Earth is being invaded by… a sports loving alien?
That’s right! Meet Oomi, a little alien who’s come to Earth to learn all he can about Earth’s many, many sports. Oomi befriends a rising soccer star, Arya and together, the two of them embark on a fun-filled adventure to introduce Oomi to as many sports as they can before Oomi returns home. Along the way, they’ll be hounded by government agents, nosy teenagers, and bumbling henchmen, all trying to find what or WHO Arya is hiding.
Join Oomi and Arya for thrills, fun, and a whole lot of sports action!

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh ah, I have a feeling that this is going
to be my very favorite sport.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
We're outside, the birds are singing, and look at these
beautiful trees and rivers and lakes. Isn't it just the best?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
It's six thirty in the morning, I know.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
But how else are we supposed to let Umi play
golf without causing too much of a scene. It's a
Tuesday morning and we're the first ones out here. We
shouldn't have to worry about any other people showing up
for a while, especially since we took the busway out
of town to this course. Maybe we can just relax
a bit today.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Good thing I was able to change into that man
who was on the bus. But is this really what
people wear when they play golf?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
No, don't play in a suit and tie. But you'll
be fine.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
You're not on a team, so it's not like there's
a uniform you need to wear.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
All right, OOMI pay attention. This is your set of
golf clubs. We had to rent them, so try to
be careful with them.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Okay, whoa, there's so many? Wait, why would I need
more than one?
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Well, each club does something a little different. We'll explain
it as we go.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
You ready to play?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Oh? I am ready. You are about to witness the
best game of golf ever played on your planet.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
You almost did it. That was really close. Okay, this time,
I want you to stand just a little closer to
the ball and make sure you keep your head down
during the swing. Don't take your eyes off the ball.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Haha, no problem.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Watch this, Oh, super close? Try again? How many times
is that now?
Speaker 5 (02:02):
I think that was his seventh swing. He hasn't touched
the ball yet. This is a par five. Once he
finally hits it, I think we'll be like if he
gets a triple bogie.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Oh wait, what'd you say? You say a triple bogie?
Oh man, that must be even better than I thought.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Actually, bogies are bad. Oomie see par Is. How many
chances it should take the average golfer to get the
ball into the hole. If you do it in one
less swing than average, it's called a birdie. If you
do it in one more swing than average, it's called
a bogie. So what triple bogie means? It took you
three more swings than the average golfer, and swings are
(02:41):
usually called strokes, by the way.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah, so bogies are a good thing, got it?
Speaker 5 (02:47):
No, that's not what it Just let it go, Ariya.
We'll help them learn about scoring later. Let's try to
get him to at least hit the ball for now.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Ah.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Okay Umi, here's what we're gonna do this time. I
want you to swing slower, don't try to hit the
ball far, just try to make sure you hit it. Okay.
I have a good feeling you're gonna get the hang
of it soon. E Hey, there you go.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
You did it.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Umi.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
The ball went like twenty yards, and.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
That's pretty good for a first timer, right, Vivi, Oh yeah, definitely.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I knew it. I bet I could finish this hole
in one hundred swings.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Still doesn't get that a lower number is better than
a higher number in golf.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Like you said, let's worry about the scoring later. Okay Umi.
Now we go to where your ball landed so you
can hit it again.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
That shouldn't take too long.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Okay, Now we're going to use a different club. You
used what was called a driver to hit your first shot,
But now that you've hit the ball once, you can't
use a tea anymore. You've got to hit the ball
where it's lying there in the grass, so you'll need
to use Oh, I want to use this, No, you
don't want to use that. That's the putter. We'll use
(04:15):
that later when we get on the green. Yeah, in
like another hour, viv here, Umi, try this. It's called
a three iron. The lower the number, the farther the
ball will go when you hit it.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Try it out, Aria, there's a lot of vocabulary in
this game. All right, okay, all right, I want to
try the putter. Let me try the putter, Ariya, Aria,
give me the putter.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Okay, sure, go ahead, dude.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I like the putter. I think I'm going to use
this one.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Is he serious?
