" of Andromeda to see Harper mixing something in a bowl.
"What are you doing?" She looked in the bowl. There was a weird green paste in the bottom.
"Making pancakes."
"Pancakes? Pancakes aren't green, Harper." She looked disgusted.
"These are. I added my secret ingredient." He turned around to put the bowl on the table, and stepped on a ball lying on the floor. The bowl went flying, which landed on Tyr's head as he walked in.
"Uh oh."
"Boy, what are you doing?!" Tyr raged.
"Umm....I stepped on a ball." Harper backed behind Beka.
"A ball?" Tyr wiped the goop off his face with a towel.
"Yeah, a ball."
Suddenly, the ball started bouncing on its on. It bounced up and landed on the table where Harper was fixing his pancakes.
"Excuse me Sirs, but I am not a ball. I am a Gloduite. We are a race of rubber looking creatures, who are able to camoflouge ourselves as childrens playtoys." A face formed in the rubber creature as it spoke.
"Oh god." Harper fainted.
"I will now proceed to bite you." The Glodiute said, as it jumped off the table and started "biting" Tyr's leg.
Beka swallowed a laugh. It looked more like the creature was humping Tyr.
"GET OFF!" Tyr bellowed as he pounded the creature with eggs.
"NOOOOOO! NOT EGGS! THEY MELT MEEEEE! I'm meeellllttttiiinnnngggg!" The creature said, and turned into a gooey puddle on the floor.
"Oops." Tyr looked down at the puddle, poking it with the toe of his boot. He just destroyed what looked like the first encounter between the Commonwealth and the Glodiutes. Beka suddenly came to the same conclusion.
"Don't tell Dylan!" Tyr and Beka both said at the same time.
"Come on, let's get Harper to medical. I think he hit his head when he fell." Beka gestured to Harper, and Tyr walked over and picked him up.
Beka snickered. She hoped Rommie recorded the creature "biting" Tyr. That would make great blackmail material.
