I wanted to do something silly to break things up after the first two stories of this run were more on the serious side. Really tiny aliens seemed to fit the bill, and I liked the image I had in my head of Diantha dogfighting with their ship in the mall. The name of the aliens in this story, Mathastelbroans, was another flimsy attempt at humor on my part. The aliens were toy sized, so Mat Has tel bro Mattel Hasbro.
