Sorry it took soooooo so so long to write but I'm really trying.
Here is the second chapter of my book Dr.Zoople and Frank on Mercury.
P.S.
We started school that my excuse.

Chapter 2

"Good now lets get in the ship!" said Dr.Zoople
"O.K.!" Frank exclaimed
When they were on the ship Dr.Zoople said to the computer "Computer! activate countdown to 20 seconds!"
"Isn't it usually 10 seconds?"
"Yes, but I need to get something in back room of the spaceship that I really need to get. Ooh... computer restart countdown to a minute." Dr.Zoople hurried off to the back room of the ship. Then he came back, sat down and buckled his seat belt.
"Here boy put this on!"
"What is it?" Frank asked
"It's a helmet what else?"
Frank put it on in a hurry then the computer said
"10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 ignition!"
"Here weeee gooooo!" Dr.Zoople exclaimed. Then they felt a thump!
"Dr.Zoople did we land?" Frank asked
"No sirrry were just in the orbit of the earth!"
"What do you mean?"

"You didn't learn about orbit in science?"
"No"
"Oh, what are they teaching in school these days? O.K. boy, I'll tell you about the orbit. That is if you want me to tell you, do you?"
"Yes sir!" Frank said
"Good, hand me that white board, would you."
Frank reached up and got the white board.
"You see Frank," Dr.Zoople said drawing a picture of Earth, the moon , and the spaceship. "When something in space is smaller than another thing, it gets pulled in by Gravity and..."
"Wait a sec Dr.Zoople," Frank interrupted "You ,mean the moon is in orbit with the Earth?"
"Don't tell me you didn't know that!"
"Eh, no."
Dr.Zoople shook his head and said,
"Boy, you have a lot to learn about space! Any way as I was saying.When something is bigger then, lets say the moon, it gets pulled in by gravity by the Earth we call it orbit! Then it starts to go around and around and around and around and..."
"DR. ZOOPLE! WERE GOING TO CRASH!"
"Boy, your going to kill my ears!"
Frank started to calm down and Dr.Zoople said "Now, Boy, explain to me quietly, what's the matter?!"
Frank, out of breath said
"Dr. Zoople, I think you should look at the Earth."
"Yeah, what's the matter with it?"
Frank reached in a panic for the wheel, Dr. Zoople slapped his hand and said "FRANK, stop it!"
"Lllooook, were going to crrrash iiinttto Earth!" Frank stuttered.
Dr. Zoople looked and replied "Frank, I am disappointed in you. What have I been telling you about orbit?"
"Well, I did hear what you said but I kinda was distracted by the Earth."
"So you didn't hear anything that I said about orbit?"
"Yeah, I did, but the very end I didn't really listen."
"Well, that part wasn't important."
"Good!"
"Now, I think we should get out of orbit don't ya think?"
"Yeah, that might be a good idea!"
"O.K. Computer release from orbit in ten seconds. Put on your helmet Frank!"
The computer started the countdown, "10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 release!"
Dr.Zoople grabbed the wheel and flew the space ship towards the moon, he flew write past it. Frank tried to look forward but they were going to fast he had to look away or else his eyes would fly out of his sockets. "Dr.Zoople! I think were going too fast!" Frank screamed, they were going so fast Frank couldn't even hear his own voice.
"What did you say boy?" Dr.Zoople had a much louder yell and Frank didn't know he had an ear piece in his ear, so Frank could hear him.
"I think were going to fast!"
I can't hear you, but if your saying were going to fast we aren't. If we go any slower we might get pulled in by Venus!"
"OH!"
to be continued...


And that is the conclusion of Chap. 2 of Dr.Zoople and Frank on Mercury.
