It creates a kind of warp in which to jump into the alien and the little boy in succession. You find yourself in a large meadow again, and the aliens shows the boy buildings such as the Eiffel Tower. You then get to a beach, where waved to them. You come to a hill, on which some dancing blue aliens. They will continue their journey, in some places Labrinth is included.
