An Out of This World Adventure

In the year 3000, a family lived on Mars. The family consisted of the Dad, the Mom, and the boy. One day, the family decided to take a trip to Pluto. So, they hopped into their space ship. When they had secured themselves, the computer asked, “Where would you like to go today?” Quickly, the Dad replied, “Pluto.” “Calculating route,” the computer replied. Revving the engines, they blasted off from their home on Mars!

            On the way to Pluto, the computer yelled, “Asteroids!” Asteroids were floating past the ship, and one of them accidentally crashed right into the ship! Spinning out of control, the ship quickly spiraled down to the planet far below. Thankfully, the ship landed in water, which cushioned the impact. Because they thought they were going to drown, they screamed with terror. Asteroids surrounded the ship.

             Quickly, a nearby alien saw them and jumped into the water. After pulling the ship onto shore, the alien fell into a tired heap. Jumping out, the family looked at the city while an alien pulled the ship to a repair shop. When a repair man came out of the repair shop, the Dad asked when the ship would be able to fly again. “I would say about two to three years.” the alien replied. Two to three years! On Mars, it would only take a couple of minutes! The Dad asked the alien if it knew another way to get back to Mars. The alien replied, “Try visiting Crazy Calvin. He might know.” When they got to Crazy Calvin’s and asked if he knew how to get back to Mars, he replied, “Hold hands and make a circle around your ship and say, `booer borro boop.’ Nearby aliens waved goodbye as the family teleported back to Mars.