Speaker 5 (04:46):
We don't have all day out of here, Aria, and
this might literally take all day, I know.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Just let him finish this hole with the putter, and
he'll see how much faster it will go on the
other holes if he uses some different clubs.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
If you say so, stroke twenty one, stroke forty nine.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Stroke.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Sixty three, stroke eighty seven, and stroke one fourteen. Congratulations,
you did it, haha.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
See I told you I'd be awesome at this. No
one on your whole planet has ever got a score
that high, have they?
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Honestly, you're probably right OOMI, I doubt anyone has ever
scored that high on a single hole of golf. No,
maybe for whole two. You can let me help you
choose your club so we can play a little faster.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Okay, uh, hold two, what do you mean whole two?
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (05:58):
She means the second hole, Umi, as in the next
part of the game.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Then there's whole.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Three, all four way way way Wait?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
What?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
How how many holes are there?
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Eighteen?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
You knew that right?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Eight teen? Emphasis on the tins follow through. Are you
Earthlings totally nuts? That hole took me two hours? Why
would I do that seventeen more times in a row?
Speaker 7 (06:26):
Huh yeah, No, that's a good question. Ain't got a
good question? Tiny?
Speaker 8 (06:31):
Uh yeah, that's a real good question. Such a good
question that uh huh.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
I don't think I know the answer. Plane they need
the tiny.
Speaker 9 (06:42):
I never understood why anyone would want to be out
here in the middle.
Speaker 7 (06:46):
Of all these trees and grass.
Speaker 9 (06:48):
Hitting a little white ball all over the place. There's
much more interesting things that though, like say, finding an
alien running around our planet.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
This give listen up. They're paying close attention to Umi.
I don't think they'll notice if you disappear. You need
to run back to the clubhouse fast, get a golf
cart and come pick us up. What are the two
of you gonna do? We're gonna have to outrun them
for a few minutes. I'll try to keep them talking
as long as I can. Hurry go.
Speaker 8 (07:22):
Her, You, Blaine went there two girls a second ago.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
Shut it, tiny, What you're talking about?
Speaker 6 (07:29):
Girls?
Speaker 1 (07:29):
For?
Speaker 7 (07:30):
There's an alien right here in front of us.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
You know that's not very nice going around calling people aliens.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
Don't blay dumb with us, little girl. See this device.
It tells us that your FRIENDY.
Speaker 9 (07:44):
Has all kinds of alien energy around them.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Wait, now he ain't helman that or maybe your machines busted?
You ever think it's possibly not working?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Right?
Speaker 4 (07:55):
I mean, have you two actually seen an alien?
Speaker 6 (08:00):
She's kind of got a point ball.
Speaker 9 (08:02):
I told you the big Quiet. It don't matter what
we see. Garley, the boss created this tech himself. If
it says your friend's an alien, then he's an alien.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Wait you mean you two aren't in charge?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Humm?
Speaker 4 (08:19):
I would have thought you guys were the boss. Who's
this other person you're taking orders from?
Speaker 6 (08:24):
Well, his name's mister.
Speaker 7 (08:26):
Well you stop talking. You gonna tell us stuff she
ain't suppost to know.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
And while we're at it, why do you let the
little guy boss you around like that? You're like five
times his size?
Speaker 8 (08:38):
Eh, blames the smart one, and I don't like arguing
with him. It's easier just to do what he says exactly.
Speaker 7 (08:45):
That's why mister Smiles put me in charge.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Mister smite huh. So he's the seeker who's looking for aliens.
Speaker 7 (08:57):
What I make? They know you beg Jada boxing, you
make they spell. Mister Spite's nay, he's gotta tell me.
Speaker 8 (09:04):
Oh boy, it's a golf god, but there's no one
driving it.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
It's a ghost.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
Card like god me a big Friday. Can hurry, they're
gonna get away.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Go viv go go, go.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Closer and closer. I really don't like this, Aria.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
I know, I know, but only two more to go? Right?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Right on me?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Oh yes, definitely only two more sports?
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Probably uh uh not probably two more. Then you need
to go home. It's getting too dangerous. You two stay
here and make a plan for tomorrow. Okay, I think
I need to go tell my mom what we heard
about this mister smythe guy. Something about that name sounds familiar,
Oh ah, I have a feeling that this is going
to be my very favorite sport.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
