Oobleckia

 

"5,4,3,2,1 blast off" went the count down of the ship bound for Oobleckia. As they watched there loved planet fade away into the ever growing darkness grew. As Keala tried to remember when she could just go and talk with her friends. The reason is that she is the type that just likes to talk to every one that came past her. As Josh tried to remember his brother as he always had to stick up for him. So he was wondering if his little brother would be ok. Josh was the type that was not afraid of any thing. Then there was Zane as he tried to imagine how long it would be till he would feel the heat from the earth under his feet. Zane was the type that was a real scared cat. The only reason that they let him go up was he was the only one that he went was because they needed a third person.

The astronauts were in space for over a year now. Then only now they started to enter the atmosphere of Oobleckia. The whole time they were floating around. So they really want to be able to walk on solid ground. They were also very eager to see if they could eat the vegetation there, because they were living off the frozen tube food that they give you. When you go to space and it is in tubes like tooth paste.

So as they entered the atmosphere of Oobleckia they started to shake and lost control of their space ship. They started going to the land but all of a sudden they started to go to the oobleck. So all of a sudden the SPASH in to the oobleck. They then find a path that lead to the land.

They then encounter the natives of the planet, the strange creatures asked if the spoke their language. Amazingly their language was English, which was what the astronauts spoke. The creatures looked exactly like regular children from earth, but the only thing that was different was that they were green. They were also very short but were very old. Then as they looked back out in to the ocean they saw something about the size of a big cargo ship jump out of the oobleck. So of course Zane was getting all scared. Josh asked the green little man what that was and they said that, was the sea monster.

The astronauts were afraid that if they get stuck in the oobleck then they may not have enough fuel to get back to the earth. So Keala was asking in there was away to get out the oobleck and not get stuck. She found out that the oobleck will harden with some heat. So they think of a way to heat the Oobleck with out using any of their precious fuel.

The astronauts were also faced with the challenge and that was how to deal with the sea monster. So they were thinking out loud when one of the little martians over heard their conversation. So the little martians go and see if they could help with the sea monster. So after they think about it they diced to help the astronauts. The astronauts were wondering if they could trust the martians. So the say that they just have to trust them.

So now they had to think of a way to heat the oobleck. So they think that they should make a giant magnifying glass that would heat the Oobleck. So they make the glass with the stuff that they brought along.

So when they are ready to take off they tell the martians to get ready. The reason is because they wanted to be sure that they do not get tied up with the sea monster because they just had enough fuel to get home. So they could not afford to get stuck with the sea monster.

Then they started setting up the glass. So they set the glass up on the floating droids that the astronauts brought so that it would be right above the space ship. Then Zane started getting worried about all the things that could go wrong. So then Josh starts a suring him that every thing is going to be OK. So then Keala starts to talk to her self.

So then as they started to go on the ship the martians give them all these presents, like food, the types of flowers from the planet, and gave every one a ray gun. So then as the Oobleck started to harden they started to start up the egine.

Then they started to see the monster coming at them faster then a steaming frate train. So then Zane of course started to get all plane out scared and is sweating heavily. Then out of the corner of their eye they see the little martians coming out on their boats, and with all their spears and their ray guns to try to defeat the monster. So as they fought the mighty beast. Then they find out that they can not deafeat the monster and then the decide to just try to hold the monster off for as long as they possibly could. So then they send a messege to the astronots telling them that they have to hurry and get away.

So the astronots find that they were getting even more stuck on the Oobleck. So they then decide to leave the floaters behind on the planet so they could get away. As they were leaving the planet they see the little martians shooting their ray guns and throwing their spears, and doing every thing that they could. The sad thing was that they saw the first ship get taken under as they left.
